REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMIThEE (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
AIMS AND OJECTIVES
We are a youth project within Northam Community Centre in Central Southampton,
providing open access youth settings for children aged 5-17.
Through our youth settings we cover a lot of topics that cover young people, such as healthv
living and lifestyles from support for bullying and mental and other health issues and we
celebrate numerous cultural event5 also. We a150 SUPPOrt a large number of children with
SEND needs.
Publlc Benefit Statement
All of our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
In shaping our objectives and planning our activities, the Management Committee has
considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit including guidance'Public
8enefit: Running a Charity (PB21'.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Thls flnanclal year we still have some remaining funds from the Southampton Lord Mayor
Charities, who raised £10,000 last year. Part of this funding helped us to continue running
our groups, especially as recent wage increases were not reflected In our runnlng-c05t
grants from SCC.
At the end of the last financial year, we also had enough money to run the girls, group,
which has been very successful. Young girls attend from across the central area, and some
are referred by their famlly practitioner wlthin the SCC Family Help Team.
We have also recelved a donatlon from Canford School, whlch has been put towards our
running costs. In addition, we are fortunate that Southampton City Council contlnues to
fund the core running costs of our project, and we are currently exploring joint grant
applications with Northam Community Link. Looking ahead, we hope to come under the
umbrella of Northam Communlty Link in the future, with the legal advice and help from
Womble Bond Dickson
We continue to receive support from the local police team, who come in to work with the
young people on Keep Safe sessions. Some of our young people have also taken part In flrst
aid courses. We were able to provide a weekend away at a PGL centre, which was
sponsored by Canford School.
We are also very fortunate to have a large number of volunteers within our project, whose
support is essential in helping us keep everything running.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
Prlnclple Fundlng Sources
The funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant funding and donations. As
a result of increasing constraints on the expenditure of local authorities and youth club
grant providers, the charity has to seek funding from a much broader 8roup of agencies.
Investment Pollcy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year. most of the charity's funds are
to be spent in the short-term so there are few funds for long-term investment. A review of
investment policies Is planned early in the new financial year.
Reserves Pollcy and Golng Concern
The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light
of the main rlsks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestrlcted
funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be six
months of the expenditure. The Management Committee is of the view that the charity is a
going concern.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Going forward our grant we get for the maln runnlng costs from SCC wlll be due to finish this
year so we are currently looking at 8ettln8 a large grant that could see us through for a few
years, looking at CIN or the Lottery grants. We are also looking at smaller grants to get the
Girls group funded again as well. We will continue to work closely with Northam Community
Link, Canford school along with our partners as well and promote the club.
