The charity maintained and grew its provision in schools acrtsss Maid5tone, Medway and 5wale, continuing to inspire the next generation to explore Chrisb'anity. This year we reached over 34,500 PLJpils compared to 33,500 pupils in 2024 and 30,000 in 2023. The team, comprising full-time paid staff, part-time'associates. and over 80 volunteers, worked incredibly hard to provide our seNices with enthusiasm and commitment. The number of paid staff remained constant throughout the year but we did See a rise in volunteer5 which C￿ated new opportunities and p05sibilities. At the start of 2025 our theme for collertive worship and Kids Club teaching continued to explore God s promise5, particularly His provision and protection. We explO￿d the Bible story of Jesus, miracle of feeding the 5000 and the Old Testament chararter Daniel and his protection in the lions, den. In September, we introduced a new theme exploring"The Fruits of the Spirit" It was encouraging that we delivered 379 assemblie5 throughout 2025. We also launched five new children s"Kids Clubs" in primary schools in the year, bringing our total to 18. This growth is parfjy due to the rebrand, renaming and relaunch of these clubs, previously known a5 'Kingsquads'. The dedicated work of the Kids Club coordinator and engagement coordinator, in engaging and empowering new volunteers from churches, has been instrumental In the establishment of these new groups. Additionally 30 workshops were delivered in primary schools, five more than the previous year. These covered "The Teachings of Jesus" The Existence of God- and "Money Matter5" which are aimed at Key Stage 2 and incorporate required elements of the RE and SMSC teaching syllabus. Our seasonal provisions were a resounding success in 2025. At Easter, KSI pupi15 enjoyed a 'Story Workshop, featuring storytelling and craft while KS2 pupils participated in a reflective workshop called 'Experience Easter,. Both sessions shared the Easter story's narr3ts.ve and themes in an age-appropriate and engaging manner. A totsl of 48 Easter sessions were delivered. This years Christmas show, 'The Stsr of Bethlehem,, captivated 38 enthusiastic and joyful audiences, reaching nearly 9,000 pupilsl We continued to offer activities to secondary schools in the Maidstone area. This included the student mentoring programme, which involved 18 trained mentors (including 6 new ones) supporting 70 pupils {48 In 2024) across four schools. Additionally, we established three 'PrayerSpaces' to provide young people with a safe place to refiett and find peace amidst the pressures of t*nage life. The secondary schools. work at The Family Trust relies heav11y on volunteers to suptM)rt the stsff team. Chequer Tree Camp, our annual summer residential camp, was also a success. This year, 19 volunteers supported 44 children over a single week. The teaching frtused on how God can achieve the imtx)ssible, and the theme was "A summer of records" which influenced the challenges where teams competed for points in various activities, ensuring a fun-filled experience for all, Throughout the camp, campers explored and developed their understanding of the chrisb.an faith, and we were blessed that two campers chose to follow Christ. on￿ again, we can only be encouraged by the prtwress we have made in 2025 towards our v1sion and look forward to reporting positively on achievements in 2026, along with new plans.
