We were also able to purchase additional gym equipment to improve the gym facilities available. We have continued to apply for funding to again provide free coaching sessions for youths from disadvantaged backgrounds in the area. 2. Achievements and Performance During the year, we made substantial progress towards our objectives: Rented out space within the facility to generate income, which has been entirely reinvested into rental costs, building decoration, and upgrading essential parts of the facility. Began free training project for disadvantaged youths in the area conducting weekly classes with volunteer coaches. Continued grant applications through bid-writing company to help with securing larger funding opportunities. Attended meetings with Salford CVS to explore further opportunities for funding. Submitted funding applications aimed at enabling us to commence new projects. Began working providing training sessions for Beyond Empower for disabled adults and youths. The main gym area is now completed with ongoing upgrades to equipment and facilities. We are able to provide free coaching projects targeted at youths from disadvantaged backgrounds, which will offer opportunities for personal development and physical fitness but are looking for funding to help develop this and put on additional classes. 3. Financial Review All funds raised have been spent directly on the refurbishment and maintenance of the facility. Our rental income has been fully allocated to: Rent payments and running costs for the facility space including development. Equipment purchases. We continue to pursue further funding to complete the roof repairs and to support our youth coaching programs. 4.

Risk Management The trustees regularly review the main risks faced by the charity. particularly financial risks associated with securing adequate funding. Steps have been taken to mitigate these risks by applying for various grants and again engaging professional support in the forni of a bid- writing service.
