## **Annual General Meeting Report** 

Date: 18 February 2026 Reporting Period: 2025–2026 

## **Introduction** 

This report provides an overview of the activities, developments, and progress of Kennington Youth Club during the 2025–2026 year. The club has continued to focus on inclusion, community engagement, and providing enjoyable opportunities for young people in the area. 

## **Membership and Inclusion** 

During the past year, the club made the decision to remove formal membership requirements. Young people are now able to attend more freely, while still completing a sign-up process for safeguarding and record-keeping purposes. This change has helped create a more inclusive environment and has encouraged new young people to attend and participate in club activities. 

## **Activities and Events** 

Throughout the year, Kennington Youth Club delivered a range of engaging and enjoyable activities, including: 

- Laser tag sessions 

- Water fights 

- A bake-off event 




- Art projects 

- Fundraising and collections for local homeless shelters 

- A Summer Club programme held at S.O.A.P 

These activities have provided opportunities for creativity, teamwork, and community awareness among attendees. 

## **Premises and Operations** 

Although efforts were being made to save funds for roof repairs, the ongoing responsibility of maintaining the building became too great for the volunteer team to manage. 

As a result, the decision was taken to hand over the hall to the Village Hall Committee. The youth club now rents the space on a weekly basis, allowing volunteers to focus more fully on delivering high-quality sessions and activities rather than building management. 

## **Participation and Future Development** 

The club has welcomed a significant number of new young people over the past year. Looking ahead, there are plans to further promote the club, including exploring advertising opportunities with Redrow to reach more families in the community. 

## **Conclusion** 

Kennington Youth Club has experienced a year of positive change and adaptation. By improving inclusivity, continuing to offer varied activities, and restructuring how the premises are managed, the club is well placed to continue supporting young people in the coming year.
