BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL Chair's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 This has been a year of extfaordinary encouragement for Bridgè the Gap. When I look across the stories in this report, l am reminded that whal began as a simple vision to help churches connect with foolball-loving young people has become something much bigger than any of us could have imagined. Across the UK, and now increasingly around the world, we are seeing communilies formed, lives changed and people encountering Jesus through the simple combination of football, friendship, and faith. Many young people today are searching for belonging, purpose and hope. Long before they are ready to slep into s church g6rvica, Ihoy aro Ofton looking for a eommunity wh&ra thoy can ba known, valued, and accepted. Bridge the Gap creates those spaces. Football opens the door, relationships build trust, and local churches PTovide a place where faith can be explored and lives transformed. TTisian's repon capiures many of the remarkable stories from the past year. As trustees, we never want to lose sight of the fact thal behind every slatislic is a person.Every attendance figure represents an individual made in the image of God. Every new site represents a local church stepping out in mission. Every story of faith represents a life transformed. What has particularly encouraged me during my first year as Chair IS the quality of people involved in this ministry. Bridge the Gap is blessed with an exceptional staff team, committed volunteers, supportive Church partners, generous donors and failhful tiuslees. Together they have built something that is both ambitious in vision and deeply rooted in service. Their commitment, energy and faithfulness continue to create opportunities for thousands of young people to encounter genuine friendship and hear about Jesus. What excites me most is not simply the growth we have seen this year, but the opportunity ahead. The expansion of Bridge the Gap Youth, our partnership with Alpha, the development of new resources and the early launches in the United Slates and Australia all point towards a ministry entering a new phase of inflltence and impact. Growth is exciting, bul growth is never the goal in itself. Our aim is not simply lo launch more siles nr TP.8r.h higgg.r niimhg.r£. nijr aim is lo help more young people encounter Jesus Ihroijgh authentic community, friendship and local churches. As opportunities continue to emerge, we remain committed lo growing with purpose, protecting the culture and mission that have made Bridge the Gap so effective, whilst equipping more churches to play their part. As a Board, our role is simple.. to ensure that Bridge the Gap remain5 faithful to ils mission, wse in ils stewardship and ambitious in ils vision. We are committed to supporting the team as they pursue sustainable growth, deepen partnerships and continue creating environments where young people can discover hope, purpose and life in Jesus. The challenges facing young people today remain significant. Yet everywhere we look, we see reasons for hope. We see churches willing to step out in faith. We see volunteers giving their lime generously. We see supporters investing sacrificially. Most importantly, we see lives being changed through encounters with Jesus Christ. Before closing, I would like to express my personal thanks to two trustees whose contribution to Bridge the Gap has been exceptional. Catherine Delve served as our founding Chair and has been instrumental in helping shape the charity from ils earliest days. Her leadership, wisdom and unwavering support have helped create the strong foundations on which we continue to build, and I am delighted Ihat she remalns anactlve and valued Irusiee. Page 1
BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL Chair's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 I would also like to thank Jon Finch, who recently stepped down from the Board after serving since the very beginning of Bridge the Gap. Jon has been a trusted source of wisdom, en¢oLJragemenl and support throughout the charity's journey. His contribution has been immense, and while he may no longer be a trustee, we are grateful that he remains part of the wider Bridge the Gap family. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you to everyone who has played a part in the work of Biidge the Gap during the past year. Whether through prayer, volunteering. partnership or financial support, you are helping create communities where young people can belong, grow and encounter the tr8ngforming love of God. We look to the future with gratitude for all that has been achieved and with great expectation for all that lies ahead. Charlie Cannell Chair of Trustees Page 2
BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL CEO Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 A friend was praying recently and retninded me that in all things, "God has gone before us and expect the unexpected. That has been the story of Bridge the Gap so far. God has gone before us time and time again whether that's launching new siles, bringing the right staff into the team, seeing people come to faith, or connecting us with the right people at exactly the right time. Thank you to everyone who has joined in with the vision. From players, churches, volunteers, donors, business partners and trustees, lo our incredible staff team these are the pcoplc who make Bridge the Gap so special. God is on the move across the UK right now. We're seeing this in many spaces, but especially across all levels of football. Professional footballers are