A message from our Chief Executive and Chair of Trustees

We’re delighted to share with you SAT-7’s Annual Report for 2025! We remain deeply grateful for all your prayers and generosity, which have enabled our ministry to continue and flourish throughout the year. We hope you will be encouraged to read here about the difference you are making to the lives of countless people across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Tragically, 2025 brought more devastation for many people in the region: wars in the Holy Land and Sudan, heightened tensions in Iran, and the continuing burdens of poverty and persecution. But it also provided opportunities to commemorate important moments and to reflect on their significance for us today.

2025 marked 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea in what is now Türkiye, at which the Nicene Creed was created as a unifying statement of the one biblical Gospel. SAT-7 uses this creed as our basis of faith, and the creed is the most widely accepted Christian statement of who Jesus Christ is.

Yet so many people in the MENA still do not know who He is, and this is why SAT-7 came into being. This year marks 30 years since SAT7’s first broadcast, and over the decades SAT-7 has devoted itself to making Christ known and helping our viewers to find new life in Him.

These two milestones remind us that while change is a constant in the region in which we work, the Good News of Jesus remains the same – over the years, decades, centuries and millennia. And while over the past 30 years we have continually updated our technology and content for maximum impact, we remain faithful to the original vision of SAT-7’s media ministry – to see a growing Church in the MENA. In this Annual Report, you can learn about the many ways in which SAT-7 has fulfilled its mission in 2025, through building up the Church in the MENA, as well as engaging with the Church in the UK and ROI.

In our special 30th anniversary year, please join us in thanking God for all that He has accomplished through SAT-7 in that time, and in praying that He will continue to shine the light of Christ in the MENA through our ministry.

In Him,

Rachel Fadipe Chief Executive

Richard Giles Chair of Trustees

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

  1. SAT-7 INTERNATIONAL

GROWING AND SUPPORTING THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

Our Hope is You , an open-air concert broadcast live from Beirut, June 2025

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

SUPPORTING VIEWERS IN TIMES OF CRISIS

As Iran was hit by a wave of air strikes, SAT-7 PARS supported distressed viewers in various ways. One special episode of Mirror allowed people to share their thoughts and prayers.

“We truly appreciate your connection with us and are grateful for it,” one viewer said on air. “I’m really worried for my fellow Iranians and for my children… even inside our own home, we don’t feel secure. Pray for our people.”

As the bombardment of Iran ended, news broke of a devastating attack on a church in Damascus, Syria. SAT-7 ARABIC called for Christians across the MENA to come together for an evening of prayer and worship. The programme, titled Our Hope is You , was broadcast live from a beautiful open-air stage beside SAT-7’s Beirut studio.

Rami Al-Halaseh, SAT-7 Arabic Channels Executive Director, says, “We are entrusted with very powerful resources and platforms that reach millions across the region with the message of faith, hope and the love of God. In such hard times, it is our calling to intensify this message.”

LOOKING BACK AND REMEMBERING

Two years on from the earthquake that devastated a large swathe of south-eastern Türkiye, a team from SAT-7 TÜRK revisited the affected zone. They interviewed various Christian leaders and aid organisations and discovered that churches were still working hard to meet the needs of their members and neighbours.

Can Teymur from St George’s Church in Alexandretta said, “We still have people who are struggling, who are living in tents, prefabricated houses and trailer homes. We are doing what we can, trying to deliver help to those in need.” And Elmas Akin of Antioch Messianic Church described the impact of their counselling ministry: “One person said, ‘When I come here, I can breathe. Everywhere else drains my energy, but here I’m filled.’”

In April, Sudan mourned two years of destructive civil war. SAT-7 ARABIC provided spiritual encouragement through a short series made by Sudanese Christians called Light of The Resurrection , featuring teaching and worship.

On Sunday 21 September, SAT-7 joined Christian organisations and churches across the world in prayer for the Holy Land, calling for viewers and supporters to stand in solidarity with its suffering people. As the twoyear anniversary of the war approached, SAT-7 prayed for an end to the conflict, for peace and justice for all the peoples of the Holy Land, and for children and families whose lives have been devastated. We shared prayers across our channels and social media platforms to engage others in intercession.

