Summary of proposed project:
SNAP Youth is seeking funding to facilitate a Thursday evening youth club and a detached youth work session in South Normanton, Derbyshire. The ‘open-access’ youth club and detached sessions will give young people aged 10 – 17 years the opportunity to engage with fun, challenging and social learning activities. The youth workers will use creative measures to engage young people in subjects that are relevant and impactful to their lives and life choices. These will include dealing with fear, controlling anger, peer choices, positive relationships, keeping safe online, adventurous activities verses risky activities, life after school, physical and emotional health and alcohol and substance misuse. The structured activity element of this project aims to prevent the development and/or pattern of antisocial or criminal behaviour from becoming entrenched. In addition, funding will be used to facilitate a programme of peer mentoring training and support sessions for young people. This initiative is designed to equip peer mentors to support younger peers when help and advice is needed.
Evidence of need for the project:
SNAP Youth currently facilitate youth club sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Young people have been asking for a Thursday night youth club because they say that there is nothing for them to do when school has finished accept hang around the shops. They say that their peers talk at school about getting involved in ‘risky’ activities for fun. They also say that people get pressured to do things that they do not want to do, but don’t know how to say no! The security staff at McArther Glen designer outlet have made contact with SNAP Youth to ask for support with large groups of unsupervised young people who have been engaging in antisocial and criminal activities. Frederick Gent School have communicated the need to support vulnerable young people who are getting caught up in issues relating to ‘county-line’. Local community members have made contact to say that they have had trouble with groups of rude young people shouting insults at them.
Who will benefit and how (clear outcomes):
Young people will benefit from having a Thursday night youth club and structured detached sessions. This will give them somewhere to go, people who are interested in them and something to do. Local businesses and community members will see a reduction in young people hanging about and becoming a nuisance to others on the streets and in the shops. The peer mentors will directly benefit from the training program, in terms of improving their skills in team work, communication, problem-solving and leadership. The mentees will directly benefit from having someone of a similar age to talk to. This will help reduce isolation, increase self-confidence and their ability to talk through issues and concerns and make informed decisions about life style choices. The mentees will directly benefit from gaining knowledge of support services and where to get support if needed.

EVIDENCE OF NEED - Please tell us what evidence you have of the need for this project
There are a high number of young people from South Normanton and Pinxton engaging in risky behaviours as a way of coping with the challenges and experience of teenage life. For example, evidence includes: On-going observations and discussions tell us that some young people, who are suffering from deprivation, are recognising the financial advantages and status achieved through the business of small scale drug supply. Observation and discussions tell us that some young people are seeking drugs or alcohol to help deal with anxiety or to help lessen the obsession and pressure of school life and exams.
Self -harm is being used more and more by young people. They say it’s used as a way of coping with life, expressing emotions and dealing with feelings of hopelessness anxiety and depression. Some young people say they enjoy the excitement and respect the street gangs give them. They share how they like the power it gives them over other people. Some shrug their shoulders when questioned about committing criminal offense/damage and say ‘It wasn’t me. I can’t control what other people do’. Sadly, local schools don’t always have time to deal with the pastoral needs of these young people and quite often their parents are not able to connect with or support them in a way that is helpful. This is further compounded by the statutory youth work provision in Derbyshire being hit disproportionately hard by spending cuts, with young people losing out as a result. The support offered to young people is being eroded dramatically. There’s lots of talk about ensuring young people receive the support they need to flourish and become active, responsible citizens, yet they no longer have that safe space to go to get that support.

TRACK RECORD OF DELIVERY – Please outline your organisation’s track record in delivering similar projects and working with the target group
Over the last 16 years, SNAP DP has provided good quality youth work, with innovative models of delivery to young people. Examples of delivery include: Supporting the teenage pregnancy prevention strategy by developing and delivering a bespoke programme to the ‘most at risk’ teenagers in Bolsover District schools. Raising the aspirations of ‘vulnerable and deprived’ teenagers through engagement with the Namibia Bound Project. Facilitating mentoring programmes for young people who’s needs have included: isolation, self harm, school exclusion, sexual identity, hate crime, social media abuse, fighting and anger issues. Co-partnering with young people to design and develop youth clubs and sport programmes that are relevant to current need. The curriculum for delivery includes: first aid for drug and alcohol users, the effects of drug and alcohol misuse; healthy and unhealthy relationships; being a victim of abuse; dealing with bullying and peer pressure; sexuality, appearance and gender stereotypes; the positive and negative experiences of social media and keeping it safe. Developing and delivering a youth volunteer programme. This initiative encouraged and supported young people to safely and responsibly get involved with their community. The young people delivered art and craft sessions to the elderly in residential homes; served meals to the elderly at the St George’s day event; picked litter up from around the village; facilitated afterschool sports programmes and acted as a marshal during carnival and lantern parade events.
Page 12 of 20 New Existing Work Work Is this grant for new work, or to support/extend your existing work?
If you are seeking a grant to support existing work, please explain below how and why your existing approach(es) work well
• SNAP DP employs experienced, skilled workers who know the area and young people well. • The youth workers develop good relationships with young people that are based on mutual respect, with clear boundaries. • Planned sessions are based on the identified needs of the young people who attend.
• Youth work sessions are well prepared, planned and thoroughly evaluated. All planned activities are inclusive and encourage youth participation. • SNAP DP ensures there is a wide range of activities available for young people, including recreational, artistic and creative, sporting and intellectual. • The youth workers are imaginative when it comes to developing social education. They make learning fun and engaging. • Young people’s needs are thoroughly identified and met and youth workers make efforts to measure the progress young people are making. • The youth workers challenge as well as support young people. • The youth workers ensure that young people have the opportunity to discuss issues that affect them. • Young people are actively involved in running their centre and planning and evaluating the work. • SNAP DP values young people and their ability to make informed decisions based on facts. • SNAP DP opens up discussions with young people so they are able to think through the consequences of their actions. This leads to better informed choices, changes in activity and improved outcomes.
EXIT STRATEGY – If you are successful what will happen to the project/service/activity when the funding ends
Providing good quality youth work, with innovative models requires professionally qualified and skilled youth workers and ongoing funding. SNAP DP has piloted a semi-volunteer led initiative in the past, but sadly the standard of delivery and quality of learning was not suitable for the young people we work with. Ongoing funding to sustain this project is something that SNAP DP will research.
Page 13 of 20 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – please give any other information you think is relevant to the application
This year SNAPDP has been supporting many children from low-income families. These children are attending the youth club very hungry and shameful of not having money to buy food. In response to this need, the youth workers piloted a free lunch and activity club during the school summer holiday. The lunch and activity club was well attended and parents voiced how grateful they were that their child had been cared for. One parent said “you don’t know how helpful this lunch club is for my family, thank you’.
In response to the ‘call for support’ from McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, the SNAPDP youth workers met with the security team and management and worked together to plan a way of deterring young people from accessing the shopping centre with a view to cause trouble. This plan includes: a behind the scene tour, a fun and engaging introduction to the world of working at the outlet and an informative quiz. The aim of this plan is to help young people to: develop positive relationships with the people that work at the outlet; gain an understanding of the impact of criminal damage; gain a greater awareness of employers in the local area and what sort of person they are looking for to employ.
