Objectives of the Charity: Proclaiming, teaching and educating Christian and nonChristian persons by means of educational resources in order to advance, strengthen and support marriages and family life in the UK and elsewhere through the world, based on the principles, standards, ideals and doctrines of the Christian faith. ## Summary of Main Activities To teach married couples (and couples preparing for marriage), how to live their marriages and parent their children in accordance with the principles, standards, ideals and doctrines of the Christian faith. Our main course, Married for Life, has also been made available on video recently for group use, but has also been available for individual couples during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also hold teaching weekends and conferences. ## Achievements and Performance During 2021 we taught our 4 courses: _One for Life, Married for Life, Deepening Love_ and _Parents for Life_ to couples across the UK, in English and Portuguese. We generally teach these courses online as well as face to face, but they have been online only plus online conferences while there have been restrictions regarding meeting up. We have approximately 40 leadership couples. ## Expansion in Role Mr and Mrs Thomas have been the UK Directors for 2=1 since 2008 and in October 2015 became the International Directors, Europe. This means that they travel to Europe several times a year (outside of the pandemic) to visit the couples leading 2=1 in other European countries. We currently teach in 13 European countries and now also have opportunities to expand into other European countries including Croatia, Sweden and Slovenia. Since March 2020 the vast majority of our work has been online. We are optimistic that our courses will also be able to be taught face to face more, now that Covid-19 restrictions are lifting. We occasionally travel to other continents to teach leaders, particularly for our new Deepening Love course. In the last four years we have taught in New Zealand, Malaysia, Australia and this year in South Africa. 2 Blessing the families of the earth _(Genesis 12:3)_ _2=1 is affiliated to Marriage Resource and a member of the Evangelical Alliance._ Registered Charity No. 1051998 Unaudit ial rTh Y ￿End 31 March 2021 ftsr Contents of the F" For e Year Ended cid Srat Mar ments Page Income Staiement Balance Sheet Chartered Accouz]lants' Report D¢tsiled In￿me and Expenditure Accounts Detsiled Balance Sheet Incotn¢ Statelnertt arch 2021 For The 2021 2020 TURYOVER 311,842 44,427 D¢preciaiion and other a]N>unts ￿itten off assets (978) 11.863) Othcr char8es (22.453) (44,870) Taxation SURPLUSIIDEFICIT) 7.411 12.3061 Poge I tered number.. 0313744 Balance Sheet 31 March 2021 2021 2020 FIXED A&SETS 855 1,833 CURRENT ASSETS 18,678 10,289 CRED￿oRs Artwunt$ falling due within one year (421 (421 NET CURRENT ASSETS 18,636 10.247 TOTAL ASSETS LE&S CURRENT LIABILITIES 19,491 12.080 RESERVES 19,491 12.080 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STATUTORY INFORMATION -l(Uk)' is a private ¢ompally, limited by guarantec, registered in Ettgland and Wales.
