Objectives and activities (continued)

The charity's main activities

Youth work. We run two youth clubs per week during school term times. Totally Tuesday for children aged 9-12 years, and WOW for children aged 12+
‘Messy Church’ is a monthly gathering on Sundays where children and their families meet for craft and social activities and take part in informal worship.
Work in schools. We lead assemblies in local primary schools, run groups for vulnerable children in transition from primary to secondary school and a girls’ group in a high school.

Meanwood Youth Partnership: Working with other local agencies – InterACT, Carr Manor Community School and C.A.T.C.H - we are the lead partner in developing a new initiative working with young people from two local Chapel Allerton estates close to Meanwood. These areas are in the top 1-2% of the government’s 2015 indices of deprivation

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance about public benefit.

Achievements and performance

With the exception of work in schools, we were able to continue our activities, with appropriate modifications, during Covid restrictions. Guidance from the National Youth Agency was very helpful. Schools work resumed during autumn term 2021.

Youth Work : During Covid restrictions the groups moved online, with appropriate online precautions when working with younger children. By the summer it was possible to meet again physically, with most of the activities taking place out of doors. We had 17 young people in our 9-12s Totally Tuesday group and 18 as part of the 12+ group WOW. We made a successful application to the Yorkshire West Methodist District so that two young people from WOW will be employed as part of the One Opportunity Programme for the academic year beginning September 2021.

Messy Church : Covid restrictions meant that contacts with families were mainly via ‘Messy in a bag’ – which often led to valuable and supportive doorstep conversations. It was possible to meet outside during the summer and we had 35 adults and 50 children join us. We organised a family fun day as a smaller version of the holiday club at the beginning of the school holidays, which was attended by 31 people.

Meanwood Youth Partnership : This will focus on empowering young people. We want the local young people to be involved in decision-making from the outset. The first consultation meeting with local young people was held on 27th July 2021

Financial review

The net receipts for the year were £5,464, wholly on unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £24,872. Our policy is that we will always have in reserve an amount of money equivalent to the running costs of the charity for the three months plus redundancy payments plus any other costs associated with closing the charity.
