# **Ivybridge Youth for Christ Annual Report September 2020 - August 2021** ## **Chair’s Report for Ivybridge Youth For Christ** This was another challenging year due to the Pandemic and the ensuing government regulations. Detached working outside in all weathers meant we could link with limited young people, but contact was improved once we could use the Youth Venue more fully. Schools and clubs work had to be adapted to online and also delivering of craft packs for appropriate teaching themes. We thank the headteachers for their willingness to be flexible and work with us for the spiritual benefit of their pupils. _Kate Duckering Chair_ ## **Director’s Report for Ivybridge Youth for Christ** With the Covid 19 pandemic still in full swing, it’s been another VERY unusual year for Ivybridge Youth for Christ! As you will see from this report we have had to continue to adapt and alter how we work and seem to have spent a lot of time updating Covid 19 risk assessments! However, it’s been a pleasure to continue to work with the young people of Ivybridge and the surrounding area. We trust that the work that has taken place over this historic time has been of great benefit to them in _reducing loneliness, isolation, worry, and boredom, as well as encouraging them on their journey on or towards faith!_ ## **Ivybridge Community College C.U.’s (ICC)** ## **- ’ Rock Solid Online (Year 7 9 s) and Orbit Online (Year 10+)** The ongoing pandemic meant that during the whole academic year there was no access to ICC for visitors. Rock Solid has therefore been a bit different! To give young people the opportunity to engage, Rock Solid Online started as a separate club to the school during the Autumn Term. The group consisted of 2 of the lads from the Spring Term of 2019-20 at Rock Solid, as well as 4 young people who came via connections in Modbury. Following lots of _teaching about the faith, many games and laughter_ , the term ended with us delivering Christmas cards and prizes that had been earned. The sessions continued through Lockdown 3 in Spring 2021 with topics such as Thankfulness, Music, Opinions, Who is Jesus? Suffering, Self-care, Anger and Easter. **Rock Solid Online Game** At Easter, it was a joy to hand-deliver prizes and chocolate on Good Friday. Each package contained a holding cross with appropriate Scriptures. These were a gift from one of our volunteers. During the Summer Term, we continued to meet on Zoom and covered topics such as Moses parting the Red Sea, God is King, Materialism, Bullying, Drawing near to God, and Give and Take (Looking Outwards). Towards the end of the year, numbers dropped off (which is usual even without the pandemic) due to the good weather. This has been especially acute as Zoom calls during hot weather are not the most appealing and they also had the opportunity to engage with after-school sports for the first time since the Pandemic started. There was a steady committed membership of 5 and we were _grateful for the support of our volunteers;_ Jane, who also regularly helps at Shine, and Phil the Ivybridge Methodist Church youth worker. We look now to academic year 2021-22 and are hopeful that we might be able to return to the ICC to run the clubs in person. Orbit (for older school members) has not met this academic year. This is due to them all being connected with their local churches and visitors not being allowed into school. However, I remained mindful of the members and in the Spring, I promoted Scattered, a partnership between British Youth for Christ and Festive which was an online faith-sharing event for that age group. We will keep these young people in mind, should the opportunity arise to return to going into ICC. ## **Connecting Christian youth who live in local villages** The Christian youth groups in areas such as Modbury and South Brent are small and could benefit from coming together occasionally for mutual support and fun. With relationships building with vicars in the area, we have started looking for ways to connect the youth together. Plans are at an early stage, but it could be possible that something is in place in time for this Autumn which is really exciting. ## **The Bridge Project** ## **- South Brent (Thursday evenings 7 8.30pm)** It’s also been a year of constant adaptation for The Bridge Project in South Brent. We were able to continue outside the bus at South Brent Rec until October half-term and were thrilled to be seeing many of our regulars. Once the 2[nd] Lockdown hit, we were _determined to continue to keep_ . _reaching young people_ Following National Youth Agency guidelines, we undertook detached work around the village. This proved valuable in building relationships and supporting young people; we engaged with around 11 of