I am absolutely delighted and proud to welcome you to this year’s Impact Statement covering the activities of Ospreys in the Community.
Enthusiastic and empathetic leadership has created a climate where members of staff were well prepared to hit the ground running when restrictions, following the recent difficulties we all faced, were lifted.
I am incredibly proud that we as Trustees were able to contribute to and fully endorse our new Five Year Strategy, consisting of three ambitious pillars. Our staff will carry out a wide range of programmes that will impact on so many people and across communities that make up the Ospreys Region. These you will find in this Impact Statement and I am certain you will be impressed by their scale, breadth, and ambition.
It is particularly impressive that we have now reached our full complement of staff and we continue to increase our partnerships, often the result of organisations’ approaching OITC to work together.
We as Trustees are certain that there is more to come from our organisation and so in commending this Statement to you, I would urge you to continue to follow our journey and engage with us.
Sincerely,
Karl Napieralla Obe
OITC Chair

This scheme is invaluable. The children have 100% benefited from the Bouncing Back Plus programme. The intervention was delivered in a fun manner both in class and outdoors playing rugby. The children were always happy and looking forward to the sessions.

TEACHER FEEDBACK
TACKLE is an Education & Employability programme working with young people aged 12 – 16 with the aim to improve life skills, leadership, softer skills and a broader understanding of further Education and Employment – who are at risk of being not in employment, education or training.
“I’ve learned from TACKLE how important teamwork is and how it can affect your performance by not communicating and listening effectively.”
“TACKLE has built up my self-esteem and I'm now more comfortable in a bigger environment, not just my group of friends.”
“I’ve now understood through TACKLE how important communication and listening is and how it can change a person and understanding in school.”
TACKLE has re-engaged the disengaged learners and provided bespoke learning opportunities alongside the more 'traditional' curriculum, helping develop learners’ with teamwork skills. Strong relationships are being developed, a wide variety of individual, pair and group work activities support learner engagement during delivery. The use of additional speakers has also strengthened delivery.

We thoroughly enjoyed the TRY PI programme. The kids really engaged with each module and every session we had with Kayleigh was amazing. Thank you so much!
