The trustees met 7 times this year. In 2023-24 Wrexham Youth & Play Partnership said 8oodbyeto our Community Development and Communications C)fficer, following the end of We15h Government Third sector Resilience funding. Alex Drury left as Co-ordinator managing the day-to-day actlvitles of the organi53tion in August 23 and we were not able to recrutt to the post due to lack of funding. This has produced additional pressure and workload on both trustees and our staff team.

In 2023/24 our work has involved further 5UPPOrting the development of Gwenfro Valley Adventure Playground including delivery of re8ular play opportuntties for children locally. Actlvltles This year has been one of uncertainty for Wrexham Youth and Play Partnership. Our funding situation has been and remains uncertain. Whilst we have been successfijl in gaining both charitable grant funding and private donations. we run without financial certainty and at the capacity sve would like. We continue to work as trustees and staff to Submit funding bids as often as we can. Due to this situation trustees have decided to redu our activitie5 in the wder county and focu5 efforts and time on Gwenfro Valley Adventure Playground with the hope that once core and coordinator funding is secured we can widen our work again. Gwenfro Valley Adventure Playground continues to be open 6 days a week. Over the year the playground was attended over 450 individual children with a particular rise in under 55. The playground continued to be a popular meeting place for parents as well with 176 registered.
We had 30 adult volunteers regisiered this year and 60 young people volunteers with an average of 12 hours a week. Having come to an agreement with Wrexham Council we now have a long-term lease for the site of the playground. A huge amount of fvn has been had on the playground this year with highlights including our birthday paty and children involved in self-building new structures. The playground is a place of freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated play for all ages. The playground is a true hub for community support with an informal food bank and holiday hunger project providing lunches for children throughout the summer holidays. Trustees took the difficult decision to pause our CIW registration due to the funding restraints and lack of manager resulting in all sessions running for under hours. Grant fvnding has enabled u5 to install much needed new toilets on the playground whilst fundraising by the parent's group raised money for the renovation of our very popular zip wire. A volunteer has created a new website for Gwenfro Valley enabling us to reach funders and new audiences to tell our story. D. Achievements and Performance Continuing to support thildren and families through difficult times, providing more time and space for play.
