CHAIR'S REPORT
IAN CHISLETT
The past year has seen the Bradby Club continue to thrive as a vital centre of support, development, and opportunity for young people in Rugby. The club remains a beacon of community spirit, and 2024 has been marked by significant progress across all areas of its work.
A major highlight has been the successful raising of approximately £170,000 in grant funding—a remarkable achievement that has enabled both new initiatives and essential improvements. The club is deeply grateful for the generous support received from a wide range of funders, including Philip Seccombe, Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire; Warwickshire County Council’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme; Rugby Group Benevolent Fund; Severn Trent Community Fund; Garfield Weston Foundation; Alan Edward Higgs Charity; Rugby School, and the 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust. Their collective investment has made a tangible difference to the facilities and services the club provides.
Among the key physical improvements this year has been the refurbishment of the hall and stage floors, professionally completed by Dorrell Sports Flooring. These enhancements have significantly upgraded the quality and safety of the club’s main activity spaces, benefitting a wide range of sessions and events. The addition of new recreational resources, including a dart zone and an air hockey table, has further enriched the daily experience for members. Alongside this, there has been a strong emphasis on cooking and nutrition, with more equipment added and practical opportunities expanded. Over 1,617 free meals have been served to young people—many of them prepared by the young people themselves, helping to build confidence and essential life skills.
Staff development remains a priority. Notably, Rebecca Thomas is currently undertaking her JNC youth work qualification through a three-year degree apprenticeship programme. This represents a continued commitment to professionalising and strengthening the team that delivers the club’s core offer. Youth sessions and services are flourishing. Engagement remains consistently high, and feedback from members highlights the welcoming atmosphere, diverse opportunities, and meaningful relationships that are built at Bradby. In particular, boxing sessions led by Byron and Darron continue to grow in popularity and impact. These sessions offer not only physical development but also opportunities for structured competition and personal growth.
Much of the club’s ongoing success is thanks to the tireless efforts of John, whose leadership as Manager continues to be instrumental. Supported by Rebecca and the wider team, John has worked with unwavering commitment to ensure the club remains a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space for all who attend.
We are also deeply grateful to the Management Committee and Fundraising Committee, whose dedication, creativity, and hard work have played a crucial role in supporting the club. Through events such as the annual Garden Party, quiz nights, and a host of other cammunity-led initiatives, including a popular fashion show, they have helped raise both vital funds and community awareness.
A fresh structure has been introduced to the committee, bringing in new ideas and energy. Looking ahead, there are exciting plans in development to diversify funding streams, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the club and its work. In summary, 2024 has been a year of investment, innovation, and impact. The Bradby Club remains steadfast in its mission to support the young people of Rugby, and with the continued support of its partners, funders, staff, and volunteers, it is well positioned to build on this success in the year ahead.

JOHN ROBERTSON
Another twelve months have flown by at Bradby, and as always, we find ourselves reflecting on the core questions that guide our work: *Are we doing enough? Are we making a real difference? Could we offer even more to the young people we support? It’s only when we gather the data for this AGM report that the full scale of our impact becomes clear—how many sessions we've delivered, how many young people we’ve engaged, and the many positive outcomes we’ve helped to achieve. These moments of reflection remind usjust how[busy] and purposeful the past year has been.
As asmall team of dedicated staff and volunteers, it’s truly remarkable to see the difference that a group of committed individuals can make. The strength of our work lies in the people delivering it. Without the efforts of every member of our team—staff and volunteers alike—none of our successes would be possible. Thank you ail for your hard work, passion, and commitment over the last twelve months. We are especially proud and fortunate to have Byron and Darron leading our boxing programmes. Their long-standing dedication and tireless work continue to shape lives. Both the England Boxing programme led by Byron and Darron’s One on One Boxing have gone from strength to strength, welcoming new members and creating more opportunities for young people and the community. Their combined service to Bradby spans over 60 years~a legacy that’s difficult to quantify but impossible to ignore.
