Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From June 2024 To May 2025
Charity name: Rose Hill Junior Youth Club
Charity registration number: 1161836
Objectives and Activities
The purpose of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club (RHJYC) is to advance and help young people living in the Rose Hill area of Oxford through the provision of recreational and leisure activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to encourage positive language, social skills and development of a sense of their own worth and capability.
Our services offer a vital lifeline to so many: providing support, independence, self-confidence and self-esteem. Everyone is welcomed, feels valued and respected.
RHJYC offers children aged 5 - 16 years the chance to engage in safe, meaningful, and healthy activities. The club offers a nurturing and creative atmosphere. We support children to raise their self-esteem, self-confidence, and independence through creative activities.
Activities are structured around weekly sessions aimed at boys and girls in different age groups.
Sessions always include a hot meal and a wide range of activities, such as:
-
Games, outdoors and indoors (ranging from cards and board games to more active participation games, including football), free play and playground fun, arts and crafts, cooking
-
School holiday activities, including outings, cookery classes and free play
-
Allotment: planting, weeding, harvesting, cooking, constructing bird boxes and bug hotels from recycled wood.
RHJYC also offers mentoring to children and young people who are referred by two local primary schools, the local children’s centre, social services, or the local debt and advice centre. The needs of children and young people for mentoring include social/emotional (such as anger management, social isolation), communication, exclusion from education, young carers, eating disorders, autism and other mental health needs.
In a relatively deprived area, RHJYC offers food support: every session includes a hot and nutritious meal, with vegetables and fruit. Some children take home meals for their families. Children have the opportunity to learn how to cook healthy meals. Food boxes are provided for those in need, particularly during the school holidays.

Holiday activities and community events
In addition to the term-time youth club sessions, a range of activities took place in the school holidays.
Summer
In July (2024), we attended Oxford Play Association’s free community play day on the Rose Hill Recreation ground. We offered a range of arts and crafts activities, plus glitter tattoos.
Later that evening, over 100 local people came to watch our youth film and family feature at Rose Hill Community Centre. Due to the weather it was held indoors, but the families enjoyed watching the animated film, ‘Migration’.
Ninety seven children aged 5-16, attended our summer youth club in August. The activities included arts and crafts, outdoor play, games, building lego, making pizza and fruit smoothies, and nature activities at our allotment.
We also took a group of young people to Oxford Brookes Sports centre for an indoor climbing session.
At the end of the summer holidays, we also ran a cooking session for families thanks to funding from Well Together. The parents and children who took part reported feeling more confident about cooking from scratch, which inspired them to try cooking together at home.
Autumn
During October half-term (2024), we ran two-days of free creative activities for families as part of our forest-themed Creative Lights Festival, in partnership with Film Oxford and Rose Hill & Iffley Low Carbon. Activities included lantern making, costume making, leaf-crown making and other arts and crafts. We also invited Oxford Recycles to run a fun recycling game, to encourage families to look after the environment and reduce littering.
We worked in partnership with Film Oxford to deliver a free flmmaking club, which 14 young people attended. They learned how to film, record sound, how to use lighting, how to interview and how to edit. They then used these skills in November, and helped to film the Creative Lights Festival activities.
In November, we hosted a three-day forest themed Creative Lights Festival at Rose Hill Community centre. On day one, we had a free youth disco, showcasing digital art designed by young people at JYC. On day two, it was the main lantern parade event with free digital activities for families. On the last day, we hosted an afternoon of arts and crafts, cake decorating, morris dancing, costume making and had a free community meal for all to enjoy.
Winter
In December (2024), we hosted a free Festve Community event at Rose Hill Community Centre, which 200 people attended. Activities included a bouncy castle, cake decorating and glitter tattoos. We also collected donations of bric-a-brac and clothing to give out to families at the event, and also supported 100 families with bags of essential food items and fresh fruit.
In February half-term (2025), we hosted our first Food & Wellbeing Festval at Rose Hill Community centre. The aim of the festival was to showcase local health and wellbeing initiatives, and ways to cook good, healthy food.
