KINGSTEIGNTON YOUTH CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT
The trustees present their report for the period ended 31 July 2023.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year, which reflect the receipts and payments of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of income against payments for the year.
The trustees are responsible for:
-
keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity; and
-
safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
The charity was first registered as a Charitable Trust on 17 November 1969. This charity was closed in October 2017 and a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was formed on 1 February 2017 under Charity Commission registration no: 1171416. It is governed by a CIO Constitution.
The property owner is Kingsteignton Town Council. Kingsteignton Youth Centre CIO is responsible for the control, management and maintenance of the property under a Deed of Trust between the Council and the CIO.
Kingsteignton Youth Centre Trustees met three times in the financial year 2022 to 2023 and at least four members of the Board also attended the AGM and the five management committee meetings. In planning the charity's activities at their meetings during the year the trustees and management committee have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the charitable objects of the CIO.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the charity are:
-
To advance in life and help young people living in Kingsteignton and the surrounding area through:
-
a. The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life;
-
b. Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
-
To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Kingsteignton and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity of disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Youth Club
In KYC youth club emphasis is placed on encouraging mutual respect and positive behaviour. By building young people’s confidence and self-esteem and encouraging them to form healthy and mutually respectful relationships with each other and with others in the wider world our youth club staff and volunteers aim to help young people grow into mature and well-adjusted adults who will make a positive contribution to the community and to wider society. Many of the older youth club members volunteer to assist in the youth club sessions for younger children where they make a much-valued contribution.
Trustees have been delighted at the energy and commitment displayed by our youth leader, youth support worker and youth club volunteers and the support from our young people who have continued to attend KYC youth club. We have benefitted from grants from Teignbridge Councillors’ Community Fund awarded by local councillors to fund a sessional youth support worker who has led a variety of sports hall activities during sessions for the older members. Safeguarding remains our priority and KYC staff and volunteers engage in annual online training provided by VOYC Devon. KYC management team has received positive feedback from members of the community on how issues are dealt with. On another aspect, our Youth Leader has secured a 5-star rating for the youth club’s tuck shop kitchen from Teignbridge District Council.
Bookings and external groups
We continue to provide an activity space for a range of users of different ages.
Private hirers include South Devon Aspergers Support Group (SDAG) which runs activity and support sessions for children with special needs and their families, USP self-defence group, Devon NHS Partnership Trust support group, a local dance school offering their dance students holiday activities; and a foreign language school running language classes for overseas students, as well as one off hirers including local families enjoying using the facilities for their children’s parties.
Funds
We would not be able to operate our youth club without the generous support of the annual precept from Kingsteignton Town Council. Youth Club members pay subs and along with a small profit from the tuck shop this meets the cost of youth club purchases and activities.
Grants from local councils (DCC and TDC) have helped fund staff training, equipment and building maintenance. This year, unusually, we were awarded a grant for rising energy costs by SPACE youth service. Trustees and staff are extremely grateful to those who support us.
Budget pressures will remain for the foreseeable future due to cost of living and energy cost issues, however, we have reduced our energy costs and have benefited from increased booking revenue this year.
