Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Kairos has maintained 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 of the production process.
During 2024, we continued to be involved with culturally-relevant films and social media products in various local languages of the region and beyond. 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).
Our volunteers continued to practise modest advocacy for the needs of Christian and other minority groups in the region..
We have continued to tailor our material for the needs of the deaf community. 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 has opened up access to the programmes to those with hearing loss across the entire Russian speaking world.
Our religious materials have been selected on the basis of their cultural suitability, and are helping to raise awareness of, and tolerance towards religious minorities within the region. The spiritual and moral values of our material are welcomed among people who are anxious about the effect of radicalisation among their children.
The related issues of domestic abuse of women and children, slavery and trafficking strongly inform our strategy as we move forward. The film “Mahabbat” (our own production) is being welcomed as a good way to raise the issues and develop strategies. We continue to dub this into other languages, including those outside the Central Asian countries.
During the year we have developed several small but effective ‘Social Media Ministry’ (SMM) projects which have increased awareness and distribution of our materials. They have also fostered a willingness for online discussion about the issues raised.
We have continued to support and promote the ‘Arise!’ ministry among women leaders from Central Asia and beyond. We were successful in raising sponsorship to enable more regional women to attend the conferences.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** Charity Name **members of** ~~a~~ **On accounts for the year Charity no ended (if any)** ~~Pe~~ **Set out on pages** (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) ~~pO~~ **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.
