## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT)**
**YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
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 2022.
## **Objectives and activities**
In planning the charity’s activities the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
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 objectives:
- 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.
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.

## **Objectives and activities** _**(continued)**_
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 restricted 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.
## **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.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
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.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Development**
A significant development this year has been the appointment of a new UK Country Director. Having sought a person from outside of the organisation, but to no avail, the WOUK board approached board member Jon Hitchen about taking over the role from David Adams. After a brief time of consideration Jon Hitchen decided to take the role and was ‘commissioned’ at the board meeting in May 2022. Alongside this, board member Sam Rebbettes agreed to take over some of the day to day office administration tasks from Jon Hitchen, therefore releasing Jon to focus on development work within the UK.
The handover to Sam Rebbettes has taken time due to complications with WOUK’s bank getting Sam set up so he can administer the account. This has restricted some of the handover and therefore Jon has had to continue some of the office role.
At the board meeting in May 2022 a strategy meeting was held as part of the meeting. Bruce Hill’s the World Outreach International Director facilitated this discussion and it was agreed that the main outcome of WOUK’s development work would be that _‘more people in the UK know who World Outreach is and what they do’._
In September our new mission partner flew out to Indonesia to start work there. This has mainly been an orientation exercise and has been useful in liaising with other World Outreach personnel as part of the transition. A big part of the time has been learning the new language.
A new activity in 2022 was the attendance at Keswick Convention in July. Jon Hitchen attended this and had a stall for one week. The week went well although most people had not heard of World Outreach. Useful contacts were made and Jon was able to give a brief presentation on World Outreach. This work in attending conferences is expected to increase with the board supporting the Country Director in identifying other conferences to attend. Also, the development work continued, as with the previous Development Director, in seeking to speak with pastors and church leaders about the work of World Outreach although due to time and having to do aspects of the UK office administration this has hindered the Country Director.
World Outreach International appointed a new International Development Director who is tasked with supporting Country Office Directors in the different World Outreach offices around the world. Resources have been developed and regular meetings held over Zoom to encourage and create a sense of togetherness. This has been a strength and will prove helpful in moving forwards with raising the profile of World Outreach in the UK.

**TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT)** _**(continued)**_
## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **Financial review**
## **Principal funding sources**
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 2022, although the Trustees actively pursue the best returns commensurate with a risk-averse approach to investment.
## **Reserves policy**
The total reserves at 31 December 2022 were £89,828 (2021 - £99,757), which are made up entirely of unrestricted funds of the charity (2021 - unrestricted funds of £99,757).
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 of the Trust for at least 24 months. The policy has been met in the year ended 31 December 2022, and the Trustees are continuing to monitor the situation carefully.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing document and membership**
World Outreach is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18th July 2003. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The company currently has 6 trustee members, each of whom promises to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up.

The Trust cooperates closely with World Outreach International based in Singapore to whom workers on the field directly relate.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WORLD OUTREACH**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of World Outreach ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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).
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.

- 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.

**Herald of His Coming:** Monies received for this purpose were received specifically for translation and publishing of the Christian Newspaper ‘Herald of His Coming’ in twenty different languages. By agreement, administrative costs of this were funded by a transfer to general funds. World Outreach discontinued support for the publication in April 2022.
**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 Inc. These funds are paid direct to the missionaries, or are 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.