Special programmes on SAT-7 PARS mark the celebration of Easter for both Eastern and Western Churches on 20 April 2025

In the midst of Lebanon tensions, SAT-7’s Lebanon studio opened its doors to children from local churches for a screening of SAT-7 KIDS film, Adonai

To mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, SAT-7 TÜRK created a special film dramatisation of the Nicene Creed being written and proclaimed, capturing the simplicity and conviction of the early Church

LOOKING BACK AND CELEBRATING

As the Eastern and Western Churches both marked Easter on 20 April, SAT-7 PARS produced a special programme that bore witness to the unity of all Christians through their faith in the risen Christ. The one-hour documentary featured the different Easter observances of young Iranian Christians in Cyprus, where one of the channel’s studios is located. By showcasing diverse churches united in a common celebration, it invited viewers to see how the resurrection of Jesus breaks down barriers between people.

Adding to celebrations of Christian unity, SAT-7 ARABIC aired a devotional programme called Evening Gatherings for believers in North Africa. Filmed in Tunisia with segments from Algeria and Morocco, the programme showed a beautiful display of unity among believers, encouraging each other with testimonies, prayers, worship and Bible discussions in different North African languages to promote inclusivity for people across the region.

2025 marked 1,700 years since the great Council of Nicaea, whose teaching was later expressed in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, which SAT-7 uses as its basis of faith. In November we held our biennial Partnership Gathering in İstanbul, Türkiye, only two hours from Nicaea (modern İznik). The creed is the most widely accepted Christian statement of who Jesus Christ is.

Yet so many people in the MENA still do not know who He is, and this is why SAT-7 came into being. November 2025 was also the 30th anniversary of SAT-7’s founding meeting, when many agencies, churches and individuals signed up to the vision of a Christian satellite television station serving the region. Since then, SAT-7 has devoted itself to making Christ known and helping our viewers to find new life in Him.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Jesus is the light and life, and salvation is in His hands. How did I not know all this before? I thank you with all my heart. I’m starting to realise the ignorance I was living in. Perhaps many people don’t understand the true worth of the Lord Jesus. What should I do to grow spiritually?

INSPIRING PRAYER

2. SAT-7 UK

ENGAGING WITH CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN THE UK AND ROI

Inspiring and equipping staff, volunteers and supporters to pray in a range of different ways continues to be a key focus of SAT-7 UK’s activities. The UK staff team meet daily for prayer, and on Wednesdays join the international office, studios, and other support offices of SAT-7 across the world to pray, reflect and give support, especially during times of crisis. For supporters and churches, we continued to produce a range of high-quality print, digital and audio-visual prayer resources to inspire and encourage regular prayer for SAT-7 and the Church in the MENA.

Our flagship prayer product continued to be the quarterly Prayer Diary , the prayer points from which are now being used across web and social media platforms to encourage a daily moment of prayer. From October 2025, we launched a brand-new look email and podcast, called 7 ways to pray for the Middle East . Each month, this round-up email provides 7 up-to-date ways for supporters to pray for SAT-7’s work and current events from the region.

In 2025, we repeated key prayer campaigns for Lent and Advent. We brought out an updated second edition of our much-loved devotional book, 40 Days of Prayer for the Middle East , each copy of which was sold with a free study guide to encourage deeper reflection. We also brought out an activity book, A Very Middle Eastern Easter , to inspire a new, younger generation of SAT-7 supporters to engage with SAT-7 and pray for the MENA. At Advent, we reissued our popular A is for Advent daily devotional guide, alongside a brand-new Advent study guide to encourage participation from small groups.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Our Middle East Prayer Experience continued to be used at pop-up events, including at Holy Trinity Bath, Calne Free Church, Keswick in Devon and an exhibition at Romsey Abbey, which had an estimated 1,200 visitors across three weeks in June 2025.

We also inspired prayer through live online prayer events . In April, we gave supporters the exclusive opportunity to join in our international prayer meeting, in which they heard updates and prayer points from SAT-7’s staff across the region. In June, as war broke out between Israel and Iran, we responded quickly to host a Pray for Iran event on Zoom, highlighting SAT-7’s response alongside prayers and voices from on the ground.

INSPIRING PRAYER IN 2025

It was great having Bronwen to speak at our recent prayer event. Her first-hand knowledge of different countries in the Middle East really helped us know how to pray for brothers and sisters in that part of the world. SAT-7 has definitely inspired us to pray!”

DEEPENING UNDERSTANDING

Throughout 2025, we continued to develop new opportunities and resources to help supporters engage more deeply with the Middle East and the complex challenges facing Christians there.

