The company was incorporated on 23 July 2003 under the Companies Act 1985 as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association.

On 1 August 2003 the net assets of the unincorporated charity 'Leeds Faith in Schools’ were transferred to the company. The transfer was in accordance with the unincorporated charity's constitution and a resolution to transfer the funds had been signed by the trustees.

During the following year the company applied for charitable status and on 24th September 2004 the charity became registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. All the directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. The trustees who served during the year under review and to date are set out on page 1. Under the articles of association at the AGM one third of the directors, who are subject to retirement by rotation, shall retire from office. They are eligible for re-appointment.

The trustee body comprises practising Christians from a wide breadth of Church traditions. The organisation is non-denominational. The skill base of the trustee body is regularly reviewed. Where a need for additional skills is identified, recruitment is undertaken on an informal basis via the Christian community in Leeds. Prospective trustees are interviewed at a trustees meeting. An induction pack is available to new trustees highlighting their responsibilities for the organisation.

The trustees meet bi-monthly to review the activities of the organisation. All trustees give their time voluntarily. Any expenses reclaimed by trustees from the charity are set out in note 20 to the accounts.

The trustees have implemented a risk management strategy which comprises:

• An annual review of the risks which the charity may face;

• The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified; and

• • The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any of those risks materialise.

The trustees ensure compliance with the charity's obligation under company and charity law and set/monitor the salaries and the contract/working conditions of the employees.

Trustees indemnity insurance

There is no trustee indemnity insurance in place at the time of this report.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are for the benefit of young people in Leeds and the surrounding areas:

1. To advance education 2. To provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving their conditions of life. The objects shall be pursued in accordance with the Christian Principles set out in the Statement of Faith in the schedule to the articles of Association

PRIMARY ACTIVITIES

Leeds Faith in Schools operates under the mission statement: "Good News to the young people in the High Schools of Leeds.” We believe that partnering with school senior leaders, staff, and young people is the most effective way to achieve our charitable purposes. Our model involves individual youth and school’s workers delivering a wide range of activities in schools and other community venues. This

approach allows us to remain a flexible and professional resource, providing the local church with an effective way to care for and invest in the lives of young people in Leeds.

Our school’s workers contribute to many areas of school life, including:

• @ Pastoral: Supporting young people to live their lives in fullness (John 10:10), through the provision of targeted support for young people facing the storms of life our team facilitate 1 to 1 mentoring, group mentoring such as boys and girls self-esteem groups and many other supportive activities. Such support addresses a wide range of issues from self-esteem, anger management, friendships and relationship through to more challenging needs such as selfharm, suicidal ideation and family breakdown.

• @ Educational: We contribute to schools' SMSC (spiritual, moral, social, and cultural) development and enhancing the spiritual growth of young people. Through engaging lessons, assemblies and prayer experiences we work to bring important topics and faith to life. Working in close partnership with RS teams in school and bringing a personal perspective to key parts of the curriculum we hope to engage young people in the consideration of life’s big questions. We also contribute to the PSHCE programmes, bringing a faith perspective to key global issues and helping young people to reflect on and wrestle with their global value.

• ® Recreational: In recognition of the importance of belonging and community, our team work to create safe places for all young people to feel part of something bigger than themselves. These take various forms including fun youth group style lunch clubs, Christian Union groups looking to support young people in their faith and after school community-based youth groups.

• @ Other: Crucially rather than the delivery of a fixed ‘product’ of ‘programme’ we seek to work responsively with our school partners, providing support where it is needed and developing new resources and initiatives in response to these needs. This has included leading year group retreats, faith centric school residential weekends and local school pilgrimages.

In addition to our work in schools, we work proactively to support local church and community partners to ensure young people have open and caring spaces to belong. Working with youth groups and organisations across the city we have supported a number of expressions of youth work. We are committed to developing local expressions of Christian youth ministry especially our growing ‘drop in’ youth work model which is operates in a number of locations across the city.

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's purpose and vision and in deciding which activities the Charity should undertake. All our activities focus on our key aim of being Good News to the High Schools in Leeds. Our schools and youth workers are valued and respected members of various churches and the school communities where they provide support, undertaking our activities to further our charitable purpose for the public benefit.

Volunteers

We are grateful for the support the charity receives from a team of volunteers who faithfully help our local drop-in groups becomea fruitful space for young people to connect with each other and the local Christian community. Some volunteers also provide supportive work in their local schools. During the coming year we hope to grow the volunteer team to increase our capacity to access to support as many schools as possible.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds at a level to ensure that operating costs can be met for a reasonable period of time. Accordingly, the Trustees have expressed their desire to hold reserves representing between 3 and 6 months’ operating costs in general funds This approximates to £54,800 to £109,600. At 31 December 2025 the balance on general funds was £23,969 (2024: £19,906) which is well below the target range. The trustees have developed strategies and set budgets for the next few years that give a reasonable expectation of growth in reserves, aiming to reach the required range by 2028.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

We have continued to see exciting and sustained growth across our work during 2024/25. During this time period we welcomed two new team members further increasing our capacity to support new schools and broadening our work in our existing partner schools.