them. In Lockdown 3, from January onwards, we continued detached work, weather permitting, and saw fewer numbers some weeks and up to 20 on others. We promoted 1-1 help, support bubbles and Rock Solid online. We have also had some good conversations with local adults and parents about what we do. **Detached work in South Brent** It was great that restrictions eased as the year wore on and we were able to return to meeting outside the bus at The Rec. The weather gradually improved, and attendance rose. We welcomed a few newcomers, a few we hadn’t seen in a long time, and a group of about 30 who have been coming on and off for the last two and a half years. The work is never easy and, sadly, we had incidents of disrespectful behaviour shown towards us, our property and towards other youth by a minority of young people. On one occasion, we had to leave the location early. We had a group conversation with the regulars to clear the air and to explain our position on showing respect. _We hope and trust that the regular example from the staff and volunteers, challenges their behaviour and shows them another way to act._ The year in South Brent has been particularly challenging from a volunteer point of view. We are extremely grateful to Margaret, who has been out regularly throughout this year. We were also joined on occasion by Harry, a young South West Youth Ministries (SWYM) intern. Many of our other volunteers needed to shield. _42 weeks of outreach have taken place which is remarkable_ considering the year everyone has been through. The Bridge Project South Brent took a much-needed break for the months of July and August. We look forward to re-engaging in September, hopefully with the bus able to be used to its max with young people able to come back onboard. This will open up the chance for more engagement and the opportunity to chat over a board game or two. Throughout the year, we have maintained conversations with church leaders and members of St. Petroc’s, South Brent to look at the future strategy and vision for youth and children’s ministry in the area. We continue to maintain the bus so that it is safe to use. This includes an annual MOT as well as regular servicing. We are grateful to Tally Ho! Coaches at Kingsbridge who do this for us. ## **The Bridge Project Ivybridge (Friday evenings)** The Bridge Project in Ivybridge has changed dramatically this year and not just because of the pandemic! We started as usual with the bus at the skatepark. We continued to be visited by around 15-20 young people per week in Ivybridge which was fantastic. **The Youth Venue in Ivybridge** In the Autumn, _the Youth Venue opened_ , and The Bridge Project moved in. This is a building we are using in partnership with Ivybridge Salvation Army. They are managing it and running it as a community drop-in facility/café during the day. The signage on the building includes our name and logo and is giving us a much higher profile in the town. It was exciting to move into the youth venue. There is table tennis, table football, Xbox and games as well as the usual drinks and biscuits. It lasted 4 weeks before the 2[nd] Lockdown! During the 2[nd] Lockdown we were able to adapt to detached youth work which the regulations allowed. This proved valuable in ensuring that _vulnerable youth were being offered support_ should they have needed it and for promoting the recent move to the venue. In the leadup to Christmas, after the 2[nd] Lockdown, we were able to meet on 3 more occasions inside The Bridge venue, but with the virus case numbers rising, we decided to finish a week early to prevent a situation of volunteers having to self-isolate over the Christmas period. During the third national Lockdown (which started in January 2021), we returned to detached youth work and engaged with anything from low numbers to up to an average of 22 young people as the weather improved and the Government’s roadmap announcement was made. We encouraged young people to stay socially distanced from each other and highlighted that we are available to help them on a 1-1 level or in support groups should they be struggling. It was evident that undertaking this detached work had clear _public benefit by encouraging young people to act in a responsible manner._ Regulations were constantly changing, and it meant a short return to the skatepark with the bus from 29[th] March, offering drinks outside the bus at this point. 