St Mary’s Altinure Youth Club is a member of Youth Action Northern Ireland which provides helpful advice and keeps us informed of opportunities for training and legislative changes. Our membership is renewed every April. St Mary’s Altinure Youth Club also works closely with Learmount Drop Inn for teenagers, and the local Learmount Community Development Group and the Rural Area Partnership in Derry to explore opportunities for joint programmes with other groups. St Mary’s Altinure Youth Club rents the use of a local hall (from the Park Hall Committee) to carry out its activities. All trustees and leaders give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits. The trustees are assisted by parents of members – who take turns in helping to supervise the children during their activities. 2 |Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period|Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |From|Period Start Date||||To|Period End Date||| ||01|April|2016|||31|March|2017| ## Objectives and Activities |_Objects of the Charity as stated_|1 - To provide opportunities for young people aged 8 - 13 to come together for| |---|---| |_in our Constitution_|play, to advance their social and personal skills and to explore issues that are| ||relevant to this age group.

We are grateful for the many hours given listening and encouraging our young people, and to the volunteer trustees who help to run the club annually. Any surplus funds not needed to pay for activities are placed on deposit to earn interest. As our grant is less than expenditure we have been unable to do this during this time. 3 **----- Start of picture text -----**
