THE BACKGROUND
Woodstock Youth Work Trust (WYWT) was established in 2016 after two years of work bringing it all together. The vision of the Trust is to unite and equip the churches in Woodstock to carry out youth work, with a discipleship focus, in the community, and through the local schools. Our mission statement is:
"To help teenagers in Woodstock realise their identity in Christ through discipleship and mission, and engage them as disciple-makers”
We seek to carry out this mission in a variety of ways and this report is a collation of all the different ways that we seek to implement it, the impact it is having, and the ways we see it expanding in the near future.
We have now had eight years of working towards these goals, and so have collated an outline of the activities specifically of the last year, but also with a picture of what we hope to achieve going forward.
2
AN INTRODUCTION
Over the last year, there has been a shift in the work of WYWT. Primarily, this has been due to the chaplaincy work, that was previously funded by WYWT, now being paid for directly by the schools in which this work is happening. What this has meant practically, is that there is now a more formal distinction between the work that is happening in the schools, and the work that is happening external to the schools.
The nature of the working relationships between these two roles, however, does mean that there is a certain of crossover between the schools, the churches, and the wider community where the work of WYWT is happening. Despite the work in schools being more distinct now, it is still recorded in this report due to this crossover.
The work outlined in this document have categorised as follows:
1. Work in the Church
- Work in the Community
3. Work in the Secondary School
4. Work in the Primary School
Looking at what we do in these categories helps to highlight both the work we have been focusing on developing, as well as the work needed to further develop the work.
3
WORK IN THE CHURCH
A core focus of the work of WYWT is supporting the work of the churches, and working together with them to provide for the young people they have in their congregations. This includes the work of the trust that is distinctly Christian, even if that does not necessarily take place within a church building.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
Since the Trust is partnering with several of the local churches, one thing we try to do is make sure we are present at each of the churches.
It has been really encouraging for this to happen more regularly this year, and to pick up that regular contact with the local churches. We have particularly enjoyed the amount of support there is for all the work of WYWT from local Christians. Being able to touch base with them in this way has enabled them to feel more aware of and a part of the work that is happening and allowed us to feel more supported and championed by the local Christian community.
It has also been really nice to spend that time meeting, getting to know, and encouraging the young people that attend each of the churches, and to support them and the churches in the journey.
As well as attending regular services, there have also been additional Church events, services, and times we have been invited to join in with, particularly around the key times in the Christian calendar such as Christmas and Easter. This has included opportunities to lead services in each of the churches and share, as well as God’s word, what WYWT are doing.
Spending time with the people in each church has also given space for them to approach us and share their vision for youth work and support on new initiatives they are trying to develop as a congregation. This has been particularly exciting, as it shows the vision for youth work in Woodstock is 4
growing, and not just being carried by the Trust. This is vital for real multiplication to occur.
In addition to all of this, Woodstock Methodist Church have been on journey over the last year as they explore and navigate where and who God is calling them to, and what their identity as a church community is within the wider context of Woodstock. It has been a real blessing to be able to support them in this process, and speak into their situation to help them to continually discover who they are.
CHURCHES TOGETHER
One of the things we are involved with is the Churches Together in Woodstock and Bladon. This has meant the work the Trust is doing is getting more exposure, as well as opening other opportunities within the Christian community of Woodstock to us.
As well as being given opportunities to speak at different ecumenical events, being involved with Churches Together has allowed us to hear more about what is happening in Woodstock, and to have a voice in shaping how the churches are a part of this. Since taking a more active part in Churches Together and sharing what we are doing with them more regularly, we have also seen the interest and understanding of who we are and what we do increase amongst the people involved.
One thing that we have been invited to share in, is an outreach family day that they are running for the new estate(s) that have been built in Woodstock. We are looking forward to what impact we can have specifically with the children and young people in this area.
PRAYER UPDATES
Prayer is at the very heart of all that we do. Since before WYWT formally existed, we have had a team of committed Christians, who are praying for the work that we are doing, and the young people that we are connecting with.
5
Every month, we send out a newsletter to over 50 people who are reading the stories of what has been happening, seeing the specific events and activities that are taking place, and praying specific prayers to support the work and young people.