2 weeks later, the venue reopened and has remained open ever since. Our average attendance has been 21 young people per night with a mixture of older regulars, younger newcomers and young people even attending from South Brent. We’ve had 37 different girls and 53 different boys in attendance. We received a useful box of equipment from Space (a Devon wide youth charity) to help with keeping The Bridge venue Covid-19 safe. Covid 19 regulations had one twist that caused problems for lots of youth groups across the country. For a long time, we were not allowed to mix those who were 18+ with under 18’s even if the 18+’s were still at school in Year 13. Thankfully this rule eased mid-July, and this made managing the venue much easier. While it was a rule, we had set up a table outside for the older ones, so that _all felt welcome_ . At this point, we were supporting a young woman who was about to give birth. One supporter kindly gave her a bag of goodies to welcome the baby into the world. Some of our regular Year 11’s asked questions about our faith and so we offered an Alpha course in partnership with the Methodist Church. They didn’t take up the offer, but I still have regular chats with them and hope to provide more social and faith exploring opportunities in the future. Another idea that we tried was to open the venue up to watch the Euro 2020 (actually 2021) football tournament with young people. Despite saying that they were keen to come, they didn’t! As we adapt to using the venue, we will gradually learn what sort of activities the young people are keen to pursue. As the academic year ended, our average attendance was increasing with up to 23 young people per night. The work of building and maintaining relationships is going well and gradually we are seeing more of our volunteers return to serve in this ministry. There is always a need for more volunteers and recruitment has been happening over the summer. We are grateful to the team who have enabled this work to continue throughout the year in its various forms. ## **18+ group from The Bridge Project** From autumn until early summer, Helen and I continued to meet with up to 3 young people from this age group. We were even able to celebrate one of their birthdays at the Youth Venue. We were able to continue this work, face-to-face during both Lockdowns, if we deemed that they were vulnerable. The Government left this decision to professional judgement and asked youth workers not to abuse it. Some meetings were face-toface in cafes, and some were online. Another strange twist of the pandemic is that we got to know what their ceilings looked like, as they didn’t always like to have their cameras pointed at their faces. This is quite typical for young people. ## **18+ Online Youth Work** Following a parent referral, I also spent some time supporting a young man in need and this was done via walks – again allowed within the Covid guidelines. I believe that the contact with all of those in the 18+ category has been important to help _reduce their sense of isolation and loneliness_ . A Cinnamon Trust ‘Caring for Young People’s Mental Health’ webinar was very helpful in looking at ways of developing this work. ## **Primary school assemblies** Contact with primary schools remains important. Often at The Bridge Project young people will _recall assemblies from their younger days_ led by Ivybridge Youth for Christ. I was pleased therefore, to lead collective worship via Zoom for Cornwood Primary in June. I used flags of countries in Euro 2020 that had crosses on them to share the gospel. ## **Shine Newton Ferrers** We were very excited at the start of the new academic year (following school closures the previous year) to be able to restart Shine at Newton Ferrers Primary School, not just once a week, but twice – to cover the newly formed ‘bubbles’ of year groups. Years 5 & 6 on Wednesday afterschool and Years 3 & 4 on Friday after-school. However, the main proviso was that clubs had to take place outside under a cover due to Covid restrictions!! _It was damp and cold and sometimes the colourings blew away!_ But it was great to be able to continue to meet and introduce the children to the good news of Jesus. Both groups were provided with a book ‘Diary of a Disciple’ which contains Bible stories and puzzles. This is being used as the basis for the year. The Year 5/6 club was unusual in that it was dominated by boys including some who had not been for a while prior to Lockdown. Behaviour was, at times, challenging, but we _hope and trust that what we do and say will have a lasting impact on their lives_ . The Year 3 and 4 club had a few new faces and all members were very keen! We also had a new team of volunteers, as our usual team were not available due to Covid 19. We are grateful to those who stepped in at this time. The outdoor clubs ran until October half-term when, with cases rising and Lockdown 2 looming, the school cancelled their after-school clubs. They weren’t able to restart until late April. Through the whole pandemic Ivybridge Youth for Christ has endeavoured to maintain