CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Mr. President, Trustees, Staff members, Volunteers and all supporters of DYA

It is my pleasure to present the Chairman’s report for the year.

This is my first report as Chairman and I would like to thank Mike, Lindsey & Debbie and the trustees for their support provided over the last 12 months.

The team have been navigating very different waters over the last year and their knowledge, professionalism and hard work have enabled us to maintain our fantastic support to so many in Dorset. We are very clear that this period has seen many fantastic and worthwhile charities sadly close and while this challenging economic environment has been in the forefront of our minds, the decisions and adaptations taken by DYA have afforded us with a strong future. It is our job to provide services that are deemed fit for funding but that also deliver, and most importantly relevant to the community we support.

Change was raised in the last chairman’s report, and this has not slowed. The restructure of DYA following the loss of the Family Link Worker contract has in some ways forced a change in focus – this is part of organisational transformation which occurs particularly after a long periods in contracts.

In the coming year DYA will be launching new youth services with additional new team members that will provide support and very important guidance to those who need it most. These links naturally come with new challenges as new partners require clear and definable results, our CEO and the team understand this and look forward to this change and opportunity.

Our Trustees give freely of their time and expertise. I want to express gratitude to those who have left us, stayed with us and a welcome to our newcomers Dale Hartley, Nola Smith and Patricia Price. We are again humbled by the support we get from professionals providing such valuable knowledge and experience.

Thank you again for your continued support and please do pass on the report, passion, and encouragement to everyone you know so they can benefit from the services and support provided by Dorset Youth.

Tom Amery-Mathews Chairman

CASE STUDIES

Club A contacted us as they had recently opened again, there had been a change of trustees and committee and asked DYA for guidance on governance, policies, and procedures. They were supported through some online meetings, 2 face-to-face visits and guidance from our finance manager. They also had some staffing issues that they contacted us for advice on this. We are providing on-going support for this club. This has created a safe environment for young people. Staff and trustees have gained further knowledge on running a youth provision. Club A have said “They appreciate the support you have given us, especially helping us get the club back up and running”.

Club B have been a member with DYA for many years and are a well established Youth club. Over the last year they have contacted us and asked for guidance on staffing issues and requested some supervision with us for a couple of their senior staff members. We have also given their Trustees advice and guidance on how best to support their staff members. This support has been given by several online meetings and we have also visited the senior members of staff and given two 1:1 supervisions. The supervision has allowed staff to be heard and express their concerns in a safe and professional environment.

BEING A VOICE FOR THE 0-25 SECTORFEEDBACK

We asked members what the 0-25 VCS Forum meant to them and their organisation and this is what they told us:

“It has been there to support, guide and help keep our organisation informed so we can offer a service that is valued and meets local need”

“A place and a space to come together to share best practice, share ideas, learn from each other and have the support which comes from being part of the VCS. Together, we become stronger, and we can access one another more readily and easily due to the relationships cultivated through the forum”.

“It is an excellent source of training, gaining very useful & practical knowledge, as well as gaining encouragement that there are other good quality youth workers and supporters in Dorset and that we have shared aims and values. This helps to build the resilience of the whole sector in very difficult times.”

“I have always found the DYA forum incredibly useful in terms of gaining knowledge and being supported by a network of peers. It makes me a better worker and makes the sector as a whole stronger. Thank you very much and keep up the great work”.

The new website is an effective 'one-stop-shop' for all kinds of information relating to young people and services to support them in Dorset

Your newsletter is the only one I open and read religiously! I find it extremely useful. Thank you for all you do with it.

UK YEAR OF SERVICE

A YEAR ON

A few quotes from some of the young people who were on the UK Year of Service programme and what they are up to now

”Over the UKYOS scheme I worked at Space Youth Project as the social media administrator and creator, a role I have continued part-time while at University. Having now spent a year at University and Graduated with a First Class Honours in BA Hons CGI, I am now going on to study Film Production as a Postgraduate Masters degree. The UKYOS scheme gave me my first real job in a field that I am passionate about and happy to work in. I gained an incredible amount of confidence in my social skills and networking abilities during my time in the scheme and have continued to build on those skills at University. I cannot thank the organisers and DYA enough for having me as part of UKYOS, I cannot express the amount of good that it did for me as a person in regards to my professional development, personal confidence and mental health. UKYOS was a really big stepping stone for me and a big turning point in my life, so thankyou!”

UK YEAR OF SERVICE D Y A | 13 A YEAR ON A few quotes from some of the young people who were on the UK Year of Service programme and what they are up to now

"UKYoS gave me a platform to grow from, DYA supported me in getting help for my mental health and helped me build my confidence in a new career route, it has expanded my network and my ambition! Since joining my two placements I have learnt a lot about myself, the charity sector and youth work. I am now capable of things that I didn't think I would be able to do. I now have a stable job at Island Community Action where I can practice these new found skills and confidence."

“UKYOS provided Young Bristol with the opportunity to not just employ, but to support two young people. Throughout their time with us on the UKYOS programme and through their individual professional development, both of them embraced the opportunities they had and thrived taking on new challenges and growing in confidence as they expanded their knowledge and skillsets. During the year, one member of our programme felt confident enough to move on to the next challenge in their professional development and ended up travelling to the south coast to work during the summer months in the outdoor industry gaining masses amounts of experience to which 6 months earlier, this person struggled to stand In front a small group of people to give a safety briefing. Our second UKYOS placement, saw the whole year through to which proved such a valuable member of our team, he is still employed with us full time one year later”.

Working in partnership with the charity #Willdoes the new support bus will enhance mental health and wellbeing services for hundreds of young people across Dorset.

On board, it provides a safe space to chat, with a room for confidential discussions as well as a bean bag area to relax in and a small kitchen to provide drinks and snacks. With LED coloured lighting and brightly furnished seating it’s intended to be a welcoming place where young people can meet up as well as get to speak to youth workers, counsellors and medical professionals.

Youth workers from the Drop-In Portland have had more than 250 interactions with young people on the bus, seeing them using the mobile facility as a safe place to socialise with friends over hot drinks and snacks as well as talk to the professionals when support is needed.

A Big Thank you! Dorset Youth would like to thank our volunteer bus drivers: Ian Puncher & Jason Newall. Without these volunteers we wouldn't be able to get the bus to youth clubs and events and support local young people and youth workers.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• Observe the methods and principles of The Charities SORP. State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charities transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of its constitution. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and

hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other Irregularities.
