E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: The organisation is based at the Ocean Estate, one of the most deprived areas in the borough. Over half the local residents feel un-involved, and social isolation is very high among Bengali and Somali community. GCSE passes and average results at Key Stages 2 & 3 are well below national average. The focus areas identified through needs assessment are in line with the overall local youth development plan and the Ocean Youth Strategy. The organisation encourages users to play a part in decision making and this is reflected in the management structure that includes representatives from all user groups. The management committee and staff regularly re-assess the work programme and endeavour to broaden the range of activities provided for young people in the area. At current funding levels the work undertaken by the project represents value for money with continued support from Mainstream Grant Aid and additional funding from New Deal for Communities and other businesses. Officers’ recommendations: Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding. Otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last years award (£4,000).

Officers’ comments: The organisation submits service information reports that indicate good levels of activity and usage.

This funding supports the provision for teenage parents in the local area, which is currently not provided by any youth project locally. This project directly links with the Governments agenda on Transforming Youth Work by providing accreditation opportunities for young people.

E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: BYM is a long established organisation providing youth work in Tower Hamlets. The organisation has a good track record of fund-raising from other sources but relies on 100% support from LBTH for its youth project. Officers’ recommendations: Given the amount of support that has been provided by the Council for several years, officers strongly recommend that any award be conditional upon the organisation increasing funding from other sources and thereby reducing its reliance on the Council for support and strengthening its financial viability. Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding, otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last year’s award (£9,000).

Officer recommendations: Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding, otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last years award (£3,000).

Description: Staffing Costs  Other running costs  Premises costs Building improvements Equipment Other Costs (please specify) Proposed Outcomes for 2005/06  Improved learning skills of children  Students do better in mainstream education  Improved communication within families  Increased cultural awareness and identity

Proposed Outputs and Targets for 2005/06  Enable participants to read and write Bengali as a foreign language to facilitate better communication with family and within the Bengali community Main users or beneficiaries of this activity: Local Bengali parents and their children. Duplication: There are no other organisations providing mother tongue classes within a reasonable distance.

Officer comments: The organisation is operating in an area of the borough where there is very little in the way of Bengali mother tongue provision. The premises used are very suitable for the purposes of teaching and are provided at no cost. The organisation appear to be totally dependent upon the funding from Tower Hamlets as no other income is expressed in the funding bid submitted this year. The organisation benefits from a room in the LINC Centre, provided at no cost and Grant Aid covers tutor costs. Officer recommendations: It is recommended that funding be awarded at the same level of last year (£3,000), subject to further discussions with the organisation about its intentions to raise additional funds to support the project. The organisation has requested three year funding however, officers recommend a one year funding agreement to allow discussions and further investigation to take place to ensure that the organisation are able to demonstrate long term financial viability.

E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: Bow North serves the north-east side of the Bow area. Youth provision in the area has gone through a period of reduction in the last few years both in terms of premises and staffing. The organisation has maintained a good level of service to young people in the area, despite difficulties experienced by the management committee during a series of changes. The proposal for 2005/06 has been developed to take into account a move to new premises in an area with a high level of young people. Additional staffing will be provided by Youth Action UK and Connexions and the youth work programme will be amended to reflect a change in the age of users and the identified needs of Lap Area 5. The organisation submits service information reports that indicate good levels of activity and usage. Officers are committed to supporting the development of this organisation. Officers’ recommendations: Officer recommends on-going funding with the condition that the management committee takes on a more proactive role in the management and running of the organisation. Officers recommend funding of £5,000 should be awarded, subject to any additional inflationary increase that may later be awarded. Funding powers: Children Act 1989 Community Plan target: A better place for living safely:  Be a safer and more peaceful place, with less street crime and violent crime and fewer robberies, less drug related crime and less racial harassment and abuse  A better place for learning, achievement and leisure:  Improve young people’s participation in organised activities  Involve young people in the Local Area Partnerships and Tower Hamlets Youth Partnership

Over 250 young people will benefit from the activities provided at the centre. Duplication: There are no other local day centres for young people or outreach work for girls and young women.

Officers’ comments: The programme of activities provided at the Centre continues to meet the needs of one of the most neglected and excluded groups. Because a large part of the work takes place as outreach the project is in contact with many families and receives direct feedback from them. Local parents have raised approximately £36,000 towards new “green” children’s playground. Officers’ recommendations: Officer recommends continued funding for this project

Main users or beneficiaries of this activity: Bengali young people and their parents Duplication: There is very little mother tongue provision in this area

Officers’ comments: The project is based in the Isle of Dogs where there is little in the way of provision. The project is well established and managed by a strong management committee. The Mother Tongue School operates 2 days a week at St Luke’s Primary School. The Council’s Mother Tongue section currently provides two tutors and funding is requested towards the cost of running cultural events and trips (£1,680). It should be noted that the school shows no other sources of income other than mainstream grant aid for the next (2004/05) financial year. Officers’ recommendations: Members should note that the funding of cultural events and trips is not within the funding priorities of Youth & Lifelong Learning, such activities are usually financed by parental contributions. Officer therefore recommends that the award be adjusted accordingly. Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding, otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last years award (£3,000).

