NORWICH YOUTH FOR CHRIST
NYFC exists to take Christianity relevantly to young people so they can make their own informed decision about faith. We also seek to create new and relevant ways for young people to grow in their Christian committment. Our work is in churches, schools and communities through involvement in RE lessons, assemblies, lunch time/after school clubs, youth clubs, mentoring, youth events, camps and more.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net outgoing resource of £6,622 for the year, driven by rising costs and a slight decrease in overall giving. The trustees report that savings have been used frequently and can no longer be relied upon for cash flow, though they maintain a reserves policy target of £23,000 to ensure operations continue for at least three months. Per the balance sheet, unrestricted reserves stood at £41,542, which is above the stated policy target.
