In my report for 2019 | described the year as one of growth and change, and we were preparing for 2020 to be a year of new ideas and spreading our wings with the full team that included Abby as part time Primary Worker from January 2020... little did we know what 2020 would have in store!

When the COVID-19 lockdown began in March we were unsure what to do - was it possible fora schoolwork organisation to operate when we could not go into schools? The team and Trustees prayed it through, and we decided that it was not right to ‘down tools’ and make use of the government's furlough scheme, but instead we would be patient, and offer what we could online. Through the hard work and quickly gained skills of the team, we were soon producing high quality videos for use in assemblies and online lessons, which had - and have continued to have - a good take-up.

;

| would like to pay tribute to the team of staff and volunteers for their innovation, patience and creativity through what wasa very tough year, as an organisation but also personally through our own experiences of illness, lockdown and associated anxieties and frustrations. Most of us in this life of work thrive on the people aspect, and to not be with the children and young people but still enthusiastically producing material has been really tough, but worth it.

We are as ever grateful to the churches and individuals who have continued to support us during this time. We lost the income from schools but have not seen a significant drop in other giving. It is an encouragement that our decision to carry on operating and paying staff, especially at the beginning when we were not sure what ‘work’ they would be able to do, was the right one.

We continue to believe that we have a significant role to play in increasing the knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith among our children and young people, and supporting them in their spiritual, social and moral development. We cannot do this on our own - we rely on God’s guidance, provision and inspiration by his Spirit - and we rely on the prayers and financial backing of our partner individuals and churches. It may be that coming out of lockdown we will have even greater opportunities than we did before, and we hope you will join us in our prayer as we seek to serve him in our local schools.

Report of the Director of Charitable Activities

Well, what an extraordinary 12 months!

For obvious reasons, and I'll address that a bit more later on, we had to dramatically change everything we were doing, and stop all our plans, in late March. To have come right at the start of the second week of Easter Experience wasa blow in itself, as those immediate arrangements had to be simply cancelled, but to see absolutely everything we do be brought to a shattering halt was quite shocking.

However, we mustn't lose sight of the wonderful things God had done through the preceding 7 months of activity, and | will divide this report into two to recognise this. And, on reflection, we are very aware that, just because we had to change our plans, didn’t mean God couldn't act, and we can still see His hand on our work, and even how He has opened up our eyes to possibilities we would otherwise have missed. More of that later.

The start of our year could not have looked more encouraging; giving was up, interest was raised, schools were warmly welcoming us and we were continuing to see growth in our key activities. We had opened new Christian Unions in 3 schools, and were seeing answers a to prayer for individuals known to us. Primary Schools were asking us to ae ss deliver lessons, workshops and presentations, especially as we ante approached Christmas and our extremely popular ‘Discover Christmas’ ai A was being enjoyed by Year 2 children around the borough. Our Primary \ i worker, Sarah (pictured right), even began to raise the possibility of ay hy e employing a new part time assemblies’ worker, so that she could be released to create and deliver new projects. The Trustees could see

God's hand on this, and prayerfully committed to recruiting for the spring term and we duly advertised and appointed Abby for the New Year. In the meantime, owing to the generosity of Carshalton Beeches Baptist Church in allowing us to utilise their new Youth Worker, Beca, we were able to do even more work in Secondary schools, and provide support for Kate. { Ahes (picturedOur staff numbers wereleft) and Beca growing,started to wecreate had newa series bookingsof workshops coming entitledin, and Kate‘The LIVE project’ which was designed to be launched in September 2020. ‘ee i A We were promoting prayer across the borough for our work, and we were tis strengthening and enriching our relationships with our supporting churches, f and more grants were being promised by previously unlinked charitable trusts.

Charitablea Activities5 L a - continued

In fact, let me give you a breakdown on the kind of activity we were engaged in.

Secondary

Between September 2019 and March 2020 we delivered approximately 45 PSHE or RE based workshops covering topics such as; The life of Abraham, Choices, Kindness, Knife Crime, County Lines and Healthy Relationships. These were delivered across year groups 7-10, and sixth-form students.

Around 30 assemblies (1-2 year groups per day) were delivered across a number of Secondary Schools we work closely with.

4-5 different Christian Union groups on a weekly basis, taking place in various Schools, all of which are different style groups involving some great conversations in a small group context.

