Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From: 1[st] April 2020 to 31[st] March 2021
Charity name: The Haslemere Youth Hub
Charity registration number: 1182842
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To help young people, especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities, so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
In accordance with the charity’s lease with Waverley Borough Council the permitted use of the building is as a “youth centre and associated café to include community activities taking place at the property for the benefit of the local community including both those provided directly by the Tenant _(Haslemere Youth Hub)_and those permitted by it.” Users are, therefore, limited to clubs/organisations that provide activities/facilities/advice for youths up to the age of 18 years old. But in relation to a young person with Special Educational Needs this is increased to 25 years old as the Children and Families Act 2014 defines a ‘young person’ as being aged 16-25. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | During this year the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in providing a facility for the children and young people of Haslemere, and its surrounding area as there is no similar facility available. These activities have been curtailed due to Government Covid-19 restrictions on the opening of community buildings. |

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | There are about 30 community clubs/organisations that provide a multitude of activities/facilities/advice. Unfortunately, these were all curtailed due to Government restrictions on Covid-19. However, early in the next financial year we are able to open the facilities more and users are already booking and enquiring about the availability of room hire. |

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The main objectives, during what has been a very difficult year for everyone, were to: 1. refurbish the kitchen as it fell within the charity’s responsibilities with the landlord. Practically this was made easier by having Covid restrictions which only allowed take-aways from the café and fewer users in the building. 2. provide support via CAMHS for young people struggling with their mental health. |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The charity was unable to hold fundraising activities this year. However, it successfully applied for the following grants: |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Considering the fact that trading income was, inevitably, much lower than the previous year the trustees feel the charity is in as good a financial position as could be hoped. As well as the above grants the charity was fortunate to receive a total of £17,102 in donations. £2,000 of which is specifically for improving the toilet facilities. In line with the charity’s lease, and maintenance responsibilities, rent on the building was due to be paid from May 2020. The landlord waived the rent payable from May-August, due to the 1stCovid lockdown, so in this year the charity has paid 50% of the total rent due. There were sufficient funds to be able to completely refurbish the kitchen. The landlord has given permission to defer refurbishment of the toilet facilities for up to 2 years. It is hoped this will be done sooner rather than later. |
