We would also like to thank the numerous individuals who have supported
us this year, including volunteers, and event participants who have worked
hard to raise sponsorship.
Thank youto our donors and supporters
The generous assistance of our donors and supporters is vital in enabling us to work with thousands of children and young people every year. We would
like to express our gratitude to the organisations which have supported Brathay over the past year, including:
My initial reason for supporting Brathay was to contribute to a charity
that I, and my employees, can connect to individually and also as a
company. We recognised the value of Brathays approach to helping
young people take positive steps and providing choices that can improve
their lives in the short term, and perhaps for the rest of their lives.

Introduction
Lakshmi Reddy took part in a 12-week programme, Make A Difference,
delivered in partnership with Preston Community College. Here she
describes her experiences.
Make A Dierence (MAD) ocuses on making a dierence to ourselves
and our communities. We like to see people rom dierent ethnic origins
become closer to one another, and we encourage people to aim or their
personal goals.
As part o the programme we went on a residential at Brathay Hall. I was
so nervous, as I wasnt really close with anybody in the group. It elt like I
had a box o butteries in my stomach. On the weekend we did the high
ropes course, went in a whaler boat and had a camp fre. The views at
Brathay made me eel like my mood was upliting and light, like there was
hope, and peace was amongst us. The residential made us stronger as a
team, and we worked together better, making our ideas work. It made us
one - it was astounding.
The programme has had a great impact on me, and given me many things
that I will use in other aspects o my lie. I communicate with others much
more easily, and my confdence has grown. I would defnitely recommend
a Brathay programme to other young people. It takes your skills and
confdence to another level, and gives you an experience dierent rom
your usual surroundings. The programme also helped me to ace my
ears, and changed the way I think and solve problems. My butterieshave gone!
The MAD group is still meeting and has become part o a national
leadership programme called Youth o Today. They will soon be meeting
up with other youth leadership groups rom all over the UK.

A year of growth
2009/2010 has been an exceptional year or Brathay. Having worked solely
rom our Cumbrian base or over 60 years, last year we set up ve additional
community teams, in the North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humber,
West Midlands and London. This has enabled us to extend our approach
to working with young people: we are now working with them over much
longer periods, and combining residential programmes at Brathay Hall in
Cumbria with targeted youth work within communities. This huge change
has been made possible by a grant rom the Department or Children,
Schools and Families, rom their Youth Sector Development Fund.
As always, we are helping some o the most disadvantaged, isolated and
vulnerable children and young people. By working with them in theirhome communities, as well as taking them to Cumbria, we are able to
have a much greater impact on their lives. We can now dedicate more
time to helping each young person to identiy what they have learned
rom their experiences, and to decide how to use that learning to help
them make positive changes in their lives.
The ollowing pages o this report will give a snapshot o our work across
the country, describing the issues acing young people, and how Brathay
is helping them to tackle their problems.
Im a better person in myself, I keepout of trouble, Im more independent and
enjoy being out with my mates withoutcausing trouble.
As well as our traditional residential work using outdoor andcreative activities, we are now working with young people inthe communities where they live.

