REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

The directors present their report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31st December 2022. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice, SORP (FRS102) – Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued in 2019.

1. Our nature, charitable purpose & approach

Our registered name is ‘ The International Service Fellowship Trust ’ (ISFT) and we are a member of the global alliance of agencies known as ‘ The Interserve Fellowship ’, which is a voluntary collaboration of fourteen independently registered charities that recruit, send and support Christian workers through Interserve national offices and a number of partnerships with other organisations. Our workers serve in Asia and the Arab world and among Asians and Arabs in Great Britain & Ireland (GBI). The international fellowship operates on the basis of agreed ‘foundation documents’, which include a ‘statement of faith’ and a common vision, purpose and values.

Our vision: To see lives and communities transformed through encounter with Jesus Christ.

Our purpose: To make Jesus Christ known among the peoples of Asia and the Arab World.

How we work:

Interserve is ‘evangelical’ in its understanding and practice of the Bible’s teaching. It works for , with and through the local church in around 40 countries across Asia and the Arab world, as well as among these peoples living in ‘diaspora’ in Great Britain & Ireland. Interserve works ‘wholistically’, or in an integrated way, serving the whole person – i.e. body, mind and spirit, within a social context.

We do this through:

Rather than running our own projects, Interserve workers are often placed into projects led by other charities, local churches and other institutions set up to meet the common good and in line with our charitable objects. In many cases, Interserve workers do not obtain a salary from other charities and organisations and are provided with living allowances and ministry expenses by Interserve. In setting long-term strategies, reviewing annual priorities and regularly discussing the impact that the activities of the charity are having, the Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and our charitable objects.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

2. Strategic Report

What we did in 2022: Activities, Achievements and Performance

Activities in 2022 somewhat normalised following the COVID-19 pandemic around the world as restrictions on travel to and from most countries was eased. At the end of the year 32 long-term workers (serving more than two years) were engaged in overseas work, either in situ or remotely from the UK. Between them, they were engaged in activities such as:

Within the UK, at the end of 2022, 49 long-term workers and 25 associate members were engaged in activities such as:

Our National Office support staff continued to provide:

As well as placement of workers overseas and within the UK to meet our objectives, we also continued to engage churches and individual supporters through ongoing communications designed to inform, stimulate thought and equip people. These included:

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

In response to floods in South Asia we launched an appeal and raised around £35,000 which was distributed through trusted partners organisations on the ground.

We continued to progress the three strategic intents set by the Board of Trustees in 2021: growing diversity, growing responsiveness and growing community. We were given permission by the UK Home Office to be a sponsor for Tier 2 Religious Worker visas alongside existing Tier 5 sponsorship. This has enabled us to recruit several workers from overseas to come to the UK and engage in work that meets our charitable aims and objects, as well as diversifying our team. We have deployed experienced workers short-term to support specialist refugee work in Germany as we seek to become more responsive to needs and opportunities. Also, we commissioned a large piece of research in order to explore attitudes of UK Christians to cross-cultural mission as we seek to work with a broader range of churches.

Financial review & how expenditure supported objectives

The financial results for the year ended 31st December 2022 are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 14. The overall deficit for the year was £153,333 (2021 deficit - £76,051). The deficit for the year included £290,894 from legacies (2021 - £95,402 ). This legacy income is transferred to designated funds, where 10% is allocated for use in grant support of the work of associated organisations’ projects to further the achievement of our objectives. The remaining 90% is allocated to a Development fund which is being used to meet the strategic investment needs of Interserve activity.

The unrestricted funds reported a net deficit of £119,815, consisting of net expenditure of £91,245, offset by a net deduction of £28,570 arising from unrealised loss on investments .

Of the total income of £2,424,770 (2021 - £2,312,463); donations & gifts given by individuals and organisations in support of our objects totalled £2,033,599 (2021 - £2,096,539). Of this sum £1,447,931 was donations and gifts in direct support of our “Partners” (our frontline workers overseas and in the UK), who are targeted with raising sufficient support under our personalised support system, to meet the costs of their ministry activity both overseas in countries across the Asian and Arab world and in the UK.