We gave away free bags of fruit, herbs and spices as well as bric-a-brac and clothing. Stallholders included Oxford Brookes University, who led a ‘guess the amount of sugar’ game. Rose Hill Methodist Church shared information about their free community cafe & food bank. CAG
Oxfordshire came to showcase how to make sauerkraut and shared how we could grow our own food.
One of our local parents led a fruit spiralling activity, and our Food Ambassador, Gregg Brown, led a flatbread making food activity. Oxford City Farm also attended and shared some homemade veggie tasters, and the smoothie bike was also a very popular addition to the day.
“It was great! My children loved making their pitta breads and adding toppings. They tasted the smoothies and we loved rummaging in the bric-a-brac section! It was a lovely way to get exposed to new foods and be sociable.” - Parent
“ Great community event, good thing to get the community together.” - Parent
“Children had a great time, they now want to grow vegetables in the garden.” - Parent
Partnerships and community engagement
An important part of Rose Hill Youth Club’s work is engaging with other organisations in the community. This year we have worked with Film Oxford, the International Youth Orchestra, Oxford Recycles, Oxford Brookes University, The Story Museum (TSM) and Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon.
Film Oxford
Our long-standing partnership with Film Oxford continued this year, with an exciting array of creative activities for children, young people and the wider community.
Activities with Film Oxford included:
-
designing digital posters using Photoshop, which advertised the family film at the free
-
community outdoor cinema. These were printed and laminated before being displayed around the community
-
Making lanterns and costumes for the Creative Lights Festival in Rose Hill (together with
Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon Group). This year’s theme was trees and reforestation. The children created their own lanterns, tree and forest costumes and leaf crowns. Local artist Andrew ‘Mani’ Manson-Reeves helped to construct a giant elephant lantern which, together with the lanterns made by the children, formed part of a lantern procession around Rose Hill, led by the brass band, Horns of Plenty
-
free film-making club at which 14 young people learned key skills in film making, including how to use cameras, set up lighting and sound, directing, interviewing and editing. The youth film crew then used their skills to film a behind-the-scenes documentary of the Creative Lights Festival events in November
-
fifty five young people attended our free youth disco, where digital artwork was projected
onto the walls and ceiling. This artwork was created by young people during our VJ-ing workshops at our older boys and girls club. Other activities included glow in the dark tattoos, slime making and glitter tattoos.
Oxford Recycles
Oxford Recycles led a recycling activity during the October 2024 half-term.
Oxford Brookes University
Activities organised by students and staff from Oxford Brookes included a trip for young people to go indoor climbing at the university’s climbing wall.
Two nutrition students from the Oxford Brookes University Nutrition course joined the youth club for their work placement and cooked food with the children.
The Story Museum
The Story Museum, supported by RHJYC, ran a 4-week podcastng club for ages 8+ at the Rose Hill Community Centre. The children learned how to create their own podcast inspired by creatures, monsters and beasts, which premiered on The Story Museum’s 1001 Stories Collection Website.
Read more about this project here.
International Youth Orchestra
The international Youth Orchestra is composed of young people from all the countries with which Oxford is twinned. The orchestra visited the youth club and the children took turns to conduct as well as listening and dancing to the music.
Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon
Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon group worked with the youth club on the Creative Lights Festival at Rose Hill, supporting our creative workshops and events.
Food activities and appointing a Food Ambassador
In October 2024 we appointed Gregg Brown as our new Food Ambassador. With food, culinary education and hospitality as a key part of his life, Gregg draws on a 40 year career in kitchens and training locations all over the world including Raymond Blanc, the Dorchester, Savoy, as well as national roles with Marriott, The Clink Charity and, most recently, The University of West London & Daylesford Organic Cookery School.
In 2018, Gregg launched an exciting food education and events project called, ‘CookSchool‘, which offers skill-based classes for cooks of all ages, allowing Gregg to share his passion for teaching.
