## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 01/07/2021 Period start date To 30/06/2022** ## **Period end date** **Charity name: VoxThrive** ## **Charity registration number:1195128** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To act as a resource for supporting the
mental health of young people by providing
a range of creative musical, primarily vocal,
activities as a means of:
•Building resilience and confidence;
•Providing new ways of communicating
thoughts and feelings;
•Developing long-term coping strategies
for the future wellbeing of our
beneficiaries in the Thames Valley.| |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|It is VoxThrive’s first year in operation and
therefore we have mainly been involved in
set-up activities – acquiring essential
equipment, establishing connections with
bodies needed to undertake our main
purpose etc.
In particular we have:
§
Established our position as a member
of the Children & Young People’s
Forum for West Berkshire through the
West Berkshire Volunteer Centre.
§
Made connections with a local charity
which offers counselling to young
people to learn from their experience
We have demonstrated our ability to run
programmes by
§
Providing a free family workshop to
learn a Christmas song for the Newbury
Christmas lights switch-on event 2021.
§
Jointly organised an ‘open mic’- style
Youth Music night with two other
organisations and sourced many of the
participants.
We spent a considerable amount of time in
discussion with a local charitable
organisation, exploring the possibility of a
partnership in order to gain access to
additional facilities. Ultimately this proved
not to be beneficial for us and we had to
withdraw from the process of establishing a
formal agreement.| |||In May 2022 we ran a fundraising event –
VoxFest – which was open for the local
community to attend and enjoy musical
performances by youth and adult choirs
and other groups whilst enjoying
refreshments and other entertainments.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
