REACH Open Evening Reach project staff and participants hosted an open evening at the Halliwell Jones Stadium to highlight the achievements of the young people and provide further insight into the project. The evening was well attended by a wide selection of people varying from participants and their parents to local community organisations, Foundation trustees and local councillors. A Slm about the project was specially produced for the event and participants hosted interactive activities including problem solving activities, challenges and guided tours. All the young people involved in the event did an excellent job of promoting their project and impressed visitors with their knowledge, commitment and progression.

Youth Carnival On Sunday 18th July the Foundation was involved in the Warrington Youth Carnival at Queens Garden. This event was designed to celebrate and showcase the positive activities and achievements of young people across the town and the Foundation was pleased to acknowledge the achievements and successes of the young people engaged in our programmes. Participants from the REACH project volunteered their time to promote their learning, experiences and successes and worked to actively engage other young people in problem solving tasks and challenges to demonstrate simple conTict resolution skills. REACH participant, Hannah Rustage, said, “I really enjoyed volunteering at the Youth Carnival and it was really good explaining and showing people what we have all accomplished on the REACH project. I’m glad I volunteered because it was a very good experience.” Peace Talks Autumn 10 - New Style 14/09/2010 13:23 Page 4

Full On The Foundation has come to the end of its Learning and Skills Council contract to deliver the Full On programme across Warrington and Wigan. Between January 2009 and August 2010, we have run 18 courses and worked with 152 young people who were at risk of disengaging from education.

The Full On programme is a series of ConTict Resolution and Citizenship courses aimed at young people in Key Stage 4 to enable them to develop the skills and understanding necessary to become more effective citizens, with the ability to approach conTict in a non-violent manner. This programme works with disaffected young people at risk of permanent disengagement from education and social exclusion to tackle areas of conTict in their lives, remove barriers to learning, and promote social and practical skills. The Full On courses offer intensive, individual support to ‘hard to reach’ groups and aim to maintain the engagement of young people by facilitating their access to learning, personal development, achievement and progression, and by assisting their transition to further education or training.

During this contract the Foundation has exceeded all targets and has made a long lasting contribution to the positive personal development of many of our learners.

The project also enabled participants to gain self conSdence and improve their ability to achieve previously unachievable targets in behaviour, attitude and engagement in education. This has resulted in 87% of learners being retained in education after the completion of their programme. Programme Achievements Target Actual

No of learners starting a programme 127 152

Peer Mentoring & Community Work Placement As part of the REACH programme, the Foundation is exploring various ways in which the young people can receive mentoring from people and organisations across Warrington. The aim of mentoring is to raise the aspirations of young people in order for them to achieve their potential and through this, raise their levels of engagement and employability. Various mentoring options are being provided to ensure that all young people will be involved in positive activities and will develop positive working relationships in an environment which suits their individual needs. The Foundation has linked into the Warrington Wide Mentoring Programme to develop a formal ‘External Mentoring Programme’ in which volunteers will facilitate fortnightly one-to-one mentoring sessions with some of the REACH students. This form of mentoring will encourage students to set targets for personal development and achievement and will provide motivation and support for them to attain these targets. Throughout this process, positive relationships will be developed based upon trust, honesty and mutual respect. The mentors will receive full training and will be supported throughout their involvement in the project. In addition, community work placements and volunteering opportunities will be provided to enable the REACH students to gain valuable work experience, develop relevant workplace skills, and allow them to ‘give back’ to the community. Throughout the community work placements the students will receive informal mentoring and guidance from staff within the workplace to raise aspirations for their future careers. Work placements will initially take the form of one afternoon per week over a number of weeks to be decided in consultation with individual employers. If you are interested in supporting these community work placements and feel that you could provide a work placement or volunteering opportunity to the REACH students please contact the REACH Programme Team on 01925581235.
