Public benefit
The charity's main activities are described in the sections below. The board of trustees is satisfied
with the performance of the charity during the year and in planning the activities the trustees have
had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The financial year of 2023-24 has been one of real growth for Kings Community, with our work
expanding in all areas, which has further advanced our vision to positively impact the mental,
physical and spiritual wellbeing of children, teenagers and adults at risk, through practically
demonstrating God's love to them.
In 2023124, Kings Community provided 1,120 one-to-one listening ear sessions for 104 different
hildren aged between 8 and 15 years old. This equates lo 840 hours-worth of sessions across
schools in Little Lever and the surrounding areas of East Bolton. We have also been able to provide
90 hours of small group creative arts wellbeing sessions for 55 Primary School-aged children and
40 hours of wellbeing coffee mornings for parents within the schools.
These numbers are a significant growth from the previous year of 2022123, where we provided 276
hours of listening sessions to 24 different children and 60 hours of group creative arts sessions to
40 children. The reason for this growth has been due to numerous reasons..
The employment of another full-time officer in February 2023 gave us the capacity to
increase our Se￿1￿, resulting in us providing new listening sessions in St Saviour, Red
Lane and St Teresa Primary Schools, whilst still continuing in Masefield and Bowness
Primary Schools.

Charitable activities - continued
We have started working in Ladywood Special School, providing listening services and
creative arts sessions for SEND children.
Thanks to the grant of £6,500 from CRH, we are now providing 6 listening sessions per
week in Little Lever High School. This was initially to address the exacerbation of poor
mental health in children when transitioning from Primary to High School. The school,
however, have found the service so beneficial that it has now also been offered to Year 8
and 9 pupils, with us training volunteers so we can increase to providing 9 sessions per
week.
Outcomes in 2023-2024
We measure the progress of our work with each individual through certain metrics including improved
self-esteem, confidence, an understanding and implementation of coping strategies where
necessary and the feedback of class teachers.
We have found that the Listening Ear project and the Creative Arts sessions are having a positive
effect on children and teenagers in Little Lever and East Bolton. Children mention that they enjoy
the sessions, they feel safe to talk about the things that are worrying them, they find it helpful to
receive some coping strategies for when they are feeling very worried or upset and that they enjoy
having someone to talk to.
We regularly liaise with staff about the progress of the children that we are working with. This
feedback is essential in guiding the direction of the sessions so that we are able to adapt to each
hild's individual needs. The feedback that we receive is often very positive, mentioning an increase
in confidence, an improvement in behaviour or an observation of a child tackling a more specific
problem or worry with more confidence.
Child A was referred to the Listening Service because they were struggling with low confidence and
it was beginning to affect them academically as they were too shy to ask for help when they were
struggling. After spending 6 weeks looking at what they were afraid of, the reasons for their worries
and working on building their confidence with Rachel, the teacher reported back that Child A now
seems much happier in class. They are asking questions, offering answers to questions and are
generally much happier and much more confident.
The teacher also reported that this has had a positive impact on the rest of the class, with the
confidence of the class increasing, as well as their willingness to ask for help when they are
struggling.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity is in the process of developing a stable financial platform to expand its work and reach.
Currently, the main ongoing fixed costs are the salaries of its staff. The charity is looking to secure
new funding to increase staff hours to allow it lo expand its work in the community and local schools.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity is dependent on the generosity of individual supporters as well as grant income to
support its work in the community.
During the year, income has been boosted by the following..
Benefact Trust (Listening and arts)
£2,000
CRH Charitable Trust (Listening Se￿1￿)
£6,500
Bolton CVS (School song projecti
£5,000
Trusthouse CF (Listening service)
£2,000
Bolton CVS (Listening seNice)
£5,000
Garfield Weston Foundation (Listening and arts) £5,000
The charity has also been able to generate income by charging schools to deliver listening and art
sessions. The rates are subsidised by the charity to accommodate the constraints of the budgets of
the local schools whilst providing a much needed se￿1￿ for children.
Reserrfes policy
The trustees, have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain are appropriate to the charity's
needs. The trustees, aim to hold unrestricted reserves equivalent to three month's regular
expenditure (excluding projects) as a minimum (i.e. £5,600 as at the end of this financial year}.
FUTURE PLANS
Due to the increased demand from current schools, we are now recruiting and training volunteers to
take on lower priorily cases so that officers can focus on high priority ones. This recruitment process
has consisted of identifying potential volunteers, enrolling them on the relevant counselling courses,
providing training and guidance over King's Community prolocol and then introducing them to a
school that we are currently working in.
We currently have 4 volunteers who come into 3 Primary Schools and the High School each week.
They have spent the first term shadowing offi￿rS during listening sessions with children and slowly
taking greater responsibility throughout later sessions. We are now at the stage where some
volunteers can independently take some low priority cases, which will increase capacity within
schools and also help officer focus on the most urgent ones. Our overall aim is lo have a volunteer
shadow offi￿rS within each school so that we can strategically prioritise cases and increase capacity
within each school, thus increasing our current outputs and outcomes.
Additionally, some of our current partner schools are now experiencing difficulties with groups within
their classes and have asked us to provide a group project that will help improve class empathy and
self-awareness. We have adapted our creative arts project for a larger setting and have recruited an
external partner to help run this project with our officers. This project will be used as a pilot which we
hope to offer to other schools, once completed.
New schools have also reached out to us to work in partnership with them, however we currently
don't have the resource and capacity. Therefore, our main aim in the short-term future is to recruit a
full-time offI￿r who will have responsibility for working in new schools, further increasing weekly
outputs and outcomes. We are currently in the process of applying for funding to external partners
in order to finan￿ this new role.
