## **Structure, Governance and Management**
MTV Youth Hampton is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution. The Parochial Church Council of St Mary’s Church Hampton may appoint three trustees. Other trustees are elected by the Charity.
The Trustees are responsible for the strategic management of the Charity but the day to day running is the responsibility of the Senior Youth Worker, Nick Neilan. In this he was ably assisted until the end of 2019 by the Youth Worker, Penny Dimond.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The object of the CIO is to guide and support children and young people in Hampton (and nearby areas) in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development on their journey to adulthood.
To meets its aims the Charity has two main objectives:
- to run a successful youth club for young people aged 8 to 14 on Friday nights during school term,( including a leadership programme for young leaders aged 13+);
- to mentor a small number of youngsters in special need.
## **Developments**
AstroTurf was laid in the back garden of the bungalow giving a greater opportunity for outdoor activities at Youth Club meetings. This project was almost entirely funded by grants from Harlequins and Heathrow Community Trust and has proved to be a great asset.
Given the economic climate the Trustees decided that it was not the right moment to approach grant makers for funds to buy the bungalow in Oldfield Road, Hampton and instead negotiate a one year extension to the lease from the Council to expire in January 2022. An extension to the temporary Change of Use classification will also be obtained.

## **Achievements and Performance**
From September up until the first lockdown in March 2020, the Charity continued to run a successful youth club on Friday nights.
A standout feature of the club continues to be our team of fifteen Young Leaders (aged 14-17). Our annual teambuilding residential course in the Autumn of 2019 was again very successful and provided an excellent platform for their continued development. In the Autumn we ran further leadership sessions with them and gave them the responsibility of running more activities at the club. They have done a great job and have grown in confidence through the experience.
Another standout feature has been the rush of new members attending each week. Our first club of the Autumn term was attended by 43 young people and by the time of our last club on Friday 13 March (lockdown 1 then came into place) over 60+ young people were attending every Friday night. By then, 145 young people were now registered members at the club (we re-start the membership from scratch each September).
Numbers are therefore well up on the same period last year when 82 young people were registered with the club at that stage (closing on 110 by the end of Summer 2019).
Each club has run with the brilliant support of our volunteers, who have enabled us to run a variety of activities for the young people such as football, basketball, challenge games, craft, cooking, spray art, painting, Warhammer, STEM and indoor games like table tennis, table football and pool. The trustees are most grateful to all the volunteers for their giving up of time and energy to serve the local youngsters.
Obviously when lockdown came into force in March, we had to close the club doors until restrictions eased. During this time, we adapted our services by continuing to engage our team of 15 Young Leaders by setting twice weekly challenges, made preparations to run online targeted youth work sessions for other members, and provided practical support to 4 older young people (15, 18, 20, 21 years old) who found this period particularly difficult.
When restrictions eased in the Summer, we ran outdoor fitness sessions at the youth club. These have proved particularly successful and next year we plan to expand this provision.
Due to the pandemic, we have had to put on hold our plans to employ a part time Children’s Worker, but we hope to advertise this role in the Advent term 2020.
We continue to be a member of the Jack Petchey Award scheme. This brilliant scheme enables us to celebrate the endeavours and achievements of our young people. Due to the pandemic, we only gave out 2 awards this year, but we plan to give out the third at the end of 2020.
As well as the Youth Club, the Charity has run mentoring sessions during the week. 8 young people were provided with additional support to help them with things such as poor metal health, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, essential life-skills, overcoming disadvantage, employment advice & support, challenging/disruptive behaviour, tension between families.
## **Plans for the Future**
It is planned that in the next financial year a Children’s Worker will be employed part-time with the hope that it will prove possible to split Club meetings into two with younger children meeting separately from the older members.
The Trustees plan to extend the rental agreement and then raise funds to buy the Bungalow at the end of the rental agreement. The plan is to use it as a venue for the Youth Club as well as a Community Hub where local groups can hire the rooms for community activities.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
## **Financial Review**
2
Reserves: It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain reserves amounting to three months of budgeted expenditure which is taken as £10,000. At the end of the financial year the reserves of unrestricted funds amounted to £55,700 and so easily exceeded the £10,000 target.
## Income:
During the year the Charity received the following grants/donations for which the Trustees are very grateful:
|£24,000|Hampton Fuel Allotment Charity|
|---|---|
|£2,375|Heathrow CommunityTrust(for AstroTurf)|
|£1,500|Jack PetcheyTrust(for activities)|
|£1,000|Travers Smith|
We were also fortunate to receive £3,573 (incl. Gift-Aid) in regular standing orders together with £16,907 (incl. GiftAid) in other donations.
Because of the restrictions due to the Corona Virus pandemic we were unable to hold any fund raising activities in the current year.
## Expenditure:
The total expenditure for the year was £40K as it was for the previous year. However a drop in expenses because there were no Youth Club meetings in the latter half of the financial year was balanced by the £11,000 cost of renting the bungalow.
## Summary:
At the end of the financial year funds stood at £93K compared with £78K at the beginning of the year and the Trustees consider that the Charity’s finances are in a healthy position. Donations of £18.2K were added to funds for the possible purchase of the bungalow making the total available £48.2K. This should provide a sound basis on which to approach grant makers for sufficient funds to purchase the bungalow from the local Council.
## **Declaration**
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
