THE AFRICAN, INDIAN & SLAV LANDS CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021
The fellowship is established to advance the Christian Faith in Africa, The Indian subcontinent and Slav Lands.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
During the year we have maintained a daily correspondence by fax, email and telephone with our friends in Russia in furtherance of the aims and objects of the trust.
We have maintained the level of our financial commitment to the Russian missionaries we are supporting in Tumen, Tobolsk, Onokino, Nizhnivartovsk and Yaroslavl.
The low living standards in Russia mean that our humanitarian support is still needed by the poorer members of the churches we are supporting.
Funds are transmitted to our Russian missionaries via the Western Union banking system. The support we provide includes help for hospital treatment, medical supplies and food supplements to improve the diet of the sick and malnourished.
During the year the trustees proposed that the work be expanded to support Christian pastors and other Christian workers not just in the Slav Lands but also Kenya, India and Zimbabwe. This required a change to the Objectives in the Government which was subsequently approved by the Charity Commission.
RESERVE POLICY
The charity has no fixed costs and very low administrative costs so does not seek to maintain reserves to ensure its own future needs. The trustees wish to continue to support Russian Christians and believe the current level of reserves is sufficient for this purpose.
DECLARATION
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
