2013 has been a busy year once again at Terminal One, as always, the staff, volunteers and young people continue to show why the project is such a great asset to the local community.

Dance 2013
Streetdance
Our senior dancers had the opportunity to participate in workshops delivered by Chuck and Turbo from Sky 1s Got to Dance. The young people had a brilliant time learning new skills working with some great dancers.
On-going workshops are being delivered and sustained weekly for young people in Terminal One and Glenlee Primary School. These groups are run by tutors, volunteers and peer educators who were once participants in the streetdance groups. Once again the Streetdance Showcase brought together dancers from all of the groups to perform to an audience of over 200 family, friends and members of the local community at the East Kilbride Village Theatre. Other performances this year have included the Family Man Day, High Blantyre Fun Day and other local community events. The senior dancers also had the opportunity to participate in workshops delivered by Chuck and Turbo from Sky 1s Got to Dance. The young people had a brilliant time learning new skills and watching the professionals perform.
Tutor Training
The tutor-training programme has once again been a highlight this year with weekly workshops being delivered to staff and volunteers who, in turn, deliver workshops for young people. This training allows them the opportunity to share skills, knowledge and experiences of working with streetdance groups. They are also given the opportunity to produce a large-scale dance show, as well as performing in it. All of our tutors are young people, who have been participants and have progressed, gaining relevant experience and training that has enabled them to secure employment as dance tutors elsewhere. We pride ourselves in our ability to provide opportunities for young volunteers and view this as a pathway to employment and further education. Special congratulations go to volunteers and young people who successfully completed the RegenFX Youth Work Training course.

Express Yourself
Workshops have been delivered throughout the South Lanarkshire area in partnership with local youth organisations, community groups and schools.
Drama
Drama workshops and performances have also continued across South Lanarkshire in partnership with other youth organisations and schools. The Youth Theatre continues to grow and flourish with the group participating in weekly workshops and performing regularly. Performances this year have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the young people being responsible for designing and making the set, as well as performing in the production. The youth theatre also gives young volunteers and peer educators a chance to lead workshops with the support of a highly trained and experienced worker.
Thank You!!!
Finally, thank you once again to the young people and staff who have volunteered their time and effort to the Express Yourself project. Without your commitment and assistance a lot of the work carried out this year would not have been possible.

Current Groups
Youth groups and drop in programmes are currently running in Terminal One and in the outreach programme delivered in Hillhouse, Coatshill, Burnbank and Larkfield. These groups run throughout the year and provide services for young people aged 8 to 18 years. Programme activities this year included another weekend residential experience to Dalguise where the young people had an amazing time raft building, tree climbing, abseiling and many more action packed activities. The youth clubs also organised a Burns Supper night where they sampled haggis, neeps and tatties, recited poems and danced the Gay Gordons. Thank you to our piper Mr Macis who volunteered his time and wonderful talents to this event. RegenFX continued to fund the football group in 2012/13. This group gives young people from local communities the chance to meet at weekends and play competitive matches against other local teams. The project has a regular attendance of 20 young people.
Highlights
The school holiday programme was attended by 64 young people and activities included a visit to Ayr beach, M&Ds, Laser Quest and the Dogs Trust. Thanks to the Urban Adventure Project the young people were given the chance to take part in outdoor activities which included climbing, biking and caving. Our main events this year has been our Tea and T1 event and the community clean up. The events were organised by the young people who attended the summer programme. Thank you to all the community members who attended and supported these events.

What A Year!
It has been a privilege to introduce our participants to special places both closer to home and throughout Scotland where I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our project and Climbing wall staff for contributing to our achievements and the overall success of the project to date.

Interactive Arts
Interactive Arts provides young people with a variety of creative Music and Digital Media opportunities, through the provision of state of the art equipment and the support of expert staff.
As more engineers become aware of the surprising quality that can be achieved, in such modest circumstances, Im sure studio activity can be increased further in the coming year.
Music
Another great year for vocal, drum, guitar and piano lessons. Our tutors continue to provide a fantastic range of affordable lessons for all ages. This year, our pupils performed a Christmas concert in Terminal One, in aid of Nordoff Robbins music charity, raising over 200, so well done to all those involved!

Rolling Programme
1,169 Users of our Weekly Rolling Programme This is the average number of young people using Terminal One based services on a weekly basis.
Regular Volunteers
88 Regular Volunteers Although the number of volunteers this year is down by 20% from 109, it is well worth noting that the number of volunteer hours committed across the projects is up by 20% to 1200. As alluded to in Alan MacDonalds report, our ability to retain volunteers is excellent, this no doubt attributable to the support provided and the emphasis given by Alan and other staff to providing a quality placement.

Although an 11% drop overall in comparison to last year, Im sure youll agree, a healthy number!

Attendance Figures
1,060 Audience Attendance Figures Representing a 34% increase on last years figure. It was great to see the return of the Interactive Arts Christmas Concert in Terminal One with our young musicians getting a chance to perform, many of them for the first time to friends and family, we will hopefully be able to make this an annual event. Express Yourself dance and drama also increased their audience figures over last years congratulations to all concerned!

One-Off Events
1,525 Participants at One-Off Events We have a significant decrease of 54% this year. This is mainly due to reduced climbing wall activity as our outdoor activity team focused mainly on the lottery funded Urban Adventure Project. The wall is also a relatively expensive activity to operate and with general funding levels being lower than in previous years demand was noticeably reduced. In the foreseeable future, it seems unlikely that the wall will remain viable without external funding, we will pursue in the coming months.

Volunteering
Between 2012-2013, our volunteers donated over 1200 hours of their own time to Terminal One, beating last years total by more than 200 hours. We are so thankful for all your great support. ...Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.
I am proud to report that we were able to retain 21 volunteers from the previous year and 18 of our volunteers this year have undertaken RegenFxs Basic Youth Work Training as part of their personal development plan. 8 of our volunteers have taken on paid work with Terminal One. Throughout the year, our volunteers have donated over 1200 hours of their time to Terminal One, beating last years total by more than 200 hours. Being able to see the positive impact you make is one of the reasons people choose to volunteer. Sometimes, volunteering can be incredibly demanding and a real test of character. When things dont work out according to plan, we might struggle to see, or even begin to question, how much of a difference were actually making. Not only do I see the difference our volunteers make to the service, but also the difference they have made within themselves. Over the course of the year, these remarkable people have achieved great personal growth. I have had the privilege of witnessing powerful personal journeys where young people have flourished as their confidence has grown through their volunteering experience, becoming valuable role models to other service users. Our volunteers are an inspiration to the young people that they work with. So much so, that our junior group insisted on doing something good for the community. This resulted in them working on two community kindness projects during the summer, which caught the attention of our local newspaper. Their kindness was so contagious that when they carried out the community clean up, local residents turned up to lend a hand. Our volunteers have the power to bring the community together. I would like to thank the organisations in the community that have helped us support our volunteers this year, such as Voluntary Action South Lanarkshire, RegenFx, South Lanarkshire College, Home School Partnership and Community Links. I would also like to thank First Direct for their extremely generous donation to the youth centre. On behalf of Terminal One, to all our volunteers, thank you for your outstanding dedication and service.
