Dear all, It is a real privilege to be writing this foreword to you in what is our amazing 60th anniversary year and how times have changed! Grandparents reading this will remember the local youth clubs of bygone days. Meeting friends, drinking pop, listening to music, playing ping pong and just having fun together was the highlight of the week. Supporting Young People in this century has changed significantly and for the better. Our name explains this: Brandon and Carrside Youth and Community Project (BCYCP)!
Looking through our Annual Report you can see how all members of our community in Brandon & Byshottles Parish benefit from a wide range of sessions and how we are able to bring families in as well as offering support to help our local community.
This year has been no exception to see the incredible opportunities offered to our fantastic Young People. What is so impressive is how most of these initiatives come from the groups themselves. Recently, for example, they have wanted to help Year 6 pupils feel confident to move up to the ‘big school’ with projects underway to also support them with necessary equipment they will need to take. This is so heartwarming to see older students wanting to help those who are younger.
What I particularly love is when we have former members of BCYCP, young Mums or older Young People who are now reaching the age when they can and want to give something back to our fabulous Community Project. You know who you are and we admire you so much! Thank you for being such stars!
As ever, a stunning Annual Report and well done to all our incredible staff and Young People. Here’s to our next decades! Enjoy looking at the pictures of the great activities of our Young People and the fun they have! Well done to all
Jill Rodgers (Chairperson of BCYCP)

January – April 2023
Our young people returned to sessions in January, after the Christmas break. It was Blue Monday, but The Samaritans reframe that as Brew Monday encouraging people to have a ‘cuppa’ and connect with each other. Closely followed by celebrating Chinese New Year by making origami rabbits and cooking traditional Chinese meals. We then went onto Veganuary, Children’s Mental Health week and Time to Talk day, looking at mood boosting foods and self-care toolkits. We used the resource kindly loaned to us by Lesley Baxter Co-op Member Pioneer for Brandon and Ushaw Moor which had prompt cards for the young people to use to connect and find out new things about each other.
All groups engaged in sessions provided by learning in a New Way CIC looking at mental health. They had hands on sessions exploring neurographic art which is a calming and grounding technique, and then did some Yoga. They then completed activities around positive self- talk and changing the perception of themselves, managing their emotions and relaxation techniques.
It was International Women’s Day, 8[th] March, and all young people were shown a video which related to the theme of embrace equity. We explored themes of equity and discussed the purpose of International Woman’s Day.
In Brandon we were enjoying lots of team challenges and games, with simple cooking and crafts as the session is so busy. New Brancepeth, Esh Winning and Ushaw Moor all completed cooking projects looking at the cost of food and budgeting, what makes a healthy meal and healthy meal planning and cooking.
We were very lucky to be contacted by Durham University just before Christmas, whose photography society wanted to deliver two sessions to our young people as a taster on the subject. Twelve young people took part and received two very informative presentations from the students as well as getting hands on with the equipment and doing photo shoots inside the youth club and outside in the dark.
The young people learnt about movement, lighting, and how certain images represent different things, the students received great feedback from the young people which they were very happy with.
During the weekly sessions for all Youth Clubs, we have covered a wide variety of topics starting with Neurodiversity Celebration Week back in March where young people were informed about different conditions such as Dyslexia, Tourette’s, Dyscalculia and ADHD and how the conditions affect people.
New Brancepeth have been planning a woodwork project where they plan to design and build bird boxes using a variety of tools and learn about health and safety. They plan to be put a;ae || 3 \ ee up in New Brancepeth Village Hall Garden.
.
As the sun started to rear its shiny head, we started to make use of our gorgeous garden. We planted pumpkin, carrots, broccoli, sweetcorn and beetroot before enjoying garden games and toasting marshmallows on the fire pit.
Esh Winning enjoyed some Hama bead craft, planning for the next few weeks and some lovely food that a mystery person left for them, so thank you very much if that was you.
Following our young people wanting to improve the building through physical renovations last year, they got to decorating it. The group made the decision to add informative displays around mental health and Pride.
June also sadly saw the departure of Kelsey as she set off on her adventure to Summer Camp in America… but don’t worry she makes her return!
