Director’s Report
This year we have taken the opportunity as staff, trustees, and young people to look at our strategy for the future. A number of interesting discussions allowed us to draw conclusions about the fundamental purpose of Bath Youth for Christ. We have always been passionate about working with every young person that we meet, whether that be in a youth club or a school setting. An integral part of the organisation is about sharing our Christian faith through providing youth sessions that build self-esteem and worth in young people. Through interaction and engagement, we seek to listen to young people, finding out their needs and helping them to identify how Christian hope can be built in their lives.
ENCOURAGE BELONGING
INSPIRE HOPE
BUILD COMMUNITY
Our new vision for Bath Youth for Christ is “Building hope in young people’s lives.”
Our mission is:
-
Encourage Belonging
-
Inspire Hope
-
Build Community
We believe this strategy will help us work effectively in schools and youth projects as well as progress the Roundhill Hub project in Southdown.
We have connected with over 1,731 young people this year. We have also engaged with 441 young people for the first time through schools and youth work. Everything we do is about following God’s leading and supporting young people across the city wherever they are in life, faith and their aspirations.

Schools Work in Bath
Connect Mentoring
The 20/21 academic year was like no other we’ve ever experienced. With our team taking mentoring online, we were able to keep reaching and supporting young people through Lockdown 2 and beyond as they returned to school. We mentored over 40 young people, an increase on the previous year, which is indicative of the effect of the pandemic and lockdowns on young people.
As soon as possible we made our way safely back into schools to provide a more engaging and normal experience, with the added extras of masks, sanitising and lots of fresh air. It really was a blessing to stand alongside and support so many young people across 4 state schools in the city through an unprecedented challenging time for all.
continue to support young females in recognising their worth, value and importance in today’s world.
Assemblies
By December 2020 another lockdown precluded the opportunity to lead Christmas school assemblies. However, several schools expressed the desire to have a Christian Christmas message delivered to their young people. Eden and Katie, as well as Tim Rudge, youth worker at Life Church Bath, each made a short film of the Christmas message for schools to use. Combined, these films portrayed the message of Christmas and the reality of the season, that we are never alone.
Breakfast Club
Self-esteem courses
One of the knock-on effects of the various lockdowns during the year was the lack of opportunity for Year 7 pupils to form friendships. Schools noticed that girls appeared to lack the confidence and selfassurance needed to make friends. In response to this and at schools’ request we developed and delivered a knew self-esteem course for 6 separate groups. Along with the Shine project this helped us to
The St Mark’s Breakfast Club was not able to run during the year 2020-21. We are planning to restart in September 2021 offering free toast, cereal, tea & coffee. We are grateful to Waitrose, Co-op & Tesco for their contributions as well as some local individuals & St Luke’s Church. Prior to Covid restrictions we would frequently have up to thirty children in The Sanctuary, and once word spreads, we hope to welcome back similar numbers.
The Accompanying Project
Despite the pandemic & school closures, there remained a need to support those pupils who were about to transition to the next stage of their education. St Saviour’s Junior Church School & Batheaston Church Primary School requested that Sam Packer continue to provide such support through our Accompanying Project.
Although unable to physically go into the schools at first, a bit of creativity and Zoom allowed for the support to be delivered. Sam got into a routine of delivering a craft activity to pupils’ homes in advance and the session was spent doing the activity “together” over the internet. Despite intermittent internet connections and slow computers, they all persevered.
In March, when pupils returned to school, it was so good to meet the children in person. Most importantly they were able to visit their respective Secondary Schools before starting in September.
A variety of craft activities - decorating a dinner plate with ceramic pens, making a Christmas wreath & Easter Chocolate Nest Cakes, clay, decorating a cloth shopping bag, map bunting, cross stitch sewing a Llama - and many games of Uno, Dobble & Four in a Row provided a focus which often allowed for great conversations to occur very naturally.
Once again, Sam acknowledges the privilege of spending time with those in their last year of Primary School, as well as meeting their families.
Sam Ludwell was able to continue to support one young person in Oldfield Junior School. Tapping into a love of reading, Sam helped her write and put together a fully illustrated ‘book’. The transition to Hayesfield school was very successful with lots of positive feedback from her mum who had seen how much the young person had enjoyed the sessions and had really grown in confidence and decision making.
Psalm 121 v2 says “my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven & earth” and we have certainly experienced that help this year with all the challenges of the pandemic.
With Sam Packer’s role for the next academic year changing as she takes on the position of School Chaplain at St Mark’s Secondary, and Sam Ludwell diversifying the work of Motus Dance Academy, the Accompanying Project in Bath has come to a natural end. As a team we have helped so many children settle into their new schools & make that transition more bearable for which we are very thankful.

