: Chairperson’s Introduction : As we enter our 19th year as a local education charity the demand for our services is : unprecedented. From the success of our education services to the essential service iF provided by our Community Transport scheme, we continue to be exceptionally busy. 4 As Chair of the Board of Directors | wish to thank the whole staff team and all our . volunteers for their dedication to all the charity strives to achieve. . This year the charity made the decision to further invest in our commitment to the E community by purchasing a piece of land for use as a forest school. The land forms iL part of the old Crown Green Bowls Club in Melton Mowbray, which with dwindling i: membership had ceased to be operational. In partnership with the Indoor Bowls Club, 4 we looked at how the site could be kept in community use and as a green space. : The benefit of learning outdoors through the use of Forest schools is widely known : and for the Hub this would be a new opportunity to support our high need learners. : Later in the report we have dedicated a whole section to how the Forest School came | together. The new site allows our Engage team to widen their offer as well, with a new : SEND (Special Educational Needs) group having already been commissioned for the A next academic year. Our Holiday Activities scheme this year significantly increased its service, taking young people to sites and trips they otherwise may not be able to experience. We are proud to invest any surplus the charity makes back into these wonderful experiences. : Our lottery funded Engage project has completed its first year of additional funding and we are pleased to report that the team has secured two contracts which will hopefully move the project into a cost-matching position. This maintains the service in # the community but also reassures the National Lottery of the financial stability and demand for the service going forward. a The Board of Directors has remained stable this year and shows the commitment of us all to supporting the charity for the long-term. I myself have been on the Board since its inception and it is so rewarding to see young people who came to us for education : in the early years now being in productive jobs both locally and nationally. As a Board we are proud of you all. : My final thanks as usual has to go to the grant givers who every year support our ideas | and services. The Melton Learning Hub would never have developed to the level of a service it currently offers without your support. In particular my thanks go to: B The Community Fund of the National Lottery - for continued support of Engage | Samworth Brothers for their supply of sandwiches to the centre and their community s action day down at the new Forest School.

The directors, who are the trustees for the purpose of charity law, a who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 7. It | is our policy to undertake ongoing risk assessments and take such measures as are : ofnecessary the publicto who ensurevisit the our healthpremisesand andsafetyare ofinvolved staff, volunteers,in our work. families and members ,

Organisational Structure

: Board of Directors is responsible authority for decision making of the charity. The Board meets every other month and receive a monthly profit and loss update. The : Business Manager also receive a monthly update on the charity's activity. Sarah Cox is the Business Manager and Lucie Larke is the Operational Manager. Together both : Managers have delegated authority for day-to-day activities. Alison Smith left the charity in December 2025 and Naomi Bindloss is the new the Finance Officer for the charity.

: Working together : The Melton Learning Hub is in a strong position in relation to our assets and therefore : we work collaboratively to support other local charities. An example of this is the use : of our site by MENCAP for their Summer scheme. We do not charge for this as they : meet our charitable aims in the work they do with young adults with learning difficulties. ; Through our foodbank work we support Oasis Daycare and Brownlow School : Wellbeing Hub, ensuring young people across the town have access to food. This year 5 we have purchased a small piece of land in partnership with the Indoor Bowls Club. : This land will be developed as a forest school for the use of all community groups in i the town. Working with MENCAP we have been able to make the site totally accessible : to wheelchair users, ensuring everyone gets to enjoy the outdoor activities we can : offer, / Achievements and Performance : How do we measure our performance : As a charity we measure our success in the following ways: / * Feedback from schools. Each year we seek feedback from schools about ; how we have met their requirements and how we could improve our | service. 7 e Number of qualifications we achieve for learners- we monitor this to : identify challenges and areas for improvement in service delivery. : * Feedback from young people attending our social activities and LCC for | delivery of HAF. For HAF in particular we have an annual review looking at what we could further deliver for LCC (Leicestershire County Council) e Community transport seeks feedback from both its drivers and members of : the community who use our service. These comments are regularly put out : on social media to further promote the service. ' e We monitor demand for different subjects and days to adjust our delivery : model accordingly.

i Alternative Education - Shortlisted for NCFE Centre of the YEAR : This year the team was exceptionally proud to be shortlisted for NCFE Centre of the : Year. The work the team does often goes way beyond the delivery of formal : qualifications. We recognise many of the young people who come to us are not : emotionally in a position to learn and require support and guidance to help them : Company Number = 07404469 Registered Charity Number = 1139747 Page |7

Forest School

When we first visited the site, it was wildly overgrown and had not been used for a : number of years. We were concerned the site would require major investment but after an inspection by a local builder the charity felt more optimistic about the proposition. : The site has a wide variety of trees and will be used for numerous activities. Using a i: grant from Melton Borough Council the site was made safe and accessible with ramps : for wheelchair users. The first two pictures show what we were faced with. The site is adjoined by a brook that also required dredging.

: Student Achievements ; The Hub is registered with NCFE as its exam board and we are proud of the ongoing : achievements of our learners. The qualifications they achieve give access to further : professional qualifications and college courses. Each year we develop further skills for 4 the learners to develop. As an example, construction has expanded to offer lessons in ; stabbing, scaffolding, plastering and rendering. All of these skills are beneficial for their ‘ future study and work, Each year the students undertake a project in the Summer | Term, which embeds all they have learnt through the year. i Preparation for Life and Work i This is our largest group of qualifications and we are always looking for new units to A teach. The qualification ranges from Entry Level 3 through to Level 2 and as such 7 can cater to a wide spectrum of ability. It also allows learners to progress during their ; time with us. There has been an increasing trend for learners to come on shorti term placements from school, called a 6-week re-set. This has therefore seena : growth in Exploring qualifications rather than full awards. The learner still : achieves and has something to show for their time with us before re-entering

: We encourage you all to look at students work by following the link: https://www.facebook.com/melton learninghub/videos/326961235003371 : The summer HAF this year took on a different format. The team wanted to give young : people opportunities they might not otherwise have, Therefore, each Wednesday we | took the group of 30 children on a day trip; a double HAF session. This was done at : no cost to the families. The group went to Twycross Zoo, The Black Country Museum iP and the seaside. Some of the children attending had never seen the sea before. We : continue to be a highly regarded HAF scheme and the staff seem to enjoy it as much as the children. The challenge next year will be how can we make the scheme and the : trips even bigger and better. a Company Number = 07404469 Registered Charity Number = 1139747 Page [14
