Summary of the main In the UK we supported centres caring for homeless people through achievements of the charity providing meals, showers, friendship and job opportunities. In response during the year to Covid lockdown issues in schools, we funded music therapy sessions to alleviate stress, training for youth leaders and maintaining contact groups during isolation restrictions. We also supported drug awareness talks in schools. Also in the UK, we supported help for prisoners through visits and assistance to those preparing to be released.

Oversees, we supported a ship carrying Covid vaccines for towns and villages in West and Central Africa, plus medical relief for severe Covid infections in India. We supported those suffering floods in Bangladesh, an earthquake in the Democratic Republic of Congo and famines in Madagascar and West Africa due to crop failure. An orphanage in India and Street Children in Guatemala were supported, while refugees from Iran, Jordan, Ukraine and Iraq were helped to settle. Funding was provided to enable TV and radio messages to warn areas of impending storms, provide medical advice and general news in isolated areas. In conservation, we encouraged churches to provide nature areas for the benefit of people and wildlife.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *) 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:  to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been met ; or
1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
