The members of Cambourne Youth Partnership elect an Executive Committee which is responsible for leading and managing the work of the charity. The Executive Committee meets at least twice a year, and normally three or four times a year. The Executive Committee takes responsibility for monitoring the activities undertaken by staff and volunteers and the outcomes and impact achieved. They receive regular reports from staff and volunteers on the children and youth work sessions, trips and special events. The Executive Committee is also responsible for overseeing policies and procedures including safeguarding, information sharing, health & safety. Finances and other resources are also managed by the Executive Committee, which receives regular finance reports from the Treasurer. The Executive Committee regularly reviews any major risks on an annual basis. Cambourne Youth Partnership works closely with Cambourne Parish Council (which funds some of our community work), Romsey Mill Trust (a leading charity working with children, young people and families across Cambridgeshire), Cambourne Church, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council (particularly the locality team).

Summary of the main Like many youthwork charities during this year, Cambourne achievements of the Youth Partnership was significantly affected by the Covid-19 charity during the year pandemic. Contact was maintained with as many young people as possible, often through online/digital media when face-toface contact was not allowed. When open-access clubs could not operate, youth workers maintained detached work and 1:1 support wherever possible. Youth workers spent some of the year on furlough either fully or partially.
Despite these challenges, Cambourne Youth Partnership has maintained a range of activities during 2020-21 with the help of three part-time youth workers, along with Romsey Mill’s Youth Coordinator and a range of other volunteers, including CYP trustees.
In the second half of the year, four targeted youth clubs were restarted as well as two football groups. These clubs and activities allowed issues such as healthy relationships, career progression, sexuality, drugs and alcohol, healthy eating, criminality, racial hatred and gender equality to be explored. A landscape gardening project enabled young people to develop their skills and enhance the area around the youth building.
CYP are grateful for the financial support of the Cambourne Parish Council in providing an annual grant of £30,000 for the financial year 2020-21, supplemented by a Covid grant from the District Council. These grants are all the more essential given the removal of universal/open access activities for young people formerly provided by the County Council, but now eliminated by funding cuts. The Locality Team youth workers offer some targeted one-to-one support to young people in specific need, flagged up to them by the CYP staff team.
