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 Town 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).

capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as
independent, mature and responsible individuals.
Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social
welfare.
Advancing education.|
|---|---|
||Cambourne Youth Partnership continues to provide a range of
recreational and leisure time activities for young people in Cambourne.
Our activities are based from a permanent youth building (Cambourne
Soul) provided by Cambourne Town Council.
In partnership with Romsey Mill, Cambourne Youth Partnership
organises a range of local community-based young people’s clubs for
different age groups (year 6 to Year 13) and activity sessions (including
sports, arts and music in a well-equipped studio), detached youth work
sessions, and health and wellbeing learning opportunities.
Work in the local secondary schools provides additional, group and one-
to-one, educational and emotional support sessions to children and
young people at risk of not making good progress though their school life.
When possible, holiday clubs and trips are organised to enable young
people to have new experiences. These activities are subsidised for
some young people under the local ‘Holiday Activity Fund’ (HAF)
scheme.
The Cambourne Youth Partnership Trustees confirm that they have
complied with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, to have due regard to
The Charity Commissioners general and specific guidance on Public
Benefit.|
**Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
In addition to the Trustees, Cambourne Youth Partnership received regular help from a small but dedicated number of volunteers. In the 2024-25 year CYP benefited from the help of 10 volunteers (excluding trustees). Many volunteers have undertaken a youth work qualification managed by Romsey Mill.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
|**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|Cambourne Youth Partnership has maintained a range of activities during
2024-25 with the help of three part-time youth workers, along with
Romsey Mill’s Youth Development Team Coordinator and a range of
other volunteers, including CYP trustees.
Open access clubs and activities such as football have allowed issues
such as healthy relationships, career progression, sexuality, drugs and
alcohol, healthy eating, criminality, racial hatred and gender equality to
be explored.
A wellbeing café for young people continued on a weekly basis, creating
an informal space for young people who might be struggling with mental
or emotional wellbeing.
Young people have created artwork for display and also participated in a
photography competition, leading to winning photos being displayed in
the youth centre.
Day-trips and occasional residentials have been organised in school
holidays.
CYP are grateful for the financial support of the Cambourne Parish
Council in providing an annual grant of £30,000 for the financial year
2024-25. This grant is 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.|
