SALTBURN CHRISTIAN PROJECTS
Directors’ Report for the period 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022
Legal Status
Saltburn Christian Projects is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales on 18 May 1998, company number 3565904. It is registered as a charity, number 1070063. The registered office address is: Emmanuel Church Hall, Macnay Street, Saltburn, Cleveland, TS12 1LE.
Aims and Objectives
The company’s objectives are to support and assist young people in Saltburn and the surrounding area as an active expression of the Christian faith and its values, and to promote any other charitable activity for the benefit of the inhabitants of Saltburn. In planning our activities for the year, the trustees had regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Our objectives were successfully pursued during the course of this financial period through the DoorWays Project, engaging and deploying professional youth workers and volunteers to reach out to the young people and foster links with other voluntary and statutory bodies.
Finances and Resources
This period saw the end of one National Lottery funded project, “Ways to Enlightenment” and the beginning of a new 5-year project, “Doorways to Community” which also has its base costs funded by the National Lottery. In addition, we continued to receive generous support in the form of donations and grants from local churches, people and businesses. More details are provided in notes 2a and 2b to the financial statements. During the financial year covered by this report, our project manager John Pearson retired after 16 years of valued service together with our permanent assistant, Vanessa. Our thanks go to both of them and we are happy to welcome Neil Harris, our new full-time youth worker. With the help of volunteers, he has been building on the established relationships with local young people, providing them with advice on life choices and sources of support. The 5-year grant, awarded in 2021by the National Lottery Community Fund, will ensure the continuation of our work until 2026.

The Directors have considered the risks to which the company’s activities are exposed and have established appropriate systems to mitigate them.