Securing funding remains a significant and ongoing challenge. However, we’re pleased to report that thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, trustees, and fundraising committee, we’ve had a positive year in terms of income generation, helping to maintain healthy reserves after several successful years. This has allowed us to continue delivering our services and make key improvements to our facilities. We extend our deepest thanks to the funders and organisations who have supported us through another year, including Warwickshire County Council Youth Fund, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe, Rugby Group Benevolent Fund, Governors of Rugby School, the 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, the Alan Edward Higgs Charity, and the Garfield Weston Foundation. Your continued backing is critical to our work.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on the future—particularly the redevelopment of our community gym and boxing facilities. This space is central to so much of what we do, and we know the potential it holds. While fundraising for this project began last year, progress has been slow, and we acknowledge that it hasn’t yet received the attention it deserves. Our goal this year is to gain momentum and at the very least, get our plans formalised and on paper.
Alongside our larger ambitions, we’ve also achieved meaningful improvements to our facilities this year. Thanks to additional funds raised, we were able to completely refurbish the hall floor—a significant enhancement to our space. We were also kindly donated gym matting, which has now been installed and has transformed the gym area. A special mention must go to Josh Powell, a former Bradby member, who has generously volunteered his time to help with gardening and ground maintenance around the Club. His contribution is very much appreciated.
As we mark another year—our 106th—we do so with a strong sense of pride and gratitude. None of what we do would be possible without the continued dedication, interest, and belief of our supporters. Whatever challenges lie ahead, we know we will face them together, grounded in the strength of our community and the enduring values of Bradby Club.
Thank you to all our supporters and funders who make our work possible. A heartfelt thank you to our Fundraising Committee for their tireless efforts, and to our Board of Trustees for their time, insight, and unwavering support. Above all, our deepest thanks go to the young people who walk through our doors every week. Your energy, resilience, and enthusiasm are what drive everything we do. You are at the heart of Bradby Club—your journeys, challenges, and successes give our work purpose and meaning. It’s a privilege to support you, to grow with you, and to be part of your stories.

REBECCA THOMAS
This year has been another busy and rewarding one for our Youth Work and ASCENT programmes at Bradby Club. Youth Club remains one of our most vital and consistently wellattended services, offering a reliable, accessible, and safe space for young people. It's been fantastic to see both new and returning members engaging in a wide variety of activities that promote inclusion, personal growth, and well-being.
Over the past year, we’ve delivered a broad programme of educational and empowering sessions covering topics such as mental health awareness, inspirational women, substance misuse, sexual health, and street safety. These sessions are designed not just to inform, but to give young people the tools and confidence they need to navigate life’s challenges.
In response to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we have continued to offer free hot meals through our valued partnership with Fish Plus, alongside support from Rugby Borough Council and the Warwickshire Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. These meals~served both during term time and the school holidays—remain a vital aspect of our offer, and this year alone we have provided over 1,617 free meals. Additionally, young people have had the opportunity to learn cooking skills and prepare their own food, further building life skills and confidence.
Our centre has also seen some exciting additions to its recreational offer. A new dart zone and an indoor air hockey table have proved extremely popular, adding to the variety of engaging spaces for our members. Sport continues to play a major role in youth sessions, especially for young people who may not have access to sporting activities outside of school. This year’s sessions included basketball, table tennis, dodgeball, badminton, and pool, with football remaining a firm favourite.
We’ve been pleased to continue our partnership with PAN Intercultural Arts, who have delivered creative, drama-based workshops every other Wednesday. These sessions, led by E and Bruno, have offered fun and thought-provoking activities including problem-solving games and role-play scenarios, all of which have been well received by the group.
During school holidays, the Club extended its opening hours to run daytime sessions from 122pm in addition to our regular evening youth club. This proved very popular, particularly when paired with our involvement in the HAF programme. The holiday period also brought a range of special events and trips, including multiple art projects, BBQs, visits from a gaming bus, two football tournaments, kayaking with Rugby Canoe Club, and excursions to Wave and Jump In activity centres.
|
|
Ahighlight of the year was once again the Bill Appleby Cup, our annual football tournament which again saw nearly 100 young people attend for a great day of sport, topped off with the obligatory BBQ. We also participated in Warwickshire Youth Services’ inter-club football tournament, proudly finishing as runners-up.
