Chairman’s Report 2024-2025
I am pleased to present the Chairman’s Report for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Youth Club continues to provide a safe space for young people to socialise with peers and continues to offer a range of activities and themed evenings throughout the year.
During the year we welcomed two new trustees, myself as Chairman and Monique Duggan as secretary. It is hoped that the appointment of the new trustees will bring an injection of fresh ideas and perspectives, which will be beneficial in securing the future of the Youth Club. On behalf of the Board, we would like to extend a sincere thanks to the outgoing Chairman and Secretary, both of whom resigned during the year. Their commitment and many years of service have contributed significantly to the charity’s stability and success. We would also like to thank the staff and volunteers for their continued effort and commitment in the successful every-day running of the Club.
Youth Club membership numbers have remained consistent throughout the year, averaging around 25 young people per session. The Youth Club staff remain committed to planning and delivering engaging Youth Club sessions to the members.
Since the year-end, the charity has been successful in securing several important grants. Some of these are to be used towards activities and equipment, and some can be used to help cover Club overhead costs. The Board remains committed to exploring further grant applications going forward, ensuring we continue to closely monitor the charity’s financial position.
