Directors' / Trustees Report Through the Roof Charitable Trust FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th September 2022

By God’s grace the Trustees are pleased to present the report and accounts for Through the Roof for the year ended 30[th] September 2022.

Donations

This year the charity has benefitted from a generous donation of a residential property to the value of £175,000 which is to generate income for future activities and is an asset that cannot be liquidated.

Structure, Governance and Management

The company was incorporated on 18 April 2001, is registered as a charity, and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Through the Roof is a Christian disability charity working in the UK and internationally. The charity’s name comes from the Bible account where four friends help their paralysed friend to meet Jesus. Since 1997 Through the Roof has sought to influence church and act as a catalyst for change, conveying a prophetic message to church and society where disabled people are valued equally, and enabled to belong and contribute.

There are currently eight members of the Board of Trustees which meets quarterly to administer the Charity. The Trustees are also the Directors of the company for charity purposes. Trustees have a range of experience and skills in Accountancy, Business, Disability, Education, Health, IT, Law, Ordained Ministry, Christian Mission, and the Charitable Sector.

There is a breadth of diversity amongst the Trustees, who all attend a variety of different evangelical churches, and agree with the Evangelical Alliance’s Basis of faith. 25% have personal lived experience of disability, 37% are female, and 12% are of a Black Caribbean ethnic background.

A Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations on a full-time basis along with a part-time Operations Manager. Seven further part-time staff were employed, which, at the Year-End equates to 5.9 Full-Time-Equivalent members of staff. They are supported by 87 faithful, skilled, and servant-hearted volunteers across its programme areas, including two regular office volunteers at the administration base in Morden, south London, and nine at our wheelchair storage warehouse in Aldershot. Many volunteers have personal experience of disability.

Through the Roof is an Affiliate of US ministry, Joni and Friends (JAF), a member of the Evangelical Alliance (EA), and Global Connections (GC) and a founder member of the Churches for All (CFA) network of Christian disability organisations.

Appointment and Induction of Trustees

Appointment of the Directors is governed by the Articles of Association of the Company. The Board of Directors is authorised to appoint new Directors according to the agreed guidelines for the appointment of new trustees. New trustees receive a copy of the latest annual report and accounts, the Strategic Plan, and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet ‘The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know.’ Trustees are required to agree and adhere to the charity’s statement of faith.

There was one new appointment to the Board of Trustees during the year – Sally Whitney.

Related Parties

Through the Roof is sole owner of DCF Ltd, the trading subsidiary which runs the holiday programme.

Property

The charity’s administration base is in a self-contained, accessible, ground floor office in Morden, south London, of approximately 500 square feet, within the three-storey building leased by Christian charity, Ascension Trust. Additionally, we rent 2,000 square feet of warehouse storage space for our wheelchair programme, in Aldershot, Hampshire.

Aims and Objectives

The objects of Through the Roof Charitable Trust are:

(a) to advance the Christian faith particularly amongst persons with physical and other disabilities in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association in the United Kingdom and elsewhere as the directors of the Charity may from time-to-time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Charity.

(b) to relieve and assist persons with physical and other disabilities and in doing so to promote the integration and participation of such persons in church life in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and to promote an awareness of the needs of such persons and appropriate responses to those needs amongst churches and Christians in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and to train Christians in ways of serving and helping persons with disabilities in the United Kingdom and elsewhere as the directors may from time to time think fit.

The company commenced its activities on 1 October 2001 when it received assets, less current liabilities from the unincorporated charity “JAF Ministries (Through the Roof)” (Charity No 1061010) and took over the work of that Charity.

Strategic Plan

Trustees continued work on the charity’s 3-year Strategic Plan which was launched during 2022. The highlights are as follows:

Vision, mission, values, USP and outcomes

Our values, vision and mission are all informed by the Bible account from which the charity gets its name and so we see these principles as underpinning and guiding the work.

Through the Roof is the only UK charity whose sole purpose is to work globally with churches and people across the range of disabilities to extend God’s kingdom.

Through the Roof’s five values are:

Christ-centred
Transforming
Belonging
Interdependent
Enabling

Our vision is “a world where all people enjoy life together, mutually giving and receiving, as God intended”.