Our ASCENT project has continued to provide vital, targeted support to young people with a wide range of needs. Many of those who engage with ASCENT face challenges such as poor mental health, risk of exploitation, substance misuse, and disengagement from education or employment. The programme offers flexible, informal support~whether through a chat, a boxing session, cooking, or creative art—ensuring young people feel comfortable, heard, and empowered.
This year we took a group to tour the Cemex cement plant, giving them the chance to meet employees from various departments and learn about apprenticeships, career pathways, and the skills and support available to them. Opportunities like these are crucial in helping young people see beyond immediate barriers and imagine a positive future.
Our ongoing partnerships with Targeted Youth Support, Connexions, and Compass Drug and Alcohol Service have further strengthened the impact of the ASCENT project, ensuring a joined-up approach to supporting young people who might not otherwise engage with services.
This has been another successful year for Youth Work and ASCENT at Bradby. The breadth of activities, educational programming, support services, and facility improvements reflect our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of young people in Rugby. We are proud of the progress made and the positive changes we’ve supported.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to our funders, partners, volunteers, and staff—your continued belief in our mission makes this work possible. We look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.

This year's fundraising started on a high with a very successful and enjoyable Garden Party on Saturday 15" June at Bilton Grange Prep School by kind invitation of the Heads of Bilton Grange and Rugby School and charmingly hosted by their respective wives Jemma Jones and Amanda Parker-Jones. It was a change from previous Garden Parties in that whilst the delicious tea sponsored by Chartwells was much appreciated, there were also activities for children - face painting, a balloon man and magician, a bouncy castle, fun with the Bradby Boxers providing a profit of over £3,000, due greatly to generous sponsorship.
During the year Bradby continued to organise Front of House for Rugby Philharmonic including selling raffle tickets giving a profit in excess of £200.
Another first for the committee was a Charity SOS Fashion Show organised by Sue Williams which was well attended and yielded a profit in excess of £800. The guests enjoyed tea, coffee and cake and could then try on any clothes they liked and purchase them.
Two events which involved the committee but which were not actual fundraisers were the Young Carers Christmas Party and The Past Members Reunion in December - both catered highly professionally and most generously by Charles Williams.
Unfortunately due to ill health, | was absent from January to April when the committee efficiently stepped in and ran the Bradby Quiz in February which had to be relocated in Old Big School at the last minute. As always this highly enjoyable event saw David Ray MBE as Quiz Master and was organised by Sally Wise both of whom did a splendid job and gave us a profit of £706.
The Rugby Philharmonic in March was efficiently organised by the committee and the raffle raised over £200. | am particularly grateful to Christine Nobes who undertook the organisation of the raffle for both events. | should like to thank this very devoted committee for all their hard work in organising events when | was absent. Altogether it was an active and productive year.

----- End of picture text -----
We have once again spent Tuesdays this year supporting our young carer’s group at Bradby, alternating between our Primary (6-11) and Secondary (11-18) age groups. This has been supported by Caring Together Warwickshire, along with our own volunteers, and we would like to say a massive thank you to all those who have been involved.
Weekly groups have again been well attended, with many now having attended for a number of years, and have consisted of more cooking opportunities, games, art activities and more. We would once again like to thank volunteers from Thurluston Village for their art and cooking activities, as well as their contribution to our Christmas activities. We would also like to thank the Masonic Lodges which have again supported us to provide Christmas Dinner for 40 of our young carers, along with other various activities. We would also like to say a massive thank you to Sue and Charles Williams for all their support in cooking this Christmas Dinner once again — it was incredible!
As with other years, we have managed several trips out of the club and activity days throughout the year to help give everyone new opportunities. A creative day at Compton Verney, a Video Game bus, art and baking days were enjoyed by our Primary group, whilst our Secondary took to the water at Draycote for kayaking, and enjoyed the British GT Championships at Silverstone.
And finally, a massive thank you to all those who have supported us this year - through funding and the providing of opportunities. Chris, Marian, Julie and our other volunteers have been amazing as always, and an extra thank you to the young people from our other Youth Groups who have supported our younger group in carrying out activities and ensuring everyone has a great time.
