Charity registration number: 1022962

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The object of the Trust is the advancement of the Christian religion in Britain and elsewhere.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The main work of the Trust during the past year, as in previous years, is to make grants in support of the work of a Zimbabwean charitable Trust, New Growth Ministries Zimbabwe (NGMZ) Zimbabwe PVO 03/96, using funds donated by individuals, churches and occasionally by other charitable and non-charitable bodies. The grants form the primary source of funding for NGMZ’s boy’s orphanage and provide housing, food, clothing, education, medical needs and job training as well as supporting the necessary staff and infrastructure. The trust does not have large investments and all of the income is used to provide grants as and when requested. Two of the current trustees have made extended visits to the orphanage in Zimbabwe, one having lived in the area for many years. The most recent visit was in February/March 2022, when a trustee produced a report on health and maintenance with a number of useful recommendations that are being followed up. Mainly due to the uncertain political situation in Zimbabwe the Trust does not have a website advertising its work. Literature in the form of prayer cards, newsletters and reports are largely distributed electronically.

Statement confirming Para 1.18 The Trustees confirm that they comply with whether the trustees have the duty under the Charities Act 2006 as had regard to the guidance amended by the Charities Act 2011, by issued by the Charity having due regard to public benefit Commission on public guidance published by the Commission. benefit

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During the financial year ended 31 March 2022 the Trust made grants in support of New Growth Ministries Zimbabwe (NGMZ) of over £39,000. Some of the income is given for designated areas of work, non- designated gifts are used for general running expenses and to supplement designated gifts should the need arise. NGMZ runs an orphanage for boys on a small farm near Chinhoyi (Zimbabwe): most of the income granted by NGMT is used to support the orphanage, the children, and the 17 orphanage and farm staff and their families. The farm provides some of the food needed for the orphanage. The work of NGMZ is highly regarded in Zimbabwe and relationships with the local Social Welfare offices, schools and medical facilities are well established. The Trustees of New Growth Ministries (Zimbabwe) have produced monthly reports which are seen by New Growth Ministries Trust. As an indication of the scale of the work carried out in Zimbabwe it is reported that during the reporting period: • Up to 22 boys have been accommodated in the orphanage ranging in age from a few weeks to 18 years. At 18 years, boys leave the orphanage to seek work, some being retained by New Growth Ministries (Zimbabwe) for training in building and general maintenance tasks. • Seven boys are attending secondary school and six attending primary school. All fees, uniforms and equipment are provided by NGMZ. Four boys attend an in- house pre-school. • Sponsorship is provided for orphanage boys studying at college, one of whom recently acquired 9 O Levels and another gained 3 A Levels and has taken up a place to study medicine at the University of Zimbabwe. • NGMZ has provided sponsorship and support for orphans who go on to further study. One has graduated with a law degree at the University

of Zimbabwe and is now working as a legal practitioner for a national law firm. One is now a senior doctor at a mission hospital and one an accountant working in South Africa with the Job’s Fund, part of the National Treasury in Pretoria. • There is considerable interest in the work of the orphanage from external organisations who have in previous years visited from time to time. This has not been possible in the reporting period due to the impact of COVID.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Grants are made by the Trust to meet beneficiaries’ needs, but in accordance with income received. From time-to-time additional needs are made known to supporters and funds are distributed in response to such needs. This has enabled the orphanage to continue operating and take on additional children in need at the request of local social services. The local community support work of NGMZ carried out in previous years has now been passed on to other local organisations due to the local situation and limited funds.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	The Trust does not actively fundraise as a matter of principle, but makes the situation of beneficiaries known to supporters by distributing newsletters and giving presentations. This reporting period, income received has balanced beneficiaries’ needs but only after significant efforts to minimise expenditure and to defer some needed equipment maintenance. A dedicated fundraising effort to provide funds for a major ear operation on one of the children was very successful and enabled the operation to take place.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The income for the Trust has increased as compared to the previous two years mainly thanks to a generous response to a Lent appeal at one of our supporting churches and additional contributions to fund an ear operation for one of the boys in October. The Trust is still in credit, with a balance of £14,730 at the end of the reporting period. Of that sum, £10,300 is reserved as a pension pot for Rob and Hilary Mackenzie.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Trust operates on the principle that monies donated should be used for the support of the agreed beneficiaries. Funds derived from donations towards supporting the MacKenzies pension will be moved to a deposit account in the next reporting period.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	No reserves are held
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	The current funding level does not allow the build-up of reserves.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	The Trust has no funds in deficit.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	The low number of regular donors and rising costs in Zimbabwe are a continued source of concern for continued support of NGMZ’s orphanage.