We produced two editions of Insight magazine, our flagship supporter publication, which demonstrates the impact of SAT-7 with engaging stories, feature pieces, maps and viewer testimonies. As part of a wider review of our communications, we examined the effectiveness of the Middle East Briefing. The Briefing was first introduced over 14 years ago, during which time the landscape of communications has significantly changed. Based on our research, we replaced the longform Middle East Briefing with a new monthly 7 ways to Pray bitesize podcast and email round-up, alongside the development of Around the Table , a new in-depth, discussion-based podcast for launch in 2026, which will continue to provide the depth of analysis that the Middle East Briefing offered, but in a format more suited to the today’s user experience.

As part of our strategy to engage church leaders , we attended the New Wine Leadership Conference and the Elim Leaders Summit, introducing them to a taster of the Middle East Prayer Experience and conducting pop-up interviews about perceptions of the

region which were then shared on social media. To help existing supporters and church leaders engage more deeply with our work, we hosted a series of Vision Days in 2025 at SAT-7’s Persian TV studio in west London. From this studio, live programmes are broadcast to Persian-speaking audiences across Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Visitors met the production team and presenters, explored the studio environment, and encountered firsthand accounts of faith from believers living in isolation and under pressure across the region.

Alongside this, we focused on deepening relationships with current supporting churches while also connecting with new congregations. Through our Church Partnership programme, churches were invited into a longterm partnership to support lasting change across the Middle East and North Africa. During the year, our staff and ambassadors participated in 119 speaking engagements, including visits to 26 new churches, sharing how God is at work through SAT-7 across the region.

INCREASING REACH THROUGH PRESS AND MEDIA

The last year has seen a number of successful pitches to the UK Christian media, including written articles and radio appearances. Senior SAT-7 UK leadership and key members of the SAT-7 International team have had interviews on UCB1, UCB2 and Premier Christian Radio, including long-form interviews on the show This is My Story. Throughout the year, Premier Christian Radio has also featured a large number of prayers for SAT-7.

In written media, early in the year Senior Director Martin Thomas secured a spot for a thought-leadership piece in Premier Christianity Magazine, reflecting on being called as peacemakers. Christian Today featured an additional thought-leadership piece on SAT-7 ARABIC’s workshops on eliminating endemic domestic violence in Egypt, while towards the end of the year Premier Christianity Magazine published an op-ed on Christians in Gaza. Also published was a moving piece reflecting on the forced return of Afghanistan Christians in Tajikistan; a situation on which we also presented at the UK Freedom of Religion and Belief Forum.

VALUING OUR SUPPORTERS AND REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION

We prioritised expressing our gratitude to SAT-7 donors for their ongoing generosity. We sent two additional reports during 2025 to demonstrate the impact of gifts towards our main appeals. We ran our second Thanking Week , contacting about 700 donors and attempting nearly 500 phone calls as a team. The Thanking Week is quickly becoming a core part of our annual plan, helping us to value and connect more personally with our supporters and also embed a deeper culture of gratitude across the staff, trustee and volunteer teams.

We were moved to see an increase in regular giving during 2025, prompted by new monthly donations and increases to existing regular gifts from current donors. This spoke to us of our donors’ commitment to stand with brothers and sisters across the region, a big encouragement for the UK team and for our colleagues across the MENA.

BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE AND FAITH-FILLED ORGANISATION

We remained committed to embedding our core values—We agree to be authentic; We choose to be courageous; We strive to be creative; We commit to be servant-hearted—into our organisational culture. These values were reinforced through activities, including our daily devotional time, team meetings, staff survey, team days, and staff retreats.

In 2025, we continued our focus on staff wellbeing by holding a series of wellness check-in surveys and topic-related engagement opportunities to foster a supportive and thriving workplace.

SAT-7 UK saw an overwhelmingly generous response from supporters to our Christmas campaigns, including a Giving Tuesday challenge of raising £5,000 in one day. This target was smashed, raising nearly £7,000! This was part of the grand total of over £70,000 raised during our digital and postal appeals, and a special social media campaign, which included a free paper lantern download that gained over 930 sign-ups.

