Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

To advance a wider knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith, and Christian moral values, particularly, but not exclusively, by way of the production and distribution of Christian media (TV programmes, DVDs, Internet material).

The Trustees are aware of the need to demonstrate public benefit and in every area of our activity can confirm with confidence that this is happening. The Trustees confirm that they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and insofar as they are appropriate, to accounting standard FRS102. We raise funds to facilitate wide-scale distribution of culturally suitable media content which aims to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of all, irrespective of religious or ethnic affiliations. We prioritise the provision of resources for vulnerable women and children in Central Asia. Additionally, we facilitate the free distribution of all our materials in various languages for communities in Central Asia. We assist local Church and community leaders in their use of the electronic media to present relevant guidance and inspiration to their communities. We commission local producers to make specific programmes relevant to social issues in Central Asia, especially in the areas of domestic violence, forced prostitution and other significant needs. We fulfil a modest advocacy role in Britain for the needs of Christian and other minority groups in the region. We oversee training projects to equip local people in media production skills particularly within the “free-to-air” context. The trustees occasionally make discretionary grants to agencies helping people recover from the effects of domestic violence or exploitation.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Kairos Media Trust relies entirely on the services of qualified professionals, each of whom has considerable experience living and working in the region, and who donate their time to the charity free-of-charge. This enables the vast majority of funds to be used directly in region, with minimal administrative overheads.

2020 was, of course, the year of the pandemic. The Trust had just completed a training week in Turkey when the presence of Covid in the country was confirmed. Lockdowns followed swiftly, in Central Asia as well as in the UK. We were initially very concerned that this would stall our work in the region.

Despite the enormity of the developing situation, the Trust was able to maintain its dubbing work during the year, albeit at a slightly reduced capacity. Additional series of programmes for children were completed and released. We established additional local distribution avenues featuring the streaming video services widely accessed in the region. We have continued to receive positive feedback from parents and youth workers on the quality and value of our materials.

In addition, we raised sufficient additional funds to enable the Trust to make grants to local humanitarian NGOs. This enabled the distribution of food and clothes to many single mothers: those who are usually most vulnerable to the economic hardships resulting from the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.

It remains our conviction that our culturally sensitive religious materials are helping to contribute to a greater awareness and tolerance of differing religious communities. This positive effect is always welcome where radicalisation, especially among young people is manifestly increasing.

Despite the constraints resulting from UK lockdowns, the Trust continued to fulfil a modest advocacy role for the needs of Christian and other minority groups in its countries of operation.

As in previous years, we made additional grants to local Church leaders to enable them to attend a major networking event designed to facilitate their continuing leadership development.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/ Charity Name members of

On accounts for the year ended

Charity no (if any)

Set out on pages

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year responsibilities of (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act),as amended by s.28 trustees and examiner of the Charities Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended),

• to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended), and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other examiner's statement than that disclosed below *)

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:

2. proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and

3. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

5. Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
