Our workers also run a series of regular events throughout the year to which school groups and others are invited. Through this work, the Trust supports schools, churches, and community groups in exploring questions of faith, and helping to build understanding and community cohesion. The work in schools directly assists schools in meeting the requirements of the national curriculum, both to provide an act of collective worship and to involve members of local faith communities in their RE provision. The Trust provides access to the arts regardless of the ability of organisations or participants to pay a fee. During the Covid-19 pandemic much of this work has continued in an online format, made publicly available on our social media channels at no charge, increasing accessibility. Our workers visit wherever they are invited regardless of social, economic or ethnic background, or the ability to pay, and our events are inclusive of those of all faiths and none. We make every effort to run events which are accessible to all, respecting individual needs. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** In addition to supporting our own staff and associates, the Trust makes occasional, small, one-off grants to individuals and organisations engaged in activities working towards our aims, based in the UK. The Trust has a written policy on grant making that is sent to all applicants. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: We work regularly with other organisations, churches and individuals to meet our aims in a variety of contexts. We have a significant number of volunteers who support us and enable events to take place. - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. **TAR** March **2012** 3 Section D Achievements and performance In 2020/2021 the Trust has employed four part-time workers: a **Summary of the main** singer/songwriter, a storyteller, and two keyworkers. Their work is **achievements of the charity** supported by a dedicated part-time administrator. **during the year** 2020/21 has been defined by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has restricted many of the Trust’s normal activities, and has forced our team to develop new ways of delivering our work and meet the rapidly changing needs of schools and churches in a covid-secure manner. We have continued our core provision of **assemblies and RE lessons** . These have been in school where local restrictions and school health and safety policies allowed. Where in-person provision wasn’t possible, we delivered live assemblies via Microsoft Teams or Zoom and developed recorded online assemblies, which were made available to all our schools. This has continued to support schools in meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum, building understanding of the Christian faith, and contributing to social cohesion. It has also provided a point of normality for children at a time of upheaval and uncertainty. In addition to this work, the team have been involved in the following ongoing and one-off projects during the year: **Zeph@10am** was our immediate response to the first lockdown, covering the period that schools were closed or only partially open. Each weekday the team met together online, using Facebook, for a time of reflection, prayer and community. The meetings were open to anyone else who wished to join us, and the content was uploaded to our website blog for anyone who wished to use it later. **Re:wind and Fast Forward,** RE events that increase understanding of major Christian festivals and assist with the transition to secondary school, were unable to run in their normal format. Instead, we produced an online extended assembly session for children who were preparing to move to secondary school. For Easter, in lieu of both Re:wind and the many Easter arts workshops we normally run, we compiled an Easter Activity Resource Pack. These were emailed to our schools and made available to local churches and home-schooling families. **Our summer Holiday Club** moved online. “Tale Spin”, an original programme, explored some of the parables of Jesus through three midweek sessions and a Sunday service. The sessions included the familiar features of songs, stories, games and craft, all adapted to be accessible at home, plus some specially commissioned drama. **The Light Party** , providing an alternative to traditional Halloween activities, also moved online. Following an approach from the Shipley Salvation Army Corp, we produced a resource pack that we made available to churches who wished to use the online Light Party to connect with children in their churches and communities. Locally, the Salvation Army gave out activity packs containing the craft materials that would be needed. **Rock Solid,** a youth group in the Wilsden area of Bradford, run in collaboration with the local Methodist Church, is one of the activities that has been impossible during the pandemic. However, we kept in touch with the children who attend, dropping off activity packs to their homes throughout the year. **TAR** March **2012** 4 Section D Achievements and erformance p **Refugee Week 2020** moved online, and we contributed a special, socially-distanced recording of our Refugee Voices drama project, and a presentation called Water Babies. We produced a resource pack with age-specific activities which was sent out to our schools and other contacts. There were over 1000 downloads of the pack during the week, with some of our schools using it with the keyworker children who were in school at that point. **ZephFamily** is an inclusive family worship, which we launched in February 2020, with the plan that it would be a quarterly event. Initially on hold, we held the second as part of Refugee Week and the third in February 2021 this year to mark our 27th birthday as a Trust, both online. **DecemberFest** was primarily the focus for our autumn fundraising campaign. Involving the whole team, many of our associates and other friends, it was a 6-hour online festival of music, story and poetry. Subsequent to the event itself, we able to make sections of it available as stand-alone resources on our YouTube channel. **BIASAN** is a weekly support group for refugees and asylum seekers in Bradford. While they haven’t been able to meet, our worker has continued to provide support making deliveries to vulnerable people. **Bradford Refugee Forum** has become a more significant aspect of work for one of our team. This year they have been involved in the development of a Wellbeing Resource booklet, aiming to help individuals manage their mental health and aimed at those for whom English may not be their native language. **Online Resources** are a new feature of our work as a result of the pandemic. These have included stand-alone songs and stories that churches could incorporate into online services, or that schools could use in their own assemblies. Some churches have made requests for specific songs to fit with their plans. This included contributions for the Bradford Church Schools Leavers Service, and the Bradford Cathedral Children’s Easter Service. Our greatest achievement this year has been our ability to adapt, respond, and generally keep going – keeping on taking Light into dark corners – at a time when the world has seemed particularly dark. While we missed the face-to-face contact with children and young people, we have learnt new skills, and developed new strands of work which have reached further geographically than we can ever reach in person. As schools and churches begin to return to more normal ways of working, and we can return to our previous patterns of work, we will review and assess which of these new strands are worth continuing and developing further in a post-covid world. **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The Trust’s policy is to build/maintain sufficient available reserves to cover three month’s payroll, plus any other identified liabilities. The required level of funds is reviewed regularly. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** The charity’s principal source of funds are donations (both regular and one-off) from individual supporters, and the resulting Gift Aid, and from churches and schools who support our aims. This is augmented by small grants and small fundraising activities and events. A small proportion of our work is paid, but not dependent upon payment for its delivery. During the Covid pandemic the balance has shifted with minimal income from activities, and a greater reliance on fundraising and grants. You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - All fundraising activity is managed within the Trust, with no part being - supported the key objectives contracted out to a third party.