AFFIRMING THE CREATION MANDATE SAT-7 joins the MENA churches in celebrating the “Season of Creation” month. A talk show on SAT-7 ARABIC features theologians and church leaders who explain that the mandate for creation care comes primarily from God; it is not dependent on trends in society. Environmental issues raise serious concerns in the MENA, as it is considered a particularly vulnerable region.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS ON SAT-7

SAT-7’s channels collaborate on the virtual production of a music video featuring the carol “Angels we have heard on high”. SAT-7 PARS airs a documentary examining the roots of Christianity in the Persian World. SAT-7 KIDS screens special episodes of the flagship programme Jesus is Our Strength . SAT-7 ARABIC broadcasts a special Christmas episode of You Are Not Alone featuring children from Gaza who have lost family members or suffered injuries in the war.

PRIORITIES AND GOALS FOR 2026

  1. SAT-7 INTERNATIONAL

GROWING AND SUPPORTING THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

In 2025, SAT-7 International finalised a new strategy for the next three years (2026–28) which identifies four priority audiences: not-yet believers, new believers, children (up to age 16) and young people (up to age 25). This focus does not represent a narrowing down of our intended audiences; SAT-7 is still seeking to reach everyone everywhere in the MENA. However, these audiences face the greatest obstacles to hearing and living out the Gospel, and we are committed to meeting their specific needs and strengthening the Church’s ministry to them. Priorities for achieving this during 2026 include:

I first heard about Jesus through SAT-7. For a full year, SAT-7 was my only discipleship source – my church on screen – before I knew another believer. Now I want to create content to reach others the same way SAT-7 reached me.”

DEVELOPING CONTENT

This year SAT-7 will develop high-quality and creative content to address the misconceptions that many not-yet believers in the MENA have about the Christian faith, using non-technical language and more stories from people on the ground. SAT-7 aims to support local Christians in their holistic mission to not-yet believers by bringing the Gospel directly into people’s homes in their own languages, providing a platform for believers to share their faith, and encouraging the churches to promote the welfare of others.

Many new believers also struggle in that they may have no church to attend or anyone to answer their questions. This prevents them from learning even the basics of the Christian faith and how to live it out in challenging contexts. SAT-7 prioritises helping churches to enable new believers to live and grow as disciples of Christ through the support of their local and global Christian family.

EXPANDING SAT-7 PLUS

SAT-7 will invest substantially in our Videoon-Demand and livestreaming service, SAT-7 PLUS. We aim to:

A major new development will be a vibrant and interactive section for children, promoting both entertainment and education and making the platform a valuable resource for children and their parents.

Similarly, SAT-7 PLUS will aim to help young people in the MENA to lay foundations for a life of discipleship. Improvements to the platform will provide opportunities to share their questions and opinions, support their holistic wellbeing, and encourage them to become changemakers in their communities and wider societies.

MEASURING IMPACT

SAT-7 has created an Impact Strategy Model, setting out the main problems that our ministry exists to address and the changes that we want to promote. In 2026 we will be refining this following a pilot project that is measuring our current impact on our priority audiences. We will also undertake further research during the year to increase our understanding of how these changes happen and what makes SAT-7 effective in delivering them, and to assist us in focusing our work for the rest of this strategy period.

INTEGRATING CHILDREN’S PROGRAMMING

SAT-7’s children’s channel, SAT-7 KIDS, will implement a system that embeds social media and Viewer Support into every area of programme development and execution, from initial brainstorming to final evaluation. This will facilitate stronger interaction between the various teams, cultivate a consistent digital presence, and ensure a unified viewer experience across all platforms. Filming for all the platforms will be done at the same time.

Children are highly valued in the kingdom of God, and SAT-7 affirms this by introducing them to the Gospel of Christ, providing them with a safe space to grow in Him and supporting their physical, mental and social well-being.

RAISING INCOME AND REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION

ENGAGING WITH CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN THE UK AND ROI

1

INCREASING PROFILE

In our 30th anniversary year, we want to increase the profile and standing of SAT-7 across the UK, and continue to maximise opportunities to share the stories of SAT-7 within both Christian and mainstream press and media. In June, we will significantly raise SAT-7’s profile to a brand new, mass audience by partnering with Langham Arts at their annual Prom Praise performance at the Royal Albert Hall (while also using the event and its online livestream to engage more deeply with existing supporters). We also plan to elevate SAT-7’s standing among Church leaders by exhibiting at several Christian leadership conferences across the country.

