OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s purpose as set out in the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association is ‘the advancement of the Christian faith worldwide.’ We provide services that encourage the recognition and celebration of the uniqueness of every individual, created in the image of God.

OUR VISION

That every child and young person would love their God-created uniqueness and be confident in their own voice and place in the world.

OUR MISSION

To provide early intervention services that enable young people to explore who they are, what is right for them and to confidently pursue their chosen path in life.

OUR STRATEGIC AIM

To improve young people’s mental well-being which will lead to better social, health and educational outcomes.

OUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

In order to improve young people’s mental well-being we:

The charity undertakes the following activities to achieve its aims and objectives:

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Board of Trustees would like to thank all staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication over the last year as well as all the charity’s supporters and funders.

The charity has continued its work of improving the social, health and educational outcomes of children and young people by nurturing and empowering them to accept and celebrate their own unique self, to find their voice and to be informed, confident and skilled to make wise life decisions.

The continuing effects of the pandemic and the closing of schools between January and March of this academic year has had a significant impact on young people’s mental health.

We are working to meet this increased demand by improving our fundraising strategy to provide financial security for the charity and recruiting and training new volunteers. We have increased our social media presence and advertised our services to all the local schools to raise awareness of the work of the Charity.

A new CEO was appointed in January 2021 and in April a manager was employed to oversee the day to day running of the different projects. Both roles are part time. Two new trustees were recruited to the Board in March bringing new areas of skill and experience. This has led to a strengthening of the strategic leadership and management of the Charity and a clear focus on the impact of the work that we do. As part of the fundraising strategy Colley Raine, a local Consultants, was appointed to advise and lead on the fundraising activity of the charity, particularly in the area of grant applications.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Board of Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in the review of our aims and objectives and the planning of our activities. Further details on our activities and how they benefit the public are detailed in the following section.

Connect Mentoring

Connect Mentoring continues to support young people and shows a significant impact on improving the mental well-being of those who are struggling and at risk of poor social, health and educational outcomes. Each young person receives a series of at least six one to one sessions with one of our mentors within school.

As the pandemic has progressed and health and social services have become increasingly overwhelmed, the work of the Connect Team has become even more important. Volunteer mentors are reporting seeing young people with more serious mental health issues as it becomes harder to access other support.

A training day in November saw 5 new mentors attending our one-day course. Each mentor generally sees between 2 and 3 students a week. Throughout the year we have averaged 15 Mentors each week, working in three local schools.

90 young people have benefitted from Connect Mentoring this year.

84% completed the full solution-focused course of at least 6 sessions.

96.7% of those who completed the course recorded a significant improvement in their well-being.

Of those who didn’t finish the course the majority were due to moving school or being referred on to other services such as counselling.

In the next year we hope to recruit an additional part time Co-ordinator for the project to increase our capacity and to begin working in other local secondary schools so that more young people have access to this service.

“Words cannot express how confident you have made me and my new found ability to express what I need to the people around me – Thank you!.”

“I benefited from mentoring as I have been able to be myself and share my emotions without being judged”.

PSHE (Personal Social Health Economic education)

The PSHE team have delivered lessons to 650 young people over the year covering topics such as ‘Media Messages and Me’, ‘Emotional Well-Being’, ‘Healthy Relationships’, ‘Sex and Consent’ and ‘Pornography and Sexting.’

With schools being closed from January to March and reduced mixing for the rest of the year, the team worked flexibly to adapt and deliver lessons over platforms such as Teams and Google Classroom, sometimes from the Life & Soul office and other times from an empty classroom within the school. They worked incredibly hard to ensure that the young people still had access to high quality PSHE even with the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.

During the summer term the team spent considerable time devising and producing a series of eight lessons that cover the Government’s new statutory RSE curriculum which are now available to schools.

“I always say that Connect mentors are such a lifeline to our students, but truly, now more so than ever, and I can only see the need becoming greater to be honest..."

“That was really helpful… It’s so good having experts come in to talk to us about this stuff!””

Assemblies

Unlimited

Unlimited is our resilience workshop aimed at pupils in Year 5 and 6 who need a boost before going on to secondary school. Topics such as Our Uniqueness, Body Image, Worries & Fears and Handling Emotions are covered in a fun, creative and interactive way. The team work with a small group of pupils in each school and tailor the content of the sessions to the needs of the children.

