Registered Charity No. 272122
Chairman’s Annual Report Financial Year 2023-24.
In 2023/24 Yatton Youth Club has continued to thrive. We remain focussed on our key objective of providing a safe space where young people in Yatton can develop their skills and experiences, through guided sessions and wider support enabling them to be better able to deal with challenges both now and in the future.
Our Youth & Community Worker and the wider youth support team continues to enable delivery of these services in a caring, compassionate manner, supporting the young people through the challenges they face. We do this across 7 youth club sessions that include 4 open youth club sessions for Junior & Senior school aged young people, a supper club, a young parents group with activities for the young people and their children and a SEN Dungeons and Dragons group plus adhoc events.
Ensuring we have enough funding to enable continuation of the service remains a challenge and we thank Yatton Parish Council for the significant funding they provide to us.
In addition, as the population of Yatton grows we have continued to explore how to ensure we are engaging with young people from across the whole parish, even though they may be some distance from our meeting space.
We continue to encourage other groups to use our facilities for their activities, including the Foodbank and the local branch of the Alzheimer’s society
In addition to Yatton Parish Council we would like to thank all the other organisation that have made donations to us over the year including the National Lottery, Co-Op and Yatton Horticultural Society the latter two donations have enabled a very interesting vegetable growing project to be started that is expected to continue to give interesting activity to the young people for many years to come.
