Achievements and Performance During the Year
Supporting Local Churches
We continue to support local churches in developing their youth and children's provision by providing them with Missional Generation workers who invest 6, 12, or 18 hours weekly to aid in this development. During the year, we supported seven churches, of which four continued into September 2025, with contracts other churches coming on board outside of this reporting period. This support helps encourage churches to grow in confidence in how they connect with children and young people within the church setting in partnership with local schools.
During this reporting period we implemented a coaching strategy for staff, where experienced staff visit a children’s / youth work session to observe the staff member’s practice. The intention is to enhance support and professional development, and insights from these visits will be discussed during line management meetings to better resource the work.
Supporting Local Youth and Children’s Leaders
We continue to offer comprehensive mentoring and coaching services for youth and children's leaders who work in local churches. Our goal is to support these leaders in developing their youth and children's ministries through creative and innovative approaches.
Our mentoring and coaching programme includes meeting with leaders five times a year, providing a structured and consistent framework for growth and development. During these sessions, we offer targeted mentoring and coaching designed to equip leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively nurture and develop faith in young people within their specific contexts.
Through this ongoing commitment to mentoring and coaching, we strive to enhance the overall quality and effectiveness of youth and children's ministries, ultimately contributing to the spiritual growth and development of young people in local churches and Christian organisations, which is in direct alignment with our charitable goals.

School Interventions
A key element of our charity objectives is to develop school interventions and, although one our schools closed their working agreement with us, we continue to work in primary and secondary schools. To fulfil our charitable objectives, we develop input for various schools at lunch time clubs, after school clubs, assemblies and collective worship which are all designed to support children and young people to explore their faith journey and build resilience in their emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Team Changes
Four members of staff tendered their resignations during this period either due to a change in personal circumstances or as a result of the completion of digital contracts. However, we initiated a recruitment campaign for a bookkeeper and PA and successfully employed a part-time bookkeeper in January 2024 and filled the vacant PA role after year end.
Camps
We continue to support local churches through our youth and children’s camps, residentials and daylong camps, which have significantly helped build support and resilience within the different groups we assist across Leeds and Bradford. These camps and events provide invaluable opportunities for young people to connect, learn, and grow in a supportive environment outside their regular home, school or extracurricular settings. The experience not only strengthens the bonds within the group but also nurtures their personal and spiritual development.
These camps are central to the fulfilment of our objectives and because they offer significant benefits to the young people and children we support, we plan include offering more residentials as a key component of our programme. To make it easier for local churches to engage with these events we aim to share the responsibilities, costs and challenges associated with organising them. By doing so, we hope to alleviate some of the logistical and financial burdens that can often hinder such valuable initiatives, ensuring that more young people have access to these transformative experiences.
Year 6 Camps
We facilitated a weekend away for a group of around 25 Year 6 pupils aimed at supporting them as they prepare to transition to Year 7. To extend the support, we organised a reunion of this cohort, focusing on developing resilience and confidence during this crucial transition time, this enabled the young people to deeply reflect on their transition to secondary school. We aim to continue to offer this camp and reunion annually to Year 6s.
Mission United Faith in Life
Our core events, such as Mission United Faith in Life, continue to provide regular opportunities for young people to connect with a wide range of peers from across Leeds and Bradford, explore the life of faith and make a positive difference to the local community. The residential events have taken place twice in this reporting period with a third evening celebration following up.
Not only do these events enable young people to develop friendships they also have the opportunity to develop new skills and interests as well as build their self-confidence, self-worth and resilience.
Eco-Gen Initiative
We have continued this initiative with two churches in Leeds. We have also developed workshops and facilitated conversations with young leaders under 18, youth and church leaders to empower and enable them to guide children and young people in their commitment to respond to the climate crisis in their locality.

