NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been independently examined.

New Frontiers International Trust Limited operates as ‘Newfrontiers’ and is referred to as such throughout this report and financial statements. The trust was incorporated on 27 December 1996 as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity on 8 January 1997.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The main objectives of Newfrontiers are to advance the Christian faith and to provide assistance for persons in conditions of need, hardship or distress. In order to achieve its objectives, Newfrontiers works as a group of apostolic leaders partnering together on global mission, joined by common values and beliefs, shared mission and genuine relationships. Much of the activity to outwork the values and beliefs is carried out within the apostolic networks, known as ‘spheres’ and which are separate legal entities.

This charity has a strategic role of facilitating the movement by:

• globally, strengthening relationships and connecting apostolic leaders from different nations and different socio-economic backgrounds giving aid and support where possible;

• organising conferences to encourage and envision apostolic leaders and teams to achieve the above role;

• dealing with administrative aspects affecting the movement globally; and

• supporting projects helping the poor or those in hardship.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES

This year the UK charity has focussed on:

Running an online gathering of apostolic leaders and church leaders globally,

Supporting the Newfrontiers Together Team steering group,

Administering some matters which affect the Newfrontiers movement as a whole, and

Administering funds held over from prior years and restricted funds received during the year.

The charity achieves its objectives principally through grants to apostolic networks and churches.

GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2020

Due to the covid-19 epidemic the physical Global Conference 2020 conference was cancelled and the event was held online instead. This meant there was not the opportunity for apostolic leaders to meet personally, however, the online streaming meant that many people from around the world who would not normally participate were able to join in.

The event gave all who participated a flavour of the breadth and diversity of the movement across many nations. The conference speakers gave a current perspective with an understanding of the times, a perspective on current challenges and a vision for the way forward.

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2020 (CONTINUED)

A key point of the conference was when David Devenish stepped down from leading the movement and simultaneously released a new book describing the development of the movement up to this point. This was followed by the recognition of Stephen Tibbert who will be leading the New Frontiers Together Team into the future.

Due to the difficulties imposed by the covid-19 epidemic on gathering and on travel, no other conferences were held this year.

INCOME

The charity is financially dependent upon the donations made by supporting apostolic networks. The generosity of the networks is gratefully acknowledged.

Total income for the year was £119k (2019: £184k). The decrease was due to the absence of conference delegate fees this year.

Contributions from apostolic networks around the world, the Newfrontiers Together Fund, came to £106k (2019: £107k).

Conference and Training income was much reduced at £9k this year, compared to £69k last year which included holding the Cape Town conference as well as a normal Global conference.

EXPENDITURE

Total expenditure was £131k in 2020, sharply reduced from £228k in 2019 due to lesser conference costs.

The charity continued its role of supporting the global leadership and expenditure on ‘Apostolic ministry based in the UK’ held steady at £102k (2019: £103k).

Conference and Training expenditure was £14k in 2020, greatly reduced from the £110k spent in 2019. There were modest costs for the online Global conference this year, as compared to last year which included accommodation and travel costs for two major conferences.

FUNDS AND BALANCE SHEET

The movement in total funds for the year is a net deficit of £12k (2019: £44k deficit) and of this, £4k is associated with the net subsidies of the conferences held during the year, much less than the subsidy that had been budgeted.

Reflecting the deficit, net current assets have reduced to £196k at the balance sheet date (2019: £208k). The main asset of the charity is cash at bank, which stood at £209k at the balance sheet date (2019: £215k). At the year end, free funds were £193k (2019: £205k).

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

FUTURE OBJECTIVES

Newfrontiers is a truly international movement which is now a broad and expanding network. The key objectives for this charity in supporting this movement in the coming year are as follows:

Serving the apostolic leaders internationally by:

Supporting the oversight and strategic direction of the Newfrontiers movement, Giving funding to enable international apostolic leaders’ gatherings, Facilitating gatherings of apostolic leaders and other leaders, Administering some matters which affect the Newfrontiers movement as a whole, and Running the website www.newfrontierstogether.org.

