A warm farewell and thank you to Keith

Postance

It’s with great sadness that I announce the retirement of our longest serving trustee, Keith Postance. Keith has been our Vice Chair and Honorary Secretary for over 40 years. He came on to the committee back in the early 80’s, and has been the club’s biggest supporter ever since. He helped generate fundraising ideas and always volunteered at multiple events and functions for the club.

Previous to this, Keith had always done work behind the scenes at Knight & Co for the Black family, whilst Sir Cyril Black was actively involved with the day-to-day business of the club. Keith was our main liaison with the Sydney Black Trust after Sir Cyril’s passing. He is a good friend of Roy Crabtree and Jennifer Crabtree whom still to this day are very generous supporters of the club and together, the three have continued to keep our affiliation with the Black Family alive.

Now to Keith - Endeavour youth club, its staff and members, are eternally grateful for the consistent support you have given the club over the years. You helped keep Endeavour alive in ways we wouldn’t know how and for that we will forever be in your debt.

On a personal note, Keith, I would like to thank you for all the advice you have given me over the 23 years I have been manger. I couldn’t have done it without your support.

With that said, enjoy your retirement and please don’t be a stranger! You are and always

Message from the Chairman

In what was a year of consolidation for Endeavour, Nick and his team continued their sterling work, delivering a total of 35 weeks of Youth provision throughout the year.

Whilst we are working amongst a challenging economic back drop, we made significant strides as we work towards achieving our objective of becoming financially self-sufficient. We entered into an exciting partnership with Butterflies and continued to build on the successful partnerships we have forged with other key stakeholders.

Whilst the past three years have undoubtedly been challenging, I am immensely proud of the work and support that Endeavour continues to provide. My sincere thanks to Nick and the Endeavour team who have worked tirelessly, in providing outstanding leadership and support to our members.

Finally, I would like to thank the following key stakeholders for their continued support to Endeavour:

Charles Peacock (Peacock Trust)

Merton Giving (MVSC)

Monc club (old Ruts old boys)

London Community Foundation

Wimbledon Foundation

Penney, Ruddy and Winter (Investment fund and donation)

50 years of Wey Island!

In 2022, Wey Island celebrated its 50[th] anniversary. The Island has been a huge part of Endeavours residentials since 1985, being a staff and member favorite.

Club leaders report

2022 was a year of transition for the Endeavour. After two very tough years on the club and the members, we started the year hoping club life would return to normal. We decided to ease the club back to pre-pandemic status with Covid still hanging around for the first part of the year. Following government guidelines, we were able to open restriction free when club returned after the Easter break.

We saw a massive uptake in attendance within both sections of the club as club life returned to normal. This was great to see as we knew many of the children and young people had struggled throughout the pandemic, with not being able to socialise. As club returned to normality, we were able to use Wey Island for our residential’s a few times throughout the summer months. The members, as always, had a great time and we felt it was good for them to get outside in the countryside. We also used this year get back to our annual London lights trip which has been part of our club programme for over 30 years.

In 2022 we saw our expansions night finally start up after being delayed 2 years due to the pandemic. This session is specifically for children and young people who have autism or learning difficulties. The aim of the session is to bridge the gap in provision for 10–13-year-old within the borough as there is no youth provision for that age group. The long-term the aim is to ingrate them in to our generic youth club sessions. The young people that attend go to various schools across the borough and are members of Merton autistic society. With the success this project has already shown, I feel, as the club grows, we will be able to offer more than one weekly session to this group.

With poor mental health being so prominent within children and young people coming out of the pandemic, one of our main focuses of 2022 was to get our members back in to their normal routine at youth club sessions. As a club we felt the best way to bring stability was to offer a full range of activities within the club sessions.

Although 2022 was challenging in many ways, it felt that, by the end of the year, Endeavour was back to normality and club life was thriving again.

Treasurer’s report Julie Nadar

The trustees have managed the club’s budget very well in 2022. Nick, the club manager, has done very well in bidding for successful grants and fundraising events.

Our investment continued with Penney, Ruddy and Winter into 2022. They helped us to manage the investment wisely so we were able to withdraw a substantial amount to help us continue our work this year, without which our services would have been affected.

Welcoming Butterflies@Endeavour

In 2022 we welcomed in to the building Butterflies@Endeavour. This Butterflies@Endeavour. This is a new project born out of a great great great relationship built up over the pandemic between Nick Skilton Skilton and Maria Keys, who both volunteered for Dons Local Action

Local Action Group. After a short time in each other’s company, they realized they had so much in common and, as time went on, their ideas began to grow. The club felt it would be a good time for it to start expanding its work in to other specialist fields.

Maria is a domestic abuse advocate who is very well respected within her field of expertise. She founded and set up a very successful group called TLC, a drop-in center for women effected by domestic abuse. Maria visited Endeavour a few times over the pandemic and simply fell in love with it. She was also ready to expand her own work to focus on supporting young people who have been effect by domestic abuse and their families.

Launched in September 2022, Butterflies@Endeavour is now firmly part of thew club. We can already see the many benefits of having them in the club.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ENDEAVOUR CLUB Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and the related notes.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year (under s43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) if the 1993 Act); to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under s43 (7) (b) of the 1993 Act, as amended); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to

keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act;

and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
