OC INTERNATIONAL UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 September 2022.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The charity's objects are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with its Statement of Beliefs and to fulfil 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.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

.

The board has analysed its activities and the moneys it has spent and believes there is public benefit in each geographical area where resources are applied. The follawing paragraphs indicate the results of the analysis. Areas of activity undertaken or supported by the charity include training and capacity building, providing pastoral care, partnership development, research and the provision of written or recorded resource materials. Geographically, the charity has work in Austria, Spain and the United Kingdom. The charity gives small grants of various sizes to Alliance partners in Colombia, Italy and the United States. In all areas, local Alliance workers are training and building capacity among leaders, whose communities and churches are better led to cope with varying circumstances including economic hardship, local persecution, or historical negative attitudes to minority communities. In every instance, the wider local community will benefit from the positive impact of the Christian church or community.

Achievements and performance

Activities were seriously limited during this financial year because of the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. The Board had to postpone its fourth ‘Encouragement for Leaders’ retreat Conference. This was re-scheduled for the following financial year.

Our Treasurer and his wife have again been involved in UK ministry as they continued to include mentoring young Christian individuals, couples and parents in their 20s and 30s. They have seen a flow of visitors to their home, hosting and ministering to many needing a break from stressful situations (including workers serving refugees and immigrants out of Ukraine and North Africa. Also, we've welcomed a few One Challenge 2nd generation young adults.

The Christian Motorcyclists Association has continued to revive from pandemic limitations. The annual national rally was held in person at The Quinta, an OM facility NW of Shrewsbury. It welcomed many from all over the country, as well as a few from Belgium, France, and Ireland. Our OC Treasurer has continued as treasurer on the leadership team of the local Sussex branch. We've met as a branch monthly, had a successful church visit in Thakeham, as well as another full Sunday manning an outreach display at the biggest annual biker event on the shores of Brighton.

OC INTERNATIONAL UK TRUSTEES' REPORT

The workers in Austria have had a very challenging year with regards to their health and that of their family, plus the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. It wasn’t until the later part of this reporting year that the couple were able to get back into their ministry. The couple started to return to church services and counselling. Their plans include hosting and leading a new house group from their church, meeting face to face (with masks!) with those they have been mentoring and hosting. A couple based in the UK as leaders of a local Arabic Church had a challenging but exciting year. They are thankful for two face to face events that took place in the church despite different challenges and opposition. They made encouraging new connections with FIEC leaders. The couple were able to celebrate Christmas and the New Year despite various restrictions.

We have seen a great need and demand to train on biblical counselling as how to help people care within the church context. They have seen the growth within the women that attend the fortnightly zoom meetings. They are from different backgrounds and different countries! It is beautiful to see them thrive as they lead in turns and really discover their potential and capabilities unlocked as the step forward. It was very encouraging to have with us the FIEC responsible and his wife for our region.

An Egyptian minister came again for few days and we were able to do some special visits and share the good news. We learnt so much from his insights and wisdom. We have been able to participate at different zoom meetings. It was a wonderful time at the OC Europe retreat in Genoa getting to know some brothers and sisters and sharing together.

July was very special in hosting many pastors and workers who have the Kingdom at heart. The church had many gatherings especially Sudanese coming from different parts of England for reunion. Also, many visits were very fruitful and encouraging as some people started to come back to church. It was great to see some youth attending and aiso being involved. It has been a privilege to be able to host workers and ministers for them to have a rest.

The charity ceased to rent the offices as there are no longer the requirements for their usage.

In all of the above activities it is clear that all the work undertaken, whether in other countries or in the UK, has benefited many people of all ages, both the UK and around various countries.

OC UK are part of the Global Alliance of One Challenge. This has 15 Mobilisation Centres around the world and OC UK has participated in Zoom bi-monthly calls during the year in partnership with like-minded people.

The OC UK has also participated in a monthly online call with its European partners. This is for friendship, encouragement and fellowship.

The Board will continue to ensure that its work provides public benefit both in the UK and in other countries.

OC INTERNATIONAL UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

1 Charity status

,

,

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the Trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

OC International UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

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.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 9

OC INTERNATIONAL UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

Donations and legacies

.

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the contro! of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Gift aid

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grant provisions

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payabie.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

OC INTERNATIONAL UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