Digital Contracts
We secured contracts to design and create a series of digital products for a range of church and parachurch organisations. These products, while varied, are all aimed at supporting children and young people to explore the life of faith, be encouraged in their personal significance and develop resilience. This is a continuation of our charitable objectives and is a feature of the work we are committed to fulfilling.
National Contracts
We have been fortunate to continue to partner with national bodies such as New Wine and were given the responsibility to run the children’s provision at their week-long summer festival, catering to 1500 families of children of primary school age. The New Wine app we designed supports these families year-round using games to support Biblical conversations, whether at home or at school.
In addition, we extended our partnership with the Church of Ireland Youth Department, designing and producing print materials for them to distribute to their extensive network of paid and voluntary youth and children’s workers. We supported them with the development of their social media content, which reaches and encourages young people and young adults. We also delivered workshops and talks at their week-long summer festival for teenagers and young adults, their annual mental health resourcing week and consultancy work throughout the year.
These national contracts allow us to share our expertise and stay connected to wider trends and fresh ways of working within the sector and consequently allows us to refine our support to local youth and children’s workers.
Support Networks
We continue to host and co-ordinate monthly networking and support meetings for youth and children’s workers in Leeds and Bradford, online and in-person.
These networking meetings allow us to weave in the data we have gathered in the face-to-face work with children and young people, apply theory and theology and feedback our learning with our peers in the locality.
Through these gatherings we strive to enhance the overall quality and effectiveness of youth and children's ministries, ultimately contributing to the spiritual growth and development of young people in local churches and Christian organisations.
Fundraising Strategy
We continue to work on our fundraising efforts and while we have had mixed success in funding bids we are confident that the long-term relationships with our existing, regular supporters will bolster our applications for funding from larger funding bodies.
This work supports the development of our charity with the aim of supporting local churches which have budgetary constraints but are committed to providing youth and children's work in their community.
Our partnerships locally and nationally support our fundraising strategy.

Governance and Trustees
Our trustees board continues to support the charitable aims of the organisation and we are fortunate to have sufficient support from a range of willing individuals. Their expertise and input enables Missional Generation to proceed with the work across the North of England. The group meets four times per year with an agenda, reports and minutes generated to accurately reflect and record the work of the organisation.
Plans for the Future
Growing the MG Worker Model/ Proposed Plan for Future Growth
Despite four staff members tendering their resignations during this reporting period, the organisation continues to prioritise the delivery of high-quality, tailored youth and children’s work across Leeds and Bradford, as well as the support of practitioners across the M62 corridor.
An internal promotion of one staff member to a youth and children’s work role supports this, and we draw upon our wealth of experience and depth of skills to successfully absorb the impact of the changes to the staff complement. We also submitted a proposal to our board of trustees to commence a recruitment campaign for two youth and children’s workers.
Missional Generation is committed to cultivating a robust team of dedicated youth and children’s workers who are capable of making a lasting difference in the lives of young people and children throughout Leeds, Bradford and beyond.
Ongoing Support for Youth and Children Leaders
We plan to continue investing in and supporting youth and children’s workers in Leeds and Bradford and across the M62 corridor. Specifically, we are well-placed to continue developing the coaching and mentoring offer to fellow practitioners in the region, as well as the direct support our team gives to paid and voluntary youth and children’s leaders in churches more locally.
We purposefully promote investment into wider networks through our consulting, teaching and facilitating with the aim of supporting youth and children's workers.
Resource Development
We continually develop and design resources through our partnership alliances that align with our charitable objectives, supporting local churches to effectively deliver youth and children’s provision in groups.
Central Youth Gatherings
We are committed to the continued development of residential and daylong camps for children and young people as we recognise there is significant benefit to these opportunities for these groups to enhance their social, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Alongside the Year 6 adventure camp, we have created a regular pattern of gatherings across the year for slightly older children and young people.
We have been able to offer subsidised tickets to a number of young people to facilitate their involvement with these events. This is vital to our aims as we are committed to ensuring our events are as accessible as possible to a wide range of children and young people.

|---|---|

Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to cover three months' running costs. Reserves held on the 31st of August 2024 were £73,723 (2023: £71,966) this is 5 months of unrestricted expenditure (2023: 5 months). The Trustees are confident that future income will enable the charity to meet its foreseeable needs based on planned activity.
Going Concern Consideration
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees are confident that future income will enable the charity to meet its foreseeable needs on the basis of planned activity.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
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. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

Trustees Annual Report
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.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP 2019 FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance Costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Tangible Fixed Assets
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and at historic cost. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged on furniture and equipment which is written off on a straight-line basis over time, estimated useful live of the asset. Computer and Equipment assets are depreciated on a four year straight line basis.
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Operating Leases
Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
There have been no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimates) made in the process of preparing the financial statements. There have been no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
