WY* hull yfc • . nnual Report 2021 Trustees Annual Report 2021 Concerning 2021, as I noted last year, we lost half of it, and frankly, the restart was faltering for us and lor many people and organisations and churches. Actually it wasn't until spring this year that things almost everywhere were anything like back to normal. That doesn't mean we were not doing what we could, as you'll read, but there were hands tied behind backs. balancing stools on two legs.. choose your analogy. Through all this, Sycamore Gardening has established itself pretty well for a young thing, Matt's House has been a real challenge in terms of occupancy and especially latterly, the utility CQ5ts. The relationship with Urban Expression has developed well and staff are finding real value in it We've appointed a new youth worker- welcome Stuart, and that kind of strengthens the local presence of which Matt's House is a part. Emma has been on a sabbatical and complet&J a training cout5e in really powerful play terhnIqu￿. Chris and Anna. though neither are now employees of Hull YFC remain part. c.f the wider team and Chris is doiDg a lot more locally now he is working less in the building trade. It seems that negotiations with the powers that be are nea complete and we will become resp)nsible for (owners ofj St Matthew's Parish Hall - many thanks for you confidence in us Reverend Tony Cotson and St John's PCC. And now it looks like we may be going to have a new apprentice worker. home grown on Bransholme, so not super-local, but definitely Hullish. There is a lot going on - and kicking off. If you follow the monthly prayer request emails lif not please askll then you'll know that life has many joys. God is good and the Spirit is at work and Miracl￿ happen, but there is a sea of damage. And there is a real need to speak Iruth and 'power to change. not only to be the good news. but to speak of thai person Jesus, to pray and to offer to pray expecting healing and change. Its been a privilege for us all as trustees to get to know lan lagainl and lona and to see them come to terms with all this and to address it all as leaders of the team. And through all of it. most of you will have been constant and faithful in your prayers and other support ofGod'swork through Hull YFC alongside so many children and families on and around Boulevard. Thankyou. Andy Dorton, Chair of Trustees Actvities 2021 Just some ofthe activities undertaken by Hull YFC during 2021 including 8reakfa5t Club, Parent baby group, Youth club, Parent's walking group, crafts, trips and special event5 fH' f: (@ Sycamore Gardening Team After years of seeing young adults in our community struggle and sta nate from failing to find employment, we decided to take a risk and see ifthere was anythingwe cou d do to make a difference. In April 2021, we began our experiment with social enterprise by forming Sycamore Gardening. Through the generous donations of individual supporters, trusts and some corporate partners we managed to purchase a vehicle and all the necessary tools to make a start. Our enterprise creates paid, supported work placements by offering garden maintenance services to customers throughout Hull and the surrounding villages. Our first 8 months proved a real success as we developed a regular customer base and began to see meaningful signs of growth and change in our fifst employees, leaving us really encouraged to continue and excited to see how things will develop. Rich Newby (Hull YFC Enterprise Worker) asked our tsvo stsff members Showan and Ben about their experien￿ working with our gardening enterpris Showan-whydid you decideto workwith SG? I've never had a proper job before this and I knew this work experience would help me in the future. The job gets me out the house, othenNise I'd just be doing college work. on the computeror in bed. I know of Rich and HYFC because of the Breakfast Club. Knowing Rich has made it much more comfortable for me as he'5 not a stran er. If I need help with anything it's easy to as Rich. I'm shy and normally stick to the things I know. I don't like being in situations that are new. So already knowing Rich has made a big d ifference. What do you enjoy about thejob? The thing l enjoy most about working at SG is that we are outside in the sunshine instead of being indoors. I like oing to new places I've never been to before and seeing different settings. Its not my main concern, ut the monw is also nice- I've even gotsavings now. Have you leamt anythingwhilst V40rking with SG? The job has changed rye because l am now willing to talk to customers, where3s before I was shy. It has surprised me, because beforehand I couldn't imagine doing it. Before I'd prefer to be inside, but now I actually like being outside. ore CIIIDEIIIIIG 07425177671 How do you thinkthejobwill helpyou goingfoThvard? The opportunity will help me going forward because l am less shy and now I have some actual work experience. I'm hoping it will help me get employed with my next job, once I've got my college qualification. I've now got somethingto write on my Cvand proofthat I know how to work hard. Haveyou leamtanythingaboutGod