Achievements and performance
Review of activities
Following a process led by Lynn Green throughout 2020 which included extensive restructuring to the way YWAM in England has historically worked, YWAM England was registered as a CIO in August 2020.
After three years of operation, we revised and voted on a new constitution in our AGM on 18 April 2023.
We currently have three trustees: Anne Sloan, John Braithwaite and Allen Anjo and are looking to appoint new trustees in 2023-24.
Youth With a Mission - England
Appointment of members
We held our most recent AGM on Zoom in April 2023 where we were able to appoint members in line with our constitution. We currently have a membership of 50+, which allows us to function within our constitution.
Appointment of new trustees
The trustees invited Allen Anjo to become a Trustee in the April 2023 AGM, and this was unanimously approved by the membership.
Resignation of trustees
Jo Bishop stepped down as both Chair and Trustee of YWAM England in the April 2023 AGM. In June 2023 Rosana Liste attended a Board Meeting where she resigned as a Trustee.
Appointment of new Chair
John Braithwaite, an existing Trustee, was unanimously elected as the new Chair of YWAM England.
Operational Leadership
As the Charity has become more established, it has changed from being hierarchical in outlook to more relational with the YWAM sister charities. Our main aims are to provide practical support for the sister charities, to coordinate marketing and events, and to raise the profile of YWAM in the UK.
Carol Hatton is convening the safeguarding Advisory Team for YWAM England since Steve Bishop stepped down in early 2023.
Sarah Opper continued to monitor the Visa regulations and visit daughter charities to audit good practice and compliance with legislation.
Penny Griggs continues to be a welcome visitor to our Board Meetings and provides accounting and administrative support for YWAM England.
Catherine de Freitas remains our Secretary and supports the board at meetings and AGMs.
Financial review
In 2022-23 We received a total of £36,208. 44% of this income was from the grant from YWAM Limited.
Donations from locations were up 467% to £13,340 – this was mainly contributions to YWAM England and also the safeguarding training which is run through YWAM England. Donations from individuals was also significant, amounting to £6,868.00
The highest expenditure was 57% of our income allocated to Communications and
Youth With a Mission - England
marketing (£5,985). We used the budget raising the profile of YWAM by advertising at various summer camps in the UK, as well as regular communications through a digital newsletter.
The other expenditure was £2,091on safeguarding & £522 on base care. The remainder was spent on office costs, trustee meeting expenses & travel, insurance , staff care & bookkeeper fees.
Policy on Reserves
As a newly established charity we have maintained healthy reserves to ensure unexpected expenses can be covered, or times where there is a slowdown in income streams.
We currently have no funds in deficit and have a healthy end-of-year balance.
Principal source of funding
We are grateful for the donations we have received in the past as grants from YWAM Limited (up to 2023) and contributions from other YWAM sister charities in England that benefit from the work done by Youth With A Mission England.
Declaration
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustee's report above.
