annual report and audited accounts for the
above year ending 31st March 2022.
The Project operates within the Charity
Commission guidelines and became a
registered charity on the 14th March 2014.
The object of the project for the public
benefit is to advance the Christian faith in
Dorset and in other such parts of the
United Kingdom and the world as the
charity trustees may from time to time
decide.
We aim to do this by working with local
churches, schools, other organisations and
individuals. StreetLight is a community
resource, initially focussed around an
indoor skate park and cafe, providing a
local facility that did not previously exist in
Wimborne - a meeting space for all.
In setting our objectives and planning our
activities the trustees have given careful
consideration to the Charity Commission's
general guidance on public benefit. Since
opening StreetLight to the general public
three areas of guidance have been
particularly helpful to focus our report on:| 1) **'Managing risks of harm'** , identifying them, minimising the risk of harm and making sure that any harm that might arise is a minor consequence of carrying out the purposes of the project, 2) **‘Park Usage’** balancing the hours we are available to the public with resources and 3) ' **Advancement of religion',** and demonstrating how the activities we provide fall into this category. **1 Managing risk** Regular risk assessments take place in order to identify risk, appropriate measures are then put in place to minimise risk. For example, the park is checked for defects before every session and all health and safety protocol is adhered to. In order to minimise any risk to the public, staff or volunteers, there is always a first aider on site during skate opening hours. Over the last year first aid training has been provided, as a result 5 people have gained a qualification in first aid who otherwise may not have had one. Similarly, 8 people have gained a Level 2 Food and Hygiene certificate. Also 1 of our staff have completed and passed their Fire Marshall qualification. The project continues to distribute its induction packs for all new volunteers who receive on the job training. The benefit of this is that volunteers have been 'up skilled' and given confidence for their roles in the cafe or marshalling on the park where they serve the public. The project is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the public. Therefore, all volunteers and staff are DBS checked prior to commencing volunteering. In addition to this all Staff have received Radicalisation Training and GDPR training. In order to minimise risk there are regulations for use of the park that riders sign up to and are required to abide by, for instance, wearing a helmet at all times whilst on the park. The benefit of this is safety, minimising the risk and making sure that any harm that may arise is a minor consequence of carrying out the purposes of the project. In order to ensure this does not prohibit some members of the public from making use of the facilities, as they may not have protective equipment or scooters/skateboards of their own, there is a wide range of helmets, knee and elbow protectors, along with scooters and skateboards for use at the project, free of charge. Streetlight provides 6 hours of free skate park riding available to the public every week. In offering facilities to the public where risk is managed and therefore any harm should be minor. We have found that we continue to grow within the community as schools, churches and other organisations hire us and trust us. As a consequence many more members of the public use the premises and have learnt to skate, been able to relax, meet friends, pool and attend events. The provision of our state of the art children's area with soft play benefits families with under 6s, with their younger children being able to play in a safe and nurturing environment, whilst their older siblings use the skate park or the space can be used by parents during the school day with younger children. Itsy Dance school, a toddler and baby group meet twice weekly attracting between 1522 children. Our volunteers range from the age of 12-76 years which provides a wealth of life experience as they support and learn from each other as well as serving the community in their voluntary roles. 6 youth volunteers have been able to use their time volunteering as part of their community service for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Another 4 school pupils have taken part in work experience at the project. Many have used the skills and experienced gained in volunteering at the project in job applications for paid work. One recent work experience person joined our volunteer team. **2 Park Usage** There have been over 6000 visits to the park in the last year. The hours of the park are altered during the school holidays and relevant activities such as Summer £1 per hour riding. July 2021 we installed air conditioning in the skate park funded by an individual who sees the value of the work we do at Streetlight, and this increased our foot fall over the hot summer. We continue to provide facilities for local schools, including, Allenbourn, Castle Court, QE School. In addition, Beaucroft School, which provides education for children with special needs and learning difficulties, attends a weekly social and life skills session in the park’s café. The café is used as a safe place for supervised meeting for cared for children and their parents. **3 The Ministry of Streetlight** The whole project exists as a practical expression of the Christian faith. The main purpose of the project as our object states is ministry, seeking to share the gospel with young people adults and families. Therefore, as a project we have run courses such as youth alpha and run weekly bible studies, at which the Christian faith is explained and discussed. We have also run one off or less regular events for young people and adults, such as craft nights with a Christian message as part of the evening, men's and women's events with testimonies of faith from Christians at the events. Some of these events are joint with other Christian organisations or churches and some are run solely by StreetLight staff and volunteers. This is our Vision: For every young person and family in Wimborne to hear and experience the love and light of Jesus. This is our Mission: To enable young people and families to hear and experience God’s love in a supportive, safe, friendly and fun environment. We have a heart for our community, engaging with schools, churches, youth projects and other local organisations. StreetLight is a parachurch organisation and as such seeks to work with other churches as a resource, providing encouragement and the 'advancement of the Christian faith in Dorset'. The Project Director, Andy Putt, meets regularly and works with local church Youth Workers in a group called the Way (Wimborne Area Youth). At StreetLight we are here to help and develop young people and support them in their lives, having hundreds of young people makes this more challenging so we have team rider and Junior teams. This included those who regularly attend StreetLight and want to develop and improve their skills on and off the park. Being part of these teams means they have sessions at StreetLight just for them with support from the staff and volunteers. We also do support others who attend the Centre and give lots of time and encouragement to them. We have this year gone on 3 trips to additional parks where the team ride and enjoy community together and we always enjoy a meal together. Andy is a Chaplain at Queen Elizabeth School, where he provides help, mentoring and advice to students Two days per week. This has helped forge a close link between the school and StreetLight and has provided much needed support for young people with anxiety issues, depression and troubled home lives. Andy has also developed the school Christian services over the last year (Welcome/Remembrance/Carol and Easter). Sharing the Gospel message in a relevant way to the students, staff and parents. 2 different churches have hired the premises in the last year for events that advance the Christian faith. All volunteers are also made aware of the statement of faith in our Constitution. |Statement confirming

Park in the last year. These are
predominantly the young people from the
local community that the Park was set up
for.
Over the year numbers of soft play users
have increased markedly. And we are
seeing an increase in locals and families
staying for a lengthy session.| We provide a much needed facility in a safe controlled environment for children from a range of backgrounds. We continue to maintain our high food standards with the level 5 Food and Hygiene Award from the Food Standard Agency. Over the last years the summer has been a quiet time for the skate park and café. In order to enable local families to use the park more we made a decision to make the park £1 per hour for people to use during the summer holidays. Lots of local families who struggle to entertain and pay for activities really applicated the support of being able to use the centre on a regular basis, while others were happy to send their children to a safe caring environment. **Financial achievements** The organisation regularly reviews its finances to ensure it is operating on a sound financial footing. Over this year we have increased our reserves for any future challenges and growth. **Community** StreetLight is well established in the local community, and sees a significant number of locals coming to the centre on a regular basis. During the last year we have run a large number of children's parties. Between 1 and 2 every weekend. Streetlight has been hired for private functions by several different community groups, schools and individuals. Events such as, All wrapped up Christmas event, were attended by many StreetLight families from a non-church background. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