From the total income raised, £1,415,354 (2021- £1,423,345) has been spent directly in support of the charity’s Partners and their project work. Included in this cost is £168,898 (2021 - £185,854) which is used to cover the costs within the National Office budget in undertaking the essential Partner support activities, including member care and financial administration. The remainder of the income is applied to the direct costs of the individual Partners and associated projects, being 1,246,456 spent in this year (2021 - £1,267,814). The balance is carried forward to meet the direct and support costs of the Partners and projects in the coming year.

Of our total activity costs of £2,425,441 spent in the year (2021 - £2,442,851), £1,096,543 was spent on our Overseas activities (2021 - £1,152,525), £1,028,183 on UK based activities (2021 - £904,389), £248,993 on our National outreach (2021 - £352,599) and £51,721 on Resources and Conferences

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

(2021 - £33,338). After income generated from the sale of resources and conference income, the Resources and conferences activity had a net cost of £34,745. Further detail can be found in Notes 6 & 7 to the financial statements.

There has been a slight increase in the support and governance costs to £756,748 in the year (2021 - £754,670). Further analysis of these costs is given in Note 8 to the financial statements

Reserves & Investment policy

Interserve keeps reserves and can spend them in order to meet a range of issues including:

Interserve’s Reserves Policy involves:

At 31 December 2022, Interserve’s total charity funds amounted to 4,561,344 (2021-£4,714,677) but of these funds, £2,911,550 ( 2021- £3,193,299) were in endowment or other restricted funds set aside for specified purposes, designated towards the support of specific partners, in fixed assets not practically realisable in the near term or had otherwise been committed as per (a).

Of the balance of £1,649,794 (2021- £1,521,378) Interserve considers it reasonable to hold reserves of c£585,000 to cater for potential adverse experience .This is approximately 35 weeks of its General Fund expenditure or approximately 11 weeks of its overall expenditure for the year ending 31 December 2022.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E9CA513A-EAE1-4301-9B73-B46D5DDF003D

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

Interserve’s Reserves Policy is reviewed annually by the Finance and Risk Management Group (FRMG, a sub-committee of the Board), bearing in mind current known risks which are regularly assessed by this Group. It was most recently reviewed by this Group in May 2023 and agreed by the Board in June 2023.

Investment Policy : In accordance with our ‘Investment Policy’, investments held have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to the directors. The investments are held in a mix of asset classes in order to provide capital growth over the long term together with lower risk investments providing income security and the ability to react to cash demands as highlighted by the reserves policy, in accord with the Investment policy. In line with its values, Interserve will not invest in market sectors such as tobacco, arms, alcohol, gambling or pornography. The application of the Investment policy is overseen by the FRMG on behalf of the Board.

Plans for the Future

We will continue to implement our three strategic intents in 2023. Specific areas of focus at this point are:

We have seen a significant shift in recent years from workers placed overseas to workers placed in the UK. We will adjust our support structures in light of this change. At the same time we will continue to highlight opportunities for overseas service.

A refreshed and updated version of our training course “Friendship First” will be launched in the spring.

We also anticipate growth in ministry activities at and through our property in Birmingham, St John’s House, as key positions are filled.

Principle Risks and Uncertainties

All significant activities undertaken are subject to a risk review as part of an ongoing management process using a robust Risk Register. The trustees and management team review these risks on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified. Major risks are identified by the management team in collaboration with a Finance and Risk Management Group (FRMG) which maintains the Risk Register; scrutinised and approved by the Board.

We believe that our greatest strategic risk going forward is the failure to recruit and retain longterm workers to carry out the activities of the charity. Underlying factors that increase the likelihood of this risk include less willingness of governments to grant visas to overseas workers, a trend towards decreasing lengths of service and a challenging fundraising environment. Steps to mitigate this risk include development and maintenance of a relevant communications strategy and active promotion of opportunities for service, commitment to providing good care to existing workers in order to maximise retention and more flexible processes for matching workers with opportunities.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E9CA513A-EAE1-4301-9B73-B46D5DDF003D

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

As a charity, Interserve is dependent on the donations of individuals, churches, and charitable trusts. There is a risk of decline in income which will impact both the short-term operations and the longterm viability of the organisation. To mitigate this risk our fundraising team seeks to maintain a diverse range of funding streams that include regular and one-off donations, legacy income and income-generating activities. Management accounts are scrutinized monthly by the management team and quarterly by the Finance and Risk Management Group and a cash reserves policy is followed. Other operational risks in areas such as safeguarding, and data protection are minimized through maintaining up to date policies and processes and comprehensive training of staff and volunteers.