As SAT-7 celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, we recognise that this would not have been possible without the support and investment of our donors. We want to celebrate their impact in the MENA through a range of initiatives that inspire individuals, churches and communities to partner financially with SAT-7 in continuing our ministry into the future.

A milestone celebration naturally leads us to look ahead and this year, we are committed to shining a spotlight on the importance of gifts in Wills. We want to be open about how these precious gifts play a vital role in sustaining our work, while also allowing donors to make a lasting impact on future generations who will have the opportunity to hear the gospel, thanks to their compassion and generosity, even beyond their own lifetime.

INSPIRING PRAYER

Prayer is one of our key priorities at SAT-7 UK. We will continue to provide supporters and churches with print and digital resources and events, to equip them with current and relevant ways to pray for the MENA and SAT-7. Yet deeper than this, we also want to inspire the Church with a richer biblical understanding of the importance and effectiveness of prayer. In 2026, we will launch new resources on the area of prayer, to underpin the importance of praying for the MENA and to integrate this understanding into supporters’ personal discipleship journey.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

DEEPENING UNDERSTANDING

We want Christians of all ages to go deeper in their understanding of the MENA and what life is like for believers there. Alongside our regular resources and events such as Insight magazine and Vision Trips, we will launch new initiatives to reach and engage younger audiences and families.

BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE AND FAITH-FILLED ORGANISATION

Through aligning the management of people with our goals and values, we want to attract, develop and retain talent to cultivate a highly motivated and happy team, fostering a positive workplace culture and an environment in which staff can flourish and develop. We will continue to embed our values into our team culture so that they are at the heart of everything we do.

Our new podcast, Around the Table , will continue to bring together storytellers, peacemakers and thought leaders from across the UK, Middle East and North Africa, to share their insights, experiences, and hopes with an engaged UK audience. This indepth, longer-form podcast taps into listening trends among the 30s-40s age group.

We will maintain and grow a strong partnership with SAT-7 International through strategic input and collaboration.

We are also developing a new flagship children’s resource for families, churches and community groups, exploring the lands of the Bible and introducing the people who live there today.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF 2025

OVERVIEW

RESERVES POLICY

We were greatly encouraged to end 2025 5.9% ahead of our income budget and to deliver £1.7M of support directly for the Christians in the Middle East through the production and broadcast of faithfilled satellite TV programmes and £534K mobilising the church in the UK to pray, deepen their understanding and raise the voice of Christians and those facing isolation and injustice.

During 2025, SAT-7 UK continued to deliver a dynamic programme of fundraising and engagement activities mobilising the Church in the UK and raising the voice of Christians in the Middle East. We continued to prioritise supporter care and relationship management, seeking to deepened relationships with our supporters.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The financial results for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities. In 2025 SAT-7 UK’s income was £2,913,424, 5.9% above the 2025 budget. SAT-7 UK made grants of £1,712,981 to SAT-7 International Trust during 2025.

Expenditure on raising funds was £275,104 (2024: £282,716) while expenditure on charitable activities was £2,581,365 (2024: £ 2,425,770). Net income and expenditure in 2025 showed a surplus of £76,955 (2024: deficit £161,332).

Net assets at 31 December 2025 were £780,786 (2024: £703,831). Cash at bank and in hand at 31 December 2025 amounted to £360,284 (2024: £ 353,314).

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the “free reserves”) held by the charity, should be sufficient at the end of any calendar month to meet the planned working requirements of the charity for the next two to four months. In 2026 the planned working requirements are budgeted to be on average £94,291 per month. The trustees are of the opinion that this level is adequate to ensure that the trust continues at a sustainable level.

At 31 December 2025 SAT-7 UK Trust (‘the charity’) held total reserves of £780,786 comprising:

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

At 31 December 2025, the Free Reserves stood at £285,369 (2024 £203,517). This represented 3.03 months of expenditure on planned working requirements in 2026, which is within the range of the charity’s reserves policy and considered by the trustees to be satisfactory. When carrying out periodic reviews of the reserves held, the trustees take into account that, given the purpose of the Expendable Endowment and Designated funds, these funds could be drawn upon in the event of deterioration in the free reserves position.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE

SAT-7 UK acts as a Custodian Trustee, holding cash on behalf of SAT-7 International Trust. SAT-7 International Trust’s objects are consistent with those of SAT-7 UK. SAT-7 UK holds this cash in separate designated bank accounts with a trustee-approved bank mandate, safeguarding the movement of these funds.

