Objectives and activities (continued)
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Objectives and activities
World Outreach was founded in 1932 by Dr Len Jones, a man deeply committed to evangelism, with a radical personal faith and a depth of the vision of God in his heart that few in his time understood.
The founding roots of World Outreach were in helping refugees affected by the communist uprising in Russia and Eastern Europe. Dr Jones taught and inspired Christians worldwide to catch hold of God's vision and tenaciously to forge forward to achieve these goals. He championed a lifestyle of complete faith in a mighty God who could be trusted to achieve the impossible.
That visionary, apostolic leadership exemplified in one man, remains the driving force that has impacted countless lives and fuels the fire for mission in World Outreach even today, over 85 years later. While scores of passionate and dedicated mission personnel have come and gone over the years, today the same visionary spirit is represented in the hundreds of personnel who are presently serving with the organisation with Ministry involvement in over 60 nations.
When World Outreach was founded in 1932, it worked first only in Europe under the name 'Russian and Eastern European Mission'. With the fall of the iron curtain, it changed its name to 'Slavic Mission', concentrating efforts on displaced Slavic peoples worldwide. The mission next expanded into Asia as the 'Slavic and Oriental Mission', and in 1968 finally changed its name into 'World Outreach'.
The World Outreach UK Trust was founded in March 1969 in Dorchester, Dorset and application made to the Charity Commission for England and Wales for recognition as a charitable Trust, with the stated objectives being:
- The advancement of the Christian Faith.
The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship, or distress, or who are aged or sick.
In planning its activities, the charity has kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and also has the following objectives in pursuit of the public benefit:
To propagate by all means and avenues possible, throughout the world, the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
To send missionaries.
-
To employ workers in different countries where the society is and will operate.
-
To establish orphanages and care for orphans.
-
To establish bible schools and any other projects considered necessary for the promotion of the
-
gospel.
To advance the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ by the promotion of radio, television and literature projects, and by the production of books, tracts, magazines, and other such literature, tape recordings, records, films, radio and television programmes.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Objectives and activities (continued)
To respond to the 21st century, on 18th July 2003 World Outreach was incorporated as a Company (4837413), limited by guarantee, and re-registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (1101264) with the objective of demonstrating Christian faith in action through:
-
The advancement of the Christian faith
-
The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress, or who are aged or sick.
In practice this encompasses all the objectives of the founder and the 1969 Trust.
With the mandate "touching lives, changing nations", World Outreach exists to impact least-reached people groups with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission vision is accomplished through establishing strategic partnerships with the Church worldwide in order to engage in transformational discipleship among least-reached peoples.
With our experience in pioneering cross-cultural missions, World Outreach is able to strategically challenge, guide and partner with Churches worldwide, advancing the understanding and fulfilment of God's plan, purpose and will in the pursuit of world evangelisation. To maintain this dynamic role of spearheading the extension of God's kingdom both now and in the future, we combine desperate reliance on God with carefully planned strategies, effective partnerships with believers worldwide, and strategic deployment of resources. Our continuously growing "family support network" provides guidance, direction, accountability and care to our staff as well as our global partners. World Outreach remains committed to its original founding ethos of facilitating the training, placement and support of fieldworkers, truly called of God, in voluntary partnership to achieve God's plan and purpose.
World Outreach maintained an administrative office in Reading from September 2003 until a move to Market Harborough in October 2009. The office returned to Reading in June 2012 and moved to Chester in June 2013. However a London forwarding address, initiated in August 2012, now allows the office to operate from any location within the UK, with a fixed London address for supporters to write to. In parallel, VOIP technology provides a fixed London telephone number for the office wherever it is located geographically. Supporters mail their gifts, or give via standing order, and all gifts are receipted and designations recorded. Precisely-tailored computer systems provide a very tight control on and provide total visibility of finances.
All administrative expenses are met from unallocated or general funds, and each month all designated funds are either remitted to the World Outreach International office to be passed on to missionaries and projects, or are remitted directly to the missionary recipient in the UK. Each month all missionaries receive a complete email statement of the gifts that they have received.
Nations magazine, now mailed out 3 times a year, continues to be provided free of charge to supporters. Numbers of supporters have now opted to view their copy of Nations electronically, but it is not yet known how effective this is in informing supporters about the work of World Outreach. Website www.world-outreach.com carries mission news and information for how to get involved as well as give financially to the work of the mission.