Due to the pandemic and schools being closed for nearly two terms the team weren’t able to work with as many groups as they usually would. Despite that, 54 children still benefitted from attending these workshops.

“I have learnt that it is more important to be kind than to be pretty”. Student

Although schools re-opened this year there were still significant restrictions in place to prevent the spread of Covid. Schools were operating a ‘Bubble’ system where pupils were kept within their own class groups with no mixing between classes. This meant that schools were not having whole-school gatherings such as large assemblies.

To ensure that good quality, fun, bible-based assemblies were still available to primary aged children the team produced 8 recorded assemblies with follow-up worksheets to encourage individual reflection. These were made available free to all schools via the charity’s website and met the governments requirement for daily collective worship. The majority of schools the team would usually visit were able to use these assemblies within each individual class.

The assemblies take biblical messages and relate them to issues the children are facing. Titles such as ‘You are loved’, ‘Firm foundations’, ‘Friendships’, ‘Hope’ and ‘You are never alone’ are all covered in the online series.

The assemblies have had 600 views in total, even if only half of those were to a class of thirty students that is 9,000 children who have heard about God and the difference he can make in their everyday lives.

“The pupils enjoyed the fact that it was based on a TEAMs scenario. They could really relate this to the lockdown learning they had experienced.”

“The children loved the accents! Adults enjoyed the word play!”

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a gentle play-based form of counselling that is effective for very young children who are struggling to deal with difficult situations and can’t always articulate what is causing their distress. This distress often comes out in emotional and behavioural issues. Our specialist play therapist works in one local school in an area of high deprivation and high levels of pupil premium funding. Many of the children she works with come from very challenging home situations. Each child spends a number of one to one sessions with our play therapist and is able to work through the things that are holding them back, in a safe, nurturing environment. This continues for as long as the child needs and results in a significant

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

We would like to increase the number of young people that we reach. We will be increasing the promotion of our projects to all the local schools by producing a brochure and contacting relevant members of staff directly. We will recruit additional admin support to administer the increase.

We would like to improve the security of our funding sources and will be working to build relationships with churches and trusts who provide grants to us to encourage their continued support. We plan to develop methods by which we can more clearly measure and demonstrate the impact of the work that we do. We are hoping to work with local businesses to promote the work that we do and encourage them to support us financially and with their business expertise.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees are pleased to report a surplus for the year of £2999 (2020- £1519) on unrestricted funds. All the charity assets were employed in pursuing the charitable objects of the charity. More detailed information is set out on the following pages.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been included as fixed assets should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months’ expenditure excluding depreciation. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Three months’ general fund expenditure based on the new financial year budget, amounted to approximately £15,000 and unrestricted reserves held as current assets at the end of the year were £21,923.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed.

One of the principal risks identified was securing sufficient funding. The decision was taken to work with a local fundraising consultant with experience in applying for grants and trusts, promotion and securing corporate sponsorship. This has proved to be effective and in the first six months new relationships have been developed with trusts and a significant amount of additional funding has been acquired.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

COVID-19 RESPONSE AND GOING CONCERN IMPACT

There have been significant proportions of the last two academic years in which schools have been closed and the work of the charity, which is entirely in schools, has largely ceased. During these times each project has worked to adapt resources so that they were Covid-secure ready for schools to open again. Lessons were also adapted so that they could be delivered remotely even whilst schools were closed or only partially open. Live assemblies were replaced by a series of recorded ones that were made available online via the charity’s website.

Due to safeguarding concerns, it was not possible for mentoring to continue whilst schools were closed. The charity has sourced training that can now be provided to volunteer mentors so that they can mentor over the phone should schools need to close for an extended period again.

As a result of this, our income from schools’ donations was reduced and due to the pandemic, no large fundraising events were able to take place which meant our overall income was lower than expected. However, we were able to take advantage of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme at various points during this year when schools were closed or unable to facilitate us, meaning that our salary expenditure was reduced to and less funding was needed for resources. We were also working from home at times and our rent for our office was able to be reduced. This has resulted in increased unrestricted funds at the year end. The trustees continue to closely monitor finances regularly and are confident that, with the ongoing support of donors and trusts, the charity’s work can continue for the foreseeable future.
