TRUSTEES REPORT

For the Year Ended 31[st] December 2021

The Trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements for the charity.

Governing Instrument

The Tew Trust is a registered charity and was formed under a Deed of Trust dated 1[st] January 1999. The legal and administrative details of the charity are shown on page 1.

Trust Objectives

The trust was formed with the following objectives:

The advancement of the Christian religion by any means whatsoever (but not by way of limitation) the preaching and proclaiming of the Christian Gospel and the teachings of Christian doctrine and principles and the pastoral care of Christian people and the printing and distribution of the Bible and Christian literature by grants to churches, Christian organisations, groups or individuals in the UK or overseas.
The relief of financial hardship by providing money or grants directly to beneficiaries or by supporting other organisations which exist to provide help for such people.
Other charitable purposes for the benefit of the community by any means whatsoever including (but not by way of limitation) support for the relief of old age, sickness or disability where there is no financial hardship; the resettlement and rehabilitation of offenders and drug abusers; the homeless; and the provision of relief for victims of natural or civil disasters.

Review of Activities and Future Developments

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set on page 4 of the financial statements.

The income for the charity for 2021 was £36,211.42. All grants totalling £51,890 were for public benefit. The major grants totalling £48,280 were for Operation Boaz in Burkina Faso.

The Trustees continued to make grants to: Open Doors UK & Ireland for work in Pakistan; International Justice Mission; Willows Counselling Service and Dressability, with additional one off support for Shelterbox.

The Trustees continue to make grants to individuals known to them who were in financial hardship.

The Tew Trust continues supporting the Operation Boaz in Burkina Faso and its associated child sponsorship and education programme. Mrs Marie To, a friend of the trustees and retired mid-wife, has a vision for reducing infant deaths in Burkina Faso, and through child sponsorship improving the communities through sustainable development and education.

During 2021 gifts were channelled to Operation Boaz through to Alliance Missionaire International (AMI). The Trustees continue to receive regular reports from Burkina Faso regarding the progress of the project and of the children being sponsored. Support was provided to 18 Primary School children and 20 Secondary School children as well as providing additional support like sewing machines, bicycles and livestock for sustainable development. There was continued progress on the building of the school and the Trustees are in direct contact with AMI regarding the continued progress.

During 2022, the Trustees expect to continue supporting the needs of primarily Christian charities and individuals already known to them, as well as acting as an intermediary for the ministry in Burkina Faso. The Trustees will take an active interest in the school project for Burkina Faso and the children being sponsored. However, there is uncertainty in the country due to instability and the spread of Islamic extremists.

Income Generation

Income generated through gifts and donations totalled £36,211.42. Donations and income came from the Trustees, individuals making designated gifts, and interest. £2130.58 was reclaimed from the Inland.

Resources Expended

There was no expenditure on fundraising or administration.

Reserves

The policy of the Trustees is to build a small reserve from which they can make a substantial grant in the future.

Risk Management

The charity exposes itself to minimum risk by using a Nationwide Business Investor account.

Fixed Assets

The charity has no fixed assets.

Trustees Responsibilities

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those statements, the Trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding any assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
