Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	2025 marked the first full year of active pioneering ministry for Bangor Youth for Christ and saw significant growth in both community engagement and support for young people across Bangor and the surrounding area. Across all streams of outreach and engagement, the charity reached just over 3,000 unique young people during the year. Our weekly secondary-aged youth gathering ‘Youth.’ launched in September 2025 with more than 20 young people registered to attend regularly. We also strengthened relationships with local schools, providing support and worships in five secondary schools on topics including mental health and wellbeing, ethics, and the Christian faith, including work carried out in partnership with Gobaith Mon. Alongside this, we managed to build and maintain a visible community presence through supporting an after-school drop-in, participation in the Bangor Summer Festival, and monthly prayer meetings focused on young people and the work of the charity. The charity also supported local churches through holiday clubs, a ‘Pizza and Purpose’ youth discipleship programme, and more. These activities have helped create safe spaces for young people to build community and explore the Christian faith. These achievements would not have been possible without the commitment of our trustees, and the seven new volunteers, whose service has laid a strong foundation for future growth and impact.
