GOVERNING DOCUMENT
Doncaster Youth for Christ is governed by its foundation model constitution as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
CHARITY TRUSTEE SELECTION METHOD
Charity trustees are brought forward by individual trustees who we believe can enhance the work we are doing. They are approached and invited to become a trustee at which point if they accept, will be accepted by the other trustees.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the reporting period the following related party transactions took place: An amount of £6,500 (2023: £6,500) was paid to Daniel Budhi, husband of Louise Budhi, a trustee of the CIO for services provided to the CIO in relation to youth sessions, and management provided. This was allowed under the constitution of the CIO under Section 6 (2b).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the CIO are:
• To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of young people in accordance with the statement of faith appearing in appendix 1 throughout the world and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) in Doncaster and its environs;
• the advancement of the Christian faith mainly, but not exclusively by means of proclaiming Christian messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature throughout the world and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality 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
In the 2023/24 period, we continued to partner with churches do outreach in communities, and mentor young people. Our interns continued to partner with 7 different churches across 6 locations. We continued to run both outreach and discipleship groups and continued in 1-1 mentoring. Throughout the year with our various partnerships we were seeing around 150 children and young people every week.
Throughout the year we’ve been able to take young people on trips and give them regular opportunity to hear about life and faith in Jesus and build other friendships with other young people from other youth groups.
Our football arena has continued to be a hit and has been hired out by churches on numerous occasions. It’s great to see an accessible resource being used by churches as they seek to connect and reach people within their community. We have increased our resources alongside the football arena this year with axe throwing and an American Football target too so we can offer a whole range of activities when running events.
In June we welcomed ‘The Church at the Cross’ from Florida, USA for a missions week. Across the week we went into 8 primary schools and 2 secondary schools, and hosted numerous events on the evenings. This included a family outreach in Hexthorpe seeing well over 100 people; children outreach programmes, worship events and a youth outreach event. This week was a catalyst for a number of people being connected in with the groups that churches run on a weekly basis. We look forward to working with the Church at the Cross again in future years.
As part of our growing links with USA, we are expecting to host 2 teams in 2024/25. We are also looking at welcoming some summer interns for a couple of months too.
Due to having no interns from September 23, we made a decision to move more into equipping resourcing local ministries in order to have a more multiplying effect. This lead us on the exciting initiative of creating our own Doncaster Youth for Christ training app to train local youth workers in all aspects of youth ministry. This was a busy time of putting the app together, creating content but also linking with other national youth work organisations to input into the app too. This initiative has allowed us to widen our network with others, and receive more resource for ministry here in Doncaster.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
Our main aim is 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 6 different locations; resourcing churches with our football arena; planning and providing events; mentoring young people 1-1 and in small groups and taking young people on trips. 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. The launch of our training app will further support youth work across the City, providing accessible training to volunteers and staff.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In the year we received £11,564 and we had expenditure of £16,637 leaving us with a total loss of £5073. Our end of year balance (£9670) however remains healthy for the amount of work we are able to provide at this time.
At our current income/expenditure we can continue for a number of years in our current capacity, however we still want to expand the great work we are doing so we see bridging this gap as a priority. 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.
