Additional information (optional) SORP reference You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Contribution made by volunteers Para 1.38
The Charity is hugely dependent on the great work of our extensive volunteer team. Without the volunteers, the charity would fail to reach the set purposes of reaching the youth of Llandudno. Volunteers’ roles include (note, this is not an exclusive list): acting as youth leaders, prayer co-ordination, schools work, running online activities, running the Saturday Café, baking for the café, providing guidance on insurance/financial issues, attending camp and acting as an additional adult on trips etc.

Achievements and Performance SORP reference Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference Para 1.20 the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Llandudno Youth for Christ Trustees and Centre Staff have taken the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit Guidance into account when considering the different activities undertaken to achieve its objectives. Llandudno Youth for Christ has remained a constant presence for our young people in a world that has shown how little can be taken for granted over the past eighteen months. We have endeavoured to ensure a safe haven for young people at a time of worldwide upheaval, as COVID restrictions in the UK changed and then eased. We believe that this consistency, coupled with the personal attention we give and the genuine interest that we show to our young people, along with delivering a clear gospel message has promoted a caring community of leaders and youth who now function as a family under the leadership of Jesus. Like any family, Llandudno YFC is supported by wider community in the form of active and dynamic trustees and a Council of Reference who give their time freely and prayerfully to ensure that Llandudno YFC remains on target and acts with integrity at all times. We are blessed with a wide circle of individuals and churches who pray for us and are delighted to have made connections with the Church in Wales this year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the work YFC Llandudno did in local high schools in the form of Recess (a club for pupils to learn more about Jesus) was stopped, but we were able to resume in person sessions from Sept 2021. This return to in person working has proved really successful with 10 and 20 pupils attending regularly, with a group of these young people also now volunteering at the Saturday Café. In addition to this, Llandudno YFC are now once again leading assemblies work in local high schools, providing another avenue to reach young people with the gospel message. Whilst we are delighted to be back in person for many of our activities, we recognised that for some young people, online work remained the best option and therefore Show up and Write has continued online. Led by professional writers, this online writing group has allowed young people to explore their faith in creative ways. We have also moved back to in-person monthly prayer meetings that are supplemented by fortnightly email prayer points. We never underestimate the power of bringing our praise, thanks, and requests before an Almighty God. Although, we have delivered stability for our young people, the period from March 2021 to April 2022 has been one of change and growth for Llandudno Youth for Christ. As the UK stepped out from COVID restrictions and into a “new normal”, Llandudno Youth for Christ stepped out of our comfort zone and embraced change in a big way. This has brought with it challenges (including the Centre Director, volunteers and trustees all coming down with COVID at separate times) as well as immense blessings. In January 2022, we left Ty Llewelyn Community Centre and moved our belongings to The Garage, to begin the exciting and daunting task of building (both metaphorically and literally) a youth centre, and a new home for our work. Whilst the building work was beginning and the space, though useful for storage, was under development, we continued to meet weekly for
2
Redefine in a local Christian café. The Haven Café proved to be just that for Llandudno YFC, and we are extremely grateful to the owner for allowing us to use the premises to run our Sunday evening group. We particularly appreciated that we were trusted to use the venue and allowed the freedom to work with the young people in a relaxed atmosphere, where they could get to know each other better, as they learned more about Jesus. We also benefited immensely from the baked goods that were also donated each week.
The Garage project has been the single biggest undertaking of Llandudno YFC to date and has comprised of 3 phases, a preparation phase (Feb-Mar), a major building phase (Apr-Jul) and the final phase of creating the finished youth centre that is currently reaching an end (and will be covered in next year’s report). During the preparation phase of the project, work began on the new space for the Youth Centre, with the space requiring structural renovation, carpentry and a vision for how the space would look.
We are now once again at a time of great change. Some of our young people have headed off to University whilst other new young people, who have just started high school, have joined our projects. We have said goodbye to the Haven Café and are looking forward to life in our new youth centre. We count ourselves blessed to be able work for God in Llandudno and we are excited to see where He will take us next, as we strive to honour Him in our work with the next generation.
NB: April 2022 saw a change in Chairperson, with Paul Hadley leaving the role and Tracey Lloyd taking over the Chair. Tracey is not new to YFC, having been a volunteer youth leader with us over an 11 year period. Tracey is, however, the first woman to Chair the Board of Trustees and has embraced the role with characteristic enthusiasm. Tracey has, therefore, along with Tim (Centre Director) and Chris (Treasurer) prepared this report.
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Income 1. As compared with last year our income decreased by £16,855.33 (23%) 2. Grants: £5,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation restricted for use in setting up Colwyn Youth For Christ centre; £2,000 from the Rehoboth Trust to purchase a horse box trailer to be repurposed for outdoor ministry 3. Saturday Café income: £0 due to COVID regulations 4. Central Youth For Christ provided £2,750 towards the salary of the Centre Director for his work across N Wales 5. Approximately £4,520 can be claimed from HMRC for 2021-2022 Gift Aid/GASDS Expenditure 1. Total expenditure decreased by £13,202.09 (22%) overall due to COVID-19 regulations curtailing activities |
|---|---|---|
3
| 2. 5% salary increase for Centre Director (Administrator resigned and was not replaced) 3. Project costs (Redefine, Recess etc.) 4. The Garage Build and Refurbishment 5. Newsletter/advertising 6. Repairs and Maintenance totalling £3184.28: The lease of the new building includes both rent and increased partnership opportunities with the church adjacent, Gloddaeth. For the building to become viable, however, we were asked to support the church in relocating a huge amount of items stored. This needed new storage solutions to be built. We provided volunteer labour, and donations towards the costs of installation. Without this, it was unlikely that we would have been able to move into the new building, and we were happy to begin this new relationship on a positive note through partnering to solve a practical issue. |

