Chairperson’s Report
This is my fifteenth annual report as Chair of the Trust. This year has been largely one of a return to near normality following the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic. This, despite some continuing restrictions on normal business with the surge in Omricon variant infections and associated self-isolation of our staff, partners and families receiving our services.
Nevertheless, we have still achieved much, including:
-
⁃ Continued delivery of the Young Carers Support Service and a delivery partner for Youth United Stockton
-
⁃ Continued funding from the Ballinger Charitable Trust towards core costs
-
⁃ Young Carers 21[st] Birthday (1[st] April 2021), press release including quote from the Director of Children’s Services & feature in the Council’s Stockton-on-Tees News
-
⁃ Making use of the Job Retention Scheme – several staff remained on furlough until September 2021
-
⁃ Successful £10k bid from the Masonic Charitable Foundation to extend young carers provision in communities
-
⁃ Caravan Holiday Home worth £45k donated from a former lottery winner to provide respite breaks and holidays to young carers and their families
-
⁃ Addressing holiday hunger and providing holiday enrichment commissioned by the Council and Roseworth Big Local Lottery Programme throughout the year and featuring in their success stories.
None of this continued success would have been possible without the continuing hard work and commitment of many people but not least our staff and volunteer Directors. On behalf of the vulnerable adults, children, young people and families who benefitted from all this, I offer an unreserved ‘Thank You’.

Trust Manager’s Report
April 2021 to March 2022 has certainly been a year to remember on a number of levels. Not only were we able to return to some regular activity following the covid-19 pandemic, the organisation also expanded its service delivery to isolated and disadvantaged children, young people and their families which has been incredible.
The first headline of the year was the return to our office base after working from home for 13 months. With covid secure measures in place, the young carers team and I were extremely happy to be back together and seeing each other regularly – safe distanced of course.
This year saw an outstanding milestone for the organisation – 21 years of supporting young carers in our Borough. The very first young carers group met on 1[st] April 2000 and although we couldn’t celebrate our 21[st] birthday as we’d have liked to, young carers enjoyed some small party themed activity days during the Easter holidays. The organisation received some lovely messages on social media from colleagues, friends and former service users alongside several video messages from TV celebrities including actors James Murray and Sarah Parish.
The caravan holiday home was a fitting donation in the young carers service’s 21[st] birthday year. Given to our organisation to provide young carers with respite breaks and holidays for their families, ‘Ravens Retreat’ has proven invaluable in its first few months of operation with some wonderful feedback.
Throughout the year, young carers support groups have continued to take place at Primrose Hill Community Centre (PHCC). Our thanks go to Paul Surtees and Julie Derbyshire from EPIC Teesside CIO for their continued support and providing us with a safe space for young carers to meet during term time and school holidays.
Our positive partnership with EPIC Teesside CIO led to us taking over the running of the youth club at PHCC on a Wednesday evening in this disadvantaged community.

The sessions have worked extremely well and provide a welcoming place to support children and young people’s personal and social development.
Our work in Roseworth has gone from strength to strength this year. We commenced a programme of detached youth work in May with the overall aim of ensuring young people’s voices are heard and the opportunity to be represented in Roseworth. We were also able to implement the long awaited after-school club in June thanks to Roseworth Big Local funding following a pilot in 2019/2020. It has been so good to see this club develop and thrive with attendance growing each week.
While we were back in our base, the opportunity to recommence our open access youth session via Youth United Stockton was still not possible. With the agreement of Stocktonon-Tees Borough Council, we re-located our session to Roseworth in November 2021. Providing open access youth sessions at both Primrose Hill and Roseworth is proving to be time and cost-effective. Both sessions have seen some good attendance and positive changes to young people’s lives.
One of the things we missed during the pandemic was the opportunity to network and meet with people so the opportunity to attend the Catalyst Conference was most definitely welcome. Not only did we see partner agencies who we haven’t seen for a while, we were also able to make new links with Thirteen Housing which resulted in one of our families moving to a new, more appropriate property. This new link with the social housing provider, led to us working with them on Young Carers Action Day in March 2022 to raise awareness of young carers and their families with their staff, more work is planned for the coming year.
It goes without saying, I am very proud of all our accomplishments this year. My sincere thanks go to our dedicated Board of Directors for their continued support and to the amazing team of staff who always go the extra mile for the children, young people and families we work with; we’ve all played a huge part in improving children, young people and family’s lives. I hope you enjoy reading the remainder of this annual report and gaining a greater understanding of our vital work here in Stockton-on-Tees.

