Trustees Annual Report
Legal Structure of the Charity
The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in England & Wales. The governing document of the charity is the constitution of the CIO as approved by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW).
There are no restrictions in the governing documents on the operation of the Charity or on its investment powers other than those imposed by Charity Law.
Trustees are recruited and appointed by the charity by a majority vote of existing trustees at any of the trustee's meetings with a quorate attendance. The governing document trustees serve a maximum three year term until they must be reappointed by the board. A trustee can serve for a maximum of three terms.
Public Benefit
The trustees have given their due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.
Objects and Activities of the Charity
To advance the Christian religion, in particular, but not exclusively through the training and support of young people and youth leaders.
Achievements and Performance During the Year
Staff matters and recruitment
Elliemae Hebden did not return after maternity leave, resigning in February 2025 but agreed to take on freelance social media and communications work for the charity.
Three new staff were appointed or took up employment during the reporting period; Emma Kennedy (09/09/2024), Oke Isiakpere and Mark Wheeler in March 2025.
MG engaged with Aurora training, delivered virtually by Sheffield Diocese, paying upfront for all Pioneer Youth and Children’s Workers to participate with the course material on a portfolio basis with the option to complete within one year or over three years. The board of trustees agreed to implement an incentivisation programme and consider performance-based increases for those staff not participating in the Aurora training.
Church contracts
During the reporting period MG is in contract with seven churches to provide youth and children’s work, families/intergenerational work or mentoring.
These churches are; Otley Parish Church (18 hours per week), Rothwell Baptist Church (12 hours per week), St Peter’s Bramley (12 hours per week), Oakwood and St Paul’s Shipley (6-8 hours per week).
All Saints Ilkley and St. Mark's Harrogate both contracted for mentoring, meaning they received 8 coaching sessions/youth group leading of 2 hours per month. The contract with St. Mark’s came to an end in July 2025.
The contract with St. Chad’s and St Richard’s came to an end in September 2025.

Missional Generation
Year Ended 31st August 2025
Trustees Annual Report
MG developed a policy on working with churches on theologically sensitive matters, which the trustees contributed to.
Facilitating youth and children workers breakfasts
MG continued to host monthly online and in-person prayer gatherings for youth and children’s workers in Leeds and Bradford. These have been special times of connection and prayer.
Events
MG delivered three residential weekend events for young people (Mission United Faith in Life, MUFIL) over the reporting period. Using a structure and resources previously designed, MG hosted Year 6 to Year 7 transition parties and gatherings with six churches in Leeds under the banner of Sense of Adventure. The combined number of attendees at these two events was just below 80.
Speaking at events, training and conferences
Ben Jones was asked to speak at Summer Madness in June 2025 and several conferences during the reporting period, namely; Evangelical Alliance Perspectives webinar, to lead multiple Church of England Children & Youth Prayer on a weekly basis, Digital Connect with Church of Ireland Youth Department and Stronger Together.
Digital and other contracts
MG continued to develop digital partnerships with a range of potential clients, not all of which resulted in contracts but did strengthen our working networks. Contracts included:
-
Social media content and in-person content at Summer Madness and two other in-person training/equipping gatherings for the Church of Ireland Youth Department.
-
Hosted the venue for over 1000 Key Stage 2 children at New Wine in August 2025
-
Conducted and presented research on the Northern Saints and The Lord’s Prayer at one of their events at St. George’s, Leeds.
-
Ben Jones was contracted for consultancy work with St. Thomas’s Lancaster to support their recruitment campaign.
MG continued to develop Aice, the AI tool for children’s and youth workers, contracting freelance developers and drawing upon the expertise of trustees and other skilled individuals.
Trustees
Trustees quarterly to receive updates and reports on the work of the charity, discuss various matters and vote on issues or delegate work where required.
Trustee Rev Emma Wilkinson was appointed as safeguarding lead and specific email set up for reporting purposes. Trustees oversaw the development of Aice, the AI tool developed for youth and children’s workers, to ensure it has a robustly Christian foundation and output.
Trustees developed an Employee Handbook which was issued in February 2025.