Primary

RE days — 16 between Sept & Feb half term, one of these was a brand new Christmas half day for reception that a school requested.

Iwonder spaces — 4 in the autumn term, one of these was a school new to Ilwonder spaces and we created it for their new school vision that was launching that week all about letting our light shine (Matthew 5:16)

They had this feedback for us - ‘I just wanted to say a huge thank you for today! The workshop was outstanding and the children had sucha lovely time. All the staff have commented to say how wondertul it was so, thank you!’

And we also put up a display board of some of the things the children had done during the space & invited the parents to come & see it.

Discover Christmas — 19 schools had this workshop, three of these hadn’t had it before (one of those we hadn't done anything in at all for years)

Assemblies —

Autumn 1 - 46 assemblies over 32 schools Autumn 2 - 44 assemblies over 30 schools

Then Abby joined in January and took over assemblies. Spring 1 - 43 assemblies over 33 schools Spring 2 - 17 assemblies over 14 schools (lockdown)

Charitable Activities - continued

Other sessions —

Easter Experience — Carshalton Methodist went ahead as usual with 9 schools attending. Trinity had 3 schools attend and then the rest of it was cancelled due to lockdown.

CSI: Easter — A new workshop developed this year for either year 2 or 3 pupils, based on a resource from Southwark diocese. We visited 3 schools, the other 3 were cancelled due to lockdown.

One of the schools said this at the end of the school year - ‘Some of the children have put your workshops, especially the CS! one, as their highlights of Year 3!’

SonShine club — SonShine club restarted in Jan 2020 at St Dunstan’s after a couple of years break. We had around 16 children attend the weekly after school club. However, it’s been unable to start up again.

Churches

We had improved links with many of our churches, and developed some with previously less involved ones. The second Big Church Quiz Night, with 11 churches committing this year, as opposed to 4 the first year, was approaching and all looked incredibly promising for our medium to long term future.

However......

We were obviously aware, as most of the country were, that there was a developing issue regarding the Covid outbreak. Throughout February and into early March we could see the changes beginning to come in around us, and we began to voice some concerns that our school work would be affected. All our schools indicated that, until the government said otherwise, we were welcome to come in, and we ensured all our staff maintained their personal discipline regarding hands and space.

Annual Report 2019/20 - Sutton Schools Christian Workers Trust known as Sutton Schoolswork

Report of the Director of Charitablei] Activitiesa a a - continued

| can clearly remember running the Big Church Quiz Night on 7" March and thinking that this might be the last big thing we do for a few weeks! And big it certainly was; 11 churches, 66 teams participating, with close to 400 people involved, raising around £1,500 for us and around £1,000 for associated charities. Little did we know the impact of what was about to occur.

We anticipated that schools would begin to be nervous about attending the week of Easter Experience, and over the week of the second venue’s performances at Trinity Church, Sutton, we began to get a few schools saying they wouldn’t be coming. And when the government announced on Thursday 19'" March (yes, it really was that long ago) that all schools would close as of Friday 20'", we immediately had to cancel Easter Experience at North Cheam Baptist the following week, plus all our other bookings for the end of term.

We can all probably remember trying to take in the scale of what was going on, and the possible time frames being suggested. Schools had managed to keep open for a little longer than most other establishments, but as even they had to close their doors, there was always that implication that we could be back shortly after the end of the Easter holiday period. We knew we were now surplus to requirements, in that the schools were closed, so we had nowhere to practice our craft, so | asked the staff to take a couple of weeks to wind down, and get ready for the new term however it was going to look. We had a couple of staff dealing with personal matters; the most impact was felt by Kate as she not only came down with the virus and spent several very uncomfortable days recovering, she also had to postpone her wedding which was supposed to happen late April.

Easter came and went, and as a staff and Trustees we began to realise that this interruption was for a much longer time than we had first thought. A significant development was the announcement of a furlough scheme, and we took the decision not to furlough any of our workers, for the simple reason that we felt we could still provide the schools with something decent, which would mean our staff would still be working.

The first thing we did was upload a video of Easter Experience that had been recorded at Carshalton Methodist a few weeks previously. This received such a positive response from our schools that we decided to further investigate the possibility of producing even more material and making it available online, free of charge, to all our partner schools. Sarah Skinner became our expert, and launched into her new role of producer in chief and very soon we were seeing the fruits of her craft.

