Public benefits
The direct benefits are primarily for those attending the Convention, as they absorb the Bible’s practical and relevant teaching about living life in our community. This impacts on all aspects of life, including the individual's relationship to God, through to the difference it makes to a person's moral framework to live a Christ-centred life. We
believe this has a significant impact on the wider community, as young people are shaped by and equipped with values that benefit not only their own life, but also the lives of others. IYC intends that the day of teaching at the Convention should have practical outcomes. To that end we encourage local youth leaders who bring their groups to the Convention to seek feedback and reflection on what the young people have learned, and to encourage them to live out what they have heard. The best way we can practically demonstrate and measure the above, is in the number of attendees at the Convention each year. We seek feedback from the young people and their youth leaders, as to what they have learned and how it has impacted them. There is no harm arising from any of our charitable purposes. The beneficiaries are all Convention attendees, parents of the young people who attend, and those who they come into contact with. There is no private benefit to anyone associated with IYC.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The IYC Committee carries out its purpose by organising an all day Convention, held annually in November. This involves a significant amount of planning and organisation, including: 1. Arranging the practical details of the Convention, with a particular focus on the speaker and supporting teaching programme. This also includes volunteer training,
liaising with suppliers, the provision of a Bookstall where supporting materials can be purchased, creation of a handbook for attendees, and child protection arrangements. 2. Marketing the event appropriately to young people, to ensure an attendance as close to our capacity of 1000 as possible. This involves liaising with local church youth groups, designing and delivering social media adverts, and maintaining our website. 3. Delivery of the Convention itself.
