This annual report for the charity is a combination of three reports reflecting the three main areas of YWAM Holmsted Ministries: Holmsted Manor, Crossover and YWAM in Thanet.
This report reflects some of the activities and ministries that these three areas are involved with and run regularly, a combination of internal YWAM training and collaboration with other ministries, churches and charities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
With the removal of Covid-19 related restrictions, we are now actively engaged in all the activities that we were involved with before the pandemic.
Holmsted Manor
Since October 2021 we have been able to function both effectively and freely, however Covid disrupted outreach and staff participation between January and April, we are so glad restrictions have been lifted!
As is usual within our YWAM context people have moved on and other staff have arrived, our full time staff team is currently 20, with some departures scheduled.
The Sept 2021 DTS ran with 12 trainees, and the outreach portion of the DTS served in Northern Ireland, Greece, Italy, Germany and France. One trainee is planning to return in January 2023.
In April we ran our first Bible Core Course (BCC) with six trainees, four of whom had previously done their DTS at Holmsted, one current staff member and one YWAMer who was in transition to staff SBS in Canada. The next school will run in April 2023.
In July we ran the School of Ministry Development (SoMD) with six trainees (originally planned for eight but some visa applications took longer than expected and people couldn’t get here). The school had a week of practical application in Hereford where we partnered with Rev Erin Butler (former Holmsted Manor staff member), working for the diocese of Hereford. Next year the SoMD will run alongside the September DTS providing trainees with the opportunity to work alongside with the DTS strengthening their training as well as the skills in the outreach team blessing the ministry expressions they serve.
We are thrilled to have found a school leader for the Foundations in Counselling Ministry in January 2023, and have already accepted five trainees for the lecture phase of the course.
As Covid restrictions were lifted it has been easier to reach out within our local community and we have continued to maintain and strengthen our local connections, partnering with local churches, Love Your Neighbour, Crawley and prayer-walking in local towns and villages.
The use of the Coach House is gradually increasing as churches are returning to gather away from home for retreats and small conferences.
In May the Area Circle Team (our YWAM region of Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England) gathered at the YWAM centre in Harpenden, to celebrate 50 years of YWAM in England, honouring Lynn and Marti Green for their service as well as enjoying teaching, prayer and fellowship together which all from Holmsted Manor attended.
We’ve had several “Community Days” (our YWAM Holmsted Ministries and/or Holmsted Manor retreats), with a few speakers invited to challenge us in our thinking and priorities, including Alejandro and Marta Rodriguez (Argentina), Rev Steve Burston (Crawley) and a community teaching week in early September with Emmanuel Entee (YWAM Mosaic, Luton). It was enriching for us to have input from outside our community.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
More recently we are noticing a growing passion within our community for prayer and worship and a commitment to intercede for God to move across the nations, reflected in a number of spontaneous and semi-regular activities.
Despite the continual transition of people coming and going, we have been able to maintain the site, both grounds and buildings.
A new oven has transformed the time taken to cook a roast and the upgraded dishwasher has meant more efficient cleanup!
We remain hopeful that the God we serve will continue to sustain us through the next year and will be faithful to help us continue the work here, in all areas.
We are believing the Lord for growth and believe he is doing something new with us.
Crossover
Over the past year the Crossover Brighton Charity has faced the increasing cost of fuel and food and demand on its service as well. We continued serving our two weekly breakfasts and had one weekend day reach 62 guests in a single service; the largest amount since the pandemic. On top of these normal services, Crossover was able to partner and support the work of Safe Haven at St Peter’s church in Brighton by helping to cover one of the three drop-ins they run during the week in their summer break. In the month of August, Crossover served an additional 300 meals to guests.
Overall, our averages remain steady of around 80-90 total guests per weekend with around 60 unique individuals. Over the past twelve months with the addition of August specials meals we served approximately 4500 meals to the vulnerable community in Brighton.
Guests we haven’t seen in several years have returned as they feel the financial crunch. The feedback and atmosphere at morning services has been superb, with guests expressing regular gratitude for us being there and describing us as one of their favourite services to come to. There will be a further increase in demand for the service, as Brighton and Hove have seen a 10 fold increase in rough sleepers since January.
We are pleased that we have one more year on our three-year grant with YAPP, covering the majority of our fuel costs starting in November. Further to that, we have received funding for an additional three months’ core costs from Brighton and Hove council and have three other grant applications pending approval, two of which we have received previously in 2020. This should provide funding well into 2023.
YWAM in Thanet
It’s been a year of many changes and much growth.
We are now a team of 3 full-time YWAMers with Ashley having joined in July 2022 (min. of 2 years).
For one month we have had a ministry hub, a small place to work and meet, at the Tehilla House of Prayer in Margate.

Other outreach activities
This summer we drove to Poland and Ukraine. Ashley, Beulah & Lucy provided hospitality to YWAM Ukraine missionaries having respite in Krakow. Peter served with YWAM Rzeszow at the refugee centres (in Poland & Ukraine) by doing children's work, mercy ministry, leading worship.
Financial review
Income for the year amounted to £202,471 (2021 - £178,940) and expenditure £178,198 (2021 - £150,519). The surplus was added to funds brought forward leaving an unrestricted fund balance of £113,179 at the year end.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Policy on reserves
Our aim is to hold a reserve of £10,000. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in a time of crisis we will be able to fulfill our financial obligations with enough time to recover financially or reduce our monthly obligations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Statement of Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
