Some of the grandchildren were watching a cartoon called Prince of Egypt; about Moses leading the children of Israel out of captivity and into the promised land. I thought, yes, I do believe in miracles, so what is the modern-day equivalent? One is, of course, NAYC and Action Centres, not only the whole story but particularly how they came through the pandemic. At the end of the financial year this charity, which mainly supports young people, was virtually starting again. It had been shut for normal activities for about a year due to the pandemic, and relied as usual on the staff, some of which had to move on, some furloughed and a skeleton remained and kept the name and spirit of NAYC alive. I am loathed to pick out any member of staff, but credit must go to Emma Fletcher, our Company Accountant who had to deal with grants from the Government and other sources, loans and squeeze every bit of income and savings from the organisation. Also, thanks for those at Whitemoor Lakes whose centre was used by the NHS as a vaccination hub for Staffordshire and those who kept the Sports Centres, accommodation and Conference units open when allowed. The training of instructors also went on and so when restrictions were lifted the whole organisation was able to hit the ground running. When Harry Whittaker started the Association, he hadn’t heard of Covid-19 or been aware of the modern day worries for young people, but his aims and objectives were to serve young people. To serve in Christ’s name all sorts of young people and not to be restrictive or exclusive. To serve in a completely open and secular setting. He was right then, and he is right now, sixty years later. I believe young people have been the most affected by the pandemic. Their schooling and learning interrupted, they have been isolated and scared by what was happening and their mental health has been compromised to various degrees. So, this is why a charity like this is so important and we adults, whether through financial giving, or action, need to support it through to the next Jubilee. We have relied on our supporters and donors even more this year and our thanks go to The Langley Charitable Trust, The Benham Charitable Settlement, Laing Family Trusts, and the Bernard Sunley Charitable Foundation and all those who have continued their support, this year. Finally, I can assure all those associated with this work that you have seen a miracle. From centres across the country where the voices of young people enjoying themselves had almost disappeared due to the pandemic; to a full complement wherever you go fulfilling Harry Whittaker’s dream. Thank God. **PETER HALES** CHAIRMAN ## **PRESIDENT’S REPORT** It is quite stressful thinking of what is, and what might have been in the light of Covid and economic depression. Yet, somehow, the news is good, and someone with real influence cares. It is remarkable. Just when pressures should be acute our numbers and bookings are showing fantastic resilience and the Centres are bursting with laughter and happy conversations of joy, and the love that pervades them all. Of course, this is not luck, or, only the amazing response to prayer. It is the result of a deep attitude of care. Care for each other, care for our roles within the businesses. Care for every detail to ensure that everything glows and reflects this care. Will the bookings continue at these levels? By sending every visitor home as our ambassadors I believe they will. However, the management team are as always not just careful but prudent and constantly looking to make each visit seem to be special, and with new things to enjoy – and not just in the dining rooms! Life for everyone is getting harder by the week and next year everyone here will make sure we show and demonstrate that we deeply care and this makes the difference, just as we believe our own futures lie in the hands of someone who cares greatly. **DAVID LAING MA RIBA** PRESIDENT, NAYC 3 ## **YOUTH DEVELOPMENT** Youth Development concluded last year’s report on a positive note by talking about how we had maintained contact with our membership and supported many youth groups and young people throughout the covid restrictions. We recognised the changing landscape as an opportunity to rebuild our work with new vision and plans that would grow our youth offering across the voluntary sector. We said goodbye to three longserving colleagues who had been pivotal in building our work and membership but were pleased to welcome two new Youth Development Coordinators and a DBS Co-ordinator to the team. An early team building weekend with activities at Pioneer Centre helped with the transition and bond the new team. We took the opportunity to review our work systems and procedures, resetting our membership database, restructuring our activities plan and moving to an online DBS service - all to make our work more streamlined. New work areas opened, and we have plans for; a youth leaders conference, residentials for disadvantaged groups, youth wellbeing cafes with mental health training, new funding for youth centres, and opportunities for new partnerships. Our youth work and services focus on four main objectives: (1) to set up and support youth provision (2) deliver activities, projects, & programmes (3) train youth leaders & volunteers and (4) to develop young