**charity during the financial period**|_Another of 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 impact we've had on young people in our community._
_Refurbished and Reopened. The building we now use has been fully refurbished,_
_creating a welcoming and safe space for our youth programs, we have also_
_utilised other locations in the village to host different activities that we have put_
_on the youths._
_Successful Fundraising & Sustainability Thanks to generous funding, we were_
_able to restart our operations, covering rental costs that became a challenge_
_after the pandemic. _
_We have taken on the rental of a charity shop which has been incredibly well_
_supported by the local community, employed a charity shop manager and_
_have a wonderful team of volunteers who help with the day to day running._
_It is also a place where our young people can come and volunteer._
_We host regular youth club for young people aged 5 to 21. We now have_
_142 youth members attending across two nights a week, divided into three_
_age groups._
_Expanded Youth Programs. We launched additional initiatives, including a_
_Youth Awards Group on Mondays after school and a Youth Lunch Club every_
_Monday. We have also provided over the last three years meals for all_
_children in the village during the summer break._
_Secured Long-Term Funding_
_Gordon Bush Wind Farm has funded a youth worker position for two years_
_post-November._
_Additional grants from The National Lottery and the Robertson Trust have_
_allowed us to hire another youth worker and a Charity Manager and will be_
_advertising for a new development officer._

_All of this would not have been possible without the dedication of our team,_
_the generosity of our funders, and the support of our amazing community._

_As we look ahead, we are excited to continue growing and providing even_
_more opportunities for young people._| |---|---| |**Financial review**|| |---|---| |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**
