STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document Deed of Trust adopted on 14th November 2011 How the charity is constituted Trust

Governance/Structure

The Board of Trustees meets up to six times per year for business meetings. The day to day running of the charity is handled by the Chief Executive.

The Board have four sub-committees (teams), which assist the CEO with the oversight and development of the charity. These teams are:

The Board of Trustees have given their approval to policies, procedures and guidelines, which are applied within Thrive Youth Ministries’ (more commonly referred to in this report as Thrive) daily activities.

The charity has the following policies in place:

Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees allow all Trustees to keep up to date with the development of the charity and in between meetings, any matters arising are shared by email or phone conversation, or at a fortnightly prayer meeting.

Meetings are scheduled for every other calendar month, with an expectation of a minimum of three meetings per year with an additional annual vision and prayer day, where possible. In 2024, the trustees met six times formally, plus a vision & prayer day with the staff on Saturday 10[th] May. Each of the teams met at least once.

Our core values are:

An Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is obtained prior to commencement of employment or trusteeship, with a renewal after every three years. We also ensure that all volunteers working with Thrive have a current DBS check in place.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.

Until May 2025 Thrive Youth Ministries had been a local mission partner of Scripture Union. The trustees took the decision to end the partnership now that Thrive has properly been established in its own right, and is known across the region.

Recruitment of Trustees

New Trustees are identified through connections made with individuals in the course of Thrive’s activities. Exploratory conversations occur and if the time/skills of the individual and the needs of the Board align, the person considering a trustee role is invited to meet other trustees at a meeting, where they have the opportunity to ask further questions and introduce themselves. If a synergy is identified, the person is invited to become a Trustee based upon the voting of existing Trustees.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects of the charity: To advance the Christian faith among young people in England, as set out in our Deed of Trust.

Summary of Main Activities Undertaken for the Public Benefit in Relation to These Objects

In planning the activities of Thrive, the Trustees have given consideration to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in September 2013. Thrive aims to fulfil its vision as shown above and in so doing, serve the local and wider communities who connect with Thrive.

Thrive’s vision is to see every church within its area of operation with a thriving youth ministry of some kind. Our area is defined as Warwickshire and Coventry. With our office in Leamington Spa, it means we can reach anywhere within an approximate drive of 30 minutes, therefore keeping our work local.

We recognise that for Thrive’s vision to be realised, Thrive also needs to help churches with their children’s ministry as if this is weak, it is much harder for there to be the possibility of a

Page 4

strong youth ministry. As a result, we work with churches to develop all ministries reaching under 18s.

Our primary means for fulfilling our vision is by focusing on three priorities:

1. Mobilising the Church

We offer to walk alongside churches as they look to develop their youth and children’s work. We offer resources to help them review their attitudes to young people as well as offering advice on how to improve their delivery of youth work.

We have developed a step by step process to help churches create a youth ministry fit for the new century, and with a hands-on approach from Thrive. We have two Youth Mission Enablers who provide churches with the expertise and knowledge to lead them through the process.

2. Enabling healthy youth & children’s leaders

We provide regular one-to-one mentoring for youth and children’s leaders, both volunteers and employed staff. This helps leaders to feel valued, understood and supported in their ministry. It enables them to grow and develop as leaders as well as in their ministries. We believe mentoring is an essential element for a leader if they are to be resilient and have longevity in their position.

We hold both open training events and closed events, specifically at the request of a particular church. Training enables people to come together and to discuss new ideas and encourages greater creativity and dependence on God.

Our website is an effective means of communicating with a lot of people in one go. Our leadership blog is popular, as is our increasing bank of useful web links. The website is used by a large number of people regularly. We also have a popular weekly podcast and YouTube video called, ‘The Heart of a Youth Leader’.

3. Investing in the next generation

Thrive only wants to do what the local church on its own is unable to deliver. So we run leadership courses for Christian young people, enabling individual churches to each send one or two young people to participate. We also oversee area-wide youth and children’s events.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

2025 was a significant and encouraging year for Thrive. Across every area of our work we saw growth — in the number of young people reached, in the churches we were able to support, and in the confidence and capacity of the team. We are grateful to God for His faithfulness and for the generosity of so many who make this work possible.

