## Achievements and performance 

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period A Year of Progress and Impact — Golspie Youth Action Project What a year it has been for GYAP! We are incredibly proud of the progress we've made and the positive impact on young people in our community. Successful Fundraising & Strengthened Sustainability Thanks to generous funding, we were able to restart operations and cover rental costs that became challenging following the pandemic. Youth Club Relaunch In November 2023, we reopened our doors with a regular youth club for young people aged 5-21. We now have 164 youth members, attending across two nights per week in three age groups. Expanded Youth Programmes This year we introduced new initiatives including: ¢ A Monday after-school Youth Awards Group e A weekly Youth Lunch Club Secured Long-Term Funding ¢ Gordonbush Wind Farm has funded a youth worker post for two years from November. e Further support from The National Lottery and The Robertson Trust has enabled us to take on an additional youth worker and a development officer. New Charity Shop Lease 

We have now taken on the lease of a local charity shop, which will support our long-term sustainability and create new opportunities for community involvement and fundraising. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our team, the generosity of our funders, and the ongoing support of our community. We look forward to continuing to expand and provide even more opportunities for our young people Financial review Brief statement of the charity’s policy | Frequent committee meetings ensures that reserves are always on reserves available. Balance is healthy due to grants being paid in advance. i OO oo OS 3
