Young Lancashire

information • support • representation

Thank you to all who have supported us during the year and to all who helped make a positive difference to the lives of young people through their work in our communities across Lancashire.

Young people are faced with tough choices throughout adolescence and it is vital that they can continue to access a wide range of opportunities; broadening their experiences and offering support where necessary in order to help shape the decisions and choices they make.

In this respect Young Lancashire welcomes the breadth of organisations involved in our network, from local community and faith based groups and uniformed groups, to national charities based in Lancashire. This diverse range of bodies offers young people a rich variety of open access opportunities to more specialist targeted provision for those who are more vulnerable.

The continued high levels of membership are an indicator of the resilience of Lancashire’s voluntary sector in times of reduced levels of funding and increasing demand, though it is sad to note that a few local charities did have to close their doors during the year because of a shortfall in funding despite the strong support

and interest from young people in their services.Young Lancashire is not immune from

this challenging financial climate and had to restructure its workforce during the year in order to sustain membership services by creating a more flexible approach to meeting it’s future workforce requirements. This means we will be commissioning and contracting more work through our network of members and suppliers and operating with fewer employees in the future, and I would like to thank Harvey, Sheralee and Zoe, who left Young Lancashire during the year, for all their hard work and support.

As ever, we welcome your feedback about our services, so that we can continue to build on our foundation for safe and effective work with young people across Lancashire.

I hope you enjoy reading this year’s review and I look forward to your continued support and hearing more about young people’s successes and achievements during the year ahead.

All good wishes,

Graham WhalleyChief Executive

A warm welcome to this year’s review

Who we are

What we do

Young Lancashire is a registered charity, established in 1923 as an Association for local youth clubs. Our history, dating back over 90 years, has a back catalogue which includes the restoration and running of Borwick Hall as an outdoor centre, supporting and running specialist youth programmes, in particular for more disadvantaged groups, and establishing a Bursary Award Scheme. Most recently the charity has focused on championing the role of the voluntary sector and providing a range a support services, helping local charities to adapt, survive and thrive.

We provide a quality assured network to support safe and effective work with children and young people across the county. Through our range of support services, voluntary organisations are more informed and better able to help children and young people to: aspire and achieve at school and in work; to contribute and engage in positive activities in their leisure time; so that they may lead healthy lives, which are safe from harm.

We support a network of over 250 groups and organisations providing activities to over 100,000 young people. Our professional team of support staff and volunteers from across the network work to achieve more for young people by providing access to;

Quality standards // Guidance materials on collaborative working // Tendering through consortia // Training for national youth awards// Briefing events // Strategic networks and member’s meetings// Funding and business planning support// Support and information on safeguarding// Policy templates// DBS (formerly CRB) checks // Low cost insurance services // and access to an AQA Unit Award Scheme to formally recognise and accredit young people’s participation and learning.

Young Lancashire provides a member’s benefit scheme to all front line voluntary children, young people and family based organisations operating in Lancashire who wish to join as full members.

Becoming a member is straightforward and we have opportunities for groups, individuals and businesses to get involved.

Young Lancashire is indebted to all who support us, to the many members who make their annual subscriptions as groups, friends or 100 club members and to the many organisations that provide support in kind, such as the use of meeting rooms, professional advice and the many other ways generosity manifests itself, which cannot appear in a balance sheet.

Supporting Lancashire’s Voluntary Sector Our aims and goals Young Lancashire is a registered Charity, established in 1923, and a company limited by guarantee, governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association, since 1986.

Our Charitable Object is: To help young people, living in the county of Lancashire, through their leisure time activities (though not exclusively so) to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and as members of society and so that their conditions of life may be improved.

Young Lancashire’s Vision is:Of a fair and open society in which all young people are supported to raise their aspirations, inspired to achieve their goals and make a positive contribution to their communities through their personal and social development.

Young Lancashire’s Mission is: To support children, young people and family based organisations to achieve the highest standards of practice and effectiveness in their work by building their capacity to deliver quality services.

Strategic Priorities

Providing leadership and a shared voice:

Young Lancashire co-ordinated a series of eight assemblies during the year between the local authority and the voluntary sector, through the Children and Young People’s Trust arrangements. Issues covered included; the sexual exploitation of children and young people, statutory inspections, the formation of standards for youth participation and youth unemployment in Lancashire.

Fostering the development of quality:

Young Lancashire provides an accessible route for local youth groups to develop quality systems. All members demonstrate adherence to initial quality standards through their application for membership, and may access further opportunities to develop high quality work with young people through 1:1 support sessions and training courses.

Improving outcomes for children young people and families:

Young Lancashire supports local charities to work collectively in the provision of youth services and targeted youth support, by working through the consortium Greater Together. Established in 2011, the consortium’s purpose is to sustain and grow high quality, children, young people and family-related provision within the local voluntary sector, in response to identified needs. Since inception, over 40 local charities have become involved in the joint delivery of services under contract from the

local authority to improve the outcomes of young people.

Development of collaborative working and commissioning frameworks:

Young Lancashire helped to shape and deliver the Transforming Local Infrastructure project in Lancashire and is involved in the launch of a new company, ONE Lancashire. This new company aims to transform and improve infrastructure services available to third sector organisations across the County through collaboration and joint commissioning by local infrastructure providers.