The bird making boxes project over in New Brancepeth was complete. They did a really good job making plans, measuring correctly, learnt how to use tools safely and now have lovely bird boxes for their gardens at home.
We had a Pride session as June is Pride month. Young people made rainbow cakes as it was also National cupcake day. They had the opportunity to create some artwork to enter NE Youth Pride art competition.We are incredibly proud of Natalie, From Ushaw Moor, who came second with her art work.
We had a LGBTQI+ flag and terminology quiz. This gave young people the opportunity to have any conversations and ask questions to expand their knowledge.
To recap the months that have past young people wanted to display their memories in the youth club. We created “you said, we did” boards which highlighted what young people wanted to do at the beginning of the year and photos of them enjoying the activities throughout the year.
Ushaw Moor planned weekly sessions which they were going to run to their peers. Emily delivered a sight and deaf awareness session. This included blind tasting, navigating obstacles and lip reading. Emily also taught us some basic sign language.
Well done Emily an amazing session!
July was alcohol awareness week. We made mocktail across the sessions, matched up foods to alcohol with the same number of calories, Ushaw Moor got the most right. We tried 5 {¢: si ld toe: bo out the beer goggles, doing make shift obstacle courses and playing Mario Kart , w a ; e = —— v
We have had another hugely successful Summer Programme, which ran for the first 4 weeks of the school holidays.
50 young took part in our various clubs and offsite visits from across the Parish.
Monday’s were Youth Club drop in days –
Young people took part in a variety of activities over the course of the afternoons.
These included handling and learning about different animals, from Animals Stories, such as lizards, tarantulas, gecko’s and snakes.
The lady from Animal Story was very impressed with the young people and said “Brilliant participation in the sessions, best sessions of the holidays so far” Every week the young people cooked their own lunch developing independence skills making quesadillas, pinwheel wraps, and pizzas. There were physical activities on offer to get the young people moving with a disco bouncy castle one week, team’s games and creative activities on offer. Young people all made a key rack using the workshop, bath bombs and enjoyed tye dying. We finished off with a water fight followed by hot chocolates!!
Wednesday daytimes and Friday evenings were activity sessions. We provided a diverse range of activities mainly physical ones with a couple of chilled out activities.
Week one
Young People enjoyed trips to The Arcade Warehouse and Sunderland Aquatic Centre to complete their inflatable obstacle course. Week two
A very wet trip to South Shields Surf School but it didn’t dampen our spirits, however the waves were great and the young people really enjoyed this activity. On the Friday night we had a firm favourite of Ice Skating at Billingham Forum. Week three
Week three was very exciting when we went to Newcastle to visit our Shaun the Sheep sculpture at Newcastle City Library, the staff were lovely moving the sculpture so we could get a good photo and it was great to see all the young people’s hard work and others enjoying the sheep. On the Friday night we tried a new venue The Bounce House, this was a great place to go the only way to describe the young people afterwards was sweaty and shattered. They all loved the inflatable’s and having the place to themselves.
Week Four
We went to Yorkshire Wildlife Park we saw lots of different animals with polar bears being a particular highlight, some young people had the chance to chat with park staff about the animals and ask questions.
The final activities of the programme were separate trips for the girls and boys. The lads enjoyed a trip to The Newcastle United Football Foundation and took part in an afternoon of activities which included virtual Dodgeball which was a definite hit. The girls went to an event hosted by NE Youth at the land of Oak and Iron. There was lots of pamper activities on offer being things the girls hadn’t tried before, such as perfume making and a pottery wheel which was everyone’s favourite on the night.
The Summer was the end of an Era, as we saw the departure of our muchloved Rachael. We started back Monday 4th September at Brandon. The first week flew over. We saw lots of new faces as well as our seasoned youth club attenders. Everyone mixed really well. In an attempt to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly we decided on decorating canvas bags and creating sensory glitter bottles at each youth club which was the perfect calm environment to get to know our new starters.
The following week wasn’t too calm or quiet. RATHER THE OPPOSITE. With a whopping 30 young people in Brandon the following Monday doing a range of challenges using different senses at each station.