Political instability or insecurity in countries where personnel are located is an ongoing reality. Interserve International has robust systems and processes in place to ensure rapid and appropriate responses when needed. We also actively monitor laws and regulations related to financial sanctions in order to ensure compliance whilst seeking to work in some of the neediest parts of the world.

3. Governance and management structures

Governance : The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum & Articles of Association. The directors form its Board, and they are responsible for appointing the National Director (the senior role of the management team), approving the Annual Report and financial statements, appointing the auditors, and ensuring that the charitable company is managed by the National Director in accordance with the policies established by the Board from time to time.

The directors are recruited through recommendations from Board members and others. An audit of skills, training and experience is kept and is used to prioritise the selection of people that are needed on the Board. The National Director (or Company Secretary) provides an orientation programme with new directors after appointment.

The Finance and Risk Management Group (FRMG) is a sub-committee of the Board. This committee monitors the work of the Finance Manager and is tasked by the Board with overseeing the preparation of the Annual Report & Financial Statements; the budgeting process; the audit process; and the riskmanagement process.

The National Director, through a National Leadership Team, is responsible for taking all actions necessary to achieve the aims of the charity.

International: Our involvement with the International Fellowship continues through the role of the Chair of the Board and the National Director, who are both voting members of the International Leaders' Consultation . The Leaders’ Consultation (LC) elects the governing body, called the International Council (IC), and holds it accountable for the execution of the policies of the broader Interserve Fellowship, internationally.

Interserve in Great Britain and Ireland (Interserve GBI) has signed a “Covenant of Fellowship” with the other entities within the International Fellowship. The covenant commits Interserve GBI to uphold the statement of faith, purpose statement, vision and values of the International Fellowship, to work within the accountability structures by which the fellowship functions, to observe agreed financial principles and procedures and maintain consistent communications.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

At the same time, Interserve GBI retains its legal autonomy within the International Fellowship and duly operates within the charity laws and regulations within its registered territories.

Management pay policy : Key management personnel pay and remuneration is set within the context of an overall staff pay and remuneration pay-scale policy. There were no employees who received employee benefits of more than £60,000 during the reporting period.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

Directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements the board of directors are required to:-

a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

b) observe methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

c) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

d) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

As far as the members of the Board are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware.

All of the members of the Board have taken all steps that they ought to as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditor is aware of that information.

Auditor

A resolution to re-appoint Messrs Griffin Stone Moscrop & Co, Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors as auditor will be proposed at the annual general meeting.

The above Directors Report and Strategic Report have been approved by the Board of Directors on 2[nd] June 2023 and signed on its behalf by:-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP TRUST (continued)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The International Service Fellowship Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement , and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

10

DocuSign Envelope ID: E9CA513A-EAE1-4301-9B73-B46D5DDF003D

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP TRUST (continued)

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 9 and 10, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

11

DocuSign Envelope ID: E9CA513A-EAE1-4301-9B73-B46D5DDF003D

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP TRUST (continued)

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP TRUST (continued)

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

1. Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Funds structure

The charity has a single permanent endowment. This endowment fund arises from an appeal by the charity called “Interserve Plus Fund”. The purpose of the appeal was to create a permanent fund, the income of which is included in unrestricted funds and is used for meeting International support costs.

Restricted funds are funds which are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 23 to the financial statements.

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the directors, at their discretion, have created a fund for specific purposes and a General fund. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in note 24 to the financial statements.

(c) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity have been notified of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022 (continued)

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Government grant income received from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough Income) has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which the underlying furloughed staff costs relate to.