people’s potential. ## **SETTING UP AND SUPPORTING YOUTH PROVISION** Over the spring and summer period we conducted an online survey and personally contacted over 150 youth leaders to find out their feelings and concerns about reopening after lockdown. As confidence grew, we were on hand to provide guidance and support to youth groups. Our DBS safeguarding support changed as we went to an online service in partnership with Thirtyone:eight and in the first 4 months we processed over 100 applications! Over the summer period we relocated all our games pack equipment and carried out an inventory of over 150 different activities. As a benefit to our members, we produced a comprehensive games pack catalogue including full equipment list & photos, instructions and individual risk assessments. We also improved our booking procedures to help groups access the equipment. ## **DELIVERING ACTIVITIES, PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES** We provide a variety of activities that suit different ages, group sizes and locations, with a noticeable demand for the sumo suits, curling, archery and human hungry hippos. The 28 arts & crafts activities available have continued to be a popular request for all groups and in the last three months of the period, we visited over 40 different groups and engaged with around 800 young people. Our new team has created a varied events programme as well as continuing with popular events such as; the night walk, quiz night and cycle ride. We have also added a craft workshop, leaders info night, football tournament and ‘Cube Challenge’. Our second ‘Unite’ event for church youth groups will run in the summer and we are planning to resume our youth groups annual awards celebration. We are working on a new project initiative to set up youth wellbeing cafes in designated areas that support the mental health and wellbeing of young people by offering volunteer training, an activities programme, and professional support. ## **YOUTH DEVELOPMENT STAFF** with young people to organise the annual Youth Summit event at the Northampton Guildhall in November. This is where local youth provision and services are showcased and children from local schools are invited. Young people lead on the event planning, and they also run workshops and discussions on selected topics. ## **TRAINING YOUTH LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS** We continue to provide a range of training sessions aimed to support voluntary sector groups, these include 11 different topics such as safeguarding, autism awareness, first aid, health & wellbeing and youth work skills. We have appreciated the support of trained staff at our Whitemoor Lakes and Pioneer Centre who now run our first aid courses. James Yates Nick Cox Zoe Robinson Laura Phillips Becky Whiting Jon Ford Richard Houghton Madeleine Fregoni Danielle James Iain Anderson ## **REFLECTION** By working closely together we have made a remarkable return in rebuilding our support service to youth group leaders, young people, and partners. I would like to thank the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who continue to give their free time and energy to young people, and the new members of our team who have come in and ‘hit the ground running’ with commitment and enthusiasm to provide the best possible service ## **DEVELOPING YOUNG PEOPLE’S POTENTIAL** The new team successfully managed to bring 13 young people through our Emerging Leaders training by running two weekends at the Pioneer Centre, and a one-day event at King’s Park. This has put us back on track to start the programme again in the autumn term with a new group of potential young leaders. Plans are developing for the young leaders who have completed our training, to continue to meet as a group and plan activities including an expedition. We also worked **IAIN ANDERSON** YOUTH DEVELOPMENT MANAGER **“Thank you so much for being a part of Bugbrooke Youth Club. Not just tonight but for the whole 20 years.

This is achieved by: - Bringing together people who are willing to further the aim - To stimulate interest in the work of youth groups and assist in finding youth workers - To unite youth groups in the county of Northamptonshire; to assist the work of existing youth groups and help in the formation and development of new groups - To assist in organising conferences and training courses for youth workers, members and others interested in the welfare of young people. Strategies for achieving the aim have included building and development of a number of major facilities, including the Hereward Wake Training and Conference Centre, Benham Sports Centre and Indoor Tennis Centre at King’s Park, Northampton; Pioneer Activity and Conference Centre near Kidderminster; Whitemoor Lakes Centre, near Lichfield; Frontier Centre near Irthlingborough – now run by Rock UK; The Ranch Outdoor Discovery Centre in North Wales – now run by the CMC Adventure; and an Expedition Base on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides – now known as the Scaladale Centre and run by Lewis and Harris Youth Clubs Association. NAYC helps young people by setting up and supporting youth clubs and providing activities (sports, arts, and leadership training) which improve self-esteem, social skills, combat under-achievement and promote inclusion. Residential experiences provide opportunities for young people to become positive about the future. The work specifically offers those living in poverty, difficult circumstances and young people at-risk, those with disabilities, special needs, serious and life-threatening illnesses, the opportunity to develop their character, independence, team-work and self-confidence – breaking the chain of boredom, truancy, vandalism, addiction, petty crime and drugs. ## **JOHN M. WHITTAKER MA** CHIEF EXECUTIVE 7 ## **FIRST PRINCIPLES** 1. The Motivation of our Work springs from the personal faith of the Staff. A love of God issuing in a love for others. 