Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 July 2024

ReflecTeen

Delivering a wide range of direct social, educational, mentoring, sports coaching & recreational activities to serve the needs of young people and families in Moston Manchester with a focus on beneficiaries from BAME background and other marginalised communities across Greater Manchester.

This financial year, we delivered more wrap around services compared to the previous year, running youth provision for separate age groups - juniors aged 8 to 12 and seniors aged 13 to 18, four days a week. We saw an increase in targeted family support beneficiaries and targeted diversionary work. We

intensify more on our doorstep-detached outreach to meet young people who will ordinarily not engage in place-based services. Our transitional youth clubs had newer intakes accessing various Sports, Homework

clubs, Reading clubs, Art clubs, Nature Active Gardening club, Group Mentoring, Fitness and Gym. Our after-school club has found its new rhythm this year, and we have reached capacity of 40 participants in each sessions on offer throughout the week. We are delighted to see more parents gaining positive parenting skills with increased attendees at our Positive Parenting Stay and Play sessions.

We have worked with over 206 young people aged 8 to 18 and have indirectly impacted over 3620 wider members of the community through a range of activities throughout the year.

Developing life skills through boxing, multisport, mentoring and gym circuits.

Activities and interventions Targeted Mentoring

Throughout the year ReflecTeen intensified on the provision of diversionary and personal developmental activities in small group mentoring, peer-to-peer and one-onone mentoring and intensive group activities aimed at those most on the verge of offending, anti-social behaviour or disengagement from learning. Referrals are mainly through local schools, the Early help team and self-referrals.

Our services have been available to young people at times and days when schools and other provisions are closed, this puts us in a unique position to cater for their wellbeing, health and safe space to connect with positive activities and responsible adults.

We continue to extend targeted Skills programmes to young adults who are not in education, training or employment and support for parents and economically inactive young adults aged 18 and over.

Breaking Barriers Together

Having piloted work with the second-tier young people exposed to the impact of youth violence, through funding from the Laureus Sport for Good, we have been able to build on this work expanding our work with a network of 5 local schools working with 34 young people both in Year 6 primary and Yr 7/8 secondary schools in our immediate area around the hub.

We currently are seeking opportunities on how we can sustain this intervention support in the coming year.

School Holidays club and playschemes

We are delighted that we were able to deliver the Holiday Activities and Food scheme (HAF) funded by Manchester City Council McrActive aimed at young people in receipt of free school meals, during Christmas, Easter and Summer breaks. This has enabled us to deliver for a third year providing holiday activities with healthy hot meals and trips. We were also able to run additional holiday playschemes to engage young people who do not get free school meals and provide half- term holiday playschemes during February, April, June and October

Community Safety (Keeping Young People, Women & Girls Safe Project)

This year, ReflecTeen expanded its activities delivering girls and young women only project. Further to our core mentoring support, the launch of our Keeping Women and Girls safe project in partnership with Manchester Youth Zone with three other partners has enabled us to deliver girls only sessions. We are grateful for the Core cost funding from Henry Smith Charity and National Lottery Community Fund highest income since inception which afforded us a three-year grant, which has enabled us the opportunity to sustain our organisational core cost over the past two years. We are now at the third year of the funding; our organisation is now looking to attract longer-term financial support.

Doorstep detached intervention support had over 86 contacts. We delivered practical support with the provision of family essentials including culturally appropriate food, and clothing along with Health, and well- being workshop advice and counselling session.

Sports for Well-being

This year has seen a significant increase in the number of young people engaging in participatory multi-sports activities. We are proud to have been affiliated to the Football Association expanding our football offers while expanding the skills of our young people. We have successfully engaged 164 participants in sports activities such as basketball, boxing, tennis, fitness dance, gym circuits, and football sessions.

Youth Voice

ReflecTeen continue to expand the leadership skill delivering and working closely through activities with aim to expand

positive relationships. So far this year we have 8 young leaders in our Youth Advisory Board who have gone through our mentoring support who now influence other young people experiencing the same problems and challenges. Young people are able to express their worries anonymously through the worry jar which further forms the basis of our session planning as we value young peoples’ contribution and youth voice to lead and direct our area of delivery.

Positive Parenting Stay and Play

Positive parenting programme has significantly evolved this year as we have extended the service to allow parents with toddlers under 5s to access parent support and explore our other various services and targeted interventions to promote positive family relationships and gain techniques to help their children’s behaviours within school and supports parents to address specific challenges including practical support, developing skills to support mental well-being, improving school attendance, positive parenting training and skills for employment

support. Throughout the year, ReflecTeen actively works in partnership and has made new partnership networks to ensure that we continue to serve more young people and families, and also to provide services that draw on the skills of different organisations within the youth sector.

Practical support

The demand for assistance with the rising living crisis, delivering the Cost-of-Living Crisis project means that we have steadily increased provision of wraparound services, providing practical support and hot healthy refreshments and food during our provisions. We constantly require donations of hygiene products and food would like to thank the Hygiene Bank and Funding from the MCC CHEM that enabled us to provide support directly to families in need particularly during the winter months with the provision of family essential parcel during our annual Christmas party and wellbeing support programmes helped us to build strong relationships with our elderly local demography to improve their quality of life.

the earliest stage.

Hubs and Facilities

Since taking over the Broadhurst Community Centre, a disused Surestart building, we have been able to bring the building to full use. Moreso, updating the building though renovation of the building walls throughout and installation of a New kitchen through funding and support from B&Q Foundation. This has enabled us to provide meals during all our sessions to young people and families in poverty.

ReflecTeen strategic objectives

6

ReflecTeen aims to be innovative in in-service delivery which is often shaped by the needs of the people that we serve. Our approach to delivery emphasizes prevention and early intervention. Our activities are guided by the voice of young people and set out key strategic objectives:

Trustees are pleased to record their appreciation for the team’s commitment, hard work and resourcefulness.

Achievements and Recognitions

Challenges

There is a pressing need to expand our workforce to meet the demand and reach our engagement goals with high-risk young people and sustain ambitious programming for vulnerable youth. Our ambition as we have seen firsthand the benefit of having small group sessions helps break barriers to invisibility that young people experience in a large group as small group enable them to be more confident to share ideas and feel heard, we seek to continue to have small groups for our different age groups to explore range subject peculiar to their age group and enable a case of softer indicators being explored further.

Plan for the future

The future of our organisation remains positive, but as always, we are reliant on funding and donations. We want to continue to find ways to build community safety and provision of opportunities which can be replicable with other organisations and implemented in various communities. Recruiting high-calibre frontline staff to uphold the quality standards in youth work and operations.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees are keen to move towards holding reserves of 6 months of our organisational turnover in the coming financial year.

ReflecTeen is profoundly appreciative to its funders and partners:

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31 July 2024, which are set out on pages 11 to 15.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2012 (the 2012 act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
