The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in January 20 1 5. ## **Objectives and activities** The objects of the charitable company are to advance the Christian religion either in the UK or overseas, in particular but not exclusively, by: - the advancement of education; - the promotion of good race relations and equality of opportunity between persons of different racial groups; and - the relief of poverty particularly amongst children in inner-city areas. The directors seek to achieve these aims by: - training and equipping Christian groups in the UK to work with inner-city children. This is achieved primarily by the retail of relevant training materials. - raising awareness of, and collecting funds for projects which relieve poverty amongst children overseas. The charity's trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, they have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set . ## **Grant making** The trustees will consider any requests for grants or donations which they receive. However, due to the nature of the company's operation, it is unlikely to make any grants available (other than passing on donations received for specific purposes) . ## **Achievements and performance** The beginning of 2020 saw Metro World Child UK seeing out our notice on the office premises at 39 Station Road following a new landlord with new lease conditions that the trustees felt weren’t to the best benefit of the charity, particularly regarding the financial impact. To save on expenses we have moved to a smaller office space. The office is now based at The Charis Centre in Crawley. This has been an excellent move on many levels. There are no additional costs e.g. water, gas, electricity, council tax rates etc as this is all covered in the rent. During January we had a phone line and broadband installed. We were able to continue the same telephone number as Station Road providing continuity for our supporters and we have also been able to keep the same PO Box address which has been excellent avoiding inconvenience and additional printing costs. The move to the Charis Centre has also been beneficial in terms of security with a dedicated reception staff and from a ministry perspective has been great to be based in an office situation where staff share the ideals of Metro World Child. The UK was hit with Covid-19 in March and in April entered a full national lockdown. The office was closed and our office manager, Mrs Cameron, worked from home as per government regulations. During the months of this first national lockdown The Charis Centre very generously waived the rental fee. This was a tremendous help. Early in the lockdown Mrs Cameron rang some of the older supporters of Metro to see how they were doing. These courtesy calls were so well received and she advised the New York office about these calls. The Head Office in New York felt this was an excellent way to support our supporters in this season and so we started a call campaign to check on all our supporters. These calls helped greatly to strengthen the relationship to Metro’s supporters. Richard Place Dobson page 1 ## **METRO WORLD CHILD UK** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ Early in 2020 we saw Mrs Sue Eveleigh begin to volunteer with Metro World Child UK – Mrs Eveleigh has been assisting with items such as sponsor filing, handwritten thank you notes and shredding. She has been a real blessing over this year helping out for a day or two a week. During the end of the year the office at The Charis Centre was moved around to allow for greater social distancing and other suggestions from the UK government incorporated to ensure a safe working environment for two people in a single office to follow government recommendations and to protect both our employee and volunteer. In the Summer Metro New York launched the Kenya Critical campaign in response to the needs after the impact of Covid-19 on the countries it is operating in. The response to the campaign was excellent with many new sponsors and many donations. A number of existing sponsors took on additional children to sponsor. Overall this campaign was very successful; a number of children were sponsored through our local Metro UK sponsors. It was planned that Dr Bill Wilson would do his usual Autumn tour in the UK. But the week before the tour with many venues cancelling or unable to meet due to Covid government restrictions the tour was cancelled. A few venues had Dr Wilson and Ms Stellatos to speak via recorded message. Mrs Cameron was also able to speak to a group on a Zoom call raising awareness of the work of the charity which has a great impact on the attendants. There was another lockdown in November where Mrs Cameron worked from home. December saw our usual Christmas call project. Mr Malcolm Cameron, married to our office manager, Mrs Cameron kindly volunteered in helping with the calls as well as Mrs Paliama from the New York office. We trialled a new gift option in November with folks being able to purchase a ‘gift certificate’ for a friend for Christmas where kids would be fed in Kenya or a gifted one year child sponsorship. The response was good to this venture; a great benefit for the children in need and the supporters who participated. As we reflect back on 2020 whilst being a difficult year there have also been good things. The move to the new office has been a great move for Metro World Child UK and feels the right move on so many levels. We were pleased to see that Metro World Child UK was able to support the partner organisation and its services even more than the previous years. The funds raised through the UK supporters have assisted with various programmes in New York and around the World. In 2020 the key programmes were in Kenya and the Philippines providing food for children and their families – the Kenya critical campaign was a catalyst for raising funds to meet these needs. In many of our outreach areas around the world our children struggle with the reality and effects of extreme poverty. At Metro, we believe that it is important to not only meet spiritual and emotional needs, but we must also address the physical needs that so many of our children face. Our children often lack basic needs integral to their growth and development; things such as school supplies and uniforms, clean drinking water and filling meals or even warm clothing in the winter. Our aim is to help support the development, growth and nourishment of each of our children; we see it as a necessary and critical investment into their future. The Covid-19 situation has been so challenging for so many of our supporters but we have been amazed to see so many stand up and support even more during this trying time for the poor especially in Kenya. As we reflect back on 2020 as an organisation although it has been a particularly difficult year we have been amazed at how our supporters have stood with us through this year. We are grateful for the work that we were able to accomplish and for the supporters who made it possible. ## **Financial review** ## **Financial position** The charity had total net incoming resources of £8,137 (2019: £84,951) in the period as shown in the statement of financial activities on page 5 of the accounts. ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have established a policy for unrestricted reserves, whereby, in order to enable the charity to operate effectively, they aim to have three to six months expenditure in general funds. The unrestricted reserves are now £ 127,232 (201 9 : £129,824) and restricted funds are £ 28,545 (201 9 : £17,816 ).

RicbardPlace Dob5Q ## **METRO WORLD CHILD UK** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF METRO WORLD CHILD UK** I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Metro World Child UK (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2020. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants for England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 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 that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or - 3 the financial statements 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 - 4 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached. ## **Darren Harding ACA FCCA DChA** Richard Place Dobson Services Limited 1-7 Station Road Crawley West Sussex RH10 1HT Dated: 31 January 2022 Richard Place Dobson page 4 ## **METRO WORLD CHILD UK** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ |**Current financial year**

The registered office is Ground Floor, 1 - 7 Station Road, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 1HT. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity .

Designated funds are those designated as such by the directors. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. ## **1.4 Income** Donations, gift aid on donations and other forms of income are recognised as incoming resources when receivable. ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. Expenditure on charitable activities includes grants payable made to third parties and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. The Trustees have identified one charitable activity. 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, and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities. Richard Place Dobson page 9 ## **METRO WORLD CHILD UK** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Fixtures, fittings & equipment 15% reducing balance The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities . ## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.8 Financial instruments** The charitable company only has financial assets and 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. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably results in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. ## **1.9 Taxation** As a registered charity the company benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and corporation tax. The charity is not registered for value added tax. ## **1.10 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. ## **1.13 Hire purchase and leasing commitments** Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Richard Place Dobson page 10 ## **METRO WORLD CHILD UK** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **3 Donations received** |**Unrestricted Unrestricted**
