We are involved with a wide range of young people in our work through the different programmes that we run. Below is an overview of the different projects we are running. Youth Group - The object of this work is getting to know the young people and building relationships with them. With this type of work the focus can vary from the mundane to the deeply significant. We aim to be good role models and to encourage them in the issues of life. For us it acts as a contact point so that we can move them into one of the other groups that has a more structured direction. Deeper - This works to engage with teenagers and run a structured these objects (include within programme of work for them to get involved in. The degree of interest this section the statutory varies from person to person, but a prerequisite of being part of this declaration that trustees have group is that they listen and get involved. When an individual shows had regard to the guidance interest and commitment to this group we try to ‘grow’ them into the issued by the Charity young leaders group. Commission on public benefit) Young Leaders - This group is set up for those who have shown an active interest in developing and growing as people. The aim is to give young people the tools to be the leaders of society by teaching them various lessons and giving them opportunities to serve within the local community. This takes the form of serving within specific church run activities or community-based activities such as gardening/labouring and helping to run community days. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main Due to the effects of Covid our work with the young people has been achievements of the charity somewhat reduced. Although our goals still remain the same we are during the year endeavouring to rebuild the work in the two deprived areas in Sutton Coldfield and Walsall Wood where the problems are still the same i.e. broken families, substance abuse etc.

In rebuilding we are now working with other groups in the two areas to reach children, young people and adults. This helps us all to strengthen the areas where we are weak using shared resources.

We now have a group of young people who show potential to become leaders both in the church and in society.
