Section D Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
A summary of the main achievements includes the maintenance and development of a range of activities for the local community. This involves a diverse programme on offer at Beeston Young People’s Centre and a broader range of activities and events for the local community to participate in. Completed developments during this period included. · Continued issue with Japanese knotweed, ongoing program of treatment within the grounds. · Webpage fully operational with resulting hire income. · We are currently focusing green initiatives and ways to make the centre more energy efficient. This is ongoing work and included changing most of the light bulbs and reducing the use of paper etc. - The main focus this financial year has been using the reserves and economising to ensure the centre survives the Covid period and loss of ongoing income streams. · The Management Committee made the decision to utilise saving reserves which were created with foresight and enabled us to continue to run the centre and pay employees when we received no income or grants. We will now look to replenish these reserves. · The drainage around the site and car parking developments have now been completed and really improved the carparking both functionally and aesthetically. This was paid for by NCC as part of some improvements to the site to create additional parking spaces for NCC employees. · We are continually looking at new ways of streamlining our admin and booking processes. The overall aim is to improve our back of house functionality and make things easy for the customer. · Intervention and Mobile Youth Workers are still hybrid office based at the centre and this relationship is going well and helping to create a real ‘community hub’ feel. · Different areas of the building have been decorated by young people in partnership with the Youth Offending Service (YOS), · A working group for the centre (Beeston Development Group) made up of all workers who are based at the centre is still going strong and promoting a real ‘team’ feel to the centre. Thus, improving working relations and also enabling us to explore opportunities and for community development and joint working. Some of these works have started and will be completed during the 2022/23 financial period, this includes- Climbing wall – work to include neon graffiti on the walls and lighting to allow the climbing wall to be utilised. Inspections completed for H&S. Trained staff from NCC Outdoor Education have been using the space with more plans in the pipeline. Tunnel system to be removed and funding being applied for to redevelop the ground to be an allotment and sensory garden for all user groups. We are again completing a needs analysis survey to assess the possibility of changing the MUGA from concrete to 3G. · The Scoping to refurbish toilets within the centre, to incorporate gender neutral and accessibility for all is still a consideration. |
