Welcome to our 2024 Impact Report Scan for our online version and additSonal content Showcasing our work to support childreni young people and their families in Barnsley YMCA Youth Work offers young people safe spaces to explore Empowerment of young people and engaging them in the their identity, increase their confidence and understand the development and delivery of our services is central to our ethos. We impact and consequences gf their actions. Using youth work support their personal development and provide opportunities for approaches we enable young people to explore and develop their them to shape their communities and our highly successful young knowledge, understanding and skills, focusing on protective volunteering model enable5 participants to move from accessing factors, anchoring skills and moving young people towards a safer provision to supporting and delivering services. future. Youth Work focusses on the process not the product. Seeking to develop skills and attitudes rather than remedy problem behaviours, it starts where young people are at and the journey is always bespoke to their needs. We have continued to build on this with the development of our Youth Board who held their inaugural meeting in May 2023. They are working alongside our Board of Trustees ensuring the views of young people are central to our strategic planning and that young people are fully engaged in the governance and leadership of the Association. This year we have supported children and young people with the issues and challenges they have identified, including. emotional and mental health, rising cost of living, difficulties engaging with their peers, struggling in school, lack of spaces where they feel safe and not having access to positive role models. Our Peer Supporters (aged 11-16) and Young Volunteers {aged 16- 25) are involved in leading and developing provision, our voice and influence groups, engaging with research and influencing seNices in local, regional and national forums. Harri, our YMCA Youth Ambassador represents young people nationally and is helping to shape the support YMCA offers. Alex, a former Young Volijnteer and Youth Ambassador is now Vice Chair at YMCA Barnsley and a Trustee for YMCA England and Wales. 66 I found myself at a round table meeting last weekend with a minister who has youth as part of his portfolio. He said to me 'I understand what you're saying and I'm going to have to have a dlfflcult conversation wlth the Treasury.. I never thought I could have an impact like thatl Alex Trustee 99

Building confidence and self-esteem Sarah attends our Juniors Youth Club session, which runs weekly in term time. She started attending luniors because her parents made the decision to take her out of school due to some issues with bullying. However, they understood that it Was Still vital for her to be able to socialise with other young people. 66 We started bringing Sarah to Juniors because we made the decision to take her out of school, but we still knew she still needed to interact with other kids, which she can do at Juniors. We know how important it is that she still socialises with other young people. Sarah"s Parents Providing a safe space By ensuring that Sarah has a space to talk to staff and socialise with peers, we have seen a huge improvement. Sarah now knows if she is having a bad day that our staff understand, and that we will support her. 99 Recently, a new young person began attending Juniors and was evidently nervous about meeting people. Sarah did not hesitate in asking this young person to play a game of connect four, maintaining conversation throughout. As a result, this young person almost immediately began engaging with other young people too, showing that Sarah has not only developed in herself, but she is also able to act as a role model and peer support to other young people. Looking to the future In the future, there will be even more opportunities for Sarah to assume leadership roles if she wishes to do so, and staff will continue to build her sense of belonging within the group.
Developing emotional resilience Paul lives with his grandparents and is a quiet, shy young man who often struggles at school. This has led to numerous interventions from school and other services including YMCA to support him to reach his potential. He initially started attending on session with YMCA but now regularly attends a range of projects including our TYI Monday, Unity youth clubs and holiday provision and has built positive relationships with his youth workers who regularly 'check in, on him, making time and space for him to talk and 'offload'. Building resilience Since meeting him two years ago the youth worker5 have helped Paul to build his emotional resilience, confidence and relational skills. Encouraging and supporting him to play different games Wlth other5 in Small groups i.e. pool and table tennis, to practice joining in on conversations as well as building relationships with his fellow peers. Over his time at the Youth clubs, he has made some c105e friends and they now regularly sit together to play games, his confidence has grown and he has recognised that he feels more able to talk to others and join in with group activities. 66 Paul is a privilege to work with as he's a lovely caring character with a lot of knowledge and a can-do attitude. YMCA Barnsley Youth Workers Paul has clearly benefited from having access to a welcoming space where he feels safe and valued where he can be with other young people who whom he has shared experiences and where there are opportunities for personal development and building social networks. 99
Improving interpersonal skills Sam is ten and has regularly attended one of our After School Clubs {ASC) from September 2023. Sam explained to the youth workers that he decided to come to the ASC because of his friend who attended last year, who told him how much fun they had which prompted Sam to try the ASC. 66 I like to come to the YMCA after school club because we do lots after different activities and each weeK we do something different making it exciting plus I get to stay with my friends. The activities I like was decorating biscuits and this (Christmas stuff) I also liked the games with the parachute because they were fun. Sam At the start of the year Sam struggled with his confidence in the group. He would often be loud within the group whilst the rest of the group were working on the activity. Over time the youth workers noticed that Sam would often be disruptive to mask that he did not understand what the task was. The youth workers worked I: I with him using a range of learning styles ensuring that he fully understood the activity. 99 Stepping out of the comfort zone By attending YMCA after school club, Sam has been provided a safe, supportive yet challenging environment to help develop his social skills and build his confidence. Looking to the future Our youth workers will continue to give the support Sam needs in the session. He often questions the good standard of the work he produces weekly so staff continue to encourage his belief in himself as well as monitor his engagement with the other young people in the group.
