Achievements and activities:
2022123 was an excellent year for the Hungerford Youth and Community Centre IHYCC); our youth clubs
and holiday camps blossomed and we could finally see the results of all our hard work. This was in no small part
thanks to excellent staff members who showed incredible dedication and enthusiasm for supporting young
people in our community through artivities and high quality youth sessions. Also to our volunteers who helped
run sessions alongside our youth workers, the sessions could not run without them and they are a testament to
how much the community of Hungerford values tts youth ￿ntre. We feel very fortunate to have 12 volunteers,
including 4 young volunteers, across our youth sessions", they are all DBS checked and have done a basic
safeguarding course.
In May 2022, were delighted to have Rachael 5taines join our board as safeguarding trustee; her
professional background in secondary school safeguarding is invaluable.
We currently run-.

Home ed youth club-for home educated chIld￿n lage range 9 to 15 years).
'Ils' _ a youth club for children in school years 5 and 6.

everyone else. This program is supported by West Berkshire Council.
HYCC Days Away- day trip5 for children aged 9 to 18, low-income families are offered free places and at
reduced c05t to everyone else.
141 young people attended our sessions regularly, aged between 9 and 15 years old; they come to our
sessions because they choose to and we always include them as much as possible in deciding which
activities we run and the fomat our sessions should take.
Young people from Ils and 15s youth clubs went on a trip to Cadburfs World, I￿ young people went
trampolining and on a trip to Lazer tag.
This year we also ran an art competition where the prize was to take part in a graffiti workshop; it
doubled up as a useful decoration projert a5 we now have an exciting mural in the Stal￿ell I It was unveiled
to the public in November by the Mayor of Hungerford at our 10 years celebration- ten years since our
youth centre has been self-funded. We feel so proud of how farthe centre has come in that time: ten years
ago, It was destlned to be closed down nevertheless It was saved by the dedicated work and enthusiasm of
community members.
In the winter, we organised for a skating rink to be set up for one day in our MUGA court, many local
people took part and had a fun time with their families and friends.
Overall. 2022123 was an hugely positive year for HYCC, we achieved what we intended and more. We
ended the period in March with an application to the National Lottery for £90,IM) over five years, our
fingers are crossed that we will be successful and so be able to continue our good work with young people
in our rural community. The work we do is so important and is truly appreciated by tts beneficiaries,

Our main source of income is through grants. Overall our income from grants reduced from £57,681 in FY21122
to £44,529 in FY22123. This is mainly due to one off grants received in FY21122 from UK Youth1£3,5001 and
COVID assistance from West Berkshire Council1£8,OLKsl that were not received in FY22123. We re￿1ve ongoing
financial support from local charities, individual donors, Greenham Trust. Hungerford Town Council and
Hungerford Town and Manor. In FY22123 we received £15,0￿ IFY21122 £I5,LY￿} from the National Lottery
FLtnd for the Youth Worker projett. We continue to work hard to find funders who can support our ongoing
plans for the development of services whid) can be provided at the community centre.
The opening up of activities after the pandemic restrictions has continued and as a result income from hall hire
continues to increase as the centre is used by a wide variety of community groups. This has contributed £6,544
hall hire income this year IFY21122 £3,186) a continued improvement year on year. The employment of the
HYCC Director directly contributes to this income, without their management of the bookings system this
income stream would not be so successful.
Youth club sessions have Eone from strength to strength this year thanks to the hard work of our youth workers
and the support of volunteers. The income from these sessions was £3.716. We continued to run the holiday
and food IHAFI actlvlty program. Places on thls pro8ram are funded by West Berkshire Council for children in
receipt of free school meals. The West Berkshlre funding for these places in FY2V23 was £7,280, with other

income from these places totalling £2,706. The HYCC staff, trustees and volunteers also continue to fundraise
for HYCC ongoing running costs through a series of events. This year HYCC held a 10 year celebration event
(marking 10 years of being self-fundedl. This along with sponsored events by staff and volunteers. as well as
income from West Berkshire Charity Lottery ticket sales altogether raised £5.444.
All of the activity at the centre has led to an increase in outgoings which have increased from £46,253 in
FY2V22 to £69,691 in FY22123. The most significant outgoings are the salary costs of HYCC employees which
this year was £36,462 IFY21122 £26,767) along with rentlservice charge which increased from £5.(￿ in
FY21122 to £6,250 in FY22123, and this is due to increase again in FY23124. Additional ongoing running costs of
the centre of cleaning and maintenance as well as equipment costs have all increased, due to the Increased
activlty levels as well as increase in prices. The provision of youth club supplles. sesslon costs and trips expenses
totalled £9,799 this year compared to £1,817 in FY21/22. We continue to manage ourcosts whilst ensuring we
have sufficient funds to invest and maintain the community centre so tt is a safe and welcoming environment
for all users. All the recent activity, and planned future activity, at the centre requires careful planning and
management of funds. We finish the year 22123 wtth un￿strIrted cash funds of £43,4O). Our reserves are
maintained at £25,000121122 - £25.(KK)I to cover the equrvalent of 6 months of outgoing costs in the case of
unexpected hardship lin accordance with our reserves policy}. This is in line with FY21122.
