Many of these children and youth 2 **April 2009** **TAR** come from homes where there are problems such as substance abuse, physical abuse, culture of dependence on state benefits. 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. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 3 **April 2009** **TAR** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance 4 **April 2009** **TAR** ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We are still working in the two areas of Sutton Coldfield and Walsall Wood. We have been very encouraged by the young people of the church wanting to organise a Celebration Evening for the youth from the local churches and also reaching out to the young people in the community. We are now engaging with a new youth worker with the intention of making further inroads into the local community. Over the last year we have deepened our relationship with the local churches in the East Sutton Churches Together having joint business meetings as well as zoom prayer meetings. This is to further our churches working together in the community. A very successful Christmas Event was held with the local churches working alongside other community groups, over 350 people attended the event and 150 needy children receiving a gift from Father Christmas. At Walsall Wood we are endeavouring to restart the youth club with the help of the youth worker and local volunteers who have expressed interest. 5 **April 2009** **TAR** **Section E Financial review** ~~a~~ **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** It is the Trustees’ policy to hold reserves of approximately six months expenditure. Because expenditure (and income) fluctuates from year to year this is based on the average of the previous seven years. The reserve is reviewed annually, taking into account any changes in expenditure or other commitments. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## ~~ee~~ **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** ~~a~~ **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Margaret Wattis John Binch ~~ee~~ **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc)** ~~ee~~[Chair] Treasurer **Date** 24 April 2022 ~~po~~ 6 **April 2009** **TAR** ||**Charity Name**
