During the financial year, One With The Village CIC delivered a range of outreach, mentoring, educational and employability activities that benefited young people, families and the wider community. The company delivered 48 outreach sessions, engaging approximately 70 young people who were provided with guidance, mentoring, positive activities and access to support services. These sessions created safe spaces for young people to discuss challenges, build confidence and develop positive aspirations. The company worked with Year 5 and Year 6 pupils at Hill Mead Primary School and Loughborough Primary School, delivering workshops focused on personal development, emotional wellbeing, positive decision-making and preparation for transition into secondary education. One With The Village CIC supported 15 young people to complete CSCS training courses, increasing their employability and creating pathways into future employment opportunities. A further 5 young people were supported into employment, helping them gain valuable work experience, skills and financial independence. The company also provided mentoring and mediation support to 10 young people identified as being at risk of exclusion from school. Through targeted intervention, family engagement and partnership working with schools, 2 young people facing significant exclusion risks successfully remained in education and completed Year 6. These activities helped reduce the risk of exclusion and disengagement, improved confidence and emotional wellbeing, increased access to training and employment opportunities, strengthened relationships between young people, schools and families, and contributed to safer, stronger and more connected communities.

The company’s stakeholders include young people participating in programmes and activities, parents and carers, schools and educational providers, community organisations, funding organisations and grant providers, and the wider community. The company consulted stakeholders through feedback from young people following projects and activities, discussions with schools regarding the needs of young people, meetings with parents and carers, and regular engagement with community partners and funders. Feedback identified the need for increased mentoring, employability support and targeted intervention for young people at risk of exclusion and disengagement. In response, the company strengthened mentoring and mediation support, increased engagement with schools and families, and developed pathways into training and employment opportunities for young people.