Potential for conflict of interest arising from our move to The Garage.
The trustees for Llandudno YFC are mindful that our move to The Garage, managed by Gloddaeth Church, has the potential for conflicts of interest to arise for members of Gloddaeth Church who also serve on the Board of Trustees. Neither Tim Gough (Centre Director), nor Tracey Lloyd (Chair) are members of Gloddaeth and are committed to protecting the interests of Llandudno YFC by ensuring that any trustees with a potential conflict of interest recuse themselves from voting on issues where that conflict may reasonably be expected to occur. Should any issues or disagreements arise between members of Gloddaeth Church and persons carrying out work for Llandudno YFC whilst at The Garage, Tracey Lloyd will act as a mediator in the first instance. Should further issues arise we have mediation options available through both the Presbyterian Church of Wales (who own the building), and National Youth for Christ. Should third party mediation be needed beyond this, we will seek help from the Evangelical Alliance, of which all groups are members.

Notes:
-
As compared with last year our income was a DECREASE of £16,855.33 (23%) mainly due to far fewer donations and no furlough payments (last year there was a £10k single donation and £13+k other one-offs) .
-
Central YFC provided a grant of £2,750 restricted for work across N Wales (inc. some from last year)
-
A £5,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation, was restricted for use in setting up Colwyn YFC
-
A £2,000 grant from the Rehoboth Trust was given to purchase a horse box to be repurposed for outdoor ministry
-
£200 (unrestricted) was received from the sale of assets (items donated by i61)
-
The overall low income was partly offset by claiming 2 year’s worth of Gift Aid.
-
There was no Reverb Café income due to COVID-19 (or income from events such as Soul Survivor etc)
-
In the NEXT financial year I will be able to claim £4,520 from HMRC for 2021-2022 Gift Aid/GASDS

Notes:
-
Overall we spent a lot less (-26%) than budgeted (which was good as our income was also much less)
-
A significant factor was not hiring another Administrator when the previous one resigned
-
COVID-19 continued to restrict the activities that could take place, with no meetings some of the time (online work instead)
-
Considerable unplanned expenditure was made on the works for preparing Gloddaeth Church and then on The Garage
Regular monthly giving:
Regular monthly income as at 31st March 2022 = £2,406.84 INCREASE OF £58.15 :
- Gift Aided = £1,552 from 48 individuals, INCREASE OF £190
a) 2 individuals ended (unknown why)
-
b) 5 new individuals, 3 individuals increased
-
Non Gift Aided = £ 854.84 from 4 churches & 17 individuals, DECREASE OF £131.85
a) 1 individual ended, 1 individual significantly reduced
b) No new donors, 1 individual increased
- Reverb Café = No income due to COVID-19 [more adult volunteers urgently needed!]
This modest increase of £58.15 in monthly giving is after a huge decrease last year, and a fairly big one the year before too. Plus Reverb Café hadn’t taken place for 2 years. This means we continue to be in a very fragile position. Taking the long view, the website now includes info on how to create legacies and hopefully this will be promoted soon.
We still need to raise roughly an extra £500 in giving every month PLUS run the Reverb Café just to get back to where we were in 2019!

-
Meanwhile, the works to prepare The Garage have curtailed some activities
-
A restricted donation of £10k was made in June 2022 towards The Garage works
-
We still need to encourage the potential for future legacy income in a specific campaign
