## Achievements and Performance

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