Our mission is ‘Transforming lives through Jesus with disabled people.’

The two strategic aims are:

Providing life-changing opportunities for disabled people
Equipping the Christian community to ensure disabled people can belong and contribute

Arising from our values are seven key outcomes to focus all our work activities and bring about the following positive changes:

Discipleship – Everyone we connect with growing in Christian faith.

Summary of Main Activities and Achievements during the year

The coronavirus pandemic

The start of this financial year saw the charity enter its 25th year of operation. We planned to mark this milestone with some celebratory 25th Anniversary events. However, many coronavirus restrictions were still in place in the first part of the year, and we faced a state of continued uncertainty over the feasibility of holding in-person events and activities. Thankfully we were able to hold events both in-person and online in the latter part of the year.

International travel restrictions hampered the return of our mission trips, which took longer to resume than had originally been anticipated and budgeted. Even when people were allowed to gather together indoors with others outside their family ‘bubble’, we found that people were more cautious about meeting together. These factors resulted in fewer activities taking place in the first half of the year and therefore, expenditure and income being lower than budgeted.

Public Benefit

The charity’s activities are provided for the benefit and empowerment of disabled people and those affected by disability. Additionally, our work benefits and equips those working with, living with, or seeking to work with disabled people, to ensure the greater inclusion of disabled people in church and community life in the UK and developing countries.

The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

The charity delivers three main programme areas for the public benefit, and these are focussed on Faith (Churches Inc), Fellowship (Disabled Christians Fellowship), and Freedom (Wheels for the World), with details of each, as follows:

Faith (Churches Inc & Roofbreakers)

This programme provides training and resources to equip churches, and the Christian community to include disabled people more fully in church and community life, both in the UK and developing countries. The following are some activity highlights from during the year:

34% increase in Roofbreakers (Disability Champions) – 134 signed-up to our project during the year (523 in total) to be advocates for disabled people in their own church.
Initiated several new Area Networks to support Roofbreakers, geographically e.g., Cardiff; and/or thematically i.e., Deaf Ministry.

Initiated online ‘welcome’ sessions for newly signed-up Roofbreakers.

Provided around 50 copies of two specific online resources to our Roofbreakers: Removing Barriers and a Disability Toolkit bringing the total number of downloads to 120 and 156 respectively.
Delivered 5 online Roofbreaker events with inspiring disabled presenters and opportunities for discussion with others to equip, encourage and enable them in their role.
Delivered a two-hour online Roofbreaker training course to 56 people in 3 churches to enable change.
Encouraged churches to hold a Disability Awareness Sunday service during September, resulting in 200 churches downloading our resource materials and requesting 2500 leaflets to distribute to their congregations.
Recorded several video interviews of the stories and experiences of disabled people to populate the charity’s You Tube channel and produced a video for our 25th Anniversary celebration events.
Produced monthly Roofbreaker e-news.
Continued to grow the Roofbreaker concept internationally as new people signed up from various developing nations.

Fellowship (Disabled Christians Fellowship)

This programme provides Christian support, encouragement, and opportunities for fellowship for disabled Christians in the United Kingdom. We were also pleased to provide a supported group holiday for disabled people through our wholly owned trading subsidiary in the name of DCF Ltd. The following are some activity highlights from during the year:

Support and encouragement to 9 autonomous DCF groups (approx. 300 people involved).
Provided an online fellowship opportunity to disabled people in isolating circumstances called ‘The Lounge’.
Provided pastoral support by phone and email for disabled people living in isolation.
Through our wholly owned trading subsidiary (DCF Ltd) we organised a Christian supported group activity holiday – offering fellowship, activities, and spiritual refreshment to disabled people.

