Trustee's Annual Report

Achievements and performance during the year

During this last period of account, we have continued to visit churches, organisations and charities to support youth leaders and deliver sessions to their young people. Our sessions have enabled young people to consider how to better support one another, be positive citizens in society whilst exploring how faith and the Church can help them.

We continued with the rhythm of organising residential gatherings twice a year for young people from Leeds and Bradford. Each residential has sung worship, inspirational speakers, a considerable amount of local community action and fun times together. During the residential, we help young people to take part in activities that benefit and engage with a local community. This has included visiting elderly care homes, running fun days, litter picking and cleaning up school grounds. They provide a great opportunity to promote community cohesion as we bring together over 10 groups from across diverse communities and backgrounds. We also bring all the young people together for an evening gathering in the summer to have lots of fun together and as a way to mark the achievements within the group. This year we organised a summer BBQ with inflatables and games together. We deliberately place these gatherings in places where smaller churches that don’t have big resources or those that are connected to deprived areas can link in.

We organise monthly breakfasts for youth leaders in Bradford and co-host similar gatherings with other charities in Leeds. We use these as an opportunity to bring youth leaders together to consider the needs of the cities, share good practice and support one another.

We also seek to offer ongoing bespoke support to local Youth and Children’s leaders. Over the past year, we have offered mentoring and coaching both formally and informally and we have provided space and opportunity for youth and children’s leaders to reflect and develop their professional practice. This has enabled leaders to consider their motivations, opportunities and timescales and has encouraged them to develop in their roles and in the support that they offer children and young people in their care.

Over the past period of account, we have supported schools in exploring faith and helping young people to consider their perspective on important life issues. We use digital innovation such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality alongside innovative session plans to explore the Christian faith and the RE curriculum. We have helped young people to explore the key values of their school by delivering full school ethos and retreat days.

We have started working to develop some new Augmented Reality resources in collaboration with the Church of England to help children and families to reflect and develop an understanding of their personal faith and the Christian understanding of prayer. This resource will be launched in May 2020.

We have continued to regularly resource a chaplaincy in Bradford and a school in Leeds. We have also continued to produce high quality digital resources that can be used by children, young people and families to explore faith and values. One resource that has been ongoing over this year and will be released in the coming months, is a digital resource for the Church of England’s Thy Kingdom Come initiative. This will be used by children and families to explore why Christians pray.

It has been wonderful to see networks grow and to continue to connect with schools, youth settings and churches. This included visiting 12 youth groups a week to deliver sessions, delivering a range of full school days and being a visiting speaker at residentials. We anticipate that we have again connected with over 2500 children and young people in different settings.

Trustee's Annual Report

From March 2020, we entered the first national lockdown and so proactively reached out to youth leaders and churches to offer remote support. This included a range of evening and day time zoom sessions that explored various points of interest and concern including emotional wellbeing for children and young people, ways to connect with young people remotely and through detached youth work and also facilitated a session in relation to Black Lives Matters.

Over this period of time, we took our gatherings online and did all we could to make them engaging and interactive. This helped groups across Leeds and Bradford to stay connected and provided space for them to explore faith and have fun together. These gatherings were a great opportunity to improve the wellbeing of young people.

We also delivered online sessions to local groups to help them to keep engagement and to promote wellbeing over a time that was difficult and isolating for many children and young people.

Finance Review

The financial position of the charity at 5 April 2019 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:

17 Months 12 Months 17 Months 12 Months

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP).

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity.

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

• All voluntary income from supporters are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities.

• Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

• Income resources from charitable trading activities such as the letting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up (as the point of entitlement).

• Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and the donation is material to the accounts.

• Gifts in Kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.

• Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the charity is not included in the accounts but is described in the accounts.

• Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable.
