TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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 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 charitable
company's operation, it is unlikely to make any grants available (other than passing on donations received for specific
purposes).

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 March 2025.
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.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006 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. In carrying out my examination I have followed the
Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section
145 of the Charities Act 2011. 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:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other
than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial
statements 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.
