Ruth Generation Foundation is a Christian voluntary organisation, set up as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in June 2019.
We work predominantly with Women and families by providing a unique mentoring programme for building strength, courage and character for life. We aim to address life challenges and struggles due to family breakdowns, marriage difficulties, single parenting, teenage pregnancies and children with challenging behaviours. We provide restorative programmes and empowerment workshops through teachings, mentoring, spiritual and practical support that will strengthen their spiritual, emotional and social life in order to fulfil life purpose especially in marriage and family life. We work in partnership with community organisations, statutory agencies, churches and voluntary organisations to support women with intensive mentoring.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
As a small organisation, our main aim is to serve women & girls, mothers and children, families and marriages facing challenges, confronting various life issues especially marriage and family relationships. We focus our support on women who are broken, vulnerable, confused and struggling; mothers with children who have challenging behaviours, violence, knife and gun crimes; and dysfunctional families or marriages broken down.
We are passionate to support them with changes to:
1. Rebuild strength, confidence and courage;
2. Renew hope and restore purpose;
3. Maintain healthy relationships and family life.
We are building links to work in partnership with community organisations, external agencies, churches and statutory bodies, that will provide additional support and complement what we do to meet the needs of our service users.

## **Current Activities**
## N **aomi & Ruth Mentoring Relationships;**
We offer 1-1 mentoring to women & girls who are single, single parents or married. The sessions focused on spiritual and emotional wellbeing, to be enhanced with group empowerment workshops that will ultimately ensure they build strength, courage, positive character and healthy relationship for fulfilling life purpose. The journey of a Ruth mentee is from 6 months to 24 months, with a commitment of 2 hours work per week.
The training of Naomi mentors is ongoing with the founding Naomi mentors and new interests. We continued with regular meetings online to strengthen their spiritual and emotional life.

Like the above 1-1 mentoring relationship this also involves group mentoring sessions, retreat programmes and other techniques to improve spiritual, emotional and physical well-being.
We offer more bible study and prayer sessions for service users in the Christian faith, who require support to build their spiritual life and emotional well being.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity Act requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the CIO for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
