Dawlish Action for Youth Trustees Report 2023-2024 The trustees are pleased to present the annual report and accounts for the year 2023-24. The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis, in accordance to the requirement of the Charity Commission under section 144 (21 of the Charities Act 2011. We are grateful to Mr Graham Bird, Teign Accountancy Service, for his independent examination of the accounts and his report is included. Chairfs Foreword Dawlish Action for Youth {DAYI has signed up to a new partnership agreement with SPACE, which will ensure we can keep delivering the high-quality young people services at Red Rock Youth Centre. DAY has the responsibility of the youth clubs on the evenings, whilst SPACE provides Chances Educational Support Services at the Centre during the day. We are very grateful forthe continued support, advice and training made available to us from SPACE and VOYC Devon. This allows us to make sure our staff and volunteers are fully up to speed in the many aspects involved in youth work. This training also allows for personal development and progression for those who would like a career path in youth work. During this year, like us all, DAY has been hit hard by the cost of living crisis. Costs have continued to rise, but we are still committed to provide all the same services the local community has come to expect from DAY. We would like to thank everyone who has donated financially, with time, with resources, and with support. Your continual help is gratefully received. Chloe, our lead youth worker, along with the support of the deputy lead, staff, adult volunteers and trustees, has kept things moving forward, making sure all the young people have not missed out on any of the activities provided by the youth centre. We also thank Becks Tallamy for her efficient management of the payroll. Special thanks go to Denise Robinson, who outside of her youth work for DAY helps organise all the party bookings throughout the year on a voluntary basis. This helps bring in much needed funds forthe charity, praise also has to be given to both Denise and Chloe for the continual applications for funding and grants as these funds are absolutely vital forthe continuation of DAY.
