Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	September 2022 saw the beginning of the first whole academic year for our worker. Funds came in, including a grant, which enabled us to continue to employ a person. This gave the charity the ability to plan for a whole cycle of events. Digital Freshers’ material, Advent countdown and Lent meditations were well received by schools and individuals. Groups in schools, assemblies with the charity ‘Good News for Everyone’ and special events for year 7 pupils were all well received. Restarting work with TLG (Transforming Lives for Good) proved easier with the good church contact in Conwy than elsewhere. Playing a leading role in the organisation of Pray for Schools Cymru has been encouraging to all.