One of the most exciting developments of the year was the continued growth of the Warwick Youth Bus — the ‘Thrive Bus’ — which has become one of the most fruitful and visible arms of our ministry. Having taken on responsibility for the day to day running of the bus in 2024, 2025 saw the project expand significantly. Over the course of the year, the bus attracted 2,300 visits from young people, delivered 240 hours of youth work across 20 different locations, and ran 18 sessions in secondary schools. These numbers represent real young people, real conversations, and real encounters with the love of God.

In Warwick, after-school drop-in sessions continued to build relationships with young people in their neighbourhoods, and the bus also attended community events including the Pursuits Festival, the Priory Pools Market, and the Packmores Summer Fun Day. A summer Alpha course run from the Packmores location welcomed eight young people, each of whom was given a Bible. We were overjoyed to hear that one of those young people has since been baptised — a wonderful fruit of patient, faithful outreach.

The bus opened remarkable doors in school too. At Aylesford School, the Thrive team and local youth leaders delivered the ‘Strong’ course — a resilience programme for young people who do not meet the threshold for mental health services but are struggling with the pressures of everyday life. On the final day of the summer term, we were also able to bless the young people of Aylesford by giving away over 500 milkshakes in a single afternoon. The school responded with great warmth, and invited the team back to deliver further courses from September 2025 onwards.

“ Thank you so much to you and your team, the students loved the course, and I think it’s made a real difference. I don’t know many of the Year 7s very well, but [student] has definitely come out of his shell. His mum and I were flabbergasted to see him playing football with the other boys last week. This is something that he never would have done .”

— Member of staff, Aylesford School

The bus also played an important role in our Transitions work with Year 6 pupils preparing for secondary school. We visited six primary schools including Budbrooke Primary School, and

Page 6

supported the Rugby Deanery with a summer celebration for Year 6 pupils at the Harris School. In addition, we were able to support churches across Warwickshire more broadly, including facilitating sessions for Youth with a Mission (YWAM) teams who came from across Europe to do youth work in Coventry, Bedworth, Attleborough and Nuneaton. The summer also saw us welcoming Isaac to the team as our Bus Outreach Worker. Having begun as a volunteer, Isaac has thrown himself into the role, becoming a bus driver as well as leading sessions and volunteer teams — a real gift to the project.

Our Transitions Initiative — helping churches to get alongside Year 6 pupils as they move to secondary school — continued to grow in 2025. James worked with the Church of England deanery in Rugby to bring stepping-up workshops to 10 CofE schools, enabling 18 lessons to take place with 17 different churches. Five golden ticket reunion events were held in churches across the county, helping young people maintain their connection with the church and with friends from primary school. Monthly youth groups in Radford Semele and Stretton on Dunsmore continue to grow as a direct result of this work, and St Chad’s, Bishops Tachbrook began running a fortnightly lunch club for Year 6 pupils.

Throughout the year we continued to support churches across Warwickshire through our Manifesto for 21st Century Youthwork. Tim came alongside Castle Hill Baptist Church, taking over from Ryan, guiding their strategy group through a period when their minister was on sabbatical. James supported St Paul’s Warwick in developing a weekly after-school youth café, and continued meeting with coordinating groups at Willenhall Free Church and elsewhere. St Nicholas Warwick has seen its giveaway ministry — distributing hot chocolate in winter and ice cream in summer to young people passing through the churchyard after school — grow from 30 to over 80 young people each week, with growing numbers from the local Myton School and increasingly meaningful conversations about faith. James has also been working with St Nicholas to launch a monthly youth group.

Perhaps the most encouraging reflection on what the Manifesto can achieve over time came from one of our church partners. Kevin Johnson, Pastor of Castle Hill Baptist, wrote to us to share what had changed since they began the process:

“ Sunday, we had 12 (11–14 year olds) crammed into our church café, and one of our former leaders has agreed to return to team! Our youth café had 7 (15+) who want us to run this more frequently… Three years ago, before we started the Manifesto, we were struggling to get 4 turning up regularly to the Sunday group and our youth group was floundering… Isn’t what God has done through our partnership amazing!”