Roseworth Community
We have continued to provide school holiday programmes which encompass enrichment activities, a healthy meal and snacks. The programmes are targeted at children and young people who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals, however, thanks to funding from Roseworth Big Local, we are also able to offer places to children and young people who are not in receipt of free school meals. Our programmes are for children and young people from age 5 and have continued to be delivered from the Elim Hope Centre in the community; the space enables children/young people to play safely indoors and outdoors.
We began this year in the middle of our Easter programme and mindful that some families were still fearful of covid-19, we offered an activity pack and lunch with 3 options:
-
Safe distanced face to face activities with limited numbers
-
Collection
-
Home delivery service.
We also offered the same options during May half term as covid was still having an impact in our communities. However, the summer holiday programme was a full return to normality and a great time was had by all. Children and young people took part in a range of centre based and off-site activities and it was brilliant to see everyone having such a good time. We also worked alongside a range of external providers to completely enhance the summer holiday programme which included Creative Village, Tees Active and Strictly Dance Fusion.
Over the summer 67 individual children and young people attended our provision which was delivered for 4 hours per day, 4 days per week for 4 weeks (4 x 4 x 4).

Feedback from children and young people included:
I learned Helping me to get Kind staff, how to play out and make creative bat & ball friends activities
In maintaining consistency, we ran the October (37 in attendance) and February half term (45 in attendance) programmes on the 4 x 4 x 4 model. We asked children and young people to sum up the February half term in one word…
The after-school club commenced in June of this year following a 10-week pilot with Little Sprouts Health and Wellbeing which took place in 2019/2020. Thanks to funding from Roseworth Big Local, the after-school club was due to continue from April to December 2020. However, the club was put on hold due to covid-19. Since June, the after-school club has offered a menu of activities at each session. Examples include:
-
Art & crafts
-
Den building (one member of staff is Forest School trained)
-
Dodge ball
-
Food tasting
-
Football
7
We have encouraged children and young people to ‘take the lead’ and let us know what they would like to do at each session. As such, children and young people have obtained a sense of ownership of their club.
The initial proposal to continue the after-school club, identified the following achievements for children/young people:
-
Develop their learning through play
-
Experience new opportunities
-
Learn new skills
-
Increase confidence/self-esteem
-
Increase participation in physical activity
The staff team report improvements in conduct and behaviour, manners – saying please and thank you, listening skills, social skills, friendships and confidence. Examples are detailed in the following case study:
Charlotte* is a 13-year-old girl who lives with her younger and older siblings in the care of grandmother. Charlotte’s younger sibling is very sociable and friendly, her elder sibling has Asperger’s syndrome and does not leave the house. Charlotte started coming to the after-school club with her younger sister, she had zero confidence, would not make conversation and would not engage with anyone or anything when she came along. Over the coming months, Charlotte engaged in activities in very small steps at each session. The small steps eventually led to a girl who now helps others, is confident and she has developed some positive friendships at the after-school club.

Young Carers Support Service
This service provides support to children, young people and their families in our Borough where a child/young person is identified as a young carer. Young carers are children and young people aged 5 to 18 years who provide physical care, emotional care and/or practical support to a family member that is affected by ill health, disability, mental health illness and/or substance misuse. Young carers undertake physical and emotional tasks which are often inappropriate and excessive for their age. This can include cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry and sitting with the person they care for. As such, young carers are often bullied because they are different, have poor physical and mental health and miss out on the many life chances experienced by their peers. This year, we received 166 new referrals and supported over 300 young carers. Due to covid-19 restrictions, certain elements of the service were delivered slightly differently.
Access to support is via the service’s referral form or an involvement form from the local authority. Referrers include children’s/adult’s social workers, voluntary sector organisations, family support workers and teachers. Parents/guardians/family members can also make a self-referral.
Key Worker Role
When a referral is received, it is allocated to a Key Worker at our weekly allocation meeting. The only exception to this is where a young carer is identified as being at crisis point and the referral is allocated within 24 hours. Before contacting a family to arrange a young carers and whole family assessment, Key Workers make contact with the referrer to gain further information if required and review any risks. Under normal circumstances, assessments are completed in the family home. However, as covid-19 is still having an impact and many families are extremely vulnerable, the majority of assessments were completed over the phone or in schools. As the weather got a little warmer, we were able to sit in families’ gardens to complete the assessments where it was appropriate. After completing both assessments, Key Workers are able to establish the unmet needs which are placing a child/young person in a caring role and identify a plan of support which is tailored and bespoke to the young carer and their family’s needs. Often this involves signposting and referrals to external agencies and includes:
-
Adult Social Care
-
Children’s Hub
-
Stockton Parent Carer Forum
-
Autism Parents Together
-
Citizens Advice Bureau
-
Talking Therapies
9
Whole Family Support
The service is commissioned to include a whole family approach. As such, we support the cared for and family members within the household. Again, support is tailored & bespoke as we understand no two families are the same. Key Workers follow up on signposts, referrals, encourage parents/family members to engage with other services, offer a listening ear and often handhold when physical or mental health prevents them from accessing other services. Many families are still feeling the effects of the pandemic and lockdowns. We have seen an increase in anxiety and depression and the need for more one-to-one support for parents/guardians this year.
Young Carers Support
During the year we have provided fortnightly, centre based, evening drop-in sessions during term time for the 4 age-appropriate groups. Young carers (and staff) have played games, undertaken teambuilding & confidence building activities and learned new skills e.g. healthy eating & cooking. Lots of activities had to be ran slightly differently due to social distancing but we still managed to have lots of fun. Many young carers do not require group activities, instead they receive one to one support or regular texts and telephone calls which works for them, knowing they are supported and someone is there for them.
Following the donation last year of laptops and tablets, we amended our assessment paperwork to proactively ask if a young carer has access to I.T. equipment. We continued to loan laptops and tablets to assist young carers to complete their homework and socialise online throughout the year.
On our 21[st] birthday young carers arrived for the session and wondered who the 21[st] birthday balloons were for. We arranged a treasure hunt for letters which spelt out Happy
Birthday Young Carers. Many were amazed and also proud to be a part of something which has been running for so long. We also had cupcakes with Eastern Ravens & 21 on them, yummy!!
School Holiday Programmes
During Easter, we had lots of centre-based activity days (while socially distancing) with lunch provided. Young carers particularly enjoyed making their own fruit kebabs.
During May half term, 17 young carers were able to attend a 3-day residential to Peat Rigg Outdoor Centre courtesy of the Cohen Fund. This was the first residential since the pandemic and it was brilliant to get back to some outdoor activities. Young carers took part in canoeing, high ropes, low ropes,
zip line, night line and orienteering. For many young carers, they were experiencing
these activities for the very first time in their lives. The staff team carried out some workshops during the 3 days to obtain young carers voices and opinions in the run up to Carers Week. The young people were incredibly open and their responses to the workshops were very thought provoking and honest.
The school summer holidays were spent located at our new caravan and surrounding area each day. We were blessed with great weather and spent days at the beach, exploring rock pools, catching various sea life including crabs and starfish; we were also lucky enough to see several pods of dolphins. When the tide was in, we enjoyed wave jumping and once had a visit from a friendly seal. There has been something to suit all ages with sandcastle building, playing in the park, outdoor games and collecting shells. We made & ate lunch at the caravan each day. Even the minibus was fun with lots of chatter & some dubious singing!

