CHAIR OF TRUSTEE’S REPORT
Reflecting on another transformative year for Dorset Youth, I am deeply impressed by the resilience, dedication, and ingenuity of our team and supporters. Your contributions have been pivotal in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities to enhance our impact across Dorset.
This year, Dorset Youth has continued to provide vital support to the voluntary and community sector working with young people aged 0-25. In a rapidly changing landscape, our commitment to innovation and collaboration has allowed us to adapt and thrive.
Based on the hard work and dedication this year we now welcome for the 2024-25 year, four new team members to drive the Dorset Youth Strategy plan, enhancing our capacity to serve the 0-25 VCS that support young people and their families. Their contributions will be instrumental in strengthening our ability to deliver impactful services across the county.
Dorset Youth has remained at the forefront of empowering community groups and youth workers, supporting 47 clubs and groups across the county and delivering 10 training workshops attended by 143 individuals and conducted numerous face-to-face meetings to provide direct support.
The 0-25 Voluntary and Community Sector Forum has continued to be a cornerstone of our collaborative efforts, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss challenges, share insights, and drive innovation. This year, the Forum engaged over 390
organisations and individuals, fostering a stronger joint voice for the 0-25 sector. The discussions have directly influenced policy and practice, ensuring that the needs of children, young people, and families in Dorset are prioritised.
Our Youth Leadership programmes have also flourished. Two Young Leader programmes were delivered, training young people across three different youth clubs. These programmes provided participants with vital skills in leadership, safeguarding, and team-building, leaving them with a sense of achievement and stronger connections.
CHAIR OF TRUSTEE’S REPORT
DYA | 03
Highlights include partnerships with #Willdoes charity on events like Bestival, which engaged over 800 young people, and regional initiatives in Weymouth, Portland, and Swanage, each reaching hundreds more. These efforts underline the breadth and depth of our impact.
While we celebrate our successes, we remain acutely aware of the challenges. Funding remains competitive, and the reliance on volunteers continues to stretch our sector. Yet, our collective determination and innovative solutions provide a strong foundation for the future.
Our trustees, as always, have been an invaluable asset. Their dedication, alongside that of our returning trustees, strengthens Dorset Youth’s vision and strategy.
I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to our incredible staff and volunteers. To our part-time youth workers and the volunteers who support the running of our clubs, thank you for your unwavering commitment to the young people of Dorset. A special thanks goes to Lilly Markwell, our Youth Development Manager, for her
continued drive and passion, and to Debbie Shaw, our Office Manager, who is truly the glue of our organisation. Your hard work and dedication inspire us all and are the backbone of Dorset Youth. The vision and leadership of our CEO Mike Bennett has been transformational for our Charity and we are very privileged and proud to have Mike at the helm.
As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond, we remain focused on strengthening partnerships, expanding our reach, and ensuring that every young person in Dorset has access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive. With your continued support, Dorset Youth will continue to grow and adapt, driving positive change for the children, young people, and families we serve.
Thank you all for your unwavering support. Let us continue to share our vision, passion, and work with everyone in our networks, ensuring the longevity and success of Dorset Youth’s mission.

Meetings & Events Total Attendees Direct work with members
The 0-25 VCS Forum currently has a membership of 390 organisations and individuals who regularly receive not only the weekly E-Information Alerts but important updates, opportunities and services as soon as we are made aware. This is particularly useful when we are informed of events and deadlines with very short timeframes as we can send information direct to colleagues and partners in a very quick response time. Membership has increased by 19 members / organisations during this period, despite the loss of a few VCS organisations and people who are no longer active or working.
0-25 VCS CHAIR
Helen has been a champion of the VCS for many years and is one of the most respected individuals within the sector. Her passion and voice supporting the Early Years setting to improve the lives of children and families has been felt across Dorset. Helen has now stepped down as chair of the 0-25 VCS Forum.
and we welcome...
Emma, who works at the Horse Course and is a strong voice for the VCS that represents Local Alliance Groups. The 0-25 VCS Forum are looking forward in working with Emma as the new Chair of the 0-25 VCS Forum.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT US
CASE STUDY 1
As part of my role working with young patients of The Blandford Group Practice – I have worked alongside a number of colleagues as well as other agencies and professionals. One being Dorset Youth. I was introduced to Dorset Youth via a colleague at Public Health Dorset. It is great to see useful information for young people included all in one place on an easily accessible website aimed specifically at the younger generation. My role is to signpost onto other services, organisations and activities so directing young people to your website has also been included in some of the avenues I recommend.
The layout of the website is easy to follow, information is displayed clearly and enables young people to search for support independently without having to voice their worries to others, as often young people
feel uncomfortable doing so. I think the only short fall as with any signposting service is that services/activities frequently change their information which makes some information inaccurate, I have found this with my own signposting, which I now have to check every few months to ensure accuracy.
Keep up the amazing work, Dorset Youth!

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ABOUT US
CASE STUDY 2
I found out about the Forum through a meeting with Mike Bennett about how The Colour Works Foundation could partner with Dorset Youth. One of the first events I attended in person after becoming a member was the session where Dorset Council presented their
Families First for Pathfinder strategy. This meeting gave our organisation the opportunity to find out what other organisations were doing that supported families and initiated some thoughts about our Charity’s strategy for supporting families ongoing. I also was made aware of the LAG funding offered in Dorset and following the event applied and was successful in receiving funding to support our Charity’s partnership with Weymouth Prince’s Trust Team programme.
The next in person event allowed our organisation to advertise our offering to Dorset School Headteachers. This proved useful in terms of developing new partnerships and we have been in contact with a new school following this event.
Its been really beneficial being part of the VCS for networking with other Dorset based organisations as our Charity is situated in BCP. In terms of improvement – it would just be useful to know what organisations are attending in person events so we can potentially car share from BCP to Dorchester.

TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
• Observe the methods and principles of The Charities SORP. State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charities transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of its constitution. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other Irregularities.
Risk Management
The trustees and management believe they have identified and considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems and procedures to manage those risks. These procedures are under constant review as circumstances change.
