l. Introduction The Trustees of Top Church Training (TCT) present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30th November 2024. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. TCT is a charitable company limited by guarantee. incorporated on 6th March 1997 (Company No. 3328704) and registered with the Charity Commission on 7th May 1997 (Charity No. 1062241). It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21st February 1997. 2. Objectives and Activities TCT exists to support young people. individuals and families who are socially and economically disadvantaged. particularly those experiencing loneliness, isolation, and low income. Our mission is to build stronger, healthier communities through: Community support and outreach Education and training Work experience and volunteering opportunities Targeted support for young people, individuals and families to help them build confidence, develop life skills, and access opportunities for personal and professional growth We work closely with local partners, businesses, and other charities to deliver our services with sustainability and collaboration at the hearL 3. Achievements and Performance 2024 has been one of the most challenging years in our history. The ongoing cost of living crisis has intensified the struggles faced by many in our community. from povety and housing insecurity to rnental health and relationship breakdowns. In response, we launched a two-strand, evidence-informed model designed to: l. Address immediate and crisis needs through specialist support 2. Reduce isolation and build confidence through rneaningful, inclusive group activities 3. Empower long-term change via volunteering vocational trainin& peer support, and coaching. Our work this year has been shaped by a commitment to: . Co-production with service users Holistic. coordinated support Flexibility and responsiveness Pep.r-led support 2nd volunteering • Diversity and inclusion Access to expert advice and intervention Page 3 Doc ID.. 884c7efe8cc6c1 aff59d8587719d015d7f2e84b6
- Achievements and Performance (continued) Throughout 2024, we observed a significant increase in referrals for our family support services. By the end of November 2024. we had assisted a total of 219 families, comprising 806 individuals, predominantly from unemployed single-parent households with an average of 3 to 4 children per family. This represents the highest number of individuals we have ever supported in a single year since the inception of our National Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities lottery-funded project. Unfortunately, this underscores the ongoing crisis we are facing. The lingering effects of the pandemic, school holiday overspending, the persistent high cost of living, and hikes in food and travel costs, energy, and local council tax bills suggest that this number will likely rise as we move into early 2025. Observations at our groups indicated that parents are not encouraging their children to play with age-appropriate toys, engage in ball games, or build with Lego bricks. Instead, children were being introduced to electronic gadgets and phones at too early an age, which we believe is impacting on their overall development. Therefore, much of our focus has been on improving bonding and reconnecting parents with their children through various family group activities. During group sessions, we have implemented a ban on mobile phones and encouraged parents to play with their children. All our toys and learning resources have been carefully selected to boost children's learning while empowering parents to take an active interest in play. We have also provided a selection of age-appropriate snacks and sugar-free juices to encourage healthier eating habits. IOO¥o of these families referred to our charity were unemployed, living in poverty and in need of emergency crisis support and food provision. We heard of the harrowing stories of parents going without food to ensure that their children were fed. Many were at threat of losing their homes due to arrears with their rent and utility bills. Our intense work not only focused on the priority need but also on providing life skills training around managing their budgets and how to manage a home. our cooking workshops focused on eating well for less and savvy shopping techniques, along with hosting more group activities than ever before to reduce their isolation and loneliness. Many families were telling us that they were unable to pay to take their children to play groups and indoor play centers and therefore. their children would spend their holidays at home. 100% of these families received intense support with applying for correct benefit entitlements, including PIP. 100 % of these families reported an increase in their confidence and self-esteem 80 % felt more confident to manage their money independently. Over rhe pasr 12 months. we have seen an increase in the number of children presenting at our parent groups with delayed learning. Many are not potty trained or able to communicate effertively for their age. They also exhibit poor hand-eye coordination, which we believe is due to a lack of parental intervention and the aftereffects of Page 4 Doc ID.. 884c7efe8cc6c1 aff59d8587719d015d7f2e84b6
