2) The Need for Million Minutes

Million Minutes is a Catholic youth agency. We promote a broad vision of youth ministry where the voices of young people are centred.

Our Vision: a world where young people take transformative social action, rooted in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching

Our Mission: to equip the Catholic Church to more effectively accompany all young people

At Million Minutes, we exist to invest time intentionally with young people and those who support them, including youth leaders, youth ministers, parishes, schools and the wider Church. By listening carefully and walking alongside young people, we seek to understand their lived realities and respond in ways that are both revenant and rooted in faith.

Our work is grounded in Catholic Social Teaching, which calls us to recognise the dignity, voice and potential of every young people. We believe that faith and social action are inseparable, and that the Church is at its strongest when young people are not merely recipients of ministry, but active contributors to it. Creating space for young people’s voices to heard is therefore centre to our approach and essential to shaping a broad and inclusive vision of youth ministry.

Across all our work, we priorities accompaniment, a commitment to giving time generously, attentively and consistently. Accompaniment means journeying alongside young people with openness, humility and a willingness to listen, meeting them where they are and supporting them as their lives and path unfold. This relational approach is inspired by the example of Jesus, who lived among people, particularly those on the margins, sharing in their experiences and valuing them as integral members of the community.

.

P4

Through the investment of many minutes, moments of listening, presence and shared experience, young people come to know that they are valued and that their lives matter. This sense of belonging empowers them to grow in confidence, participate more fully in the life of the Church and their communities, and take meaningful social action. In this way, Million Minutes responds to the need not just for programmes, but for sustained, faithful presence that enables transformation over time.

3) Message from the CEO

This year has been one of significant transition and growth for Million Minutes. As I settled into the role of Chief Executive, I was struck by the strength, commitment and generosity of both the staff team and the wider network. Their support has enabled the organisation not only to maintain momentum during a period of change, but to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

Across the year, we have seen a substantial increase in engagement with our core programmes, particularly the Celebrating Young People: Revival programme. Online launch events attracted over 70 adult participants, leading to 45 schools, colleges and parishes formally registered to participate in the programme in the 25/26 academic year. This has grown significantly from a small number of groups to a national cohort with projected engagement of more than 2000 young people based on registration data. This programme is now fully resourced, with structured sessions and personalised online resource hubs for each participating group. This growth reflects a continued appetite within schools, parishes and diocese for resources that centre young people’s voices, dignity and lived experience within the life of the Church and wider society.

P5

We have also strengthened our contribution to the wider Catholic sector through collaboration, research and formation. Our work listening to and amplifying the voice of young people, accompaniment and Catholic Social Teaching has been recognised and affirmed by partners across diocese, academic and charitable contexts. These developments reflect a growing trust in our approach and a clear demand for our expertise. These relationships are also shaping the next phase of our work and opening new opportunities to influence practice at both local and national levels.

The year also included important organisational changes, including relocation to new office premises and a restructure of staffing hours to support increased activity and following the departure of our previous administrator Michael, who played a significant role in assisting in the transition between CEOs.

Over the past year, we have also taken time to reflect on how clearly our name communicates the heart of our work. This led us to undertake a brand refresh, not to change who we are, but to articulate our purpose more intentionally. We recognised that while our mission has always been rooted in walking alongside young people, the connection between the name Million Minutes and what we do 15 years on was not always immediately obvious. By revisiting our narrative, we have been able to express more clearly that our name reflects a simple but powerful conviction: that every minute listening to, accompanying and empowering young people matters. It now clearly places time at the centre of our mission, time given generously, consistently and intentionally. It speaks to and celebrates the millions of minutes invested by staff, volunteers and young people themselves and how those moments accumulate into lasting impact for individuals, communities, the wider Church and society. This work on our identity has helped us align our messaging, mission and visual identity more closely with our values, ensuring that our name now more clearly reflects both what we do and why we do it.

P6

As we look ahead, Million Minutes remains committed to listening attentively to young people, responding creatively to emerging needs, and supporting communities to walk alongside young people with integrity, courage and hope. I am grateful to our trustees, funders, partners and supporters for their trust and encouragement throughout the year.

Kate Wilkinson, CEO

4) Collaborations and Accompaniment

Collaboration has continued to be a defining feature of Million Minutes’ work this year. We have strengthened existing partnerships and developed new relationships across dioceses, religious orders, charities and academic networks, enabling our work to have wider reach and deeper impact.

