The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity shoLJld undertake. The club operates a number of volunteering activities which allow its members to contribute to club funds. The club continued with the Great Yorkshire Show grass Cutting on the local showground raising £620.00. The club uses its fund5 to affiliate itself to the County and National bodies in order to provide activities and opportunitie5 for young member5 of the rural community. The club's affiliated Tractor Run Committee operate5 the Knare5borough Tractor Run, through which the club raised thi5 year approximately £24,000 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. We are currently working away in the background with the Tractor Run Committee to enable this fundraising event to run separately outside the club with members and club leaders volunteering at the event rather than involved in the management of the tractor run. The charity recruits its members from a significant section of the community at large. Everyone aged 10 to 28 years can be a member of Knare5borough YFC in order to participate in activitie5 and discussions that increase their knowledge of agriculture, crafts rural affairs and country life. The charity actively recruits its members, aged 10 to 28 years, from a catchment area of 10 miles of Knaresborough and Harrogate. The club activities also contribute to and create leisure activities for members and on occasion for the rural community in which the charity operates. The community around the charity benefits from our members being active citizens that contribute to the rural community. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration thal trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) Additional details of objectives and activitles (Optional information) Aside from the membership fee paid by each member, a large number of them contribute to the club's success by volunteering their time to run it.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on granlmaking. policy programme re5ated investment., contribution made by volunteers. The club's committee puts in untold hours in organi5ing the weekly meetings, recruiting members and generally promoting the club's work in the community. Some prominent members invest hugely in the club in this way and we are lucky not to have to pay the staffing costs that would be associated with this work otherwise, meaning that club funds can be used to provide opportunities and training for members, and to put on events in the community.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achiovements of the charity during the year This year, the club ha5 undertaken a variety of events designed to give the members a degree of experience in rural industries which might help them to find future employment. The Christmas tree collection enabled our junior member5 to be involved from collecting trees from doorsteps and customer service. Once again members participated in the Harrogate District Rally, a competition day which brings together a number of local club5 and members practicing rural skills such as crafts, metalwork, cookery, stockjudging, clay shooting and sports. The club's Tractor Run Committee ensured the club as a whole was involved in the organisation of Britain's largest tractor run, which annually raises in the funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The club also looked towards the sustainability of the Tractor Run by working with the committee to secure its future away from the general running of the club.