contact with the children and youth as much as possible, and in creative ways. So, at Christmas, Helen and Harry (volunteer) delivered packs for the children, with a Bible Society book, (kindly donated by a supporter), card, chocolate and some crafts. It was a special time as we were allowed to have a _surprise short visit in the hall_ to chat with the children and give out the packs. Helen later saw one of the mums in public and she told her how surprised she had been when her son got home from school and immediately sat at the table doing something. When she investigated, he was completing the crafts from the pack! **February half-term packs** Packs were delivered before February half-term containing animal sweets and an animal craft. There was a challenge to look for the good things God has created. Prior to Easter, packs containing a chocolate egg, a Christian Easter book from the Bible Society (donated by a kind supporter) and a craft were delivered. Children were back in school following Lockdown 3 by this point, and Helen was once again allowed into the hall to deliver them. Permission to restart clubs was granted at the end of April. All the original volunteers were happy to return to face-to-face clubs and the new vicar, Rev Kim Lovell, was also keen to help. It was great that the clubs could now be indoors and, as time went on, we didn’t have to wear face coverings, and it felt like a _piece of normality returned_ (except for the constant hand-gel) **Craft at Shine Newton Ferrers Game at Shine Newton Ferrers** It's great when there are encouraging moments, and a few popped up at this time: One of the lads told us he has a door at home with all of his crafts from Shine on it. This was surprising! A TA told us that her children, now teenagers, still look back with very happy memories of their time at Shine in Holbeton. Also, when recapping the stories that members had looked at throughout this academic year, the children had good recollection. Year 6 members asked if all the bubble could come to their leavers’ party. Given that the year had been so disrupted by Lockdowns this was a _heartwarming moment_ . They played games including the customary game of Pie Face, which had to be adapted once again to be Covid-secure. They had a plate each with cream on, and the leaders pied them rather than the machine doing the job! **Shine Leavers’ Party – before they were ‘pied’!** ## **Shine Holbeton** It was a joy that Shine Holbeton (KS2) also restarted in the Autumn following many months off due to the pandemic. Helen was amazed to have all the regulars back, as well as some new members. This totalled 10 children (from a school of around 40) which was very encouraging. Again, there was encouragement as some of the children _talked with excitement about the crafts that had been delivered_ during the first Lockdown and how they were on their fridge. In contrast to Newton Ferrers, Holbeton allowed the group to continue throughout the second Lockdown, when schools remained open. We worked in well-ventilated rooms and, after half-term, we wore face coverings. The same resource covering the life of Jesus through Luke’s eyes was used: Diary of a Disciple. It’s colouring pages and puzzles were greatly enjoyed by the children. **Holbeton Shine Christmas Craft** With schools closed in Lockdown 3 to all but key worker children, sadly Shine Holbeton had to take a break. Thankfully, we were able to deliver packs for the children to enjoy during half-term. These were of the same nature as the ones for Newton Ferrers. As Lockdown eased, Helen was able to restart Shine Holbeton just prior to Easter. The Easter special was fantastic, and the books and eggs were distributed, and the crafts done whilst in the club. There were 2 new members, both new to the school, which appears to be growing quickly. The final term ran smoothly and there were wonderful times of craft, games and bible stories. At our last one of the year, we recapped a lot of the stories and the _children remembered many of the details which shows that the teaching had sunk in._ ## **JAM** It was fantastic that JAM youth discipleship group for years 6+ was able to restart in September on Sunday evenings in the church, and in person too. This was the case for just 3 sessions! We had some new volunteers and a Covid-19 risk assessment in place. ## **Activities based on the Bible** The 3rd session was really encouraging. Helen had prepared a craft that incorporated a Bible verse and an idea that followed a challenging sermon she had heard. The young people loved it. However, she was informed just before the group started, that a young lad was coming who hadn’t been regularly. The craft was based on hearts. Helen felt, knowing the lad, that he wouldn’t