We genuinely believe it is this prayer that creates a bedrock for everything that we do, and hope to continue to grow the team that is supporting the work in this way.
6
WORK IN THE COMMUNITY
A key part of the vision of WYWT is to be actively present in the places that young people are already spending their time. With this in mind, there are a few existing groups in the community we support where WYWT can continue to support our young people.
GORDO E.S.U
Gordo E.S.U is a local Explorer Scout Unit based in Kidlington. Being involved with it over the last few years has been really beneficial to the work of the Trust.
Involvement with the Scouts Association means they provide access to many free training opportunities, allowing our youth worker to further his leadership skills, get a First Aid qualification, and even pay to get a minibus license, all of which benefit us in our continued work.
As well as this, it is another opportunity to engage with local young people, get to know them, and have lots of opportunities during hikes, on a Monday night, and around a camp fire to talk about all things big and small. This has also led to good conversations about faith, with some young people going on to explore their faith, and in some cases baptism, as a result of these conversations.
WOODSTOCK YOUTH CLUB
Woodstock Youth Club is the local youth club that is run weekly and has been around for many years. As this is a key part of the community in Woodstock, it was felt that WYWT should, as part of its remit, support what already exists for the young people in Woodstock.
7
Woodstock Youth Club have a good knowledge of who we are and the work we are doing and are very supportive of it. Being involved with the weekly drop-in that is held there, has been helpful in terms of being able to come alongside different young people within the community, as well as support the work the youth club is doing.
In September, the person who has been responsible for the running of the Youth Club for many years unfortunately passed away. This led to a period of time where the Youth Club was adjusting to this significant loss, and therefore wasn’t in the full swing of things. Since then, however, volunteers have stepped up, and we have seen an increase in attendance of young people to the club. This has provided new opportunities both to shape what the Youth Club is in the community, and to get to know more of the young people that it serves.
This year, our youth worker also joined the youth Club committee. This means that he will be able to speak more into the direction of the Youth Club moving forwards and help to shape how we are structured. Hopefully, this will continue to develop as a bridging point between the schools, the community and the churches. Since our youth worker is operating in all three of these spaces, the hope is that we will have a consistent, friendly face that is meeting the young people at each point, and inviting the young people to come and be involved with both youth club, and potentially the churches.
8
WORK IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL
A significant focus of our time and energy over the last few years has been in establishing a Chaplaincy programme at the local Secondary School, the Marlborough CofE School. While this work is no longer directly overseen by WYWT, it is still a significant part of our vision and legacy, so we want to include it in this report.
Below are the groups, events, and programmes we have been able to deliver at the Marlborough CofE School.
ASSEMBLIES
As part of the Chaplaincy role, we have been able to deliver several assemblies to the school body. These assemblies, delivered to multiple year groups, have struck the balance between being distinctly Christian, whilst still remaining accessible for the wide audience that attend them.
A highlight of these assemblies is always inviting volunteers to the front to engage with a challenge in illustrating the theme of the assembly.
CHARITY
This year we have been able to support the school in their Charity week. This involved gathering and delivering boxes of food to donate to the food bank and resources to the local baby bank.
As well as providing contact with the local food bank, we supported the school by gathering all the donations that staff and students had made over the week with the help of the charity volunteers made up of year 9 students. This ended up being a really impactful event for the school, the food and baby banks, and the students who helped.
9
FAITH IN THE COMMUNITY
The Marlborough School runs a Wednesday afternoon elective programme, and as part of this, over the course of the year, all year 7 students engage with an elective called ‘Faith in the Community’. During this time they will explore the contexts of different faiths, and what that looks like in their communities.
Supporting this has enabled us to come alongside every single year 7 student and help share what it looks like to be Christian. This has included taking them to the local churches, leading sessions about what Baptism looks like, and most excitingly, creating spaces and opportunites for them to engage with prayer and reflection.
This has been such a great opportunity, and really enables us to get to know all the students starting at Marlborough. We have been blown away by the relational impact it has had with the year group as whole. The year 7 students now consistently view the chaplaincy in school as a place they can come to if they need a bit of extra help or support.