In 2024, SAT-7 UK entered into a formal Custodian Agreement that puts into a written form an oral agreement between SAT-7 UK Trust and SAT-7 International Trust which preexisted the Joint Ministry Agreement between the same parties of 1st August 2017.

Under common law, SAT-7 UK as Trustee holds funds on behalf of the Beneficiary, SAT-7 International Trust, in a custodian account, on bare trust for SAT-7 International. The funds of the trust are held in designated UK bank account(s) in the name of SAT-7 UK on behalf of the Beneficiary and controlled by the Beneficiary.

INVESTMENTS

Fixed asset investments relate to two flats donated in 2015 and 2018. These flats remain rented out. The flats are held as investment properties within the existing expendable endowment fund and were reclassified in 2019 as current assets in the balance sheet as the intention was to sell them. Due to an unsuccessful sale and the challenging economic situation, the decision was made to take the flats off the market, hence in December 2022 the flats were reclassified as fixed assets. A third flat was donated to the charity in 2025; the intention is to sell the flat in 2026 and it is being held in general fund as a current asset.

GOING CONCERN

The trustees do not have any material uncertainties surrounding the charity continuing as a going concern. The trustees, therefore, do not consider it necessary to reflect, within the level of reserves, any estimate of the costs of closure.

Refer to note 18 for details of the funds received, payments made, and balances held on bare trust for SAT-7 International Trust in the year.

OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT

PURPOSE

The vision of SAT-7 UK is to see a growing Church in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”), confident in Christian faith and witness, serving the community and contributing to the good of society and culture. SAT-7 UK through its partnership with SAT7 International, is bringing life changing joy to the people of the Middle East and North Africa through powerful, faith-filled television and digital media programmes, supported in the UK through prayer, giving and influencing to bring about change.

Through highlighting the needs of the MENA churches SAT-7 UK seeks to encourage our supporters in the United Kingdom to pray regularly, to engage actively and to provide funding and resources towards the work of this vital ministry – helping to support the production and broadcasting of the Christian message into the homes and hearts of the millions of people watching the satellite programmes and engaging with the content on a range of digital media applications.

Through its joint ministry agreement with SAT-7 International Trust, SAT-7 UK is part of the wider international family of SAT-7 supporting the churches and Christians of the MENA region. It is through SAT-7 International Trust that the programmes of the SAT-7 channels are made and transmitted across the Middle East and North Africa. SAT-7 provides support for Christians in areas where the Church is subject to persecution and in places where

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

there is no established church. Television programmes are made by Christian media professionals from the Middle East for the Christians and people of the Middle East. The programmes provide an authentic Christian voice, a fresh perspective for those asking questions about the Christian faith and show how communities can both be Christian and Middle Eastern.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. All activities reflect the trustees’ desire to follow the aims of the Trust and to meet the requirements of general public benefit.

The ministry benefits all those wishing to explore the Christian message both in the UK and further afield presented through personal conversation and media communications in a way that is both relevant and appropriate.

Sharing the core foundations and message of the Gospel is made freely without obligation or cost via satellite systems, social media, the internet, mobile devices, working through partner organisations and through personal conversations and is freely available to all who want to connect and participate. It is made available without any sense of judgement about viewers’ personal circumstances. The aim of all activities is to inform and to engage the viewer about the Christian faith as per the trust’s objective to advance the Christian faith.

GOVERNANCE

The trustees, who are also the Directors and members of SAT-7 UK Trust Limited for the purposes of the Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (FR102 SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ in preparing the Annual Report and financial statements for the charity.

The trustees, (who are also the directors and members of SAT-7 UK Trust Limited) in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), set the strategic direction of the charity, agreeing financial plans and assessing the risk implications. The key management personnel of the charity are the board of Trustees, and the CEO, the Senior Director and the Operations Director. The Operations Director resigned from their post in 2025 and no replacement was recruited during 2025. The Board of Trustees agree the annual salary levels of the Chief Executive. The trustees have delegated overall management of the charity to the CEO. The CEO has in turn recruited a staff team who have specific responsibility for implementing strategy.

Meetings of the trustees are held quarterly and are used to review progress, set objectives, establish policies, as well as other issues of relevance. Communication between meetings is extensive through email, telephone and the meeting of sub-committee members. In 2025 the trustees held their meeting in person, supplemented by video conferencing when needed and met together in September 2025 for a two-day retreat meeting.

