Our Aims and ObjecMves

PYP helps young people reach their full potenBal by providing acBviBes and support for young people in Prudhoe in ways that:

MeeMng the public benefit requirement

Trustees are aware of their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duBes to which the guidance is relevant.

In meeBng their purpose ‘ to help young people reach their full poten1al “’ they have run centre based and outreach sessions for young people and work with other youth groups to improve provision of services for young people.

AcMviMes

PYP now runs a variety of sessions from different venues in the community.

Junior Youth Club runs 2 sessions on a Wednesday night due to the high demand. We spent Bme cooking, creaBng craks, team projects and looking at issues including relaBonships, bullying and social media.

Girls Group comes together for an hour a week to take part in acBviBes that relate to girls, these include mental health, supporBng each other, confidence, and self-esteem.

Senior Youth Club has seen a new group come through which has allowed us to build relaBonships and gain trust between the youth workers and new young people. As one of our quieter groups, it gives us the opportunity to have one to one conversaBon with young people experiencing difficulBes.

Lads Group is a new iniBaBve following the success of our Girls Group. This new session currently runs once a month. The boys enjoy being acBve and sporBng acBviBes seem to be the most popular.

We do outreach sessions in the community and once a month at Prudhoe Community High School. We have been able to share informaBon including what we do, what we offer, which includes one to one support and access to the C-Card scheme (a sexual health service).

During the school holidays we have organised trips and centre based sessions.

We conBnue to support Happy Faces by employing a member of staff to run their sessions. We support that staff member by offing supervision, training, and guidance on a regular basis.

PYP is a member of Tynedale Youth Forum where we share essenBal informaBon, good pracBce, and training opportuniBes. PYP aaends larger Tynedale Youth Forum events, where Prudhoe young people gain opportuniBes to come together with other young people to have shared experiences.

Financial Review

PYP received grants from many different funders, these include Prudhoe Town Council, Northumberland Police, Blackea Family Community First Fund, Joicey Trust, Sir James Knoa, High Sheriff Award, The 1989 Willian Charitable Trust, Reeds Grassroots and Northumberland Village Homes Trust, Benevity, NCC Community Chest, Graham Belford

Charitable Sealement, The Barbour FoundaBon, Loaery Fund, NCC Micro Grant and NCC Holiday AcBviBes Fund.

It also benefited from small grants and fundraising efforts and would like to thank upcycling project, people who play the Northumberland Loaery, room hire support from Prudhoe Community Partnership, Friends of Eastwood Park who supported us financially to take a group of young people on a trip and the Queens Hall who have allowed us to bring musicians to work with our young people.

In the financial year 2021-2022 income totalled £80,503, of which £66,835 is restricted funding and £13,668 is unrestricted.

Expenditure was mainly staff £32,737, room hire £2,352, acBviBes/resources £6,278 and trips/residenBals £9191 and finally bank charges of £72 totalling £50629.

There was a balance of £69,992 at the year end.

Assets

PYP does not yet have any fixed assets but held assets in cash at the year end for future acBviBes.

Plans for Future Periods

PYP wishes to sustain successful projects through fundraising on an annual basis. PYP will develop new projects that address the hobbies, interests and needs of young people.

We want to maintain our staff team of 7 and expand our team when possible, to ensure we have substanBal youth workers to cover sessions.

We will involve young people in decisions we make about the service we run and seek feedback from young people and parents/carers annually.

Risk Review

PYP has reviewed all policies including safeguarding, staff and volunteers have completed safeguarding training and one first aider is always on site of any organised acBvity. These measures reduce the risks in working with young people. The main risk is aaracBng sufficient long term funding for staff and acBviBes. To resolve this the trustees and staff will aim to source funding that is awarded for a duraBon of 3 years.

Governing Documents

PYP became a charitable incorporated organisaBon (CIO) established on 9th September 2019. The charity submits annual accounts to the charity commission that have been independently audited.

Structure, Governance and Management

PYP is governed by the trustees who are elected by current trustees. There may be up to 10 trustees and two Prudhoe Town Council representaBves. Trustees meet bi- monthly.

Since the AGM in September 2021 Bethany Eltringham has stepped down as a trustee and we have welcomed KirsBe Sample and Jessica Hosking (treasurer) to the board of trustees.

Related ParMes

PYP receives funding from Prudhoe Town Council. Prudhoe Town Council has appointed two Councillors as representaBves.
