Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
During 2023, we continued to be involved with culturally-relevant films and social media products in various local languages of the region. As well as high quality cartoons for children (a frequent request from local friends) we continued to produce material that tackled difficult and challenging societal issues (e.g. domestic violence and trafficking).
Kairos maintains good working relationships with a variety of local, skilled professionals in various countries within Central Asia. We depend highly upon and greatly value their contribution at all stages. Similarly, in the UK, we rely entirely on the services of qualified professionals, each of whom has considerable experience living and working in Central Asia. They donate their time to the charity free-of-charge, which enables the vast majority of funds to be used directly on projects in the region, with minimal administrative overheads. Kairos continued to practise modest advocacy for the needs of Christian and other minority groups in the region.. Given that more than half of the population of Central Asia is under the age of 25, the Trust has continued to emphasise the production of media particularly suitable for children and youth. Feedback has shown us that some of our material continues to be used for language teaching in schools.
During this year we have opened up our library of materials to a traditionally ‘hidden’ segment of the audience, namely those who are deaf. Subtitling is infrequently used – often the level of literacy is such that it is hard for people to read quickly enough. To this end, we have produced ‘parallel versions’ of many of our materials with the addition of a signer. The programmes are signed in standard Russian sign language. This opens up access to the programmes to those with hearing loss across the entire Russian speaking world.
We have continued to provide a training role for young people in media production skills, albeit on a smaller scale than last year. In Central Asia, young people are desperate to learn skills that could equip them to better support their families.
We have seen again that 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, continues to grow.
We provided small grants to church leaders and their wives to attend major conferences in a secure and relaxing environment. For many leaders, such conferences provide the only annual break they may experience. Often their churches are too small to provide a salary and so many leaders have more than one job.
Kairos maintains a high commitment to issues that particularly affect women in the region. Domestic violence, trafficking and exploitation are all too common and Churches need to learn how better to address these issues within their communities. The film “Mahabbat” (a Kairos production from within the region) is being welcomed as a good way to raise the issues and develop strategies. We are continuing to dub this into many languages, including those outside the Central Asian countries.
We have now dubbed this film into over 12 languages – a number which is set to increase.

## **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:
- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
