Objectives and activities

To advance the Christian religion through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all its fullness. And to reach out in particular by means of Printed matter, revival meetings, Crusades and through audio & video materials containing inspiring messages.

Performance

As we reflect on our charitable activity, it's clear that our dedicated mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ remains steadfast. Our vision to advance Christian religion continues to guide our efforts, and we're proud of the progress we've made.

At the heart of our work is our theme "Praying for the World". This has driven our initiatives in 202324, as we strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those around us.

On the ground, we've seen significant growth in our prayer support services. In fact, we offer 24hrs hours of continuous telephone prayer support. A testament to our volunteers' tireless efforts. Our public worship services have also seen an increase in attendance, with people gathering for prayer and fellowship.

One area where we've seen significant interest is in our prayer call services. In the past year alone, our volunteer Prayer intercessors have answered around 9,000 calls from individuals across all walks of life. A testament to the impact we're having and the need for continued prayer support.

Our digital services continue to be a vital channel for reaching people. We are also been delighted by the response to our daily and monthly prayer video updates. These videos, which feature inspirational messages and personal stories of faith, have seen significant interest and engagement. Our monthly themed videos have garnered over 10,000 views each.

Finally, our monthly digital magazine service started in 2017 continues to thrive. Our social media engagement has also seen a significant increase.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF JESUS CALLS EUROPE

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st ] May 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees you 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 2011Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

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 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 statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

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

  1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

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

JESUS CALLS EUROPE

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st ] MAY 2024

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 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 accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted income funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to the spending restrictions imposed by the fund provider.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognized when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity 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 charity 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.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability recognition – Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance costs

Includes costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

8

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

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

1.7 Financial instruments

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.

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.
