The grant will be spent to help fund the following staff salaries: 1. Charity Manager - role: To oversee all Leys CDI Projects and to raise further funding to keep the projects running beyond the funding period. 2. Youth Project Development Manager. Role: to support young people in the design of their youth project and support the team of youth workers to deliver the project. To carry out outreach work to ensure we are reaching the young people who need us most. 3. Clockhouse Project Worker: Role: - To support older people in the design of their project and help provide what they need for their projects to succeed. To carry out outreach in the community to ensure we are reaching the older people who need us most. For the Leys CDI Projects to have the best outcomes for the community we need to ensure the salaries for our key staff. The current projects not only need to be sustainable but staff also need to be able to build on the outreach work to ensure we are reaching everyone who can benefit. Securing salaries can enable Leys CDI to plan and deliver projects looking beyond 12 months when real benefit and change can be delivered.

Case Study How long have you been attending CDI? I have been attending CDI for 5 years. What position where you when you first come? I was in a position where I wanted meet new people and part take in activities to enjoy myself being in a safe environment. What activities/projects have you been involved in? Some of the I have been involved in going on residentials in order to evaluate the CDI project. The music project, gaining an art award, learning how to communicate better with people and understanding how to start a business with the young enterprise project, the first aid course and food and hygiene course. I have also been involved in the T-shirt printing project. All of these projects have allowed me to learn and develop new skills. These opportunities where not given to me from school which is why I was interested in coming to CDI because they gave me chances and options to take part in activities that are fun and useful. How has the CDI helped you? Personally, CDI has helped me to develop a talent in music and has helped me to increase my knowledge I’m business. I have used these skills to branch out as a musical artist and without CDI. I wouldn’t have the confidence or be put into the right direction if I didn’t attend the project. What does the future hold for you? In the future I would like to be a successful business man/musical artist. Where do you see CDI in the next five years? In the next five years I see CDI as a positive organisation that proceeds to be a positive establishment for the community and continues to help everybody. I also want CDI to carry on giving chances to young people and to people who really want to be something in life but don’t get given the option due to low income backgrounds. I see CDI being a strong charity and supportive. Young people can gain qualifications and a correct skill set to gain a job and survive in the harsh reality of the world. There is a high unemployment rate for young people and with CDI young people are given the chance to be stronger candidates to get a job. A personal opinion, Blackbird Leys is a deprived area. Did I not have the opportunity to attend CDI I would be in an unsafe environment involving myself in crimes in order to survive. CDI has truly change my life and others and they continue to help everybody.

This existing two-year project builds on previous provision and deliver a range of youth activities at the Blackbird Leys Community Centre hall for children and young people aged 9 to 25, living in the Blackbird Leys estate, in Oxford. There are three youth groups; open access youth club, Vision Transition Group that will focus on the transition into adulthood, and Young Women’s Group to provide a space where young women are supported to safely explore issues of their choosing to raise aspirations, develop skills, confidence, and self-esteem. The project is youth-led through participation in the Youth Management Committee.

We would put the grant towards the salary of the Leys CDI Clockhouse Development Worker, and a proportion towards CDI core costs. The Development Worker is key to the running and the success of the Project. The guiding principle underlying all our work is consultation with, and involvement of, local older residents. The Clockhouse should be a welcoming space ‘owned’ by local over-50s and responding to their priorities. To identify those priorities we use community surveys, regular ‘welcome’ events, outreach visits to sheltered housing and social groups, and feedback from local over-50s. All this work requires a person who works alongside older residents encouraging them to engage in the Project, consults current and new users to give new ideas for activities, co-ordinates activities, publicises the project, and reaches out to new users. Many new users need support and encouragment to try the activities. Equally important is the need to provide transport for disabled Clockhouse users, many of whom find it difficult to get around. The Project currently has a volunteer driver, and aims to enlist more volunteer drivers; uses Aspire Community Transport, and taxis when unavoidable. All this work requires planning and co-ordination which only the Development Worker can provide.