Charitable Activities - continued

Needless to say, we have simply been overwhelmed by the response these videos have had. Sarah, Abby and our wonderful volunteers began to put in many hours writing, designing and creating a range of weekly assembly videos, and making them available online for all. Schools had opened their doors to their key worker and vulnerable children, so we were able to supply them with material to use, and many of them also sent the links out to their children to enable them to watch them at home. These weekly videos have become such an established part of our delivery that it now seems strange to talk about a time when we weren't doing them, and we can see what God has done through this period, reminding us that He has new plans, and not to simply keep doing what worked well before.

Kate and Beca recognised the value of such material, and launched their own series of ‘Thought for the week’ videos which were more relevant to the older children, and again we have had some warm responses. They also created a ‘Grill a Christian’ film of around 30 minutes inviting local youth workers and key partners to share their responses to some of those thorny questions we can often be asked to consider.

Summer Term — no ‘live’ assemblies [many booked but had to be cancelled], however, our primary schools have been very positive about our online assemblies and at least 17 are using them regularly.

Some positive quotes we have received...

Brookfields, ‘We have been using some of your assemblies for our Monday Assembly slot and the children have really enjoyed them. We look forward to the Christmas Assemblies next half term.’

Cheam Park Farm, ‘We continue to enjoy your online assemblies on a weekly basis, so many thanks for those. We look forward to welcoming you back in at some point hopefully sooner rather than later.’

Abbey Primary, ‘’ve sent teachers the links to all your fab online assemblies — spot on. Keep them coming!!!’

Beddington Infants, ‘Many thanks for this information [regarding online assemblies]. This is super and we will be using them. ‘

Annual Report 2019/20 - Sutton Schools Christian Workers Trust known as Sutton Schoolswork

Charitable Activities - continued

Robin Hood Juniors, ‘Thank you for the assembly videos, the ones last term were great!’

St. Elphege’s, ‘Thank you for the email. We will definitely utilise the assemblies in each bubble. Please pass my thanks on to your team.’

And from further afield, a primary school in Newmarket, Suffolk,

‘Our children at All Saints [CE Primary School] use your assemblies every week, for Thursday’s Collective Worship.’

Visiting one primary school recently, for a Discover Christmas workshop, a girl saw Abby and exclaimed, ‘! know you! | saw you on TV!’ Despite us not being physically in schools for so long, we are still remembered and still making an impact — Praise God!

What was due to happen in the summer term but didn’t:

Online work:

Easter Experience was put online using footage that we had from the previous year’s dress rehearsals. We had lots of positive and thankful comments from teachers that included it in the children’s home learning packs one teacher said this about it ‘it was almost as atmospheric watching it on line as seeing you all live. Please thank all of the team for their hard work. The girls will love this.’

RE lesson videos were offered to schools that would find them useful. One school took us up on this & we did 3 videos for them.

Transit. Along with Kate & Beca we created some videos that year 6 pupils could use to replace our usual Transit workshops. And again teachers were grateful for the resources.

Assemblies We did 12 weekly online assemblies which were watched hundreds of times and not just by our schools in Sutton.

Feedback on our online materials

17.07 Melinda - My son has been watching all your assemblies during the COVID crisis and just wanted to say that we have really appreciated all of them. We hope you will be able to carry on in September as it has been so helpful.

Charitable Activities - continued

14.07 Danielle - / just wanted to write and tell you how much | have enjoyed your online assemblies during Lockdown. Thank you for your creative and engaging assemblies, | know that the children in my class bubble have thoroughly enjoyed watching them. Your creativity has been amazing.

06.07 Trish - We just wanted to tell you how much we (me and my 7 year old daughter) enjoy watching your assembly videos at home. We like answering the questions and doing the activities. We especially loved the one where it was filmed in our local park (Carshalton). | know that a lot of my child’s Yr. 2 class from St Marys Carshalton enjoy them too. Thank you for your hard work! 26.06 Headteacher, St Nicolas and St Mary CE Primary School, Eastern Avenue, Shoreham-bySea, West Sussex, BN43 6PE Just to say big thanks — every Friday I’ve done an intro and link to one of your videos — It makes it a little easier for me, and the children have loved Becca ‘that parrot thing’ and friends. I’ve also got my Y6 to watch the transition one. All good stuff. Keep up the good work. Do you have any plans for next term?

