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.

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.

TREASURER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To operate a Youth Club and, in particular but without prejudicing to the generality of the foregoing, to
help and educate young people of both sexes through their leisure time activities so as to develop their
physical, mental and spiritual capacities as they grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society
and that their conditions of life be improved.
Provided it does not affect or impair the primary use of the Club's premises as a Youth Club, to make its
premises and facilities available for community purposes, whether or not for reward.
The Trustees consider these objectives have been carried out with due regard to the public interest.
FINANCIALS
There was a profit for the year of £2,348 and the amount received in Grants, less paid out in the year,
resulted in a £5,959 surplus.
We ended the year with unrestricted reserves of £109,754 and unspent specific revenue grants of
£56,904.
We have earmarked £30,209 of the reserves for 2024/25 work on the grass pitches, the Club roof and
renewal of the small astros.
Specific grants received for the Pavilion and 3G during the yeartotalled £832,0201103,435 in 20231 and
we are due a further £77.265. During the year, we spent £1.020,643 on the new 3G and Pavilion and we
still owe £64,546. We spent a further £14,451 mainly on extending and improving the Club kitchen.
The Football Foundation grants of £1.012,720 are repayable in certain circumstances, see note 6.
It has been a pleasure working with all involved at the Club. but Janice, Adam. Sue, Barry and Debbie are
