## **CORE ACTIVITIES**
## **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 which is now being run on a yearly basis due to high demand. 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 take the form of larger “Converge Huddles” that meet online around specific leadership contexts for resourcing, encouragement and problem solving, and smaller, “Connect Huddles” where smaller leadership groups can gather to support, encourage and pray for one another
## **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 & ADVOCATES**
Skylark Ambassadors are leaders who represent and embody our vision and values across a variety of different contexts, denominations and spheres of influence. Skylark Advocates involves organisations and individuals who are effecting change on justice issues from grassroots to policy-making levels, within our 5 focus areas of Alleviating Poverty, Adoption and Fostering, Racial Equality, Women and Girls, and Mental and Emotional Health.
## **MENTORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT**
Skylark International provides ongoing leadership development and mentorship for those heading up churches, charities 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.
## **MISSION**
Skylark International supports various charities and missional organisations working into the UK and abroad.
## **FAMILY CONNECT**
Skylark International continues Family Connect to support and encourage children, young people and families across our network and beyond in their ongoing relationship with Jesus, and to empower and equip kids and youth workers, parents and carers to nurture faith across generations.
## **BESPOKE**
The Bespoke Women’s ministry exists to see every woman inspired, informed and invested so they can step out and change the story for others. The Bespoke Conversations videocast, highlighting topics affecting women and girls locally and across the world, has finished its first season. The first Bespoke Collective, looking to bring women together from across the network for investment and envisioning, is due to happen in June and the Bespoke Community will look to start later this year, journeying more intentionally with a small group of women to discover their passions and callings.
## **AUTHENTIC**
Authentic Men’s Ministry is committed to raising up a generation of strong, godly men forming authentic relationships and transforming local communities. We gather yearly as men in the Lake District to encourage one another, and meet for Authentic Conversations where we hear ordinary stories of unsung heroes making change, and talk honestly and frankly about situations we all face. The Authentic Conversations website is now up and running, distributing resources to allow Authentic Conversations to happen throughout the network and beyond in smaller groups to encourage deeper conversations and friendships between men.

## **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 £25,325 (note 13), which is considered adequate. The directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2025**
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Over the course of this coming year, Skylark International will continue to equip and support the churches, charities, ambassadors and advocates across our network as they positively impact and transform their communities and cities.
Skylark International will continue to plant new churches and missional communities, develop fresh ministries and events, as well as resource and support churches, ministries and individuals locally and globally. We will continue to provide covering, connection and resourcing for charities and will look to tailor some of our training to specific leadership remits and spheres.
This coming year we look to continue to grow the Authentic and Bespoke Ministries, the Bespoke Collective is planned for June and looks to be a sell-out event, as well as the formation of Bespoke and Authentic Communities, where women and men respectively can come together, enrich and empower one another and effect lasting change within the world.
We will continue to expand to add new churches, charities and ambassadors 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 2025**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2025 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.

## **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:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
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.