Freedom (Wheels for the World)

This overseas programme of Through the Roof demonstrates the love of God in a practical way by restoring and distributing refurbished wheelchairs, which would otherwise go to landfill or be scrapped, to disabled people in developing countries, giving them increased mobility and independence. This is done based on need. The following are some activity highlights from during the year:

Four team-members (3 in the UK and 1 in Uganda) provided wheelchairs, plus other mobility equipment and medical expertise, to 195 disabled people, along with 200 Bibles. Worked with in-country partners, Kumi Community Foundation, in Kumi, Uganda.
Eight UK team-members provided wheelchairs, plus standing frames, walking frames, crutches, and other mobility equipment, to 182 disabled people, along with 200 Bibles. Worked with in-country partners, RILD in Jinja, Uganda.
Twenty-three team-members (8 in the UK and 15 in Mozambique) provided wheelchairs, plus other mobility equipment and medical expertise, to 200 disabled people, along with 200 solarpowered audio Bibles, as part of our ‘Supported Wheelchair Distribution’ concept. UK teammembers supported in-country partners, Helping Hands in the Mocuba region of Mozambique.
Provided 47 wheelchairs, plus mobility equipment, to our Partner, Volodomyr Kostyshyn of Grace Baptist Church in Ternopil, Western Ukraine
7 committed volunteers refurbished the wheelchairs on a mostly weekly basis at the charity’s wheelchair storage warehouse in Aldershot.
Providing one UK partner with wheelchairs destined for South Africa.
Continued to save approx. 50 wheelchairs a month from landfill by receiving disused wheelchairs from NHS partners.

Support activities

Distributed our free newsletter to approx. 4,400 contacts three times in the year to inspire supporters with stories of the work, as well as the opportunity to donate and get further involved
• 10% increase in the charity’s Facebook fan-base – 2024 in total – encouraging greater discussion and engagement with the charity.
Appointed a Communications Officer – a new role to the charity, to amplify the message and impact of Through the Roof.
Initiated a new strategic role to co-ordinate, communicate and celebrate volunteering.
Disabled people represented the charity to give a Christian perspective of disability in live and pre-recorded radio interviews on Premier Christian Radio, UCB and TWR Radio stations.
The charity was represented in exhibitions at Christian Festivals, Spring Harvest and Creation Fest.
Chief Executive Officer represented the charity at several online events including the Evangelical Alliance Disability Roundtable; and an international conference run by ASNA.

Future Developments

General

Funding application submitted for significant three-year grant which, if successful, would help the charity to make a step change in capacity, reach, impact and spiritual growth to benefit many more people and communities.
Consolidate the charity’s growth and ensure the increased resources in communications, fundraising and volunteering will strengthen the charity’s infrastructure and profile.

Faith

Subject to a successful funding application we plan to ‘ramp up our Roofbreaker’ project through employing regional staff across the UK.
Increase number of Roofbreakers and support existing ones.

Freedom

Develop the support we provide to regular partners to empower them and build up their mission and ministry to disabled people

Fellowship

Develop the vision and offer of our Holidays, Retreats, and pastoral support programme.

Financial Review

Total income for the year increased from £317,171 at the previous Year-End to £431,285. The value of a property that was very kindly donated anonymously during the year accounts for £175,000 of this amount. Total expenditure increased from £228,335 at 2020/21 Year-End to £278,483 as Covid restrictions eased

which allowed charitable activities to return to near previous levels. The overall balance, including unrealised investment gains of £18,992, was a surplus of £171,794.

Trustees are anticipating a significant deficit at the end of 2022/23 financial year due mainly to investing some of its reserves in expenditure on staffing to grow the charity. However, trustees have no reason to believe that Through the Roof will not continue to be able to meet its objectives for the coming year and operate as a going concern. Trustees acknowledge their on-going dependence on God as the source and provider of sufficient resources.

Investments

The level of investments and their location are reviewed at least annually or when any significant income is received.

Payments to Trustees

There were no remunerative payments to Trustees. Only expenses incurred by Trustees related to attending board meetings were reimbursed upon the production of receipts, or appropriate documentation of travel.

Reserves

To protect the charity against uncertainty over future income or potential emergency expenditure, the Board has set a policy of keeping three months’ operating funds in reserves.

Trust funding

The charity was successfully awarded grants from several Trust Funds including Dame Violet Wills Charitable Trust and the Marsh Charitable Trust. Trustees are very thankful for their support.

Intangible Income

We are extremely grateful for the generosity of several organizations who supported us in many ways during the past financial year, including:

Several NHS Trusts, Oxfordshire Wheelchair Services in particular, and suppliers of unusable wheelchairs, and other mobility aids, without which the Wheels programme would not be possible.