Timsbury Youth Work - The Power of Yes
“Can we have a ‘Yes’ day today?” Jane’s youngest child asked her one morning. Her reply was “no!” – “every day is a yes day for you!” A ‘yes day’ is an idea gleaned from an American film where the parents have to say yes to everything their kids want for 24 hours.
But the truth is that there were a lot of ‘no’s’ during the year: ‘no you can’t see your friends’, ‘no you can’t go on your school trip’, ‘no you can’t go to the play park or play tennis’.
“Yes” is a powerful word. “If you are willing you can make me clean,” the leper says to Jesus in Luke 5 – Jesus says “Yes! I am willing”. Throughout the gospels Jesus said yes to people, often those who least expected it, and we know that God says “yes” to us.
So, at Youth for Christ, it is our work to say “yes” to young people, in the best way. ‘Yes, we believe in you’, ‘yes you matter’, ‘yes you can do it’, ‘yes we can help you’.
In April in Timsbury we were able to say, ‘yes’ we are going to start back with Friday night youth group, albeit in the park, and were later
able to say, ‘yes we can go back inside for youth club’. In March, the local primary school said ‘yes’ to Jane to allow her to return. She was able to work with a group of Year 5 pupils exploring issues around Friendship and Resilience, as well as helping at lunchtimes and supporting Year 6 pupils transitioning to Secondary School. We were able to give them all the Scripture Union ‘It’s Your Move’ booklet.
In June, we received a ‘yes’ from a grant funder to allow Jane to work towards running a Young Leader’s Project. She is now looking for people to say, ‘yes I’ll volunteer to help!’
In July, we were excited to say ‘Yes’ we’re starting the new Camerton group working with St Peter’s church. It was amazing to connect with families from the local estate, none of whom would attend on Sundays.
We desire to be people who say ‘Yes’. As Paul writes about Jesus, he was not ‘” Yes” and “No”, but in him it has always been “Yes”. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.’ (1 Cor 1:19-20).
Riverside Youth Club
Consistency was the word for Riverside in 2020-21…….
Throughout the year, working in partnership with Mentoring Plus, we have been able to provide a weekly session for young people. This has been in person, on Zoom and, in lockdown 3, the Thursday night meeting place was the land of Minecraft . All the young people were already playing the game and we decided a break from Zoom was needed. It was such good fun, and the game provided opportunities for creativity to shine through. There was still opportunity to chat through the difficulties of home-schooling and other challenges, such as isolation and minimal real life social interaction.
Coming into spring we did start to meet again in person on a oneto-one basis, and then the club was able to re-open, providing an opportunity to enjoy some cooking and football again. Provision of some specific funding allowed us to spend the last session of the year on the river with Bath Canoe Club. It was great to see the young people smiling and laughing and being themselves.

Southdown
Breakfast Club
Once Covid restrictions were lifted, we were able to re start Breakfast Club and immediately saw all the familiar faces coming back for hot chocolate and toast. It was really encouraging to have parents pop in to chat and tell us how much they had missed us and how appreciative they are of the project.
Motus Dance Academy
In September 2020 we appointed an Assistant Dance Coordinator – Freja George – to help Sam teach and develop the academy. Freja was a member of Motus in her teens and has enjoyed giving back to a project that supported her in the past.
Online teaching continued until the lifting of restrictions allowed the dancers to return to classes. Numbers were lower, partly explained by some young people changing schools and others starting college. The core group continued to meet and learnt dances faster than Sam & Freja could choreograph! There was a recognisable renewed energy amongst the dancers. The smaller group enabled us to work more closely with the students to build confidence and help them work on their own choreography.
Numbers did slowly increase, and we are very excited to start thinking about performances and dance shows again as well as developing our own space at the Roundhill Centre.
Adult Street Dance
A new initiative, this class quickly filled up but unfortunately had to stop a few weeks after they started due to the pandemic. The online tutorials Sam made were popular and people are keen to come back and dance together again.
Future developments
With the development of Roundhill hub, we will start to offer more classes, including a new ‘Mini’ Motus for school years 5 & 6. In addition, we will be launching lunch time dance clubs in 2 local primary schools. As requested by parents from Breakfast Club, a new lunch time adult class will start in the Autumn of 2021.
After what has felt like a very slow and frustrating year, Sam believes God is saying ‘LETS GO’! With restrictions no longer having such a physical impact on dance spaces and class sizes, it will be possible to move forward building and deepening connection & community in Southdown.

