Structure, Governance and Management

The Joy Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14 April 2009, with Articles of Association dated 6 April 2009 based on the Charity Commission model articles for charitable companies under the Companies Act 2006. It is also a registered charity and is registered for Gift Aid with HMRC.

Current trustees represent supporting churches as noted above. The trustees meet quarterly for regular meetings and those meetings are attended by the Project Manager and Administrator. Extra meetings of trustees or sub-groups of trustees are arranged as required. An Annual General Meeting is held each Autumn at which trustees are re-elected as required. New trustees are recruited, usually from supporting churches, and appointed by the trustees during the year if appropriate. New trustees are given an explanation of their responsibilities and role.

Day to day management is carried out by the Project Manager, who meets regularly with other staff and the volunteer team for supervision and training. Pastoral support for the Project Manager is provided by Alan Hoare and Nick Buck.

Financial Review

The Charity is supported financially by a combination of payments received as below

Regular plus occasional “ad hoc” payments received from individual donors
Regular plus occasional “ad hoc” payments received from supporting Churches
Fundraising this year has been restricted to card selling
Grant funds received from other Charities, Companies or Churches
Contract work by the Project Manager taking lessons in local schools
Gift Aid tax relief in respect of regular and “ad hoc” payments received from personal donors
Government funding through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

The year end Accounts show no fund is materially in deficit. The majority of the Charity’s money is held as working capital in a standard Charity bank account in order to meet ongoing running costs of which the major factor is salary and associated “on costs” of tax and National Insurance contributions. Apart from the working capital, a separate fund is also held in a Reserve account intended to meet the Charity’s calculation as to its ongoing potential liability to meet redundancy costs for its employees should the Charity cease to operate. At the year end, the Charity bank account stood at £16,661.76 in credit and the Reserve account stood at £26,009.90 in credit. During the year ended 30/4/2021, the Charity returned a surplus of £10,021.03 resulting in a balance sheet standing at £46,752.18 at the year end. No funds are held as custodian trustee on behalf of others.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees consider that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.

Objectives and Activities

The Objects as stated in the Articles are as follows:

"To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 18 living in Lincolnshire (the area of benefit) by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:

a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;

b) advancing education;

c) advancing the Christian religion;

d) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons."

In order to further those objects, The Joy Foundation works in schools in and around the Lincoln area, leading collective worship, running clubs and teaching lessons. The

Joy Foundation also leads children’s workshops, gives staff training and has representatives serving on school governing bodies.

Achievements and Performance

The Joy Foundation has supported local children in a variety of ways in schools. These are the schools where The Joy Foundation has been active over the year:

Brant Broughton Church of England & Methodist Primary School Branston Infant School Cherry Willingham Primary School Coleby Church of England Primary School Lincoln, Bishop King Church of England Community Primary School Lincoln, Bracebridge Infant and Nursery School Lincoln, Leslie Manser Primary School Lincoln, Manor Leas Infant School Lincoln, St. Christopher’s School (special school) Lincoln, St Giles Academy Lincoln, St. Peter at Gowts Church of England Primary School Lincoln, St Peter in Eastgate Church of England Infant School Lincoln, The Meadows Primary School Lincoln, Westgate Academy Navenby Church of England Primary School North Hykeham, All Saints Church of England Primary School North Hykeham, Fosse Way Academy North Hykeham, Ling Moor Academy North Hykeham, Manor Farm Academy Saxilby Church of England Primary School South Hykeham Community Primary School Waddington Redwood Primary School Welbourn Church of England Primary School Witham St. Hughs Academy

Many unknown other schools have also benefited from the online presence of The Joy Foundation through its production of videos during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Project Manager’s Report 2021

In the extraordinary past year of the Covid-19 pandemic The Joy Foundation has been determined to continue to support and serve local children. This has been achieved despite many financial, physical and mental challenges and to much acclaim by local and now distant schools.

From March 2020 and then throughout this past year The Joy Foundation has produced more than 100 video messages that have been released online and sent to schools to support children’s spiritual, mental and emotional needs. Up to July 2020 these were being produced three times per week and were seen as a lifeline by many schools whilst children were not physically in school. Then weekly messages were

produced as children returned to school in September 2020 and continued throughout the year, even during the second school closure at the start of 2021.

The Joy Foundation trustees took the bold decision to continue to employ The Project Manager during all of this time, despite severe loss of income through lack of schools work, but this was justified as children, staff and wider families viewed the videos that were produced and responded to their challenges.

During this period all of the schools that were previously served have made contact with The Joy Foundation and indicated their great appreciation for this work and expressed their desire for The Joy Foundation to return to in-school work as soon as possible. Messages have also been received from schools further afield expressing gratitude for the online presence of these videos.

Some in-school, Covid-safe work has also taken place, with weekly PE sessions, intervention support and Collective Worship taking place in five of its regular schools.

This continued support of schools during this pandemic has ensured that The Joy Foundation has continued and, indeed, enhanced its reputation amongst local primary schools as an outstanding support for their children.

Andy Housam The Joy Foundation Project Manager

Chairman’s remarks 2021

The coronavirus pandemic has dominated the work of the Foundation over the last 12 months. Schools were initially closed so that no in-person ministry could take place.

Then as schools opened there was great caution around who could be permitted to visit.

The Foundation adapted to the evolving circumstances. Our schools’ workers created a range of videos which were delivered to schools who then made them available at first to children isolated at home, and then used them in school as the lockdown was eased. The feedback from schools is that this ministry was hugely valued.

As we reported last year the trustees made the difficult decision to furlough one of our schools’ workers. The government financial support enabled us to maintain her salary at 100% for the period. The work of the Foundation is now almost back to ‘normal’ with in-person contact in schools, the conduct of collective worship, after-school clubs and one-to-one mentoring.

During this unprecedented time the trustees continued to meet as usual, but virtually online rather than in person.

The trustees are immensely grateful to the Foundation’s staff who have worked tirelessly to develop this important ministry in a time of intense uncertainty.
