Our "2InSpire" beneficiaries are young people aged 8-18 living in Walworth and surrounding areas including Faraday, Newington and North Walworth wards in addition to the Aylesbury Estate. Many of these young people are ‘at risk’ because of previous involvement in crime, anti-social behaviour, carrying weapons, social exclusion and school exclusion. Because we know these young people well, we know how challenging their lives can be and understand that behind their ‘bad’ behaviours are young people who have low aspirations, poor confidence and self-belief. They often lack role models and trusted adults in their lives, leading to a chaotic environment with disruptive home lives. They are often vulnerable to exploitation by local gangs and other criminal influencers who they seek to recruit. The majority of the young people attending our activities are teenagers from BME and other non-indigenous backgrounds. Typically, we see more males than females which we are taking steps to address. Because of our charity’s location close to the Aylesbury Estate, many of our youth group members live there often over the long term, but also those who have moved home as part of the large scale regeneration. The large scale regeneration of this area has been disruptive, leaving many in temporary accommodation. Often, these families have no idea how long they will be staying there. This situation frequently leaves them in an unstable environment where they can feel displaced or marginalise, constantly struggling to find a stable place within their community. There are currently no other youth group programmes (as we deliver) for these local teenagers that are free and accessible, particularly to those young people most in need. Particularly during the school holidays and half term weeks, these young people believe that there is nothing to do and nowhere to go, so they become vulnerable to disruptive influences that can lead them into negative or criminal behaviours. Elements such as "County Lines" drug dealers, gang culture and other criminal activities can easily fill this void unless there are regular stable opportunities such as our "2InSpire" activities which provide positive role models, self-belief and encouragement. The term-time sessions we already arrange are varied and scheduled on a regular basis: Mondays: FAM (Film, Arts,Media) Club - @ Inspire : boys and girls mainly teenagers Tuesdays: Newington Youth Club - @ TRA Hall : age 8+ (younger) boys and girls Wednesdays : Creative Club - @ Inspire : mainly teenage girls Fridays: 2Inspire Youth Club - @ Inspire : boys and girls, mainly teenagers Saturdays: Football activities followed by Youth Club @ Giraffe Club Our impact for the youth group activities and opportunities provided are measured through key outcomes: - creating stable friendships - feeling confident - learning new skills - feeling safe out and about - demonstrating sharing and caring - showing responsible behaviour - being fit and healthy - being punctual and reliable We will measure outputs through records which will determine numbers attending, their regularity, home location, age, ethnicity, type of activity (e.g. youth club or football).