(d) Expenditure recognition and irrecoverable VAT

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

All expenses including support cost and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable activity headings. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities and in particular those activities of the National office in support of our mission workers overseas and in the UK. Governance costs comprise all costs involved in the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit, board governance meeting costs, together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

The charity has a partial exemption for VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(e) Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets with an initial cost in excess of £1,000 are capitalised at cost in the financial statements. The net book value shown at the balance sheet dates are stated at cost less depreciation and provision for impairment in value. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at the following rates per annum so as to write off each asset over its estimated useful working life:

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

(f) Investments

Investments are stated at their market value at the balance sheet date, any increase or decrease in values being included in the statement of financial activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022 (continued)

(g) Financial instruments

The Charity principally has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments (including debtors and creditors) are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(h) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and deposits which mature within 3 months of the date of opening. The statement of cash flows only reflects movements within bank financial statements held where the money can be accessed within three months of the date of opening the deposit.

Current asset investments represent bank deposits which mature 3 months or less after the date of opening.

(i) Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. Net realisable value is based on selling price less all further costs of distribution, marketing and selling.

(j) Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the statement of financial activities on the straight line basis over the terms of the leases.

(k) Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme on behalf of its employees. The pension cost to the charity is charged to the statement of financial activities on the basis of a constant percentage of employee earnings.

The charity also operates a defined benefit pension scheme for past members of staff. This is an unfunded scheme which exists to ensure that a pension is provided to these past employees in accordance with the charity's past policy on pensions. As all of the scheme's members are now retired and receive pensions directly from the charity, no further contributions are made to the scheme. In respect of this scheme the charity's appointed actuaries have calculated the net present value of the future liabilities payable to the members of the scheme at the balance sheet date. Accordingly a liability is reflected in each of the balance sheets as at 31st December 2022 and 2021.

8. Analysis of governance and support costs

The charity initially identifies the costs of its support functions. It then identifies those costs which relate to the governance function, including an allocation of support costs based on apportionment of time spent on governance activity. Having identified its governance costs, the remaining support costs together with the governance costs are apportioned between the key charitable activities undertaken (see note 6) in the year based on an apportionment of staff time, in recognition that the office overhead and administrative costs are broadly related to the allocation of staff resourcing within the National Support Office.

All investments are held for an investment return and are carried at market value as described below.

The Investment property at year-end comprises one freehold property. It is a residential property in West London which was acquired in 2004 at a value of £350,000 under a Deed of Variation to a Will.

The property has a life tenant from whom no rent is received but who is required to ensure that it is adequately insured and maintained at her own expense. This property was valued, by Buntings Chartered Surveyors, as at 31[st] December 2019. The unencumbered market value of the property was £975,000, but after taking into consideration the encumbrance of the life tenancy was valued at £445,000. This valuation has been inflated by the Land Registry House Price Index to give a valuation as at December 2022 of £528,469. The life tenant wishes to downsize to a smaller property. It is the intention of the charity to sell the property and purchase another. An offer has been received for the sale of the property in March 2023. This has been reclassified as a current investment as it is due to be sold within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

The listed investments are directly invested on a recognised UK stock exchange and are valued at open market values on 31st December 2022 using the Stock Exchange Daily Official Listing or are invested in open ended collective investment funds valued by the provider in a similar manner. JM Finn have been appointed as Investment Managers and are in the process of changing the portfolio make up. JM Finn have provided valuation as at 31[st] December 2022.

21. Defined benefit scheme provision

The Plan is a defined benefit plan operated on behalf of three pensioners who were previously employed by Interserve. In accordance with FRS 102, the net present value of the liabilities payable by Interserve in respect of this pension plan have been calculated as at 31st December for each of the years since 2005.

The benefits are not funded in advance and so no assets are held in a separate trust to meet the payments. The pensions for each of the members are payable for life, but no dependent benefits are payable on death. The pension payable to the three pensioners is increased at the rate of 5% per annum, from which a fixed offset is deducted.

The assumptions used for calculating the liabilities were as follows:

31st December 31st December
2022 2021
Discount rate 4.9% p.a. 1.6% p.a.
Mortality assumption 90% S3PFA_L 90% S3PFA_L
CMI 2021 LTR 1.5% CMI 2020 LTR 1.5%

There is no service cost for any of the years since there are no members accruing benefits. The movement within the statement of financial activities for the year comprised:

Change in Defined Benefit Obligation
Beginning Balance
Interest cost
Benefits paid
Experience gains/(losses) on liabilities
Changes to demographic assumptions