Roundhill Development Project
Since moving to the Roundhill Centre in February 2020 we have explored ways to progress our vision of developing a community hub. We have endeavoured to involve potential stakeholders in this process, including the local councillor (Paul Crossley), those who may want to use the building which include BANES council, Mentoring Plus, Oasis and the Police. We have commissioned a group of university students to conduct a community survey to determine a ‘wish list’ for the centre and look forward to using the results to further shape the project.
At the heart of our vision, the Roundhill Hub will be a place to facilitate the building of hope in young people’s lives. We see it as providing opportunities to develop relationships with not only young people, but also the wider community. The Roundhill Hub will be a Christian space that is open to all throughout the week, serving the people on our doorstep as well as those in other parts of the city. We want to be part of the solution to see the most deprived community in Bath thrive.
During the year, a business plan was put together to start to shape the project. Appointing an architect – James Grayley – was a significant step forward and we worked with him to consider
options for a new environmentally friendly welcoming facility which will provide a café and space to run our projects, those of other community organisations, as well as providing a venue for clubs and events.
As a step towards better use of the building whilst we apply for funding, we provided a space for Oasis Church Bath to run a food pantry twice a week. Not only did this meet a need in the community but helped raise the profile of Bath Youth for Christ in the area. This project will continue into the next academic year, and we hope to expand this collaborative approach.
The project costs are estimated at £1.8 million and we have started to look at sources of funding. Although a large sum, we are confident that God can provide and believe that He has a plan for something new in Southdown and Whiteway. We will be applying for grants and considering campaigns to secure funding in the next academic year.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

The Hive
Although unable to connect with the young people in the village of Peasedown St John who would benefit and thrive from having the youth club up and running, we continued to pray for them and plan for the time when they could be welcomed into the building.
From January 2021 Meg Tucker, our Intern, made and released short weekly videos for the older children and younger teenagers in the village. These included a themed craft activity to engage them, using basic materials that were hopefully readily available. The focus was on the Fruits of the Spirit, looking at them from various angles, suggesting an activity and a way for the young people to engage with God during the time they were doing that activity. There was also an opportunity for a ‘challenge’ including participating in Lent to help self-control and starting a
prayer journal. The videos were posted on the ‘Hive Youth’ YouTube page at 7:30am on Sundays!
In May we sadly said goodbye to Chris Scorah and commenced the process of recruiting a new Senior Youth Worker. Nick Blythe was appointed to the position to commence in September.
During the summer term, Meg, several volunteers, and other Bath Youth for Christ team members delivered detached youth work to begin building relationships with young people. It is our goal to reach young people and show them that they are valued and loved by the creator of all things, as well as supporting those who may need a little extra encouragement after the past challenging 18 months.
By August, after a difficult year in Covid, The Hive’s youth work was considerably closer to being up and running than the same time in 2020. The building was thriving as a community centre, with craft, sports and wellbeing groups running, as well as an in-house café, post office, and community library. The team are expectant that God will do many good things through the Hive’s work with young people. There are plans to get involved with local schools as well as local churches to build a good network and share the gospel with as many young people as possible.
Chaplaincy & Church Youth Work
During the year Eden Hunter combined the role of Multi-Faith Chaplain at Bath College, Youth Minister at St Luke’s Church, and Youth Worker.
Bath College Chaplain
This role required involvement in many aspects of the life of the college focussing on Welfare and Participation. Eden provided pastoral care and support to students and staff covering a broad range of issues such as academic struggles, mental health, faith, and questions around life and death.
To encourage student participation, he worked closely with the students’ union and other departments to deliver a fulfilling and enriching student experience. His physical presence in areas frequented by students allowed him to build a positive rapport with individuals.
Eden regularly planned and delivered college-wide events and campaigns at both the Bath and Radstock campus, usually revolving around faith-based celebrations and observances (such as Remembrance Day and Holocaust Memorial Day). He sent out weekly content (usually in written or video form) to staff and students focussing on wellbeing, encouragement, world events, and local college news. During the year he started and facilitated an active Christian Union with the aim of helping students to explore faith in a healthy way.
St Luke’s Church Youth Minister
With responsibility of building and overseeing youth provision at St Luke’s, Eden worked primarily with 10–18-year-olds.
One of the primary aspects of this role was to organise, plan, and deliver in-person sessions and events to engage with the youth both in the Church and in the surrounding area.
He ran a Sunday morning devotional meeting that focused on helping the youth explore faith in a fun and open way. This included creating lesson plans and learning materials. Eden also ran an after-school club and evening social, both of which focussed on being a safe space to build connections and have fun.
Throughout the lockdowns, when meeting in person was not possible, Eden produced weekly videos of both a fun and informative nature, shared with the youth at St Luke’s as well as with other churches in Bath.