During October half term, the two younger groups enjoyed Go Climb and the older groups ice skating at Billingham Forum. The groups
went back to the centre
for lunch followed by an
afternoon of activities
including Halloween bingo, cookie decorating and marshmallow eyeballs. All groups went to Holey Molies, during February half term and enjoyed a game of indoor crazy golf on the world’s longest indoor course with lunch afterwards.
At Christmas, each group was invited to a meal at a restaurant in Norton. Each session was well attended and young carers had a lovely time. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, all groups got creative with Christmas crafts, making cards, door hangers, magnets, keyrings and gift bags with a few games of bingo to win some little treats.
Thanks to our colleagues at Adult Social Care, we received 10 VIP tickets to attend the opening of Stockton Globe and the McFly concert. Eight young carers aged 14+ were invited and they all had an amazing evening. Several of the young people had never been to a concert before so it was great to see their faces as they took in the atmosphere.
Donations
Once again, we have received some amazing donations from partner agencies, local businesses and the public to help and support young carers and families. Donors this year include:
-
Sprouts Community Food Charity
-
Sainsbury’s, Yarm
-
Lisa Evans – Cabinet Member for Children and Young People
-
Susan Targar - Tesco Community Champion
-
Boots High Street Store

Improving Identification
Understandably, we have not been able to engage face to face with many agencies due to covid-19 restrictions. We have continued to attend online events and use social media to raise awareness of young carers where possible and also used this medium to highlight other initiatives/resources which may be relevant to
young carers and their families or external agencies. Alongside the work on Young Carers Action Day with Thirteen Housing, the service also created a poster which was shared with all schools in our Borough, over 300 professionals from external agencies and on social media. The theme of the day was ‘Taking Action on Isolation’ which highlighted how young carers can be isolated and miss out on activities and opportunities that their peers enjoy, especially after the pandemic. A number of schools and agencies shared, retweeted and commented on our social media posts.
Similarly, educational settings were also being careful and we weren’t able to deliver any workshops until the back end of the year. As restrictions eased, schools began to allow Key Worker’s in to undertake assessments on a one-to-one basis. Despite the pandemic, we have continued to receive referrals and remained in regular contact with educational settings in supporting young carers and their families. Examples include:
-
Raising awareness with a new teacher who was unaware of the service
-
Requesting some one-to-one time for a young carer with their teacher
-
Making school aware that a young carer is not able to access online sessions
-
Informing school that a young carer is being bullied
-
Brokering access to school counselling services.
In raising the profile of young carers to improve identification, we have given a presentation at the online Stockton-on-Tees Governors meeting; delivered a team training session to 15 staff at Egglescliffe Primary School; took part in ‘Bridging the Gap’ online forum with school head teachers/senior leaders from the Tees Valley/North Yorkshire and met with a member of staff from Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy who was made aware of the service by a pupil who is a young carer. The school are keen to work towards the Young Carers in School Award.
