From 01 Jan 2023 Period start date To31 Dec 2023
Period end date
Charity name: Gosberton Youth Centre
Address: 21 High Street, Gosberton, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE114NW
Charity registration number: 506927
Objectives and Activities
To help young people to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow
to full maturity as individuals and members of society. Own, manage and maintain the building and
facilities to enable them to be used for the benefft of the community, especially the young people
from pre-school age to adulthood.
The Youth Centre was an empty building at the start of 2023. Previously it was rented by the
trustees to a playgroup company, who stopped trading and left the buildin8 in August 2022.
The future of the building was in doubt, but new trustees were acquired, and a plan put in place to
restore the building and its activity to that of a Youth Centre.
Achievements and Performance
The new Trustee5 formed a separate management committee with the objectives of fund raising to
restore the building for youth hubs. Many activities were run, some on a weekly basis to raise
money. Many grant applications were made and successful in the year. This has resulted in a
transformation of the facility to one that can run as both a youth centre and warm space hub for the
community. Further funding is being sou8ht for next year to complete renovations and upgrades.
The current year has seen the running of successful community hubs. It is intended to start youth
hubs in the new year with training of volunteers currently in hand.
Financial Review
Over 90% of income has been from specific grants or local authority or organisation donations. Most
of the grants have been awarded for specific projects to upgrade and make the facility fit for
purpose. The remainder has been raised by volunteers running activities such as bingo, race nights,
open days etc. The heating system has been upgraded to infrared throughout and a new boiler to
heat the toilets and water. Some equipment has been purchased for the future youth hubs.
General overheads are covered by the fund-raising activities.
Any cash re5en4es are held in an interest-bearing account at our bank. When all capital projects are
complete, it is intended to keep a small reserve for potential future repairs.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity has a constitution which was adopted on 3, February 2014 and amended by Re501ution
on 24th November 2014 and 19th July 2018
All trustees and management are volunteers. The treasurer / trustees are responsible for grant
applications and financial control. The management committee assist with funding, training,
planning events and preparation for the running of youth hubs.
