## **Achievements and Performance** SORP reference ||Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
diference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
benefciaries and any
wider benefts to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20||**Work with Schools**
Open the Book
We started the year with 5 Open
the Book teams going into school
and 4 ofering virtual , pre-
recorded assemblies. The hub
provided props for in person teams
with covid compliant pick up and
drop of arrangements. Care was
also taken with programming to
ensure props and costumes were
not being passed straight from
team to team. In terms of the
recorded assemblies the Hub
continued to help record and edit
flms as needed. At the close of
the year the Open the Book
programme was much closer to
precovid provision with 11 teams
delivering in person assemblies
across 17 primary schools. There
are two other teams still aiming to
return to school in 2023.
**What’s The Story ?**
At Easter we made the decision to
ofer both virtual and in person
What’s the Story projects. Four
churches ofered the project in
person and three ofered it online.
We sold 415 story chains.
At Christmas we ofered an in-
person option only . 8 churches
ran the project across 12 schools
and we sold 809 story chains.
Prior to the covid pandemic our
development plan included a
strategy to try and grow uptake of
our What’s the Story project. This
was put on hold during 2020/21
but with the return of more face to
face work in churches and schools
the Hub produced publicity about
the project and sent it out – along
with a free story chain to 35 local
clergy. The publicity was sent out
in September with the aim of
encouraging uptake at Christmas –
however no new parishes took up
the ofer.|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| ## **Godly Play** The Hub continues to support the work of Godly Play UK, locally and nationally. We hosted three online meetings of the Leeds and Bradford Godly Play network during 2022. Mandy also attended two zoom meetings with other Godly Play UK advocates and helped deliver an online training course run by Godly Play UK. **Children’s Ministry** Over the year the Hub has supported thirteen different churches with their ministry to children and families. In practice this has meant meeting with children’s leaders to discuss their requirements and then lending out physical resources . We also hosted a storytelling evening to showcase and demonstrate the range of resources we offer. **Training** This year the Hub ran two external training sessions for St Giles Bramhope and Cragg Hill Baptist church. We also co led an online course for Out of the Box and supported an online course hosted by Godly Play UK. **Wider work** The new website is finished. It has more information about our resources and services (including some videos) and a contact form and shop . We are hoping it will raise our profile and increase our reach to new parishes. We are grateful to Paul Cayton for freely giving his time and expertise to this project. The staff handbook is also finished and schedules for regularly renewing and updating our policies set. **Communication** The hub produces quarterly newsletters, has a Facebook page and a website. ## **Governance** The trustees met in person three times during the year . In July Anita Seals stepped down as a trustee and we would like to thank her for all the time and energy she has given over the years. We officially welcomed two new trustees in February, Anne Cayton and John Holdsworth. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: **----- Start of picture text -----**
