Significant events
- “In 2024 we responded to an identified dip in attendance and engagement over the winter months by introducing the YAT Boost Challenge.”
- “2024 saw the launch of our Resilience Programme in Somerset, representing the first roll out of the programme since the 2023 pilot, and our first ever work in Somerset.”
- “During 2024 we launched a brand new volunteering programme for young people who have completed their YAT Adventure Programme and expressed an interest in returning as adult volunteers once they turn 18yrs old.”
- “Whilst 2024 presented significant challenges - economic uncertainty, global instability, a change in government and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis - leading to a more challenging fundraising climate, we continued to build relationships, develop our networks and make the most of the opportunity for fundraising within Somerset as we launched our Resilience Programme in the county.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
