The AGM was held on 14 September 2023 and was a lovely opportunity to reflect on our performance from April 2022 to March 2023.

Our Members responded enthusiastically to the news of the difference we have made to young people’s lives and that the charity remains in a good financial position.

For the first time, we have not produced a separate Annual Review this year. With so much held online this was done to reduce design, print and postage costs and staff time spent producing something that so few people see. Instead we have created a one page Snapshot review that provides headline news and figures and it is of course backed up by more information on the news page of the website and the Stories section which contains case studies. The Charity Snapshot can be seen above and is available here to download. Others relating to our mental health and learning work will be made available over the next few weeks.

The Annual Accounts which were independently examined by the accountants Albert Goodman were approved at the meeting and can be found here (and also on the bottom of our About page).