E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: The Daneford Trust has continued to support and provide opportunities for small numbers of young people between 15 – 25 years to participate in international cultural, educational and working exchanges. Priority is given to local young people who would otherwise not have such chances. The Trust maintains a “no rejection” policy as far as possible and positively targets local clubs, schools and organisations that reflect the local community. There is still a shortage of overseas volunteer candidates and the organisation is trying to overcome this through outreach with schools and the community links programme and through raising the profile of the project by participating in a number of events borough-wide. The organisation is making progress in reaching the targets set for 2003/04 financial year and has established links with a number schools and youth organisations operating within the borough.

Officers recommend that if funding is awarded that the organisation work towards achieving a set of targets which should include:  That the organisation broaden its partnership with schools and contract providers for youth facilities across the borough in order to encourage wider participation of young people  That a publicity and marketing strategy is developed in order to raise the capacity and profile of the organisation generally across the borough That existing volunteers develop a peer education project which will develop the marketing strategy of the organisation and widen access to young people across the borough

Officers’ comments: Docklands Somali Educational Project is provided with mother tongue tutors from the Council’s Mother Tongue section. Services are based on the Isle of Dogs. The application fails to fully meet funding priorities or core outcomes as it fails to focus on a cohesive service or project. Core funding of the organisation would support the mother tongue classes. Any funding would be conditional on: 1. the organisation demonstrating that it meets the general eligibility of grant 2. the agreement of outputs, targets and outcomes with officers 3. the organisation securing additional funding from other sources Officer recommendations: Officers recommend no funding as the application is incomplete and does not demonstrate that the organisation meets the general eligibility criteria for grant.

Organisation’s profile: Ensign youth Club was set up in 1975 and aims to provide young people with the opportunity to explore themselves in relation to others, the community and society in which they live. It also aims through its work to equip them to deal with everyday life and to encourage them to develop their full potential as individuals and members of the community. The organisation is currently targeting work with young people who are involved in gang fights in and around their schools. Other organisations are being encouraged to use the building, which can also be hired for functions (this provides a good source of revenue income).

This organisation is applying for funding to support costs for youth club and outreach work, enabling young people to gain access to employment and training opportunities. The group has attracted funding from the other charitable organisations to deliver the project which is encouraging, although the organisation is still reliant on the Council funding to support the bulk of its core costs. Further fundraising will provide sustainability and will enable the development of further activities for the benefit of users. Officers would recommend that the organisation builds on previous successful peer education and CSLA projects and explore alternative accreditation procedures as a progression route for participants Officers’ recommendations: Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding. Otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last years award (£5,000). Funding powers: Children Act 1989 Community Plan target: A better place for learning leisure and achievement

A monitoring visit took place in September 2004. Officers were concerned about some operational issues and have been unable to release grant payments in the current financial year.

There also appears to be an increasing reliance on the Council for support. The organisation should be encouraged to use Council funding as leverage in attracting funding from other sources in order to increase its sustainability and financial viability. Officers’ recommendations: The organisation is requesting a substantial increase in the contribution it is seeking from the Council and as there are outstanding monitoring issues to be resolved any award should be a similar level (£5,000) to the 2004/05 award.

E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: The organisation is applying for a contribution towards general running costs; salaries and support programme of youth activities to fill in gaps when necessary such as, on extra weekday evenings. However, this application lacks any information as to the target age range of the provision and does not clarify what young people who participate in the project will achieve.

The Council supports Kingsley Hall with a grant as well as, through the provision of youth work hours, which is administered by Poplar HARCA, the contract provider for this area. The organisation itself is unable to demonstrate a direct service delivery to young people; the centre largely acts as a resource for community groups, some of which the Council provides funding.

Last year’s award was made subject to Kingsley Hall obtaining match funding from other sources. Although, there is a certain amount of income generated from rental and hall hire, the main concern for officers is that the organisation relies quite heavily on Mainstream Grant Aid and within their application form there is little evidence of applications made to other funders, Officers’ recommendations: Officer strongly recommends that any award be conditional upon the organisation matching or increasing external funding to strengthen its financial viability. Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed then this should be reflected in the funding, otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last year’s award (£12,000).

Officers’ comments: The organisation offers a number of activities to residents including women’s activities, boys and men’s sessions. These activities are of a religious nature and should not be supported through Mainstream Grant Aid. Other than council support and parents’ contributions, there are no other sources of funding and officers are concerned that the grant that was awarded for mother tongue classes is being used to fund religious activities. A monitoring visit by the Mother Tongue Section in April 2004 recommended various action points, including improving learning opportunities. Officers’ recommendations: Officer recommends therefore that funding be conditional upon the organisation:  using the grant for the Bengali mother tongue classes only  that an officer from the Mot her Tongue visits the project to assess whether the standard and quality of teaching has improved Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed then this should be reflected in the funding, otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last year’s award (£3,000).

E:\Moderngov\Data\Committ\Internet\Grants Panel\20041213\Minutes\$3dfplkqk.doc Officers’ comments: The project falls within two different funding priorities as the organisation is proposing to deliver mother tongue classes which falls within the funding priorities of Youth & Lifelong Learning and a literature project which falls within the funding remit of Culture Activities. Officers’ recommendations: The information provided within the application would suggest that creative writing classes, singing and dancing are an integral part of the organisation’s core activities and therefore should not be funded as a stand-alone project. Furthermore there are a number of other organisations providing mother tongue classes in the area and duplication is a key issue when considering support for funding.
