BCM INTERNATIONAL UK (ANCHOR) TRUST TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 .K. Ov As a Trust Board we have continued to meet regularly over Zoom, which has helped redu￿ travelling costs and the need for trustees having to spend weekends away to attend meeting5. Our meeting in November was a face-to- face meeting in Belfast, as we celebrated the retirement of Richard & Sally - Iwo of our long-serving trustees. The Trustees continue to be responsible for keeping BCM Intemalional UK up to date with regulations and legal requirements. They continue to be actively involved in monitoring and reviewing of all our policies. They provide pastoral care for the BCM International UK missionaries and volunteers as they serve the children and young people. The Trustees are also keeping under review the financial support needs of our missionaries, as our missionaries are a vital part of our ministry. Financial review The results for the year are as set out on pages 9 10 18. The Trust returned net incoming resources of £26,594 of which there were unrestricted net incoming resources of £26,234 and reslrioted net incoming resources of £360. At 31 December 2023 the balance of unrestricted reseNes was £894.972 (2022 - £868,738). The results of the Trusl have been impacted greatly in recent years by net gains and losses on in￿stment valuations. In the year ended 31 December 2023, included in the statement of financial activities is a gain on investments of £57.242 (2022 loss on investments of £151,917). Excluding these gains and losses the Trust would have returned net outgoing resources of £30.648 (2022 - £29,578). The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are detailed below and there has been no change in these during the year. Unrestricted funds are needed= a) to provide funds which can be designated to specific activities to enable these activities to be undertaken at short noti￿ and b) lo cover administralion, fund-raising and support costs wilhout which the charity could not function. The Trustees consider it prudent thal unrestricted reserves should be sufficient: a) to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the charity's use., bj to cover dired and indirect expenses. Unrestricted funds currently meet this requirement. The level of reserves is monitored by the Trustees on a regular basis. Restricted funds are restricted donations held on trusl for specific purposes. At 31 De￿mber 2023 the balance of restricted funds totalled £10,132 (2022 - £9.772). The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises.. An annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces. The establishment of policies, systems, and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review., and The implemenlation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. This work has identified thal financial sustainabilty is a major financial risk for the charity. As a result, an Investment Policy has bèen produced to ensure that sufficiènt liquid funds are held in the Trusts bank a¢counts to settle debts as they fall due. The liquid funds are regularly reviewed by the Finan￿ Offi￿r and Trustees and investments are periodically sold to boost the liquid funds held.

BCM INTERNATIONAL UK (ANCHOR) TRUST TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Plans for future periods During 2023 we have worked on developing the vision we shared in last year's report lo call a new leam of missionaries to come and help us reach the UK mission field. We are initially looking lo build a new team to reach Ihe mission field in England & Wales. As a result, we produced Job & Person Specrfications for our two new roles of Regional Development Missionaries and a UK Director. reviewed our recrurtmenl & selection policies and produced a new Application Form and Intelview scoring grid, to prepare us for advertising the roles. We finally advertised the roles in the Christian press and through inlernel advertising in December and earfy January. We were pleased lo interview Eric Richardson an American missionary, who is currently working in France with the Fellowship of International Mission. We are excited that Eric has acGepled our offer to join us as our first Regional Dèvelopment Missionary serving in Ihe London area of West Finchley. We hope that Eric and Kristanna and thè family will be able lo join us by the autumn, once the necessary visa arrangements have been finalised. There is a lot lo do, as he finds accommodation and schooling for his family. We are also very grateful for the partnership we have been able to start to develop with FIM, who will manage his financial support going forward. As we are still committed lo conlinuing lo develop the team, we are planning on advertising for the two roles again from August to September 2024 and intend to add to our previous adverts, Job Cards being advertised by OSCAR a mission's website, who advertise at various Christian events in Ihe UK. We hopè that by advertising earlier in the year, that this will encourage more inleresl. We also are planning on enabling our application form to be completed online, which we hope will make the process easier for any applicants.

We continue to look at the strengthening of the Trust Board to help us develop a fresh vision for our ministry in Ihe UK and to oversee the governance and ministry of the mission. In 2023, Richard Thompson & Sally McKee both retired at the end of November after seNing on the Trust for many years. We were also sorry lo ac￿p1 the resignation of Helen Paget due to family and work commilmenls. To help us work on our future ministry development, we met as a Full Trust Board on 4 ocoasions during 2023, to achieve greater cohesion as a Trust.
