2. Activity by Month
The number of visits to Youth Services each month is seasonal with fewer numbers in December to February and peak numbers in May/June.
Ø Brighton Youth Centre was the largest contributor to the peak in May, with 761 visits, their highest of the year.
Ø The Hangleton & Knoll Project had the next highest numbers in May, at 375, but their busiest month was August, with 426 visits. This peak is hidden in the chart above as most other providers see some of their lowest numbers in August.
Ø The peak in November is only slightly above the annual average (+189 more visits in November against a monthly average of 1,159) but seems higher when viewed against a dip in visitor levels of a similar scale (-215 against the average) in August.
3. YP’s Area of Residence
The chart below shows the number of young people living in each area of the city.
Note: it is currently not possible to report on the area of service delivery, but this has been noted for future development.
4. Age Profile
72% of young people worked with are under the age of 18.
5. Special Educational Needs
49% of contacts were successfully matched to the January 2019 schools census in order to find their SEN status (YP were not matched where they live out of area, do not attend mainstream provision or are school leavers). This is compared to the percentage of children and young people with SEN provision across the entire census.

6. Ethnicity
As above, 49% of contacts were successfully matched to the January 2019 school census in order to find their ethnicity; this is compared with the percentage of each ethnicity across the entire census. The comparison indicates that Youth Services work with a greater proportion of ethnic minority groups than the city average.

7. Activities
The table shows activities recorded on Aspire, provided to young people over the year and grouped by provider. Unique contacts are unique to each activity, that is, if a young person attended more than one activity they will be counted under both (see page 3 for unique contacts by provider). Coloured shading and data bars show a comparison across all provider activities. More detail on activities can be found here.
Other Activities
A further 112 young people that do not have ASPIRE records were supported by the Trust for Developing Communities at the activities listed above.
In addition, TDC supported 984 young people at the 2018 Pride and LoveBN1 festivals. 605 (61%) of these YP were female and 379 (39%) male.

9. Progress Star
A trial of Progress Star outcomes began in July 2018 and we now have results for 53 young people. Initial (baseline) assessment scores are compared to the most recent assessment scores over five assessment elements.
The chart below shows the percentage of scores which have decreased, remained static, or increased for each element, and is split by gender.
· Confidence has the largest increase with 62% of YP reporting improvements.
· This is followed by ‘community’ and ‘skills’, both with 58% increases.
· The element with least change is ‘involvement’, which also has the largest gender gap with 57% of males not feeling more or less involved, compared to 41% of females.
· ‘Feeling positive about the future’ stands out as having the largest % of dipped scores. 11% of YP now feel less confident about the future and there is a 6% gap between females and males (13% female, 7% male).
· Involvement and positive future are the only areas with more static scores than improvements, and this is only for males.
· ‘How skilled I feel’ is the only area without any decreasing scores.
