AUCKLAND YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] MARCH 2024.

1.0 Background.

1.1 Auckland Youth and Community Centre was originally built in 1962, officially opened on the 14[th] February 1964, as part of Central Government’s development of youth facilities (particularly targeting young men) following the publication of the Lady Albemarle report. The Centre was one of six “Boys’ Clubs” in the North East of England. A sports hall extension was added in 1995, funded by the National Lottery.
1.2 Auckland Youth and Community Centre Limited is affiliated to the Durham Association of Boys and Girls Clubs, which is affiliated to UK YOUTH and NABGC (The National Association of Boys and Girls Clubs). Auckland Youth and Community Centre Limited is also affiliated to NE YOUTH which is affiliated to UK YOUTH.
1.3 The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for meeting the organisation’s legal duties, ensuring that it is properly managed, promoting good practice in all activities and ensuring the quality of all services delivered.
1.4 The overall responsibility for the management of the Centre sits with the Board of Trustees. On a day-to-day basis the Delivery Manager will assess and identify any health and safety issues. Any such issues are recorded on a Centre Management Log Form. All forms are processed through the Centre Administrator who will initially discuss with a nominated member of the Board of Trustees.
1.5 At the start of the financial year, our new Delivery Manager, Tracy Moore had only been in post for 2 months. Tracy and the delivery team have worked hard to increase the number of people using the centre. This hard work has been supported by Jon Kelly who has worked diligently to increase the external hire of the centre. Whilst we are not yet able to report that centre attendances have returned to pre-pandemic levels.
What we do know is that there is much more accurate recording of data, which is shown in our income. Additionally from the 1[st] of April 2024 we will be introducing a new management information system.
1.6 On the 14[th] February 2024, we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee. This is a great achievement and demonstrated the longevity of the organisation. A plaque was unveiled by Alderman John Lethbridge and Alderman June Lee. The day included an afternoon tea for invited guests, including past and present staff and volunteers. In the evening there was a family disco and buffet. In total over 170 people attended both events.

Whilst the attendance figures have not yet returned to pre-pandemic level.

The above figures do not include the numbers from the Crisis Intervention Project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, run in partnership with Woodhouse Close Church.

The numbers are also on the increase post COVID, as is our unrestricted income due to the external usage of the centre. Use of Hayley’s Room has increased through a growing number of training courses, plus regular bookings of the sports hall by the table tennis group and junior rugby. Jon Kelly continues to co-ordinate the external bookings and he has been ably supported by colleagues from the Delivery Team, who made themselves available to allow access to the centre.

Quotes

Young people often say the youth club is our safe space.
We have fun ad meet up with our friends.
We love the food at the youth club and sitting together with our friends eating.
The youth Club gives us something to do, better than being bored at home.
I like going to the Button Group because I feel comfortable there. I get on well with Laura and Natalie and they do good things, and I really like singing Elvis on the karaoke.
Button Group parent. I feel like E has really settled in the group and he enjoys going. He has made new friends there and his confidence has grown since joining. Thank you to everyone involved.
Member of the Man Cave Group. I really enjoy the group. It gives me something social to do and gets me out of the house a couple of hours a week as I can’t travel far and I only go out

3.0 Business Development.

(Information provided by Nadine Kipling, Company Secretary and Samantha Townsend, Volunteer Coordinator).

3.1 Introduction and overview.

2023-24 has been another successful year for Auckland Community Centre Limited. We are planning with renewed confidence and an eye on longer-term sustainability.

Before continuing, it is worth pausing for a moment to appreciate the hard work and commitment of the individuals, groups and partner organisations far too many to mention, who have helped us in this healthy position.

3.2 Key Facts and Figures

This year we have seen a 15% drop in our income to £429,122, which is a more normal reflection than last year’s unusually high figure. Our expenditure increased by 6% to £461,199, which is in line with inflation and less than our predicted expenditure. The overall loss was £32,077 and less than the anticipated £60,743.

3.3 Financial Governance

We are pleased to report another good year of financial governance, which is, at least in part, the reason why we can report a healthy financial position this year. Examples of good governance, overseen by AYCC’s Trustees and managers, include:

Ongoing scrutiny of our financial activities, for example reference to our financial policy, whilst regularly checking that the policy remains fit for purpose.
Monthly meetings of our Finance Monitoring Group, chaired by our Business Development Manager, to review the Centre’s most significant grant applications, grant monitoring, evaluation and reporting; general fundraising progress; income generation planning which is supported by an in-depth spreadsheet of our grant pipeline; and finally, any key issues that require resolving.
Adherence to a robust reporting structure- including clear links between the Board of Trustees which meet on the first Thursday of the month and the Finance Monitoring Group which meet on the second Tuesday of the month.
Detailed recording of progress through the grants pipeline, which is updated on an ongoing basis, with regular updates issued to Trustees.

3.4 Staff Updates

Our business development team continues to work hard, and we are pleased to welcome Helen, a volunteer to our numbers who is helping with research for funding bids.

