C. THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM OR IN SUCH OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD AS THE TRUSTEES MAY FROM TIME TO TIME THINK FIT. During the 2020/2021 Tax Year our trustees decided to make a substantial contribution towards the rebuilding of a new hall in the campus of the church we have supported over many years in Lebedyn in eastern Ukraine. This was made through a generous donation from two of the trustees and restricted for this purpose. Our objective is the advance of the Christian faith. This is expressed particularly with the youth and children within the hinterland of Lebedyn and the county of Sumy. Excess of 80% are unemployed in the region which brings much social and economic poverty with all ages. Many children are abandoned into the 20+ orphanages in the area and there is a growing problem with **Summary of the main** youth living rough on the street. This building will double as a community **activities undertaken for the** church teaching building and a sports indoor centre where activities will **public benefit in relation to** be held as well as food provided. The winters are severe in eastern **these objects (include within** Ukraine and community activity is at a minimum because of the lack of **this section the statutory** finance. We anticipate that this new project will help to address this. **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** The grant made to Essential Christian’s ‘Hope Lebedyn’ ministry by our **issued by the Charity** trust initially purchased $100,000 and this has encouraged a further grant **Commission on public** from a Christian businessman in the locality plus others through Hope **benefit)** Lebedyn. Matthew Twenty-Five Forty Trust have made a further but smaller top up grant which will show in the 2021/22 accounts, which means the building is now complete and operational. As a small trust we still continue to support other works as the need is shown to us including the ongoing support of missionaries based in Malawi. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 N/A You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Please refer to the summary provided in Section C March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity maintains sufficient reserves to meet anticipated outgoings for at least a 12 month period.
