Activities and Achievements

Activities and achievements of the charity during the year in relation to the objects:

The financial results are set out on pages 1 through 2 above.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future objectives. The objects of the charity are the advancement of religion, education and the relief of poverty. East West Ministries is a UK-based Christian missions agency working relationally with national church leaders in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, growing from a foundation established by Ron Hibbert in 1972. The charity receives funding from individuals and churches within the UK and USA to help financially support these national church leaders as part of missionary and outreach work.

The charity has no specific reserves policy in place. The unrestricted funds represents a small percentage of donations to cover the administration costs of the charity which are clearly laid in the Income and Expenditure report. Restricted funds are identified by the donor as specific funds for a beneficiary. The charity keeps a record of all funds received to ensure there is clear traceability from funder to beneficiary and ensuring the restricted funds are distributed in accordance with the funder's intentions.

Despite the ongoing geopolitical events,we have been able to maintain our support to our core missionaries, churches and national workers, thanks to the faithfulness of our supporters. Donations this year have decreased by £9,003, this was caused by significant one-off donations received in the previous year. The charity has a core base of regular support; during this financial period there were one-off missional gifts paid due to donations received at the end of the previous financial year.
