Section D Summary of the main achlevements of the charlty during the year Achievements and performance The Youth Club has operated SussfUllY during 2025, although from a temporary location during the building of a new youth hall facility- In August 2024 the Trustees sold the existing Youth Hall and its surrounding land to a developer. The Trustees received £514,000 in 2024 but are contracted to lease a new youlh hall that is being constructed by the developer. The price of the lease will be for the same amount {£514,000) in 2026 and the lease will be for 999 years at a peppercom rent. Completion of the new hall constructs'on and uptske of the lease is anticipated by August 2026; wth formal re-opening of the Youth Club at the naw pernnent site in September 2026. Followng dosure in September 2024 and throughout 2025 the Youth Club has continued to operate SussfUllY from a nearby community hall in Waltham Chase and utilising a community minibus to provide transport. With the new temporary location an additional demographic of young people from the neighbouring villages have also attended meetings. and with the new school year membership has grown by over 50°A in 2025. As well as weekly on-site meetings the Youth Club also organised external adivities and took part in community events {KidsTreat and the annual Christmas Fayrel. trips to the theatre and pantomime and visits to sport facilibes such as mini gotf. Staffing and supervision of activities have been maintained consistently throughout the period with paid and volunteer employees. The Youth Leader activty and safeguarding responsibilty was undertaken directly by a designated Trustee during exlended matemity leave of the normal Youth Leader. A new pemianent Youth Leader and a Junior Youth Worf(er have been employed as of Deomber 2025 in addition to the existing team. Both are being finanalty supported by the BW Youth Trust to undertake certified training. The safeguarding responsibility lies with the new Youth Leader and reporting direcdy to a designated Trustee. All staff and trustees meet DBS requirements. Completion and relwation to the new hall is anticipated as mid- 2026. The primary purpose of the facilities will remain the youth club weekly meetings providing support and guidance. education and personal development of young people through skills leaming and building Setf-Confiden. Full utilisation and funding for the facilities and youth activities wll also be achieved by supporting other communty-based organisations through the regular hall hire of the new optimised hall and meeting spaces. Income from hall hire. which historically has substantially funded the core actrvities of the youth club. has nol been possible in the year due to the redevelopment and closure of the hall. As a result, the Youth Club made a deficit of just over £7,000 in 2025. Following the sale of the Youth Hall the Trustees have placed the sale proceeds on deposit wth Lloyds and Bardays and CCLA. to generate some income without placing the capital at risk.