The charity will operate on this basis in 2021, retaining flexibility for the future and dealing with administrative matters affecting the movement globally.

STRUCTURE

The Newfrontiers Together Team, a group of apostolic leaders drawn from across the global movement meets (physically or by electronic means) at least three times a year to propose strategy and agree implementation. Two executive directors of the charity are members of this group and report the results of these meetings to the board for further consideration and decision-making.

GOVERNANCE

The directors set out on page 2, except as otherwise stated, held office during the whole of the year ended 31 December 2020. The directors are regarded as the trustees of the charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011.

The board of directors are responsible for ultimate strategic decisions, having regard to advice from the executive directors and the Newfrontiers Together Team. Directors are appointed by the members at the Annual General Meeting. The directors may also appoint a director to serve until the next Annual General Meeting, at which time he or she would cease to hold office but would be eligible for election.

The directors are aware of the need for new and existing directors to refresh their knowledge and skills and to achieve this will attend organised training from time to time, as well as learning informally from one another and their own external networks.

Short biographical details of the non-executive directors are as follows:

Martin Eaton – formerly Deputy Legal Adviser at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. Martin stepped down as a director of the charity at the Annual General Meeting. The board remain hugely grateful for his most valuable contribution.

Charles Glass – is director of a human resources consultancy in London.

Robert Gwynn – is owner and director, jointly with his wife, of Whyteleafe Solutions Ltd., and a former senior official in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. He is a member of Kings Church, Oxted.

Geoff Knott – is part of a Christian community focusing on social reform initiatives and the development of social enterprises. He is also a trustee of three charities and director of several companies.

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED)

The roles of the executive directors are as follows:

David Devenish – is developing apostolic teams and serving churches across the world. He connects with other apostolic teams globally both from within Newfrontiers and other international church networks. David is an elder of Woodside Church, Bedford. Having stepped down as a director of this charity, he continues to play a key role in the movement as a member of the Newfrontiers Together Team.

Stephen Tibbert – leads the apostolic gathering in the UK and serves some of the larger Newfrontiers churches, particularly those operating across multiple sites. Steve is the Senior Pastor at King’s Church London in South East London. From October 2020, Steve took on the role of chairing the Newfrontiers Together Team, which has a steering role for the global movement.

David Holden – leads New Ground, a family of churches spread across the nations of Europe and Brazil and has links into Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. He has played a key role in the Newfrontiers movement from its beginning and is a member of the Newfrontiers Together Team.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with current Accounting Standards and applicable law.

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The directors have overall responsibility for Newfrontiers’ system of internal control. Such a system can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against errors or frauds.

Newfrontiers operates a planning and budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the board of directors. Significant changes are subject to specific approval. A financial reporting system compares results with the budget on a quarterly basis and a full year forecast is prepared in the autumn.

The directors monitor potential risks faced by Newfrontiers, identifying the major strategic and operational risks faced and how they are being managed, in line with the charity’s current operations.

The most significant risk being faced at present is potential impacts of the Covid-19 epidemic which is likely to affect the incomes of donor networks adversely and therefore restrict their ability to contribute to this charity. The directors are monitoring this situation closely. The Global 2020 conference has had to be cancelled in its present form which will severely impact the delivery of this charities key objectives. However, other ways of delivering these objectives are being pursued. The cancellation of the Global 2020 conference will save funds as the subsidy will not be required though modest abortive costs will impinge. The directors consider that the charity has sufficient reserves to ensure the short term future of the charity.

Other significant risks being faced currently relate to the annual conference gathering and to reputational risk. The management of these risks are, for the annual conference gathering, by carrying out appropriate risk assessments and for reputational risk, by developing policies on how to deal with matters as they arise.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Newfrontiers seeks to strengthen and facilitate the work of apostolic leaders and their teams as they work amongst many different churches.

