THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Chairman's report
Whilst the Lord’s timing is not always ours, it is always perfect! Since the retirement of John and Gillian Ryeland at the end of 2022 we have been seeking the Lord for a new Director to take on the work of the CHM they so ably led into the next chapter. After much searching we are delighted to confirm the appointment of the Rev Robert Wynford Harris from 1 January 2025.
Rob has been an ordained Anglican minister for 16 years and he and his wife, Anthea, have been involved with CHM from time to time, in different capacities for a number of years. Healing has been a great part of his personal journey and ministry. In each of his parishes he had arranged workshops and training for prayer ministers based on CHM’s style and led by John Ryeland. His vision is for a hybrid type of ministry, continuing with online encounter prayer zoom sessions but adding to this, face to face ministry, training, celebrations and events with the aim of publicising CHM, recruiting and using existing ambassadors and enabling healing in various locations around the UK. He would like to build on the network of churches who have had contact with CHM in the past and invest time and training in other churches, denominations, Christian groups and retreat centres – blessing what God is doing and looking at what help they might need to develop the healing ministry.
We are so grateful to Liz Nicoll (our Administrator) and Suzanne Brooks (based in South Africa) whose contract was extended for a further six months to June 2025. Weekly zoom encounter prayer sessions organised, led and administered by them and a wonderful team of volunteer facilitators have attracted new and regular attendees. There have been some lovely testimonies of what God has been doing during these sessions. All Staff and volunteers (12 out of 15) have completed the Basic Awareness Safeguarding Course run by The Church of England. We are waiting for the remaining volunteers (who have had extenuating circumstances) to complete the course.
It was agreed that in the absence of a director, some spiritual oversight on a regular basis should be offered to Liz and Suzanne. Anthea Platt, wife of Rob Wynford-Harris, chaplain at a girls school and who had a placement with CHM when training for the ministry, agreed to take this on. She was, and is, a regular attendee of the weekly online prayer sessions. She and Rob also led a refreshment session for the team at the end of the year which was gratefully received. The intercessors are being kept busy with requests from our website forms, telephone messages and weekly sessions and we are so grateful to them. The Lord has continued to bless and provide for the continuing work of the Mission financially, through the generosity of so many wonderful supporters.
We are so thankful to the Lord for His continued blessing and provision and are excited at all He has in this next chapter and the many opportunities opening up to make Him known.

Chairman of Trustees and Board of Directors 19 June 2025

THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Structure, governance and management
The Christian Healing Mission ("the charity") ("CHM") is a company limited by guarantee. It was originally created by a Trust Deed dated 17 July 1950, subsequently amended in 1984 and 1994. The charitable company was incorporated on 16 November 1999 and took over the activities of the charity with effect from 1 January 2001. The charitable company was established under a Memorandum of Association which set out the objects and powers of the company. The charitable company is governed by its Articles of Association.
The trustees who served during the year were: Mrs Elizabeth Barker Mr Gregory George Mr Stuart Walker Mrs Rachel Pim
The Trust Deed under which the charity was founded specifies that the trustees may be nominated by other trustees.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charitable company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £10 in the event of a winding up.
The charity has reviewed the risks which impact on its work and has given particular attention to those which are considered more likely, or more important. Major consideration has been given to succession planning following the resignation of the Director at the end of the year and strengthening the Board of Trustees.
The investments have not performed as well as previous years, with market performance continuing to be disappointing over the year. A loss of £101,417 has been reported. The investments are managed by experienced fund managers and their performance is monitored regularly. We have confidence that the long term strategies in place will result in positive growth next year.
A procedure for operation by those involved in facilitating prayer ministry has been refined in order to protect employees and volunteers from false accusation. The charity has also reviewed the existing controls to deal with health and safety, staff welfare and risks associated with delivering Encounter Prayer online.
The trustees consider that the actions taken in risk management will mitigate the major risks and they intend to continue to review and manage these and other risks as they are identified.
The trustees consider the board of trustees (who are directors of the company for the purposes of company law) and the Director to comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and received no remuneration during the year (see note 9). The pay of senior staff is determined by The Church of England and is ratified by the trustees. Pay is reviewed annually and is normally increased in line with average earnings.
Trustee induction procedures are largely relational, whilst still providing necessary information and guidance. Once a potential trustee is identified by the Board, the Chairman arranges an informal meeting to discuss this opportunity. A second meeting with another trustee follows, as well as the provision of information produced by the Charity Commission about the role and duties of a trustee, a copy of the annual accounts, minutes of the past year's board meetings and copies of the Articles and Memorandum of Association. After meeting with CHM staff, the prospective trustee is invited to observe a board meeting before final decisions are taken.

THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Objectives and activities
The charity's object, and the company's principal activity, is to operate and develop a ministry of healing in the name of Jesus Christ.
It is the policy of the trustees to fulfil the objectives of the charity by:
-
a) Organising healing events;
-

-
c) Giving talks on all aspects of Christ's healing ministry;
-

The charity's activities deliver public benefit as they are open to everyone.
Achievements and performance
Prayer Ministry
CHM continued to offer prayer ministry free of charge to those in need, regardless of their faith background. This could be accessed online.
A weekly reflection and prayer in a group setting on Zoom had been well received and continued to prove popular.
A team of 14 Volunteers from various church backgrounds, supported the weekly sessions and took responsibility for the breakout rooms as facilitators.
Five of this team of volunteers have also written and led sessions over the year.
The online prayer request line had continued to be well used and supported by a large team of CHM intercessors.
Teaching and Training in the healing ministry
CHM’s online training course, Exploring Christian Healing, had continued to attract subscribers from all around the UK and abroad. This had been offered free to any interested individuals or churches so that everyone could have access to good quality teaching.
A new online training course, ‘ Exploring Encounter Prayer ’, had been added to the website for use by individuals or groups.
Other teaching material and worship resources are freely available online.
Networking and encouragement

THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Resources
A regular newsletter outlining events, resources and opportunities had been sent to all supporters.
The free daily devotionals supplied by John Ryeland had continued to be well received with regular positive feedback and sent out daily to many subscribers.
A free 2025 calendar was sent out to our supporters and available online.
Free material continued to be posted regularly throughout the year on email, Facebook and lnstagram.
Good governance
Quarterly Board meetings took place, with management accounts and reports presented at each meeting.
Policies and Risk Assessments were reviewed and updated annually.
Financial review
The trustees are satisfied that the charitable company has maintained a position from which it may actively pursue the objectives for which it was formed.
Although the charity has a relatively modest income stream from activities and donations, it has adequate investment reserves to draw upon if required, in the medium to longer term.
The charity’s level of expenditure remains sustainable. Although Donation income was lower than the previous year, investment income performed better than last year resulting in income of £92k (2023 - £70k).
The investments have performed better than the previous year despite numerous global factors affecting markets. The result is a reported loss on investments of £101k (2023 - £172k).
Investment policy
The trustees have established an investment policy whereby the unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets are invested by investment fund managers to provide income which will enable the company to pursue the principal activity set out above.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that those funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure. The trustees consider that the reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charitable company's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised and/or expenditure reduced. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year, an amount of £30k representing 6 months’ worth of expenditure.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of The Christian Healing Mission for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company 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 charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable
-
State where applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 charitable company will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees have complied with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in respect of Public Benefit.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. Accounting policies
Company Information
The Christian Healing Mission is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales, registration number 03877993, and a charity registered in England and Wales number 1080534. The registered office is International House, 142 Cromwell Road, London, England SW7 4EF.
1.1 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 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), section 1A of the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act 2006. No material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the trustees.
1.2 Income and endowments
Donations and any related tax recoverable are recorded on the date that the donation is received. Legacies are recorded when the charity is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount receivable is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt is reasonably certain. Dividend and interest income is recorded when its existence is notified to the charity by its bankers or investment managers.
1.3 Expenditure
All costs are recognised when the liability is incurred and can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Items of expenditure are allocated directly to charitable expenditure on ministry or support costs. The support costs relate solely to the ministry and teaching activity. There is no apportionment of costs. Governance costs include the independent examiner's fees, trustees' insurance and professional fees incurred for the purposes of governance.
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than the freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings 2% per annum on cost of buildings Plant and machinery 10% per annum on written down value Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% per annum on written down value
No depreciation is provided in respect of freehold land. Freehold land is estimated by the directors to comprise approximately 15% of the total cost of land and buildings.
1.5 Investments
Fixed asset investments take the form of a managed investment fund. The fund is stated at fair value at the balance sheet date. The fund has been placed in the hands of professional investment managers who undertake investment decisions on behalf of the trustees within agreed parameters.
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their fair value. Depreciation is not provided in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and FRS 102. This is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the trustees, compliance with the standards is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified.
10
THE CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments and investment properties are included in the statement of financial activities as "Net gains/(losses) on investments".
Investments are classified as current asset investments when it becomes certain that the investment will fall to be realised within a period of 12 months from the balance sheet date.
1.6 Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Stocks comprise printed material used in support of the ministry.
1.7 Pensions
The charitable company has operated a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions were charged in the accounts as they became payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
One employee was a member of a multi-employer defined benefit scheme where it was not possible to determine the appropriate share of the underlying assets and liabilities. The pension costs were accounted for on the basis of contributions actually payable to the scheme in the year. Agreed deficit recovery payments were recognised as a liability.
1.8 Accumulated funds
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
1.9 Donated assets and services
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the value of volunteer help is not included in the financial statements but is acknowledged in the annual report.
Donated assets are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions attached to the donation 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.
On receipt, donated assets are recognised as income 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 an asset of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised as an asset in the period of receipt.
1.10 Financial Instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as other debtors and creditors, which are measured at settlement value. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
