## **SKYLARK INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** 

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022** 

The directors present their report and accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **OBJECTS** 

- a) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of belief appearing in the schedule hereto in such parts of the United Kingdom and the World as the trustees may from time to time think fit and 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 further Christian education in such parts of the United Kingdom and the World as the trustees may from time to time think fit. 

- c) to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick or to relieve distress caused thereby in such parts of the United Kingdom and the World as the trustees may from time to time think fit. 

Skylark International Community (formerly Christian Growth International) is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association since incorporating on 17th February 2003 and was administered by a Board of Directors over the year, as listed on page 1. 

## **AIMS** 

To empower, equip and support the Skylark International churches and ministries, as well as the wider cities and communities they serve, making them a healthier place to live spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. 

To plant churches and develop new ministries, events and projects in line with our charitable objectives. 

To provide assistance, training, tools and resources to churches, individuals, organisations and ministries. 

To support and invest into leaders so that they might positively shape and enrich their sphere of influence both locally and globally. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**

## **SKYLARK INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022** 

## **CORE ACTIVITIES** 

## **CONFERENCES & EVENTS** 

Skylark International holds an annual women’s conference, Be, which is attended by approximately 400 women from across the country (see page 3 for more details). We also hold a conference called “More” every other year, which is designed to equip and empower individuals across our churches, ministries and volunteer teams to receive input and training, as well as access to inspirational teaching and valuable resources. This year both conferences were moved to an online format due to COVID restrictions.  This proved a very positive experience for all involved and enabled a wider sphere of uptake. 

## **LEADERSHIP TRAINING & SUPPORT** 

Across the calendar year, Skylark International hosts several day events designed to equip, resource and support those in senior leadership and their core teams. We also hold a 48-hour leadership retreat exclusively for Senior Leaders every year. This is a strategic time away for church, charity and ministry leaders to receive training, encouragement and peer mentorship. 

## **HUDDLES** 

Skylark International continues to run its leadership development forum called “Huddles”.  These bi-monthly ‘Zoom’ gatherings include a short 10 minute TED-style talk followed by deliberate discussion and andragogy around specific themes.  They have been invaluable for forging relationships and developing peer-learning within the network. 

## **CHURCH PLANTING/ CHARITIES** 

Skylark International provides support, resources, assistance and covering for new church plants and charities - as well as providing a relational network and covering for existing churches and charities. 

## **PRAYER CONNECT** 

Skylark International encourages an active network of prayer which helps bring cohesion to the network. 

## **SKYLARK AMBASSADORS** 

Skylark Ambassadors are leaders who represent and embody our vision and values across a variety of different contexts, denominations and spheres of influence. Through mutual relationship, we encourage, support and resource our ambassadors in their leadership context, while being equally enriched and strengthened by the unique skills and experience they bring into the network. 

## **MENTORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT** 

Skylark International provides ongoing leadership development and mentorship for those heading up churches and ministries. 

## **RELATIONSHIP AND RESOURCING** 

Skylark International provides relationship and resources to church leaders, ministry & charity leaders as well as leaders in the marketplace, to better equip them in their roles and responsibilities. 

## **BE** 

BE is a ministry to and for women and has had a main conference and other events attended by women in local churches, and beyond, together with women from all backgrounds with the vision of empowering women to be all that God intended them to be.  Be Albania has now been running for 4 years - bringing leadership training and encouragement to Albanian women.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The directors aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. Free unrestricted reserves at the year-end amounted to £42,280 (note 13), which is considered adequate. The directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Over the course of this coming year, Skylark International will continue to equip and support the ministries, churches, charities and individuals across our network to positively transform and impact their communities and cities. 

Skylark International will also continue its focus on leadership development. We will resource, connect and support leaders and individuals through training days, events, conferences , huddles and a bi-annual retreat. Skylark International will also continue to develop new ideas and initiatives for training and resourcing leaders. 

Skylark International will continue to plant churches, develop fresh ministries and events and resource and provide assistance for churches, ministries and individuals both locally and globally. We will continue to provide a place of covering, connection and resourcing for charities - both locally and internationally.  Specifically, we are in conversation with 2 ambassadors, 2 businesses and 4 charities who are looking to become part of the Skylark International Community. 

## **RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The directors have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **Small Company Provisions** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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.

## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## _Support Costs_ 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity costs categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity.  These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a reducing balance over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows: 

|Equipment|25%|
|---|---|
|Vehicles|25%|



## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
