An#uo1 Report and Finanrlal Statements for the Year ended 31 December 2023
Chairman's Report 2023
The year has seen more changes In WYFC. This lime last year we welcomed John McReadie and we were sory tolose John
shoruy after the AGM when he moved to Wirral WYFC bul we ftjlly understand his desire lo work closer lo home with new baby
Asha's health problems. We wish him and his family w811.
11 was good lo welcome Alex Stewart to the team, initially p2rt time In town centre and later extending lo a fiill time role with half
his lime in Penkelh replaang John. The evidence of God's call of Alex was that after several failed atternpts to recruit a part time
Town Centre worker the team were spending lime praying and fasting about what to do next. That day Trafford YFC told Alex that
his contract would end. The next day he rang Steve to ask about the Town Centre job and was soon part of the team
We missed both Rachel and Ruth being part of the working team whilst they have both had lo spend prolonged periods off sl¢k.
We all hope to see then back with the teasn soon.
Al the end of the year we lost Shirley Cowan from the council of reference to make more lime for her lo collcentrale on the Fil
For Mission reslru¢luring of the Anglican church in Warringlon for which she is part of the navigation team leading th8
transforfflalion process.
Exec business as usual was varied. During 2023 the Tab caravan was finally disposed lo Wigan- thanks to Steve and Simon for
organising the transfer.
Blades Down schools week and FUSE event run iw'ce (July and November) and were anolh&r example ofthe way that God led
WYFC. The Blades Down (knife-crime themed evenll was originally planned just before COVID so was delayed and rescheduled
for 2023. The topic was sadly was very timely and relevant in Warringlon after the terrible killing of Brianna Ghey.
Thanks lo Simon Fawcett for maintaining and updating the WYFC Gsuile for the centre's administratson
As Iruslees we discussod fund raising several limes because the Real Living wage went up another 100A120Yo in 2 years) so we
need to look for a further £7k new income to cover the pay Increase. One of the new ideas is the WYFC week {glh June 20241,
trying to get a video clip about WYFC and opportunities to support the work into all the Warringlori Churche5. A lol of work went
into the Henry Smith gmnt application (sadly not successful and very over-subscribed as the last round of funding to prior year
specifically for Christian workers.
Opportunities for new partnership hav& been explored with Independent Methodists in Stockton Heath, Culchelh and most recently
Risley IM in Padgale.
The trustees and council of reference reviewed the WYFC strategy with the team and enjoyed taking part in the Jan 2024 Wision
away day together at Stockton Heath Christian Fellowship
As usual I want to finish by thanklng the team and Iruslees for all their work and the council ol referencE for their support in the last
year as well the people who have given generously Its fund the charity.