06.06 - Hello! My name is Margaret and | am a Christian schools' worker (Primary) in Grimsby. | have been doing this for 18 years and now am having to quickly learn new skills in order to move to delivering online content! | have been looking at your assemblies and RE lessons which | think are absolutely excellent.

05.06 Lucy - / just wanted to express thanks for the assembly material we have been sent via school. We have 4 kids, 2 of which are at All Saints Carshalton. We really appreciated the content as a family (hope balloon) and will look forward to doing the others in due course. Thanks for all you do and keep doing!

As we ran through the Summer term, we knew that, although we could not be seen physically in the buildings, God had ways of getting the core message of His love out into our community, and we were privileged to be a part of this, and we cannot begin to express how grateful we are that He had stored up the financial capital to allow us to continue to pay our staff and still perform roles that allow the gospel to be made known, even through these difficult circumstances.

We end the summer term excited about what else He might do next. It is highly unlikely that we will see many schools letting us back in in early September, and we may even have to find more new ways of speaking His truth and supporting teachers and children in their delivery and in their understanding of this truth.

One thing we are sure of though, is that He continues to be sovereign, and continues to inspire, guide and lead us.

CharitableLj Activitiesa a Li - continued

May | close this report in acknowledging several people:-

Sara continued to provide diligent support and a permanent smile in the office. When the lockdown set in, she also had to make significant adjustments in working from home, dislocated from the office and the rest of us. However, she continued to come in occasionally to ensure messages were responded to and correspondence was dealt with.

To all our volunteers — a BIG thank you. You have continued to maintain the same level of commitment and determination to this cause as ever, and we always know that, without your assistance, we would never be able to achieve what we do.

To all our praying saints — your words are so important to our work, and for our own health and welfare. The evil one will do what he can to disrupt, and it’s the prayers of the faithful that maintain our borders and keep back his scheming.

To all our supporting churches — a heartfelt and grateful thank you. Many churches contribute both financially and prayerfully and we are so thankful that we have such a strong bond between us and our local borough-based worshippers. Long may it continue!

To all our individual financial supporters — again, thank you. We have many who give sacrificially so that the work of ensuring that local children hear the voice of Christians in their own school can continue, and do so through regular donations, and even through the odd and quite unexpected (for us anyway) cheque in an envelope popped into the post. You are such an important part of what we do.

And finally — please continue to pray. We have so many opportunities that have come to us through the work that was done previously, and we want to continue to tell others about our Saviour. Prayer is our lifeblood, and we have re-discovered our need for it even more during these last few months. Whatever the future holds, and whatever the new ‘normal’ may look like, we know our God is constant and faithful and mighty to save.

Trustees’ Report (continued)

Reserves Policy

The Trustees review the level of reserves at the beginning of each financial year and have determined that the appropriate level of free reserves should be sufficient to meet three months operating expenditure should the charity experience a significant drop in income, this equates to £28,365. Additional reserves are also needed to replace fixed assets at the appropriate time. At the end of the year unrestricted funds were £51,491 (2019 - £57,122).

Risk Assessment

In April 2020 the major risks facing the charity were reviewed and any necessary steps have been taken to lessen these risks.

The key risk identified was the uncertainty of income - The Trust monitors the income and with a Director of Charitable Activities, have a permanent person who is responsible for generating the necessary funds.

Activities

The main activities of the company are the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs, particularly amongst children and young people in the schools, colleges and other educational establishments in the London Borough of Sutton, and the advancement of education in accordance with Christian principles.

Volunteers

The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the valued work undertaken again by volunteers during the year. Their input has significantly reduced the running costs of the company. These include:

  1. School worker volunteers

  2. Administration volunteers

  3. Church representatives

With the help of the above, the supporters in finance and prayer, and those who attended the annual service and prayer meetings, the company has continued to achieve its aims this year.

Review of the Year

The Trust made a deficit £5,631 in the year, however with sufficient reserves we continue to build on the wonderful foundations laid by previous workers and increase the reach of the charity in the schools in Sutton.

The Trust has continued to enjoy the support of a large number of local Churches and individuals, through the donation of finance and prayer support. The directors are very grateful to Cheam Methodist Church for their continuing generosity in providing the Trust with office accommodation, which considerably reduces the running costs of the company.

Notes to the Financial Statements

c) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets by equal annual instalments over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:

Equipment - 33% straight line basis

d) Incoming resources

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under gift aid is recognised at the time of donation.

e) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount and obligation can be measured reliably.
