SOCIETY FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 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 Mission'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 charity's objects are to promote the Glory of God by advancing his Kingdom amongst the Irish people (with special concern for Roman Catholics), by spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in the Holy Scriptures and as expressed in keeping with the principles of the Reformation as expressed in the Articles of Religion in the Church of England and the Church of Ireland.

The activities that we undertake to achieve our objectives are twofold.

Firstly, we want to start new churches.

Ireland still needs the gospel faithfully proclaimed and lived out by God’s forgiven people. There could be nothing more exciting than planting the gospel to grow the church. This priority requires direct evangelism or missionary work with different people groups in Ireland. With the work focused on the Republic of Ireland, we engage directly with both ‘new’ Irish — those who have continued to arrive from overseas for work, study or asylum — and ‘indigenous’ Irish including third-level students at the major universities in Dublin along with young professionals and suburban families.

Currently in church membership with ICM we have three self-sustaining churches: Immanuel Church Dublin, City Church Dublin and Christ Church North Dublin. We also have two fledgling works: The Iranian Gospel Church Dublin and Dublin Bible Talks. The development, care and growth of these churches and ministries shape our first priority.

Secondly, we want to strengthen and support existing Anglican churches and ministries

This is achieved in multiple ways. We provide a consultancy platform for those exploring new ministries in Ireland and for those seeking to revitalize current churches. To this end we look at issues of doctrine or practice that may be challenging for leaders to implement in church leadership and pastoral care. From a growing body of first-hand knowledge and experience, we are happy to provide consultancy clinics for those exploring church planting in Ireland. We also discuss specific topics relating to mission and cultural engagement from a biblical perspective.

In addition to providing a consultancy service for church planting/revitalization, we also offer a catalyst opportunity. Essentially our existing ministries and churches are willing to provide a safe home to other nascent ministries and church planters for a period. This incubation allows for first-hand experience of starting and growing ministries; an essential skill when beginning a new church plant. At a suitable time, the incubating church planter can branch out from a position of strength to begin their new church plant.

Public benefit

When planning the activities of the charity the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission regarding public benefits in particular to the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

In the past year ICM continued to oversee two fledgling churches and ministries. The franian Gospel Church Dublin meets weekly in the ICM building providing opportunities for Farsi-speaking peoples to hear and explore the gospel in their own language. This ministry has also developed a considerable following on YouTube, allowing the teaching of the Bible to reach further afield than simply Ireland.

SOCIETY FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

The Dublin Bible Talks also continues each week with online zoom meetings. The intention of this ministry is firstly to reach a network of people (the business community) rather than seeking to be limited to one geographical area. It secondly is seeking to train, equip and encourage Christians in the workplace to engage meaningfully with their colleagues on matters of faith and Christian practice. Reverend Cameron Jones has also just begun a second ministry incubating with Christ Church North Dublin with the aim to planting a new church on the north side of Dublin in the next 3-5 years. The trustees have now communicated to Rev Cameron Jones their intention to support this ministry with grants totalling €30k over the next three financial years. This liability will be recognized in next year’s accounts.

ICM is also determined to provide the best possible support and encouragement for the leaders of its membership churches. Over the past year ICM has continued to provide systems and structures for these churches and their leadership in relation to safeguarding policies and procedures, complaints policies and a position paper on spiritual abuse and how to respond to it. ICM has also engaged training for volunteers in its member churches to maintain best practice when serving in children’s ministries and leading vulnerable adults. Along with this ICM conducted an audit of each of its membership churches in areas such as vision and values, financial planning and staffing needs. We do not want simply to start new churches but also to work towards the strengthening of healthy churches that can last for the long term. Towards this end ICM has recently encouraged each of its member churches and ministries to affiliate with the Anglican Network in Europe (ANiE), joining the diocese of the Anglican Convocation of Europe (ACE) and therefore availing of the episcopal oversight of Bishop Andy Lines.

