Independent Examiners Report

I have conducted an independent examination of the Income and Expenditure statements of the Driffield Youth Action Charity No 1170061 for the year ending 31st March 2025

No matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination which gave me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect accounting records for the year to 31st March 2024 had not been kept in accordance with Section 41 of the Charities Act 1993, or that the accounts do not accord with the records.

No matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination, to which attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Chairman's Report

For the period 1st April 2024 - 31st March 2025

It gives me great pleasure to present the Chairman's Report for the year ending 31st March 2025. This has been another busy and productive year for our team, staff, and volunteers as we continue to provide a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment for young people in our community.

Staffing and Development

Our staffing team remains committed and passionate about delivering high-quality youth work. We currently have a Youth Development Coordinator, supported by three Senior Youth Workers, two Sports Coaches, and two Assistant Youth Workers. In addition, our three dedicated volunteers continue to give their time generously, playing a vital role in supporting our activities and outreach.

This year, we have also supported two university students, three college students, and one person working towards a Youth Work Level 2 qualification. These placements provide valuable experience for those entering the youth work profession white helping us to build capacity and fresh ideas into our team.

Facilities and Improvements

A major improvement this year was the installation of a second-hand kitchen in November 2024. This new facility has been a significant enhancement to the youth centre, enabling more young people to take part in cooking and food-based sessions. It supports the development of practical life skills, promotes healthy eating, and provides a welcoming space for shared meals and social connection.

Hall Hire and Community Use

White hall hire has been less frequent this year, we have maintained several valued community partnerships. Groups hiring the space have included:

We remain committed to offering our facilities to groups and initiatives that align with our values and contribute positively to the local community.

Funding and Sustainability

We are extremely grateful for the financial support received throughout the year, which has been essential in maintaining our activities and services. Our funding sources included:

While this support has been vital, it is clear that more sustainable funding needs to be sourced to ensure the continuation and development of our work. We are particularly keen to secure resources that will allow us to extend staff hours and strengthen the support for our Youth Development Work, ensuring we can meet the growing needs of young people in our area.

Programme and Activities

Over the past year, we have delivered a diverse and inclusive range of youth sessions and projects designed to support personal growth, wellbeing, and community engagement. Our programmes have included:

Our summer activities have been particularly successful, ensuring inctusivity for young people living with disabilities and those who are neurodivergent, enabling everyone to participate fully and confidently.

We have also delivered a variety of social action projects, including participation in Lifestyle Projects, supporting local community members, and fundraising for national charities. These projects have encouraged young people to make a difference in their communities while developing leadership skills, empathy, and civic pride.

Partnerships and Collaboration

Working collaboratively with partners has been a key focus this year. We have continued to enhance our youth provision and strengthen engagement by building strong relationships with local organisations, Police team, and community groups. These partnerships allow us to share resources, widen opportunities, and better meet the needs of young people across the area.

Conclusion

In summary, this has been a year of steady progress, creativity, and meaningful impact. Our staff, volunteers, and partners have worked tirelessly to provide positive opportunities for young people while navigating the ongoing challenges of funding and resources.

The installation of the new kitchen, the success of inclusive summer programmes, and the breadth of youth and community activities delivered all highlight the strength and adaptability of our team. However, to maintain and grow this success, it remains crucial that we secure sustainable funding for the years ahead.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend sincere thanks to all our staff, volunteers, funders, and partners for their continued commitment and support—and of course, to the young people themselves, whose energy, ideas, and enthusiasm continue to inspire everything we do.
