Structure, governance and management (continued)

Organisational structure

The names of the trustees and other legal information are shown on page 1 of these accounts. The trustees were appointed by the existing Trustees, being persons who are suitably experienced, well known to them and are of proven integrity and financial ability, and who are wholly in sympathy with the objects of the Trust. Trustees are kept up to date with changes that are required by Charity Law with the engagement of external consultants and advisors. The trustees are responsible for:

• The appointment of new trustees, being persons who are well known to them and are of proven integrity and financial ability, and who are wholly in sympathy with the objects of the Trust.

• Approving any new ventures.

• Any remuneration of key personnel is reviewed by the trustees and any approvals are agreed upon without connected individuals being present.

• Approving any significant donation from the charity.

The day-to-day responsibilities have been delegated to Stephen Chaudhary who is in regular contact with the management of the children's home and Aaron Chaudhary.

Trustees Training

The Trustees are experienced having served on the board for many years-several since this charity was established as well as on the board of other charities. They have had no specific training with this charity but keep up to date with Trustee's role and responsibilities under Charity Law.

Public benefit

The charity Trustees have complied with their duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The Charity's activities are for the public benefit in that grants payable are made to works which eradicate poverty and ignorance. Payments are also made to support ministries of those who preach and teach the gospel, and who make no charge for their services and assisted by public subscription are enabled to minister.

Risks

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks. The principle risks facing the charity are in the following categories:

• Governance risks

• Financial risks

• Law and regulation compliance

These risks are mitigated in the following ways:

• Appointment of experienced and diversely skilled individuals to the Board of Trustees

• Trustee approval for significant financial decisions

• Engagement of external consultants to advise on significant issues.

Related parties

Three of the Trustees (A. Chaudhary, M. Taplin and W. O'Leary) are also on the Board of Trustees of The David Chaudhary Ministries Fund (Registered Charity 326436).

Governance and internal control

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks. Detailed returns are required from the Children's Home; annual visits are made to the Home to verify that it is properly run and that the condition of the building is of an acceptable standard, and that funds sent to the local charity are been correctly used.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

Objectives and activities

During the period under review the children's home had successfully emerged from the global pandemic. Although the Indian government had mandated the temporary closure of all children's homes, the efforts of the staff to remain in contact with all of the children during this time by visiting the families and communities, was rewarded with many of the children returning as soon as they were able to, and interest was generated in local families to send their children to the school. There was a sense of of excitement at the level of interest and the staff felt that all their efforts were being rewarded.

Travel restrictions were lifted meaning that during October and November 2022 Stephen Chaudhary (trustee) with his wife Lesley and nephew Isaac were able to visit the home, this was the first visit in three years. These annual visits had always been a highlight for everyone at the home-and this one even more so due to the long absence. The visits are full of activity including reunions with those who have grown up in the home and now have their own families, ministries, jobs, and careers-all due to the advantage they had received by being in the home. It is difficult to imagine how dramatically different the lives of each of these former students would have been had they not received the care and support, encouragement and investment from the children's home.

The visits are also an opportunity to provide new clothing for the children and special shopping trips are organised; this is something that most of the children are unfamiliar with and so it is an exciting occasion for them. In addition there are special meals organised by the staff, and performances in song and drama by the children.

There are varying amounts of business that is seen to, such as meetings with the local Hope Foundation board to discuss the business of running the home, staff requirements, investments in equipment for the school, and to assess what maintenance work needs to be carried out. At the time of this report there were 14 staff employed at the Childrens Home this charity supports, working as teachers, auxiliary workers fulfilling roles such as classroom assistant, cook, general assistant, watchman, driver, and management. There are three individuals on the management team who have been working with us since the very beginning, including one female who began as one of the children we cared for.

There are also days when we receive visits from local pastors and widows being supported. One such pastor from the local town serves as pastor to the children's home.

Achievements and performance

There is an emphasis by the government to promote government run schools, however the children's home and school has a good reputation in the local community and is looked upon with favour by the local community and surrounding areas. It runs five classes of lower and upper kindergarten aged children. The pupils are a combination of the younger children from the home and the majority come from the local village. The classes are well attended, the children are disciplined and well behaved. The teaching is of a good standard with an emphasis on English speaking.

The children's home and the school mostly provides employment for local people. Two of the ladies on staff were former residents of the children's home, and this is especially satisfying.

In the year to 31st March 2024 the costs of running the children's home and the school were £30,633 (2023 - £22,091).

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

Financial review

The charity's income is made up of donations received from individuals along with the Gift Aid tax recovered on those donations, as well as rental income received from property investments. During the year income totalled £71,242 (2023 - £60,649). The charity's total expenditure for the year was £50,206 (2023 - £45,575). Most of this expenditure was supporting the work of The David Chaudhary Ministries Children's Home in India, as well as grants to other charitable organisations. At the end of the financial year the charity has £1,152,225 in unrestricted reserves.

Reserves

Reserves at 31st March 2024 were £1,152,225. In view of the need to provide security of accommodation, education and maintenance of the children from infancy to departure into further education it is intended to maintain reserves at the level needed to cover support and running costs for 15 years. A capital fund was set up to maintain those reserves, which is represented by investments valued at £839,000.

Investment powers, policy and performance

A proportion of funds is maintained on deposit, but the majority of the investments, valued at £839,000, consists of freehold property let residentially in the UK.

Grant making policy

The Charity, at their discretion and in accordance with their objectives makes grants to trusted individuals and organisations whose purpose aligns with those of the charity. During this period such grants were made in support of missionaries to the Philippines. These were for £600.

Plans for future periods

Our mission and goals for the future remain consistent with our objectives, i.e. to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to provide financial support for the children's home in Gajjaram, India and other children's homes the trustees may wish to support, and to provide education for the children's home and assist those involved in Christian ministry with the provision of children's and young people's education.

Year ended 31 March 2024

Trustees responsibility statement

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice (UK GAAP)).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

The financial information included with this report was provided for the accountants to be independently examined on 20th January 2025.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 10 April 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The David Chaudhary Ministries Children's Home Trust

Year ended 31 March 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The David Chaudhary Ministries Children's Home Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is PO Box 65, Newton Aycliffe, DL5 7YR.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

12

The David Chaudhary Ministries Children's Home Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property - 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Motor vehicles - 20% straight line

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Investment property

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

13

The David Chaudhary Ministries Children's Home Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets (continued)

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments which are initially recognised at transactional value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
