## **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.|