Gregg is dedicated to helping RHJYC shape the future for everyone by running regular cooking workshops, encouraging an enthusiasm and interest in preparing food and understanding the importance of a varied and nutritious diet.
Since his appointment, he has supported many of our community events, led cooking sessions for our girls group, and is actively involved in spreading awareness about the work we do. Greg commented:
“Working in the girls club space was a truly rewarding experience for me. The food activities became a meaningful way for me to build genuine connections with the girls. It was inspiring to see how food could be a bridge—not just to healthier habits, but to trust, fun and community. I left every session feeling uplifted by the opportunity to help make a difference.”
Taking food home
Many of the children who attend Rose Hill youth club come from families experiencing poverty. An important part of every session is the provision of a hot, nutritious meal, with vegetables and fruit for all the children and young people. They are also able to take hot meals home to their families.
For example, from October - December 2024, 209 extra meals were taken away after the youth club sessions. 343 additional meals were taken home between January - March 2025, and 360 meals during April - June 2025.
Community food support & cooking sessions
We wanted to strengthen a sense of community cohesion in Rose Hill and showcase our work with food.
We hosted a family cooking session on 30 August 2024, where parents and carers learned how to prepare and cook healthy, low-cost meals with their children.
In December 2024, we supported 100 families with 100 bags of essential food items, including pasta, rice, tinned vegetables and milk to support them over the winter holidays. Over 470 people, including adults and children benefited from receiving these food bags. The Glympton Park Estate cooked and boxed up over 200 meals which were given out at the Christmas festival in 2024.
Between January - February 2025, we ran three cooking sessions for adults at Rose Hill Community Centre, supported by the Well Together fund. The sessions were designed to be relaxing, supportive and engaging. Seven participants were guided on how to make a variety of healthy dishes, from vegetable curries to pakoras.
The participants were asked before and after the sessions to self-report their skill levels. At the start of the sessions, participants noted that they felt ‘ unsure ’ and ‘ not confident ’ about knowing how to prepare vegetables, how to use seasoning, and different utensils.
After the sessions, the participants reported that they now felt ‘ confident ’ or ‘ very confident ’ about these tasks.
“Brilliant session. I liked the food and how it was delivered and how we were supported.” - Participant
“I’m more confident about cooking this myself at home.” - Participant
“These cooking sessions have been a great learning curve and have inspired me to try other cuisines.” - Participant
In February 2025, we held a food festival which included food-related games, flatbread-making, a free communal meal, free bags of fruit, fitness challenges, windowsill gardening, spiralized fruit snacks, community group stalls, free clothing and bric-a-brac and a fruit and vegetable garden art mural. This event was supported by The Well Together fund, The Macfarlane Family Foundation, Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council.
Meals that Matter - Crowdfunder campaign
In November 2024, we launched a Crowdfunder campaign titled, ‘Meals That Mater’ encouraging people to support us in feeding over 120 children and young people at our weekly youth club sessions.
We've witnessed a 38% increase in families asking for help; all disproportionately impacted by food/fuel insecurity & poor health outcomes.
Hunger and poor nutrition are affecting physical and mental health - not being able to access nutritious food has multiple negative impacts on health, well-being, learning and concentration and increasing tensions in families.
Thirty three supporters helped us to raise over £6,000, which will go towards feeding all of the children and young people who attend our sessions.
Nature activities
Thanks to Oxfordshire Community Foundation’s Thriving in Nature fund, we employed an Outdoor Wellbeing Coordinator in January 2025.
Our work over the next three years will focus on developing a range of free support for children, young people and adults, who will have access to wellbeing in nature social groups, exciting nature activities and community initiatives.
We hope that our support will improve the wellbeing of local people and our projects will be designed to increase access to safe green spaces, helping to boost self-confidence and reduce social isolation for people of all ages.
So far, we have delivered the following activities:
-
Led nature activities at RHJYC sessions (bug hunting, tree identification, gardening, planting, harvesting, making a wormery, arts and crafts, painting, and mindfulness activities).
