## **Objectives and activities**
The Object of the Brigade shall be the advancement of Christ's Kingdom among Boys, and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self Respect, and all that tends towards a true Christian Manliness.
## **Structure, governance and management**
We are governed by the constitution of the Boys Brigade.
## **Achievements and performance**
Throughout the year we have taken part in various competitions run by the Battalion in each section although due to low numbers and a lack of consistency of boys attending our participation has been restricted.
We have had a steady flow of boys for the past couple of years but still finding it difficult to recruit in the current climate.
## **Financial review**
Throughout the year we have donated to The Local Foodbank and the church.
## **Future plans**
We plan to increase our social media presence and to keep publishing our meeting night to retain existing members and to encourage new members to join our company.