PASTORAL PRESENCE
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned through the chaplaincy role so far is the importance of being available: to meet young people where they are at; you need to be where they are at.
Considering this, we have made sure that we are available at social times throughout the day, either on the playground, or open for drop-ins. This has allowed us to meet a greater number of the students than if we remained based solely in the Chaplaincy Space.
Having this space to meet and get to know students who would not otherwise engage with the chaplaincy provision, particularly in a neutral space, has really created opportunities to come alongside more pupils in a variety of different ways.
10
PASTORAL SUPPORT & MENTORING
Over the course of the year, we have been able to meet regularly with various students in the school for mentoring. These are students where relationships have been formed over the year, and who have been identified by the pastoral team as needing more positive attention from staff.
Across a fortnight, we meet with students who are a scheduled session for a variety of different reasons, as well as being available for any students who require that level of support more responsively.
This mentoring is responsive to the needs of the individual, and as such, we have been able to support several different students with a wide range of issues they are facing in their lives.
PRAYER SPACE
As part of supporting the Faith in the Community elective, this year we have been able to give space for every single Year 7 student to engage in a time of prayer and reflection. During this time, they have come to the Chaplaincy Space for an hour of engaging with different activities to help them to pray and reflect- some for the very first time- on different issues and themes that are encounter in their life.
This has covered topics such as Identity, Joy, Hopes & Dreams, Anxiety, and even how they personally view and relate to God.
RETOLD
We have continued to meet regularly with our Friday lunchtime faithexploration group. Over the last year, we have been looking at the stories from the Bible that are relevant to everyone, regardless of where they are at in their spiritual journey.
This group had been pre-dominantly people who do not see themselves as Christian, but despite this, they have been regularly coming to gather together and discuss ideas of faith each Friday lunch time. The size of the
11
group has fluctuated over the year a bit, but ultimately, those that were coming were committed, and eager to participate each week.
Those that were coming were by chance all in years 11 and 13, meaning that it is unlikely this group will continue in its current format into next year. We look forward to exploring and discerning what opportunities this could lead into.
CHRISTIAN UNION (CU)
This year, we have launched a new Christian Union in the school. This is something that we have tried in the past, but always struggled to get off the ground. This time, we have been intentional about keeping it small, and not advertising it to wider groups of people, with the hope that we can use the first few months to set the culture of the group, before opening it up wider.
This CU has been regularly attended by 3 students who have bought into what we are doing during this time, even to the point of taking on leadership of the group themselves. It has been really encouraging to seeing them regularly attending, despite busy lives and other demands on their time, and we have particularly enjoyed the sessions that they have they have led.
STAFF PRAYER
One of the ways we’ve explored chaplaincy for the staff as well as the students is to offer a weekly time of prayer for the staff.
This time of fellowship and prayer is one that that has been immensely appreciated by those who attend it. While there has not been a huge take up, the response from those that do join show how worthwhile this time has become.
RESIDENTIAL
This year, our youth worker was invited to go on the 3-day residential for all Year 7 students. This was a really great opportunity for him to get to know
12
the students in a more relaxed environment, and connect with them over shared experiences.
This worked really well and created new and deeper relationships with a number of the students that we had not really had a chance to get to know before this point. Having a lot of experience with trips and residentials meant that we were able to be more than just an extra body, but provide insight and experience to the trip.
Doing this trip alongside several other members of staff from the school has also allowed for these relationships to strengthen and grow as a result and coming alongside them as well. Hopefully this can be used as a jumping off point to walk deeper with staff as well as students.
13
WORK IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
One of the things we are most excited about from the last year is the expansion of the chaplaincy work into the local Primary School. We have been having on-going conversations with the headteacher there for over a year about what this provision could look like, and as of April this year, we are going into the school once a week for an afternoon chaplaincy provision.
While this age group is not the primary target demographic of the work of Woodstock Youth Work Trust, it has been incredibly refreshing to be occasionally working with this younger age group.
Already, we have seen the benefit that working in the school has on these relationships when the same young people attend other groups (such as the local youth club), or as they come up to Secondary School. It has been an incredible way to continue to build bridges between the church, the schools, and the community, and to help connect young people into these different areas through regular contact and relationship.