Our Adventurous Accompaniment programme has expanded significantly. New relationships have been formed over this year which has led to a number of bookings to deliver training in dioceses and national organisations next year (25/26). This year we have delivered and developed accompaniment training in partnership with the diocese of Nottingham (Education Department), as well as with the chaplaincy at the University of Reading. These programmes have supported clergy, lay leaders, volunteers and school staff. Plans are also in place to launch an online version of the programme, increasing accessibility for individuals and communities unable to attend in person training.

Beyond formal training, we have also contributed to wider collaborative initiatives. Million Minutes engaged with the Conversations, Culture and Communion project, where our work received strong affirmation and led to further invitations to contribute. Our youth audit work has generated sector interest, including from CSAN (Caritas Social Action Network), with data being explored for inclusion in forthcoming publications and our methods being explore for use across the sector.

P7

We have also worked closely with Pax Christi, Caritas Salford, the FCJ Sisters (Centre for ECO Justice and Spirituality), CARJ (Catholic Agency for Racial Justice), YCW (Young Christian Workers), and Common Good Schools (Together for the Common Good), to develop new resources for our Celebrating Young People: Revival Program. We are hugely grateful for their time and efforts in creating resources for the programme that help to link Catholic Social Teaching with lived practical action.

Through all these collaborations, Million Minutes continues to act as a bridge between young people, practitioners and institutions, offering practical tools grounded in listening, reflection and Catholic Social Teaching.

5) Schools and Youth Engagement

Engagement with schools, colleges and youth settings grew substantially over the past year. We engaged directly with a wide range of schools, colleges, universities and youth settings throughout the year. As well as school and college visits we also participated in diocesan mission days and Faith in Action award ceremonies and celebrations. We have engaged with over 5000 young people and 400 youth ministers/leaders/volunteers and teachers. These engagements focused on social justice, faith, dignity, participation and the role of young people within Church and society. Feedback consistently highlights the value of providing safe, reflective spaces where young people feel heard and taken seriously.

As we entered our second year of CYPR we were able to engage with new schools and those who have continued to be a part of the programme. Our school visits have grown as well as the participation of around 1,300 young people in our annual youth audit.

Throughout the year we have led lecture style talks with schools looking at stereotypes and how Catholic Social Teaching shows us how to live out being a culturally diverse and more inclusive community. We have presented workshops to Year 12 students on the theme of being Gen Z and social influence. These workshops explored how Gen Z have taken problems they have noticed locally and globally and found different methods of influencing those around them to join with them to make a difference, aiming to resolve some of these problems.

Our developing work this year has also led to opportunities to work with young people in parish and deanery groups as they prepare for Confirmation. In addition, we have also been part of delivering formation to parents and other family members as they support their young people through the sacrament.

We were also invited to create resources and have an active involvement with the Catholic Youth Ministry Federation and the delivery of their National World Youth Funday Live stream. This initiative which engages with primary and secondary schools throughout England and Wales was a huge success.

This year has allowed us to network and attend events organised by the Conversations, Culture and Communion network, exploring safeguarding and Church vitality. We also attended the ATCRE conference, an opportunity to engage directly with teachers to promote our work. Finally, we attended the Flame Congress, a national youth event which gathers over 10,000 young people at Wembley Arena, London.

We have also seen an increase in engagement with our social media platforms, email newsletter and have been approached by media outlets about our work.

P7P10

6) Communications

During this year Million Minutes has continued to strengthen its digital communications, broaden its reach and deepen engagement with supporters, partners and the wider public. Our focus has been on consistent storytelling, clearer calls to action, and regular touchpoints across social media and email communications.

During this reporting year we have seen a 16% growth in social media followers. This steady increase reflects both improved content consistence and greater audience engagement with our campaigns and community stories.

Over the reporting period, we have also experienced a substantial increase in online reach. Monthly reach grew consistently throughout the year, rising several-fold from the beginning to the end of the period.

In addition to social media growth, we maintained regular newsletter mailouts to supporters. These communications provided updates on projects, campaigns, and impact stories, helping to strengthen supporter relationships and encourage ongoing participation and giving.

Overall, there has been sustained audience growth, substantially increased online visibility and improved engagement with supporters across digital and email channel.

7) Feedback from Our Collaborators

“I have known the work of Million Minutes for nearly five years. As a member of the Caritas Social Action Network, I have worked closely with them on a number of events, including speaking on the same platform at a conference for Catholic schools in London in the summer of 2024. In that time, I have come to regard Million Minutes as the foremost Catholic charity working with young people. As an educator and former headteacher in Catholic education, I can see how skilled and effective they are in their pedagogy and impact, all inspired by a deep faith.”

-Raymond Friel, CEO, Caritas Social Action Network.