We played several games of pool, Mario Kart on the switch, hangman, and football.
The fun was non-stop and lots of laughter and happy faces were to be seen.
We held Vape Awareness sessions across all clubs following the raise in underage vaping across the country. With relationship sessions looking at safe and appropriate boundaries, also encouraging our young people to stay safe.
Our young people were offered the opportunity to take part in the Lumiere 2023. The group took part in creating a piece of artwork, Chandeliers from recycled milk bottles to be displayed as a part of the show.
Food always goes down a treat! We perfected cornflake cakes, chocolate dipped apples, flapjacks, brownies and spaghetti bolognaise.
We celebrated Halloween throughout the sessions with apple bobbing, painting pumpkins and making slime.
November saw the
introduction of our single sex sessions which aim to cover gender specific topics. As well as Children in Need baking.
We were lucky enough to be offered De-fibulator training delivered by our PCSO and Tom from the Welfare Hall who brought all of he needed
We had one in house session at Brandon with thirty young people attending from all the villages.
The theme was Feeling Fab in February, so we wanted some feel-good activities for the young people. Everyone got the opportunity to cook their own pancake, taco with healthy toppings, and work on key life skills. They engaged in self-care and enjoyed burning off energy on the bouncy castle and mini golf tournament.
We also took 44 young people on an offsite visit to Holmside Park, which is a 50-acre adventure park with over 20 activities all encouraging the young people to get moving, stay active partaking with an Inflatable obstacle course, archery, roller skating, inflatable football and soft play.
The weather was kind to us, so the group were able to utilise the outdoor area with go karts, outdoor adventure play and bouncing pillows.
The first session was an in house session, with young people taking part in a chocolate workshop thanks to and everyone loved it.
We then visited Moor House Outdoor Centre. We tried axe throwing, campfire cooking and frisbee golf.
Our second trip, in the morning we went to Safety Works in Newcastle which is an interactive centre where young people are educated about things such as fire safety, water safety, travel and transport safety.
In the afternoon we burned off some energy at Jump 360 where everyone had great fun.
In May half term we took part in Durham Pride. We marched the parade with our home-made banner and took part in the festivities.
In October we visited Scream Factory! How did everyone sleep after that? Nothing like being blind folded, unable to see for fog, vacuumed packed, jump scared, pinned into a corner and chased with a chainsaw to get the adrenaline pumping!!
So many of our young people pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, whilst braving their fears, with the ultimate support from their friends.
Whilst at Beamish, Ryan’s group had a brilliant photo shoot! Ryan skidded through the mud before we even got in. Kelsey took the braver ones to the Manor House were Eva was struck down with fear, literally taking Emily down with her… by her hair! Whilst Beth’s group spent time wandering the town, eating chips and playing games in the community hall for sweets.
All In all, a good night - a late one, but a good one nonetheless.
In the months from January to April the young people did various projects which added to our community benefit. During Valentines and Random Acts of Kindness Week, young people made random acts of kindness bags consisting of a tea or coffee bag and some biscuits. These were then distributed to places that the young people thought were deserving of an act of kindness such as Durham Hospital A&E department, Deerness Kennels, Brandon Co-op, local schools, other local groups and to care homes for the staff.
We participated in ‘The Big Help Out’ as part of the coronation. Huge thanks to Coop, for the litter picking equipment and supporting the young people and staff in tidying up the local area.
We supported St John’s Church with their Coronation event with Abbie and Kelsey attending to do the face painting and crafts.
Addison Park Fun Day was held in August where Beth and Abbie attended to do rock painting.
We held a Macmillan coffee morning in September in Brandon raising £242. This coffee morning was planned and ran by our young people who continue to deliver and work hard. Their aim was to raise enough money to pay for a nurse for one day- they exceeded that amount!

OCTOBER 2023- Our annual Halloween parties went off without a
glitch. We had the amazing Wednesday, Captain Hook, and Jack
and Sally come to party with us. We had Brandon reaching record
numbers closely followed by New Brancepeth and Esh Winning.
