Vision 4 Youth Chair’s Report 2024-25

-

-
Youth Club, Thursdays, for 11 to 14 years old run by Jacqui and Sally.

-

-
Blackwater Youth Club , Wednesdays for 11 to 18 years old run by Sally and Karla.
-
In addition, we have continued with:
-
HAF (Holiday Activities & Food) over the school holidays was offered again this year at
-
The Youth Suite.
-
Social Prescribing led by Karla.
This year our HAF programme was led by enthusiastic new staff, who got on well with the young people. V4Y offered a good menu of activities for the young people attending. Our HAF was chosen by the Holiday Activities and Food Programme to receive a visit from Hampshire County Councillor Roz Chadd, the Execuritive Lead Member for Children’s Services and from Tanya McCormack from the Department of Education. V4Y was chosen to receive a visit from these VIPs as it is an excellent example of a successful HAF for young people aged 11-18 years. The Department of Education have announced HAF funding for the next 3 years and we intend to continue to offer this service to our community.
V4Y was invited by Rushmoor Borough Council to extend our social prescriber service in their borough. This means taking on a second Social Prescriber to work in schools in Rushmoor.
A highlight of the year was Nicola Dyer’s successful completion of the London Marathon while pregnant – quite an achievement! Nicola raised just over £3,000 For V4Y and now she has a new addition to the family who arrived on 1[st] September.
I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to everyone for their continued support and hard work to provide our local youth with a multitude of services and safe spaces to spend their leisure time. Thank you to V4Y supporters: the Co-op and Sainsburys, Lefevres, St Peter’s and St Barnabas Churches and the Town Council. My especial thanks go to all the staff and volunteers. None of these clubs and activities would happen without you making an incredible difference to the lives and outlook of our local young people.
