Review of the Year This is our twelfth annual report a5 a registered charity. The past year has been affected significantly by the continuing impact of Covid-19. For much of the year the charity was not able to carry out face-to-face work with children in a church or school context. During the year, the provision of videos for primary schools to vse in assemblies and RE increasingly became a priority and a significant way of resourcing Schools. Encouragingly we began to get back into a small number of schools towards the end of 2021 and thi5 Colltinued into 2022 as face-to-face opportunities opened up. Actlvltles, Events The following are the activities and events delivered over the past year= GenR8 Connect Videos: Eleven 12-15 minute videos were sent to primary schools throughout the academic year. Volunteers were involved in all aspects of filming. Themes, under the overall title of 'Life Le550r15', included 'Keep Going, You are Precious, and 'Hope.' Our aim was to connect our videos with students, experience5 and school values throughout the year. Reflection and activty ideas forteacher5 were provided alongside the videos. GenR8 Assemblie5/Wideos: Team5 Visited a small number of schoo15 Wlth our Advent assembly presentation and an increasing number with our Easter assembly. Both presentationswere recorded on videofor schoo15 unable to have in-person assemblies. We also shared three shorter videos coveringthe events of Easter.
GenR8 Reflect Wideos.. Twelve videos were sent to schools throughoLrt the academic year alternating with our Connect videos. These Reflect videos were designed to be an opportunity for children to reflect, think and be still. Inspire Prayer & Reflertion Easter Bags- In March 2022, 648 children in nine primary schoo15 across Cambridgeshire received an individual drawstring bag containing the items needed for six prayer or reflective activities linked to the events of Easter: joy, friendship, forgiveness, hope. serving other5 and our unique gifts and talents. These ba85, which lillk to the RE curricLAlum around the life of Jesus. wefe offered to children in Key Stage 2. Inspire prayer &reflection ideas: We adapted some 'Prayer Space5 schools, ideas for classes to access in school or at home. Twelve activities were presented to schools through our website. It's Your MoveTransition Workshop: We were unableto visit schools in person for ourjuly 2021 workshop to support Year 6 students making the transition to secondary school. Instead, we provided schools with the video resource that had been produced in the previous year with young people in Years 11 & 13. Over 120 primary schools were sent the video. Inspire Transition Prayer & Reflertion Bags: Bags containing ideas and items to encourage Year 6 students to pray or reflect about their move to secondary school were delivered to 450 students. The bag5 were designed to work alongside the It's Your Move video and Scripture Union booklet of the same name. which many churches provide to their local schoo15 free of charge. Xcellr8: Our Xcellr8 February weekend was non-residential but ran in person with a reduced capacity of 38 children {aged 8-111 in attendance. Otsr theme of Illumin8 explored the influence of light and Jesus as 'Light of the World,. Permanent Prayer & Reflective Spa. We continued to resource nine primary schools with materialslresources for OLtr Permanent Prayer Spaces initiative adapting these to suit the variou5 ch311enges that the year brought regarding covid restrictions. Latterly we were once again able to partner with local churches with this initiative. Cool Choices: We ran twelve workshops in the springterm foryear 6 Students with the aim of helping them make positive lrfe choices. Churches: Whilst the opportunity to Visit churches was12rgely restricted, we were able to record videos on occasion. A team did take part in-person ecurnenical gathering at Comberton which wa5 a delight. Due to restrictions, we were not able to run several other initiatives that we normally would have. We are considering whether to run these in the future as opportunity allows. During the year we kept 5UPPOrters informed of our work through our termly prayer and newsletters, and our Elev8 prayer emails as well as specific mailings to our financial 5UPPOrters. Internally we continued with regular Zoom staff meetings as well as on-line opportunities for
R£-QiS:<ired Cn-:' volunteers to gather. The need to keep people in touch and connected was particularly important whilst gatherings were restricted. People The year wa5 a demanding one for staff and team as we continued to adapt to the challenges and changes of Covid-19. Making medium to long term plans was difficult, and we regularly needed to be flexible to respond to changes, challenges as well as opportunities. Sadly, the year saw the passing of several people connected to GenR8 through volunteering or support of the work. In add ition. changing circumstances has meant we have105t others due to thin8s such as relocating. This will be a challenge to us moving forwards. We currently have five paid team members: Full-time director Part-time prayer Spaces director Part-time administrator and bookings co-ordinator Part-time communications co-ordinator Part-time bookkeeper The staff team is supported by several significant volunteer roles, most notably the trustees, assembly team leaders, booking c(Fordinators and individuals who support GenR8 in creative and administrative tasks. Summary We are grateful to individuals, churches and charitable bodies who have continued to support the work of GenR8 during such challenging times. We have been delighted on our return to in- person school visit5 to receive very positive recognition and feedback which has given great encouragement toward5 the end of a tough year.
