Developments and Achievements
I. YoLrth Club for ¢hlldrtn Aged 8-13
We launched a youth club for children aged 8- 13. in partnership with 'Your Trust..
The club offers a safe space for young people to play sports, parricipate in 3rts and crafts
and socialise. This initiative aims to support positive s¢xial en8a8ement for youth in our
community.
l Holiday Clubs
During the Easter and Summer holidays. we hosted fvlty booked holiday clubs with a range
of activities and lunch provided. The clubs We￿ primarily aimed at children eligible for free school
lunche5 but were open to all. We received positive feedbackfrom families on this service.
3. Art Course Funded by C3rtwhÈÈl Arts
With funding from 'Cartwheel Arts,. we ran a six-week Introductory cOu￿e in painting and drdwin&
Thè course was well attended, and we are planning to continue it nest year due to strong
interest from partlclpants.
Finandal Report
The Charity was able to generzte Sufficiènt funds for 5ts operational needs WTthout deplettng its
level of reserves below the level required by the resefves policy. Staff costs were, and continue to be,
the main outgoing for the Charity, particularly in the nursery. Wtthout the dedication of the paid
employees and the efforts of the volunteers, the A550ciation would not ￿ zble to deltver on tts
aims. The financial posr(ion remains stable and reserves are adequate for the tharity'5 need5.
TransartioNs and Finan¢ial Posrti
The financial position is set out in the Statement of Finanual Affair5 on page 6.
