Aims . The object of the Charity is to advance in life and relieve needs of young people in Great Clifton. We do this through (a) the provision of recreational facilities and leisure time activities provided in the interest of the social welfare of the young people and designed to improve their conditions of life, and (b) providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Activities during the year to 31 March 2025 .
The Village Hall was opened to children 5 - 12 years old from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. The children were evidently pleased to have a large indoor space with gym mats, bean bags, skipping ropes, etc. and also sedentary activities including games such as dominoes and chess, drawing, an electronic keyboard, Lego.... When the weather permitted, there was provision for football outdoors and, in summer, games of rounders were organised. The main volunteers were Rachael Huxley, Liam Chesters and Jonathan Coles, helped by others.
The annual village Fun Day was on 3 August. Attractions included a dog show, races, karaoke, inflatables, a mobile climbing tower and various refreshments. The Cumbria Youth Alliance provided funds for weekly indoor football sessions for children 6-12 run by the Football Fun Factory. These started on 24 September 2024.
Finances
The main source of unrestricted funds was the balance of a grant of £2,500 from the Francis C. Scott Charitable Trust received on 26 Jan 2024.

Restricted funds were received from the Workington Together Community Panel (£4,590, to upgrade the rugby pitch floodlights) and from Cumberland Youth Alliance (£3,194, for Football Fun Factory indoor football sessions).