The apostolic teams and the churches they serve have very similar objectives to this charity, most particularly, the advancement of the Christian faith and supporting the poor or those in hardship. By facilitating the meeting of apostolic leaders, this charity has a unique role in fostering the relationships which form the fabric of the Newfrontiers movement, there being no legal or structural connection between the charities in the movement. By fulfilling this role, this charity indirectly impacts many thousands of people.

By encouraging these relationships, the charity seeks to facilitate accountability, interdependency and cohesion among the apostolic leaders and avoid the dangers of working in isolation. In this way the charity provides a framework for apostolic leaders to share vision, encourage each other in the faith and provide a place of reference as they work out their calling and carry out their responsibilities, for the benefit of their church members and the wider community.

The directors have had regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning activities, as we seek to perpetuate and strengthen these key relationships.

RESERVES POLICY

The directors review the charity’s reserves policy regularly in the light of Charity Commission guidance. Free funds at 31 December 2020 were £193k (2019: £205k). The charity retains a sum of £100k as a strategic reserve. This is required to underwrite conference commitments, retain basic infrastructure and meet any unanticipated requirements.

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

RESERVES POLICY (CONTINUED)

It is intended to continue utilising some of the reserves in the next few years to facilitate the drawing together of the global movement on a wider basis than hitherto and thus a modest increase in expenditure is anticipated. The balance of the reserves is carried forward to provide adequate working capital and meet anticipated shortfalls and to provide flexibility to fund future activity in response to requirements in the movement generally.

SOURCES OF INCOME

Under the title of the Newfrontiers Together fund, the principal source of income remains the donations by apostolic bases around the world. These funds are used for agreed objectives to facilitate the Newfrontiers movement as a whole.

Designated funds arose from offerings taken at conferences in prior years and have been largely disbursed. The balance of £3k (2019: £3k) has been earmarked by the directors for specific purposes.

Restricted funds arise where gifts are received for specific purposes as outlined either by a specific appeal or by the giver. Expenditure is distributed in line with the appeal or requirements of the giver. This year there has been a donation of £2k to meet specific needs within the movement and the same sum was expended to support this.

INVESTMENT AND TREASURY POLICY

In keeping with the reserves policy, funds are maintained to meet foreseeable recurring expenditure. Policy is to hold the strategic reserve in a 30-day account with the balance instantly available. The charity’s funds are principally held in corporate UK bank accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

A resolution to re-appoint Moore Kingston Smith LLP as Independent Examiners will be proposed at the next Annual General Meeting.

BASIS OF REPORT

In preparing this directors' report advantage has been taken of the small companies' exemption.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015), the Companies Act 2006 and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (“FRS 102”).

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. It exists solely to pursue its charitable objectives and does not seek to make a financial return.

GOING CONCERN

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable entity to continue as a going concern, including the current Covid-19 epidemic. The trustees have considered the charitable entity’s forecasts and have taken account of pressures on donation income. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that, whilst there is likely to be a detrimental impact to income as a result of the crisis, there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable entity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties. The charitable entity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

CURRENCY

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. There are no estimates or judgments that have a material effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

INCOME

Donations are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the donation, receipt is probable and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Conferences and training income is accounted for on a receivable basis. Where income is received in respect of conferences and courses taking place in the following year it is taken to the balance sheet as deferred income and included in creditors.

EXPENDITURE

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to that category.

Resources expended include the following categories of expenditure:

• i) Grants – these are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.

13

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)

• ii) Support costs – include costs of financial management, central information technology costs and governance costs.

• iii) Governance costs – are those associated with governance arrangements rather than day-to-day management of the charity’s activities.

Support costs include costs not directly attributable to a single activity. These have been allocated across activities in proportion to the level of costs incurred on each activity.

GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The trust is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of the Small Companies Regime of the Companies Act 2006 as the group it heads qualifies as a small group. These financial statements therefore present information about the trust as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

FUNDS

The charity maintains three types of funds. Restricted funds which are subject to specific conditions specified by the giver, designated funds where the directors have decided funds are to be used for a specific purpose, and free funds. Income and expenditure related to these funds are shown separately on the Statement of Financial Activities and analysed in notes 7 and 8.