lockdown. This has now become our main priority for 2025 and to be included in future funding applications. We continued to work in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to offer a weekly Job Club tailored for young people with Autism. This quieter. safer space allowed participants to engage in job search artivities. many of whom progressed into volunteering and group programmes with one young person being accepted a place at Oxford University. With support from TCT, these young people came together to create a youth group specifically designed to support those struggling with Autism and feeling excluded from mainstream provision. They named this the"Outside the Boombox" and met weeldy to take part in group activities. which gradually expanded to include outings and trips. Friendships formed quicldy within the group. fostering a deep sense of inclusion and belongin& something many had never experienced before. These connertions have endured, with many of the friendships going strong today. In recognition of their dedication to community volunteering. the group was honored with a Volunteering Award at the evening of the Dudley CVS Volunteering Award. We are grateful for the continued support of our local MP Mike Wood and Councillor Adam Davies, who have visited Harrfs Café and assisted with complex challenges. Their engagement reinforces the importance of our work within the constituency. 4. Impact Highlights Throughout 2024, Over 1.650 individuals were supported through our various programmes and services, including crisis support. Housing budgeting and finance, food provision, wellbeing activities. parent and coffee morning family activities, youth groups, community events, volunteering and trainee programrnes at Harrys Community Coffee shop and at our allotment project Mental Health continued to remain one of our biggest challenges faced by those engaged with our services, with 100% of all referrals struggling with social anxiety, depression and Agoraphobia. The figures below reflect the fast and ever-changing needs of a flexible service taking us in new directions, but which continue to deliver to our stated objectives. 200 families received support around debt management. prevention of homelessness- through the liaising with landlords and Dudley MBC and referred to more specialist services for supporL 95 % were supported to access corrert benefit entitlements. 6.500* mea13 served in our comfflunity café More than 13.560 volunteer hours contributed through our Community Coffee shop Harrys, Allotment projects, events and activities and youth worlL 54 people have completed their level l and level 2 Trainee and volunteering programmes.

35 young people completed our targeted development programme 50 Weekly peer support groups helping 200 people per year helped reduce their isolation and feeling a sense of purpose. 26 Community events held over the year at our community coffee Shop Harrfs, brought together over 600 new young people and families into the service. 60 Looked After young people were provided 1-2-1 crisis support and intervention support through our Alliance Partnership funded through Dudley Council- Young People's Floating Support. Working alongside Children's Services and YPA'S to bring about better outcomes for the most vulnerable young people in our society. 55 unemployed people were supported through the UK Shared Prosperity funding and have returned to either employment, education, training and volunteering. 85 individuals have become members and regularly attended our Women's and men's group, which have a focus around reducing loneliness and isolation. We have identified emerging leaders from both groups and with our support, will train and support individuals to feel confident to take on this vital role. Harrys Community Coffee shop has become a beacon of hope for our local community, as per figures above show. there has been a significant increase in all ages accessing our various community led activities, community events and trainlng and volunteering programmes highlighting the very need for these services. "Volunteering at the café gave me a reason to get up in the morning. I've made friends. learned new skills, and now I'm applying for a job in catering." Community Café Volunteer. "I am 80 years of age and really enjoy coming to Harrys to meet my friends for coffee and tea cakes. IYS such a wonderful place. the staff are welcoming and helpful. It feels like a home from home. Nothing is too much trouble and if I have a problem, they are always there to help me. I lost my husband awhile ago and feel very lonely and isolated. If it wasn't for Harrys, I think I would stay at home." Throughout much of 2024 we had the rare opportunity through our new business contacts - 5 Alive Networking and Non-League Networking- to trial out our new Harrys Catering services. This initiative has proven to be most successful and provided opportunities for income generation and advanced training for our volunteers and trainees wishing to find emplonent in the hospitality and catering industry. 5. Twelve-month Outlook As the cost-of-living crisis continues, we anticipate further challenges for both the communities we serve and the charity itself. However. the TCT team remains motivated and committed to delivering even more services and support- despite limited resources. We are actively developing a robust two-to-three-year financial and operational plan to secure our medium-terni future. Page 6 Doc ID.. 884c7efe8cc6c1 aff59d8587719d015d7f2e84b6

- Rebuilding Community After COVID-19 We have worked to rebuild trust, connection, and a sense of belonging. Initiatives such as the"Say Hello" bench project, our cooking workshops. and family outings have helped individuals take those first steps back into community life. We are now receiving more referrals of young people than ever before struggling with mental health issues, especially around social anxiety that has been proven to be a direct impart to the constraints of lock down.
- Early Years Recovery We ran over 50 mother and baby groups throughout the year, encouraging parents to leave their homes and helping children interart, play, and explore. We worked closely with local Family Hubs to ensure families could access expert advice. This will be a key feature for 2025.
