Commission on public benefit.| 1 **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|The charity uses a small proportion of the
financial donations it receives to provide
direct monetary assistance to help those
individuals in Armenia living in extreme
need. Primarily, this is to help with medical
costs, house rents and utility bills. The
majority of the remaining total funds
allocated to the provision of help are used to
purchase items such as food, personal
hygiene supplies, and fuel for heating. The
charity does not provide grants to other
organisations.| |Policy on social investment
including program related
investment|Para 1.38|Not applicable| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|All activities relating to sending aid
containers from the UK to Armenia are done
by volunteers in the UK. These include
checking, sorting, itemising and packing
donated goods. During 2022, two forty foot
containers of humanitarian aid, with an
estimated value of £253,000, were donated
and sent to Armenia from the UK.| |Other||| 2 ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Poverty relief in the country of Armenia:
a) The provision of food parcels (bought
in Armenia) to destitute families with
young children, and elderly people
with no income, on a regular as well
as a one-off basis. Approximately
120-150 families per month have
been helped in this way during the
current year. This includes some
refugee families and families of
wounded soldiers who were affected
by the Nagorno-Karabakh war in
autumn 2020.
b) The provision of medical assistance
including paying for a number of
minor operations for individuals. This
has included assistance to provide
cancer treatment. The charity also
supplied medicines on a regular and
one-off basis.
c) Provision of winter fuel, including
wood and contribution to electric
bills, to some families. In total,
around 50 families were helped in
this way during the winter period.
d) Contributions towards house rent for
a number of families and individuals
living in desperate conditions.
e) Two 40 foot container loads of
humanitarian aid have been sent
from the UK and distributed in
Armenia – including new and
second-hand clothes, bedding,
shoes, toiletries, toys, mobility
equipment and furniture.
f) School bags (with contents) were
provided to underprivileged children
in two villages in Armenia.
Christian training and work among children
and young people in Armenia:
a) Approximately 400 children attended
summer camps provided by the
charity in Armenia, held at the
charity’s camp facility outside of
Yerevan. The children attend the
camps free of charge, many of them
coming from poor or destitute
families.
b) The charity continued to print and
distribute free of charge Christian
books and booklets. Armenian
‘Words of Life’ calendars, provided
by Trinitarian Bible Society were also
distributed.| 3 |**Additional information (optional)**

objectives set|Para 1.41|The charity’s objectives are to provide relief,
medical help and other life preserving
necessities to as many people as possible
within its sphere of operations and its
financial mean, after the provision of
reserves (see section on reserves). The
trustees are satisfied that the charity has
successfully achieved these objectives over
the last twelve months.| |Performance of fundraising

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The latest financial statements of the charity
are to the 31stDecember 2022. The charity’s
income has grown for the fifth year running,
by the end of 2022, was £307k, an increase
of 6.6% compared to the previous year. The
net assets of the charity at the end of the
year also reflected the increase in income
with a rise to £596k, with cash at bank of
£329k. This is the fourth year running that
the charity has become financially stronger
than in the previous year. The financial
strength of the charity has meant that it has
been able to maintain, and in fact increase,
the level of support to Armenia even with
increasing costs (e.g. transport) and the
dramatic weakening of the Pound sterling to
the Armenian Dram by 30% at the start of
2022.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The trustees endeavour to ensure that the
charity has a cash reserve to cover general
running costs and provide financial support,
to those it has committed to help, for a
number of months. A variety of trigger levels
are employed to indicate when the charity’s
finances are approaching the reserve level.
In addition, the charity keeps in reserve an
amount of money to act as a deposit to
purchase warehouse in the UK to process
and store humanitarian aid goods. During
the current year, the trustee looked at
potential properties but nothing suitable was
found.
Given the turbulent world we live in, our
reserves provide the ability to react quickly
with the provision of our services where it is
needed most in ever changing operating
conditions. Given that the current unrest in
Armenia could trigger an increased aid
requirement, the trustees regard it as
important to hold modest levels of reserves
to preserve our responsiveness.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£175,000| |Reasons for holding zero

adopted for the induction and
training of trustees|Para 1.51|Working proportionately, the charity does not
have a specific policy for the selection and
induction of trustees. The absence of a
policy does not mean there is not due
process. In practice, when a trustee position
comes up, trustees have historically been
selected from those who have volunteered
for the charity in the past or are well known
to the trustees. As such, previous incoming
trustees have not required detailed
induction. The trustees continue to review
this process and will implement a policy if
the current process becomes insufficient.| |---|---|---| |The charity’s organisational

parties|Para 1.51|The charity conducts a number of its
activities through its partner in Armenia,
Shoghik Non-Governmental Organisation.
This relationship enables the charity to
achieve some of its objectives in Armenia
which it would not otherwise be able to do.
To ensure accountability to the charity, a
number of the charity’s trustees maintain
regular direct involvement in the day to day
activities of Shoghik NGO and one of the
charity’s trustees is on its trust board.
The primary areas in which this relationship
is necessary are:

Shoghik NGO is the official recipient
of containers of aid that are sent from
the UK to Armenia, and is
accountable to the Armenian
authorities for the distribution of the
goods.

Children’s camps are administered
and coordinated by Shoghik NGO.

The local workers in Armenia who
carry out the tasks on behalf of the
charity, are employees of Shoghik
and support to them is channelled
through Shoghik.| |Other||| ## **Reference and Administrative details** |Charityname|Armenian Ministries| |---|---| |Other name the charity uses|| |Registered charity number|1082371| |Charity’s principal address|78 Sherwood Drive
