During the reporting period (November 2023 – October 2024), Essence Youth Mentoring CIC delivered a broad programme of community services focused on empowering girls and young women, supporting emotional wellbeing, reducing isolation, and improving personal development and social outcomes. Key programmes included our Focus Girls Group, weekly Youth Club sessions, and Satur-day Dance workshops, designed to build confidence, positive relationships, physical wellbe-ing, and resilience. We delivered the Refocus School Intervention Programme across local schools, providing 1:1 behavioural and emotional regulation mentoring, group resilience sessions, and hotspot drop-in support for students struggling with engagement and class-room behaviour. We operated HAF-funded holiday clubs throughout Easter, Summer, and Half-term periods, offering wellbeing activities, creative workshops, life skills training, and supportive environ-ments for girls who may be at risk of social exclusion or low emotional wellbeing. Women’s Wellness Wednesdays provided structured life skills workshops, access to health profes-sionals, emotional support, and safe community connection spaces for females. In addition, we provided access to online learning courses for young people and women to support personal development, employability, and confidence building. Youth Council and Girls Forum initiatives enabled young people to influence decision-making, express their voices, and develop leadership skills. We held community giveaway days providing essential hygiene products, food parcels, and wellbeing resources to support vulnerable families. We also facilitated an international girls’ holiday trip for six young women, offering a transformative experience focused on confi-dence building, aspiration raising, teamwork, and exposure to new environments. All programmes were designed to improve mental health, emotional resilience, social skills, leadership, and life chances for girls and young women from marginalised and disadvan-taged backgrounds in our community.
Stakeholder consultation took place through youth council discussions, participant feedback, parental engagement, school partnership reviews, surveys, community partner meetings, and informal check-ins. Programme content and delivery were adjusted in response to the expressed needs of young people and community feedback.
A remuneration of £800 was paid to the director Natina Whitter