2. The Aims and Objectives of our Work are to serve young people and their needs rather than a mission to win their allegiance. To serve in Christ’s name all kinds of young people and not to be restrictive or exclusive. To serve in a completely open and secular setting. 3. Our Aim has not been to ‘Preach or Convert’ but to serve and help. To achieve this we have had to provide ‘Tools to do a Job’. Our job is clear to us - the tools we have provided are our services and centres. Attitudes often alienate adults from the young and create a generation gap. We have tried to offer, through our service, centres and staff ‘un-judging friendship’, non-judgmental attitudes’, ‘accepting love’, to create a bridge over the gap. 4. Our Methods of Fund Raising. To depend, whenever possible, on Direct Giving rather than on money raising methods, for two reasons, (i) to set an example to the young people we seek to serve and lead, and (ii) to relieve our staff from time-consuming efforts, so that they can devote their time and energies to the real job in hand. 5. Faith. There has always been a deep element of Faith throughout the life of the Association. A faith in people and a faith in God. A faith to believe that if something is needed and it is right, and action is taken, provision will be made for that something. 6. Responding to the Need. The Associations work has developed through an awareness of need and attempting to do something about meeting that need, often in cooperation with others. 7. The Function of the Staff. The Association has endeavoured, over the years to appoint men and women to its staff who are committed to the Christian way of life and who feel a sense of dedication to their job. It has been found that then they can be trusted to get on with their job, with support and guidance. 8. The Right Kind of Support. The Association has been blessed through the years with a Board that invested trust in the appointed full-time staff, who have filled a role of being supportive, encouraging and constructive in their guidance. This has been one of the main strengths of the Association. **COMPILED BY THE LATE** **REV HARRY WHITTAKER MBE** ## ## **KING’S PARK CONFERENCE CENTRE** **King’s Park provides facilities for training over 20,000 leaders from the UK and abroad every year. We take pride in serving these leaders from faith and community groups, schools, special needs groups and charities knowing that they are focused on serving others.** This report gives a glimpse of what has happened during the last year and shows that God’s promise to bring people together from all over the world still stands today. King’s Park has two large meeting rooms, a middle-sized room and several small break out rooms. The 105 twin bedrooms and two-family rooms are all en-suite and our dining room can hold up to 175 guests. During the past year we have welcomed 136 group bookings, made beds for over 4,500 people and our kitchen team prepared nearly 20,000 meals. In October alone we served nearly 1,000 guests! In May Spectrum a Christian Ministry and one of our precious regular groups, Kerygma180 (K180) were our first guests filling this place with life again. This moment was both wonderful and strange at the same time. During June and July, pupils’ laughter filled our hallways again. It became very popular for schools to book the unique 2-day/1-night ‘Inspire’ sports residential. Mainly Northamptonshire primary schools enjoyed the fully catered and sports packed 2-days, helping the pupils to gain selfconfidence through activities and sports, develop friendships and feel very special, as all the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms. During the summer holidays we were pleased to see groups back enjoying their events with fewer restrictions. The conferences of Heaven Seekers, the youth group LoveWorld UK and the Jewish Girls Summer Camp were just some of the highlights. The autumn continued to be busy, in September Kensington Temple was the first group to bring large numbers into the Centre. October was packed with bookings, including Churches United Fellowship UK and New Testament Church of God with a great exhibition. We remember the smell of the fantastic Jerk Chicken in the car park! Saint Mark’s Orthodox Church young adults camp is always a delight to have with us. In December it was great to see the British Tennis Coaches Association using two of our facilities – the Conference Centre and the Tennis Centre. The dress code is suddenly different: Please come sporty, with round yellow accessories and super speedy new rackets for the killer serve. The winter months and early spring are usually popular for conferences and church