2023 was still challenging for Moldova, with the ongoing war in neighbouring Ukraine threatening its security and affecting the cost of living. Our partners continued to faithfully serve the Lord, and bring His love to their communities, resulting in several baptisms throughout this year. This included Pastor Slavic from Dancu (above) who had the joy of baptising his daughter, Alina, in September.

Trustees’ Report - Mission and Activities

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023. Breadline is a Christian charity constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 January 1997, and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The day-to-day administration and communication with project partners is carried out by the Executive Officer.

Our Mission

Our mission is in the Republic of Moldova where we give support to local churches and charities that are committed to serving the poor and disadvantaged in their communities. We work alongside Christians as they seek to embody the life of Jesus Christ in their local communities through word and action.

Our Aims

• • Sustainability to help people to escape the poverty trap, discover their full potential and live sustainable lives.

• Partnerships - to establish partnerships with Christians and local churches to enable them to develop ongoing community projects and ministries.

• Links - to connect churches and charities in the UK with churches and charities in Moldova.

• Unconditional support - we work unconditionally to demonstrate God’s love for all people, respecting the right of individuals to pursue their own beliefs.

Key Goals

• To facilitate sustainable community development initiatives.

• To promote ‘children at risk’ education and prevention of trafficking programs through partner projects such as children’s day centres and providing education opportunities.

• To create employment by supporting income generation projects.

• To provide training to equip members of the local communities with essential skills.

• To be advocates for those who cannot speak for themselves.

• To build networks between people, churches and organisations in Moldova and in other countries.

• Capacity building to help our partner churches and charities in Moldova to grow into sustainable organisations which can thrive independently without relying on Western donors. Breadline facilitates this by supporting training in project management, governance, fundraising and publicity, and organisational development.

Key Values

• Unconditional - support is offered regardless of religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or ethnic origin.

• Participative - involvement of all stakeholders.

• Relevant - appropriate interventions that demonstrate respect for rights and choices.

• Avoiding dependency - emphasis on achieving ownership, empowerment and sustainability.

• Relationships - built on openness, honesty and trust.

• People centred - focussing on our partners and their projects, recognising that they are the experts in their own culture and therefore providing support in a culturally appropriate way.

Above: Moldova has a reputation in Eastern Europe for its warm hospitality and for having some of the best food. The women seen here in Dancu are making sarmale - tiny parcels of stuffed cabbage leaves. It is a long process to make the filling, the parcels and finally to cook, but the women enjoy making a social occasion of the activity. They often make it for special events or when there are guests visiting the church, but here they are making it for the 60 elderly people on their feeding program, the Inn of Love. They provide hot meals three times a week, and occasionally they will cook sarmale as a treat as they know how special it is to their culture and the memories it will evoke for these elderly people who are no longer able to make it for themselves.

Right: the directors and staff at the Charity Mission, a New Hope, celebrated their 20 year anniversary in May. This charity works with children and adults with additional needs by providing a day care centre for children aged 3 - 16, in the town of Straseni, summer camps for children and adults,

bible study classes, 1:1 support for families and training for parents, carers, churches and other professionals. It has been an honour for Breadline to partner with them for the last 12 years, and to see the difference they are making to the lives of so many individual people and their families.

Overview of Developments, Activities and Achievements

The war in Ukraine had a significant impact on all our partners in 2022, which continued to be felt throughout 2023. The stability of the country was under threat, and the cost of food, building materials, utility bills and fuel remained high. Thanks to the amazingly generous response to our appeal in 2022, we remained able to support our partners in the work they were doing with refugees. This included:

• supporting our partners at Emanuel Clinic to provide free medical care to refugees, both within their main clinic in Chisinau and those who attended the mobile clinics throughout the country. These patients were thankful for the kind attitude of the staff and the fact that they did not just help them with their physical health, but also supported them to work through the trauma they had experienced and its affect on their mental and spiritual wellbeing.

• providing monthly food parcels for 50 families visited by our partners the Charity Mission, a New Hope fs \ BA (photo right). Many of these families had members with additional needs who had been signposted to Antonina, one of the directors of the charity. She was able to assess the needs, provide advice including referrals to specialist services, and she understood the importance of special dietary requirements and sourced the foods necessary for the parcels where appropriate.

• paying utility and food bills for our partners in Dancu as and when they were hosting refugees. They have one young woman staying permanently with them, and occasional families who stay with them whilst they get their paperwork in order before moving on.

• helping to support our partners from the Lord’s Army Church in Chisinau, who have a hostel in their church

• building for 25 - 30 refugees. Our support paid for their monthly utility bills and also bought resources for them to do activities with the children (photo above).