We have also enjoyed partnership with Biblical Counselling UK through the work of Mrs E Lynch across a number of Dublin churches. The burgeoning Equipped to Care ministry has also enabled ICM member churches to be strengthened as their congregations are provided with biblical teaching on various relevant topics including anxiety and anger.

Investment performance

The performance of the charity's investments is regularly reviewed. During the year, the listed investments held by the charity generated income of £15,195 (2024 - £9,534). The market value of the investments decreased by £5,254 (2024 - increased by by £34,160). After withdrawals of capital, the closing value of investments was £586,694 which was an increase of £3,390 in the year (2024: reduction of £19,765). The trustees are broadly content with these figures.

Financial review

The accounts of the charity showa deficit on total funds of £79,208 (2024 - deficit of £165,180).

The deficit includes unrealised losses of £5,420 (2024 - unrealised gains of £34,160) and realised gains of £166 (2024 - realised losses of £6,623) on investment assets.

Excluding the investment movements there was a deficit for the year of £73,954 (2024 - £192,717).

Reserves policy

The Charities SORP defines unrestricted reserves as that part of a charity's income funds that is freely available. By definition therefore, reserves excludes both restricted funds and those which could only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets. As can be seen on the Balance Sheet, unrestricted funds amounted to £1,703,125. Taking the net book value of tangible fixed assets £972,803 from this figure leaves unrestricted reserves of £730,322 (2024 - £818,355).

Unrestricted reserves are needed:

ai? =

SOCIETY FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

The Board has set a reserves policy which requires that:

¢ Reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that ICM’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty;

¢ A proportion of reserves be maintained in a readily realisable form.

The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the Finance Committee’s planning and budgeting.

It takes into account:

¢ Risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted.

ICM is seeking to maintain and increase its unrestricted funds. The trustees believe that it is prudent to maintain Qmonths’ worth of budgeted expenditure from unrestricted funds in a readily realisable form (i.e. cash or cash equivalents), but will seek to generate income on reserves surplus to this.

Based on the above factors, the trustees estimate the required level of unrestricted reserves to be £192,500 as at the Balance Sheet date. Unrestricted reserves (excluding tangible fixed assets) are currently above that range and the trustees will be seeking to maintain this.

During the year ICM has also continued to place greater emphasis on its fundraising efforts and retained the services of a Fundraising Consultancy provider for part of the financial year. The Christmas Appeal raised £25,180 and the St. Patrick’s Day Appeal raised £1,353.

Investment policy

The performance of the charity’s investments is regularly reviewed. During the year, the listed investments held by the charity generated income of £15,195 (2024 - £9,534). The market value of the investments dropped by £5,420 (2024 — increased by £34,160). After withdrawals of capital, the closing value of investments was £586,694 which was a rise of £3,390 in the year (2024 — reduction of £19,765). The trustees are actively seeking to increase fundraising so that the charity does not need to rely on drawing down its investment assets to maintain operations. The management of the charity’s investment funds is delegated to professional investment managers. As none of these funds are permanently endowed, the trustees’ investment policy is to aim for safe long-term growth commensurate with planned spending needs from time to time.

Excluding the investment movements there was a deficit for the year of £73,954 (2024 — deficit of £192,717).

Major risks

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Mission is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The Trustees maintain a register of risks which is reviewed and updated periodically to assist further in the risk management process.

Plans for future periods

ICM is continuing to explore the possibility of a refurbishment of our city centre premises, to enable the building we occupy to be more fit for the variety of purposes our ministry demands.

In the next year we will also seek to offer our consultancy services to a growing number of new church planters and established ministries. We are expecting to provide catalyst opportunities for at least two new works, one based from Immanuel Church Dublin and the other from Christ Church North Dublin. We are also continuing to seek to appoint a young disciples coordinator who can oversee a work of training those directly involved in raising up the next generation of church leaders.

To accomplish such projects and ministries, we are continuing to explore a variety fundraising initiatives. ICM would like to prioritize growing its supporters base to enlist more prayerful engagement. From a growing supporters base we would like to challenge supporters to become financial donors to these ministries and projects. We are seeking to improve our communications both by post but more importantly via social media and online communication to gain this new interest. In addition, over the next year we are planning several supporter events when existing supporting churches and individuals can join staff of the ICM team for in-person discussions and for prayer.

