Objectives and artivities
The Prout Bridge Project offers youth, mental-health and community services. It was set up by the community in

Significant and Charitable artivities
We run a busy youth and community centre with youth clubs, mental health sUPPOrt and multiple e55ential
services and activities housed under one roof. used by hundreds of people each week. We also operate an
outreach van taking our services out into the surrounding area. and work in several local primary and secondary
schools. We work in partnership with other services to connect people to support that is available.
We aim to be inclusive and accessible to everyone. reducing barriers that prevent participation in other services
and activities In our local area. including affordability. awareness, Isolation and confidence. Everyone will find a
friendly and non-jud8emental welcome at the Prout Bridge Project.
Our model is to offer open-access activities, clLJbs and groups as well as more targeted support for those who
need it. This makes support more available, and allows signposting between services.
Most of our work {around 75%} is with young people aEed 8-25. This youth focus recognises the lack of other
provision for young people in our area. If the Prout Bridge Project did not exist there would be very few activities
and services accessible to many children and young people in our area. We also support local families and the
broader community, offering service5 for adults of all ages. Here again. our focu5 is on offering services that are
not accessible or otherwise available.
We fulfil our objectives through the following activities:

Achievements and performance
Significant octivitie5 ond ochievement5 against objertives
We remain committed to this mission in what has been a busy year of ever- increasing demand across the
different strands of our services.
The high cost of living, rural deprivation and isolation from the aftermath of Covid have all contributed to put
greater demand on our services and on our team, with just our Director of Services, a term-time only YoLtth Work
and Community Manager, two qualified, paid part-time youth workers. two part-time paid youth support workers,
and 9 volunteers.
YOUTH - up to 90 vounE people aged 8-18 attend our youth clubs each week taking part in a wide variety of
activities. This is an increase of 12% over the previous year. We also undertake outreach youth work in schools and
community SP3ces during which we see around 100 young people throughout the year and provlde holiday
activity days seeing a different cohort of young people of approximately 75 over a year. Summentor, our
mentoring into secondary education programme, had 15 young people in total taking part this summer. All this
work puts pressure on our capacity to ensure sufficiently skilled members of staff and trained volunteers are
available. The Phoenix Youth Band has a steady membership and is gaining recognition within the local community
to perform at public events, which Is a great accolade to the two band leaders and all band members.
MENTAL HEALTH - we have worked with 62 children and young people aged 8-18 this year through our targeted,
accessible I:1 mental health support programme, plus 4 school groupwork sessions, each over 6 weeks, with 617
young people taking part in each. More funding to recruit further qualified support for thi5 targeted youth work is
a priority, as this service makes a marked difference to young people's lives. recognised by the continuous flow of
referrals to U5. and from very positive feedback from them and their families. Unfortunately, the counselling
service managed independently, but based at the Prout Bridge closed this year due to a lack of trained counsellors
3fter the retirement of the counselling manager. However, Access to Wellbeing is now using the building one dav
each week offering counselling advice services for adults, which ensures a continued adult mental health support
at the Prout Bridge community hub.

COMMUNITY
our community hub offer5 a range of activitie5 and services in conjunction with other
organisations. helping to reduce isolation and loneliness and support access to a wide range of support for
different needs in our rural community. Café Create, a free weekly drop in for adults. is very well attended with
around 25 people attending and a new initiative, 'Only 4 Blokes, has grown steadily over the last year to 12 regular
attendees. A lunch for those alone on Christmas Day, generously funded by a local donor, has been planned and
supported by our volunteers and stsff. We have built and maintained good relationships with local businesses and
donors and host other organisations within the community hub. Regular provision includes a Food Bank, Clothe5
Bank, Health Vi51tors, Dance Fitness, Kick Boxing. Pilates. NHS Health checks, Live Well Dorset, Citizens Advice
Bureau, Social Prescribers. the Probation Service and Royal British Legion.
The welcome news in early 2025 of our successful bid for a 5 year National Lottery grant for continued
sustainability of our services, has made us more financially resilient and also enabled us to recruit an additional
member of staff to support with fundraising. A requirement of this fundin8 IS the need to track and report impact,
and improve monitoring and evaluation of our work. Future investment will be required in developing effective
data systems, skills and new technology for our long-term strategy and grovrth.
Our current board of trustees consists of six members, two of whom are newly appointed. Two other members
resigned during the year, and we extend our thanks for their contribution during their term. We plan to recruit
further trustees with skills in finance, fundraising and marketing, and a young person to represent the views of
youn8 service Users. During the year the board has focussed on ensuring the charity adhere5 to principles of good
overnance with the establishment of a governance committee, a review of policies, and a review of our
constitution, v31ues and mission and branding, the latter to raise greater awareness of what we do. A finance and
risk committee now produces regular cash flow Statements, a robust budget report, reviews the risk register and
tracks grants and income. Ongoing grants and funding is still very much required to enable us to cover rising
operational runnin8 Costs.
We wish to thank 311 our supporters. patrons. corporate partners, grant funders and 311 the local businesses and
individual donors and f undraisers without whose sUPPOrt we could not deliver our amazing range of services to
our local community and neighbourhoods.
Finallyi the trustees wish to thank and acknowledge the ongoing commitment, ener8y and skills by the Dirertor of
Services and her team of youth and community workers, administratorand volunteers.

Flnanclal review
Financlal positlon
Income, from all sources. for the year ending 31 August 2025 was £180,146.
We endeavor to keep costs to 3 minimum so that as much money as posstble can be used to further our charltable
purpose. The majority of our expenditure is an our staff wages. We are grateful to all the local businesses and
individuals who generously give their time and resources to help us keep our running costs down.
In this financial year only £3,126 was spent on fundraising. We are able to achieve this through the generosity of
our trustee team in giving their time and expertise and from volunteer support. We are grateful to everyone for
their hard work and commitment.
