Achievements and activities:
The objective for this year was to recover from the Covid dosures and retum to our plans of
expansion and growth.
To summarise the year in one word: resilience! Indeed, the year began as the previous period
had ended.. with great difficulty. Covid closure and social distancing caused terrible damage to our
organisation on many levels, not least because we lost our youth club volunteers, our director and
eventually our youth worker. Wi
Whereas in March 2020. our sights were set on a significant expansion of our activities, a year
later our small and emergent charity had suffered huge setbacks. In April 2021, trustees felt like nothing
was working and all their hard work was getttng them nowhere.
Despite these massive challenges, by April 2021 three new trustees had been recruited for
their experience in key areas - notably in recruitment and employment - and together the trustees
persevered and persevered until finally results started to show. In the end. it was a SUCssl year, full
of change and success:
Both staff positions wgro filled wrth exlIent people, and they in tum have recruited 15
voluntgers - including 3 young leaders - to help run youth clubs. Youth clubs havo openad and
are already full, proving that there is a need for youth clubs in our area. ICE. our youth club for
children with additional needs, is running at capacity with 15 children attending each week. Our
youth club for children in school years 5 and 6 is over capacity,. we now alternate years 5 and 6 each
week to avoid having to tum young people away.
Trustees initiated a total review and overhaul of our policies and procedures with a view to
attaining a Safe Space accredrtation from UK Youth. a mark of excellence in providing a youth centre
and activities for young people.
Our digital systems have been migrated to Mi¢rosoft, which saved us a lot of money and
improved our technology by giving us free a¢sS to the latest versions of offi 365 software, including
Teams and Microsoft Foms - all with a high level of security so our data storage can be fully secu.
In the December school holidays we delivered a food and activity programme in collaboration
with West Berkshire Council. offering free activities and a meal to children in receipt of Pupil
Premium funding.

CCTV was installed in the building. this means the upstairs n)oms can be supervised more
'loosely' by watching the monrtors from downstairs. This has improved the experience for young people
at the ntre.
So the key word for this year was resilien. HYCC showed that it not only has great potential,
but that it is here to stay. The year 2022 marks 10 years of being self funded, which again shows
that despite facing much adversty. our little youth ntre is needed in Hungerford and will continue to
thrive.
tatsmgnt:
Trustees for HYCC take their duties very seriously; they kp at the forefront of their minds at
all times the importantvalues and rules outlined in the charty Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Financial review:
Our main source of income is through grants. We receive ongoing financial support from local
charities, individual donors and our town council. We recerved £15,000 pounds during the year from
the National Lottery Fund supporting the Youth Worker project. At the start of the year we also reiVed
£8,000 Covid business relief support from West Berkshire Council. We continue to work hard to find
funders who can support our ongoing plans for the development of servi$ which can be provided at
the community ntre.
The employment of a director at HYCC to manage the ntre, as well as the opening up of
activities after Covid restrictions, has enabled us to significantly increase the income from hall hire.
This has contributed £3,186 pounds to HYCC in 21122, which is a significant improvement on £879 in
20121 bul not quite up to the pr&Covid levels of £5.700 raised in 19r20.
Youth club sessions, including the holiday food and activity program funded by West Berkshire
Council, has provided additional income of £1.139 (20121- £nil).
All of the activity at the centre has led to an increase in outgoings. This is mainly the salary costs
of our two employees along with rent, cleaning, maintenance as well as equipment costs, including the
essential CCTV installation. We continue to manage our costs whilst ensuring we have sufficient funds
to invest and maintsin the community centre so it is a safe and welcoming environment for all users.

All the rent activrty, and planned future activty, at the ntre requires careful planning and
management of funds. We finish the year 21122 with unrestricted cash funds of £32,901. Our reserves
are maintained at £25,000 pounds {20121- £25,000) to cover the equivalent of 6 months of outgoing
costs in the case of unexpected hardship (in accordan with our reseNes policy). This is in line with
FY 20121.
Structure and governance:
Hungerford Youth and Community Centre was registered as a CIO in August 2019, its goveming
document is a constitution.
New trustees are usually recruited by current trustees during the year. They are asked to a first
trustee meeting and an infomal discussion takes pla, after which the trustees decide unanimously
to accept the applicant as a trust. All trustees are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding
and to be DBS checked.
The Hungerford Youth and Communrty Centre sits at the heart of tts community and as such, it
nurtures connections to the local schools, town council, police force, leisure ntre and family Centre.
