ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CHARITY DURING THE FINANCIAL
PERIOD
We began our year with our well-loved Ladies & Lassies camp. Having almost seventy
murns and daughters at this camp was very exciting. Our aim was to serve these families by
providing a restlul time away, where mums can spend quality time with their daughters,
creating stronger relationships and creating lasting memories together. This was followed up
by a weekly bible class for those who wished to join. Both the camp and the bible class have
been very successful.
Our school ministries have continued to develop over tho past year with the provision of
extra kids, clubs in various schools. Our volunteers have dona a superb job. Within th&
schools we work In, we alm to partner wlth the school and Its moral and splrltual goals.
Through our varied school assemblies, we have been able lo achieve this and assist several
headteachers achieve their goals in this area.
Our summer holiday clubs have taken our team around different parts of Scotland. Our aim
is to resource a local church and community to share God's lov8 With the families in their
areas. Wo were able to provide six different groups with everything to run those successful
weeks of fun activities for hundrods of childron. We could not have achieved this had it not
been for our hard-working volunteers. These holiday clubs are a highlight of what we do, and
we are so thrllled to ba abla to run these each summer and durlng Ihe October school break.

FUTURE PLANS
One of our goals from last year was to trust God for a new trustee for our charity and we
were delighted when Juian agreed to join our board. Already he has had a very positive and
fomard-thinking impact in tha work we do. A future goal is to seek lo develop a stronger
pastoral role among our service users, eswcially among our hard-working teachers. We
have seen how great thls need Is and by God's help we hope we can In part meet that need.
Wo are so pleased that ona of our staff members will become a mother in Novembar, for the
flrst time. We aim for thls tlme to seek a gap year person to cover thls maternity leave. So,
we are Fyaying for the right person for this role.
Another future Is to equlp others about the danger of onllne safety for chlldren and parents.
We have already begun this training and hope we can offer this to many other families. In
our modern age, w8 see this is a vital part of our pastoral care for families. We strongly
believe that our past and our futuro ministries are in God's hands. To Him and our staff and
volunteers we aro so very grateful.