“This year Million Minutes have delivered workshops for approximately 200 sixth-form students at St Mary’s High School’s annual Justice and Peace Conference in Chesterfield, creating reflective and empowering spaces for young people to explore what it means to be Church in today’s society. Through effective facilitation, including polls and questionnaires, Million Minutes has enabled young people to contribute meaningfully to wider conversations across England and Wales. Throughout our collaboration, Million Minutes has consistently been well-prepared, engaging, and responsive, and I am deeply grateful that our students have had such a valuable opportunity to have their voices heard.”

-Sue McDonald, Director of Youth Ministry, Diocese of Hallam.

“In our work of enabling the voices and experiences of young people in conversations for greater church vitality and health, Million Minutes have been highly significant collaborators. Working with them has opened up a network of young people, with diverse backgrounds and experiences, allowing the impact of young lives and faith to be felt throughout our ecclesiological and practical church work. I continue to learn from the work and perspectives of Million Minutes, in ways which shape our ongoing research and networking for ecclesial culture change.”

-Professor Clare Watkins, Research Lead, Conversations, Culture and Communion: networking for church vitality and Health. Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham University.

8) Delivering Public Benefit

In planning our activities this year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard for public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The objects of the charity are for public benefit: To advance in life and relieve needs of young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals, consistent with the social teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. The social teaching of the Roman Catholic Church proposes the following principles, which Million Minutes takes as our framework for action, for the good of all young people, of all faiths and none:

We seek to live by this framework in all our activity. We support young people to put them into practice. We celebrate where we see them lived out. We reach out to those in need of experiencing these in action.

P13

9) Governance

Two trustees resigned during the year, and our vice chair began maternity leave. We appointed one trustee with comparable skills and selected a current trustee to take over the vice-chair role. In selecting Trustees, the Board pays regard to the balance of skills and experience required on the Board, the need for capacity to develop the charity, the need for continuity, and the beneficiaries the charity seeks to serve.

10) Risk Management

The Trustees maintain a risk register and these risks are monitored throughout the year and updated annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces, and the management of risks are owned by the appropriate personnel. Different risks are assessed by the most appropriate people: the full Board, Trustee subgroups or the CEO. Regardless of who manages the risk, all risks are regularly reported to the full Board, with key risks assessed at Board meetings.

P14

11) Reserves Policy and Financial Management

The charity’s Reserves Policy (last reviewed May 2025) sets out Million Minutes’ approach and underlying principles to reserves management. The annual budgeting process determines quantitative metrics following the Policy.

Million Minutes has two baselines to guide its approach to financial planning and reserves management:

The quantitative metrics attached to the two baselines described above are calculated annually in the budgeting process. The Board will only sign off budgets which achieve these two baselines. Financial monitoring during the financial year also adheres to these two baselines. Million Minutes’ reserve is held in cash.

This year’s £11,000 deficit reflects a planned and responsible drawdown of the £30,000 surplus reported in the previous financial year.

Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts For the year ending 31st August 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the receipts and payments accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025 which are set out on pages 3 - 22 in the accounts.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND EXAMINER

As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: • accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or • the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts

11 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

A) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Million Minutes meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

B) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.

At the date of transition there was no requirement to restate any comparative as no liabilities existed that needed providing for. As such in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 no reconciliation of opening balances has been provided.

C) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The Charity reported a cash outflow of £(10,401) for the year (2024: £17,307 cash inflow). The trustees are of the view that the Charity is a going concern.

D) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material

Income received in advance of an activity or provision of other specified service it is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

P20

E) Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

F) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

G) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity's work being undertaken by the Charity.

H) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

● Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs holding events, workshops and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs

● Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

I) Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Charity's artistic programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 10.

J) Operating leases

The charity does not currently operate any Operating Leases. Where the charity would have operating leases; the title to the equipment remains with the lessor and the equipment would be replaced every 5 years whilst the economic life of such equipment is normally 10 years. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

P21

K) Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Asset Category

Annual Rate

Plant and machinery

33%

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 33%

L) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

M) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

N) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

O) Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

P) Pensions

The Charity currently operates an employee pension scheme. The Trustees recognised the Charity's legal requirement to offer an auto-enrolment pension scheme from 1st October 2017.

The scheme would operate on an employee/employer combined contribution with a minimum of the legal minimum contributions.

Q) Transition to FRS 102

The opening fund balances at the date of transition have not been restated (see note 1b) as there were no liabilities to be restated in the transition to FRS102. The transition date was 1st September 2015.

P22

2) Legal status of the Charity

On the 26th March 2019 Million Minutes became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation under Charity Commission supervision.
