CORFE MULLEN YOUTH TRUST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2024 GOVERNANCE The charity was registered on 18th July 2016 with the objective of taking over the Youth Centre in Corfe Mullen following its closure by Dorset County Council. The County Council agreed to transfer the fixed assets and the cash balances relating to the activity of the centre to the Trust. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The principal activity of the Charity is running a youth club and out of school activities for Key Stage 3 pupils in Corfe Mullen. RESULTS AND REVIEW The charity has returned to a full schedule of weekly activities in the year. The long standing Youth Leader stood down in October and was succeeded by an existing member of the team. This means that DofE is no longer run by the club. As well as the existing sessions at the community hub, a new group runs at the Village Hall, aimed at the older children and it has been very well received. More than 2,000 session places were attended by children through the year, primarily KS3 pupils from local schools. Summer activities and trips catered for 90 young people. Anti social behaviour remains an issue but continued engagement is the approach taken by the charity. Prior year grant funding was applied to trips and activities, supplemented by additional funding of £2496 received from Dorset Council in the year.
