of the foregoing) in Doncaster and its environs;

to demonstrate, promote and encourage Christian values, including Dignity, Empowerment and Partnership to all young people throughout Doncaster and its environs;
the advancement of the education of children and young people through support and mentoring in schools, colleges and other educational establishments, through lunchtime and after school clubs, street based youth work and other youth provision to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities, that they may grow to full maturity as individuals, and that their condition of life may be improved;
to relieve poverty and sickness thereby demonstrating the Christian faith by promoting overseas service, education, practical action and working with those affected, either directly or through relevant relief agencies.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Throughout the year, the pandemic has played a major role in how we have been able to conduct youth work in Doncaster. Self Isolation measures had for the most part still been in place for those who had Covid-19 symptoms. However, despite some of the set backs, we have been able to develop our work.

One of the first things we were able to do was purchase a new football arena. We made the decision not to buy a van as the football arena would allow us to do the same job but allow for easier transportation. It’s easier to store, easier to set up and transport and makes it easier for volunteers and churches to borrow it for ministry opportunities. Throughout the year, the football arena was used in schools and youth groups. It was loaned out to churches for events and became a hit everywhere it went as we sought to develop relationships with young people and churches. Our football cage was donated to Integrate Youth for Christ in Norwich so they can continue to provide detached youth work.

At the end of July 2021, our home grown year out decided to do another year with us. In September 2021 she was joined by another year out who did an internship with us from USA. Their role was to help develop our work with churches in communities, reaching out to young people. They mentored young people, building their confidence and skills for life, and worked in many of our groups, even running one of their own groups of young people with one of the churches we partner with. Having 2 people this year has allowed us to expand our reach across Doncaster and partner with new churches.

This year we partnered with a local church in Hexthorpe from October 2021. This expanded our work to now working also with children. On a Monday evening we run 3 different groups that run from ages 4 all the way up to 19. Those groups are designed to help young people grow spiritually. Our main work now consists in 3 areas of Doncaster on a regular basis working with young people.

This was also the first year since the pandemic that we were able to take young people to Youth Events. We partnered with churches to take young people to various events both in Doncaster and in Sheffield.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Our main aim to provide religious activities in communities, especially where religious activities are inaccessible to children and young people. Religious activities have included running a weekly youth group in 3 different locations; resourcing churches with our football arena; planning and providing events and taking young people on trips.

We have mentored a number of young people this year, and supported them in small groups.

Alongside our main aims, we have supported other churches and christian charities in their outreach to young people. Much of the work we have provided for them, they would have been unable to provide themselves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Due to a donation given in year end March 2021, we have been able to continue our activities and expand our work. This has however meant we ran at a small loss. In the year we received £9633.06 and we had expenditure of £13,982.18 leaving us with a total loss of £4249.12. Whilst this could be concerning, this does leave us with a balance of £18343.29 going into the next financial year. At our current income/expenditure we can continue for a number of years, however we still want to expand the great work we are doing. We are thankful for all the church and individual support we receive to continue our vital work with young people.

The charity does not currently have a policy on reserves.
