Shaftesbury Youth Club Chairfs Report for The Year Ended 5th April 2024 Looking forward to 2024 and beyond, it is crucial that we build on our achievements and implement a strategic approach to growth and development. The recent renovation of our facilities, including the Main Building Kitchen and the Pavilion, as well as the completion of the All Weather 11 v 11 FIFA Standard football pitch, are testament to our commitment to providing world-class amenities for our community. However, with these new resou rces, we must develop a structured plan that ensures their effective use, maintenance, and integration into our ongoing programs. By setting clear goals and focusing on long-term sustainability. we can continue to serve our community and expand our impact. Our strategy must also prioritise strengthening our volunteer base and investing in staff development, as they are the backbone of our organisation. With volunteers playing a pivotal role in the success of our Social Supermarket, football teams. and youth clubs, we need to ensure that they are well-supported, recognised and equipped with the skills necessary to meet the diverse needs of those we serve. Additionally, creating more training opportunities and pathways for young volunteers like Sam Davies. who received the Wirral Council award for Young Volunteer of the Year, will help cultivate a new generation of leaders who are passionate about community service. As we continue to grow, our focus must remain on youth work, placing young people and their needs at the heart of everything we do. This involves not only enhancing our existing programs but also exploring new opportunities to engage and support young people. especially those who are vulnerable or have additional needs. like our Future is Bright club members. By fostering a safe, inclusive environment and offering diverse activities that encourage creativity, teamwork and personal growth, we can ensure that our organisation remains a vital resource for local families. Looking ahead. our goal is to create a vibrant, interconnerted community where every child has the Chan to thrive and where our strategic vision is realised through the dedicated efforts of our staff, volunteers and supporters. We look forward to the year ahead. We will commit to developing our strategy and our core principles that underpin our charity. This will be developed with all levels of our organization. including the young people and wider community. Adam Mellor Chairperson - Shaftesbury Youth Club October 1st 2024
SHAFTESBURY YOUTH CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 202312024 Each year I report that it has been a unique one and last year is no exception. We have continued to improve our facilities by renovating and extending the Main Building Kitchen, with a grant from Magenta Housing, and renovating and modernising the toilets in the main building. The staff and organisation have been successful in the following.. Michelle Naylor received an award from Cash for Kids- Community Star Janice Monty received an award from Cheshire FA- changing lives through football Ken Monty received an award from Cheshire FA- grounds team of the year Sam Davies received a Wirral Council award - young volunteer of the year Allotment and Garden volunteers won - RHS award - Outstanding We have been nominated for Kings Award for Voluntary Service (awaiting decision) Our Pavilion has been refurbished as well our new All Weather 11 v 11. FIFA STANDARD football pitch has been built through grants from a variety of local organisations, such as The Johnson Foundation, Steve Morgan Foundation, Bernard Sunley Foundation, Sport England, The Football Foundation, PH Holt, The Duchy of Lancaster. Eleanor Rathbone Trust as well as a Crowd Funder where local people donated to this worthy cause. I would like to thank them for their support in bearing with us as the work was delayed to 'Planning Permission, but we have got there. This facility will help the organisation to work towards being more self-sustainable and is a world class facility for local people. Our Social Supermarket goes from strength to strength as the renovation of the Pavilion has created space for this. along with a new Community Hub which provides activities and food for local people who are feeling vulnerable, isolated and struggling with their emotional well-being. The kettle is always on and an army of volunteers help to run this. We continue to deliver food hampers to local people who are in need as part of the household grant from Wirral Council. During Summer, Christmas and Easter we provided a holiday activity club, with funding from Edsential, which saw over 100 children on a daily basis participating in a variety of activities such as sport, art & craft, singing and dancing. scootering. skateboarding and roller skating. Each child was given breakfast, lunch and, in some cases, a 'grab bag, for tea to share with their family. We also provided a holiday scheme for our Youth Club members who participated in games, trips, computers and water- based sports. The 'Future is Bright Additional Needs Club, has continued to grow and this club provides an opportunity to participate in football as well as weekly challenges such as taste, blindfold Pizza making, water bowling to name a few. Some of these young people are the most vulnerable and we provide a safe environment to allow them to be themselves, wtth the right support. where they can make friends and learn new skills. The football season, as usual, started in September and once more it was highly successful for Shaftes teams. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coaches and volunteers who give up their time to help support the work of Shaftes grassroots football. Once more, due to the coaches hard work and commitment, we achieved the status of being an Accredited FA Football Club. Our football leams last season achieved the followirvJ:_ U12 Scorpions- Division 1 and Top Cup Winners U12 Brazil - Division 1 and Top Cup Winners Shaftes U14 v U14 Blues Wirral Cup Final. Firsl time that 2 Shaftes teams have met in a final with U14 picking up the trophy. U16 Wirral cup winners made history went undefeated last 3 years.
Tournaments U12 Scorpions Middle Cup winners U14 Blues Top Cup Winners U15 Top cup Winners U14 Top Cup Winners Without volunteers, this organisation would not be able to function the way that they do. Without them it would not be possible to provide the wealth of activities we provide. A big thanks to the staff who, through this year, have once more risen to the challenge and have diversified their work in order to continue to support children, young people and families.