COLLECTIVE WORSHIP
One of the ways we have been delivering this chaplaincy provision at the Primary School, is through their weekly faith-based ‘Collective Worship’. Each week when we go in for the afternoon of chaplaincy, it culminates in the whole school gathering to hear a message about who God is, what that means for their life, and a space to reflect on this message.
These messages are usually delivered in a way that is both accessible and engaging (sometimes even fun), without being patronising. It has been difficult to strike a balance between addressing where the oldest in the room are, and where the youngest in the room are, but this tension has made it all the more satisfying when a good balance has been found. We have also used this as an opportunity to connect in the other local churches and ministers.
14
We have also been working this year to find ways to make sure that every week there is space for the students to contribute to the time. This can be as simple as lighting the candle or finding out what’s in the “Mystery Bag”, or having a bigger role such as doing a reading, or being part of a demonstration. Our hope is to keep developing this part of chaplaincy in the school in order to give more students the opportunity to shape their Collective Worship.
PASTORAL PRESENCE
Another part of the provision in the Primary School, is through having pastoral presence on the playground during the lunchtime we are in for. This means while the students are out on the playground and field during lunch, so are we. This gives space for them to start to see us as accessible, and to come and talk to us, ask questions, or share thoughts they have had based around what we have spoken to them about during the prayer space and collective worship times.
It is inspirational to see how enthusiastic the students have been about coming up and talking to us during this time. Often, this takes the form of them asking to be the one to light the candle, or trying to find out what the “Mystery Item” of the week is as part of the collective worship. Ultimately, however, wherever the conversation starts, and wherever it leads to, it has been encouraging to see how interested the students are in furthering those points of contact we have with them.
PRAYER SPACE
The most significant element of the chaplaincy provision at the Primary School is the running of a weekly Prayer Space. Each week, we run sessions for 15 students (3 groups of 5 for 30 minutes each), who come into the school Prayer Space, and get to take part in several activities geared towards engaging them in prayer and reflection.
It is really encouraging to spend time creating space for so many young people to try and experience prayer; some for the first time ever. Consistently, coming out of the time, the feedback we have received is that
15
the students feel calm, happy, and relaxed, and wished that they were able to do it more frequently.
Every student from years 1 to 6 have had two opportunities over this academic year to come and spend time in the Prayer Room, doing one of these activities.
TRANSITION
Due to the nature of the work both in the Secondary, and Primary schools, we have been able to do targeted work with the year 6’s at the Primary School around their transition to Marlborough.
This has really helped them to feel more prepared, as they get ready to stepup to Secondary School, and it also means that they have had an opportunity to start to get to know someone who works pastorally at Marlborough before they even get there. The expectation is this work will lay the relational groundwork which can be built on during their time at Marlborough.
RESIDENTIAL
This year, our youth worker was invited to go on the 3-day residential for all Year 3 & 4 students. This was a really great opportunity for him to get to know the students in a more relaxed environment, and connect with them over shared experiences.
Coming back into school after this has really transformed the way that the students interact with him, and it has made such a significant impact on the relationship that he has with the students.
As well as this, it has led to a shift in the relationship with the school. Since this trip, they have seen how committed we are to our relationship with them, and supporting their students holistically, not just spiritually. We hope to continue to foster this relationship, and explore further how we can continue to work together well.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
There have also been a number of activities that have taken place in addition to those outlined above. These do not necessarily sit into the above groups but have been integral to WYWT regardless.
FUNDRAISER
In the Autumn, we held a Quiz Night fundraiser for WYWT. This was an incredibly successful event in that the Marlborough School hosted it for us, and there were several people from both the churches and the community at large in attendance.
In addition to raising money to support the on-going work of WYWT, we were also able to share stories from the work that we have been doing, and there were a number of people who committed to praying for the work that we are doing as a result.
It felt like a real culmination of the different elements of WYWT to have the school host an event that was supported by the community, to share the work that we are doing as part of the churches.