City Wide Youth Work
During the year Eden continued to establish connections with and offer support to churches and schools in Bath, as well as mentoring year 7 boys, and carrying out detached youth work. He also worked on creative projects including graphic design and video editing. A significant achievement was establishing and being a leading member of A2: an inter-church group of youth ministries working together to encourage both youth and youth workers in the City. As part of a team, Eden facilitated monthly youth worker connect meetings, organised and delivered inter-church youth gatherings, and created a podcast for youth in Bath called Walking in the Way, to be released weekly in September 2021. https://youtube.com/ playlist?list=PLxAoR4DuX-m-cutCeFBiP2_nKqgsfcSsf
Eden completed a research project looking at how youth in Bath and Northeast Somerset have been affected by the Covid-19 restrictions, focussing on social, relational, mental, and physical wellbeing. The aim of this project is to help inform our future approach to youth and schools’ support.

Wiltshire
During the year 2020-21 Wiltshire Youth for Christ officially separated from Bath Youth for Christ, registering as a separate charity in October 2020 and completing the transition in April 2021.
A committed board of Wiltshire Trustees was established helping to ensure that the ministry and work has a strong foundation for years to come. Steve Dewar and Dan Webb continued in their roles as youth workers overcoming the many challenges faced by so many during the year. Opportunities to engage, inspire and equip young people, church and communities increased and the team remained committed to the vision and mission of Youth for Christ – To see lives transformed by Jesus .
Despite the restrictions due to the pandemic, as well as resource and financial limitations, Wiltshire Youth for Christ was able to support young people in several ways:
-
Steve led 360 face-to-face Mentoring sessions in the 2020/21 Academic year in Lavington and Devizes Schools.
-
Dan was able to lead and support a volunteer team delivering Mentoring sessions in Trowbridge, Bradford on Avon, and Warminster.
-
Between January and August Steve led 30 Children’s and 28 Youth sessions (online and then face to face) in St James Church, Devizes. Dan led a youth group at The West Wiltshire Vineyard Church.
-
The Pop-Up Youth Work Van was out for 70 hrs over the summer break delivering outreach engagement as a unique resource in towns and rural villages.
-
In conjunction with Wiltshire Police and other organisations Steve carried out targeted detached work to address some anti-social behaviour.
-
The Role Model Project distributed over 100 Models to teenagers and families across the area to help promote positive and active Mental health during lock downs and school disruptions.
-
Steve and Dan continued to support Primary schools where possible through lessons and the Accompanying Project.
-
Partnering with the BBC Kit out the Nation appeal to collect and distribute sports equipment to young people and families facing financial hardship and limited resources.
As a new charity, the Wiltshire team have continued to address and respond to the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ongoing financial sustainability and support is crucial as the Trustees and staff team look at ways to develop and deepen the youth ministry taking place across parts of the county.
The partnership and unity with Bath Youth for Christ for 10 years was significant and will help the new charity bear fruit in the long run. Though separated by geography, we are still united in the great commission to take the Gospel relevantly to young people.