weekends away. For the first time we hosted the Church of Nazarene and magic was in the air with the Christian Magicians, along with the conference for Open-Air Mission. A big shout out to all the group organisers, we recognise that it has been challenging to organise an event, getting the numbers right whilst following the restriction guidelines, it has not been easy but a big WELL DONE to all of you. We are also grateful for our staff and their endless efforts – we couldn’t do it without you. You have been loyal and committed to continue the work which started here so many years ago. A big shout out to the Sports Centres, Whitemoor Lakes and Pioneer for being great ‘sister centres’. Last year we mentioned our outdoor development plans. The good news is, we have just received planning permission, you can be excited for the next annual report! **JASMIN HOLMAN GILLIAN MURRAY** BUSINESS HOSPITALITY MANAGER MANAGER **MANAGEMENT** Gillian Murray Jasmin Holman Gillian Murray Jasmin Holman **BOOKINGS TEAM** Lydia Masoura Kate Bhamra **DUTY MANAGER** Richard Vizor Barry Peck Mark Ingram **BOOKINGS TEAM** Lydia Masoura Kate Bhamra ## **HOUSEKEEPING TEAM** Helen O’Sullivan Joanne Troop Zoe Keeber Ruth Haughton Dawn Barry Marcia Caleb Lauren Mears Caroline Evans Zhanna Ekam Nordia Evans **KITCHEN TEAM** Steve Merryshaw Armando Fregoni David Allibon Simon Holley Daniel Baker Peter Parker Shani Keeber William Cater Roslyn Warner Emma Ross 9 ## **KING’S PARK SPORTS** **King’s Park Sports is made up of two centres; Benham Sports Centre, which is a large multisport facility opened in 1990, and King’s Park Tennis Centre, which is an indoor and outdoor purpose-built tennis venue added slightly later in 1998.** Our aim is to operate these facilities to the highest possible standard, whilst offering affordable and accessible opportunities within sport to the local community. We work with a number of partner organisations in order to provide these opportunities, including; NTGA, with whom we share the Benham Sports Centre – NTGA provide sessions in trampolining, gymnastics & climbing, and have been an integral part of the centre since it’s opening. Pacesetter Sports run school holiday activity camps on our behalf, and Tennis4All operate a tennis coaching & tournament programme. We also work with Sk8house, who run the main rollerskating sessions at the centre. Looking back, it was a difficult beginning to the year, with the country just starting to be released from the third Covid lockdown. During April we continued with the various maintenance tasks around the centres, in preparation for our eventual reopening following six months of closure after the second and third Covid lockdowns. Apart from the obvious frustration at having to still be closed, this time was used effectively to make the centres look as good as possible for the return of our customers! 17th May was the day we finally reopened, after having closed our doors on 4th November. We were operating under certain restrictions, but we had become accustomed to this following the requirement to operate in this way during our initial reopening after the first lockdown. Our tennis & badminton customers were delighted to return, as were the various external sports groups & clubs which could operate within the guidelines. June saw the return of our ‘Inspire’ school residential visits, with local primary schools staying overnight at King’s Park and enjoying a programme of sporting activities over two days. The majority of remaining Covid restrictions were dropped in July, which meant that our Saturday evening roller disco event (provided by Sk8house) could return. These sessions were instantly popular again from week 1! August saw a return a return of our holiday activity camps (provided by Pacesetter Sports). These camps were very well attended, with over 1000 places being sold. At the end of the month, we hosted the tennis county championships, following a year’s break for the Covid pandemic. In September we welcomed back Moulton Bowls Club back for their regular weekly bookings following an enforced absence of 18 months. We also saw the long-awaited return of our tennis coaching programme, tennis coach education courses, and weekly adult netball league. October meant the return of the Sunday junior netball league, which occupies Benham for the majority of Sundays throughout the year. Due to the popularity of the Saturday roller-skating, Sk8house also began hosting regular sessions on Fridays, with over 400 people now attending the two skating evenings each during the times of closure. February saw the centres host another children’s school holiday camp, which was well attended as always, and full of fun activities. week. In addition, the Tennis Centre welcomed back the LTA’s junior regional events, with the best junior players in the area coming to compete at King’s Park. During October, we also held another children’s activity camp in the half term break. All of this has been made possible by the team of staff at King’s Park Sports, who have shown great flexibility to manage the various restrictions and differing working patterns which have been necessary because of the pandemic. We look forward to the next twelve months building on all this great work. In March the Tennis Centre was the venue for another 3-day LTA County