Recipient Org: Description Young People Frome (YPF) was created following the Mayor’s Youth Initiative in 1988 and is now a charity. Much of the work we do is in partnership with other local organisations, who work with us to help deliver our projects. Our work is about improving the life opportunities for children, young people and their families and we particularly target disadvantaged families. Our funding comes from a wealth of both local and national charities. These have included Frome Town Council, Frome Community Learning Partnership, Aster Communities, the Somerset Community Foundation, Frome Rotary, Somerset Crime Beat, Percy Billon, Frome Lottery, Frome Development Community Interest Company, Comic Relief, The big Lottery, Henry Hoare and many more. Young People Frome currently employs two members of staff, our coordinator is a qualified Youth & Community worker with 30 years experience of work with young people in all areas of youth work, project management and senior management including work in extended schools. Young People Frome supports voluntary and statutory agencies, to promote youth work and enable young people to have a voice & take part in youth activities We also offer support and expertise in setting up youth clubs. We have supported the Pod charity to set up a Youth club ( For young people with additional needs ) to get off the ground. We also publicise the opportunities that are available to young people via the Frome Active website www.fromeactive.org.uk). Young People Frome was involved in setting up the Frome Foyer Project for homeless young people, Frome Festival and the Christmas Extravaganza as well as consulting with young people and designing the play equipment in Mary Bailey playing fields. We were also involved in the development of skateboard parks in the town, Saturday Sport at the leisure centre, promoting the Duke of Edinburgh Award with young people, founding Music Mayhem (live music events for young people) and developing and building a Youth Café at Routes ( Mendip YMCA’s one stop shop for homeless and unemployed young people ) . Young People Frome also runs projects and activities which tackle youth unemployment including supporting young people in setting up their own social enterprises. In 2013 we worked with young people to run a series of markets which gave young people an opportunity to sell products that they had made, running alongside this was a mentoring program supported by The Frome Chamber of commerce. . We have worked with Aster communities & Frome College to deliver a social enterprise qualification to a group of young people. We are also a seeding organisation. Recently we have supported a local group in running a Children’s Festival .The festival has been a great success, with over a thousand visitors. The event brings together the wealth of community groups in Frome to put on a creative, active, inclusive and imaginative festival. This year the local cic have been able to apply for their own funding and they have been supported by a number of local and national charities to run the festival.
