Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/04/24 Period start date To Period end date 31/03/25

Charity name: Harthill Youth Centre

Charity registration number: 521170

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The object of the centre is to help and
educate young people especially
between the ages of 13 and 20 yrs
through their leisure-time activities, so
as to develop their physical, intellectual
and spiritual capacities so they may
grow into maturity as individuals and
members of society and that their life
chances and conditions may be
improved. The age range is extended to
25 yrs for neurologically diverse young
people.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Harthill Youth Centre has provided a
range of services over the last year.
Thes included two nights of Open
Access youth club, a fortnightly evening
for neurologically challenged young
adult Music Makers, a SPLICE night
catering for neuro-diverse young people
up to the age of 25, an Arabic Youth
Club (including academic support), a
specialist music night using skilled
young people as role-models and
mentors and a Sunday youth club
for Turkish young people (the children
of recent refugees/immigrants). There
has also been a 5 day-a-week
independent school run by Prudentia
Education (fully Ofsted recognised)
catering for pupils who have been
having problems in mainstream
education.
A Karate/Judo club uses the sports hall
to teach both adults and young people

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 In such difficult financial times,
particularly with the hit to energy costs,
we feel it is an achievement to be able to
continue to offer such a wide variety of
User Groups and activities to meet the
divers needs of our young people and
their communities.
At a time of a worrying rise in mental
health issues for young people
nationally, and in particular in areas of
poverty like Liverpool, the opportunity
to learn new skills and gain the ability to
function successfully in groups has
been important for our young people.
Capeesh Music Project and the one-to-
one music mentoring by our Full-time
Youth Worker are key aspects of our
provision.
As is the fortnightly Music Makers
which helps neuro diverse young adults
giving them enjoyment and confidence.

Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 Liverpool City Council is supportive of
Youth Work (in contrast to much of the
country) and continues to provide us
with a Full-time youth worker and
Sessional staff.
However there is continued uncertainty
about Central Government willingness
to continue funding a non-statutory
service like youth work.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:


The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)
Para 1.47
Liverpool City Council annual
maintenance grant and User Group
rents. Prudentia Education (five days
per week) is the major rent payer.
Financially, whilst still being very
stretched, we are now in a more stable
position in having been successful in
gaining five-year funding under the
Council’s new grant awarding system
.
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted		 Para 1.46
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 The principal risk is lack of funding.
This does not prevent us delivering
quality work but it leaves us vulnerable
to “shocks”.
