YOUTH INSPIRED We see you. We hear you. We've got you.
ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025
Youth Inspired
Scottish Charity Number: SC046578
Acorn House
Mossedge Village
Youth Inspired is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO46578) and we have a governing constitution.
We have a Board of Trustees who are professionals in the health and care sector. They contribute to the vision and aims of the charity, giving their time and expertise regularly to the Y! Director.
Louise Dempsey: Service Director and Lead Psychotherapist
Emma Johnstone: Counsellor
Kayleigh McLaughlan: Family & YP Practitioner
Aimee Wilson: Youth Lead Practitioner
Skye MacDonald: Youth Practitioner
| have been a part of the YI concept since its inception 10 years ago and have served as a Trustee since it was constituted 9 years ago. It has been my pleasure to sit as Chair of the Board, and be a contributing part of this growing, dynamic, progressive mental health, youth and family organisation.
The commitment the organisation shows to families, children and young people is commendable, and | would like to thank the team for their hard work. From therapeutic one to one’s for those who are in crisis, to providing children and young people with a safe place to be, connect and grow, their dedication and professionalism is noted and appreciated by everyone who reaches in.
As a small organisation, we have come to learn that the team often move on to pastures new, where larger organisations appear more appealing. This along with funding, are the two most difficult challenges the organisation faces, albeit they are common across the third sector. | would like to thank Louise for her steadfast determination and commitment to YI, and for providing the team with a professional, visionary leader. She continues to cultivate partnerships with funders and organisations across Renfrewshire including Kibble, Renfrewshire Council, Corra Foundation, The National Lottery Young Start, The Robertson Trust and The Scottish Government and we look forward to meeting new opportunities and partners through 2026.
At the end of this financial year, we have come to the end of multi-year funding from three funders who support our charitable endeavours. This is of course far from ideal, but we know the value, worth and impact the Yl Hub and Team have upon the lives of the families, children and young people and we are certain that our current and future partners will see this too.
You will notice that we have changed our name. Everything that we do here is driven directly by the needs of the children and young people we support, and when it was pointed out to us that Youth Inspired was a much better name, we listened. We asked everyone of our children and young people to vote on the name change, and
Youth Inspired was a clear winner. We are delighted to evolve as Youth Inspired, as
it is a true reflection of our work.
We look forward to the year ahead, showing the same commitment to children, young people and families as we always have.
Chair
| have managed and developed the YI organisation and team for ten years and it is an honour to watch our work and the children and young people we support grow. This year, like every year has been fast, exciting, sad, joyful, challenging and rewarding. The rewards far outweigh the challenges, but the work requires considerable effort and consistent commitment. | am glad to report that the YI team continue to show up and deliver, showing professional competence and creativity. From August 2024 our projects and community events have flourished, and we have a steady/consistent footfall or around 45-55 clients per week.
Our Projects
We continue to partner with The Scottish Government and Kibble on our Equally Safe: Non Violence Against Women and Girls project. We have delivered workshops in schools and to other professionals, and our group of young people come together weekly to challenge violence against women and girls. This year, as they do every year, they designed their own banner and marched at Renfrewshire’s Reclaim the Night. This project ends in 2026, but we will always remain committed to raising awareness and supporting girls and young women who have been affected by violence at the hands of men and boys.
We take a whole families approach to Our Young Persons Recovery project, offering 1:1’s for individual family members, a youth space for children, and therapeutic recovery coaching. We are proud to be a recognised partner in Renfrewshire and participate in many working groups including Prevention and Education, Lived Experience and the Recovery Providers Forum. We spoke at 2024 Overdose Awareness Day, and a collective of the children and young people showed their support at the Scottish Recovery Walk. Data demonstrates that our holistic approach, combining emotional/mental health interventions with psychoeducation on drug and alcohol harms, provides good outcomes for young people, with all improving their emotional wellbeing and reducing their substance misuse.
Summer Connections was a huge hit this year as always, and throughout the 6 weeks of summer, the children and young people were provided with food, activities and outings. It was a consistent safe place to be, and 26 of them spent most of their
summer with us. Many of them continue to come to the hub, and we are enjoying getting to know each other. As well as lots of hello’s, this year has also been a time of goodbye’s. We first met a group of young boys 5 years ago as they transitioned into secondary school, and they came to the youth hub every week. They are growing into fine young men, and they said goodbye this year, moving onto apprenticeships, further education, and the pursuit of love and new relationships! It was beautiful to watch them leave, knowing that we have beena significant part of their journey through adolescence.
We consistently therapeutically support around 25 young people per week for psychotherapy and counselling. Our Integrative and creative methods are well received, and on average young people access around 15 sessions each, with clinical data demonstrating good improvements in their psychological wellbeing.
We have noticed that many of the young people are Neurodiverse, with ADHD and ASD the most prevalent diagnosis and traits shown. We are proud to be able to provide a safe, inclusive place for these children and young people where they can explore who they are and what their ND means to them.
The YI Hub remains a place of fun, connection, play and exploration, however we do note that the space is small when we are at capacity. Our strategy and goals for 2026 are to secure multi-year funding for our charitable endeavours and funding to build a portable youth indoor activity area.
| would like to sincerely thank our funders The Corra Foundation, The National Lottery Young Start, The Robertson Trust, Renfrewshire Council HSCP, RS MacDonald & The Scottish Government.
| am proud to continue developing a progressive community family, children and young people wellbeing hub, where a multi-disciplinary team work collectively for the good of those who reach in. Where children, young people and families come sometimes feeling lost and bewildered and leave us feeling more empowered and better able to manage in the world.