— Kevin Johnson, Pastor, Castle Hill Baptist Church

Our annual Basecamp youth weekend was once again a highlight of the year, bringing together 167 young people, 37 youth leaders, and the Thrive team from 19 churches. The theme for the weekend was Friends — exploring what it means to be a friend of God, the importance of Christian friendship, and what it looks like to be the best possible example of Christ to those around us who don’t yet know Him. We were grateful to Joe Morris from Coventry Youth For Christ, who joined us to help host the weekend. A particular highlight was the range of seminars run by some of our own young leaders, covering topics such as taking ownership of your faith, connecting with God, responding to a fallen world, dealing with peer pressure, and finding your place in the Church. Seeing young people confidently and thoughtfully leading their peers in these conversations was a genuine encouragement.

In September, Base — our annual worship event — drew around 140 young people and leaders from 11 churches to gather together in worship and encounter God. The evening’s theme was ‘God’s Plan for Your Life’, explored by Joe Morris from Coventry YFC, who reflected on how shame can prevent us from offering ourselves to God — and reminded us all that “God brings ability; we bring our availability.” Twelve young leaders from previous Youth Growing Leaders cohorts ran games, hosted the event, and led worship. Several young people who had first connected with Thrive through bus sessions were also in the room — a beautiful picture of the journey from the streets to gathered worship.

2025 also marked a significant step forward for our Youth Growing Leaders programme. The 2024/25 cohort of 12 young people from seven churches completed their course in April, with participants reflecting on how it had shaped them:

“I’ve definitely grown more confident.”

“After doing this course, I feel more like ‘I know what I’m doing, I’ve got this.’ Know what I mean?”

— Participants, Youth Growing Leaders 2024/25

From September 2025, Tim expanded the programme to run two parallel courses — one in Leamington and one in Coventry — welcoming 19 young people from 11 churches. This represents a 58% increase in participants and a 57% increase in churches from the previous cohort, and is a real mark of the growing reach and reputation of the programme. Three residential events were completed across the year, including one for the concluding cohort in January and one each for the two new cohorts in September.

James led the Thrive worship band again in 2025, with eight young musicians developing their skills and leading worship at both Base and Basecamp. This is a wonderful example of young people being invested in and then giving back to the wider community of churches.

Fiona continued her vital work among children’s leaders and with younger children across the county. She mentored 14 children’s leaders over the course of the year, creating intentional space for them to process the challenges of their ministry, explore new possibilities, and be encouraged in their calling.

“I really appreciate meeting regularly with Fiona to spend time reflecting on my work and also my life as a whole. She encourages me, challenges me, stretches me, laughs with me and commiserates with me as appropriate. I really value the way she encourages me to always be looking forward… Fiona has helped me think more strategically about my time and how best to spend it.”

— Ruth Powell, Youth Worker, Foleshill Baptist Church

Fiona also led the Thrive Puppet Team, which visited four churches during the year — Baginton Road Church, St Peter’s Hillfields, St Margaret’s Whitnash, and Northgate Methodist Church — performing at summer outreach events, a Light Party, and a Christmas outreach service. The team of nine young people worked beautifully together, with older members increasingly mentoring and leading the younger ones. Their commitment and joy were evident in every performance.

“The whole congregation was enthralled with Thrive Puppet Team’s Christmas performances! There were so many wonderful comments: ‘Superb’, ‘Incredible’, ‘Beautiful’, ‘So well-rehearsed’. They brought such joy to our Christmas celebrations. Thank you!”

— Sally Jones, Minister, Northgate Methodist Church

One of the most encouraging things to observe in 2025 was the health of our networks for youth and children’s leaders. We ran network lunches across the year, drawing 21 leaders together to share their stories, connect with others in similar roles, and receive input from Thrive. In November, we launched a new initiative — Breathing Space — termly retreat days for youth and children’s workers to step back, meet with God, and be refreshed for ministry. The first day was hosted with the help of Joe Morris from Coventry YFC and James Henney, Growing Faith Enabler for Coventry Diocese, and was warmly received.

“I really appreciate coming to the network meetings and meeting other youth leaders, as I can sometimes feel quite alone in my role.”

— Rachel Tomita, Youth Worker, Emmanuel Church

A new monthly gathering of youth and children’s leaders in Warwick also began in September 2025, with 17 delegates from 5 churches meeting together. Out of those conversations has

Page 9

come the planning of a town-wide prayer event for Warwick schools and a town-wide Youth Alpha course — both of which will take shape in the year ahead.