Cup Tennis event. This featured players from all over the UK competing for their county at various venues across the country. During November and December we hosted the BTCA national conference at the Tennis & Conference Centres, meanwhile the Tennis Centre also welcomed players for an LTA County Cup event over 3 days. This month topped off one of the busiest winters which King’s Park Sports has ever seen. It has been fantastic to see all of the regular individuals & groups returning following the pandemic and resuming the sports & activities which they missed greatly **BEN WHITTAKER** KING’S PARK SPORTS MANAGER In January we reintroduced birthday parties at the centres for the first time since before the pandemic. A revamped party room and brand-new bouncy castle were on offer as part of our ever-popular birthday party offering! ## **STAFF LIST** **Leisure Assistants** Riley Wass Brad Smith Sienna Jane-Gray Florence McMorrow Poppy Duff Amrit Singh Lewis Nash **Centre Manager** Ben Whittaker **Duty Managers** Matthew Brown Bobbie Richards Shane Thompson Jonathan Oelrich Mitch Longden Reece Drage Sue Brown Tom Drage James Keeler Chloe Keeler Patrick Mangan **Assistant Manager** Emily Allison 11 ## **PIONEER CENTRE** **Pioneer is set in a beautiful rural setting near Kidderminster offering a high standard of accommodation and an extensive range of activities. A variety of groups from locations across the UK and beyond come and experience excellent facilities and programmes and many return every year.** Pandemic? What Pandemic you might ask? Ever since the Government removed restrictions and enabled us to, we have had residential groups back (May 2021) and the Centre has been buzzing with life once again. Many have come through the doors seeking much needed respite and, in some way, a break from the ‘pandemic’ way of life. We have been delighted to provide that safe space! It is with great thankfulness to God that there was never a catastrophic virus outbreak onsite or incidence between groups throughout this time and the staff absences and group cancellations have steadily eased since Christmas 2021. The country has been crying out for the opportunity to get young people out and about again, and although youth groups and church conferences have been slower to return, schools have been desperate to return, braving the myriad of rules, measures, and risks. Within the school activity residential industry, a huge gulf has developed between ever increasing demand and less and less provision availability, which has been worsened by the staff shortages in hospitality and activity instructing. This has meant that a lot of schools have been let down by their activity provider through last minute cancellations. It is with joy that we have not cancelled a single booking. The Pioneer staff team has gone from strength to strength this last year. We have finally had a return to pre-pandemic group sizes and have welcomed new staff to cover the increased demand. It is with continued thanks to the staff, new and old, for their dedicated and passionate approach to their work. The comments received from group leaders is most often that the staff ‘go above and beyond’ and I am proud to be able to lead this team in the valuable service they provide. The Kickstart program has continued with 19 recruits taking part, most of whom are now in employment – several with Pioneer! Last August saw the first full new intake of 15 German and French voluntary workers on our Firm Foundations scheme and this in spite of Brexit and Covid. The Centre continues to develop its best attributes, aiming to simply provide better for no extra cost. The previously built outdoor classroom has been such a hit with groups that funding was granted, and another outdoor classroom has been built and is already always full for briefings, lunches, reflections and outdoor education. Other developments include a new dedicated team building area with giant group seesaw, and improvements to the accessibility of some outdoor paths and activity entrances with Tarmac surface. So, “forgetting what is behind” we are “straining toward what is ahead” (Phi 3:13) is our new clarion call for the upcoming year as the Centre exceeded expectations for this year with nearly 2,000 bed nights per month already by June 2021 and rising to almost 3,000 by October. With 293 separate bookings, resulting in 12,406 Guests who enjoyed 62,976 meals. We can also say that 48% of these bookings were our Schools Action Plus Program, many of which brought the year groups who missed out in 2020. We also saw a surprising increase with 19% made up of school day bookings, as an alternative to a residential where a Local Authority would have otherwise cancelled the experience. ## **“Lovely People!”** Zone2, Bowdon Parish Bishop’s Castle Primary School **“All staff have been superb. It is much appreciated because it makes our job managing the children so much easier.”** Sadly, our family conferences make less than 10% of these figures and we have yet to see these groups return in full force – but there are good signs for 2023. May you be blessed this year by a residential visit of your own – at least you know a more-thanwelcoming option! **“We are so happy here; we have booked again for next year!”** ROC Solid, Riverside Church **“Great accommodation.