want to do it. She felt inspired to ask her volunteer for that night, Rev Joe Lannon, to work with him to develop a beat that they could speak (not sing!!!) the Bible verse to. Joe brought along his guitar and the young person beat upon a cajon (box drum). He really enjoyed the session and the other youth listened to the beat with the words from the Bible verse. One said: _“It gets into you”,_ which was the whole purpose of creatively working on the Bible. JAM moved online immediately with Lockdown 2, and this continued until the Christmas special. Online, we did various topics related to ‘giving’ and in one session the young people were challenged to rewrite the Christmas story in 20 words. An example: “ _Mary told she was pregnant, went to Bethlehem. wise men saw star, followed, said hi and gave him memorable presents”._ The final session of JAM prior to Christmas was in person. We were joined by Rev Kim Lovell, who started in her position as vicar in November. The session was based on an Escape Room resource and included a Christmas bauble craft. Helen was pleased to continue meeting one member to go through ‘swap journals’, a form of mentoring. They met in cafes for safeguarding purposes. At Christmas, after a drink and a catch-up, they walked around Ivybridge to find angels that had been hidden by the Methodist Church. It was a good time to meet as the young person was anxious about a trip to hospital in Bristol that week. After Christmas came Lockdown 3 and the inevitable return to online JAM with our regular Zoom participants. We looked at Jesus’ miracles through various interactive activities such as Aha Slides and we were joined by Helen’s bridesmaid for the Wedding in Cana week. She shared testimony of God’s provision in her life. The country stayed locked down for quite a while so, to maintain contact prior to half-term, Helen delivered craft packs, sweets and a stress ball to each member of JAM, including to those who don’t meet online. This enabled her to catch up with a few parents, as well as to briefly see some of the young people in person. Valentine’s Day JAM on Zoom saw the group make the heart craft that had been delivered. The pack also included a cake kit for the 3 online members. We baked ‘Minions’ buns at a half-term session on Zoom that was based around having fun and ‘life in all its fulness (John 10:10). There was a real _Godincidence_ when one member wore a Christian hoodie that she hadn’t worn for ages – with John 10:10, (the same verse that we were looking at) on it. Thankfully after the long gap JAM restarted in person after Easter. The young people were pleased to be back in person and were able to _ask much deeper questions_ than when they were online. We were so excited to finally run a trip in June. We went Tubing at Plymouth Ski Centre. The girls who came really enjoyed it, as did the leaders! This was the first time we had seen young people with _really excited, happy, laughing faces_ in a long time. **Tubing Trip for JAM** The final session was a welcome party for current Year 5&6s. Two young people from Shine Newton Ferrers came. ## **Ivybridge Churches Working Together** This year saw great unity through the Ivybridge Leaders’ Prayer Meeting. This met both online and in person at The Bridge. It is a highly encouraging meeting with leaders from Ivybridge Methodist Church, Ivybridge Salvation Army Church, Ivybridge Baptist Church and the new vicar from St John’s Anglican Church. It is a _source of support for us all_ , as well as a forum for making united plans for events which arise from these meetings: _Drive in Carol Service:_ The Ivybridge church and ministry leaders organised a drive-in carol service at Tesco Lee Mill in December. It was a great success with 150 cars in attendance and coverage on BBC Spotlight. I provided the Ivybridge Youth for Christ bus as a base for the first aid crew and organized 4 young people to do the Bible readings. _Ivybridge Nativity Trail:_ Again, with the churches, we worked hard to order items for 400 packs for the nativity trail. It included a Hope magazine, a Bible Society Children’s Christmas book, a wooden decoration to colour, along with some pens. Take-up for the trail was low as the weather that week was terribly wet. However, _some hardy families were spotted giving it a go_ and received their packs. It is hoped the remaining packs can be used another year. _Services on Zoom:_ Town-wide unity services were held monthly on Zoom from Spring onwards and I was privileged to lead one of these, bringing the sermon and highlighting the work of Ivybridge Youth for Christ for those who might not be aware of the charity. In June, I led half of the service as we prayed specifically for Ivybridge Community College. As the