METRO WORLD CHILD UK

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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).

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 directors seek to achieve these aims by:

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 charitable company's operation, it is unlikely to make any grants available (other than passing on donations received for specific purposes).

Achievements and performance

2022 was a year of changes, restructuring and stabilization.

Moving out of Covid, this was the first year with full operations, unhindered by lockdowns, tiered levels and other restrictions. However, we could see how the financial pressure was affecting some of the sponsors and donors who in turn limited or paused their regular support for the projects supported by Metro World Child UK. A significant effort was made to recruit new supporters and strengthen relationships with our current, faithful supporters. Phone and email campaigns as well as personal notes helped to ease the effect.

In October of 2022, the founder and president of the global operations of Metro World Child, Dr. Bill Wilson, was able to return for his speaking engagements in the UK, raising awareness for the global projects of Metro World Child and educating our donors and supporters of their support to the successful operations of those projects. 2022 has seen major growth amongst the projects in Kenya, whether educational or feeding as well as projects in India. With the help of the Metro supporters and sponsors in the UK, Metro projects in the Philippines were able to become fully functional again, moving out of one of the world’s strictest lockdowns that left many vulnerable children and families in even worse situations.

Ms. Janine Stellatos who is seconded to oversee the project in Kenya reports a great growth in reaching and supporting more primary schools in Kenya and more than 5,000 children are being fed at this time. She has also accompanied Dr. Wilson on his UK tour to give our supporter a personal update on the work of Metro in Kenya.

We are grateful to see that the newly started Metro programs in the UK saw a significant growth with a number of schools partnering with Metro to benefit from Metro’s educational, moral value programs. The specific Metro World Child curriculum that is developed to specifically help children develop social skills and improve their self-confidence and awareness has been expertly implemented by our consultant Mr. Matthew Murray was also able to advise regarding the recruitment and training of the necessary volunteers. His expertise has been a great asset to the mission of Metro and we are confident that the domestic projects of Metro World Child UK will continue to grow and be of benefit for many children, schools and families.

METRO WORLD CHILD UK

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

In December, Ms Cameron with the support of the team in the NY headquarters undertook an extensive donor care campaign where every supporter with a phone number on record received a personal thank you call, also wishing them a Happy Christmas. This campaign was received very well by our donors who enjoy the personal contact with our Metro team and the opportunity to receive immediate updates from the projects around the world.

Mr. and Mrs. Paliama continued their support work for Metro World Child UK and it is with the help of many volunteers that the support of the global projects can continue on the level it did and even expand.

Financial review

Financial position

The charity had total net incoming resources of £123,568 (2021: £9,431) during the financial year ended 31 December 2022, 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 £259,831 (2021: £136,664) and restricted funds are £28,945 (2021: £28,544).

The charitable company has made charitable donations totalling £367,768 in the financial year (2021: £447,531) to Metro World Child based in New York, the majority of which related to forwarding on specific donations from donors.

Plans for future periods

In the next year we will start looking into other ways of fundraising besides our sponsorship program. Our main focus however remains increasing the number of sponsorships.

With a solid marketing strategy plan we expect to raise more awareness and achieve our goals. Outside sources will be approached to help us. Networking (social media) with businesses and attending exhibitions will be part of this marketing strategy plan as well.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

W Willson

A Paliama

S Gleue

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Vacancies occurring for trustees shall be filled by individuals appointed by the management team in the head office of Metro World Child New York USA and ratified by vote of a majority of Directors then in office, regardless of their number. Trustees appointed shall hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified.

The areas of risk have been identified and the appropriate policy, in each case will be established during the course of next year and will be reviewed and monitored on a regular basis.

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 2022.

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:

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.

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

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. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

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.

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.
