## **Chairman’s Report 2022-2023**
This last year has been an especially significant year for us as a charity. We took the decision, coming out of Covid, that we could either stress about those we were not reaching – of which, let’s be honest, there are many – or we could invest in those who engage with us, and “grow up” with them as they travel through their teenage years, growing BYP as we do.
And that strategy seems to be paying off. You’ve already heard and seen some of the highlights tonight, and I want to start by thanking my fellow trustees for their superb investment into the work of BYP. No one sees the hours of preparation and planning that go into sessions, or the trustees’ meetings, as we review and decide what we’re doing! Also, to our volunteers – of which there are not many! – who give so much of their time to serve alongside us – thank you! And, of course, to Hosanna, who, as our youth worker, has grown significantly in this last year on placement with us – and it has been such a privilege to see that and be a small part of it! She’s a gifted young woman, and we are blessed to have her!
In fact, our partnership with SWYM (South West Youth Ministries) has been a real strength, and to see 18 young people attend the SPREE weekend in July from Bodmin and Wadebridge was wonderful, and a significant time for many. We also had 8 young people attend the more local Menadue Camps, for again, a wonderful time! There is something significant about taking young people away, and I want to thank everyone who facilitated this over the summer.
We have also been extremely blessed in terms of funding. Hosanna’s placement fee to SWYM is £5,000 pa, and we saw significant fundraising efforts in all 3 churches to enable her to serve her first year with us. We then approached a trust fund which is managed by Stewardship and they have paid for both last year’s fees and this year’s fees – meaning we now have money to spend! We thank God for that amazing provision!
And we also see local funding, and I want to thank all those who give monthly to BYP by SO. If you’d like to sign up tonight, no matter how small the amount, we’d be delighted to pass you a form!
And I want to thank, also, ICB for their generosity in allowing BYP to use this venue FOC for so many years – it is really appreciated, and we try our best to get the seats back in the right places!
But most important of all are the young people. It has been amazing to see young people transition from the football outreach into our youth groups and begin to explore faith for themselves. It’s been wonderful to see Immerse members confidently bringing their friends along, many of whom now attend regularly, and to see TYG members going deeper in their faith, and not afraid to ask (and sometimes answer!) difficult questions! And, as I said at the beginning, it’s been a privilege to “grow up” with them.
So please join us! Volunteer! Pray! Give! Or simply just encourage a young person when you see them!
And finally, I want to thank God for His faithfulness to us. One of the reasons for BYP is that no church has enough young people to run their own youth work to the level we’d like to, so in many ways, we’re always going to be small in what we do and see, and yet we see Jesus changing lives, and that is such a privilege. My prayer is that, as we go forward, we will only see it more and He will use us ever more effectively in this town.
