## **reNEw NE Report** ## **April 2022 – March 2023** In many ways as we emerged from lockdown this was like a brand new start for the charity. In addition the war in Ukraine has a significant impact on our exchange possibilities since in the past many of these exchanges were through working with Open Bible in Ukraine. One of the significant lessons from lockdown was the value of working with whole families and this was reflected in our summer programe which included: - reNEw 1: 8-12 year olds, Monday 15 August – Thursday 18 August - reNEw 2: 12-16 year olds, Sunday 21 August to Wednesday 24 August - reNEw Family Camp: Friday 26 August – Sunday 28 August or Monday 29 August Bookings came in late as normal apart from the new family camp at August Bank Holiday weekend which was full before the end of May. In the end we took 25 children to reNEw1, 20 to reNEw 2 and 12 families with a total of nearly 80 people on site for the family camp over Bank Holiday weekend. Many of those who came are from disadvantaged background so significant fundraising took place to cover the costs. As well as these events the charity supported holiday club activity on Chester-le-street, Berwick upon Tweed and Byker by being part of the team and providing programmes, resources and personnel. We also ran a New Year residential for 14-18 year olds at Wydale Hall. A number of Ukrainian young people attended that event and we had some representation at the summer holidays. In the Autumn the two founder members joined the team in Durham Diocese running a Growing Young Leaders’ course – taking 4 young people on a monthly basis to the course. We entered a new partnership to be part of the core team for Lifepath – a schools week at Brinburn Priory for over 500 year 4 children from across Northumberland. One of the founders joined the core team in planning the event that takes place in June 2023. The plan is to repeat the summer programme in 2023 and then to take stock for future direction and activity in the Autumn of 2023. ## **RENEW NE** ## **Receipts & Payments Account** For the period ended 31 March 2023 |||**Unrestricted**|**Unrestricted**| |---|---|---|---| ||Notes||**funds (£)**| ||||Period to| |||31|March 2023| |**Receipts**|||| |Donations regular|||2,195.00| |Donations to summer camps|||17,596.00| |Amazon & Easy Fundraising|||22.85| |Summer Fees|||5,290.00| |Fees for New Year event|||964.00| |Volunteer donations|||3,942.00| |Total income|||30,009.85| |**Payments**|||| |Summer residential costs|||17,906.81| |New Year residential costs|||5,817.90| |Payment to Olena Yurchenko for work done|||1,500.00| |Equioment for residential activities|||1,194.15| |Repaid to J Stephenson|||1,205.00| |Other costs|||882.85| |Total expenditure|||28,506.71| ||||| |**Surplus/(Deficit) of income over expenditure**|||**1,503.14**| |Notes:
