The report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
-
The two-year teaching and personal development programme for young people – the Africa Youth Award (AYA) – continued to be developed in several of the countries in which Transformed International is working, including Sierra Leone, Zambia, South Sudan and Kenya. Roger & Glenys London and Ali & Lorraine Patience were able to visit a number of AYA groups on their visits to some of these nations. The process of registering all AYA groups online continued throughout 2023.
-
TI continued to financially support nursery schools (for children ages 4-7) in eight of the countries in which our national Watchmen International (WI) teams operate.
-
The Lifewater distribution Project continued to move ahead with both Village and Kyaka II Refugee Settlement distributions taking place. The Lifewater Villages programme continues to be sponsored by the Aall Foundation, and the Refugee Settlement programme is sponsored by Water Works, Australia. All trips by UK directors to Uganda include a Lifewater distribution activity. Both Roger and Glenys London separately attended Kyaka II Refugee Settlement to participate in distributions there and to meet with the local Lifewater teams. They both also attended a Lifewater pilot programme in Zanzibar. One Water Works distribution al took place in Rhino Camp Refugee Settlement, led by the Madi and West Nile Diocesan team from the Church of Uganda. Plans are ongoing for the Lifewater Project to be introduced to Sierra Leone as soon as possible. Monitoring of many homes, schools and health centre, that have been recipients in Lifewater programmes, continued to take place every 5 months led by our local Lifewater teams. The results from these monitoring exercises continue to be extremely encouraging.
-
Little activity was carried out in South Sudan because of the continuing unstable political situation in this country. However, Glenys London, supported by the AYA International Director was able to train a number of South Sudanese youth leaders in Gulu, Uganda, and to commission them to commence the AYA programme in Juba.
-
Funding for the ministry expenses of the indigenous teams and for the support of the nursery schools was transferred to the relevant national teams on a bi-monthly basis.
FUTURE PLANS – 2024
1. Trips by UK Board members are planned to a number of African countries, including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Liberia, in order to encourage our African teams as they move forward with the Spiritual Transformation training, the Africa Youth Award programme and Lifewater Projects.
- To continue Lifewater Village Projects in Uganda and Sierra Leone. It is hoped that Lifewater programmes will also recommence in Rwanda and Kenya if funds permit. Monitoring and evaluation of the projects will continue to be carried out by our Lifewater and AYA monitoring teams.

Transactions and Financial position Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities show net outgoing resources for the year of a revenue nature of £8,687, (2022: £7,115 incoming)
The total reserve at the yearend stand at £10,290 (2022: £18,977).
Free unrestricted liquid reserves amounted to £2,728.
Policies on reserves
Adequate reserves are maintained to fund the charity’s activities for at least six months forward.
Availability and adequacy of assets of the funds
The board of Trustee is satisfied that the charity assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of reach fund.
The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The Trustees consider that currently, given the nature of the work, the balance in hand at the 31 December 2023 is more than sufficient to give flexibility to cover adequate working capital requirements for committed costs for a year. However, the trustees keep this under regular review as circumstances change. As referred to above the free liquid reserves at 31 December 2023 consist of the general reserves of £2728.
Share Capital
The Company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.

The report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the Company’s Articles the directors are known as members of the charity. The directors are chosen to bring a wide variety of skills to the charity management. Trustees are selected on the basis of the sharing of the vision for the charity and whether their skills are those needed in order for the charity's objectives to be advanced.
Any new appointment is considered by the trustees in their regular meetings and one of their number is deputed to approach the individual concerned. It is intended that in future new trustees will be required to shadow existing trustees prior to their appointment. New trustees are encouraged to engage in a suitable period of training.
All decisions are made directly by or by consultation with the trustees as a body.
Trustees Induction
It is the policy for new trustees to receive a copy of the Trust Deed together with copies of the following Charity Commission Guideline booklets: CC3A: The Essential Trustee – An introduction. CC3: The Essential Trustee – What you need to know.
CC11: Trustee expenses and payments.
Training and induction are on on-going basis via attendance of trustee meetings.

The report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2023
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statements as to disclosure to our independent examiner
In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report: There is no relevant information, being information needed by the independent examiner in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and the trustees, having made enough enquiries of fellow directors that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant independent examination information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Charity
Report of the Independent Examiners to the Trustees on the account of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023
I report on the financial statement of the charitable company on page 10 to 21 for the year ended 31 December 2023.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and charity’s trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
As the charity trustees, who are also directors of the company for the purpose of the company law, you are responsible for preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and is eligible for independent examination. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine accounts under the section145 of the Charities Act;
-
Follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken
My examination was carried out in accordance to general directions given by the charity commission. An examination includes a review of accounting records, kept by the charity and a comparison of accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedure undertaken does not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. Consequently, no opinion is given to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with examination, no matters have come to my attention;
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements;
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statements of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities have not been met; or,
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRANSFORMED INTERNATIONAL LTD
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard application in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard application in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets & liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes(s).
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern. The Charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant and donation support and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on that continuing financial support.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of the provision of specified services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
d) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
15 | P a g e
TRANSFORMED INTERNATIONAL LTD Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
f) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
-
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note1.
i) Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised as cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight-line basis as follows:
| Asset Category | Annual rate |
|---|---|
| Long leasehold building | 1-2% |
| Plant and equipment, and motor vehicles | 10-33% |
j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
16 | P a g e
TRANSFORMED INTERNATIONAL LTD Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023
k) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimating reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
m) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
2 Legal status of the Trust
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being would up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
