Strurture. Governance and Management
MAY is a Charitable Incorporated Or8anisation- Foundation Model govefned by a Constitution dated 18 March 2019
and re8isiered with the Charities Commission on 3 April 2019. The affairs of the charity are mana8ed by the charity
trustee5 elected at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Constitution
Oblertlves and Artivlties
The objertives of the charity are-
To help and educate the young people of the Prestwood & Great Missenden area so as to develop their
physical, mental and soclal capacities, that they may grow as individuals and responsible members of
society, and that their life opportunities may be enhanced.
The charity aims to achieve the above objethves by promoting and supporhn8 Youth activities.

Achlevements and Performance
l. Following the withdrawal of the Misbourne School's facilities in October 2023. provlsion of an after school
facility run by a paid youth worker and supported by MAY Trustees & volunteer5 was suspended from that
tfme.
In the period immediately afterward5 and since. contact wlth the school has been maintained on a perlodic
basis to determine whether MAY would be able to engage with the young people at another time (lunch-
timel, however has not prove feasible.
In an attempt to 5dentify other avenue5 through which MAY mlght continue with its oblecttves of providln8
for the young people of the area it serves. MAY representatives met on a number of occasions to discu55
various options. At these meetings it was concluded that MAY does not have the practical resources to run
initiatives Itself, but should explore working withlsupportin8 third parties, elther financially or by providing
volunteers.
In Ilght of the above-mentione(I developments, and subsequent di5CU5sions, it was eventually decided that
unfortunately MAY would not be in a position to fully utilise the grant that had been awarded by The
Rothschild Foundation to pay for a professional youth worker. After dlscus5ions with The Rothschild
Foundation a refund of the unspent grant monies was made.
Durin8 the period covered by this report, although MAY has not be active in providing facilitles and
opportunities for the young people of the area, it continues to search out means by which it might achieve
this objective in the future. For this reason there has been no move to wind up the charity at the present
time.
Reserves Pollcy
Alihough MAY doesn'l have any property to maintain, so eliminating the need to hold funds in reserve to meet any
unexpected related cost5, MAY'5 condnulng aim in these uncertain time5 15 to ensure that there are sufficlent funds

engages in
