## BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL 

## CHAIR'S REPORT 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 

Bridge the Gap Football began in the autumn of 2019 with a vision to bridge the divide between the average football-loving young adult and the church. An essential part of the vision centred on the mental health needs of young men in particular. Nationally there is a critical strain on mental health services, resulting in very little NHS help available for many young adults who need it. We also recognised that the church is uniquely equipped to support and draw alongside many young adults navigating the often turbulent journey into adulthood feeling very much alone. Bridge the Gap's conviction is that the mental and emotional pressures that result from this isolation can be eased in peer communities that are intentional about mental health support and friendship. This conviction is backed up by our recent research, where 96% of our participants reported that being part of Bridge the Gap supported and improved their mental health and well-being. 

However, our commitment to prioritising our participants' mental and emotional health needs is only part of what we do. We are convinced that faith is of huge importance when it comes to hope and meaning. In our first fundraising dinner that we held in October, I quoted Dr Lisa Miller, a leading academic in the field of spirituality and psychology. Her peer-reviewed research has discovered that 'humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as we engage with healthy spiritual beliefs and practices.' For Bridge the Gap, this spirituality is embodied in becoming a follower of Jesus. 

Dr Miller's research has found that for those who engage their spirituality and consider it very important, they are: 

80% less likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol 60% less likely to have a major depression 82% less likely to commit suicide 

This is Bridge the Gap Football's raison d'être, and we are so delighted to be able to partner with many amazing churches across the country who enable us to draw alongside hundreds of young adults each week having fun, listening well and doing life together. 

Please join us in praying that God would continue to lead us and provide for us as we continue to shape Bridge the Gap to become and do all that it has the potential to.

CEO REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 

This last year has been a year of exciting growth, with our locations, staff team, BTG events and the online portal we are building. We have launched new locations in Sheffield, Oxford, Leicester, Totton and Hertfordshire, taking the total of locations from 13 to 18. 

In June 2022, we launched two ambassadors for BTG: Ben Johnson from West Ham and Jason McCarthy from Wycombe Wanderers. We then filmed their stories of Football and Faith and launched the first two episodes of 'BTG Talks'. We also had our second national tournament, doubling in size from 12 teams to 24. 

In September 2022 Jonny Powell transitioned from being an intern to coming on to work part-time to look after our locations in the South and Wales. Two new interns came on board, Charlie Coates in Brighton and Adetayo Onisile in Leicester. 

In October 2022 we held our first Charity Dinner. An evening to hear stories of what is happening across the country and also to look forward at the direction of where BTG is going in the next few years. It was an amazing evening and we raised £50,355. 

In the January 2023 term of Alpha, we have seen over 120 young men attend an Alpha course. We have seen 5 people get baptised in the last few months and many getting connected in churches across the country. 

In March 2023 we held our staff day at Letchworth Garden City Church in Hertfordshire. These are always special days seeing the sites come together, to worship and pray and hear what's happening across the country. Kate Middleton from Mind and Soul Foundation came to speak about positive mental wellbeing and Aaron Nayagam from Fusion spoke to us about being Ordinary Radicals. These days bring the community of BTG together and empower and inspire us to continue to do the work we have been called to do. 

In April 2023, we will be advertising for two new roles. One to look after our northern locations full time and also a part-time role looking after our South East and London locations. 

We anticipate over the next year, to continue to grow our locations and our reach. We are also looking at piloting a BTG Womens' site and also a BTG Youth site in the next year..

BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL 

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Strategic Approach: 

## • - Build Relationships 

We are committed to people coming to Bridge the Gap to find a sense of belonging, purpose and connection. We strive to create safe environments for people to have open and honest conversations about life, and how they truly are. 

## • - Develop Leaders 

Our vision is to train, equip and empower leaders across this country to lead the Bridge the Gap programme in their communities. Matthew 28:19 says, • Go and make disciples of all the nations.• We feel called to do this through football. We don• 't just want to give people a start-up manual and some footballs; we want to support, encourage and develop our leaders. Not only in their leadership but in their faith journeys too. 

## • - Transform Lives 

There are millions of people who love football but don• 't love Jesus. Football is an incredible tool of common ground to invite people to. We want to then build real trust and relationships with the people that come to Bridge the Gap and see them coming onto the partner churches, Alpha Courses and connect them into Church life.
