BRIDGETHE GAP FOOTBALL Chair's Report FortheYearEnded 31 March 2024 Bridge the Gap Football IBTGI 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 and women. Nationally, there is a critical strain on mental health services, resultinE 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. The growth that BTG h8s experienced this year is one important indicator that our work has caught peoples, imagination: 11 new sites First women's football programme launched Youth programme piloted 77% increase in recurring donors 2196 increase in participants who attend BTG Weekly This growth has come despite a challenging climate of high interest rates, inflationary pressures. and the inevitable cost of living increases that result. BTG has not been immune from these challenges, but as Tristan Lury has highlighted in his report, we have reason to be confident in bringing in further income streams and new donors early in the next financial year. We continue to be hugely gr8teful for the partners we work so closely with to build BTG'S work. Our partner churches and the site leaders they support are core to our success. They not only play a key role in facilitating BTG'S provision week in and week out, but many of them also generously make financial contributions that enable BTG to grow. The role that the HTB network of churches has pl8yed in establishing BTG is not to be underestimated. The solid found8tions bLJiIt over the past sever21 years with the HTB network have enabled us to branch out and build partnerships with New Wine, Vineyard, and others to grow BTG across multiple denominations. Our partnership with Alpha Interngtional continues to be of enormous benefit and importance, and we 8re grateful for Alpha's ongoing financial and strategic support. We are also grateful to the significant number of financial donors who regularly and generously support the work of BTG. These multiple partnerships are key to BTG'S flourishing. However, we do whatwe do because ol theyoung men and women who are helped as a result. I close, therefore, with a quote from one of our participants who started engaging with BTG in 2022 while he was struggling with his mental health 8nd relying on drugs and alcohol to navigate life. He is still participating in 2024 and has also become a volunteer tor BTG: Bridge the Gap has changed my life. I've made new friends. my mental health is great, I'm no longer t8king drugs, and my drinking is in check. After I was invited to go on an Alpha course, I eventually decided to give my life to Jesus. My life has developed an incredible new level of meaning and purpose as 8 result. I won't ever be the same againl l am happy., Catherine Delve Chair of Trustees Page 1 Doc ID.. 7dc6ff5edaf1f88cb5482b46438189661e613914
BRIDGETHE GAP FOOTBALL CEO Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2024 The impact that our footballing communities are having across the UK in the four years since Bridge the Gap Footb811 IBTGI launched has been incredible and we can't wait to see this continue to grow. One of the things that makes BTG different is that we are a cornmunity beyond a community, with currently over 80 volunteer leaders across our sites playing their part in the vision, helping to bring transformation to the lives of young adults in their town or city. It has been wonderful to see how a simple invitation to p12y football-beginning in Southampton-has led to someone coming to faith and inviting their friend to Bridge the Gap in Brighton. This, in turn, led to th2t young person corring to faith, followed closely by their wife. Since then, this newly married couple-now both baptised-moved to Norwich and are launching Bridge the Gap in their new community. This is a tyPIC81 story of the domino effect of growth that we are seeing 8crossthe UK. Since BTG'S inception. many people have been excited about pioneering BTG for women. One of them, Jodie Lintern, who loves Jesus and has a passion for football, evangelism and seeing strong communities formed, wanted to pilot a location for women. In lune 2023. Jodie and a small team, with the support of St Aldate's church, launched our first women's location in Oxford. To say It has been a success is an understatement. In less than a year, ten women have already connected to the church and its Alpha programme. jodie and the BTG Oxford Women team have adopted the BTG vision and built something incredible. Following the early success of the Oxford pilot, in February 2024 we held our tirst women's vision day with people from Southampton. Oxford, Bath, London and Nottingham travelling to help pioneer and plan the future of the new Women's ministry. We later then hosted our first women's tournament at Oxford City Stadium in May 2024 where we engaged with over 40youngwomen. These two annual events will remain key dates in the BTG Calendar, and we can't wait to see the growth. as we lookto launch one ortwo more BTG Women locations across the UKwith some ofthese key leaders who were in attendance. Alongside this. we have seen a large increase in churches wanting to launch BTG Youth. Again, this is something we have always dreamed of: seeing generations of young people come to know Jesus through football for years to come. There has been a lot of work behind the scenes, consulting and collaborating with churches End youth leaders in London and Oxford to work out the best way to pilot BTG Youth. We h8ve found that pitch hire is expensive and hard to come by. Therefore, instead of inviting young people to 8n external venue. we will be inviting them into the church building, where a BTG-branded inflatable football arena will be put up, allowing football sessions to be run indoors. This way we have already'Bridged the Gap,, into the church. We Can then focus on creating a safe environment, building connections with the young people and looking to connect them to other areas of Church life such gs further youth groups, Alpha youth, tamily events or Sunday Service. Two intlatable football pitches are on order, end we are looking forward to rurining youth pilots in London and Oxford to test the concept. Page 2 Doc ID.. 7dc6ff5edaf1f88cb5482b46438189661e613914
BRIDGETHE GAP FOOTBALL CEO Report Forthe Year Ended 31 March 2024 Following the successful appointment of our North and Midlands Coordinator in September 2023, our focus has been on growing this region. Employing Nathan Mugford has allowed us to support our existing locations more closely and led to the launch of new locations in Nottingham, Leeds, and Manchester. This doubled the number of locations from three to six in the North and Midlands. and we aim to continue building on this trend. Charlie Coates completed his internship with us at the end of July 2023 and. in September, came on board four days a week to look after and grow our South and London locations. Seeing the team grow as we launch new locations across the UK has been a gift. Developing a team with different skill sets has upskilled us as an organisation. We were very grateful to come into this financial year with £80,000, most of which came from our charity dinner held in October 2022. We decided to continue to hold charity dinners but on a biannual basis. This would allow us to steward our donors well and develop new relationships in the interim. We would then come together to celebrate what has happened over the last two years. As a result, we knew it would be likely then to see a decline in our income for this year. and the ch8rity dinner from 2022 set us up in a great position to have most of our income secured before coming into the year. This then allowed us to concentrate on strengthening our team. We also have been aware that, as a new charity, it takes time to build relationships and confidence with gr2nt-making trusts and funders. It also take8 time to demonstrate impact and scalability adequately. Over the18$t year, we have focused on building relationships with grant fundeis such as the Lancaster Foundation, from whom we have received a matched fLJnding offer of £15,000. This comes into effect when we have secured a further £15,000 f rom another funder and will come into our next fin8nci81 year. We have also invested in someone to support us with grant writing one day a week to help us secure funding from other streams we haven't yet accessed. Overall, it has been great to build the team to be able to continue to support our volunteers and locations across the country and this has then allowed us to 18unch new locations and excitingly pioneer the youth and women's spaces. This sets us up well to go into the next year to SC81e each of these areas. Thank you to all our volunteers, supporters, financial givers 8nd the board for being incredibly supportive 8s we continue to step out in faith in what God is doing across the UK.
