Achlevements and performance During the past year we have continued to engage with young people on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays providing sessions for the juniors and the seniors together with a drop-in session to engage with young people, encourage positive behaviours and reduce anti-social behaviour.

Financial revlew As anticipated the Parish Council provided a significantly reduced grant for this year. The youth club implemented plans prepared in the previous year to establish a number of strategic partners and widen the sea rch for new grants especia Ily locally a nd regionally. We secured a number of grants over the year including Quartet Community Foundation, the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Society of Merchant Venturers. Reserves Policy.. This was the first year that the youth club needed to rely heavily on external grants outside the local Parish Council. The trustees were pleased that we signif ica ntly increased its grant income on this context a nd achieved greater grant diversity. Notwithstanding this, there was a significant reduction of general reserves over the year. The trustees recognise there is more to be done in the coming year in both accessing new grant whilst keeping expenditure under control. The trljstees note that the increase in general reseNes over the past five years has allowed these reserves to be drawn on in changing times, and note that the general reserves exceed six months of operating costs at the end of the financial period. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
