The Charity was previously registered as Denton Young People Project (charity number 1093104) on 20 December 2000 and changed its name to better reflect the nature of the work of the project. Objectives and actlvltles The main objectives of the charity are to promote the benefits of the inhabitants of Denton and the surrounding areas in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne (hereinafter called the 'the community,), without the distinction of sex, sexual orientation, ra or political or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants, local authorily, voluntary sector and other organisations in a wmmon effort to provide facilities and seNices to advance the social education. well-being and life- experiences of the said inhabitants. The Trustees ¢onfiryn that they have complied with the duty in se¢tion 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charily Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing Denton Youth & Community Project's aims and objectives and in planning the future activilies. In particular the Trustees considered how planned adivities would contribute lo the aims and objectives. The main objectives for the year were to continue and build upon the serViS already on offer. Those services include the Mature Action Group for over 50,$, our After School Group for under 6,5 with staff collecting the Children from local nurseries and primary schools, three open access play and youth sessions, single gender work, a range creative and arts based projects, holiday activity programmes and drop-in facilities for information and guidance along with sexual heah support. In addition there were also sessions lo improve health and frtness (Children and adults}, dance, keep fiuexercise sessions, intergenerational work, older people's luncheon club and outings.
Achlevements and performance Over the past year we have engaged with 316 individuals, delivered 210 sessions that generated 2,724 contacts. Although on initial inspection these numbers are slightly down on the previous year it is as a result of fully reverting back to face-to-face delivery away from on-line and activity pack deliveries and as such doesnl rèally reflect the continuing increase in demand for services combined with our limited capacity due to the poor responses to recruitment, which is a sector wide issue. Our partnership project with New Writing North 8nd our Mature Action Group came to a fruitful end (with the reminiscences of group members being filmed and compiled together into a charming short film, soon to be available to Vk8w on our website wwvo d .), that fomied part of NWN'S wider project "Remembered West". Financlal revlew The balance sheet at 30 November 2023 shows a total fund position of £123,631. This was repres8nled by langible fixed assets of £0 and net Current assets of £123,631 Th8 main sources offunding are now from our thrèe main funders of the rnost rec8nt of whom is the Henry Smith Charity over three years, The Ballinger Charitable Trust and The LGA Foundation as well as the Denton Ward Committee and a range of smaller charitabl8 trusts. All funds have been expended on the delivery of Ihe key objectives of the charity and the agreed aims of Ihe funded body. There are no funds invested. The Organisalion aims to hold In SerVe sufficient funds to enabl8 an orderly wind down, including the payment of all liabilities. On 30 November 2013, all assets and liabilities of the unincorporated charity were transferred to Denton Youth & Communily Projed Limited, a company limited by guarantee. company number 07846726 and a charity that has the sam8 charitable objects. Future Plans Securing three years core funding from the Henry Smith Charity has brought us a period of stability that was much needed for the project so that we can focus on all of the other areas of the work such as recruiting extra slaff to increase our capacity to expand numbers on sessions and reduce wailing list$ and allowing us to make some major improvements to fLrture proof the building. We have made a start on converting all of the lighting from the old fluorescent lube type units to LED unils that only use 300h of the energy needed lo power the old ones, this should help to reduce our electricity costs and contribute to a reduclion in our carbon footprint. We are looking for funding sources to upgrade the old metal windows and cast iron heating system to further reduce energy Costs whilst adding to the thermal efficiency and aeslhetic look of the buikling.
