The objects of the Charity are the advancement of the Christian faith and the worship of God by any means. This is primarily done through the staging of theatrical productions, the making and distribution of DVDs of such productions and related merchandise. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular the Charity Commission’s advice on The Advancement of Religion for Public Benefit. ## Charitable activities ROMI continues to use the drama production called “Heaven’s Gates & Hell’s Flames” as a vehicle to share the Christian faith throughout The United Kingdom, Europe, Africa and beyond. The drama is a hard-hitting series of scenes which clearly show the Biblical principle that the decisions we make during our lifetime will affect where we will spend eternity when we die. It also gives very clear moral guidance encouraging a life that honours biblical values. After being invited by a church, ROMI will send one of its teams to help the church stage the production after a few days of rehearsal and times of prayer. At all times the cast, which is made up of volunteers, is reminded of the spiritual reason for the drama and are encouraged to invite family and friends to the performances. Their involvement in the production teaches them drama skills and encourages confidence in their abilities as well as giving them an opportunity to share their faith with others. ROMI is a non–denominational organisation working with a broad range of churches and individuals who hold to the beliefs of the Christian faith. ## **SECTION 2 - Achievement and Performance** ## Activities and achievements in the year During 2025 ROMI conducted 5 successful missions in UK and 2 in Mongolia. After the very successful mission in Mongolia during 2024 ROMI played a significant role in establishing a new local team in Mongolia. This involved many months of planning plus sourcing of appropriate equipment and materials. This all resulted in two visits to Mongolia, one planning visit in June and then a longer visit of two weeks in November to train the new team and conduct two missions with them. Two local churches were involved and a very positive outcome was reported with good testimonies of changed lives and interest in the Christian faith. ROMI conducted a review of governance and policies with an update to the financial policy agreed in March 2025. We continue in membership with charitable advisory group Trust Advice. After another successful year with Independent Examiners (a sister company of Trust Advice) it has been decided to continue with them for the 2025 accounts. ROMI sets aside 10% of its income from churches and profits from merchandise as a tithe in accordance with biblical teaching. This fund is used to support other charities and in the year 2025 we were able to support several charitable organisations giving support for work against people trafficking and support for widows and orphans in areas affected by war and poverty. ## Subsequent events and future developments In 2026 ROMI will seek to continue its work in the UK, Europe and Africa as opportunities arise. ROMI is currently at the planning stage for a four week mission in Hungary during November 2026. ROMI continues to give financial and technical support to teams operating in Europe, Africa and other areas as needs arise and funding becomes available. 4 ## **REALITY OUTREACH MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL** **(Limited by Guarantee)** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** ## **SECTION 3 - Financial review** ROMI are thankful for the continued support of the majority of our donors. The Charity made an overall profit of £9,704 unrestricted profit in the year. Income from churches has decreased from £8,400 last year to £8,000. The unrestricted funds at the year-end total £28,792, of which £5,862 is invested in fixed assets. £23,778 remains as unrestricted cash fund which the Trustees believe are sufficient to cover any short term fluctuations in income and expenditure. ## Reserves policy The Trustees' aim is to retain funds equal to three months' operating expenditure to enable the Charity to withstand a financial setback or take advantage of an opportunity. ## **SECTION 4 - Structure, Governance and management:** ## Constitution The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its articles of association which require that the charity be managed by a Board of Trustees the members of which are directors and managing trustees respectively within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. ROMI’s registration details, staff and professional advisers are to be found on page 3. ## Induction and training of new trustees The trustees are familiar with the practical work of the Charity. When a new trustee is appointed, appropriate induction and training is provided and they are made aware of the Charity Commission’s publications on Public Benefit and in particular the Charity Commission’s advice on The Advancement of Religion for Public Benefit. ## Organisational structure The Board of Trustees administers the Charity and, in particular, makes all the strategic decisions. To facilitate the efficient operation of the Charity, the trustees delegate the authority for operational matters to ROMI’s Drama Directors. ## Related parties Reality Outreach Ministries Inc. (ROM Inc), a charitable company incorporated in Canada, is the Charity’s parent undertaking in accordance with the provisions of the relevant United Kingdom Companies Acts. ROM Inc continues to guide the development of ROMI’s activities in Europe, Africa and beyond, which are co-ordinated at the ROMI’s registered office. ## Risk management The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The risk assessment has been reviewed during the year. 5 Oh behdl¢ Xq , Lo¥L Q,-L. u. Ilk ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Reality Outreach Ministries International for the year ended 31st December 2025 set out on pages 8 to 14. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees of Reality Outreach Ministries International (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Reality Outreach Ministries International are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: - accounting records were not kept in respect of Reality Outreach Ministries International as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or - the accounts do not accord with those records; or - the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or - the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. ## **14. RESERVES POLICY** The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. ## **15.
