The following objectives have been agreed by Trustees, to take the Association forward in the current and forthcoming years. These will be reviewed annually and form the basis from which to monitor and measure success. 

The objectives help to identify the two distinct types of work undertaken, namely Direct Delivery, whereby we provide services for young people and Infrastructure Support where we play a key role in helping others.

This dual approach to service delivery helps DYA to have the maximum impact to meet its mission of improving the quality of life for children and young people in Dorset. 

Direct Delivery 

Objective 1 - To deliver positive activities for affiliated clubs and groups

Objective 2 – To provide Advice and Information Services 

Objective 3 - To help young people to gain the skills and confidence to ‘move on’ 

Objective 4 – To support programmes which enable young people to make a positive contribution to their communities

Objective 5 – To provide targeted support for children and young people who are disadvantaged in our society 

Infrastructure Support 

Objective 6 – To provide support for Youth Clubs and Groups affiliated to DYA 

Objective 7 – To administer and provide support for the VCS 0-19 Forum and Sector
