The Trustee Board and supporting Management Committee is a balance of business, community, youth service experience and parents. This is to ensure the broadest base of relevant experience and support for the running of the Club and for its long-term future. As a completely voluntary organisation, with no permanent or on-going financial support, it is an essential requirement to have all the necessary skills within the structure to achieve the aims.

With the ending in recent years of local government support, it has become necessary to forge closer links with alternative sources of support, eg. community foundations of housing associations. As a result, the Club has now been able to focus significant training on a range of social skills for our members, especially so in equipping young leaders for service both within the Club, their schools and the local community.

responsible individuals.

The main activity is to provide a safe and secure environment where young people can relax, enjoy and learn to develop into well-rounded young citizens. The trustees have full regard for their duty to make this available for the public, in line with the statutory requirements issued by the Charity Commission. A range of equipment is available for enjoyment and a number of training courses for the development of young members and leaders. These include safeguarding, first aid, self-defence, leadership, mental health, fitness and diet, drug awareness, etc. The training has led one young member right through from exclusion in the early stages of senior school, to the Duke of Edinburgh award and Summary of the main onto the Management Committee of the Club.

Section D Achievements and performance

The Club has continued to provide a much-needed place for young people from Holmer Green, and other local communities within a few miles’ radius, to get together and enjoy one another’s company. The number of young people attending during the year was maintained at a very high level of circa 200.

Our support of Neuro-Divergent members has continued with the Club Leader needing to be reactive and a dedicated young leader assigned to support a specific individual, following a risk assessment being completed.

We rely on several external sources of funding to keep us financially stable, needing to continue to operate with no financial funding from parish or unitary authority. As such the club faces an uncertain future, struggling to meet financial commitments. We have received a limited amount of grant money from charitable grant-making organisations in the year, but these cannot be guaranteed for the future.

Our good relations with the local schools have continued, with close liaison with the local senior and junior schools as well as other schools in the area. The HG Senior School again used the club in July for all the new Year 7 intake to get to know one another socially. About 200 young people came to the club over 2 days in school-form groups. We also arranged and sponsored a First Aid course for the upper years of 2 junior schools. Our young leaders continue to take training courses to maintain their skills, while the Club Leader has taken refresher courses throughout the year to ensure his levels of certified skills are maintained.

The Community Board for Missenden has now closed and a new structure will be created, but funding to support our type of club will be limited going forward. We supported Music on the Common and the HG Community event this year which proved to be very successful from a PR perspective.

In the uncertain, ever-changing and challenging environment our young people find themselves in, we believe that HGYC has an important role to play but that can only be effective with good oversight and governance from the Management Committee and Trustees, with substantial parent involvement. We start the year 2025/6 in a questionable financial position and the Trustees are focused on significant fund-raising
