TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

The Trustees hereby present their report and the club’s financial statements for t he year ending 31 December 2023. This is the first report for the Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It superseded the former unincorporated charity (number 525035) which will be closed down in due course.

Objects

The objects of the charity, as set out in the constitution of 7[th] February 2023. are to help and educate boys, young men, girls, and young women through leisure-time activities so to develop their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved .

How we operate

The organisation's work focuses on young people aged between 5 - 25 years, the board ensures that the members needs are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the committee and its advisors. This enables the club to keep up to date with all relative changes and industry standards.

The board are familiar with the practical work of the club. The board have served the organisation as members and volunteers, their experience and encouragement to attend practical training sessions help maintain the board's skills base, this is reflected throughout the staff and volunteers who are also encouraged as part of the lifelong learning strategy and continued professional development.

The club is affiliated at board level to the Lancashire Boys' and Girls' Club, intern members of the National Association of Boys' and Girls' Clubs.

Connections

The club works closely with other organisations for aid and support. These include:

Children and Family Wellbeing Services Lancashire Constabulary Unity Trust Vulnerable Women’s Organisation Eastern European Umbrella Network Barden Primary School The Height Independent School Ribblesdale High School Holly Grove Special School Sir John Thursby High School Electricity North-West Garfield Weston At A Loss Police & Crime Commissioner

Significant Activities

The organisation has grown and developed a new way of operating over the last 12 months, and has found a more youth led feel to the day to day operations, this is mostly because of the newly formed

Youth Ambassadors role. Developed with the members, for the members, this has helped close the gap between senior management and the people who matter most: the members. Although a seemingly simple task, to manage and to gain a greater understanding of all users’ needs this has taken some time; part of this exercise has also seen the organisation become successful in a Youth Investment Fund grant.

This work is continuing over the next few months. Also, as mentioned above, we have become a CIO to safeguard the trustees, senior management and future of the organisation allowing for a sustainable business model to continue the amazing work of the charity.

Future Plans

The growth of the organisation in service users is not a problem and with young people inviting other young people along, we are growing at a very healthy rate. To maintain and sustain this level of growth, we have been successful in securing significant funding through the Department of Culture Media and Sport ’s Youth Investment Fund amounting to almost nearly £977k to develop the facilities creating additional space to service the growing membership along with additional areas for wellbeing and mental health support, separate families area, meeting rooms, seniors area, skate park and 3G pitch. The two year project will see a huge transformation as BBGC moves towards the next 125 years.

The creation of the Ambassadors role has opened up the board and members being able to meet and understand the full needs of the ever-changing youth and users of the club, this is vital to the future of the organisation and sees members becoming involved in the management of the charity from an early onset.

Risk management

The charity takes safeguarding of children and young people and other vulnerable beneficiaries of utmost importance. All staff and volunteers have relevant training and DBS checks.

Financially, the organisation aims to hold six months reserves as resilience to the uncertainty of grant funding. The trustees look at the work of key staff members and strengthen relationships with partners to help reduce risks in all areas within the organisation’s delivery.

Financial review

The attached Receipts and Payments account shows our financial performance in 2023. Of significance is the YIF and resultant costs. Time spent on this project had reduced the time available in seeking alternative funding. 2024 has continued to be difficult but the trustees are confident that grant applications being made plus seeking a regular donor base will bear fruit.

Thanks

Our thanks to all staff, volunteers, members and their parents for their contributions to the success of BBGC.