3.5 Volunteer Coordinator

The volunteer coordinator came into post with funding from Community Foundation Tyne and Wear in November 2022. Further funding to continue the programme from November 2023 was secured from the National Lottery’s Know Your Neighbourhood Fund. One of the first priorities of the post was to begin tracking volunteers' contribution to the organisation and the financial year 23/24 was the first full year of data collected to demonstrate how many hours were contributed by the volunteers. For the purpose of the figures below please note that the Trustees are included in the numbers for the records and the p/hr. nominal financial value given to a volunteer hour is linked to the Living Wage Foundation’s real living wage which was increased in October 2023. In 2023/24 financial year an estimated 2655.6 hours were donated in volunteer time. This equates to £30,365.80.

What do our volunteers say SS April 23 “From my first contact with the Centre the staff have all been very helpful and extremely welcoming. I have been coming for a few weeks and already feel part of the team not like a volunteer which is important to me as I feel I can get stuck in as a youth worker” LW “July 23 in my life I felt I have been used, but at the Centre I feel useful”

3.6 Income Generation

It is important to note that once again, most of our income has been secured through successful grant applications to funders.

The grants we have secured this financial year are too many to mention within this section of the report. It goes without saying that all grants are extremely important to us, and each funder is rightly acknowledged in the accounts (see separate document).

Towards the end of 2023, it became apparent to the Finance Monitoring Group that securing grants for core funds is becoming even more challenging and all efforts of the core team was concentrated in that area of work. The Board discussed the situation at length and agreed if funding could not be secured, we would need to restructure the organisation as it would be impossible to continue spending at the current levels.

3.7 Business Plan

Following the extensive review of the Business plan, during 2022-23 our Business Development Manager and Business Development and Marketing Coordinator were supported by Raphaela Meucci (volunteer, with a background of business development and marketing) to develop a set of key priorities and a balanced score card of key actions. The balanced score is regularly reviewed by the Board of Trustees.

3.8 Partnerships

This year, once again, our business would not have been able to develop and grow without the fantastic support of many partners. These include:

Gaunless Gateway Big Local (GGBL) with whom we work very closely on many levels including project delivery, some of which is also funded by GGBL, and our provision of a management service to support GGBL staff team.
Networks and collaborations including a professionally facilitated peer-support group supported by Virgin Money Foundation (VMF) who like AYCC, benefit currently from grants from VMF’s Anchors’ Fund. Additionally, we have healthy working relationship with several joint projects that have emerged; with Youth Focus Northeast, the Northeast Youth Alliance, North East Youth, and Teesdale Stronger Together Youth Collective.
Durham University, with whom our excellent partnership continues. In 2022-23 we did not use their facilities because of other projects, however, in 2023-24 we have had two excellent interns working with us, Lily and Abby who produced some good work for us.

4.0 Strategic Financial Way Forward

For AYCC, 2023-24 has been another year during which we have continued to build upon our strengths, thereby remaining on track for a financially sustainable future. Some of the ways in which we have managed to do this include:

Beginning to examine how we may diversify income streams, to allow for a reduced dependence on grants. This has taken longer than planned due to the Covid pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis.
More focus on increasing unrestricted funds e.g. larger fundraising including delivery of corporate events perhaps with local partners.
Ongoing review of all contracts and costs associated with running the building.
Continued emphasis on marketing and promotion.

5.0 Building Fabric

5.1 The building has been maintained over the past 12 months, to ensure it meets all statutory and health and safety requirements. The building is also cleaned five days every week.
5.2 Long-term, our goal is a whole-centre refurbishment. Meanwhile, we have continued to identify works to improve the facilities. Key features of the building works carried out during the financial year have included the provision of disabled access to both the sports hall and youth entrance.
5.3 The trustees are currently planning to open up the large drop in area and old creche room. Additional works include the addition of more external light (more windows), and the building of a sports hall store.

6.0 Acknowledgements.

6.1 Over the past 12 months, the Board of Trustees has continued to remain steadfast in understanding its roles and responsibilities including its strategic direction.
6.2 The Board of Trustees also very much appreciate the hard work and dedication shown by all of its paid staff and volunteers in our delivery team. The team was ably managed by Tracy Moore. The quality of the services is of a very high standard.
6.3 As with our service delivery team, the Board of Trustees very much appreciates the hard work and commitment of our support staff, and volunteers ably managed by John Wiseman. Again, the quality of the work is of a high standard.
6.4 As the employing body for the Gaunless Gateway Big Local Partnership (GGBLP) staff. The Board of Trustees would like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment shown by members of staff, Barbara Slasor, Susan Graydon and Joanne Agnew.
6.5 Although it is always difficult to single out particular funders, the Board of Trustees especially wanted to mention the valued support of the National Lottery Community Fund, the Henry Smith Charity, the Bishop Auckland and Shildon Area Partnership and the Gaunless Gateway Big Local Partnership.
6.6 The Board of Trustees would also like to say a big thank you to all of the Centre’s other current funders (listed in our financial report) and other organisations who have supported its work over the past 12 months.
6.7 The Board of Trustees appreciates the support given to it through other means including the contribution of Simon Healey from Durham Association of Boys and Girls Clubs, Jon Niblo and Gemma Lockyer Turnbull from NE YOUTH.
6.8 The Board of Trustees wishes to acknowledge the support given to it by Durham County Council, particularly that given by our two local County Councillors, Joanne Howey and Cathy Hunt.
6.9 Finally, the Board of Trustees wishes to thank and recognise the hard work of both Debbie Richardson and Anne Ramshaw for overseeing the delivery of the crisis intervention work, across at the Church, which is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
