From 1[st] April 2021 to 31[st] March 2022
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 children and 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 were, once again, curtailed due to Government Covid-19 restrictions on the opening of community buildings. |

Para 1.38 | N/A |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | The building was closed for a few months during this year, due to Government restrictions on Covid-19 opening of community buildings, so volunteers were either not needed or unable to be in the building. |

Since then the charity has found it difficult to get volunteers as it is finding people have either had to return to paid employment, or until recently were reticent to be in a community building.

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. These were curtailed, again, due to Government restrictions on Covid-19. However, most have returned since the facilities have been fully reopened and some activities are proving even more popular. Unfortunately we are also finding there is more need for support to children’s mental health. |

You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The main achievement against objectives set this year has simply been to remain open when we have been able to do so, while following Government Covid regulations, so that the charity can provide a facility where people feel safe and welcome to come for their children’s activities, help and advice. |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The charity was unable to hold fundraising activities this year. However, Haslemere Town Council did give a revenue grant of £5,000 towards the rent of £21,000 payable to Waverley Borough Council. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | When Government Covid regulations restricted the opening of community buildings again the trustees were concerned about continuing to pay ongoing overheads. However, at the year-end trustees were pleased to see that funds were healthier than they had thought they might be. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves statingwhytheyare held |
Para 1.22 | Restricted Funds are held for: •specifics mentioned in donations received •known large expenditure that is due to be incurred |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | Overheads (rent/utilities etc.) £10,500 Staff £5,000 Projects (e.g. refurb toilets) £3,732 In addition to these earmarked reserves of £19,232 the charity has £25,205 of general reserves. |

| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | N/A |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | Due to Government Covid regulations the facility had to close for 3 months of this year. On re-opening attendances group/class numbers had to be restricted. The café was also under-used with people less comfortable in socialising. We also lost the supplier of sandwiches/wraps etc which reduced café income. This loss was due to the supplier unable to find drivers. This is an ongoing problem as other companies are unwilling to supply relatively small orders. |
