2. Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document.

The organization is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10[th] January 2005 and registered as a charity on 25[th] April 2007. The company was established under a Declaration of Trust, which established the objects and powers of the Charity.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees.

Under Article 9 the Trustees are appointed by the existing Trustees. They have control of the Charity and its property and funds. On appointment and induction of new trustees, the Chair will provide the main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including:

3. Responsibilities of the Trustees

The Trustees have control of the Charity, its property and funds. Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They must also;

The Trustees responsibilities are more fully set out in paragraphs 5-7of the Declaration of Trust.

4. Our objectives

The Charity's aim is to provide a Christian presence in Tavistock College and Kelly College by employing a Christian Youth worker to work within the colleges and be a link to local Churches of all denominations and primary schools in the area.

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects at Clause 3 of the Declaration of Trust:

“The promotion and advancement through education of the Christian Faith, worship of God and the Christian way of life as indicated by the scriptures, amongst young people of school age and over both within and without schools, colleges and other religious establishment (and thereby assist in ensuring that the due attention is given to the spiritual, social and moral education and development of young people as well as to the development and occupation of their minds and bodies.)”

5. Report of the Trustees

The Charity employs one full time worker and supports one part time trainee to work in Schools and Colleges in the Tavistock area. The Full-time employee is a qualified youth worker. The trainee is a part time student at “South West Youth Ministries” a training academy for young people seeking to enter into Christian youth work.

The Employee’s task is to advance the Christian faith by teaching young people in various settings about the Christian faith and to support young people in their journey through school, primarily secondary school, giving special consideration to wellbeing and mental health issues. The team is supported by volunteers.

Catalyst operates by invitation in local schools, providing clubs, support groups and 1-to-1 mentoring where young people are referred for mentoring by school staff, with parental consent. Senior teachers, middle managers and key staff all appreciate the contribution made by mentors who come alongside young people to provide support and a listening ear.

Through in-school support groups, students are encouraged to make positive life choices with increased confidence.

Summary of activities.

Tavistock College: Mentoring students; running support groups in Years 7&8; Christian Union; Free Tea Friday social interaction for sixth formers. Tavistock College: Virtual mentoring for some students; some face-toface mentoring when Covid restrictions permitted.

Primary schools : Some mentoring in Bere Alston P.S.

Monday night Bible study & discussion groups; sometimes online during lockdown.

Events:

Group residential weekend at Heatree Residential and Youth Centre on Dartmoor.

Detached work with the Catalyst team visiting communal spaces and parks to engage with young people in the places they gather. This has

proved particularly popular in the village of Horrabridge where there has been a significant problem with youth anti-social behaviour. With support from the Parish Council, the level of anti-social behaviour and property damage has been reduced.

Online support work: games nights, prayer sessions, worship nights, quiz evenings, face-to-face contact where possible subject to Covid restrictions

Grant Making. Small grants are made to individual students who would otherwise find it difficult to access Catalyst services.

6. Risk Management

Policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of volunteers, the students that we serve and Employees. The Charity has a safeguarding officer who has oversight of safeguarding of vulnerable adults and children.

Catalyst is fully insured with Public Liability Insurance

Potential risks to the viability of the Charity are:

7. Related Parties

Catalyst works in close conjunction with TACT “Tavistock Area Christians Together” and with Churches in the Tavistock area which provide both funding and volunteers.

We are a recognised mission partner with South West Youth Ministries.

8. Financial Review

Closing balance on 31[st] December 2021 : £14853

Balance on 31[st] December 2020 : £11911

In addition, we carry forward a balance of £1231 reserved for the staging of The Illuminate event, cancelled in 2020 and hopefully to be organised when safe to do so in the future.

Trustees make an annual decision on team size, depending on the financial forecasts, which determines the range of activities we can commit to for the next academic year. To this end we produce accounts which differentiate between core funding for the employment and

activities run by Director of Youth Work and SWYM funding to support trainees whilst studying.

9. Reserves Policy

Catalyst holds no investments and holds all funds in a single charity current account. We aim to hold a minimum of 3 months salary of the key worker. Reserves can temporarily dip below this threshold if income projections show secure funding for the academic year. We have maintained a reserve account of £5000 which represents two months of regular expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.
