Great Cli*on Community Youth Group Annual Report 2023 (220401 - 230331)
Background.
Great Cli*on is an ex-mining village with a populaGon of 1100 and very liIle community life. Most of the Gme since 2018, the Youth Group has provided weekly football sessions, and, on most years, made a major contribuGon to the annual village Fun Day.
Equipment.
Football is played on the ground of the defunct village rugby club and on winter evenings this requires use of the floodlights. The kiosk protecGng the switchbox was derelict; a new kiosk was bought and installed with voluntary help from a village plant hire business and two professional electricians.
A pair of cheap plasGc goalposts have been le* on the football pitch. They are used almost daily and, to our saGsfacGon, have not been intenGonally wrecked. Another pair were bought to provide replacement parts.
AcGviGes
UnGl December 2022, weekly informal football sessions were provided for children in two age groups: 6-12 and 12-18. Each session typically aIracted about 30 children on the pitch, and others came to socialise. Our charismaGc trainer then stopped because he had moved some twenty miles from the village. UnGl summer, we conGnued to turn on the floodlights one evening a week and children organized their own games.
The Youth Group led the planning and organizaGon of the village Fun Day on 20 August 2022.
Finance
A grant of £2,000 made available from a compensaGon fund for a local windfarm covered about two thirds of the expenditure.