Andy continues to record The Heart of a Youth Leader podcast each week — short ten-minute episodes to encourage those serving in youth and children’s ministry to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and to invest in their own spiritual walk as well as those of the young people they lead. Episodes reach around 30 listeners each week, with audiences continuing to grow the longer an episode has been available — a steady and faithful investment in leaders across the country.

As we look back on 2025, we do so with deep gratitude — for a team who gave themselves wholeheartedly to this work; for volunteers who gave their time generously; for churches who trusted us to walk alongside them; for young people who opened their hearts to God; and above all, for His faithfulness in providing for and sustaining the work of Thrive. We look ahead to 2026 with expectation and faith.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The detailed finances of Thrive Youth Ministries are reflected in the financial statements which follow on later pages with the associated notes. Due to increased turnover the financial statements have been prepared under the historic costs convention rather than "Receipts and Payments" basis which was used for all prior accounting periods. This review serves as a summary of the more detailed accounts.

Total income for the year was £268,129, an increase of over 11% from last year (£240,879). This is due to the continued support of major donors such as the King Henry fund and includes the impact of the various courses and events which have been run throughout the year. Income from donations and grants were £225,927, an increase of 8% from last year (£208,927). These gifts, which represent the generosity of both individual, local churches, have where possible, been further supported by Gift Aid. Donations were supplemented this year with significant grant funding from the Hinchley Trust and F G Charitable Trust which contributed to the running and further growth of Thrive and with some successful local fundraising initiatives, for example “Three Peaks for Thrive”. For all the gifts both large and small the trustees extend their gratitude both to the givers and to our God the provider.

Page 10

In the pursuit of the vision set out above Thrive Youth Ministries has expended £244,026 this year an increase of £23,714 from 2024. At £198,206 (£181,212), the cost of salaries, pensions, national insurance and expenses were the majority of this expenditure. Salaries were increased generally in line with inflation at the beginning of 2025 and over the course of the year staff turnover has included one resignation, three recruits and various adjustments to part-time hours. The trustees continue to believe that they should seek to be as generous as possible in the remuneration of staff to reflect the generosity of God’s grace to Thrive Youth Ministries. The trustees also recognise that increased staff numbers will be required to deliver the vision given to Thrive and continue to plan accordingly.

With a full year of an expanding programme of courses and events, the income and expenses associated with these have continued to increase. Thrive Youth Ministries continue to set course fees to cover all costs, but we are conscious that as venue rates increase this will place increasing pressure on those churches and parents who pay these fees. Thrive Youth

Page 11

Ministries ran a youth weekend in January 2026 with income and expenses for the youth weekend spanning between 2025 and 2026. All liabilities and all course fees pending have been accrued to December 2025 and a summary of income and expenses is given below. Also shown are details of a similar event run in January 2025, to provide a prior year comparison.

Income Expenses
Thrive Youth Weekend 2025 27,511 25,437
Thrive Youth Weekend 2026 33,260 30,985

The net result for the year 2025 was a surplus of income over expenses of £24,103 which is an encouragement to the trustees that God’s provision for the expanding work of Thrive is continuing. When the 2025 surplus is added to bank and deposit balances brought forward from 2024 the Net Assets at the end of December 2025, including creditors and liabilities, totalled £129,726.

As Thrive Youth Ministries ends 2025 with this healthy balance the trustees must continue to look to God as the sole provider for Thrive and for His leading of the ministry into 2026 and beyond. The General Fund, so excluding course costs and fees, budget set for 2026 income of c.£293,000 to deliver nil deficit in the year, so the trustees and staff again step out in faith that He will continue to support the work. The trustees continue to be aware of the need to further extend a regular giving donor base and to make applications for grant funding when appropriate, the development of the fundraising strategy for Thrive Youth Ministries remains focused on these.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of Thrive Youth Ministries to maintain a balance of funds which equates to at least three months payments, in 2026 this is c. £75,000 and the balance held at the end 2025 exceeds this target. It is also the policy of Thrive Youth Ministries that if the cash balance at the end of any month reduces below £50,000 the Treasurer informs all trustees.

RISK STATEMENT

The Trustees and Chief Executive have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees and a larger volunteer base is exposed. Appropriate general and public liability insurance has been obtained. Operational risks associated with the ministry activities and the holding of events have been reviewed and appropriate guidelines and policies agreed to ensure that any risk is minimised.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the Trustees of Thrive Youth Ministries, charity number 1145794.

On accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025, set out on pages 14-15.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