Achievements and performance
Development
Development work has been slow again this year in light of the pandemic and the slow process of coming out of the restrictions here in the UK. Alongside this, the World Outreach Development Director during this year instructed the trustees of his intention to hand over the role to someone new. Therefore, from the end of 2021 his role will be mainly to train and mentor a new person within the role throughout 2022. The trust advertised the role throughout its networks but no person came forward for the role. The trust is reviewing this process and approach and will continue to seek the right candidate throughout 2022.
Relationship with Global Connections has continued especially with the plans to do more University Mission Roadshows whereby World Outreach can seek to raise the profile and find potential future mission partners. These are ideally face to face but will more likely be held online via Zoom links.
Two new mission partners from the UK joined World Outreach both to serve in Indonesia. One is on an internship and went out during this year. The other person is finishing some studies but has raised support throughout 2021 and intends to undergo some cross-cultural training with WO and then go to the field during 2022.
World Outreach International arranged a virtual summit which is a conference gathering mission partners and personnel together for encouragement. Here in the UK an event was put on in London whereby UK personnel and supporters could gather together to enjoy the conference and have time together. This may be part of future gatherings too.
The trust transitioned to a new accounting and reporting system throughout 2021. The two packages now used are Xero for accounting and reporting and Infoodle for gift aid and other reporting tools. The transition proved to be fairly smooth with occasional tweaks needed as the process went on. Throughout the transition we had great help and support from Nockels Gee Accountants Ltd. and are very grateful for this support.
Finally
The Trustees will continue to work with the current Development Director (as well as the incoming Development Director once in post) to enhance the relevancy and effectiveness of the Trust in communicating with Church leaders and supporters, and to meet other Trust objectives. The Trustees are encouraged by the increasing interest of UK supporters in world-wide mission, which shows a new emphasis in the UK and Europe. World Outreach projects (of which there are many in different countries) continue to be known for relevance and integrity, and for providing opportunities for supporters to become involved through prayer, through financial support and particularly through direct participation.

Financial review
Ongoing funding from committed supporters of World Outreach in the UK means that over the course of the year the financial position of the Trust remains strong with operating costs controlled by reserve funds alongside sufficient income. Given the continuance of this level of committed support the Trustees are of the view that the charity's financial position is satisfactory and the assets are adequate to meet the obligations of the charity for the foreseeable future.
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the charity has the power to invest or deposit in any lawful manner. Any investment can only be made after obtaining advice from a financial expert, and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification. The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of the charity and to the reserves policy have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest bearing deposit account.
In common with trends in investment returns affecting all charities, the invested funds held on deposit achieved a poor average interest rate during the year ended 31st December 2021, although the Trustees actively pursue the best returns commensurate with a risk-averse approach to investment.
Reserves policy
The total reserves at 31 December 2021 were £99,757 (2020 - £135,697), which are made up entirely of unrestricted funds of the charity. Restricted funds were fully expended in this and the previous year.
The level of reserves are monitored and reviewed by the Trustees twice a year. After careful assessment of the level of continuing need, the Trustees have agreed that reserves should cover the full operating costs (exclusive of grants payable) of the Trust for at least 24 months. The policy has been met in the year ended 31 December 2021, and the Trustees are continuing to monitor the situation carefully.
Principal funding sources
The charity is funded primarily by individual givers in the form of regular donations, one-off gifts and legacies.
Risk Management
All significant activities undertaken are subject to a risk review as part of initial project assessment and implementation. Major risks are identified and ranked in terms of their potential impact and likelihood.
Major risks, for this purpose, are those that may have a significant effect on:
-
Operational risks - e.g. service quality and development, contract pricing, employment issues; health
-
and safety issues; fraud and misappropriation
-
Financial risks - e.g. accuracy and timeliness of financial information, adequacy of reserves and
-
cash flow, diversity of income sources, investment management
-
Governance risks - e.g. conflicts of interest between trustees and parties related to the charity
-
External risks - e.g. public perception of our aims and objectives, meeting expectation, adverse
-
publicity, demographic changes, government policy
-
Compliance with law and regulation - e.g. breach of Trust law, employment law, and regulatory
-
requirements of gift aid, etc.

Financial review (continued)
The Trustees review these risks on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified. The following framework is central to ensuring adequate risk assurance:
-
Regular monitoring of major risks and development of action plans
-
Embedding risk identification and assessment within operating procedures;
-
A clear structure of authority and control
-
Continuing review of key systems and procedures
-
Maintaining reserves in line with set policies
-
Regular summary reports on financial progress and risk to the Trustee Board.
In assessing risk the Trustees recognise that some areas of work require the acceptance and management of risk if key objectives are to be achieved.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document and membership

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WORLD OUTREACH
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of World Outreach ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the charity’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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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
-
the financial statements 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).

3. Accounting policies
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
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.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
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.
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 in respect of investments held is recognised in the period in which it is received.
-
income in respect of tax recoverable relates to gift aid and is recognised at the point at which the corresponding donation is received.
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, noncharitable 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.
Volunteers
The charity benefits from the services of volunteers, who spend many hours assisting the charity. The trustees are in the opinion that the volunteer services are not reasonably quantifiable.

Herald of His Coming: Monies received for this purpose are received specifically for translation and publishing of the Christian Newspaper 'Herald Of His Coming' in twenty different languages. By agreement, administrative costs of this are funded by a transfer to general funds. Effective from 31 December 2021, the Trustees have agreed with Herald International that the collecting of funds by World Outreach for Herald International should be discontinued. All monies due at this date have now been paid to Herald International.
Missionary Support: Much of the money given by donors is specifically for the support of one of the many missionaries supported by World Outreach International. These funds are paid direct to the missionaries or paid to World Outreach International Inc, a charity incorporated in Singapore, which provides direct support for the relevant missionaries. By agreement, a portion of any gift aid claimed on these funds is used to cover the administrative costs of the charity.
