## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From Period start date 01 April 2021 To Period end date 31 March 2022 Charity name: New Growth Ministries Trust** ## **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 ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|Grants are made monthly in the usual

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| 3 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. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |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.| |Investment performance

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
