TAR
March 2012

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on
public benefit.
Through salaries and grants, the Trust supports Christian workers who
visit schools, churches and community groups to provide assemblies,
lessons, workshops and performances, running both one-off and ongoing
art-based projects. 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 accèss to the arts
regardless of the ability of organisations or participants to pay a fee.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
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.
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.

Achievements and performance
In 202312024 the Trust has employed five part-time workers: a
singerlsongwriter, a storyteller, and three keyworkers. During this time
one of our keyworkers was on maternity leave.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
We have continued our core provision of assemblies and RE lessons.
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.
In addition to this work, the team have been involved in the following
ongoing and one-off projects during the year:
Re:wind and Fast Forward are RE events that increase understanding
of major Christian festivals and assist with the transition to secondary
school...
Our summer Holiday Club, held over 5 mornings. With the theme
"Sparks & Stories" was based around a campsite theme and explored
stories that Jesus told as well as how they fit into God's Big Story.
The Light Party, providing an alternative to traditional Halloween
activities, was held at Shipley Baptist with stories, crafts and songs. Over
70 people attended.
ZephTots, a weekly toddler group to support under 5s alongside their
parentslcarers.
BIASAN is a weekly support group for refugees and asylum seekers in
Bradford. Our worker has continued to provide support at this group, as
well as making deliveries to vulnerable people. This work was paused
during our keyworkers maternity leave.
Prayer Spaces are a space where children can be quiet and reflect on
the world, regardless of their personal faith. As schools have reopened to
visitors we have been able to restart these events, allowing small groups
of children to interact with the activities over a few days, and consider
ideas such as hope, peace and forgiveness.
The Bible Tlmes Exhibition has continued to be presented in various
churches across the city (and beyond). gradually returning towards pre-
covid levels.
