Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of
Ark Resources
Registered Charity Number – 1057347
Independent Examiner’s Report
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5[th] April 2025, which are set out on the attached pages.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
Charities Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act.
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given 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 Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in. any material respect, the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2025
Makeway Ministries
(Working name of Ark Resources) UK Registered Charity No 1057347 Registered address: The Moorings, North Corner, Coverack, Helston TR12 6TQ England
Chairman’s Report 2024-2025
This year has been a busy one and a fruitful one. We have continued with many of the activities we were involved in last year but have expanded some of the teaching aspects in particular. With the world in turmoil, we are seeking to make a real difference in lives by teaching people how to be secure in turbulent times. We demonstrate and teach that the One person you can trust when times are rough and tough, is Jesus.
We have had three main conferences this year. The first was in May 24, when we took a sizeable group of people on a mission to Davos, Switzerland. Here we were able to pray for the world financial crisis and be supportive of the good plans that some people have for a new economic way forward for businesses, and therefore the world.
The second was in Malaga, Spain, where we were able to teach a better way to live to people from a variety of churches and backgrounds, helping them to understand God’s way of running their lives and personal economies. The third conference was a time of helping people get free from all kinds of hang-ups that have spoiled their lives or have caused them to have major battles to obtain even normality. After the sessions of help were over, the delegates also took time to celebrate the forty years wedding anniversary and forty years of serving the Lord that I, as chairman, and my wife, have enjoyed. Delegates finished the conference with a great celebration time, for which we were very grateful, and all participants seemed to enjoy the time, too. Joy is a vital ingredient for health, we believe. We have continued, and have even expanded, the Zoom teaching series called “A Better Way to Live”, adding to our numbers, at home and abroad, as well as expanding the number of sessions held each month. We teach godly principles to help people through difficult times into victory. We have also held some general worship Zooms, where people from several nations have access to the meetings.
The Chairman and several team members have had many one-on-one ministry sessions, both in person and through the internet. The team are also on several minister’s boards, advising according to our gifting. We minister in prayer to anyone who needs this, from the poor and needy or sick people through to those seeking direction for their lives or situations.
The Chairman has preached, taught and ministered at meetings held by several other international ministries, bringing some cross pollination of thoughts and biblical revelations along with ideas to help them in the running of the economic side of their ministries too. We have done the same for several Christian businesses.
The Charity has given financially to missionaries and the local food bank. We have also chosen a route concerning our giving, which enables many who would not be able to afford to attend our conferences, to do so free of charge. We believe this to be a worthy investment into lives, as the people concerned can go away and apply what they have learned thus changing them from those who have need into those who can help others who are in need. The Chairman finished writing a new book called “Who is Jesus?”. The text is now typed up and the edit is steadily progressing. The ministry invested in a new computer this year for the office in Coverack.
The ministry has spent time trying to find a new base, as the lease is nearly up on the present offices. We have not yet succeeded but have travelled to look at the possibility of moving up country, nearer to an airport. This is an ongoing search, as of the end of the 24-25 financial year.

CHAIRMANS REPORT CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2025
All in all we have been delighted with progress this year, even though we have not made so many trips abroad. People from the UK, and at least ten other nations, have been helped through ministry and teaching, finance and prayer. We trust that we shall expand this even more during the coming years. Now we need to take a small step back to consider any changes we may need to make due to the upcoming possibility of a move of premises and the need to encourage more volunteers to assist with the work.
Signed: A P Baker Chairman

4. PAYMENTS TO TRUSTEES AND RELATED PARTIES
No other payments were made to any other Trustee.
5. RISK ASSESSMENT
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on the annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. the trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
6. RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