Encouraging participation Alex is eight years old and regularly attends our 'Little Y. session. He had previously attended our Parent and Toddler group where he was able to get to know Kelly who is a staff member for both groups, so he felt confident and comfortable transitioning into little Y's on his own. His older sibling also attended Little Y and mum sees YMCA as a safe place for her children to come, have fun and meet other children. Alex was initially very quiet and shy and chose to do his own thingi over time with support from the youth workers, he became more bubbly and confident joining in the activities and doing what the other young people were doing. He is an active member of the group and has developed his confidence and skills and enjoys taking on new responsibilities. Worklng wlth others Alex is now a confident and happy group member who is clearly very comfortable in the building with staff and other children. He is now able to consistently make positive behavior choices, joins in without additional support and is independent in many of the games and activities. Alex is looking forward to transitioning to our older youth group, 'Juniors' when he is old enough. As one of the oldest members in 'Little Y, he has been given the opportunity to and is being supported to be a 'Little Y Peer Mentor,. 66 I like YMCA Barnsley because I like doing all of the different crafts and playing football with my friends from my old school. Alex 99
Nurturing role models Jill has been known to our team for three years and we have witnessed her transition from school to college and now into the world of work. Jill left school with few qualifications and reported that she couldn't wait to leave. She progressed to college and on 'checking in, with her frequently it appeared that her college experience was almost mirroring that of her school. 66 Jill has lots to offer, it is a privilege being witness to her journey into adulthood, and it is our considered opinion that Jill, sometime down the road, would make a blooming good youth worker. YMCA Youth Worker Whilst Jill was still attending college, she would still seek us out in the park and spend at least a few minutes with us as we engaged in activities with younger ones. Jill would often share her experiences of school and reflect on her learning and challenges she faced, she would offer 'advice', once saying to a small group of younger girls 'don't end up like me, I messed about a lot and now I'm on a college course I don't want to do but it's my only optionl, 99 .*t Maintaning relationships Jill was unaware of her potential influence over some younger girls and that they held her in high regard and looked up to her. She discussed how as an older young woman she felt a certain responsibility towards her younger peers stating on one occasion 'I don't even vape in front of them now,. In recent months, Jill left college and started full time work. Our team keep in touch as she often walks through the park from one job to the next and if she has time, she stops to chat. I,
A warm and welcoming environment At 'Y stay In, (YSI) Youth Club, established group members are encouraged and supported to take on more responsibility, in particular when welcoming new members. Young people often step up, without realising the value of their acts of friendship. New members can be quiet and a little nervous, one reported that she nearly didn't step out of mum's car on her first visit. She did, and now she has a whole new bunch of friends. Jen is a new member to YSI. She is known to staff as she has also attended one of our detached sessions. Her attendance on the streets was sporadic as she lives in town centre, though her friends are from Dodworth. As nights drew in, as Jen didn't feel confident enough to use public transport to access the detached session, she was encouraged to access YSI which is walking distance from home. Her friends also expressed an interest in YSI and they have all become regular members of YSI and their contribution has had a p051tive impact on the broader membership. 15h.Q We'ie thrilled to share the incredible work YMCA BarThey has been doing to empo¥¥er youry people viith e55ential life skill5.

Adapting the support network for new members With support from the youth workers the group regularly reflect on how they can adjust, {often on the spot) to ensure YSI remains inclusive and accessible. Jen has some social anxieties and often presents a different energy and traits associated with some of challenges she experiences. Whilst Jen continues to 'unfold' the group are supportive and respond to her needs and if she feels uncomfortable, she can take herself away from the group and sit quietly alone for a while until she feels able to reconnect with staff or her peers. Looking to the future The groups plans include training and development opportunities for both youth workers and the youth group to continue to build on existing knowledge and understanding about neuro diversity.
Inspired by the great outdoors We were were fortunate to receive funding from The Trans Pennine Trail ITPTI - Know Your Neighbourhood fund. To connect young people with their neighbourhood, the outdoors, explore heritage, broaden networks, and promote use of the TPT. 66 I was asked to stand up in assembly at school with a microphone and talk to everyone about a school project I had been involved with. I told the teacher I didn't want to do it as I didn't feel confident enough. I think I could do it now.