duringyourtimewith SGsofar? Thejob shows me he cares. Ben-what is your connection with HYFC and howdid it come aboutthatyou stsrted workingfor W. I first met Rich at Breakfast Club which I started going to when I was about 3 years old. Because of the lockdowns I didn't see Rich for almost a year and then one day I dropped into youth club for a catch up and Rich said he could help and I'm eternally grateful he gave me the opportunity. Why did you wantto workfor SG? When I finished college, my first job was in a call centre and it was a horrible experience. After completing the training l only lasted a week. The boss was horrible- he belittled me and made me feel stupid. That took my confidence and I didn't really look for anything for a while. So when I saw Rich I was so relieved to hear that I could get a job with someone I trusted and know really well. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work forthe charitythat I've been going to mywhole life. What are your favourite parts of thework? l enjoy the progress of a garden coming together as I find it satisfying and seeing the happy customers after we finish a job. I love that I'm working with Rich and the fact that no two days are the same. I really enjoy the variety and getting up in the morning knowing I'll be doing something good. What difference do you think the experien￿ is makingto you? Thejob has already made a difference and changed me because it has given ffle a purpose. In a way it has been teaching me to work harder. It's helping me improve on some skills I struggle with such as fine details, co-ordination and other things like that because of my Dyspraxia. I'm being active, which is good because if I wasn't working I'd be spending all my time watching videos or playing computer games. How do you thinkthe opportunitywill help in the future7 I think this job will help me going forward because it has given me skills I will use in the future and it will help me get a job once this opportunity has ended. It is helping me to cope with hard work and long days. It will also look good on my CV and I'll be able to show that I have good people skills. Haveyou learntan￿hing moreaboutGod duringyourtimewith SG sofar7 This job has taught me that God think5 of me as a good person and that he is there for everyone and that he is helpful and understanding.

Special thanks lo Andrew Pike lorcompleting our3udited accounts and contribut ng his time Iiee of charge. Financial Report 2021 2021 has been very much a tale oftwo halves. The first half ofthe year saw another lockdown followed by restrictions which severely impacted the work we were able to do. The second half of the year saw a return to a more normal programme of events and activities. God has blessed us thioughout these troubling times and provided us with the means to see us through. Thanks to the generosity and support we have received from trusts, individuals and churches over the year, we were able to be up and running very quickly. I￿akfaSt Club was supported by , Joseph Boaz Charity, the Joseph -Ik Benevolent Fund, Howden .Ciary Club, Cranswick Foods and C-reggs the Bakers. We are thankful i to St Andrew s Kirkella & St Luke's Vvillefby. All Saints North Ferriby, Si Mary's Haxby & St Nicholas rfEd the Plumber Bridge to r(7ise funds_ Wigginton and St John's Newington who all provide food items to the Breakfast Club. Active Humber facilitated a popular parents walking group. We received grants from the Imagine Foundation towards the Orts Women's Sewing collective including toilet renovation and salaries. 2021 also saw the start of a new Social enterprise - Sycamore Gardening which has gone from strength to strength. It has been supported by grants from Hull Council, Hull & East Riding Charitable Trust. Global Giving Foundation. Wharfedale Foundation, Bishop Radford Trust, Arnold Clark Community Foundation and Marshall & Viggars Trust as well a5 a number of generous individual donations, one particularly that really enabled the ide3 to become a reality. Salaries continue to be our biggest expenditure, but we have been sustained through the periods of restrictions by the government's furlough scheme. We were also thankful for 8 legacy from Mrs J Mason and it Was decided to use the money for recruiting new team members in the ne3r future. Our reserves at present may look high but this is due to the aforementioned legacy which was not restricted funds. Our Social Enterprise income. both for start up costs and work undertaken has been very high and some income is classed as unrestricted. We are also aware of the struggles of many charities during lockdown and so we aim to k￿p 6 months running costs set aside. Once again thank you to the many individuals who give to our work. Sometimes out of the little they may have or quite often very generously but all in order to enable the team to bring Gospel love and transformation to our commu nity Jill Keegan, Administrator A flourishing, resourced and resourceful. interdependent community where- out of their relationship with Jesus- people live a more expansive life. full of grace. peace. hope. purpose and love.
