Chairs Review of the Year 2024/2025
Here at HJYC we have a very solid and committed team of 7 trustees who regularly help out at on club nights twice a week. Over the past 12 months the number of children attending the club, as well as the number of bookings, have increased, and we feel we are having a positive benefit on the community. Hethersett is a fast growing community and many of our regular bookings, apart from puppy training, are geared toward young children and toddlers so we feel we’re doing a great job at bringing the local community together and fostering future club attendees!
We also have 3 paid youth workers, Bex, Poppy and Katie, who regularly give up their time on a Wednesday evening to support the children offering them all kinds of activities including popcorn and pancake making, resin moulding, darts, air hockey, table tennis and basketball as well as football and team games outside. One of our most popular evenings when we had almost 50 children attend was an animal sensory experience where the children had the opportunity to handle small animals including ferrets and big spiders! We’re hoping to be able to do this again as the kids loved it. We also have a quiet corner where we now have a shelf full of donated books.
As well as the very welcome and generous grant we receive from the Parish Council the money from bookings allows us to continue offering the youth club as a service to the community. We have been able to purchase new furniture and equipment for the kitchen to accommodate birthday parties, meetings and family gatherings. We are constantly coming up with new activities and ideas but above all, we feel that the club is a safe haven for the children to come and play, sit quietly, read, play chess, decorate cupcakes, or just hang out with their friends. Our numbers are growing and we now have more than 70+ children on our books. The number of regular bookings have increased too, and we feel this has a lot to do with the renovations which completed last year. The club offers a clean, modern, fully equipped space and is warm and welcoming – we’re getting some great feedback from hirers!
Our local Community Beat Officer PC James Smith is still very keen to be seen as a friendly face in the community and to building relationships with the young people. We enjoy his visits and the kids do too, 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.
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. 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.