year ended, we said goodbye to Mark and Carolyn Lawrence from Ivybridge Methodist Church, who are moving onto pastures new. We are grateful for Mark’s support through his membership of the Council of Reference. We look forward to working with his replacement, Rev. Amanda Roper, when she starts in September. ## **Fundraising** Fundraising events remained a challenge during Lockdowns as restrictions curtailed in-person events and, after a while, Zoom-fatigue hit. We postponed our Autumn Bake Sale and Garden Equipment Sale to a more suitable time. In December, we held another online quiz (raising £185 plus gift aid). We are grateful to our volunteer, Matt Hill for hosting this. By Spring, another quiz didn’t gain enough interest and so other ideas were needed. A Temple Spa Pampering Evening was that new idea, brought to us in Spring by Natalie, our new Trustee. This reached different people from around the country as it took place on Zoom. It was a relaxing evening as we used, under Natalie’s instruction, pampering products that she has sent out prior to the event. It raised £278 plus gift aid. In the summer, we launched a Coffee, Chat & Cake Campaign, but it didn’t bear any fruit with people still anxious about socialising. Alongside events, I spent time applying for grants from the UK Youth Covid Fund and the DCMS Covid Fund Support. Both were unsuccessful. I continue to look at funding ideas and this is helped by National Youth for Christ’s Partnership Development meetings which give ideas on how best to approach the area of fundraising. We have been very grateful to a supporter, Andrew Ferguson, who has _worked tirelessly_ to gain support from churches and funds towards The Bridge Project in South Brent. We have also been _buoyed by the donations of our faithful supporters_ and so end the year in a confident place financially. ## **Prayer** It has been a pleasure to continue our IYFC Zoom prayer meetings every Wednesday morning with a few new faces joining in this year. Another great source of encouragement and support arose following the Churches Together in Plymouth (CTiP) Transormation Conference in November. After leading a short seminar for youth leaders at the conference, I instigated a youth leader prayer and ideas exchange meeting every Friday morning over Zoom. We have seen some _great answers to prayer as well as great ideas for how to reach young people_ . Up to 8 local Ivybridge and Plymouth youth workers attend. National Youth for Christ held their Day of Prayer at the end of April to launch the ‘Pray through May’ campaign. Several staff and Trustees were able to ‘attend’ and it was good to join the wider Youth for Christ family in prayer. ## **Trustees** Longstanding Trustee Min decided to step back to pursue other ministry callings in September. We are _thrilled that Min remains on the team_ for The Bridge Project. We are grateful for all the contributions she made as Trustee. Helen and I organised the Trustee Christmas Social over Zoom in December. We subjected the Trustees to games that we often play online with young people like ‘bring me’. _We ‘think’ they enjoyed it!_ This was a great opportunity to introduce Natalie Dugdall to the team. Natalie officially started as a Trustee in January. Helen, Kate and I attended the second part of Youth for Christ Conference which was held for a whole day over Zoom. There they revealed their new strategy in which they hope to engage more with local churches and also focus on several large cities. A short AGM was held online; there was a reasonable attendance considering Zoom fatigue was well and truly hitting society by this stage! The trustees also held their annual away day online due to restrictions. We are very grateful to Sophie Hill who supports the trustees, _working hard to keep on top of the finances_ . ## **Pastoral Support for Staff** Helen continues to meet monthly with Sara Bromage for pastoral support. Helen is immensely grateful for this. Sara _understands the ebbs and flows of Christian ministry_ and is able to give Helen ideas of how to look after herself with all the constant changes and demands that have happened throughout the pandemic and continue to happen. Elis continues to meet monthly with Rev.Dave Martin which he is also grateful for. ## **Networking** _Churches Together in Plymouth (CTiP):_ I have served on the Enabling Group for CTIP for a number of years (since I led The Net, a youth worship event in Plymouth). However, in view of the launch of Plymouth Youth for Christ, which is scheduled for September, I have decided it is time to hand on the baton and have stood down from this role. _Youth for Christ – South West Cluster_ : I continue to meet our Youth for Christ South West Cluster monthly (online), and also