SALTBURN CHRISTIAN PROJECTS
Directors’ Report for the period 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2023
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 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
During this financial period, "Doorways to Community" successfully completed its first year of operation in September 2022. A significant portion of our activities over the past year have been carried out in collaboration with educational institutions, who have extended invitations to us for our programs.
Throughout this period, we successfully completed a total of 450 one-on-one sessions and conducted numerous group workshops, contributing to the holistic development of our community members. Additionally, we organized summer drop-in sessions for young individuals at our Saltburn base, providing them with valuable support and engagement opportunities during the break.
Our commitment to growth led to the expansion of our staff team, with Michelle Fewsdale joining on a parttime basis initially for six months, a contract that has now been extended.
Risk Exposure
The Directors have considered the risks to which the company’s activities are exposed and have established appropriate systems to mitigate them. During the prevalence of COVID-19, the company has continued to operate effectively and safely using a combination of careful social distancing and remote online contact.
