01 MISSION, FAITH POSITION AND APPROACH
MISSION
Rooted in the belief that God cares for the fatherless, Chapter2 believes every boy deserves a dedicated man to guide him into adulthood. Every year our waiting list for boys in need of a positive male role model increases. Working with local community organisations and through our Centralised mentoring program, we aim to provide a long-term male mentor and a community of men for fatherless boys.
Research shows that fatherless children are at higher risk of school exclusion, gang involvement, prison time and suicidal thoughts. Chapter2 is a Christian charity, and our core values provide a foundation to proactively address the growing number of fatherless boys in the Reading area.
FAITH POSITION
The Christian faith is at the heart of our mission, in that we believes God has a deep concern for the most marginalised in society and most notably the fatherless. Chapter2 provides practical support to the fatherless as a response to the nature of God and how He wishes those that believe in Him to reflect His nature. Our primary aim is to build trust with those we serve by acting with kindness, perseverance and a commitment to building enduring relationships. We do not actively seek to proselytize.

01
In order to accomplish our aim, we work in partnership with churches that share our core beliefs and that wish to support the fatherless within their local communities. In addition to Chapter2’s Partnership programmes we also operate a Centralised programme, in which all mentoring activities are managed solely by us.
We also believe that God wishes His believers to demonstrate love without judgement to everyone that
we interact with regardless of their religious beliefs. As a consequence, we do not expect nor require all young persons and mentors to share our beliefs.

1:1 Mentoring
Over the past few years, Chapter2 has developed a trauma informed approach which allows us to support our mentors and mentees with a deeper understanding of the impact of early life trauma. We know some of our mentees and their families will have experienced significant trauma such as domestic violence, parental drug and alcohol use, financial challenges and having a parent or family member in prison.
Studies have looked at the impact of trauma in early life and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Research shows that the impact of a range of ACEs are long term and can manifest as both physical and mental health issues later in life. However, research like the 2019 study on positive childhood experiences (PCEs) has also revealed that protective factors, like supportive relationships, can mitigate the behaviour and health outcomes of ACEs.[1]
Mentors serve as a protective factor by being a trustable adult building a supportive relationship. Our mentoring philosophy is primarily about showing up and remaining present in the life of a fatherless boy. A mentor is not a coach or a counsellor, but a trustable friend.
At Chapter2 we believe in one-to-one, activity-based mentoring and encourage our mentors to seek out activities that they and their mentees can enjoy together. We focus on building trusted relationships and outwardly this may look different for each mentoring pair. The common thread is a trustable adult who is consistent, non-judgmental and empathetic. Mentors are trained, assessed, supported and celebrated by the Chapter2 team at every step of their mentoring journey.

Community
Chapter2 believes that positive masculine behaviours need to be demonstrated rather than taught or commanded. Boys need a path to follow, and we believe that path can be powerfully shown through practical and challenging activities. Learning new practical skills can also be of tremendous value for a boy struggling with low self-esteem.
We deliver an ongoing programme of 10-12 group activities per year, which are not only fun, but challenge our mentors and mentees to stretch themselves and build confidence. By overcoming challenges together, relationships and trust are strengthened. Throughout the year, we also encourage our mentors to get to know and support each other through additional training, socials and doing activities with another mentoring pair.

Background
Family breakdown is the route by which many boys lose all meaningful contact with their fathers and it is now estimated that approximately 2 million children in the UK have no meaningful contact with their father.[2]
The rate of lone parent households in the UK is much higher than in most European countries. As of 2021, there are 8.2 million families with children in the UK.

There are a number of challenges faced by broken families. For example, lone parent families are more likely to be experiencing financial difficulties. Lone parents are less likely to be employed with around 50% of lone mothers of a child aged 0 to 4 employed, rising to 75% when children are aged 5 to 16.

02 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT
Governing Document Constitution: Foundation Structure (who's only voting members are its Trustees) .
How the Charity is Constituted: Charitable Incorporated Organisation
Date of Constitution: 6th February 2018
TRUSTEE SELECTION METHODS
Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
The current trustees were appointed in accordance with these arrangements and were selected on the basis of their charity and business leadership skills and experience. In the next year we expect to recruit additional trustees to support the ongoing growth and development of the charity.
MANAGEMENT OF CHARITY
The trustees for Chapter2 are responsible for our management. We recruited one part-time member of staff (fixed one-year contract) and one part-time intern
Annual Report 2022-23
Structure, Governance & Management 11
02
(fixed 6-month contract) during this reporting period to support the day-to-day communications, marketing and administrative aspects of Chapter2.
The trustees meet quarterly and therefore met on four occasions during the period under review.
We currently operate a Partnership and Centralised programme.
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME
The Partnership programme remains at the heart of Chapter2. Through the Partnership programme the provision of trained and assessed mentors for young persons is achieved in partnership with a “Partner Organisation”. We support Partner Organisations to:
-
i. connect with young persons within their community through a network of referral agencies managed by Chapter2 (e.g. Schools & Children's Services within the community local to the Host Organisation);
-
ii. establish and maintain a team of trained and assessed mentors;
-
iii. access leisure time activities provided / facilitated / funded by Chapter2 for mentors and mentees on the Chapter2 programme;
-
iv. and provide support, advice, and opportunities to share best practice. Partners are able to tap into this support through the Project Manager, quarterly reviews and access to Chapter2 policy and procedure templates.
Chapter2 currently works with 3 Partner Organisations which support 11 mentoring pairs.