The cost o youth crime in Britain has been estimated at over 1 billion
a year. Entering the criminal justice system can trigger o a cycle o
disadvantage and exclusion which is extremely dicult to break. Brathay
works with young people to help them nd a way out, encouraging them
to raise their aspirations, and providing them with the skills and support
they need to move away rom crime.
OSIRIS is a personal and social development programme or young
people in the London Boroughs o Merton and Camden. We deliver
OSIRIS or London and Quadrant Housing Trust, which receives numerous
reports o serious incidents o anti-social behaviour by young people on
many o its estates. The programme aims to reduce anti-social and gang-related activity by young people, and to address residents perception o
young people as the main source o anti-social behaviour.
We are currently working with a group o young people rom Camden over
a year, using a combination o community-based work and residentials
at Brathay Hall. We have looked at goal setting, leadership, and issues
which aect the young peoples lives, such as carrying weapons. The
group is now beginning to examine the roles o agencies within the
criminal justice system, with the aim o creating their own independent
advisory group. This group will work with these agencies to ensure that
young people are given a voice within the system.
Results
The young people are responding very well to the programme, and this is
refected in the consistency o their attendance and an increase in participant
numbers (to the point where the programme is over-subscribed).
The group members are beginning to show considerable trust in each
other, allowing them to disclose serious issues in their lives, such as
violence and drug abuse by parents. The young people are responding
to these issues in a very mature manner and are providing mutual, non-
judgemental support to one another.
Case study
Oliver was identied as being at risk: he behaved well in school, but on
the streets it was a dierent matter - here he was getting into trouble with
the police.
Oliver has participated consistently in the programme and has taken on astrong leadership role amongst his peers. He has developed in condence
as the programme has progressed - he articulates his opinions to his
peers well, and has motivated the group and recruited new members.
Oliver demonstrated on the rst residential that hes a natural leader. He
is a positive role model or other members o the group. He presented
on OSIRIS to the Ujima Foundation, which unds the programme, and
answered the questions put to him really well. When asked where he
would be i he wasnt on the programme, he replied: I would be on the
streets, getting into trouble with the police. I was in danger o getting
excluded rom school, but now I eel confdent that I can achieve well.
Oliver would like to work or Brathay as a peer worker. Hes doing so wellthat the local community and amily members have told us o their pleasure
at his progress, and are ully supporting the work we are doing with him
and his peers. Oliver has really turned a corner, and is now concentrating
on his GCSEs. We are all anticipating that he will do very well.

Educational underachievement can disadvantage a young person or
lie. Young people who leave school with ew or no qualications are
more likely than their more-qualied peers to earn a low wage or to be
unemployed. This in turn can lead to crime, and the cycle o disadvantage
described on the previous page. Brathay works with young people both
in and out o school to build their condence and sel-esteem and raise
their aspirations, and to help them achieve recognised qualications such
as GCSEs or equivalents.
Oxford School is a large oundation comprehensive serving East Oxord.
About a quarter o its students have special educational needs or
disabilities, and a higher than average number receive ree school meals.The proportion o students or whom English is an additional language
is almost our times the national average. We worked with all students
rom the GCSE year group, regardless o academic ability, with the aim
o raising standards.
We used residential programmes linking outdoor challenges with
refection and review, to encourage each individual to re-energise and
ocus on what they needed to do to achieve as highly as possible. Much
o the review and refection ocused on how to overcome challenges,
give and receive support, set goals, and channel their energy positively
over the coming months. We also provided specic workshops such as
tips or dealing with exam stress.
Results
The young people reported having increased condence and motivation
or the uture, and eeling in a stronger position to make the right choices
to be successul back at home and in school.
Oxord School sta noticed positive changes in attitudes and behaviours
among the young people, and increased condence and sel-esteem.
They were also impressed with the level o rapport which quickly
developed between the pupils and Brathay sta.
Brathay has been working with Oxord School or two years now in a
partnership that is set to continue into uture academic years.
Raising attainment in schools
Students who sat their GCSEexaminations in 2009 made very goodprogress given their starting point.

Brathay helps young people to get involved in developing and improving
the services that matter to them. This could be ormally, through decision-
making structures such as youth advisory groups, or less ormally, or
example through coming together to campaign on an issue which is
important to them. We help young people to play an active part in their
communities and to make sure that their voices are heard.
Cumbria County Council has commissioned Brathay to engage young
people across the county and create opportunities or them to have a
voice. Our name or this project - thought up by a young person - is The
Big Shout.
We provide a wide variety o support or young people, including:
supportingYouthOpportunityFund panels:groupsof youngpeople
who allocate unding to projects led by young people
consultingyoungpeople:forexamplewehelped50youngpeopleto
have a say in what services Connexions should provide in Cumbria
enablingyoungpeopleto represent theircounty at regionalevents,
including a Government Oce North West conerence
helpingyoungpeopletocampaignonissueswhichareimportantto
them, both locally and nationally.
Outcomes
We have worked with over 700 young people in the last year. Some have
advised Cumbria County Council on policy development, and a major
local charity on its approach to work with young people. Some have been
selected and supported to sit on the national Childrens Rights Alliance
forEnglandYouthPanel.Over250youngpeopleattendedaneventto
celebrate The Big Shout, which was also attended by youth workers and
Council ocials.
There is still more to do to ensure young people have a voice, and our
plans or the next year include setting up youth councils in each district
o Cumbria, to ensure that young people are ully and airly represented
throughout the county.
Case study
We have been working with a group o boys rom Newman Catholic
School in Carlisle, who were not engaging well at school and were at risk
o exclusion. Following several school-based sessions with Brathay sta,
they were developing well as a group and behaving more positively. Some
o them chose to give up their own time to sit on a Youth OpportunityFund panel.
The group also came up with a mission: inspired by the loss o a ellow
student, they set out to raise money or cancer research by rowing the
length o Windermere. Recently they had an opportunity to practise, by
rowing the Bishop o Carlisle part o the way up the lake! In typical Big
Shout style, they took advantage o the opportunity to ask the Bishop
lots o questions and nd out more about him and his work.
Enabling young people to havea voice
Today I really had my point ofview heard. The Big Shout is abouthaving your say, being heard - and Ireally did that today.

