The Game Change Project is a Community Interest Company based in Newtown, Powys. We provide a lifeline for disengaged young people by providing a practical, outdoor learning environment where they can develop the confidence, motivation and skills to thrive and contribute to Mid Wales. Over the past year a total of 123 young people aged 13-24 have accessed our life skills programmes. Activities range from animal care, equine management, mechanics and learning on the land. They were referred to our organisation by schools, parents, social services, and other agencies, for various reasons including low confidence, mental health issues, anxiety, ADHD, ASD or other emotional or behavioural problems, which had led them to struggle in a mainstream classroom environment. After completing the programme 95% reported improvements in confidence, 94% reported improved social skills and 92% said they were more motivated. During the summer holidays we delivered 4 additional holiday club sessions for vulnerable young people who were at risk of becoming isolated. Our minibus has been a great asset and the running costs for next 3 years have been covered by PAVO Small Health grant and sponsorship from Evabuild Ltd. The vehicle has opened new opportunities for disadvantaged young people to learn about local employment opportunities, college courses and volunteering, helping them to raise their aspirations and become active citizens. We have been working to diversify our income through corporate sponsorship, fundraising, small grants, donations and sales. We completed our Volunteering in Wales Main Grant project funded by Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and will continue to facilitate meaningful intergenerational volunteering opportunities for our participants to improve confidence and skills. Our young beneficiaries have helped organise community events, volunteered in the community and hosted events with other community groups. We are extremely grateful for support received during this financial year and would like to acknowledge the following funders and sponsors: The National Lottery Community Fund in Wales, Social Value Forum Development Fund (Welsh Government), Vinci Foundation, KFC Foundation, Arnold Clarke Foundation, People’s Postcode Community Foundation, Powys Health Charity and PAVO and Interior Products Group.
Our stakeholders include young people, parents, schools, Powys County Council, Powys Teaching Health Board and other referring agencies, the wider community and other third sector partners. We have gathered evidence that our approach has been successful by way of pre and post course questionnaires, face to face interviews, 6-month post course reviews, feedback forms from parents and schools, volunteer evaluation forms and case studies. The case studies and testimonials really show the impact the project has had on individuals on a personal level. When we asked what would make the project better - the overwhelming response was "more time”. In response to these consultations, we have provided longer term placements and opportunities for young people to become more involved in their community. Participants also can become Peer Mentors to support others through the programme. The mental health crisis affecting young people following Covid-19 compounded by the cost-of-living crisis and issues related to rural isolation have seriously affected the families we support. During consultations with social services and other referrers it immerged that lack of transport was preventing some of the most isolated young people from attending. To address this problem we now subsidise travel costs so that all young people can access our service and the minibus helps us provide transport to other opportunities.
