FIRECLOUD TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT 01.07.23 - 30.06.24 ## **CONTACT INFORMATION** Name: FireCloud Scottish Charity Number: SCO47509 Address: Our Holy Redeemer Presbytery, South Bank Street, Clydebank, G81 1PH Email: - Website: www.fire cloud.org Facebook: FireCloud Twitter: @FireCloud1 Instagram: @_FireCloud ## **CHARITY TRUSTEES** 2 ## **WELCOME** 2023-24 has been another whirlwind year for FireCloud. This was the year we turned 17 and we continued to develop our mission with a special focus on children and young people. We worked with 3691 young people (aged 10-18) across 40 schools this year. Beyond that, we worked with a further 2066 people of all ages in the wider community. We are delighted our reach and participant engagement levels continue to pack a significant punch for the size of our organisation. At the same time, the growing scale of our outreach has required a matching jump in staff input and operational support. It takes a very dedicated and talented team of volunteers and staff to reach people of all ages with high quality creative education. It also takes significant resources. We are learning how to grow and we are incredibly grateful to those individual donors and grant funders this year who have recognised this effort and helped us make this growth happen. 2023-24 has been a year filled with faith and hard work at FireCloud and we are looking ahead with hope. As the world experiences a growing sense of uncertainty, conflict, anxiety and loneliness, FireCloud is committed to being a consistent and creative voice for love and courage in our community. Our mission is to help people believe their life matters; we intend to work even harder at this in the year ahead. Welcome to our annual report for 2023-2024. I believe this charity is ambitious because it has a powerful vision it is compelled to share. It has already demonstrated its ability to adapt and innovate, drawing on the giftedness and talents of a wide pool to deliver its mission to a growing target. It has grown so that it can reach young people, the elderly, schools and community groups. Its use of the arts, in all its expressions, in varying circumstances and environments, has developed significantly and brought a whole new cohort of volunteers and participants into its realm. The charity has been influenced by best practise in schools and has been able to share with them its insights and methods in engaging children and young people. (Participant feedback) 3 ## **OUR MISSION** We use every imaginative means to live with faith, purpose and joy. We inspire those we encounter to believe their lives matter and we invite them to use their God-given talents to build a more courageous and loving world _._ ## **OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSES** ## **Advancing Religion (we call this ‘Celebrating Faith’)** _We advance religion in accordance with Catholic beliefs and values through the provision of faith formation and learning; we provide opportunities for prayer, devotion and creative experiences that share and celebrate Christianity._ ## **Advancing Education (we call this ‘Inspiring Giftedness’)** _We advance education through the provision of learning opportunities that grow self-esteem, develop giftedness and inspire vocational confidence. In particular, but not exclusively, we build community participation and development through creative and performing arts._ ## **HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE** ## **We create a vibrant community of love, friendship and joy and we encourage people to believe their lives matter** _**What this means**_ - _Everyone is welcomed and nurtured within the FireCloud community. We work hard to help people feel loved, be confident of their own goodness and be assured of others around them who care. Our feedback shows this is the thing people value most highly about FireCloud and one of the areas in which we are most effective._ _**How we do it**_ - _Through our projects and events, we create regular opportunities to provide a warm welcome, convey a sense of care and belonging, and give people genuine chances to build new, joyful friendships. We actively build relationships with people of all ages and backgrounds by inviting wide participation in everything we do._ ## **We help people grow in faith** _**What this means**_ - _Through our work, we help people to become increasingly open to God, able to learn about Catholic faith, encouraged to pray, given the opportunity for faith formation and to recognise God at work in everyday things._ _**How we do it**_ - _We make faith-filled creative content such as retreats, workshops and performance pieces that share and celebrate the Catholic faith. We pray often and have a group of dedicated intercessors who meet regularly._ 4 **We empower people to find their sense of purpose, potential and vocation** _**What this means**_ - _Through our work, people can use their talents, be empowered in their gifts, discover or remember their vocational purpose and feel more confident to pursue their deepest hopes for their own lives._ _**How we do it**_ - _We provide ongoing development opportunities for all volunteers or participates in the FireCloud community. People tend to stay with us for several years and we always encourage intentional learning and reflection on how they use their gifts and what they feel called to do with their lives._ **We develop self-esteem, confidence, and talent so those we work with can transform the world for good** _**What this means**_ - _We do things to encourage people to act with courage and love, to empower them to challenge hopelessness and to animate the world and make it better. This is about our values and the ethos which underlies all our community engagement._ _**How we do it**_ - _we explore the issues and questions that people find difficult and work to create positive, hopeful examples that can encourage people in the face of their own struggles. Our projects and events are designed to share and learn from the real-life stories and experiences of people in our community who have found ways to live hopefully._ FireCloud enhances my self-worth. It brings joy to my life. (FireCloud participant) I love the feeling of being part of something that brings joy to others. (FireCloud Volunteer) 5 ## **OUR SCOPE AND REACH IN 2023-24: IN SUMMARY** A total of **5757 people benefited from FireCloud’s charitable work in 2023/24** . We worked with 5672 people in-person and a further 85 people made use of the audio, video, or livestream resources we provided digitally online. In this year, we worked with **3691 young people (aged 10-18) across 40 schools** as well as **2066 people up to 90+ years of age** . We worked across the central belt of Scotland and beyond. FireCloud has two charitable purposes with eight programmes of work: ## **Celebrating Faith** - Prayer & Music Ministry - Faith Discussion & Exploration - Retreats & Workshops - Relationship Building & Outreach **Advancing education & giftedness** - Music, Song & Dance - Art, Craft & Design - Stories, Words & Drama - Vocational Development **In 2023/24, we ran 33 projects** to deliver on our charitable purposes. These projects **offered 280 opportunities and events for people to engage** and participate in what we do. We had a total of **72 volunteers** in the year ending June 2024 **who donated more than 4385 hours of voluntary time** to FireCloud’s mission. Even a very prudent estimate would give this an equivalent market value of **more than £80,000 of gifted labour** to help people in our local community. Seven people also worked for FireCloud on a sessional basis in 2023/24 to help deliver our programmes. Together they made up **just over 1.6 full time equivalent staff time** . I can’t tell you how much of a blessing FireCloud has been to me over the years. Thanks for everything FireCloud has brought me. (Participant) 6 ## **WORKING TOWARDS OUR GOALS: FIVE BIG THINGS IN TEN YEARS** In 2017, FireCloud’s volunteers identified five big things we want to achieve by 2027. Meeting these strategic goals will allow us to bring about the many dreams, hopes and ideas we have for how FireCloud can grow to support more local people and reach those who need us most. These strategic priorities guide our work in any given year: 1. Grow and strengthen our community of volunteers. 2. Make sure our charity is sustainable for the long term. 3. Get better at sharing information about our mission, projects and events so more people can participate. 4. Grow our provision for children, schools and young people aged 16-24. 5. Develop our outreach to engage with a wider range of participants and beneficiaries in new and different ways. Watch our summary of how we delivered on these priorities in 2023/24: https://youtu.be/iPwrBnkpSIs 7 YOUTH HIGHLIGHTS YOUTH ACADEMY We worked with 42 young people from three schools to launch our newacademy in Clydebank; a place to learn creative skills in o joyful youth community. PRIEST, PROPHET AND KING Our retreat team worked with 1209 (10-11 yr. olds) and 85 staff across 35 primary schools inspiring love, courage and service for others ENCOUNTER Our high school retreat team worked with 790 (11-14 yr. olds) helping them to explore and encounter the voice of God in their lives. SUPPORT We provided strategic support, facilitation and leadership advice for several key youth agencies across Scotland. Thank you for inviting me to the Youth Academy Nativity. It was so heart-warming to hear and see our young people sing with such joy and happiness. What a job you are all doing. (Youth Academy Nativity Attendee) Excellent and extremely engaging. All pupils really enjoyed the sessions, particularly pupils who are less likely to get involved in group activities. (Youth Academy - teacher feedback) I think that the children were able to experience a high standard and variation of creative arts experiences. Dance, singing, arts and crafts all underpinned with important messages and values… the children would have liked more sessions purely because it brought so much enjoyment. (Youth Academy - teacher feedback) All of the workshops were excellent. Super participation from children who are very quiet. Some voices get lost in a big group (so this worked really well). Structure of the workshop was superb and really effective - I loved how the song was taught. (Retreat - teacher feedback) The tutors’ relationship style with the pupils was excellent and very positive. The activities were challenging and helped them consolidate all the teaching points about confirmation. This experience was very worthwhile and made our learning more physically relevant. (Retreat - teacher feedback) 9 CREATIVE HIGHLIGHTS BIG HAPPY NOISE Our community choir continued to be the heart of Firecloudwith weekly singing, laughter and a warm welcome.

Without these passionate, creative souls FireCloud simply would not be what it is. Our volunteers contribute to everything including designing and co-ordinating our work, making key decisions, composing brand new music, making the tea, designing retreats, keeping the books, planning, crafting, directing, producing, creating social media content, filming, taking pictures, baking, building and most of all, looking after the people who come through our doors. We are profoundly grateful for their efforts. Our sustainability also depends on having a strong board, staff and partners. In August 2023, we made dedicated time to review our progress against our own strategic hopes and set priorities for the years ahead. ## **LOOKING AHEAD TO 2024/2025** As we look to the year ahead, we will keep making every effort to grow our provision for children, schools and young people, to reach out to new and different people who could benefit from our work, to grow our presence in the local community, build sustainable infrastructure, and continue to support our growing community of volunteers, participants and beneficiaries. We are excited to create the next chapter for FireCloud in 2025! FireCloud for me is an absolute treasure and without it my life would be much duller and darker place. (FireCloud participant) 14 ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Type of governing document** We have a constitution. ## **Trustee recruitment and appointment** New trustees are approached by existing board members and invited to attend our meetings and undergo an induction process, until they understand the commitment and are ready to commit themselves as trustees. No external organisations can appoint charity trustees at FireCloud. ## **Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The trustees would like to build the reserves to three months but appreciate that this will take some time to achieve. The minimum level of reserves as we progress towards this goal will be one month (approximately £3,000) as this gives us operational comfort. The trustees regularly monitor the level of unrestricted reserves along with 6 months’ cash flow and will, if appropriate, amend the minimum to reflect the development of the charity. **Details of any deficit** There is no deficit in our funds. ## **Donated facilities and services** Our office and operating space is donated by our local Catholic church, St Margaret’s and Our Holy Redeemer parish, Clydebank. We are incredibly grateful for their support in helping us operate. ## **DECLARATION** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity trustees:** Date: 29[th] March 2025 - www.fire cloud.org Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. SCO47509 15 Enter SC No. below APPENDIX 2 Enter charity name below **SC** ## **FireCloud** ||**FireCloud**||||||||||||||||**SC**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Receipts andpayments accounts**|||||||||||||||| ||||Period start date||||||||Period end date||||||| ||**For the period**
