BOOST FELIXSTOWE LIMITED Trustees Annual Report
Administrative Details of the Charity:
Boost 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 complement those already offered by local churches and engage with local senior schools. The Charity has developed over the years and now provides chaplaincy services to local schools.
Structure, Governance and Management:
This is a small charity managed by the Trustees who have a variety of professional 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 charity. Boost employs a chaplain to deliver the work of School Chaplaincy within Felixstowe School, a secondary school and sixth form with Academy status. The chaplain is line managed by an appointed trustee, and other workers/volunteers report to the chaplain as appropriate. The chaplain 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.
Financial Policy:
The charity's financial position is laid out in the accompanying accounts. There are no overdraft facilities in place and therefore outgoings are managed in line with income received. The Trust is supported by regular monthly giving from supporters and income is supplemented with grants and fund-raising activities. The Reserves policy agreed by the Trustees is to keep at least 3 months of outgoings available. There are no funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others.
The work of the Trust continues to be dependent on the financial support of the local churches and many individual supporters who give 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 raising events.
Financial Review:
Most of the funding is expended on the salary and employment costs of the Chaplain. Our General Fund income for this financial year was £29,812 and expenditure £29,103 giving us an excess of income over expenditure of £709, We were able to carry forward £22,824 which equates to approximately 78% of annual running costs.
Funding by regular supporters has continued at its normal level. Most of the giving has attracted Gift Aid. We have continued to see the increase in online giving made through our web site. We received a grant from the Benefact Trust of £3,300.
The Rotary Club of Felixstowe grant continues to enable the students specifically for welfare support for school meals, breakfast club funding and school uniform support.
Public benefit:
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The charity is supporting young people in Felixstowe with the provision of chaplain/s operating within Felixstowe School.

Achievements and performance:
This year has been a good year for chaplaincy in Felixstowe schools and our relationships with the wider community. Our primary chaplaincy has established well since launching last year, and a round of student feedback provided very positive results. Students were enthusiastic about the positive impact of chaplaincy, noting that the chaplain was someone they could speak to, someone they could trust, and someone who could help them navigate problems. Regular meetings with the Headteacher have ensured this project is meeting the needs of the school in its early days.
Our chaplaincy at Felixstowe School has reduced from five to three days per week this year. Our chaplain was appointed to a two day a week role with the Church of England to develop chaplaincy nationally. The work at Felixstowe School has continued, with pastoral support streamlined to focus on bereavement support as well as mentoring for vulnerable young people. Clubs continued to be popular and create safe spaces in the school day for students to take part in a range of activities with friends in a supportive environment. The delivery of assemblies continues at key moments throughout the year.
We began the academic year with a Ten Year Celebration of chaplaincy at Felixstowe School. This was well attended, and involved staff, students, churches and the local community. We are grateful for the support of all who have encouraged and supported us through the past ten years. We continue to encourage churches and individuals to engage with this work and share stories and updates wherever possible.
This year we also published a number of resources, including Griefland (a bereavement support resource) and SWITCH (a hateful language intervention). Both have been purchased online by schools and other groups and are used with young people beyond our own work in Felixstowe which is encouraging. We have also delivered training on Chaplaincy and School Gardening for the Centre for Chaplaincy in Education which was well received.
Future Plans:
BOOST continues to model the best possible example of School Chaplaincy and seeks to inspire other schools to develop similar provision for the benefit of the young people in their care and the wider community. We continue to host visits from other chaplains, and those interested in chaplaincy to enthuse others about this special schools-based work.

Independent Examiner's Report
Report to the trustees of BOOST Felixstowe Limited On accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025, set out on pages 7 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
e examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
¢ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
e tostate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- e accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or ® the accounts do not accord with the accounting records | have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
