YES AGM 20.05.2025.
Chairman's Report
YES has continued in it5 quest to help the Young People of Stilton. We took the step to b
come a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) No 1209188. The Youth Zone and fund-
ralsing have been ovr main activities. We will be taking part in the Open Gardens wlth the
Church and Stilton Gardening Club to further our collaboration with other village groups.
Our Christmas fair was once agaln a great success and has become a looked forward to
annual event by the village and continues to be our main fundraiser.
We hosted a free °Climbing Wall. se55ion which wa5 well attended with over 100 climbs
taking place, ovr thanks go to the PC for concessionary use of the pavilion and field, and
we will be hosting a"Trampoline Bungee" this year.
Our Youth Zone goes from strength to strength with a regular attendance of around 15
youngster5 We will be inwting Year 6 after the May half term which helps build a bridge
from primary to secondary school. Summer and outdoor5 attracts more youths due to the
use of the field for sport5 activities. but winter and indoors still provides a safe haven with
rnanyactivities to do that are still appealing to them. We are grateful for the concession-
ary hall hire rate given by the PC. but ultimately, we need a space the youths can call their
own. we believe that this will attract a larger attendance especially for the Yr 9-11 popula-
tlon.
Our committee has remained the same in number and it would be good to try and attract
some new members in the coming year. WewelcOmedd￿￿￿ into our group. and
she has become a valued member helping at Youth Zone.
All members have had their DBS checks renewed and have taken part in safeguarding
training and awareness.
Several donations of equipment have been made including arts and crafts materials a. full-
size table tennis table and a pool/ air hockey table. It is so overwhelming to receive such
donations but storage is becoming an issue. Investment from our own funds has also
taken pla￿ with the addition of a games Station electronic dart5 and replacement of
some standard equipment. We have also invested in a Chrome notebook so that we can
keep words of our actfvltles and any health and safety or safeguardlng Issues.
Closer collaboration and engagement are needed with both the PC and other groups
within the village. Hopefully we can get our voice heard and enjoy better engagement in
the coming year.
Thank you for all yourtime and commitment, it feels worth It, and l am sure we are making
a difference.
