Structure and Trustee Appointment The Wave is registered as a charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its constitution and a Board of Trustees. The trustees are supported by a Council of Reference drawn from local people and church leaders. The Trustees meet usually once every other month. The Trustees are appointed by the Board. The aims in recruiting new trustee are:_ a. To find Trustees with the right expertise and commitment to further assist the Wave in achieving its objectives. b. To seek as wide a representation as possible on the Board of Trustees from the constituent churches of 'churches together in Swanage.. At the beginning of September 2024 the Wave operated through a team of two professional Youth workers Richard Docherty The Emmanuel Baptist church Youth Minister As of October 2024 he was no longer a partner of the Wave and became solely line managed by Emmanuel Baptist Church. Hannah Fenton - Lane The Wave's school worker left our employment at the end of November 2024. Objective During the Year The Wave's for the year beginning September 2024 To consult with Churches together in Swanage, schools and supporters of the Wave on the services and support the Wave could offer and a seamless transition to our new way of working. Activities and Achievements In response to financial difficulties the charty has had to reconsider our operating model. In October we had to say goodbye to our school's worker and closed our direct interaction with schools mentoring and youth work. The Trustees are considering the future strategy of the charty as a grant making organisation for local community faith- based initiatives targeted at childieri and youth. As part of this process, we communicated with Churches together in Swanage. The Purbeck School. The Swanage School. local youth group leaders and our financial supporters. Wrthout further financial support we were unable to continue with our direct school's work and made our school's worker redundant. From November 2024 we have slowly transitioned to being a grant making organisation. We began to formulate the principles under which we will award grants and the mechanisms by which they could be applied for. During the year we received l O applications for graTrts of which 9 have been Suc￿sSfUl. Examples of how the funding was used to support youth/young people's work in the area are:_ Remix and Rooted (Emmanuel Baptist Church: youth groups aimed at young teens) with refreshments. Methodist Church Toddlers Group with new play toys. This organisation supports new mums in the Swanage area. Resources for the Christian Children's work at Swanage Carnival. Public Benefrt. Safeguarding and risk Assessment The Trustees have complied with the duty in section17 of the Charities act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. All Trustees are Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate (DBS). The designated Safe guarding Officer acts as a Consultant DBS issues where needed. New Trustees are required to complete a Trustee Eligibility Declaration and also receive induction materials, including copies of the latest accounts and Board Minutes and are directed to the Charity commission documents on their website - in particular The Essential Trustee (CC3) We require all organisations applying for grants to be able to show a current safeguarding policy. All applicants are responsible for their own risk assessment and food hygiene policies. Financial risks are managed by the regular examination of the monthly Treasurer's report. 6. Financial Review Income has remained stable throughout the year at around 400 pounds per month from our regular supporters. This is sufficient to sustain expenses to support regular youth club and schools work activities. One off grants have been made to support youth activities in accordance with the charity objectives. The trustees consider the Charity is an ongoing concern. No trustee or connected person received any remuneration or benefit from the Charity during the year. No funds are held as a Custodian Trustee.