We love putting on these events for the community to enjoy. Our
staff couldn’t have done it without our amazing young people
coming to volunteer- in full costume. Events don’t run without our
volunteers and they make us very proud. All guests were offered
snacks, a drink, plus a party bag made up by our young people.
Our very own artist, Kelsey, painted Brandon window in true
Halloween Spirit.
We paid our respects in November for those we have lost by
laying wreaths at the cenotaph in Brandon Village.
GETTING INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!
Across all the youth clubs the young people made Christmas
decorations and took part in projects which will be displayed in
Brandon year upon year. Kelsey decorated Brandon’s window with
Bad Santa. We held our annual Christmas Parties in Brandon, New ™~
Brancepeth and Esh Winning. Many of our young people volunteer
at these parties and we couldn’t do it without them! So, thank you
very much!
----- End of picture text -----
We have completed yet another Year 6, wellbeing project for 2023. We visited Esh Winning Primary, Brandon Primary school and Silvertree Primary school. We started this programme three years ago!!
The young people took part in activities in lessons in school, with youth club staff and then at home, via the at home pack they were given every week. The topics covered were friendships, bullying, anxiety and worries and healthy eating.
At times discussions went off on a tangent into areas such as advertising and marketing, social media, influencers and cost of living and it was a pleasure to explore these subjects with them and hear their opinions.
We were invited By Durham Association of Boys and Girls Club’s to represent them, alongside Oxhill Youth Club at The Lord Lieutenants celebration of Youth Service’s at Durham Cathedral on 5th March 2023.
The Brandon and Byshottles Parish Council held their own awards in March 2023 and we were very grateful to be recognized with an award. We are very grateful to the Parish for their ongoing support.
We had a fabulous night at High Sheriff’s Awards. We received £1000 funding, alongside the award. It was brilliant to see so much positive work taking place in the County.
After the event, our donation was doubled by the Sir Tom Cowie Foundation who came out for a visit.
In June, The Spicy Pumpkins were nominated at Awards for their community Trick or Treat event from last Halloween. The competition was very strong and unfortunately the group didn’t win but they were very pleased to be short listed and that in itself is an achievement. Well Done again to the girls!
We were invited to the Durham’s Association for Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs (DABGC) awards night, whereby our own committee members, Jill Rodgers and John Turnbull received honorable awards.
We were also lucky enough to be nominated in three categories at the Projects with
Group Work
We finally revealed our finished Shaun, the Sheep on the Tyne statue. We have renamed him ‘Coal, the Colourful and Creative’. Our sculpture was inspired by our project, past art pieces and our community heritage. All youth club members created designs using inspiration and messages they thought ‘our Shaun’ should represent.
Our core design group, then picked out common themes, which were colour, art, community heritage, and rainbows. We arrived at the final design of Shaun wearing a miner’s helmet to show our villages’ heritage, with a paint splattered body for colour to represent our creative side, and the legs incorporating our favourite past art designs.
We initiated our sports group. That took on a focus of dodgeball, and basketball. Each session finished with a healthy snack, such as bagels, ham and cheese pinwheels or fruit. In August, we attended ‘The Kicks Active Games’, which was a skills tournament, organised by Sunderland’s Foundation of Light.
Our Area Planning Committee enjoyed a team building day at Weardale Activity Centre thanks to DABGC in June. The young people had a great time, they worked together as a team supporting each other, and challenging each other on the activities. They also took part in “Challenage Northumberland’s Clarty Bairns”
Renovations
Our topic group worked incredibly hard over the months between June and August, transforming the beauty room at Brandon, which was due a makeover. To launch we held a wellbeing event as the grand reveal.
This was pitched as part of the NE Youth Inspire program and we were gratefully awarded £800 to put their plans into action.
We got started on stripping wallpaper, cleaning, painting and building furniture for the beauty room.
The group led by designing, budgeting, promoting and ran activities at the event.
The room is named “The Joan Storey Beauty Room” in memory of our previous treasurer Joan, who sadly passed away during Covid 2020.
The group registered their hours with the V Inspired program. A huge well done to you all - it truly is a sanctuary in the Jel beauty room.
