BOOST FELIXSTOWE LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2024 BOOST FELIXSTOWE LIMITED Trustees Annual Report Administrative Detalls of the Charity: The Christian Youth Worker for Felixstowe Trust Limited, now known as BOOST Felixstowe, was inaugurated in August 2000 by several churches in Felixstowe with the purpose of setting up and running a youth service for the town. This involved the employment of a full-time youth worker who would creatively deliver youth services to compliment those already offered by local churches and engage with local senior schools. The Charity has developed over the years and now provides a full- time Chaplain at Felixstowe School. Structure, Governance and Management: This is a small charlty managed by the Trustees who have a variety of professlonal backgrounds. No specific training is required for trustees, but they are often involved in the children's/youth work of their individual churches. They meet on a regular basis to supervise the charitv. Boost employs a chaplain to deliver the work of School Chaplalncy within Felixstowe School, secondary school and sixth form with Academy status. The chaplain is line managed by an appointed trustee, and other workers/volunteers report to the chaplaln as approprlate. The chaplaln also reports into the Management Team of the School. New trustees are appointed when necessary, normally from the supporting churches. Trustees and volunteers have all completed a DBS check. Flnanclal Pollcy: The charitvs financial position is laid out in the accompanying accounts. There are no overdraft facillties In place and therefore outgoings are mana8ed in Ilne with Income received. The Trust is supported by regular monthly givin8 from supporters and income is supplemented with grants and fund-raislng activities. The Reserves pollcy agreed by the Trustees Is to keep at least 3 months of outgoings available. There are no funds held as custodlan trustee on behalf of others. The work of the Trust continues to be dependent on the flnanclal support of the local churches and many Indlvidual supporters who 8lve to the Trust monthly. The Trustees are grateful for the encouragement of these people and organisations for their continued support, as well as those who attend fund ra151ng events. Flnan¢lal Revlew: Most of the funding Is expended on the salary and employment costs of the Chaplain. Our General Fund income for this financial year was £43,650 and expenditure £39,638 giving us an excess of Income over expenditure of £4,013. We were able to carry forward £22,116 which equates to approximately 44% of annual running costs. Fundlng by regular supporters, has continued at its normal level with the exception of three supporters who have dled durin8 this period. Most of the giving has attracted Gift Aid. We have seen an increase in online glvlng made through our web site, Grants have again been a significant source of income with £3,993 was obtained from The Belstead Trust, and Field to Fork, East Suffolk County Council. Additionally, the Rotary Club of Felixstowe who have made a restricted grant of £1,280 specifically for welfare 5UPPOrt for school meals, breakfast club funding and school uniform support.

BOOST FELIXSTOWE LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2024 Non-gift aid donations and fund-raising events contributed significantly greater amounts than normal during this financial year and totalled £11,787. This sum was largely because we were selected as one of the Town Mayors Charites which contributed £7,250 with a further £1,781 raised by the pupils of Felixstowe School.

Achlevements and performance: Thls academic year saw the contlnuation of chaplalncy work at Felixstowe School, and some excitlng additions and expansions of the work too. Firstly, In January, we launched primary school chaplaincy at the Federation of Falrfield and Colneis Schools, after an extended period of consultation with the headteacher and the wider team at the school, Chaplaincy launched with much public support and has been developed over three lunchtimes a week at the Colneis slte, with addltlonal chaplaincy presence at other schoo5 events. We were dellghted to welcome Julie to the team as a volunteer to develop this new work, alongside her studies in Contemporary Chaplaincy with Waverley Abbey. We are dellghted with the early successes of this partnership and the benefits already being recogni5ed in students and staff. Secondly, we were fortunate to be selected as one of the Mayor of Felixstowe's chosen charltles from Mav 2023 to May 2024. This involved a number of additional events and commitments throughout the year for the trustee team, but resulted in both a large fundraising total, and many new connectlons wlth Felixstowe Town Council, the other charitles, and the local Felixstowe community. The continuatlon of chaplaincy at Felixstowe School saw no new additions to the work, Instead a focus on Improving the effectlveness of chaplalncy in every area. A brief summary of achievements Is included below under the three categories of our work. Awe and Wonder We continued to provlde hlgh quallty and engaging assemblies at Chrlstmas, Easter, Remembrance and other key moments throughout the year to the school community. Our chaplain facilitated the Reflection Room as a safe and special place for contemplation, prayer and reflectlon, open daily to students of all falths and none. We continued to provide three extra-curricular clubs throughout the year, all attracting record number5 of students. Chess Club and Garden Club each recorded around 100 registered members, Theology Club seeing 34. The Theology Club was spllt Into a Key Stage 3 group and a Key Stage 4 group to improve the student experlence In these sessions, run with a local volunteer, Trips were organised to a local church for a Chrlstmas and Easter seniice, the Palace of Westminster for the Student Parliament Groupi and a Model UN conference for the Scholars group. Justice and Activism The Garden Project received the highest award of the School Gardening Awards (Level 51 from the Royal Horticultural Society, and continued to be successful in achieving small pots of funding to allow for the purchase of materials and resources. The whole of the Year 7 cohort were engaged in the Garden Project during the school's health and wellbeing day in the Spring Term. Our chaplain enabled the meeting and running of the school's Student Parliament and the Active Travel Ambassador group, working on a range of projects throughout the year. A school-wide Mock Election was organised by the chaplain alongside the General Election, engaging students in the political process as they formed partles and campaigned for votes from the student body.