-
Set up a wellbeing in nature group for adults, who meet weekly at our allotment to relax, enjoy nature and take part in some low-maintenance gardening activities. The adults reported that it was a good way of getting out of the house, talking to other people and not feeling lonely and disconnected.
-
Small group mentoring for children (see the section on Mentoring below)
-
Delivered nature activities at community groups, for example, at Oxfordshire Mind, the Wellbeing Coordinator led a session decorating wood cookies with paintings of flowers and trees and planting sunflower seeds. The Community Cupboard group at Rose Hill Methodist Church also enjoyed planting seeds in toilet roll tubes and painting.
-
Started planning a community garden at the Rose Hill Community Centre.
“I enjoyed gardening and moving around, it felt therapeutic.” - Adult wellbeing group participant
“I felt supported and calmer. I enjoy coming here, it’s a healthy start to the day.” - Adult wellbeing group participant
Enrichment trips for families
Thanks to funding from the Macfarlane Family Foundation, we organised one trip per month for families living in and around Rose Hill.
These trips were greatly appreciated by families who may not have been able to afford to go on a summer holiday, or access other local venues due to transport and entry costs.
We took families on a free trip to the Oxford Natural History Museum, where they had the opportunity to explore the museum through various trails and have lunch together.
There was also a free trip for families to the Oxford Brookes Science Bazaar for a day packed full of exploring, science, technology and crafts.
A trip to Glympton Park Farm and Estate enabled families to meet the animals, find out how the farm runs and explore the grounds.
We took families for a day trip to Tumblestone Hollow at Stonor Park, where the children played in the adventure playground, saw deer up close and explored the manicured gardens.
“ It’s nice because we don't get to come out very often as we don't have a car". - Parent
“Thank you for this amazing opportunity to come to these unique places. ” - Parent
Mentoring
RHJYC offers flexible one-to-one mentoring sessions, providing a safe space where children and young people can relax and engage in enriching activities. Children and young people are referred by
local schools, the Family Solutions service and community care organisations for children and young people.
We have also continued to provide small group mentoring support for children at John Henry Newman Academy at our allotment space, focusing on improving socialisation, self-confidence and resilience. Led by our Outdoor Wellbeing Coordinator, the children participate in fun, creative nature activities in a relaxed environment. They used clay to make faces, drew pictures of their ideal garden and explored the plot through bug hunting.
Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period
The deficit for the financial year was £9,615 compared to £19,989 in the previous year. This was attributable to an increase in gross income of £5,456, as well as a reduction in total expenditure of £4,918. The cash balance at the end of the year was £165,526, of which £82,261 was restricted income to fund specified activities.
We are pleased to be able to report that our applications to The National Lottery Community Fund, together with other smaller funding applications have been successful. This helped to alleviate the concerns the Trustees had that expenditure may potentially outstrip income. As a ‘safety measure’, ahead of receiving notice that The National Lottery Community Fund application, together with other smaller funding applications, had been successful, a plan was discussed in early 2025 to deal with the possibility of working within a reduced income. The actions considered by the Trustees included reviewing staff numbers, exploring cost-cutting measures and working with other local partner organisations. Following the successful funding applications, however, these actions were no longer required.
Reserves Policy
Reserves are that part of unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes. RHJYC maintains free unrestricted reserves for the purpose of:
-
Providing a level of working capital that protects the continuity of our core work, namely weekly youth club sessions
-
Providing a level of funding allowing us to take advantage of unexpected opportunities should they arise
-
Providing cover for risks to the charity, such as unforeseen expenditure or an unanticipated loss of income.
Amount of reserves held
From June 2024 to March 2025 the Reserves Level held was £100,000 (representing 6 months running costs based on full operating costs). On 11[th] March 2025 the existing reserves policy was revised by the Trustees to reduce the amount required to be held from £100,000 to £52,000 (representing 4 months based on minimum operating costs). This was one of the ‘safety measures’ taken by the Trustees, pending the decision by The National Lottery Community Fund to award a substantial grant to the RHJYC.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 May 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