Young peoples lives are hugely infuenced by adults, rom their parents
or school teachers, to childrens services sta at their local council or
volunteers who run the local youth club. Brathay works with adults in
all these contexts to help them to support young peoples positive
development, whatever the role they play in young peoples lives.
The Greater Manchester Challenge is a three year programme to
improve educational outcomes or young people in the area, delivered in
partnership between Government, schools, local authorities and all those
working to raise education standards. The communities served by schools
in Greater Manchester include some o the most deprived in the UK.
Brathay works with school sta in Greater Manchester to developcollaborative working and improve leadership skills in teams both
within and across schools. We work with sta both at Brathay Hall and
in Manchester, using a variety o techniques including group work,
psychometrics, 360 eedback, and individual coaching. Since starting
workwithGreaterManchesterChallengewehaveworkedwithstaffin35
schools across the area.

St Leonards Youth Centre is located in the very deprived Peel Road area
o Bootle in Merseyside. The centre attracts up to 70 young people aged
818 each week, many o whom are exposed to drugs and alcohol, anti-
social behaviour (as perpetrators or as victims) and violence, and have low
aspirations or their utures. St Leonards survives on minimal unding, and
is run mainly by local volunteers. None o the team has any ormal youth
work qualications, and they can struggle to respond to the complex
needs o the young people using the centre.
Brathay worked with the young people, and had a signicant positive
impact on them, but we agreed with St Leonards that sta development
was needed i the centre was to become really successul and sustainable.
We thereore delivered a one-day training event or their team. We used
exercises based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques and the
Belbin team roles model to help the team to develop a shared vision,
acquire new youth work skills, and identiy their individual strengths and
areas or development.
Results
The day was a great success, and brought 10 sta together as a team
or the rst time. They began to shape their vision or the centre, and
identied urther training needs to enhance their youth work practice.
They ended the day with a sense o being united and having a common
purpose.
We are continuing to work with the St Leonards sta team, and urther
training days are planned, including a trip to Brathay Hall, and sessions on
youth work skills and managing challenging behaviour.
Debra King, St Leonards Centre Manager, explains the impact o our work
with them. The sta training event that was delivered by Brathay was the
frst time we had come together as a team, to ocus on the bigger picture
and longer term direction o the club, and our present and uture training
needs. It was a great start to introducing the idea o training events, to
increase the skills as a team and on an individual level. The team really
enjoyed the day, and we all recognised that training will ultimately have
a positive impact on our work with young people. Thanks to Brathay we
have got the ball rolling.

The biggest challenge apprentices ace is to make a successul transition
rom the education system, where grades and results dene success, to
the world o work, where tting into the organisation is equally valued.
The personal skills and behaviours needed to be successul at work are
thereore as important to employers as ormal qualications and awards.
Brathay works in partnership with employers to support apprentices on
their rst steps into employment.
We have been working with UKSkills or over 10 years and are ocially
recognised as their Premier Training and Development Partner or Squad
and Team UK. In the last year we have ocused on helping the UK team
to prepare or the WorldSkills competition in Calgary. The team consistso young people aged 1821 who excel in particular skills, including
plumbing, restaurant service, landscape gardening and conectionery.
We use coaching and personal development techniques to support
individuals, as well as providing eedback to UKSkills on competitors
perormances.
Results
The success o our approach is proven by the outstanding results the
UK team achieved at WorldSkills in Calgary. The competitors earned a
antastic 3 gold medals, 6 bronzes and 14 medallions o excellence. The
team came 6th in the medal table and 7th in the world ranking: the UKs
best ever results.
Looking ahead, we are now working to help UKSkills achieve their goals
or WorldSkills London 2011: to be ranked one o the top ve countries
and to win at least 10 medals. We are also working strategically with
UKSkills to support the long term development o excellence within the
UK vocational educational and teaching sector.

