Chairs Review of the Year
In April we welcomed Simon Carr as a new Trustee. Simon has taken an active role within the club and we thank him for his support so far. He has taken on the role of Deputy Safeguarding Lead and is a regular helper on the Wednesday club nights. We also said a sad farewell to Jacqueline Roper (now Chaman, congratulations Jacquline on getting married!) who was our Secretary and Safeguarding Lead and Nicola Jepson who now has her hands full with a new baby and returning to work after maternity leave. Nicola was our Bookings Secretary.
I would like to acknowledge the amazing support we have received over the years from the community, including a generous donation from Kett’s Kabin with which we purchased games and equipment., and not forgetting the much appreciated grant from Hethersett Parish Council.
Our refurbishment is now complete, so thanks again to Samantha England, former Chair of HJYC for instigating this grant. A massive thank you to Matt Knights, our Treasurer, for all his hard work in managing the renovation project and devoting so much of his time to the club. We would also like to thank the tradespeople who helped us shape our vision for the youth centre, we love the high standard of the work and have had some great feedback. Thank you Adrian Dearnley for auditing the accounts and the team of trustees for their time spent volunteering. Since completion, the number of bookings has increased steadily. We have several regular bookings as well as lots of birthday parties and family gatherings. We have had great feedback from hirers who are all very pleased with their bookings.
We have had regular visits from our local Police Community Officer PC James Smith. James is very keen to be seen as a friendly face in the community and to building relationships with the young people. He has taken the time to come and talk to the children bringing with him various types of hats and helmets, jackets including a flak jacket and handcuffs for them to try, and of course, having fun sitting in his car flashing the lights! The kids really enjoy his visits, and we appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule. James takes a genuine interest in the children and has a very strong duty of care towards the community. We are also planning a visit from the fire service and have an animal sensory experience booked in too.
In November we welcomed two new Assistant Youth Workers Poppy and Katie. We hope they will be happy in their new roles. Our members are constantly growing and on average there are around 35-40 attend on a Wednesday evening and 20 on a Friday evening. Welcome also to Melissa, are new regular Friday volunteer. We now have a total of 70 children registered on our books.
Once again, we would like to thank our Parish Council who support the club in terms of the yearly grant and giving their time to come along to key events. Without this funding we would struggle to continue. We feel that our club is an asset to the local community and get great feedback from the kids who attend regularly. We feel very positive about the future and are always looking out for new ideas and fun activities for the children.