speaking openly atrjout taitm more than ever before. Players are celebrating with "I Love Jesus shirts, cross celebrations, and openly talking about Jesus in post match interviews and media appearances. We also have the privilege of seeing God move through our local Bridge the Gap cornmunilies across the UK. In April 2025, for the first time, five young men came to church through Bridge the Gap. In the following weeks, they brought four more friends with them. Many were responding lo prayer and wanting to follow Jesus.The tide is turning. Later that year, four of them Game to focus a Christian festival. They had never camped before and had never experienced worship in a large festival setting. On the final day, these young men sat reading the Bible with other young people. That evening, one of them gave his life to Jesus. Today, those same young men are helping lead the newly launched Bridge the Gap Youth in Southampton becoming positive role models for others and now helping run Alpha for other young men connected to Bridge the Gap. We are seeing this again and again. Lives are being transformed, and increasingly there is a ripple effèet impacting families. friendships and the. np_¥t gp.np_rxtinn I was also deeply moved by the story of a young man in Cambridge. He had beer) invited to Bridge the Gap bul then lost his job. The church chose to support him financially so he could continue attending because Bridge Ihe Gap had become his community. That young man started coming to church, gave his life lo Jesus, and was paired with a mentor who helped him find work again. Once back in employment, he approached Bridge the Gap and asked to repay every penny that had supported him so il could be paid forward lo help others. This isn't simply about the power of football. It's about the power of Jesus. Bridge the Gap Sites UK This year we saw a 20°/0 increase in new site launches. Our heart remains the same.. to launch sites that reach people who don't yel know Jesus. Over the next three years, our focus is to continue expanding across the North and Midlands reaching new ground for the sake of the Gospel. Bridge the Gap Youth
BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL CEO Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 This year has also been foundational for the expansion of Bridge the Gap Youth. In November, we were invited by Just Sow and The Maclellan Foundation lo pitch as one of four charities for funding to help scale the ministry. We were incredibly grateful to be selected and received nearly £70,000 in funding. As a result, we hired our first full-time Bridge the Gap Youth Coordinator, who started in January 2026. This has enabled us to launch in Southampton and begin preparing for the next wave of youth locations launching later this year. We are hearing more and more stories of young people inviting friends to football, who then begin attending youth groups and eventually tryirig church for the very first time. BTG x Alpha World Cup Video We've also had the privilege of partnering with Alpha to create the first ever football focused Alpha episode. Filming has included Antning. £gmp.nyn, nAvid AIAha. Mark McKenzie and Naomi Layzell. Alongside individual player stories, there will also be a 12 minute halftime film designed for churches, events and football gathering5 during the World Cup. Our vision is for this resource to reach over one million people globally and become a catalyst for niaiiy to begin exploring faith. BTG USA In January 2026, we hosted our first ever Bridge the Gap Leaders Summit in Los Angeles. Churches from LA, Phoenix and Portland gathered together for three days to hear the vision and explore launching Bridge the Gap through their local churches. The summit was a huge success, and since then we have launched our first three locations in the Unilod States. This June, members of our team will travel lo the USA to run soccer festivals around the World Cup in partnership with Alpha USA. During halftime, we'll be showing the new Alpha and BTG World Cup film and inviting hundreds of people to Alpha. BTG Australia Let me tell you about Sam. Sam moved from Sydney to Oxford to join the School of Ministry at St Aldates. Within days of arriving, he started attending Bridge the Gap and quickly became part of the leadership team. When Sam moved back to Sydney after completing the year, he began asking Ihe question.. °How can we launch Bridge the Gap here?" At the same time, Oscar had been invited to Bridge the Gap Bath. Oscar wasn't a Christian, but he loved being part of the community. He started attending church and, at the end of the year, moved lo Sydney.Naturally, the team in Bath were sad to see him go, especially as he hadn't yet made a commitmeni io faith. Page 4
BRIDGE THE GAP FOOTBALL CEO Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 But one month lalei, Oscar FaceTimed the team from Sydney lo tell them he had given his life to Jesus and had joined a church there. Amazingly, he had the same vision.. 'How can we make Bridge the Gap happen in Sydney. Following conversations with Bridge Church Sydney and the provision of initial funding, BTG Sydney launched as a pilot eartier this year, with the vision of hosting a Leaders Summit later in 2026. Our vi8ion remaiE)g the samc.. To see generations come to know Jesus through football. Partnering with churches to create welcoming, open access football communities where people can hear about Jesus and be InviteLI to come and see. Thank you for your continued support. We remain expectant for all that God will continue lo do through Bridge the Gap. Tristan Lury Founder & CEO Paoe 5
