## REPORT OF OUR CHAIR OF TRUSTEES 

I start this report by thanking Rev Kevin Lewis for his many years of service as a trustee and in latter years as Chair of Sutton Schools Work (SSW) and congratulating him on his appointment as Area Dean, the additional responsibilities of which precipitate the need for someone to step into his voluminous shoes. I am also grateful to Kevin for agreeing to continue as a trustee, not least while the ‘new boy’ learns the ropes. 

Prior to retirement I led an education trust (LGfL) owned by and serving all London’s 33 local authorities, hence with some knowledge of other boroughs I have more than a token of appreciation of what an absolute gem SSW is and how exceptional is its existence and ministry. When I first joined the board seven years ago and began to understand the scale and scope of SSW’s influence and ministry, it struck me that churches of many boroughs and towns would ‘give their eyeteeth’ to have an organisation like SSW carrying Christian truth and influence into their schools. 

It is the churches of Sutton combined with the support of individuals and charitable trusts, who are the engine room which invisibly powers this outreach ministry through practical, financial and prayerful support, without which it would soon be unable to continue. SSW was at its outset an initiative of churches across the borough and has remained so for over 25 years. 

Ably led by our Director of Charitable Activities Simon Ellingham, the staff team showed great initiative overcoming the restraints imposed by the Covid epidemic, creating online Christian materials which have been put to good use nationally and internationally. Now with the restraints of Covid substantially behind us we have found the doors to schools open wider than ever, which in itself is an affirming testimony to the value which schools place on our services and the respect in which our staff and volunteers are held. Meeting the high demand from schools for lessons and assemblies continues to be a substantial but welcome challenge. 

In his report a year ago Kevin told of Sarah Skinner’s ‘child on the way’ and the recruitment of Rachel Marlow as P/T maternity cover. I can confirm a safe arrival and more recently the welcome return of Sarah following maternity leave. Rachel proved such a successful appointment the trustees took the step of faith of extending her appointment alongside Sarah and Abby, together forming a really strong Primary schools team which has continued to flourish.

## REPORT OF OUR CHAIR OF TRUSTEES - continued 

In the secondary phase we have bid farewell to Kate Travers who has served SSW wonderfully and now received a clear call to take up the role of youth pastor in her home church. We wondered how we could ever replace Kate but believing the principle of “the cattle on a thousand hills are Mine” (Ps 50), we reached out with the result of adding Ella Andrews to the team. 

Throughout the year SSW’s ministry has continued unabated - lessons, assemblies, RE Days, iWonder Spaces, Kintsugi Hope and support for CUs have all combined to present biblical truth and values in an attractive way to thousands of children and young people; and once again the glorious story of Easter has been presented dramatically to over 1400 children who have attended ‘Easter Experience’ hosted in Cheam, Sutton and Carshalton churches. 

On behalf of all the trustees, to all those who have given, served, prayed and supported and made all this possible - to churches, individuals, staff team and volunteers -– a huge and heartfelt “Thank You”. And to our God who gives us the victory – all praise! 

Jesus said “The thief comes only to kill and steal and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in all its fullness”. In the increasingly secular, materialistic and celebrity-obsessed culture our children and young people are growing up in, SSW works through the team of staff workers and wonderful volunteers, to present Jesus, to hold out the truths of the Christian faith and to promote values and understandings which offer a far better way to live. May our God and Saviour, who has truly been ‘Jehovah Jireh’, a wonderful provider, continue to bless, prosper and use this work for the extension of His Kingdom.

## Report of the Director of Charitable Activities 

Once again, I’m delighted to report that Sutton Schoolswork has experienced a wonderful year, serving the schools and churches of Sutton, bringing the name of Jesus Christ into the lives of thousands of children and young people who otherwise would have no contact with Christianity, other than in their RE lessons. Working together with our fantastic team of volunteers, we have sought to reveal, explain, nurture and disciple, and have witnessed some truly God ordained moments. It appears that we have continued to deliver incredibly high quality (based on teacher feedback) workshops, assemblies, conferences, Christian Unions, support groups, RE lessons etc, and have done so for over 25 years in the borough, we are a truly ‘established’ service provider and acknowledged as such by our partners on the council. 

