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	With an established worker in place, the trustees were able to oversee many positive developments. Our aim to help local schools with their collective worship and also develop partnership with others working in the sector is well demonstrated with the work we do with Good News for Everyone. We conducted assemblies and distributed New Testaments to year 7s. We also helped the same charity pilot RE resources in two schools for years 6 – 8. One of our trustees is part of the local Open the Book presentations into local primary schools, and so we can encourage this work too. We are slowly building up the pupils we can serve with the Transforming Loves for Good programme. Christmas is a great time to serve local schools. We provided digital daily material for class ‘thought for the day’ suitable for all ages. A class presentation of ‘the smells of Christmas’ was presented to 21 primary school classes and was so well received we have been asked to think of other similar presentations. Finally staff were remembered with gifts for the staff room for 25 schools. We continue to be part of the organisation of Pray for School Wales. In March 2024 our worker left us for a new fulltime role. This gave us the opportunity to asses our direction, write a new Job description, advertise and appoint for September 2024.