On a day-to-day basis the work of Through the Roof could not be provided without the support of volunteers working in the UK and taking part in mission trips abroad. Below is a table showing the number of volunteers and hours worked in relation to the various aspects of the charity, and their total worth.

Directors' / Trustees Report - continued Through the Roof Charitable Trust FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th September 2022

Risk management

The trustees review their assessment of the major risks to which the charity is exposed on a regular basis. Procedures and systems are reviewed at least annually to mitigate these risks. During the year work has

been done on reviewing all Through the Roof’s Policies and identifying any areas needing attention. This has been reflected in the Charity’s Risk Register.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with general applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (United Kingdom General 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 financial activities of the charity and of its financial position at the end of that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

(a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
(b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
(c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
(d) State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
(e) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

As far as the trustees are aware:

There is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware; and
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

For the financial year in question the company was entitled to exemption under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Thanks

I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their support, commitment, time, expertise, and prayer. I would also like to thank all our excellent staff, volunteers and advocates and generous donors for their significant support. Without them there would be no TTR.

This is our 25[th] year. It is good to celebrate God’s love and goodness. Many thousands have been touched by God as a result of our ministry. Change has been continuing this year. We are back to some face-toface activities - blending them with the virtual. Having exceeded our target of 400 Roofbreakers, we are embarking on an initiative to reach many more churches and expand our networks. God continues to give us fresh exciting opportunities. We are looking forward to more Wheels and overseas teams in the coming year but recognise the value of the supported distributions.

This has been such a year of both celebration and change, that I would particularly like to thank staff, volunteers, donors and trustees for their flexibility and enthusiasm. A big thank you to Tim Wood for leading the charity so sensitively and successfully through this change period. All have contributed, by God's grace, to another very fruitful year. Let us follow Jesus as He leads us through these exciting times.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF Through the Roof Charitable Trust FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th September 2022

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30th September 2022 set out on pages 9 to 17

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

In the opinion of the Trustees, the charity and its trading subsidiary comprise a small group. The charity has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption conferred by paragraph 383 (c) (as referred to by paragraph 408) of the SORP 2005 not to prepare group accounts, on the grounds that the results of the joint venture are not material to the group.

Details regarding the activities of the trading subsidiary are adequately disclosed in note 12 the accounts.

ii) Income

Donations are accounted for on an as received basis. The voluntary income is received from a variety of donors and is given for the general work of the charity. The related tax credit on donations received is accounted for on an accruals basis once the donation has been received. Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. Legacies are recognised when there is deemed to be sufficient certainty as to the amount and timing of receipt.

iii) Resources expended

Charitable expenditure comprises all expenditure directly relating to the objects of the charity, and is included when incurred. Costs are allocated across the four main charitable activities according to the relevant use of financial and staff resources. Directly attributable costs are allocated directly to the charitable activity heading whereas staff costs and support costs are allocated on a basis relating to the use of staff resources.

Gifts are included when approved by the Directors.

The charity is not registered for VAT and as such irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Support costs are allocated on the basis of the weighted proportion of staff salary costs across the four main areas of charitable activity and restricted funds of the charity, this being deemed the most appropriate and equitable apportionment. Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

iv) Fixed assets

Equipment acquisitions have been capitalised only on items over £1,000 and depreciation provided to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The annual depreciation rates and methods used are as follows:-

Furniture & equipment 25% on straight line basis

v) Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which they are paid.

vi) Unrestricted funds

The general fund represents funds that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for general purposes.

vii) Designated funds

Funds shown as designated for a particular purpose are also unrestricted.

viii) Restricted funds

The restricted income of the charity relates to funds on which the donors have placed a restriction and may only be used for the purposes specified.

17 Donations in Kind

We are extremely grateful for the generosity of several organizations who supported us in many ways during the past financial year, including:

Several NHS Trusts, Oxfordshire Wheelchair Services in particular, and suppliers of unusable wheelchairs, and other mobility aids, without which the Wheels programme would not be possible.

In addition, a very generous anonymous donor gifted the charity a residential leasehold flat for the purposes of providing a regular source of capital income. This gift has been recognised at market value in the accounts under donations (note 2).