Hundreds of believing, faithful followers of Jesus support us, in many different ways, and we pray that this relationship will continue, as we are currently experiencing our busiest ever year, employing more staff than at any time in our history, and consequently more children and young people are hearing of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the core reason for our existence. 

## **Summary of 2021-2022** 

**Primary** - Despite the fact that many schools were still significantly restricting visitors owing to Covid, in September 2021 the Trustees agreed to call a part time member of staff to provide temporary maternity cover for our full time Primary Schoolsworker, engaging Rachel for two terms. A fully qualified teacher, she was able to bring a completely new dimension to our work, and her experience in schools proved invaluable. We found that we were the only outside agency that many of the primary schools were allowing in, as they trusted us to deliver quality and it was considered to be so important to them. Full school assemblies were not being conducted yet, but many schools asked us to attend to run classroom-based ones, and this massively increased our workload, but we managed somehow, through God’s grace! 

We initially were concerned that our main provision other than assemblies for this term, Discover Christmas, may be undersubscribed, but surprisingly we were overwhelmed by 13 schools booking us in, the most we’ve ever had. Demanding from a staffing point of view, but exhilarating to perform and be engaging with so many children delighted to hear the true story of the Nativity, which doesn’t stop when the wise men leave, but continues all the way to the empty tomb! 

And then Easter Experience, which once again proved an extraordinary adventure, with over 1400 children witnessing the events of the final week of Jesus’ ministry before his crucifixion and resurrection. A genuine highlight in the calendar for many schools, we spend 3 weeks telling the story and answering the children’s questions, enabling many of them to hear for the first time in their lives that there is a Saviour, and introduce them to him.

## Report of the Director of Charitable Activities - continued 

And, wonderfully, as Sarah returned from maternity, God enabled us to retain Rachel, and they now work part time alongside each other, meaning we can now deliver even more than previously. As a result, the summer term became incredibly active as we could provide more staffing for workshops, assemblies and events, and our Transit workshops to 12 schools enabled us to engage with over 900 Year 6 children as they contemplated their move to secondary school. 

We finish our year in Primary schools feeling even more engaged and involved than ever before, with the resources to deliver to more schools, and more children as a result. We also continue to pray that this presence, in nearly every school in the borough, means that hundreds of teachers are hearing our key message, that Jesus is alive, and just as accessible to them as any of the children in their care. 

**Secondary** – The picture in our secondary schools was much more restricted due to Covid, and our Christian Union activity was severely limited for the first term, but we were still able to engage with several of our most keen establishments. Probably our most enthusiastic supporter is the CAN Academy Trust, responsible for 2 schools, and they booked us in straight away for our annual series of LIVE workshops, and we were able to deliver to over 1200 young people workshops on Knife Crime, County Lines and Healthy Relationships, including clear referencing to the guidance contained and available within the Bible, linking this with our own Christian faith. Our strong relationship with these 2 schools improved and deepened throughout the year, and as we finished the summer term, we were able to meet with the key teaching leads and discuss even more provision next term, a truly exciting example of God’s guiding hand. 

Our work in Christian Unions gradually gathered pace as the year progressed and by the end of 2022 we were fully engaged in 7 of them, 2 of them being brand new, having only just started this academic year! 

Our main ‘success’ has been the introduction of Kintsugi Hope into 1 school this year. This was tentatively welcomed by a non-Christian teacher who felt it had something of value, as long as we didn’t make it too ‘Christian’. We agreed a set of key principles, but, significantly, obtained an acceptance that we could speak about our own faith if appropriate, and, 12 months later, that same teacher is now implementing the course as an established feature of the school’s provision. Astonishingly, as a result of the positive impact of the group, a Christian Union was created in that school for the first time in 10 years. Another establishment is asking for us to come in to discuss provision of the same there, and we are praying that this new venture for SSW will see much growth for the kingdom of God. 

