Summary of Purpose:
A community for young adults from churches and the wider community. We exist to encourage young adults to find hope and faith in Jesus.
Main Activities:
Worship nights, community gatherings, retreats and ministry evenings.
Worship Nights:
We continue to create spaces of worship, engaging with 50-70 young adults regularly from a range of Churches across Somerset and beyond. We host guest teams such as Carry the Love, Orphan No More and other ministry teams.
Community Gatherings:
Community gatherings have been so important post-pandemic during the lockdowns. Awaken ran regular prayer and studies with around 60 young adults engaging on a weekly basis. Now that Churches have re-opened we have reduced our weekly activities encouraging young adults back into Church communities. We have more community events planned monthly going forward to connect young adults from different Churches and the wider community.
Retreats
Over the past year we have partnered with Wildside Experience on the Blackdown Hills, providing 3 retreat camps. Each camp we had on average 20-30 young adults attending. These provided a great opportunity to go deep with relationships and each retreat had a spiritual theme and activation.
We also hosted an Awaken Young Adult festival with visiting guests including Yeovil Community Church, Fusion, Release Academy, St Georges and other worship leaders.
Ministry Evenings
These evenings provided a space to gather, sharing food, teaching and prayer. The repair workshop we recently hosted with experienced mentors provided a safe space to process the pandemic and repair and re-build faith and relationships with young adults.
Summary of Achievements:
Over the last year:
We've engaged regularly with approx 60 young adults and where possible continued with in-person events regularly keeping up to date with the latest COVID guidelines & regulations to ensure we were meeting in a COVID safe way. This continual reviewing and connection has kept young adults engaged in community and alive in their faith.
We've seen increased connections with Churches and championed new young adult communities springing up in Yeovil, Clevedon, Bath and Barnstaple.
We also partnered with Diocese of Bath & Wells & SWYM to host a pioneers networking event as a way to share how to encourage young adults to engage with events in Somerset and beyond.
Post-pandemic when Churches opened up we launched a 'Take me to Church' series of events, where some of our young adults within Awaken offered to take other young adults to their local churches within Somerset, who are either not part of a church or seeking a church.
Awaken has hosted a variety of courses including:
-
Fathers Heart Teaching
-
Plumb Line teaching
-
Freed to Lead (by Freedom in Christ)
-
Study through Song of Songs.
-
To engage young adults in Somerset we have held a variety of different Social events such as: - Christmas social gathering which was also an opportunity for young adults to bring their non-christian friends
-
Bring & share BBQ at Wildside
-
Easter Walk
-
Regular beach trips in the Summer.
-
We took a dozen young adults to David' Tent which is a 72 hour worship event in Sussex.
Governance:
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's Guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the above activities undertaken by Awaken meet the public benefit requirement for charitable status.
All are Trustees are involved with other local charitable organisations and are committed to the local church. The Trustees also regularly meet with local church leaders within Somerset.
