1 Chief Officer’s Report Continued... Cath Clarke

We continue to work in partnership across Allerdale to run the Friday Night Programmes working with 8 other youth providers to ensure young people have access to high quality youth provision. We extended our successful Dreamscheme Programme into Carlisle and Eden and lots of young people have benefited from taking part in this programme which gives them a host of transferable skills. We continue to work as part of the Groundwork Cumbria ESF and Big Lottery funded project and this project is an example of what can be achieved for young people when organisations share resources and ideas to support individuals on the programme. We also continue to work with WEA on their ESF and Big Lottery funded project in Carlisle and Eden. We are proud of our work with young people in schools and are in awe of what young people can achieve for themselves and for their wider communities.

Our team has supported over 60 young people into employment; many gaining their first ever jobs with our support and a big thank you goes out the local employers big and small who have made this possible. A sustainable job is still the best way out of poverty.

Looking ahead we will continue to deliver high quality services to our member organisations and directly to the young people we support in a variety of settings, schools, alternative provision, youth and community settings and here in our offices in Workington. There is still a lot of unmet need across Cumbria but we are confident that by working together we can address some of these needs and enable other organisations working with children, young people and families to do the same.

To say that I am proud of the Cumbria Youth Alliance team of staff and volunteers would be an understatement; our staff and volunteers are committed and go the extra mile to ensure we do the best for young people. Our trustees give freely of their time to steering the organisation through difficult and challenging times and they have been unstinting in their support for us over the last year.

Lastly a big ‘thank you’ to our funders, without you none of this would be possible, thank you for helping us change young people’s lives for the better.

The group was originally set up to bring together key organisations working with children, young people and families to share information, develop joint programmes and to interact with our partners in the statutory services so we could complement but not duplicate services here in Cumbria. This group also elects and supports the third sector individuals who undertake strategic representation on behalf of the sector on a number of key boards and working groups giving us a structure that comes with responsibility and accountability. This includes things like the Children’s Trust Board and Cumbria Third Sector Executive. We currently have 124 member organisations who receive correspondence and bulletins but the average meeting will have between 20-30 attendees depending upon the key speakers. During the year we have 6 meetings of the group - all the meetings take place at the Penrith Methodist Church on the second Tuesday of the month. Key speakers in 2018/2019 have included Virtual School Head from Cumbria County Council, Big Lottery Community Team, Henry Smith Charitable Trust, Cumbria County Council Children’s Services, ACEs Awareness, and CAMHS to name but a few of the speakers. The group is administered by a part time administrator Christine who does an amazing job of managing the meetings and the sharing of information between members. The minutes/agendas and any reports from representatives are also available for download from the website www.ccypvsrg.org.uk. . We provide a weekly sharing of leaflets and information between the members and the website is regularly updated and member organisations can post their information there in addition to the strategic reports etc. The group is co-chaired by Cath Clarke from Cumbria Youth Alliance who also hosts the group and by Pam Hutton from Cumbria Family Support Centre. This joint chairing arrangement gives us the knowledge across children and families as well as young people. In addition to the meetings the group identified they would like to attend training to improve their knowledge of young people’s mental health and as such a 1.5 day course on improving young people’s mental health was commissioned and delivered by Leigh Williams of CADAS. Further training on the implementation of GDPR was also offered to the members of the group. Funder: A grant from Cumbria CVS as part of the Third Sector Network
