• This year 12 young people have achieved vocational qualifications in woodwork technology.
## Vocational skill straining centre
Over the course of this year, we have spent many hours training and much funds with the aim of becoming City & Guilds registered so that we can train our participants and further participants to leave the club with a City & guilds registered vocational certificate. We have built units to train participants in; Woodwork Horticulture 3D design Animal care Bike repair and building Cooking Life skills Clay modelling Use of specified machinery – 3d routers, Laser cutters and 3d printers
So far we have enrolled limited participants into this but the aim is to open up to the community and provide training to people who don’t have the option of doing training regularly
## Cycle Club
We have also trained approximately 30 participants ino the management and care of bikes including repairing cycles. We have had 45 participants in the cycling and exercise element of the cycle club
The young people have learnt the following new skills : **Social** - improving communications, peer and family relationships, the latter with parents and grandparents, and managing risk taking whilst having fun. **Health** - improving physical, mental, emotional and sexual health with focus on substance use, eating, exercising, stress and anxiety.
**Identity** - developing awareness of, and strengthening, spiritual, personal, political and social identity through self-assessment and exploration.
**Team Work** - understanding group development, dynamics and roles and being able to build, lead and contribute to teams.

## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
We report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 8 and 9.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the Charity's Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit concerning any such matters.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:-
1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act;
- - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
- have not been met
2. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
