MADE4UINML2 Annual Report 20-21

It has been such a privilege to steward MADE4U's growing resources over this past
year, to help the work edge ever towards the bigger strategy and vision and to
work alongside so many people in the community to make a difference.
In the coming year, we aim to continue development of work in the three strands
identified; youth work, wellbeing and kids work. Our hope is to work towards
utilising the Kickstart scheme and recruiting addition Community Job Scotland
worker to assist in the key areas; administration, youth work and kids work. We
hope to work with North Lanarkshire Council again in delivering Club365 in
summer 2021, and to continue to build on key partnerships with schools for
outdoor play and Dynamic youth awards.
Key to the success of the coming year is moving our Wellbeing work to a more
sustainable basis and hopefully recruiting a skilled and passionate development
worker into this area. The staff team should also expand with recruitment of a
Future Pathways worker who will develop and pilot a 10-week mentoring
programme with young people and young adults, growing people's capacity for
gaining employment, future directions and building skills to contribute to their
local community.
It is our hope to continue building on funding and fundraising success by
diversifying income streams, building individual and major giving and employing
the support of Bruce Tait Associates to bring in more unrestricted grant funding to
support the wider work.
