Page 6 WESTON CHURCH YOUTH PROJECT REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 AcHVEmENTs AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED) Detsched work: The project ran 13 detached work sessions. where members of the team engaged with chilthen, young people and families in the community. rk: A Halloween 'Light Trail, (in parthership with Holy Trinity Church and the 19-29, Hope City Church) which engaged approximately 800 individuals. There were two family events including an Easter Egg Hunt which over 40 individuals joined. 2024 h&s seen the birth of a new church in Weston, aimed in particular at discipling and raising up leaders from 19-29 year olds from working class backgrounds. Hope City Church started meeting in st Weston Shore Infant School on 31 March (E&8ter Sunday). January and February involved a lot of discussions to clarify expectations of all parties regarding the Memorandum of Agreement (Holy Trinity W¢ston. King's Community Church Hedg¢ End and WCYP) for all involved. This was completed on 18 March. Op¢rationally the early months of the year were dedicated to building up infrastructure and purchasing equipment to enable things to happen. This included a lot of support from the church plant administrator, Rosie Swift - who set up Church Suite. built a website and helped thaft policies amongst other things. We tried to be innovative in our use of funds: for example, spending marketing money on Hope City branded sports socks (very popular on our estate) instead of a website. We also customised cups for our church services reminiscent of c0smCDonaldS to ty and create an environment which young people in the area could connect with. Behind the scenes a new CIO. Hope City Church Southampton, was set up. The new CIO took on operational responsibilities for Sundays (from WCYP) and mid-week Hope Centre activities (from King Community Church) in September. Alongside this work, the Youth Group 'The Venue. for 15-18 year olds started at the Hope Centre in January. The Venue ran 38 sessions throughout the year supported by a team of primarily Hope City volunteers, which really helped build connection b¢tween local young people and the church. Attendance on Thursdays reached as high as 14 young people and at least nine have also come along on Sundays since. One came to Catalyst Festival with us in the summer, another has since been baptised in another church. Partly due to a footprint of years of community work and living on the Weston Estate, Sunday gatherings at Hope City included attendance of locals from the off. From an initial church planting team of 3040 individuals, on Sundays our attendees can now range from 50-80 people including children.

Two 'Connect Groups, have also been running throughout the year. bible studies and Christian fellowship meeting in homes on the estate, engaging around 30 people. These have proved to be particularly popular with locals who enjoy a setting in which to share and process their thoughts on faith and the bible. In November we also started a third group at the Hopc Centre during the 'Hope Hub,. High points of the year so far have included 6 baptisms, plus a group of over 30 attending Catalyst Festival tog¢ther and experiencing Go¢ as well as growing in closeness as community. While there Dave William (our Pionett Evangelist) spK)ke at a seminar as part of a panel - explaining how to reach 'grass roots, communities. Twenty (some slightly rowdy) Hope City members called encouragements and OPAnions frorn the back and were able to explain their own perspectives. It couldn't have been a better way to showcase the work of the church. Hope City has coordinated with Oth WCYP and Holy Trinity Weston staff to put on events across the estate. A 'Light trail, at Halloween (engaging over 600 people) and an Easter trail, as well as a Holiday club throughout the summer. We intentionally stopped our Sunday meetings in order to resource this club which paid off. A lady who volunteered with us in the summer has since been baptised. Throughout the year Dave and the team have engaged in many forms of training. He compl¢t¢d the Church Planting Course run by New Wine. Members of Hope City Church also attended conferences by the Centre for Church multiplicatio The Eden Network and Launch.

The surplus of £15,348 all arose on unrestricted funds, compared to an unrestricted fund deficit of £(40,522) and a restricted fund surplus of £5,850 in the previous year.

Prineipal Funding Sources The Church of England: Archbishops. Council - Innovation Fund Southampton City Council - extended into a Year 5 for 2024 Holy Trinity Weston, PCC The Joseph Rank Trust The Garfield Weston Foundation Local Giving, Co-op, Amazon Oth¢r personal donations Young People's Contributions (Jan 2023 - 2026) (plus part Benefact grant) (July 2023 x 3 years) (Oct 2023 x 2 years) Investment Policy Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds to be spent in the short-term operating the Project, so there are no funds for long-tenn investment. PLANS FOR FUTURE PEIUODS The ending of the Southampton City Council (SCC) funding (at 31 March 2025) and with little success in other new fundraising initiatives has resulted in the trustees sadly having to pause the open access work of Rock Solid. With reduced income, there are not the funds to replace staff who have moved on. The Archbishops Council Innovation 3-year funding will compl¢te at 2025 year end. The two staff recruited for the Hope City Church will then transfer to that newly established charity. An application is being made to the Diocese of Winchester - Diocesan Investsnent Programme during 2025 which rnay secure the ongoing Faith (7-18s) work from 2026.