The Lord has blessed us, been faithful and the fruit of our labour will be clear at the end of the year when we will count the number of young people that have successfully passed through – releasing their potential. **Whitemoor Lakes is the newest addition to ACUK – a purpose built lakeside conference and activity centre, enjoying views across a beautiful 40 acre lake. The centre offers a full range of activities, including sailing. The centre was developed from a vision John and Sylvia Gilmour had to help fulfil the potential of lakes that were being created following the extraction of sand and gravel.** Whitemoor Lakes has had to make concessions considering staffing constraints, however, we haven’t cancelled any groups! We have made things work because to us it is hugely important that we deliver. Our years of success have been driven by groups coming and speaking of the fabulous time they have had. As a direct result of word spreading among schools and groups alike, the covid bounce back has been phenomenal. ## **THE SUCCESSES THROUGH ADVERSITY** It has been a difficult and challenging year thus far, with compromises, difficult decisions and outrageous demand for our services! Who knew, that in May 2021 when we reopened our doors, our winter running through to spring 2022 would be so successful. Whitemoor Lakes has seen its busiest winter / spring season ever! It has challenged us, shaped us, and made us immensely proud to work here. ## **SCOOP OF THE YEAR** What a pong! When Whitemoor Lakes staff inform me there’s a “pong”, they most certainly will be referring to our waste treatment plant. The Centre isn’t currently on mains sewage, I tend to think of each flush / shower as a small bit of biochemistry where some brilliant micro-organisms are hard at work. The process is called Anaerobic digestion, it is a sequence of processes There is little let-up for demand in the summer months, with each month having several schools placed on hold in case of cancellations (highly unlikely). Our challenge has been staffing the demand, what with the sad by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. These organisms promote several chemical processes in converting the biomass to biogas, in turn treating the water, to ensure clean water is pumped away. It’s simple, yet highly effective. This brings me to Centre activities, a simple but highly effective place, where each department is intrinsic for the smooth running of the Centre. There are many similarities in that if things are not running right – I get to hear about the “pong”. It’s been one of those years. Who knew recruitment would have been this hard post 2020-21 pandemic? Not I... we face one of the toughest labour markets not seen in several decades, whereby there are more vacant jobs than the unemployed population. Compounded by a steep cost of living rise, also not seen since the 1970’s. We have prayed that our vacant roles would be filled, and our ever-faithful God has come good. We are almost back up to full strength in every area of operations. I must shine the light on Barry Hayes (General Manager) for his steadfast dogged resolve interviewing, recruiting, and repeating such that has ensured the right people, fit the right roles. Boat “Sylvia” in honour of Sylvia Gilmour, whom alongside her husband John, made Whitemoor Lakes what it is today. Thank you, Barry, I salute you. I personally know of the struggles you have faced. My gratitude, thanks and prayers go to each and every staff member, without whom none of what I have written about would be possible. ## **LOOKING FORWARD** ## **WHAT’S GOING ON?** The remainder of the year shows great promise, we will be set and ready to deliver even better services. The re-development of our old boat “shed” has seen two 40 ft shipping containers transformed in to a “FORT” clad in larch wood and oak. This move makes the containers invisible and brings both security and better all-round storage facilities for our fleets of canoes, sailing boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards. **ANDREW DAMANT** HEAD OF CENTRE Thanks to some great funding successes, we have a new floating Pontoon, complete with swim ramp being installed mid-August. This new addition to the lake will permit excellent access into the water for all users of the Centre including wheelchair users. The Sport England grant for floodlighting to light up ten activity areas is on-going, with the aim to be set for the darker nights. It is our hope that the unveiling will take place this summer to coincide with yet another funding success – our new safety boat. This new boat along with the Pontoon will enable Whitemoor Lakes to really stand out in the delivery of water sports. We have named this new Safety There are many other smaller projects afoot, but it’s time to turn my attention to those heroes that have made adversity a success – the staff of Whitemoor Lakes.

