Chairman`s Annual Report Financial Year 2024-25
This financial year has been positive, with forecasts being accurate. Youth club numbers are steady, which has maintained higher running costs in activity purchases and the annual increase in utilities.
The Youth Club runs 5-7 youth club sessions per week, during term time and 1-2-1 support. Offering a wide range of activities in-house and continuing to use the booking system, helping to ensure numbers stay at a manageable level. The youth club sessions are around 30.
Updates
Yatton Youth Club has participated in community events throughout the year and have seen several party hire events, although infrequently, both really helps youth club numbers, alongside advertising what we do in school newsletters and through our social media presence.
Yatton Youth club house Yatton Foodbank, a Dementia Café and the Lions coffee morning all that support the local community.
Youth club sessions see young people enjoying craft, jewelry making and food activities each session.
In addition, we run a Supper Club weekly where young people cook and eat together, allowing a space to chat, share worries or concerns or youth workers can signpost to support.
The youth club run a SEN Dungeons and Dragons group monthly and it is well attended, it offers support to, not only, young people who attend but to their carers, who get to chat and enjoy a bacon bap.
Young parents has seen members move on to work when their children have started school and it has seen new young parents join, this group is an informal group where we offer activities to children, with the help of Yatton children’s centre staff, and refreshments for parents with onsite activities on offer.
Thanks
We continue to be able to run the youth work sessions thanks to Yatton Parish Council and their valuable financial support in the form of a generous grant.
A huge thank you to our very supportive local community, with special mention to Yeo Valley Lions, Yeo Moor PCC, the Lodge of Agriculture, 7 stars foundation and Groundwork UK.