Accessible support services and activities:

Young Lancashire provides a monthly newsletter; Children and Young People Lancashire News, which reaches over 1,200 contacts per month. We continue to meet the ongoing requests from Members for DBS (formerly CRB) checks and for accredited awards for young people through an AQA Unit Award Scheme, both of which are available from our website.

www.younglancashire.org.uk



Young Lancashire’s network of voluntary organisations working with Children Young People and Families across Lancashire grew substantially during the year through close partnership working with the County Council’s Young People’s Service; from 178 registered groups in 2012 to 270 groups working with over 100,000 young people in 2013. Member’s benefited from a wide range of support services during the year including; monthly information bulletins; CRB disclosure checks; briefing sessions on contemporary issues; youth work training and accreditation services for youth awards.

Through these services we have continued to build the quality and effectiveness of voluntary youth organisations across Lancashire, to be better able to meet the needs of young people, and especially so those who are more vulnerable through the commencement of a Targeted Youth

Report of the trusteesfor the year ended 31st March 2013

Support Service. This new service, funded under a contract from the County Council, delivered by a consortium of providers and managed by Young Lancashire, has demonstrated the ability of local youth charities to respond positively to contracting and work collaboratively alongside national charities with our support. It is expected that this model of contracting and support with the consortium Greater Together will continue to develop through new tender opportunities in coming years.

We successfully completed a five year Big Lottery Funded programme during the year, the results of which were independently evaluated. This evaluation found that our work resulted in; 340 youth workers becoming more qualified; 1,000 plus young people achieving accredited awards for their activities; over 250 groups being given support to develop in areas like quality standards and up to 100 of these reporting that our support had helped to increase their funding by 5%. The report also demonstrated that this programme played an important part in Young Lancashire’s broader work in the sector including consortium development and contributed greatly to the organisation’s achievements between 2007 and 2012.

Importantly during the year we managed to secure new short term funding

Measuring the difference our work makes is important and we invested in an independent impact evaluation exercise in 2013; the results of which demonstrate that the charity has made a positive difference to more than 80% of those we worked with over the past 5 years. This independent evaluation found that Young Lancashire has:

Improved working relationships amongst voluntary youth organisations, providing new opportunities to access funding, and enabling the sector to engage in a government requirement, through the establishment of a provider consortium; through which over 1,000 young people a year have achieved an accredited award.

Improved the quality of youth work in the voluntary sector by increasing the number of qualified youth workers in the county; 340 youth workers have become more qualified.

Raised awareness of contemporary issues facing youth workers through the delivery of a wide range of training and events providing, on average, 18 events to 260 participants, each year for past 5 years.

Positively impacted on the lives of 44 young people through our bursary scheme with total grants exceeding £6,600. And also celebrated the positive contributions of five young people through our annual Young Person of the Year Award, sponsored by The Harris Charity.

Extended access to the County Council’s Children and Young People’s Trust for the voluntary sector; ensuring the sector’s influence on council policy and services for children and young people, and thereby helping to improve outcomes for children and young people across the county.

Directly supported more than 235 voluntary youth groups to build their capacity, improve their services and become sustainable - including help with business plans, quality systems and funding development.

Young Person of the Year 2013This year’s award was won jointly by Hayley Tomlinson and Shannon Garrity from Preston Rosette’s Morris Dancing Troupe. Hayley and Sharon won the award for their outstanding commitment to the Morris Dancing Troupe for supporting and leading young members to compete and win awards at the regional level. In addition, we provided bursaries, totalling £1,735, to 11 young people for their personal and social development. These bursaries assisted them in a range of personal development opportunities, including: participation in accredited training courses; voluntary services overseas; music lessons; drama courses; running football coaching sessions; arts awards and volunteering projects.

Review of goals set out in last year’s reportKeeping in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, the trustee’s goals for the year ahead remain: to influence the design of open and transparent commissioning arrangements; to help develop the market of young people’s services by third sector providers; to help build collaborative ventures, which maintain the profile of local providers and community based groups, in the delivery of services to children and young people and the provision of quality targeted youth support and youth services, across Lancashire.

FinancesThe trustees carried out a review of the organisation’s structure in 2012 to reduce costs and consider alternative sources of income, in recognition that there remains an overwhelming need for the Government to reduce the UK’s deficit, which continues to make raising income for the voluntary sector difficult and fundraising elsewhere very competitive.

for projects including the Community Games and the Transforming Local Infrastructure programme and, with support from the County Children and Young People’s Trust, we have been able to host a regular series of meetings with the Trust and the voluntary sector at both County and District Board level through representative arrangements, keeping volunteers and staff informed on key policy decisions affecting the lives of Children and Young People in Lancashire.

Balancing the increase in demand for support services (which have proved their worth) from a larger network with a significant reduction in the supply of resources to meet such demand is a real challenge for ‘local infrastructure’ organisations such as Young Lancashire. Given a continuing environment of reduced funding and because of a predicted downturn in income the Board implemented a process to restructure the charity, which was completed in March 2013, in order to adapt to the changing environment and to ensure an ongoing provision of support services. The new operational model meant that we had to say good-bye to a number of loyal, hard working staff at the end of the year and the Board would like to thank in particular; Harvey, Sheralee and Zoe for their support in all our programmes of work. They together with all our other partners have made tremendous contribution to the lives of children and young people across Lancashire.

Additionally this year we said good-bye to our President of over thirty years, Lord Shuttleworth KCVO and welcomed our new President Jeremy Gorick at a Gala Dinner which the charity arranged in the autumn; bringing together friends new and old, raising funds for the Bursary Scheme and enjoying a well earned sing-along from long standing supporters the Houghton Weavers.

As Chairman I am very conscious and appreciative that it is only through the on-going hard work and commitment of Young Lancashire staff, together with the Board of Trustees, that organisations and young people themselves have benefited from the expertise and support outlined above.
