THE KING'S ARMS YOUTH PROJECT

The charity has been set up by the Christians in Petersfield to serve the community of Petersfield and the surrounding villages. It particularly focuses on youth, by providing facilities in which they can meet together in a safe environment to relax but also with the opportunity to find counselling, education and information. Much of the work is focused on helping the more vulnerable young people

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained

Established: 23 years

Funding towtards running an "exploration programme" that helps young carers to understand their role, the challenges they face, and what support is available to them. Specifically, the aims of the exploration programme are for the young people: To have increased self-esteem Many Young Carers struggle to cope with their caring roles. They may lack confidence, have low self-esteem or struggle with their identity. They may feel guilty that they are not doing a good enough job either by not caring properly or not looking after siblings needs; at the same time they may feel resentment or not look after themselves at the expense of others. They may feel frustrated at having no control. They may feel they are an expert in their family but nobody takes their views seriously. They can become very disheartened about their own personal future resulting in apathy towards their education. They often have lower grades than their contemporaries. They can have low school attendance or have risky behaviours. To have greater emotional resilience Young Carers often have a lack of appropriate emotional support. They do not want to put their already strained parents under additional pressure. They often do not want to identify themselves as a Young Carer due to fear, stigma or being negatively labelled. They do not want to stand out as being different for fear of bullying. They may worry about what is going on at home and how they are coping at school. They may have feelings they do not understand. They often do not have time to spend with friends or be involved in out of school activities and they can feel no sense of relief from the complexities of their life. It is often said that they miss childhood experiences and the opportunity to be "normal". To have better positive relationships Young Carers often feel isolated and lonely. They can experience a lack of empathy from friends who do not understand their caring role. They can feel they are an outsider and that no one understands their situations. They can hide their caring role from other relatives, friends, schools, medics and services through lack of trust or fear of intervention. They may fear being judged, letting the family down, having the family split up and being terrified of being taken into care. They may have a lack of appropriate parental input or little opportunity to have positive, quality family time. They may not have someone they can talk to who understands.