• buying food flasks for a pastor in Ukraine, known to Pastor Slavic from Dancu, to take hot food to civilians and frontline soldiers in the Kherson region.

We continue to support our partners to deliver their established projects. This includes: helping to meet basic needs and improve quality of life for people living in poverty; providing medical care to those struggling to access it; supporting businesses to become sustainable and

helping a bible school to train pastors and to deliver evangelical projects.

UK Partners and Networking - we have partnerships with a number of UK charities, including Medical Missionary News and Moldova Mission. We were delighted to have several opportunities to work together in support of our partners in Moldova during 2023. We are grateful for the continuing advice and support we have received from Trusts, farmers, cheese specialists and other members of the community in Northern Ireland, who play a key role in the development of the Tabita business projects we support in Dancu.

USA Partners - Breadline works with USA charity partners Globalways, AGConnect Ministries and missionaries from the International Mission Board, to raise funds and provide advice towards the development of the dairy, cheese, agricultural, horticultural bakery and coffee shop businesses belonging to our partners in Dancu.

Field - our Executive Officer (EO), Di Acaster, visited Moldova in February with trustee Carol Feben. They attended business training delivered by our American partners to the Tabita Team in Dancu, and Di went on to visit the Charity Mission, a New Hope, in Straseni. Di attended the official opening of the Hope Club Centre for children with thee — : additional needs and their families in GP Dancu in September (photo right with 7 Andreae, one of the first children to EE attend the club in 2014).

In August, Ian Hames (chairman), and Glenn Henry (trustee) volunteered at the Charity Mission’s summer camp for children with additional needs, and then visited Dancu and pastors connected to the Grace Bible School.

Regular Zoom meetings were held between the EO and trustees with our partners, and we facilitated meetings between ourselves, our partners in Moldova and different supporters and Trusts in the UK.

Summary of Partner Supported Activities

Building Sustainable Livelihoods - Dancu Tabita Agricultural Association. Our support in the spring enabled Tabita to plant 10ha of wheat (4ha of which were grown specifically to provide seeds for planting in 2024), 25ha of corn and 6ha of alfalfa. They were also able to buy the fertiliser needed for all the land and the fuel for the tractor over the planting season. Support was given to purchase a front loader for the tractor.

• Support for the horticultural project. We funded the buying of 1300 seedlings for the two polytunnels, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and aubergines. There was an abundant harvest of fresh produce, which they used for the Inn of Love feeding program for the elderly, the refugees and other projects where hospitality was included in the community centre. The women made preserves to help supplement = mae these projects x Steen iva x ate throughout the winter (photo right).

• Dancu Tabita Cheese and Dairy Project employs 23 workers. Our support included: funds for them to build a new packaging room required to meet new government legislation; a bar code machine and boxes to enable them to create new contracts with a wider range of supermarkets; materials to repair the cheese factory floor and the ongoing work to complete the cow m barn and barnyard. We also a

• Unfortunately the business has i, —— continued to struggle during 2023

due to the continued financial crisis in Moldova and sales remained low. We have helped to subsidise wages and pay off outstanding debts.

• Dancu Tabita bakery. With the support of Ditty’s Bakery in Northern Ireland, we continue to help Tabita’s non-commercial bakery which produces bread for social feeding projects for the elderly, for struggling families, and for church community events. Work has continued on the new bakery and coffee shop, but they are not yet at the standard required to gain their license to become commercial.

• Education . 35 young people, many of whom were at risk of being trafficked, were helped through vocational and higher education courses including accountancy, electrical engineering, teaching and languages. Five of these students successfully finished their studies and went on to find employment.

Children at Risk

• Prevention of Trafficking. This is mainly addressed through the education project mentioned above, and by providing vocational training through the sustainable businesses being created in Dancu.

• Children’s Ministries and Safeguarding. Our partners run various children’s groups where they can assess and monitor children at risk and help to keep them safe. In Dancu, Breadline supports a club called “Girls in Action”, which is attended by 15 - 20 girls aged up to 16 years old. It is run by a team of 4 women, who provide a supportive environment where they teach the girls life skills, do crafts, play games, make friends and have fun, as well as providing a good meal each week.

The church in Dancu distributes regular food parcels and humanitarian aid for some of the most vulnerable families in their community. This enables them to visit on a regular basis and monitor individual situations, providing assistance if needed. The church also has a close relationship with the local school to identify families needing extra support. Due to this, Breadline helps to fund hot meals for 20 children’s school dinners whose families are unable to afford to pay.

We provided funds for our partners in Cioropcani to hold a week-long summer day camp attended by 142 children a | } , y sais "I J L. altogether! Many of these ba = Gii7atg® h ie children were from very poor families, and were particularly SSeS grateful for the food that was being provided (photo right). As a result of this camp, 19 teenagers now attend a regular youth group at Pastor Vasile’s house.