Our NTGA Ability Zone programme, which caters for people with additional needs and disabilities, welcomes over 100 participants for weekly classes.** **In June 2022, we were extremely proud to congratulate former Managing Director Tracy Whittaker-Smith on her award of an MBE for services to Trampoline Gymnastics. Tracy was recognised with the Queen’s Honour following four decades of commitment to the sport, including the building of the Trampoline Centre, which at the time was the first of its kind in the UK. Tracy thanked everyone for their support including NAYC and said: “I’ve always been passionate about the ability for sport to help change people’s lives and encourage them to achieve whatever they set out to do. I hope this award helps inspire others to follow their passion and dreams”.** **We continue to have strong links with local organisations including Northamptonshire Sport and in partnership with them we signed up for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme which delivers funded school holiday club places to ensure that disadvantaged children, young people, and families have access to healthy food and enriching activities throughout holiday periods. To date we have provided access to over 300 children.** **Throughout the academic year we have enjoyed hosting a range of groups, including supporting the University of Northampton Trampoline Squad** **and hosting weekly sessions for 2 local secondary schools. Our primary school activity days have seen us welcome no less than 18 local schools since Easter, with support from NAYC and King’s Park Sports.** **Competitively, it has been a welcome return to external events in the aftermath of the pandemic. Three NTGA members were selected for the 2021 World Championships which took place in Baku, Azerbaijan. Tyler Cole-Dyer delivered an outstanding performance on his way to securing a junior bronze medal. In June 2022 four NTGA members represented Great Britain at the European Championships in Rimini, Italy including Will Sheridan who won an individual junior bronze and team gold.** **Also returning this year were British Gymnastics education courses with King’s Park Trampoline Centre hosting several dates for teachers and coaches courses respectively. We will also be hosting Regional trampoline training camps for East Midlands Gymnastics.** **Our Recreational Trampoline Classes continue to go from strength to strength providing a platform for participants who want to access trampolining for fun, fitness and to move into competitive training.** **NTGA would not be where it is without everyone’s invested time, effort and continued achievement, so a sincere thank you to everyone involved. We are also thankful for the support and strong partnership we have with NAYC and King’s Park Sports.** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Frontier
Centre
**----- End of picture text -----**
**Frontier Centre located near Irthlingborough in Northamptonshire was established by NAYC and has been run by Rock UK for the past 18 years. The centre with its 120 acre site has access to Stanwick Lakes in the beautiful Nene Valley for water based activities.** I am delighted to report that a year on, since we began trading out of the almost crippling effects of the lockdown, Rock UK – Frontier Centre and our 3 other centres (Kent, S. Wales & Scottish Borders) are returning to pre-pandemic trading-levels and by God’s grace our organisation is in a stronger position than ever before. We are again heading into a busy summer here in Northants, having successfully hosted a large group of churches, when some 600 people spent a weekend at Frontier Centre participating in games, learning and worship and with another large group joining us in a few weeks’ time – it is really starting to feel like we’re “back”. Today I walked around the centre and observed children having an exciting & even an exhilarating time with squeals and shrieks as they negotiated obstacles at height or abseiled down 40ft walls – under the watchful eye of our qualified instructors! It’s always easy to “sell” our centres on a hot day but as outdoor adventure centres, we operate come rain or shine and so we look forward to continuing to serve for the season we’ve been called to at our centre, with the additional benefit of honouring God in our organisation. **Richard Sewell, Centre Director** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The Ranch in North Wales is now run by CMC Adventure. The Centre was founded in 1974 to help young people to ‘develop their physical, mental, spiritual capabilities as individuals and members of society’. The purpose of the centre is to provide quality courses in outdoor activities and field studies, for all ages and abilities within a framework of traditional Christian values and standards. NAYC owned the centre until it was bought by CMC in 2012. **----- Start of picture text -----**

SCALADALE
CENTRE
**----- End of picture text -----**
The Scaladale Centre is a purpose built residential activity centre situated in Ardvourlie on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides opened in 2000. It is run by the Lewis and Harris Youth Clubs Association on a not for profit basis and accommodates 28 people in 4* Hostel accommodation. With stunning views and beaches the centre provides many outdoor activities including climbing and sailing and access to the great outdoors that is second to none. Scaladale Centre replaced the Ardvourlie Expedition Base established in 1970 by NAYC. We still have a strong link to the centre and enjoy using the facilities and encouraging local young people affiliated to NAYC to participate in expeditions. 17 ## **BACK ON TRACK & MORE!