The Right Reverend Nicholas Reade was Patron of the Association.
The association was founded as a charity in 1982, and in 1990 a trust was formed. A new Trust Deed in 2001 provided that members of the Management Committee would be the Trustees in place of the Founding Trustees. The names of the Management Committee are notified to the Charity Commission. The Association is registered with the Charity Commission, No. 1022122
OBJECTS, ORGANISATION AND ACTIVITIES
In May, 1982 the then Bishop of Lewes, initiated a movement in which church members and other individuals would give up some personal expenditure previously made as part of each individual's normal day-to-day life style. The monies thus saved would be used to support Third World projects of limited and specified nature, designed _ to eliminate poverty and ill health.
The Bishop recruited a small team to organise and administer the movement, and it was agreed that it would be appropriate to apply for registration with the Charity Commission in order that there should be a proper legal status for the movement.
As time went on, the Bishop's team was increased in order to provide an adequate central service in support of the representatives who organised local groups of members at the level of the parish or village. These local representatives collect money regularly from their members and forward it to the Team correspondent responsible for the area. The contributions are then passed to the Treasurer for listing, checking and banking. Accounts are kept by the Treasurer, and periodic reports are made to the Projects officer, who selects and monitors the overseas projects, and directs the remittance of funds to them.
The services provided by the Management Team now include:
-
1) Visits by the Projects Officer to local groups who are considering choosing or changing their supported projects, and require up-to-date information and guidance, backed up with some video material.
-
2) Visits by the Projects Officer and Chairman to address meetings or church services in the participating parishes.
-
3) Up-to-date news from individual projects for the groups supporting them.
-
4) A range of printed leaflets to support local recruitment efforts.
-
5) An annual newsletter, containing summaries of the various projects, and news from the groups.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
