of which such children and young persons have need by reason of their youth or social and economic circumstances and which will improve their conditions of life by promoting their physical and emotional well-being.

Activities undertaken for the public benefit and achievements during the year

It’s been a busy and varied year with our work in the community. Our new event, delivered by our youth committee, the Easter Extravaganza was a great success and will continue to be supported by Glastonbury Town Council.

Chairperson’s Report for Children’s World AGM for year end 23/24

As chair of Children’s World trustees, I am pleased to report the following:

During 2022-2023 Children’s World presented:

Children’s World activities for the year have reached over 1,500 children and young people, within various settings including community events, schools and other local organisations for children and their families in Somerset.

During this period there have been funding challenges not just for our organisation but for those that use our services also, such as schools, but our staff team and board of trustees have been adaptable and building on the work that we have been able to deliver, such as youth committee events, with an aim to work more closely with schools in understanding what their needs and budgets are over the coming months and I’m very grateful to my trustee colleagues and the staff of Children’s World for all of their hard work and continued dedication.

THE YOUTH COMMITTEE

The Youth Committee is still going strong, some members have left the committee over the year but new members have also joined. The work delivered by Angela Bolton has had a huge impact for the children and young people that are our regular youth committee members. The youth committee’s community events and activities have also directly reached approx. 250 children and young people within the local area.

PARENT CARER EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT - TUNING INTO KIDS

In the first quarter of the year we delivered one family workshop and worked directly with a family, through Pilton Pre School, which was the completion of our work that was funded in 2022/2023. Due to funding difficulties county wide there had not been opportunity to deliver Tuning into Kids courses and workshops following this, however, new avenues for funding have been identified and our aim is continuing with this vital work into 2024.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

A part of the strategic plan regarding our presence at the festival has been to bring policies to promote professionalism, transparency, and accountability – to the benefit of the festival and the charity's beneficiaries.

To achieve this, we are introducing our new systems and ways of working, to be rolled out in 2024, aiming for an increase of income. We will continue to build on this strong foundation in the future. And this is the perfect moment to extend our enormous gratitude to every volunteer who has given their time to us at the festival and to our other community projects.

OUR FUTURE PLANS

We aim to:

We plan to continue our growth and planned expansion over the next 5 years, and if anyone would like to join us on our journey and positively contribute to the charity, then please do feel free to contact us about volunteering or joining us as a trustee.

So, as my report comes to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to give my thanks to our staff, trustees and volunteers for their admirable and valued dedication and energy. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Timeline and Summary of Activities between April 1[st] 2023 and March 31[st] 2024

APRIL 23

5th - Easter Extravaganza

Children’s World easter Extravaganza 2023 was planned and delivered, as a new event, by Children’s World Youth Committee to provide low cost and where possible free, activities for families in Glastonbury and the surrounding areas over the Easter holidays. It also gave opportunities for the youth committee members to gain experience in event management and delivering live performance.

Our Youth Committee have been proactive in producing feedback from the event and, along with feedback from Abbey House and Yeast Scrap store, this will inform what changes we make to next year’s event, improving the overall running of the event for everyone.

The day proved to be a huge success with 231 children passing though across the day. The support that Glastonbury Town Council showed our Youth Committee throughout the event was second to none and extremely valuable in raising confidence of our members. Lovely feedback has been written by families attending and will help to inform future funding bids for the event.

As this was the first running of the event all costs, including increases to costs due to cost-of-living crisis, will be taken into consideration next year when applying for funding and local community and business contributions.

9th - Egg Sumo Basho

Every year the Rifleman’s Arms hold a fundraising event to raise money for our charity. Many local people get involved every year. Childrens World staff support the event by volunteering their time. Easter 2023’s event raised over £313.40 for the Charity.

13th - Tuning into Kids Family Workshop

The workshops were run by Children’s World to underpin the learning the parent/carers obtained in the 2 day Tuning into Kids courses that had been delivered in 22/23. It gave opportunity to practise their skills and for the children to engage in activities that supported the development of emotional awareness.

14th – Tuning into Kids - Pilton Pre School

We were approached by Pilton Pre School regarding a family that they felt would benefit from the Tuning into Kids training that Angela delivers but were unable to access the courses being run due to health difficulties. An initial consultation with Pilton Pre School was held and led to the decision to offer a 1 to 1 session with the parent, followed by a 2-hour workshop with the children and parent. The parent was very happy to receive the support and offered positive feedback following completion, supporting the improving of outcomes for the family.

AUGUST 23

5th - Summer Extravaganza

In July 2023, Glastonbury Town Council made a generous donation of £2,000 through the Youth Provision Grant Aid programme to support our Family Festival, run in partnership with Children’s World over the first weekend of August. Other contributions were made by both Children’s World and Paddington Farm Trust to achieve enough funding for a one-day event £5000.00. Our festival is usually held over two days, but funding was limited this year and so a one-day event was held – we called this our Summer Extravaganza 2023.