Despite starting the year with limited staff capacity we were able to commence work in a new partner school. Starting with just half a day in school each week we were greatly encouraged to see that work grow to a full day by the new year, and further still to 2 days by the end of the school year. We're excited as our time and capacity in this school increases to widen our support to include both educational input and community youth work through the forming of a new drop in group. In total our team supported 9 schools through weekly, consistent supportive work. Providing a total of 643 individual days of schools work our team continued to be a consistent and credible presence in the schools of our city. We continued to play an active part in bringing the Christian faith to life through our educational programmes in school. With 143 lessons and assemblies delivered through the year we have had the privilege of sharing the Christian faith directly with over 6,556 students in this aspect of our work alone. In addition to traditional lessons we were also privileged to be invited to lead year group retreats for students in two of our partner schools along with whole year group prayer and reflection experiences at a number of key points through the school year.

We have continued to see keen appetite from additional schools to engage with our team supporting a number of non partner schools in an ad hoc capacity through lessons, retreat day facilitation and one off sessions. As we look to the year ahead we are working with school leaders, wider partners, and churches to establish the capacity to grow into these new opportunities with a number of key schools targeted for new work through the year ahead.

Our pastoral support continues to play a key part in our partner schools’ support for their students with over 2,500 1 to 1 mentoring sessions and 106 group mentoring sessions provided to our schools. These key supportive activities have enabled students to feel heard, supported and encouraged to live life to the fullest, in spite of circumstance, challenge or hardship. Through our relationship led approach we continue to see young people develop meaningful, trusted relationships with our team which enable lasting and significant change. It continues to be a profound privilege to be invited into the lives of our city’s young people in this way.

Our programme of community led drop in youth work continues to thrive. We have seen weekly attendance rise across both the groups we lead directly and those we support led by wider partners. Through the year our team facilitated over 120 drop in sessions with an average weekly attendance of over 100 young people across the city. We also continued to provide safe spaces within school for lunchtime fun through our rock solid groups and spiritual support through our christian union groups. With nearly 90 young people attending our lunch clubs and christian unions weekly we supported 219 sessions through this academic year.

We continue to maintain strong relationships with our church partners, working through the year to share the story of our work and to advocate for and give voice to the experiences of young people in our city. We continue to see a church passionate about young people keen to support and connect with this emerging generation. We have also continued to find community, support and encouragement through our connection to wider networks such as the Leeds youth leaders network. We were privileged this year to formally join the Leeds Learning Alliance as a supporter project. This network of organisations and individuals committed to restorative practice, inclusive education and peace centric nurturing of young people has already proven to be a significant partner in strengthening the leadership scope and vision of LFIS.

As we reflect back on all that our team has achieved through the school year we find ourselves in a strong position, postured for growth and continuing to maintain our reputation as a trusted and welcome partner across the schools of Leeds. We look forward to all that the year ahead might hold as we seek to strengthen our team’s structure and resulting capacity for growth.

Governance and Staffing Changes

Throughout the year we continued to work to grow our board of trustees, looking for people with the capacity and skills to enable our work to thrive, and this will continue in the future as we work to address specific skill gaps. In May we welcomed Helen Bolton to the board, bringing experience as a Chartered Accountant specialising in the charity sector. In August we said goodbye to Naomi GriffithsLittlechild who has served us well for several years as a Trustee.

During the year we welcomed Beccy Pont to the staff team and she has enabled us to increase the capacity for schools work as well as releasing Ben Cordy to focus more on grant applications, donor engagement and long term strategy for the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results for the year and the Charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.

Income for the general running of the Charity during the period continues to come primarily from partnership contributions from Schools, donations from churches and individuals and grants. Income to general funds increased by 16.6%, mainly from an increase in contributions from partner schools. There were increases in donations from individuals but donations from churches fell. Restricted funds income related to some specific grants to cover equipment costs.

Expenditure consists of salaries and expenses of the employees, support costs and office costs. Costs increased by 14% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the expansion of the staff team. Costs are generally well controlled.

The overall result was a £4.063 surplus on general funds and £600 on restricted funds.

Transactions and Financial position

Voluntary income, including Gift Aid where appropriate, for the year amounted to £99,772 (2024 - £93,241), with donations of £82,672 (2024 - £73,541) and grant funding totalling £17,500 (2024 - £9,700). Charitable activities including partnership contributions from schools generated £105,752 (2024 - £77,812). Fundraising income amounted to £172 (2024 - £5,090) and investment income from bank deposits generated £1,121 (2024 - £695) Total income for the Charity was £206,817 (2024 -

Significant events that have affected financial performance and financial position during the period

There were no significant events that influenced this year's financial performance.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees recognise that the charity is securely established in its procedures and is highly regarded by the schools and churches of Leeds. They will work with the staff team to continue to expand the number of schools they serve to the benefit of more young people. This will only be possible if the income base can be strengthened and so a key priority for 2025-6 is to continue to develop partnerships across the city and particularly alongside churches in the communities around the schools, encouraging both practical and financial support.

The trustees recognise that we operate in a challenging financial environment and will continue to contain costs whilst seeking new sources of funding.

STATEMENT OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES (DIRECTORS)

The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the board of trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• e@ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• e prepare the financial statements on a ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business;

• e state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The trustees are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with the regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Report of the trustees, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to that report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face things, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales.

1. Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Leeds Faith in Schools constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgemenis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. There are no key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
