OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
CYM is a small independent Charity with a great reputation for delivering evangelical Christian youth
work in Ipswich and the surrounding areas.
Our vision statement has two aims: Investing in Generations - Inspired by Jesus and our Mission is
to bling wholeness through Safe Spaces. We did this within our t￿0 main activit'es, our camp and day
activities based at Vauxhall Fann, Great Wenham. and within our nebNork of Chaplains across schools
in Ipswich.
Significant activities
Residential Minist & Pro
ramme
During 2023-24, we have continued to expand our activities at the Vauxhall Christian Trust site. This
growth includes increased residential bookings and the development of day provisions to support a home-
schooled group. We aim to further develop these day opportunities in the coming year to extend activities
beyond the core residential season. To support this In￿ased activity. we have expanded our staff team.
which. ￿lIe adding cost pressures, is essential for enhancing our mission opportunits'es. We are grateful
for our strong partnership with Vauxhall Christian Trust. vthich plays a crucial role in fulfilling our mission.
Cha
lainc
This year marf(s the eighth year of our Chaplaincy in schools. CYM currently has Chaplains available to
15 school sites across Suffolk, and our CEO also serves as a Chaplain at the local Children's Hospice.
We have partnered with local churches to develop a new Chaplaincy role at East Bergholt Academy this
year. In the coming year. we are eager to invest in and expand our Chaplaincy roles. Most Chaplains are
now funded by schools and the service is provided under a service level agreement.
Su
ortin
the Local Church and Mission
Residential Weekends
Residential Weekends have always been an effective plafform for discipleship and building community
among young people across Ipswich. This year, we hosted severa5 weekends at the Vauxhall site in
partnership with Bury Christian Youth and Kintsugi Hope.
Dwell
Dwell is our programme designed to support those in children's and youth ministry in local churches. It is
our way of saying thank you, acknowledging their efforts, and ensuring they know they are not alone. We
hosted a stripped-back weekend retreat and Other events throughout the year.
The Gatherin
In collaboration with local churches, we facilitate a Christian worship event for young people (school years
7-13) across Ipswich and beyond. This has had regular attendance of approximately 100 local young
people, as well as their youth workers.
Church Links
Our connections with local churches remain crucial to CYM. Opportunities to participate in church seplices
have increased significantly after the post-COVlD-19 period of online meetings. It is always a pleasure to

share CYM'S work and engage with supporters. CYM'S publicity and communications continue to be well-
received by our supporters. In addition to traditional prayer letters and magazines. digltal media plays an
important role in raising the profile of our work.
CYM is a 'people organisation, and could not exist without the dedication, skills, and enthusiasm of our
staff, students. and large bank of volunteers who willingly give their time to help CYM achieve its
objecb'ves. The Trustees are grateful for all the work and time given by these individuals, often at great
personal cost.
Trainin
CYM has a strong history of investing in students and individuals on gap years. In the coming year, we
will have a student involved in Sports Ministry vnrking with us and intend to relaunch a new look Gap
Year opportunity.
Conclusion
The Trustees are excited about the continued growth and evolution of CYM'S work. Our posrtive working
relationship with Vauxhall Christian Trust has opened many exciting opportunities. While we are
budgeting for an operating loss in the initial years of establishing our offer to schools. we remain confident
that we will eventually secure a core market share of regular schools, and day activth'es enabling this
work to grow.
We are also keen to expand our Chaplaincy network with additional posts and involvement in more
SCI￿OIs. Investiro in this area of work remains a priority.
We are grateful for the commitment of our Trustee Team, the hard work of our staff and volunteers. and
the generosity of local churches and individual supporters. The continued support of all our partners is
vital as we continue 'Shining the Light, by maintaining a posrtive and passionate Christian presen￿ in the
lives of children and young people in the Ipswich area.
