1Compass Annual Report:
noortQhArity
As the Chairperson of 1 Compass Youth Support Charity, it is my privilege to reflect on the pastyear-a year
marked by remarkable achievements and notable challenges that have shaped ourjourneyand strengthened
ourcommitmentto the youth we serve.
AGhievements
This year, 1Compass has reached new heights in supporting and empoweringyoung people across our
community. We have successfully continued several innovative projects that have made a significant impact:
Expanslon of Youth Programs.. We continued our programs that focus on mental healrh, career
guidance, and life skills. These programs have been met with enthusiasm and have received positive
feedback f rom both participants and their families. In addition we now offer a positive reward scheme
for young people who are actively engaging with this service.
Communlty Engagement: Our outreach efforts have grown, with more young people engaging in our
activities and events than ever before. We hosted a series of community events thatfostered a sense
of belonging and provided a platform for young voices to be heard.
P8rtnership5 and Collaborations: We forged new partn8rships with localvoluntary and statutory
sectors, schools, and other businesses. These collaborations have enhanced our resources and
allowed us to otler a broader range of services.
Secured fundingto operate at fullcapacity.. Saleryfortwo staff roles has been secured forthe next
twelve months, which enabl65 groups to operate everyweek and developthe charities reputation
within the community.
Challenges
While we celebrate our successes, we also recognize that challenges are what tests our resilience:
Fundlng and Resources: Securing consistentfunding remains a challenge. We have researched ways
to diversify our funding sources. but there is still a need for sustainable financial support to continue
and expand our services. Core funding h8s grown. 1Compass h8ve made considerable contributions
towardy utilities and overheads at the Tan Y Lan centre.
Pandemlc Impact= The ongoing effects ofthe pandemic have posed significantobstaclgs, from
restrictions on in-person activities to the increased demand for mental health support. but tho naed
for in-person interaction is deeply felt.
Youth Disengagement: Despite our efforts, some young people remain disengaged and isolated.
Addressing this requires innovative approaches and persistent outreach to ensure no one is left
behind.
LooklngAhead
As we move fo￿ard. ourfocus remains on the well-beingand development ofthe young people we serve. We
are committ8d to-

Innovative Programs: Continuingto develop and implement programs that addressthe evolving
needs of ouryouth.
Strengthening CommunityTies.' Deepeningour engagementwith the communityto build a
supportive networkfor ouryoung people.
Sustainable Grovrth: Pursuing sustainable fundingsolutions to ensure the longevity and impact of

In conclusion, the past year has been a testament to the strength, dedication, and passion of our team,
volunteers, and supporters. Together, we have made significant strides in supporting ouryouth. and l am
confidentthat we will continue to overcome challenges and achieve even greater success in the comingyear.

It remains a priority forthe Board to risk assess and further develop our fundraising strategy by retaining
our connections with local businesses and org8nis8tions. Our strategy will include developing our
contacts and partnerships with appropriate Trusts and Grant making bodies seeking tunding for the
future security of the scheme. We endeavour to continue to build up our reserves through fundraising
and grant applications, by adding these to the unrestricted funds.
Should these avenues be unsuccessful 1Compass will downsize its activities and work towards re-
developing the service where possible. If this proves to be unsuccessful. we would follow the agreed
Exit Strategy with regard to closing down the service.