The Board has from time to time set up subcommittees to assist it in governance. Currently it has a Finance and General Purposes Committee to monitor the financial affairs of the Trust, act as the audit committee and to

review and advise the trustees and senior staff on all employment matters affecting SAT-7 UK. In October 2022, a Governance Committee was set up to make recommendations on board governance including trustee succession planning.

The board of SAT-7 UK has agreed a joint ministry agreement with SAT-7 International. In 2024 SAT-7 UK was formally represented on the International Council of SAT-7 International Trust, (registered in Cyprus under the international trust law of the Republic of Cyprus) and the board chair Mr Richard Giles represented SAT-7 UK on the International Council of SAT-7 International Trust and Mr Roy Kemp, the previous chair, remained an elected member of the Executive Board to the International Council of SAT-7 International Trust. SAT-7 UK made grants of £1,712,981 to SAT-7 International Trust during 2025.

TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT, INDUCTION & TRAINING

RECRUITMENT

It is the policy of SAT-7 UK to maintain a Board of Trustees that will be able to promote the interests of SAT-7 UK in Great Britain and Ireland effectively, to make it a commonly known, clearly understood, and widely supported as an inter-denominational Christian charity. Trustees are selected to utilise their specific skills and experience. The skills of potential trustees are therefore taken into consideration before appointment to ensure that a diversity of skills (including finance, marketing and fundraising), experience and Christian traditions are represented on the board. Trustees are recruited by a variety of means which may include personal recommendations, advertising, the Charity’s website and through the Christian media. Joining the Board is seen as a journey for both parties and is managed by the Governance

Sub-Committee. Prospective candidates are interviewed by the existing trustees including the Board Chair and the CEO. If agreed by the Governance Sub-Committee, they are then invited to attend a Board meeting as an observer. After the meeting the Chair consults with the Board and a vote is taken. All trustees must be fully supportive of SAT-7’s ethos and statement of faith.

Each Trustee serves for a term of three years and then are subject to re-election. There is no limit set to the number of terms a trustee can stand for. During 2025 one new trustee was recruited and no trustees stood down. One trustee has served on the board for more than 9 years, this trustee’s term comes to end in 2026. The Governance committee has a trustee recruitment plan is in place to ensure continuity on the board and provide effective new board members to replace these long serving trustees.

INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

The processes of induction and training are intended to ensure that individual trustees are enabled to bring as much added value to the work of the board as their personal background, experience and skills equip them to do. New trustees are provided with information about the charitable company together with copies of the Charity Commission’s booklet for new trustees. Seminars and training courses relevant to specific aspects of the Trust’s work are brought to the attention of trustees. New trustees are encouraged to visit the office of the charity at an early stage and meet with the staff. Annual board retreats are organised which include an opportunity to meet with key staff and receive training if required. A trustee skills matrix and meeting log are regularly reviewed to ensure the trustees are effective in their roles. All board members are expected to keep up to date in their own professional disciplines where this is appropriate. Board members are also

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

encouraged to take at least one overseas trip to see the work of SAT-7 International.

At the board away days the trustees looked at the annual rhythm of board meetings to ensure that the board’s has the right strategic focus.

MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Trustees, working through the Board and its committees, are the ultimate decision makers for SAT-7 UK Trust. They entrust day-to-day management of the Charity to an Executive leadership team, which operates within a framework, and a scheme of delegation, set by the trustees. The Executive leadership team (known as the ELT) is led by the Chief Executive and comprises the Senior Director and the Director of Operations. Members of the ELT may attend Board meetings, but do not vote.

PAY POLICY FOR KEY MANAGEMENT

The key management personnel of the charity comprise the trustees, the Chief Executive, the Senior Director and Operations Director (resigned August 2025). The total employee benefits of the Leadership Team in 2025 were £194,235 (2024: £205,203). Details can be found in note 6 to the accounts.

Remuneration and benefits for executive management are determined on the basis of performance, and periodic peer sector benchmarking using Hay benchmarking data. In the case of the Chief Executive this power is delegated by the Finance and General Purposes Committee. In the case of other management personnel, pay and benefits are determined by the Chief Executive, subject to an overall budget agreed by the trustees.