CENTRALISED PROGRAMME
In the year 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2023 the Centralised programme matched its first mentoring pair with eight other pairs joining throughout the year. During this year there were an additional four men who completed our assessment and are ready to be matched in 2023-2024.
The Centralised programme provides opportunities to recruit men from the wider community, develop and test new policies and procedures, and shape best practice. We hope the Centralised programme will be recognised for recruiting, training and supporting high quality mentors committed to the programme for at least two years.
We will utilise what we learn in the Centralised programme to develop the mentoring within Partnership programmes.
THERE WERE NINE MENTORING PAIRS IN THE CENTRALISED PROGRAMME THIS YEAR.

OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES
OBJECTS OF CHAPTER2
To advance in life and relieve needs of young people, in particular, but not exclusively through:
-
a. The provision of mentoring and support;
-
b. The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life and to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society; and
-
c. The provision of education and training for persons that mentor and support such young persons.
PROVISION OF MENTORING
In 2022-23 Chapter2 increased our provision from 10 mentoring pairs to 17. We continue to focus on building partnerships with Partner Organisations to encourage them to establish a mentoring programme within their community alongside delivering an in-house mentoring programme. Two new Partner Organisations were added this year. Opportunities to create partnerships outside of the Reading area will be considered but only in situations where the potential partner has dedicated resources to support a partnership and a good strategic fit exists.

LEISURE ACTIVITIES
Chapter2 also facilitates group leisure activities for the mentor and mentee with the approval of the guardian of the young person. We offer a wide range of activities to try to suit the interests of the mentors and mentees, but also provide new experiences for them. Such activities are intended, firstly, to provide a fun and natural environment for relationship between mentor and mentee to develop; and secondly, to provide an environment for mentees to be mentored within a broader community of mentors.
In 2022-23 Chapter2 were able to provide:
-
Bowling (Nov 2022)
-
Laserquest (January 2023)

TRAINING
For all potential mentors whether they are part of the Partnership programme or the Centralised programme, Chapter2 offers an initial training day which provides a deeper understanding of the impact of fatherlessness and early life trauma, an understanding of what it takes to be a

mentor and basic safeguarding training. In 2022-23 we held two training courses in March and September 2023.
Surveys from the two trainings revealed 100% of the trainees rated their training experience as “good” or “excellent.” Participants particularly were very positive about the variety and depth of topics covered, the interactivity of the sessions, and the knowledge of the trainers.
In addition, Chapter2 provides training for mentors in specialists areas to help support our mentee (ie neurodiversity, trauma, attachment).

Chapter2 continues to see a high percentage of mentees who have additional needs. Fifty-two percent of referrals had a diagnosis of additional need (cognitive low ability, Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC)/Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)) or suspected/awaiting assessment; twentysix percent of referrals mentioned a mental health condition.
While these needs may result in different behaviours depending on the individual, there are a number of strategies that can be used to help support those with additional needs and promote understanding for those working with neurodivergent young people. Each year we provide additional training for mentors in this area.
Some of these young people will have a diagnosis and may have received an Educational Health and Care Plan (ECHP) from their local authority.

Chapter2 has also invested in training for staff to understand areas around attachment and trauma through courses and attendance at professionals meetings where best practice is shared. This knowledge is then passed on to mentors at the mandatory training and subsequent supervision and targeted training.

04 ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
During this year Chapter2 has directed its focus towards:
-
Raising awareness by increasing the number of long-term mentors through developing two new partnerships and establishing the Centralised programme.
-
Deepening both trauma-informed practice and safeguarding within the culture of the organisation.
-
Developing policies and procedures based on bestpractice which can be used for the centralised programme and shared with partner organisations.
-
Building relationships with local schools.
-
Supporting mentors through supervision, training and providing opportunities to be part of a community. We have seven mentors who have now been mentoring for 2+ years, therefore we have begun thinking about how we support mentors as the mentee moves into adulthood. We also find moments to celebrate and honour the work of mentors and the commitment they have given through anniversary cards and gifts, and social events.
-
Executing our fundraising strategy to support the development of the organisation (see Financial Review).
-
Growing and developing the capabilities and infrastructure of the organisation. This included recruiting two part-time employees.
-
Producing a short animation with Wonderstory to share Chapter2’s vision (see next page).

FUNDING SOURCES
This financial year, Chapter2 has maintained funding
generated to support the charity's activities through grants from Trusts and Foundations, the annual fundraising event, contributions from partners and personal donations. This year’s fundraising event proved to be their most financially successful event thus far and raised in excess of £109,000. In the 100K Challenge there were 45 participants and 1559 donors.

had a number of successful applications resulting in a slight increase in additional funds of £22,855.
UNRESTRICTED CASH RESERVES
The Reserves Policy of Chapter2 is to maintain a level of unrestricted funds of between six- and twelve-months’ operating expenditure. In developing this policy, the Trustees considered the following key principles:
a. Significant Growth: Chapter2 is a relatively young charity (incorporated in Feb 2018) which has seen a rapid rise in demand for our services. The number of mentoring pairs has doubled in the last year, and we anticipate more significant growth over the next three years. The planned growth in expenditure will be enabled by the successful fundraising campaign in 2023, sustained through similar activity in future years and underpinned by the charity’s reserves.
b. Long-Term Service: The core service provided by Chapter2 is the creation and support for long-term mentoring relationships with vulnerable young people. Sustainability is therefore vital.
In consideration of the above, the Trustees believe a minimum of 6 months unrestricted cash reserves is prudent. This reflects the reserves needed to support the growth of the charity and to maintain the charity on a sustainable basis, as well as creating provision to find alternative services to support beneficiaries if Chapter2 ceased to operate.