We also supported our partners in Dancu to hold a summer camp in July, in collaboration with our American charity partners Globalways, focussing on outreach to the nearby village of Leuseni.

We continue to support a weekly youth group meeting in the village of Poganesti. We also provided the funds for them to have a special celebration for the children and their families for International Children’s Day on June 1st (photo right).

Support for People with Disabilities and Additional Needs

The Moldova Charity Mission for People with

Disabilities changed their name to “Charity Mission, a New Hope during 2023. They run a day centre for children with disabilities in Straseni which Breadline supports on a monthly basis. We provided funds for them to celebrate International Children’s Day in June, attended by 60 children with additional needs and their families.

Professional children’s

entertainers organised games and performed magic tricks, and the children all enjoyed pizza for lunch. A wonderful occasion for children who often live isolated lives to have fun with their friends (photo right).

The Hope Club in Dancu is a group for children with additional needs and their families which we have supported since it began in 2014. We have funded the building of an | . Whe ; extension to their community centre to create a specialist space for the children and their parents/carers to meet, including a sensory room which is therapeutic for children and adults alike (photo right)! This centre

was finally completed in 2023, and the official opening was on September 2nd. It was a joyous occasion, attended by over 100 people altogether. The club continues to run for the children on a weekly basis, with once a month meetings to support the parents and carers. A speech and language therapist and teacher leads the weekly groups. She also assesses the children and puts therapy programs in place. In October, we supported a day trip to the zoo and a soft play centre, attended by 34 people altogether, including all the children from the Hope Club and some family members. They finished with pizza and ice cream - a real treat for them all! These families received food parcels in December to celebrate the International Day for People with Disabilities.

Family Welfare and Medical Support

• Food Aid. The majority of food aid in 2023 went to the refugees as previously mentioned which is on-going. In Dancu we supported the purchase and distribution of monthly food parcels to 10 - 15 families. We 5 : 2? helped to provide baby milk for a 3) sj iy WH Lj young mother in Poganesti, and we also worked with the charity, Dorcas, i \: a to provide food buckets given to 100 i _ households in Dancu in the spring ‘ (photo right).

In October, we supported Pastor Vasile in Cioropcani to distribute 50 food parcels to families at an evangelical event he was holding in his village.

• Mobile Medical Clinics. With the support of our UK charity partners Medical Missionary News (MMN), Emanuel Clinic, delivered 13 mobile clinics in remote villages carrying out over 1140 consultations.

•Equipment and Medical provisions. Breadline supporters made regular donations of walking aids, dressings, catheter bags, syringes, stoma bags and other medical supplies throughout the year.

•Medical Assistance. With the support of MMN, we were able to assist 15 people in need of emergency medical care. This included funds for medical investigations, operations, physiotherapy, treatment and medication, as well as one lady who was in constant pain LW and needed extensive dental work. We >, | | praise God for all the help received which undoubtably eased suffering and saved lives. One child had an acute infection in i his knee following an injury. Fortunately we were informed about it in time for him to receive medication which solved the , . —— problem and prevented him from having an operation (photo right).

•Fuel for heating and cooking. We supported our partners in Dancu to buy 5 tons of briquettes, which provided enough fuel for the winter for 20 of the poorest households in Dancu and Ciora.

In 2018, one of the children from the Hope Club had a We also provided funds for them cochlear implant fitted to help his hearing, but this implant to buy coal for the church stopped working in 2023. We were community centre and the able to provide the funds for him to church. We bought wood for the : ‘ | | have a new one (photo right).

• Clothes Aid and Equipment. Individual supporters, churches and our charity partners Mission Moldova sent over 30,000kg of clothing, toiletries, tools, domestic and medical items which were distributed to approximately 1000 beneficiaries in 16 villages.These items are gratefully received, and provide people with resources they would not be able to afford otherwise.

Church Ministries and Training

• Church Training. We continue to support the Mobile Training Team (MTT) to deliver training to 33 churches and to run the Grace Bible School for up to 40 pastors and youth workers each year. Three training modules were held throughout 2023, including a three day course aimed at : & «= €é ge fathers in December — @ (photo right). | mat : ;

They also ran a special four day seminar at a residential Christian camp attended by 70 people in November. The theme of the camp was the Supremacy of Christ in Creation, Family and Church. Benjiamin Faragau was the guest speaker from Romania