Fundraising
As for all charities, fundraising this past year has been particularly challenging. We really missed the Bath Half but are looking forward to it’s return in March 2022. Needing to think creatively, we set up the Bath 2 Bethlehem Challenge in December 2020. We challenged our amazing supporters, trustees, and staff to get out and about to collectively travel 3,164 miles, the distance between our office in Southdown and the centre of Bethlehem. This event was a real success, raising more than £3,000. So, a huge thank you to everyone who walked (or cycled on their exercise bike!).
We really appreciate the continued support from funders, listed below with the projects they funded. Our relationships with young people showed us the negative impact Covid and lockdowns were having on their mental health. The funding we received helped us adapt our projects so that we were able to continue to offer support either virtually or through face-to-face delivery. We were not only able to maintain the delivery of our projects but managed to increase support of and work with young people for the first time through new projects such as detached youth work and the building of a new shelter in partnership with Bath City Farm.
As always it was the continued support of donors and churches that underpinned our work. We thank God that this remained stable through such difficult times and appreciate the faithful giving and prayers of our supporters.

Chair of Trustees’ Report
It was great to see the staff rise to the challenges that the Covid pandemic presented during the year. Whether through online mentoring, when face-to-face was not possible; meeting young people through Minecraft; outdoor youth clubs; online dance classes or working from home, we were able to continue to support young people through this extremely difficult time. This was possible due to the stability provided by the ongoing financial support and prayers of many individuals and organisations, for which we are extremely grateful.
Through our new mission statement and values of building community, inspiring hope, and encouraging belonging, my hope is that we aspire to demonstrate Micah 6:8 in all that we do.
Thank you again for your support over the past year. We are really looking forward to what God has in store for 2022!
God Bless John Lawton
As we head into an exciting time seeking to serve more young people across BANES I am reminded of Micah 6:8 “ The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God.
Treasurer’s Report
The accounts for Bath Youth for Christ CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) include Wiltshire Youth for Christ for the year ending 31st August 2021.
We recorded a deficit over the year despite continuing to benefit from the government furlough scheme until March, after which all staff resumed their normal hours. Headline figures show income slightly decreased from £275K to £241K, with expenditure slightly up from £254K to £257K. Income from our regular supporters has been supplemented by several successful grant applications, mainly thanks to our fundraising expert Leanne Lawton. A further £27K has been received and set aside for our Roundhill Centre building project and is shown as deferred income on our balance sheet. Overall, this increased our reserves from £150K to £162K, of which £104K is restricted and also includes the £27K deferred income.
Wiltshire Youth for Christ formally split off and employees were transferred from 6 April 2021. Some residual income from regular donors continues to be passed on, and we are encouraging all WYFC donors to switch their standing orders to the WYFC new account. This will reduce both income and expenditure for Bath YFC accounts by around 25 per cent next year.
Many of our projects operate on a break-even basis, funded from grants and local contributions. Most of our unrestricted funds are used towards work in schools and related activities. Our budget for next year will increase our focus on the development of the Roundhill centre building in Southdown, primarily funded by grants.
The organisation continues to run a lean and thrifty administration supplemented by the addition of a fundraiser (specifically funded by a grant). We have migrated mass communications to digital/online formats, which reduce expenditure on printed material and postage. The majority of contributions received is used to fund front-line activities and direct oversight.
Individual regular voluntary giving remains a critical element of our income, and I am pleased to report a small increase from £36K to £38K, although donations from local churches were reduced. Together, these provide an important platform and justification when applying for grants and other sources of income. Grant income has formed a large proportion of our income in recent years but can be highly variable and tends to focus on the start-up phase/early years of new projects, rather than providing ongoing sustainable support.
Spending within different projects has been reduced in some cases due to furlough, but we have retained all our staff on full pay throughout.
I’d like to thank all those who contributed towards the success of BYFC over the past year, donating financially and/or by giving their time and expertise.

Financial Summary 2020/21
This summarised financial information was extracted from the draft Annual Accounts for the period 1 September 2020 to 31 August 2021.
Financial Activities
These figures may not contain enough information to allow for a full understanding of the financial affairs of the charity and the accounting policies adopted in their preparation. The full accounts comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) 2015. For further information, the full annual accounts, independent examiner’s report, and the trustees’ annual report should be consulted.
These accounts are not the statutory accounts but a summary of information relating to both the Statement of Financial Activities and the more detailed balance sheet. The annual accounts are being independently examined by a firm of professional accountants, and their report can be obtained in due course from the Bath Youth for Christ Office, Roundhill Centre, Mount Street, Bath, BA2 1LG.