Missional Generation
Year Ended 31st August 2025
Trustees Annual Report
Rev Derek Jones vacated the chair position at the end of the reporting period, with Ali Gilfillan taking on the responsibility in September 2025.
Funding
MG applied for funding to the St. Christopher’s Trust and Growing Faith but were unsuccessful (August and November 2025 respectively). The grant awarded to Ben Jones through Access to Work to help pay for a job aide support worker was stopped in February 2025 and remained in the appeals process at the time of reporting, with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) agreeing only to reinstate a grant to the value of five hours per week.
Plans for the Future
Towards the end of the reporting period, the charity undertook recruitment to align the face to face youth work of the charity under one worker, freeing up the CEO to focus on the digital and creative contract work. This role was taken up after the year end, with an existing staff member given additional responsibilities for events management.
The charity reflected on the work with New Wine at their summer festival and considered this investment in terms of time and finance. The decision was taken to step back from this investment in August 2026.
The plans changed materially after year end, see Post Year End Events section below
Finance Review
The organisation has been actively seeking funding for the operational work of MG. The charity has increased the number of regular donors by two and existing regular donors have increased their monthly donation.
The trustees worked with Wyatt & Co to present accounts and the finances were reviewed at quarterly trustees meetings.
MG has been in appeal with the DWP under the Access to Work scheme due to the pause in the grant previously given to cover the finance required for a job aide support worker. This appeal is based on the understanding that DWP have made an administrative error. A verbal promise was made to allow the claim to be backdated but MG did not secure the expected funding in the reporting period.
The financial position of the charity on 31st August 2025 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:
| Net income / (expenditure) Restricted funds Unrestricted funds Total Funds |
2025 2024 (33,487) (318) 1,283 1,000 39,953 73,723 |
|---|---|
| 41,236 74,723 |
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

Missional Generation
Year Ended 31st August 2025
Trustees Annual Report
three months' running costs. Reserves held on the 31st of August 2025 were £39,953 (2024: £73,723) this is 2.7 months of unrestricted expenditure (2023: 5 months).
Post Year End Events
After the year end, Missional Generation were in a state of material uncertainty. As noted above, reserves fell below three months’ running cost. There were several factors:
-
Conclusion of church contracts at St Chads and St Richards
-
Unexpected cessation and extremely slow resolution of the DWP Access to Work grant, resulting in a large and steadily growing funding gap
-
Increases in costs in line with increased cost of living
-
Lower income from digital and innovation work compared to prior work, reflective of the focus the CEO had given the face-to-face youth work side of the charity
When the trustees were aware of the magnitude of the situation, a Serious Incident Report was raised to the charity commission. A period of intense scrutiny and review of operations followed. Immediate cost saving measures were taken and the trustees considered strategic options for the future of the charity. The trustees agreed to pivot the charity to focus more heavily on the “We Resource” aspect of our vision, building on the strengths and track record we have in this space. A redundancy consultation period was started, and the painful decision was taken to make all four Senior and Pioneer Youth and Children’s Worker roles redundant. This was communicated in December 2025, with a final day of 31[st] March 2026 for staff.
We thank the staff and our partner churches for their professionalism and commitment to serving God and young people during this difficult time and are delighted that all four staff have secured employment with other organisations.
This represents a new season and a new focus for Missional Generation. We will continue to resource the local, regional and national church. This will be done through consultancy, resource development, and our new AI youth work assistant: Aice.
Aice is under development and in testing. We see this as a major opportunity to resource paid and volunteer youth workers, streamlining the planning, reporting and administration of their roles, so they can focus more on connecting with God and children and young people. As of early 2026 it is in alpha testing, and we are excited to see it develop.
Going Concern Consideration
Following the actions taken above, 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).

Missional Generation

Trustees Annual Report
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:-
-
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;
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.

Independent Examiners Report
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Missional Generation ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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.