• Evangelical Events. In July Will Graham, from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, spoke for two nights at the Celebration of Hope rally in the capital of Chisinau. This rally was the focus for all evangelical churches in Moldova, as the association organised training for Christians to prepare for the event and to minister to people afterwards. They also funded buses throughout the country for churches to take people to the rally. As a consequence, the MTT did not organise their own evangelistic events as they would normally do, as all their energy and resources were focussed on this opportunity. With the help of the Stuart Hine Trust, Breadline supported Emanual Clinic in Chisinau to fund two medical seminars in the autumn. One of these was the National Medical Conference attended by over 150 medical professionals, with the theme of “Teamwork”. Guest speakers included a professor in cardiology from Romania and the Executive Director of a Christian Charity in Switzerland, which focussed on mission in different parts of the world, 4 L B ‘0 - : including Easter Europe. These pier A a “Uke ay seminars both had an evangelical element to them as well as providing medical training, as not all of the professionals attending > ZY ef =, were Christians (photo right).

We supported the churches in Dancu, Poganesti and Cioropcani in their Easter Outreach event of delivering bread to the most needy households in their villages. In Cioropcani, they also held a celebration for the children when they shared ~€ \ 4 > the story of Easter with bs them, had fun activities [ a & 5 7 and gave out sweets and biscuits (photo right).

•Youth and Children’s Work. We continue to provide ministry support for three youth workers - one in Dancu and a husband and wife team in Poganesti.

•Church and Ministry support. In Dancu, we replaced the pipes in the Community Centre before they had a new floor laid. We also supported them after an arson attack on the church to buy materials to help clean, repair and paint the building. Fortunately there was no structural damage. We provided a substantial amount of help for three church leaders who had serious health issues throughout the year, enabling them to have

investigations, operations, medication and receive ongoing health care. We also provided funds for two pastors to repair their cars plus extra financial help for the 23 regional church leaders in the spring. We supported the church administration costs in Bozieni for six months and provided funds for the church in Poganesti to celebrate the baptism of six new church members in September.

•Foster Families. Throughout 2023, we supported four families from the MTT on a monthly basis who run foster homes through the Baptist Union Scheme in Moldova. These families have 15 biological children between them, and foster a further 22! Our support has also included replacing the washing machine and tumble drier for one of the households, and . Sel

ensuring all the children have the necessary books and equipment needed at the start of the academic year in September (photo right).

Future Developments

We will continue to seek support for our partner projects and ministries and, wherever possible, facilitate direct links with individuals and churches in the UK. In 2024 we look forward to continuing our support for a number of new and ongoing projects, including:

• facilitating the development of the Dancu Tabita Agricultural Association (TAA), the cheese and dairy project and the bakery and cafe.

• supporting TAA in its vision to empower other communities, churches and their leaders in the Hincesti region to develop sustainable livelihoods.

• continuing to support the work undertaken by the Mobile Training Team (MTT) to deliver a training programme which equips leaders and members from 33 churches in the Hincesti region and beyond, and delivering training programmes and conferences for the development of youth workers.

• facilitating the MTT’s vision to share about its model of training at the point of need with churches and Bible Colleges in Moldova.

• supporting the four families from the MTT who run foster homes.

• supporting the development of ministries to people with disabilities and additional needs, and inclusion awareness education. The Charity Mission, a New Hope has outgrown its day centre which is currently attended by 11 children aged

• with the assistance of Medical Missionary News (MMN), to enable our partner Emanuel Clinic to develop its mobile clinic activities.

• equipping and enabling our partner churches and charities in Moldova to be more effective in what they do, through training in leadership, teamwork, management and fundraising.

• empowering the poor and marginalised to realise their potential and achieve sustainable livelihoods through encouragement, practical support and training, especially projects which enable young people to develop their gifts and skills to serve others in need in their own communities.

• supporting projects that provide young people at risk from trafficking with educational and vocational training opportunities.

• supporting projects that bring churches and communities together, and providing educational resources for schools and family welfare.

THANKS

We give thanks, praise and glory to God for His amazing provision for Breadline in 2023 through so many individual supporters, UK grant making trusts, churches, and volunteers.

3 - 16. They have purchased larger premises to convert into a new centre that will accommodate more children and also young adults aged 16 + (photo right). They hope to incorporate a way of income generation within that

project. Due to increasing costs, this project has been on hold, but is hoping to move forward in 2024. As previously mentioned, our partners in Dancu have finally opened the Hope Club Annex for children with disabilities and their families. Breadline will continue to work alongside both partners to help network with specialists in the UK and Moldova as they research how best to move forward with these projects and expand their ministries.

• continuing to support the work our partners are doing with Ukrainian refugees and supporting ministries known to them in Ukraine.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BREADLINE

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages 11 - 18.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

The Trustees (who are also Directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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 independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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) of the 1993 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 the 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 of explanations from you as Trustees concerning 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:

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