met online with others from around the British Youth for Christ network to discuss the latest lockdown transition towards greater detached ministry. _Pennywell Farm Breakfast Meetings:_ these meetings resumed on Thursday mornings in the Summer Term. They give local Christians a chance to share fellowship, sing, and listen to a message. Occasionally, I am invited to preach and speak about the work of IYFC. Many who go there have been tremendously supportive in terms of prayer for me personally, and some also give practical support to the work of IYFC. _Plymouth Children’s Ministry Network_ : I attended this meeting on occasion. This year I was able to support a worker from Hope Baptist Church, Plymouth with ideas. They had suddenly been given an additional youth worker role. ## **Website and Social Media** The website can now be found on Google, and we ended the year with over 200 Facebook followers. Many of these are non-Christians, or people that we do not actually know. ## **Training** One of the advantages of the Lockdowns has been that a lot of training (that we would not otherwise have been able to attend due to location or time), has moved online. During the course of the year, both Helen and I have benefited from these various opportunities. I have taken part in training sessions provided by National Youth for Christ – such as ‘ _Supporting Children and Young People with Emotional Trauma’_ and ‘ _Sports Evangelism’._ ‘ _Power the Fight’_ is an organisation that specialises in understanding youth violence. I was privileged to be able to take part in 4 sessions led by them which gave valuable insight into current youth culture and violence. The sessions included Gang Exit Strategies and working with local authorities. We were pleased to host a visit from British Youth for Christ’s Head of Schools Ministry, Bev Smith. As a consequence, I attended a 4-day _Chaplaincy course_ online in October. The skills learned could be useful for ministry at the Youth Venue in the short-term and potentially for schools work in the long-term. _SWYM Catalyst mentoring_ training was attended by Helen. Although the scheme looked interesting, sadly it didn’t really fit with where JAM was currently positioned. Having done the training, Helen is allowed to run the scheme at some point in the future, when the time is right. _Renew Normal Youthscape Conference:_ Helen attended 2 seminars at this conference, ‘Where did they go?’ looking at the low engagement with online youth ministry, and ‘Innovating in Your Post-Pandemic Youth Ministry’, looking at how we address this. _SWYM Reflect and Re-envision:_ Helen again had opportunity to be inspired at this local online conference. She went to several seminars, most notably, how to work with small numbers of youth which was useful. ## **Volunteers** Throughout the year we were joined by Harry Palmer-Brown, a local SWYM trainee with Ivybridge Methodist Church, who gained additional youth and children’s work experience for his SWYM training by being a volunteer with us. Harry has served at The Bridge Project, JAM, and all 3 Shines during the year. We hope he learned a lot, and we are grateful for the input he had. It was _very timely help_ , especially in the Autumn, when many of the regular Shine volunteers were shielding and unable to help. We wish Harry all the best as he moves onto a second year at a new placement – Oriel Ministries in Cornwall. Volunteers thank-you cream teas/Christmas parties were simply not possible this year and so we needed a creative way to thank the fantastic team of loyal and hard-working volunteers. Stones were decorated with a painting of Jesus in the manger and were delivered, along with a thank-you note. ## **Conclusion:** I would like to thank all our Trustees, volunteers and supporters who have prayed, worked, and stood firm with us during this most challenging of years. We’ve enjoyed (sometimes endured) the delights of Zoom and other online communication. We’ve said countless times, “You’re on mute!” to one another and had many an online meeting while still in our pyjama trousers. However, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and how we remained there for each other and for so many of the young people that we serve. We are so grateful to our financial supporters who have prioritised our mission and have given so sacrificially, sometimes even increasing their giving throughout these uncertain times of the pandemic. We give glory to God and look forward to all that He may do in us, and through us, in the coming year. _Elis Norton Director_ ## **Ivybridge Youth for Christ** ## **Statement of Financial Activities (Including Income and Expenditure Account) For the Year Ended 31 August 2021** ||**Unrestricted**||**Restricted**|