NEW ROLE
Over the course of the year, we have also been exploring hiring an additional worker for WYWT. This has grown out of a recognition that the work in the Primary School has been incredibly successful, and we would like to see that multiplied out into other local Primary Schools, particularly those that are feed schools for Marlborough.
We have spent time raising money for this role and starting to talk to the other parishes and schools about the viability of this role. It is felt that there is a real need for this in the wider community, and that being able to offer
17
something like this to the schools that was already funded would be very beneficial to them.
Having an additional worker carrying out this role would allow for them to take what we have learnt in Woodstock Primary School, and apply to other places so that there was a really strong network of schools that we have contact with, and input to.
NETWORKING
The work that we are doing in Woodstock is becoming continually more established, and as a result of that, we are increasingly being asked to speak into other places and people that are trying to build a similar thing.
This year, we have had a number of opportunities to connect with people who are just starting out in either youth work or chaplaincy roles, and speak into them, and help them to grow and develop what their practice. It has been such a privilege to be in a position to offer what we have been learning to help others who are also on the same journey that we have been on.
18
KEY PARTNERSHIPS
There have also been a number of activities that have taken place in addition to those outlined above. These do not necessarily sit into the above groups but have been integral to WYWT regardless.
DIOCESE OF OXFORD
The extent of the WYWT relationship with the Anglican church and CofE schools means we have been able to establish a strong working relationship with the local Diocese. This has resulted in further ministry training, equipping, and support, as well as invitation to join a network of other chaplains across the Diocese to connect with and learn from.
These links are helpful as we continue to network and establish new connections with other youth ministries. Increasingly, it has becoming more difficult to gather large groups of Christian young people for activities and events. By being connected to other nearby ministries, we have opportunities to partner with them to achieve these goals more effectively.
DISCIPLE-MAKING PROJECT (DMP)
The Disciple-Making Project (DMP) is a collective of youth workers who have a real heart and passion for Discipleship to be the main tool to see young people transformed across the UK.
For the past couple of years, we have really benefited from being a part of this network. It has enabled us to meet regularly with other like-minded practitioners, and to be encouraged by all the ways that discipleship is happening across the country. It has allowed us to develop our thinking, refine our theology, and sharpen our practice in the way that we are working with and discipling young people.
19
As well as all of this, the annual retreat time has been incredibly rejuvenating as a space to gather together with others with the same heart and vision, and to spend time together as a community.
KIDLINGTON BAPTIST CHURCH (KBC)
A big part of our vision and ethos is how we are supporting other churches and church communities locally. Through this, a close working relationship with Kidlington Baptist Church has developed, which has a lot of young people that we also work with through the school.
This year, we have entered a partnership with them where they are praying regularly for the work that we are doing, and the ways that we are reaching out to different groups of young people within Woodstock. There is also scope for us to work together and share resources, such as doing Christian festivals together over the summer break to minimise the burden for either group individually.
We have also supported their youth work on an ad hoc basis, helping when they are low on leaders. This has worked well as it has enabled us to have another connection point with young people that we are working with in other areas, such as the school.
We have also been speaking into their recruitment process as they have been looking to employ a new youth worker for their church. This has been really helpful in terms of development to be invited into these conversations, and be thinking about the bigger picture of a youth ministry from an outside perspective.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First and foremost, we would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication from all our trustees, without whom, none of the above would have been possible. The time that they give up to make sure that we are operating smoothly is greatly appreciated, and it is only because of their time that any of this can happen.
In particular, we want to acknowledge the work of Alan Band , our treasurer, who spends countless hours monitoring our accounts, applying for grants, and communicating with organisations whom we have made successful bids to. A special thank you as well to Paul Carter , for the support he gives to our youth worker through Mentoring and Line Management. His time, advice, and encouragement have been a real blessing.
Although not officially trustees, we also want to acknowledge the hard work of Joanne Onions , who ensures that we are in line with all things safeguarding, and Sarah Williams , who serves as Secretary to our meetings.
All the work that we do is supported by an increasingly growing number of people who give their prayers and/or their finances to support us. Thank you to each and every one of these people for the gift of your partnering in the work that we are doing.
Thank you to the independent charities who have contributed to financing the cost of WYWT. These are:
