  1. Transforming Communities

  2. Integrated Youth Support Service • Motivate the Estate is part of IYSS and works closely with all other 7 services which include: • YOS • YPDAT • Connexions • Targeted Youth Support • FIP • PEIP • Teenage Pregnancy

  3. Motivate the Estate • Motivate the Estate is a community transformation programme that brings together professionals, community members and young people in a series of personal development training and coaching sessions, to support and encourage positive change within communities.

  4. The Youth at Risk Programmes • Coaching for Success (CfS) for young people in schools not realising their full potential. Young people attended a three day training workshop, followed by a six months of coaching • Choices for young people Not in Education Employment or Training (NEET)or at risk of NEET. Young people attended a three or four day training workshop followed by six months coaching • Coaching for Communities (CfC) for young people most at risk through involvement in the criminal justice system, anti-social behaviour, gang related activity or who are registered with any statutory agency. Young people attend a five day residential followed by nine months of coaching and support • The programmes work on the principle that ‘it takes a whole community to raise a child’ and so alongside young people’s support, adults were trained to strengthen the positive change within communities.

  5. Motivate the Estate Outcomes • Motivate ran a series of personal development trainings over 3 years which included professionals, members of the community and young people the aim being to transform communities in this case the Woodgrange Drive Estate & St Luke’s Ward by raising aspirations and challenging the ‘nothing ever changes attitude’ • The Coaching for Success programme ran in 4 schools in Southend, during this time 72% of pupils improved their predicted GCSE grades for English, Maths & Science.  Negative incidents recorded by the school significantly reduced for the majority of the group (54%) and 59% improved their attendance. • One of most successful programmes was the coaching for Communities which involved a six day intensive residential for 25 of the hardest to reach young people in Southend .  These young people were coached by a volunteer for nine months.  At the end of the programme 71% of young people who participated in the CfC programme and who were at risk of becoming NEET remained in Education • 68% of young people who took part in Coaching for Communities remained partially or fully engaged in the programme for the full nine months.