ICM continues to co-operate with the outworking of the redress scheme following the Historical Inquiry into Abuse in Institutions in Northern Ireland. This is outlined further in the notes to the accounts.

Relationship with wider network

Linked charity

Some years ago the charity was granted title to substantial funds known as the Stannus Funds. On 30 November 2006, the Charity Commission in England & Wales sealed a Scheme whereby Irish Church Missions was formally appointed the trustee to administer The Stannus Fund. The objects ofthe latter were also broadened in the Scheme ‘to relieve the needs of and advance education of children and young people in Ireland up to the age of 31 in the Christian Faith’, as amended and approved by the Charity Commission in February 2017. This kind of missionary work has already been carried out by ICM in both the North and the South for some years, and the fund has now been completely expended.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

SOCIETY FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Company information

Society For Irish Church Missions is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Chantry House, 22 Upperton Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 1BF. The charity operates from 28 Bachelors Walk, Dublin, Ireland, D01 P4V6.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Mission's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Mission is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Mission. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment assets to fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Mission has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Mission has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Mission has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

-13-

SOCIETY FOR IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 15% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Assets are capitalised if they are anticipated to be in use for more than 12 months and cost more than £1,500.

1.7 Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Mission. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Programme related investments

Following the transfer out of the City Church Dublin activities and assets to a separate charity, there remains a balance of £158,823 (2024 £182,259) owing to Irish Church Missions for the remaining cost of the property transferred over. Aloan agreement is in place with City Church. The loan was subject to an initial 1% interest charge. As this arrangement forms part (and a continuation) of the charity's Church planting goals, this has been treated as a programme related investment in accordance with the Charity SORP. The trustees have elected to include this balance ona historic cost basis.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.10 Financial instruments

The Mission has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Mission's balance sheet when the Mission becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Mission’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Mission is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Contributions into Defined Contribution pension schemes are charged as an expense when they fall due.

eee

In the application of the Mission’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Following the transfer out of the City Church Dublin activities and assets to a seperate charity, there remains a balance of £158,823 (2024: £182,259) owing to Irish Church Missions for the remaining cost of the property transferred over. A loan agreement is in place with City Church. The loan was subject to an initial 1% interest charge. As this arrangement forms part (and a continuation) of the charity's Church planting goals, this has been treated as a programme related investment in accordance with the Charity SORP. The trustees have elected to include this balance on a historic cost basis. The adjustment in the year represents a currency exchange difference on the closing balance as the loan is denominated in Euros.

At the end of the comparative period, a review of this loan transaction was undertaken and adjustments were considered necessary, to incorporate in the full contributions made from City Church Dublin funds both at the inception of the transaction and when it became a separate charity. An adjustment of £122,301 was made to correct the loan balance as shown as an expense in the comparative figures in Note 7.

24 Financial commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities

ICM continues to cooperate fully with the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIAI) in Northem Ireland, under the parameters set out in the recommendations of the Hart Report, and more recently the proposals of The Executive Office's (TEO’s) appointed independent facilitator regarding the nature of a fair and proportionate contribution.

After five years, the scheme closed in April 2025. The final contribution under the redress scheme is still to be mutually determined. There are various factors that impact this decision. They include: the assurance that any such contribution should allow for the continuation of the frontline services being provided by the charity; the impact that all previous and current civil cases may have on the capacity of the charity to make such a contribution; and the structure that any such payment might take.

This year ICM has been made aware that in addition to the three civil cases it has already serviced, a further case has been brought against the charity. ICM is currently under the guidance of legal counsel and the case remains ongoing, with no available estimate yet as to what the financial outgoings might be.

We have continued to maintain open and transparent correspondence with TEO and those appointed to administer the compensation payments of the redress board. With their recommendations we are endeavouring to make progress on all these matters.