Other activities throughout the year were a 6th form conference, participating in the Transit workshops and Easter Experience, Grill a Christian sessions, Sutton SACRE meetings, RE lessons, a borough wide Youth strategy event, and prayer spaces.

## Report of the Director of Charitable Activities - continued 

In the last few weeks of the 2021-22 year, Kate, our full time worker, announced she was leaving to join her church staff as a youthworker. We prayerfully advertised to replace her, and found Ella, who started at the end of September 2022. We strongly believe that her unique brand of contagious faith will reap dividends as we have just managed to fully re-establish contact with some schools who had been silent throughout Covid and slow to emerge, and the coming term has already filled up with bookings. What is clear is that our work will continue to grow, and, despite the demand on our services increasing, we believe in a faithful, generous God, who provides all that is needed to achieve His purposes, so we confidently keep saying ‘Yes’! 

Our amazing volunteers continue to support us, and quite simply are the main reason for our ‘success’. Without them, we would be so much less, and I know that the children they interact with thoroughly appreciate what they contribute. From our team of regular assembly deliverers, through our Discover Christmas supporters, and, of course, our wonderful Easter Experience actors, we are truly blessed in this borough with people from all over the Christian spectrum, and it is simply a privilege to be involved. 

Our finances, despite the fact that we now employ 1 full time, and 5 part time workers, remain sufficient to pay the wages, for which we thank God, and this year our income rose slightly on the previous one. By far the majority of that generosity is demonstrated through the incredible provision from our partnering churches and supporters, with additional donations from a few Trusts, and payments from schools. 

Our prayer support remains incredibly strong, as we have added even more new names to our database of praying, faithful followers, who we keep updated every month, and we firmly believe that we are rooted and grounded in the hearts of hundreds of people around the borough (and some wonderful friends from around the country), who raise our work to the one who hears, and ask for Him to guide, strengthen and lead us. 

So, ultimately, our thanks go out to you all. Many of you are part of our family, and we are so grateful for your contribution, however small.

## Priorities for next year – 2022 / 23 

## **SSW priorities for next year:-** 

1. Continue to deliver the highest quality assemblies to primary schools across the borough, raising the name of Jesus in as many as possible. Currently the total number of schools engaging is still low compared to previous years, due to Covid restrictions, but our aim is to increase this throughout the year. 

2. Embed our new member of staff, Rachel, into post as our primary schools coordinator, and support her as she engages with schools. 

3. Deliver the Discover Christmas workshop to as many schools as possible, with a target of 12. 

4. Deliver our Easter Experience presentation, having been unable to last year, and only briefly in 2020. 

5. As all our schools continue to emerge from Covid restrictions, engage with as many as possible, building on the excellent relationships we had nurtured throughout the past year whilst mainly online. 

6. Increase our delivery of LIVE project workshops from our current base of 2 schools. 

7. Support our Christian Unions around the borough, as schools begin to open up their doors to visitors from outside. 

8. Launch our new Kintsugi Hope workshops in Greenshaw High School. 

9. By the end of the year, deliver our annual 6th form conference day at Carshalton Girls. 

10. Continue to increase our prayer support base, maintaining a bedrock of praying believers who intercede for us. To be achieved by regular contact via monthly updates, visits to churches, and attending church leaders’ gatherings. 

11. Maintain a presence on SACRE to provide an opportunity to speak into delivery of RE across the borough.

## 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 £24,619. Additional reserves are also needed to replace fixed assets at the appropriate time. At the end of the year unrestricted funds were £48,823 (2021 - £42,481). 

## Risk Assessment 

In April 2022 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 surplus of £6,784 in the year (2021 deficit of £9,010) and 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.
