TYC (THIRSK YOUTH CLUB)
We run three weekly youth club sessions for school Yrs 5-6, 7-8 and Yrs 9 upward at Old Blacksmiths, 83, Market Place, Thirsk. We engage especially with young people uninterested in main stream youth activities, aiming to support them and the local community to empower, raise aspirations, and give hope. We partner with local organisations, North Yorkshire Youth, police and schools.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a net surplus of £35,599 for the year, with total unrestricted reserves of £13,890. The trustees report that this level of free reserves is lower than hoped but deemed satisfactory, noting that a substantial proportion of the surplus relates to funding received at year-end for future activities. The charity relies heavily on volunteers and grant funding, with no staff remuneration paid to trustees.