POLICY STATEMENTS: DATA PROTECTION, REGULATORY ACTIVITY

DATA PROTECTION

SAT-7 UK recognises that personal data of our supporters is valuable and seeks to embody best practice in the way supporters’ data is gathered, stored and used. SAT-7 UK therefore:

MONITORING OF REGULATORY ACTIVITY

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for data protection and for keeping up to date with The Code of Fundraising Practice to ensure that all response devices and data capture forms comply with data protection guidelines.

SAFEGUARDING, GRANT MAKING

SAFEGUARDING

Although SAT-7 UK does not work directly with children or vulnerable adults, SAT-7 UK is committed to good practice in dealing with any safeguarding issues. There may be occasions when children or vulnerable adults are present during a SAT-7 UK event or presentation. In such a context the SAT-7 UK staff member or volunteer will follow the safeguarding policy of the host organisation.

SAT-7 UK updated its safeguarding policies in 2025 and continues to monitor its practices and training in this area.

Additionally, SAT-7 UK annually reviews the safeguarding policies of SAT-7 International Trust.

GRANT MAKING POLICY

SAT-7 UK makes grants primarily to those partner organisations it has a joint ministry agreement with and does not normally accept unsolicited grant applications. Since 2017 SAT-7 UK has had a joint ministry agreement with SAT-7 International Trust, (registered in Cyprus under the international trust law of the Republic of Cyprus).

The SAT-7 UK Board of Trustees has delegated the day-to-day management of the grant making process to the Finance and General Purposes Committee (FGP) who report at each board meeting on grants made since the last meeting. The grant making process includes policies on gift acceptance, anti-money laundering, the management of general funds and payment to overseas bodies.

RISK MANAGEMENT

SAT-7 UK maintains a risk register produced in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidelines. Risks are monitored at each board

meeting with an annual formal review of the full risk register. The register monitors likely risk and designates responsibility for each risk area. The trustees are satisfied that the register manages the key risks to the operations of SAT-7 UK.

The top risks identified in the risk register include increased secularisation and opposition to religion along with declining church attendance, supporter attrition, instability in the Middle East, the impact of a rising costs base. Each of these has action to mitigate, reduce or avoid. The actions are built into the strategic plan and the financial and operational governance of the charity with regular and appropriate monitoring in place.

The trustees are aware that, apart from meeting SAT-7 UK’s own operating costs, they are choosing to deploy the funds at their disposal in a region of the world characterised by social, economic and political instability. They accept that these factors bring to the work of SAT-7 UK an inescapable element of risk of loss of resources which is managed through active relationships with those involved in the field and through close monitoring of funds and resources made available to SAT-7 International and other Partners involved in the work. The risk assessment is regularly reviewed.

The Council of SAT-7 International makes every effort to reduce these risks through its strict ethos and programming policy which ensures that broadcasts are culturally relevant, do not speak against other religions, do not make political statements and make every effort not to cause offence to other religious groups. SAT-7 International understands the risks very well and do all they can to guard against them or at least mitigate their consequences through the programmes and broadcasts made.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Sat-7 UK Trust Limited (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted out audit in accordance with international Standards in Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements

that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If based, on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the

Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

remaining alert during the audit for any indications of non-compliance.

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assuranceethics/auditors-responsibilities-for-the-audit. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the Charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s members those matters we are required to state in them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CASH FLOW RESTRICTIONS

Charity law prohibits the use of net cash inflows on any endowed or other restricted fund to offset net cash outflows on any fund outside its own objects, except on special authority. In practice, this restriction has not had any effect on cash flows for the year.

The notes on pages 47 to 65 form part of these financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees assess that the charity has sufficient reserves to be able to meet the challenges of the current economic environment and the charity’s liabilities as they fall due.

i. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future

accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods;

ii. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and this has been included in those cost categories. Other costs, which are attributable to more than one category, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of workload surveys carried out from time to time.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are included within charitable activity costs.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated

ultimate residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:

9 INVESTMENTS

An investment property was received during the financial year with sitting tenants. The flat was put on the market and the tenants left in November 2025. At the signing date of these financial statements the property is being marketed for sale.

The investment properties are revalued professionally every five years as a policy so the carrying amount does not differ materially from the fair value of the asset at the end of the reporting period. The trustees obtained a formal valuation in the year ended 31 December 2025 from Haart Estate Agents. In intermediate years, the properies are valued by the trustees.
