MADE4U IN ML2 - Y/E Annual Report 2019

Welcome
Thank you for taking time to pick up our Impact/Annual Report for the
year ended 31 March 2019. We hope that you find this information useful,
in terms of what our charity does and how it serves our community.
It has been an exciting year, with many changes and challenges, but
we have seen growth and positive change in the areas we have focused
on. Club 365 has been an encouraging initiative for us as well as making
a huge difference to those who access the provision. Additionally,
relaunches such as girl’s group, toddlers etc have shown demand in the
area for this type of work. The following report highlights some of the
work we do - but not all can be mentioned in one report.
Have a read and please do get in touch with us if we can give you any
further information.
Clare McCormack
Project Manager, MADE4U IN ML2
Introduction from the Board
MADE4U IN ML2 is about people – people coming together to support, help and encourage each
other – and the difference that can make to people’s lives.
Over the 12 months ending 31st March 2019, I have had the privilege of working with volunteers
and staff and individuals of all ages involved in our groups.
Over the 13 years now since MADE4U started operation from a portacabin, the commitment and
enthusiasm of many continues to humble and inspire.
The 12 months, covered by this report, were not easy, the second half especially, when our
project manager was absent with serious illness and some of the board had stepped down.
Indviduals and groups showed resilience and understanding that has enabled us to get through
this challenge. Difficult decisions had to be made to cut costs but also safeguard our priorities
for young people and mental health issues. We recognise that further changes need to be
made, which may involve a review of our commitment to the premises.
We have further hard choices to make but hope that you will be both encouraged and challenged
by what you read here – and by your support and prayers, help continue to make a difference
for good for people in our community.
Iain Murdoch, Chair of Trustees
