HARROW CHURCHES SCHOOLS LINK TRUST t/a re:generation REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Objects of the Trust:
The Trust brings the Christian faith to schools in the London Borough of Harrow in partnership with local churches.
Legal Structure:
The Trust was established by Declaration of Trust dated 14th June 1994, is governed by a Board of Trustees and has the Charity Commission registered number 1061200. Trustees are appointed through election to post. The charity works out of Trinity Church, Hindes Rd, Harrow HA1 1RX.
The trustees who served during the year were:
Robert Dawson Helen Bailey (resigned April 2021) Glenys Richardson Ineke Vardoe Chris Coyston (resigned September 2020) Douglas Collier (apointed March 2020) Mark Stephenson (appointed November 2020) Juz Paice (appointed March 2021)
The trustees met as a body on 5 occasions in 2020, primarily online. These meetings received feedback from our workers and identified ways in which the trust could develop. We undertook our annual review of our safeguarding policies and closely monitored our financial position. We continued to ensure that all trustees, staff and volunteers are regularley reminded of our safeguarding policy and are independently checked to ensure child protection.
Two members of staff left during the year for family reasons. Both were successfully replaced. Rebecca Baker was appointed as a Schools Worker and Becky Frost as Schools` Work Coordinator. Due to the inability to access schools for large parts of the year due to the pandemic, one member of staff was intermittently placed on furlough. As a local Mission Partner for Scripture Union, the Trust is able to access suitable training for its staff.
In early 2020 our work in schools included clubs, assemblies and Prayer Spaces. From March 2020 our work with schools went online, providing resources for assemblies and Religious Education lessons available to children in school and at home. We underook Easter and Christmas roadshows and for the first time a Christmas card competition.
In the summer term we hosted online “It`s Your Move” workshops for approximately 1,000 children in Year 6, helping them as they moved from primary to secondary school. This activity in particular, is a ‘public benefit’ provided by the Trust.
Help from our volunteers was restricted in 2020 because of the COVID 19 pandemic. We are particularly grateful to those who helped with our Christmas production. Our supporters are kept informed of the Trust’s activities by half termly newsletters, as well as the opportunity to come to regular prayer and information evenings.
