Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

In planning our activities, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our Trustee meetings. We eventually got back the use of our building and reopened the Youth Club on 11thAugust 2021. After such a long closure it was a new start. As such we asked all members to re-register so that our records were all up to date. We had 19 members enrolled on the first night which we felt was quite good. Subsequent weeks have been 20 to 25 young people in the main. The last two months were a problem in the village with a lot of Covid affecting residents for this reason we closed again to try to help prevent the spread, re-opening in the New Year. Since re-opening we have gained two new volunteers which has been a great help. As far as fundraising was concerned, we intended to put on an American Diner in November which was cancelled again due to covid. We ran another one in the New Year We are grateful for the help that has been given to us by LCC Youth services in planning and re-opening. Thanks also go to LCVYS for running first aid and food hygiene courses to enable us to be up to date after our shutdown Any funds raised through our activities are banked to help with the running and upkeep of the centre. The Youth club funds are ring fenced for their use only. We liaised with Playgroup and Lincolnshire County Council Early Years Department to finalise their exit from our building and into their new one.