** DISCOVERYCENTREUGANDA.ORG **“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of faith.” Hebrews 12 v1-2** We are very thankful that this year we have seen things getting back on track. In January students in Uganda returned to schools, which had been closed or only partially open for more than eighteen months. The Centre recently hosted a large sports gathering with ten schools participating in an athletics competition. The eight lane 400 metre grass track, marked out on the lower sports field, was very much appreciated by the competitors - a very exciting event! As well as schools regularly using the facilities for a variety of sports the team at the Centre regularly visit schools bringing games, songs, and the Gospel message - these are readily received. Groups at the schools can reach up to a thousand students at a time. Football continues to be very popular and regular practices and matches take place, this is not just restricted to football skills, but also the development of Godly character and values in life and on the sports field. We were extremely thankful to a friend of D.C. living in Hawaii who sponsored a large football tournament at the Centre and were delighted he was able to visit recently. One of our goals is to be a blessing to the local community; this has continued this year with food distribution, and another friend of D.C. sponsored the building of a new latrine block at a nearby school. It has been five years since the official opening of the media centre, with its recording studio. Under the direction of staff member Philip and the “Notivate” team its reach into schools has grown considerably, resulting in the production of some excellent songs, but more importantly raising the sense of self-confidence and self-worth of many. Recently some high-profile Ugandan musicians visited and stayed a few days, not only recording songs, **----- Start of picture text -----**

but encouraging Philip in recording and post-production techniques. We are so grateful for the continued support, both financial and prayerful from the Friends of D.C. The Annual Gathering held on-line in November was a great time for friends from the UK, other countries and of course Uganda to come together. ## **AND MORE...** With the full enthusiastic agreement of the staff of D.C, Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Leadership and the Trustees have decided to launch a new development later in the year. YWAM’s core programme is a six-month residential course called DTS (Discipleship Training School). We intend to run one of these courses at D.C. with a specific focus on sports. Initially there is a lecture phase of 12 weeks followed by an outreach phase of 8 weeks. This is a significant step up for the Centre and as well as having a local reach, could potentially have a global reach. ## **RICH JOHNSON** _ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES OF ADVENTURE PROJECTS TRUST_ **----- Start of picture text -----**

Discovery Centre is a residential activity centre, run in partnership between YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and the UK registered charity Adventure Projects Trust. This unique facility was born out of a vision of NAYC to develop a centre based on similar principles to their centre in the UK, but expressed in a way that is relevant to a third world situation. The centre overlooks Lake Victoria in very beautiful grounds extending to over 20 acres.18 ## **FINANCE REPORT** After lockdowns and restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020/21 activities were gradually resumed from May onwards with a considerable bounce back for the remainder of 2021/22. NAYC/ACUK continued to be grateful for various grants and to donors during this difficult period. ACUK covered all its running costs and made a contribution to NAYC. NAYC undertakes the work of the charity serving and helping young people bringing together those who support the work and providing training facilities for youth leaders. Special thanks again go to our Heads of Centre, Centre Managers, Activity Managers, Hospitality/ Catering/Housekeeping Managers for their support during this year. Many thanks also go to our staff and supporters. **EMMA FLETCHER** COMPANY ACCOUNTANT ## **NAYC Group Statement of Financial Activities 2021-22 Income and Endowments from:** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT TRUSTEE REPORT** My days in church youth clubs don’t feel that long ago. However, I have to be honest, it’s now 34 years since I was considered a young person. As I look back on those days I know I was blessed with many amazing experiences in a number of youth clubs, and church run events. It has given me a passion for youth work as I see it supporting, shaping, and giving opportunities to young people from all backgrounds. As I look back on those days, one of the most significant times was when our youth group would get together with other youth clubs from around the area. This might be for a weekend away or for some other type of youth event? An important aspect for me was realising that I was part of something much bigger, to feel connected to others, to develop new friendships, and to not feel so isolated. These aspects were all really important to me in my teenage years. And that is one of the key strengths of the youth development team at NAYC. With a county wide remit to support youth workers, youth groups, and to bring young people together, they are uniquely positioned to give greater opportunities to young people beyond what they can experience in their own group. We all need people who enable us and as well as equip, empower, energise, and encourage. This is a key role for the youth development team to enable greater opportunity, connection, and enjoyment for young people. They play a vital role in shaping young people’s lives through these experiences. You never know what might happen and be possible. And finally, I’d like to say thank you to two people, Terry, and Andrew. They were both youth leaders when I was a teenager. Terry mentored me, meeting with me for an hour every week for many years. He invested in me in amazing ways and helped shape me into the person I am today. Andrew spoke over me aged 18, saying that one day I would become a church leader. I wasn’t sure about it then, but I know that it began my journey to where I am today. Both of those people I met through youth work and coming together with others. So my dream for the youth development at NAYC is that through their work, all young people across the county will have an increased opportunity to benefit from these kinds of events and experiences just as I did. We need to continue to support and encourage the team as new opportunities emerge across the county and their wisdom and experience in youth work is delivered in partnership with youth clubs/groups, churches, volunteer sector and strategy services. **REV ADAM EAKINS** TRUSTEE 19 ## A PASSION FOR PEOPLE At the heart of the community, we are proud to support NAYC. ## “ The support NAYC provides for young people year on year is immense.
