SALVATION FOR THE NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CHURCHES
DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's governing documents, the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019).
The charity's administrative details can be found on the Legal and Administrative page at the front of these financial statements.
Objectives and activities
a. To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of belief in the United Kingdom or the World as the Directors may from time to time think fit and to fulfil other such purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the Law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the company.
b. To relieve persons who are in need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the United Kingdom or the World as the Directors may from time to time think fit.
Achievements and performance
The charity is in its 19th year and continues to go from strength to strength. The annual Awake conference was another great success and has become the platform for improving/introducing improvements to many ministry departments. The conference runs seven days and nights, catering to adults, teens, and kids. Besides this main conference, the charity hosts two evening midweek meetings, attracting more than 1,000 weekly attendees. The charity continues with the two services (one on a Sunday morning and the other on a Wednesday evening). The regular weekly kids and youth ministry programmes, as well as the Mums Connect (community hub for Mothers and toddlers), have continued to grow to the point where there is insufficient space within the present building to accommodate the numbers. Various forms of improvisation have been deployed in the short and long term to help resolve this positive issue.
The food ministry provides approximately 250 to 300 individuals/families weekly with food hampers. Along with donated food hampers, the charity provides a once-monthly donated clothing stall for children and their careers; many families from the community continue to benefit from these essential ministries.
The charity also hosted a 3-course community Christmas dinner on Christmas day for 100 individuals and families within the community, enabling many people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis to benefit from this special lunch.
The RBI Bible College continues to provide a 3-year degree in Ministry programme. It has broadened the course to include part-time students now online and those who attend for two days and carry out online studies for the other days, facilitating additional students to study this course. The London International Bible College, an online bachelor’s and master’s degree in theology, enables students from within the UK and many other nations to receive this fully sponsored college without relocating.
The internal alteration undertaken during the fiscal year has significantly increased the capacity of the main auditorium.

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial review
The charity continues to grow numerically and financially and, as a result, requires recruiting additional staff to serve its ongoing needs. There has also been a significant increase in the various online and social media platforms due to the concerted focus on growing and investing in this previously limited platform. The charity now receives donations from the local congregation and online membership across the UK and other nations. The charity received a considerable donation from a specific congregation member for which the trustees and senior pastor are particularly grateful.
Apparent risks identified
The increase in the incidence of vandalism on commercial properties within similar postcodes to the charity’s headquarters has necessitated the installation of security cameras at the permitter of the building. In addition, there is a need to increase space capacity to accommodate the ever-increasing number of oversubscribed children and various mid-week activities. The trustees and the senior pastors will be giving this their attention in the following financial year.
Looking forward to 2023/24
There is an immediate recruitment need for an additional full-time youth/young adult pastor to satisfy the demands of this crucial area of ministry. Investing in a new internal soft play area and a youth zone is required as part of the growth strategy for young families and children. The charity is also looking to begin several connect/ interest groups catering for various areas of interest/needs. These will include groups to help and support people recovering from an addiction, single adults’ social groups, parents of children with needs, scrapbook-making groups, etc. These will provide additional support and connectivity as the size of the congregation continues to grow.
Structure, governance and management
The following were directors for the purposes of company law, and trustees for the purposes of charity law, during the year and since the year end:

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Statement of Directors responsibilities
The directors (who are also trustees of Salvation for the Nations International Churches for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities’ Statement of Recommended Practice;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the directors are aware:
-
there is no relevant independent examination information of which the company’s independent examiner is unaware; and
-
the directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant independent examination information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the current Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities and in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to smaller entities.
The Directors report was approved by the Board of Directors.

SALVATION FOR THE NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CHURCHES
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE DIRECTORS OF SALVATION FOR THE NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CHURCHES
I report to the Directors on my examination of the financial statements of Salvation for the Nations International Churches (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Directors of the charity (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 financial statements of the charity 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 financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of , which is one of the listed bodies.
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 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 financial statements to be reached.
I draw attention to note 8 which explains the trustees’ decision to not disclose remuneration paid to key management or other individuals. This constitutes a departure from the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities issued on 16 July 2014.
Use of my report
This report is made solely to the Board, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Board those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Board, for my independent examination or for this report.

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.4 Income
Income (i.e. grants, gifts and donations) is accounted for when it is more than likely to be received and when the amount can be measured reliably, together with the tax recoverable on gift aid receipts, which is accounted for in the same period as the gift to which it relates. Income which is specifically stated to be in respect of expenditure to be incurred in a future period is shown as deferred income.
Rental income and interest receivable are accounted for on the accruals basis.
The market value of gifts in kind, including the provision of facilities at no charge or at reduced cost, is estimated by the directors and when material this value is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities, with a corresponding amount included in the relevant expenditure heading.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT, which cannot be recovered.
The charitable company's operating costs include staff costs, rent and other related costs. Such costs are allocated to expenditure in respect of charitable activities. Other costs have been examined in detail and allocated to appropriate cost headings.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Leasehold land and buildings | 2% |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 15-25% |
| Computers | 15-25% |
| Motor vehicles | 33% |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Individual items of equipment or furniture are capitalised when the purchase price is £1,000 or more. During the year some of the depreciation rates and residual values were reviewed and adjusted. This adjustment includes depreciating the leasehold property and motor vehicles on the basis that they would have a residual value at the end of their useful life.
Freehold Land is not depreciated.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charitable company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

This includes the disclosure of any individual employee's remuneration irrespective of their role within the charity.