Fundraising
Brathays work with children and young people rom all backgrounds,
especially those who are particularly vulnerable or disadvantaged,
requires support in many orms rom a wide variety o organisations and
individuals. Without their help, we could not reach the thousands o
young people who benet rom our programmes.
We have traditionally received the majority o our unding rom grant-
making trusts, and their continuing support is invaluable to us. We also
seek donations and support in other ways: particularly through events
and corporate partnerships.
Events
The Brathay Windermere Marathon was originally planned as a one-o
event to celebrate Brathays 60th anniversary, but it was such a success
and so many runners asked us to repeat it, that we decided to make
it an annual event! Along with the increasingly high-prole Brathay 10
Marathons in 10 Days challenge, this is now our main undraising event,
and generated sponsorship income o 73,263 in 2009/2010.
We have also developed an exciting new event, RowRunner, in which
teams o competitors race each other and the clock to row 20 miles on
Windermere and run up three o the peaks around the lake. The rst
race will take place in September 2010 and we hope that RowRunner will
become an annual event ater that.
Corporate partnerships
Throughout 2009/2010, Brathays relationship with Vestas, leaders in
modern energy, has developed into a valued partnership, with both
organisations working together to improve outcomes or young people
and their communities. Vestas now oers opportunities or its employees
to support Brathay, and ultimately change the lives o many vulnerable and
disadvantaged young people. An example o this support is RowRunner
2010: in addition to sponsoring the event, Vestas has entered two teams
o sta, hoping to win the RowRunner trophy!
Howard Sloane, Head o People and Culture at Vestas, explains more:
Our sponsorship support or Brathay is not aimed at developing our sales
pipeline - it is about our mutual interest in building a positive uture. It is
not surprising thereore that there are clear similarities between Brathay
and Vestas in our values and so or Vestas, our collaboration works at
many levels within our business. Globally, the renewable energies sector
is committed to sustainability with particular ocus on business ethics.
We thereore ully support Brathay in its ventures and are proud to be
associated with this organisation.
Running marathons can be tough but when youvegot an event that runs like clockwork, marshalls who arefriendly and supportive, aid stations that are well stocked,scenery that is superb and a setting to die for, then itdoesnt seem hard at all.

Brathay Annual Review 2009/2010
Looking forward
Our vision is o a society in which all children and young people ull
their potential. We aim to transorm the lives o young people, especially
those who are at risk o dropping out o mainstream society. We raise
aspirations, develop positive attitudes, and empower young people to
make a positive contribution to their communities.
The establishment o our community teams means that young people
rom across the country are now beneting rom our unique integrated
programmes. We are working with some o the most vulnerable young
people, in their home communities and at Brathay Hall in Cumbria,
tackling a wide range o issues as described in this report. We are also
working with adults who work with young people, improving their skills in
achieving positive outcomes.
Looking orward, alongside our continuing work with children and young
people and adults, 2010/2011 will see some exciting developments
or Brathay. Research and evaluation has always been a key part o our
mission, and we have created a new post to lead this. This will enable us to
understand the unique Brathay Way, improve our practice, and develop
into a learning organisation, using our ndings to inorm strategy,
business development, marketing and undraising.
Young people are at the centre o everything Brathay does, and we put
them at the heart o our strategy and operations. Our latest commitment
is to establish a young peoples board, which will engage in key decisions
about our activities with young people, enhancing the eectiveness oour programmes. This new initiative will take the involvement o young
people in the running o our organisation to a new level.
I would like to thank all the individuals and organisations that have
supported, and continue to support, Brathays work with children and
young people. When Francis C Scott ounded Brathay 64 years ago,
he wanted to give young people opportunities to exercise genuine
responsibility and to learn to develop their abilities. This mission has
never been more relevant than in todays society, and we continue to work
hard to inspire young people to lead positive and successul lives.
