The Big House (Ireland) Directors Report for the year ended 31 January 2023 Objectives and activities The objects for which the company is established ai¢.. The purposes of The Big House Ireland are: (a) the advancement of education of young people and adults such as may improve the health and wellbeing of young people. (b) the relief of distress or mental illness and the enhancement of the wellbeing of young people by the provision of pastoral support and counselling. (c) the promotion of social inclusion of young people in ￿0upS and organisations, particularly but not exclusiveEy those with a Christian ethos, through the provision of training, advice, supporL and other resources. (d) the helping of young people, especkally but not exclusively through leisure time activities, so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. (e) the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and othei leisure time occupations with the object of improving the conditions of Eif¢ of, particularly but not exclusively, young people living on the island of Ireland (the 'area of benefit")- (D the advancement of the Christian Faith by Evangelism Discipleship and other means. (g) the promotion of such other exclusively charitable purposes according to the law of Northen] Ireland as may from time to time be detern)ined by the Directors. The current strategy of The Big Hous¢ to deliver th¢s¢ putpos¢s has four main areas of activity: Residential Camps and Weekends Our camps and weekends are ¢ar¢fully plann¢d and developed to h¢lp young people explor¢ issues they may find difficult Rn a safe, caring and honest environment and as part of an enjoyable residential progTamm¢, delivcrcd by a team of well-traincd. experienccd and highly molivated volunteer leaders. Youth leaders are invited to come on the camps and weekends with young people from their group for whom they feel it would be helpful. Each camp aims to be a resource which supports the ongoing relational youth work of churches and Christian youth organisations and aims to communicate positive responses to di*Yicult issues shaped by expertise, experience and the Christian faith. Our Shine Camp also airns to provide an opportunity for young people with learning difficulties to experience being away on a youth camp, which is often not otherwise availabl¢ to them. Youth Leader Training The training delivered by The Big House is bascd on professional expertise, personal experience and Biblical reflection. W¢ aim to equip youth leaders to respond in Caring, practical and helpful ways when they encounter young people who are dealing with difficult issues or circumstances, also to understand the limitations of their role and know where to f￿d ￿rther help. We seek to equip them with an understanding of the issues, provided directly and Indirectly by experts in the field, with an insight into the young people's experience through personal stories, an understanding of how our Christian faith can shape our response, practical suggestions from those with experience of helping young people with the issue, and sources of further help and support. We deliver this training through our own events and at the invitation of churches, conferences and othei organisalions to participate in their leader training programmes. Page 2