On the Saturday it rained for most of the day, but we were well prepared with most activities undercover in marquees. Despite the weather we still welcomed just over 400 attendees, who enjoyed a wide range of activities including circus skills with Fuse Arts, hula hooping with Heavenly Hoops, funny and interactive shows with Osmoses and Dangerous Dave, craft workshops using recycled materials with Yeast Scrap Store, a talent show for children to showcase their skills and much more.

We were supported by approx. 30 volunteers across set up, show delivery, and set down, including 4 members of the Children’s World Youth Committee and their families. This included volunteers with learning disabilities who were supported throughout the event. Our young volunteers excelled in their roles, demonstrating their ability to manage specific areas of responsibility really helped to boost their confidence and self-esteem, whilst helping to strengthen bonds within the youth committee. They fed back that they very much enjoyed the day, they did not like the rain but very much enjoyed learning new skills and supporting members of the public. Supporting participants in the use of the rides was a favourite job within the event for our youth committee members.

Thanks to the generous support of Glastonbury Town Council, and all our volunteers, we were able to give the families of Glastonbury and surrounding areas a wonderful (if slightly wet) one-day festival

and provide volunteer opportunities for several young people to gain first-hand experience of managing events.

21st - 25th - Off the Streets – Community Workshops

Glastonbury, being among the 10% of the most deprived areas in the country, means that arts and creative learning is not affordable to access by many of our community members, with little opportunity for children/young people to experience creative activities.

Research shows that exposure to creative endeavours and physical activity benefits all young people. Recognizing this, and with Glastonbury also having a high youth offending rate, we identified a need for local activities and workshops specifically catering to teenagers during school holidays, when parents or guardians are typically working.

Children’s World has successfully delivered a variety of workshops across the final week of the School Summer Holidays for several years and 2023 was no different. Despite the challenges that the Pandemic presented, and the changes to the way we delivered our services, we have bounced back and, thanks to the generous support of Somerset Community Foundation Trust, have been able to continue this important project.

The workshops provided a welcome outlet for many children providing opportunities for creative learning that they otherwise could not access. They were thrilled to learn new skills including skateboarding, dance, music, and song writing, and graffiti art – experiences that would otherwise be financially out of reach.

These programmes also support the fostering of a stronger sense of community involvement and responsibility among participants, leading to increased enjoyment and respect of their local environment and local community.

28th - Zombie Walk

Despite the terrible weather everyone had a really great time at this year’s Zombie Walk. Alongside other professional performers, Youth Committee members Dante and Ariel also performed, and they were amazing. Dante performed a dance to thriller and Ariel performed a POI show which was very much enjoyed by everyone. Our Youth Committee member, Morgan, spent time with the Dragon Drummers

and really enjoyed it and wishes to join the drumming group. A parent that helped on the day also wishes to join the drummers.

We raised £561.07 on the day and minus costs of £353.96 we had a profit of £207.11 to go towards another event or activity. Not a bad result considering the awful weather we had.

Across the year our Youth Committee lost a couple of members, due to changes in circumstances, college courses etc but has since grown again to 12 members of which 2 had been contributing to the Board of trustees. Due to challenges in availability to attend Trustee meetings those 2 members are now stepping down as trustees and a review will take place to consider a more robust way for the youth committee to be represented on the board.

The committee meets every two weeks and has held a total of 22 meetings between April 2023 to April 2024 and have volunteered at 5 community events and held 1 x Team Building Bowling outing.

Annual Bowling trip – Saturday 6[th] January 2024

The Future:

The Charity will be working closely with a local Fundraiser, Miranda Millan, in the delivery of Fundraising training and the development of our fundraising strategy, to address the need to secure adequate funding to support the Charity throughout Glastonbury Festivals fallow years and to ensure income in secured to continue the delivery of our, already established events and workshops.

The Charity will continue to work closely with Glastonbury Festival’s Theatre and Circus Area via our trading subsidiary Children’s World Enterprise. We intend to continue to improve our information and visibility there, and to enhance already established relationships throughout the area.

The Trustees will continue to meet regularly and review all implementations of the above.

Reserves policy

The charity will aim to always operate with at least £42,616 in reserve, which represents 6 months running costs. Should the charity financial forecast indicate that the charity will drop below its’ upper reserve level then an emergency trustee meeting will be convened to review the fundraising strategy and put into place additional remedial fundraising measures to bring reserves back above £42,616. The charity will aim to have sustainable fundraising, bringing the levels above £42,616, within 3 months of the emergency trustee meeting.

The charity will aim to have a minimum reserve of £29,631. Should the charity financial forecast indicate that the charity will drop below its’ minimum reserve figure, the treasurer will call an emergency trustee meeting, within at least 7 days, to review potential funding and agree whether it is necessary to begin to wind the charity up.

Exceptions to this will be if finances dip below £42,616 but remain above £29,631 when a major fundraising event such as Glastonbury Festival, or other income is anticipated within 3 months, which will bring funds back up to the minimal operational costs. The trustees have now established the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have implemented systems to mitigate those risks.

Going concern

The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity and consider that adequate resources continue to be available to fund the activities of the organisation for the foreseeable future. The trustees are therefore of the view that the charity is a going concern.
