OSCY Annual Report 2023 Statement from Project Manager Thomas McCalli( Each year l am encouraged to see the growth of staff, services, and funding either directly through OSCY or in our leading roles with Galliagh Community Centre and Galliagh Residents Association. We have continued to build our services having secured the 3-year project funding from The National Lottery. This has led to major funding from The Education Authority that sees OSCY no with a full time Youth Club and an additional Street Support team. Galliagh Community Centre has become a real Shining exam ple of collective delivery and partnership working across the centre tenants and I believe this has brought stability to our local community. This is not possible without the hardest working and committed staff who continue to put the development of this community at the forefront. In any given day we see the delivery of seNices for young people ages 5 through to 24 and an ever-expanding array of community Servi￿$. This doe5 not happen by chance. OSCY will continue to take a leading role in pulling together people and orBanisations, so we have a clearly planned and well thought out strategic approach to delivery. We want to maxlmise all fundlng and resources so that our community feels the benef it and that Galliagh continues to become an inclusive, well supported, and confident community. Programmes hlghlights for 2023 are so many; be that the continued growth of our youth club in Galliagh; the often-unseen impact of our detached services supporting the most vulnerable young people; our community lunch programme that is welcoming over 80 people per week to our centre; teen volunteer prolect and drivin8success pro8ramme; our evergrowing afterschools and homework club to support local schools and families. All of this is not possible without the support of our funders, namely The National Lottery, EA, NIHE, DCSDQ CFNI, Halifax, Nationwide, PCSP, Youth Action. As always, I would like to personally acknowledge the work of all members of staff and to those who have moved on in the last year. It is their drive and hard work that all0v￿ us to build the success of OSCY and our other project partners. l am ever confident for 2024 as we take on the new challenges of our community consultation, Galliagh Feile 2024 and the campaign to see new and modern community sport and leisure facilities in Galliagh, Thanks Thoma5 Mccalllon Manager

The benefits of our services can be clearly demonstrated with the numerous project evalltations, stakeholder and funder feedback and the essential feedback from our young people which is sought on an on-goin8 basis. It is this feedback which enable5 US to continue to deliver services that not only meet their needs but change to meet that need, and there has never been a year like this that showed the Importance of being able to adapt and change. We have established a very healthy programme budget through success in our funding applications. As we move forward we hope we can achieve the sarne success again and importantly seek core funding for the organisation.
