cROsLINKs DOVER a Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees'Annual Report for the Year Ended 31" December 2024 Our Lead Youth Worker, Rebecca Meredith and the senior members have been continuing to work alongside Dover District Council, Kent County Council and Kent Police. This has been an exciting year as we have seen our project grow and our new premises at 13 Sheridan Road, Dover be revived from a redundant hairdressing salon to a vibrant hub for the community, especially for our young people. Our group sessions, after school/homework clubs and our youth activity sessions, have been well received and we have a number of new members. We also have a fully equipped music studio donated by KCC. the excitement of being able to use this is very evident and empowering to all involved. During these sessions we continue with advice, support and reassurance . we also do organised activities, which include, cooking, music, computers, crafts and games. Our plan for the current year is to increase our 'footprint' in the community and provide access for minority clubs along with additional group sessions for the teenagers. It is highly evident now that we are able to offer more sessions that the incidences of antisocial behaviour have decreased. The working relationship that we have developed with Dover District Council is also important and continues to enable us to grow and provide vital support in this area of high deprivation. Once again, a very big thank you, to all those of you, both individuals and organisationslbusinesses, who have given grants and donations during the course of the year. Without your support we could not provide this amazing resource. The Board of Trustees. 31" December 2024.
