Section D Achievements and erformance TAR March 2025 Section D Achievements and performance In person youth work sessions were maintained during the whole of 2024- 2025 and saw an increase youth numbers. The 2024 Pershore River Festival was run successfully with profits being donated to PRYC. Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year The centre continued to benefit from the services of a youth engagement officer to work in combination with Pershore High School providing targeted support for young people. The riverside centre also provided support with help from the PrIn￿'S Trust. The centre maintained its provision for both SEN children and young adults with groups taking place on both Saturdays and Sundays. A full summer programme was provided in the grounds of the centre with numbers of attendees increasing as a result of the centre benefitting from HAF funding. The range of different user groups attending the centre increased with a resultant increase in lettings income. While the centre's main focus is youth provision, it is now used by all age groups and many members of the community. The decision was taken to dispose of the centre's INheelie Boat. It was a valuable community asset but had not been utilised to its full potential during its ownership by PRYC. The intention is to use the funds raised by the sale on a specific project for the benefit of the users of PRYC.
