Fusion Seniors Orange T-shirt Project (14–17- year-olds) Fusion Seniors is a weekly youth club for young volunteers interested in supporting our clubs and the local community. The group offers a social space to connect, share meals, and engage in training on safeguarding, mental well-being, and community topics. This year, 10 members completed the National Citizenship Scheme (NCS), achieving awards in Life Skills, Employability, and Social Action. Twelve Orange T-Shirt volunteers also attended a three-day residential at Grafham Water, participating in team-building activities and discussing volunteer responsibilities, role modelling, and safeguarding. Fusion Gateway (Ages 12-25, Additional Needs) Fusion Gateway is a club dedicated to young people with additional needs. It offers a welcoming environment for members to make friends, play games, enjoy sports, do arts and crafts, and practice cooking. For our older members,we include sessions on independent |
living skills, such as cooking simple meals like pasta. Fusion Juniors (School Years 7-11) Fusion Juniors is a weekly youth club where young people participate in arts and sports activities. Weekly themes address issues relevant to their lives, including bullying, peer pressure, and healthy relationships. To foster a break from online and social media stressors, this group is kept phone-free, promoting positive mental well-being. Fusion Funky Monkeys (Ages 8-11) Funky Monkeys is a popular weekly club where young children come to make friends and have fun. Activities include sports, games, arts and crafts, transitional work for Year 6 students, and cooking healthy foods. With over 40 attendees each week, this is one of our busiest groups. Homework Club (Ages 8-14) In collaboration with Huntingdon Town Council's Communities Officer, this free, accessible homework club supports young people aged 8-14. They can study, complete homework, revise, and use the internet and library resources in a safe environment. Equipped with four desktop computers and six donated laptops, the club provides essential tools for students’ academic success. In-School Projects We run weekly sessions at two local senior schools, working with small groups of up to 10 young people per term. These bespoke programs support mental well-being with sessions covering topics such as managing feelings, safe relationships, county lines, selfharm, and internet safety. Easter Fusion (One-Week Program) We provided a week of holiday activities during Easter, funded by the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) project. Additional funding allowed us to welcome more young people, including those not on free school meals but still facing challenges. Summer Fusion (Four-Week Program) Our four-week summer program offered free activities, funded by HAF and supplemented by other sources, allowing us to include 20 additional children who were not on free school meals. A total of 66 young people
| enjoyed these activities, spending their summer engaged and happy under the sunshine. Alconbury Youth Club With funding from Urban & Civic plc, a monthly youth club was set up on the new development of Alconbury Weald. The club has two paid members of staff and two volunteers. Youth Investment Fund We have applied to the Youth Investment Fund (YIF) for funding of £1.5 million to build a purpose designed youth centre for Fusion. Huntingdon Town Council have been highly supportive, offering a lease on land at Coneygear Park, where holiday activities are currently run outside by Fusion. As part of this Fusion was given £10,000 from YIF to help with expenses in the planning process. The outcome of the application is not yet known. |

Para 1.38 | Our Orange T-Shirt Volunteers play a vital role in our clubs, helping with games, food, and welcoming new members. They contributed to community events like litter picks, the town centre fun day, and managing games at our Holiday Activities Program. Volunteers also supported individual needs, including Duke of Edinburgh hours and one-on-one homework support for younger children. Their efforts ensure a fun and supportive environment for everyone involved. |
Our two adult volunteers at Alconbury Weald have facilitated the set up of a new monthly youth club to bring together young people living on the new development. Other
Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | During the year, Fusion has worked with 174 different young people aged 8-25. The opportunities offered have helped young people to socialise and provided a safe place for them to talk about issues they may be facing. As well as running term time clubs, Fusion has been able to access funding from HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) to provide school holiday activities. The funding is for children who access free school meals but Fusion uses funding from other sources to open this up to other local children who may not have free school meals but still face many issues. One week was organised for the Easter break and four weeks in the Summer when an extra 20 young people, not on free school meals, were able to attend. It has been shown that accessing positive activities like this contributes to crime reduction by reducing engagement in anti- social and/or criminal behaviour. We are very grateful to all our funders including the second year of funding from Innovate & Cultivate under Cambridgeshire County Council, Lottery funding from Awards4All and the unrestricted funding received from local organisations: Huntingdon Freemen’s Trust, Hinchingbrooke Foundation, Urban and Civic plc and Hartford Church. The commitment of our funders has meant that Fusion has been able to continue to help young people learn new skills, raise their aspirations, become active members of their community, and make friends. Total Income during this period was £79,598. Details of specific restricted grants received are shown in the accounts under Financial Activities byDonor. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Fusion Family and Youth Projects were in a sound financial position at the end of March 2024. A carry forward of £41,586 was largely due to funding continuing into 2024 from Awards For All, Innovate and Cultivate and Youth Investment Fund, together with funding from local organisations, and included reserves of £17,000. While a significant portion of these funds was allocated to future expenditure on salaries and resources in line with grant conditions, this stability enabled the charity to plan ahead while maintaining reserves to safeguard against potential funding challenges. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The Charity seeks to maintain a level of reserves that would cover administrative costs, including core staff, insurance and payroll for 6 months. |
