## **EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR** 

Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Trust is a charitable company and its governing documents are the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 13th November 2004. The company was incorporated on 1st December 2004, and commenced trading on 1st August 2005 when all assets, liabilities and functions were transferred to it from the unincorporated charity, the Bible College of Wales (BCW or 'the College') (Reg. Charity No: 212216). 

All the Trustees subscribe to the doctrinal beliefs underpinning the Charity as originally laid out in the Scheme of the High Court of England and Wales dated 25 July 1955 relating to BCW and included as section 9.2 in the Articles of Association for the GHT. Trustees hold office until the end of the AGM held nearest in time to the fourth anniversary of their election, subject to retirement by rotation of one third of the Trustees at each AGM. Trustees retiring by rotation are eligible for re-election. All Trustees are elected by a simple majority of all the Trustees entitled to attend and vote at any meeting of the Board. The Trust seeks potential new Trustees with suitable skills and experience through its existing network of contacts. Potential Trustees are invited to attend Trustees' meetings and talk through issues relating to the charity, before their names are put forward. 

The Trustees oversee and make decisions regarding the strategic direction of the charity, as well as setting budgets, and dealing with legal and personnel issues. Andrew Scotland holds the position of Executive Chairman. The Trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the charity to the Operations Manager who oversees all the key objectives and operations of the Trust. Trustees visit the operations of the Trust on a regular basis and are involved in day-to-day management decisions as required notably through the Chief Operations Director and the Church Liaison Director who are both Trustees and part of the Senior Management Team. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

New Trustees undergo orientation to brief them on their legal obligations under Charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. 

## **Wider network** 

The Trust is a member of the Evangelical Alliance and works closely with numerous churches and Christian organisations in the UK and in other nations, many of whom are in relationship through the Life link network of churches, in order to achieve its objectives. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

The Memorandum of Association lays out the following objects of the Charity: 

To advance the Christian faith and public understanding of the Christian faith through any lawful means, anywhere in the world. 

The aim of the Charity is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person, that through the death and resurrection of Jesus, everyone can be reconciled to God. 

The Trust has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and planning its future activities. 

Our core mission, as outlined in our Memorandum of Association, remains to advance the Christian faith and enhance the public understanding of this faith through any lawful means worldwide. This year has been particularly transformative for the Trust, with strategic restructuring and the introduction of new initiatives aimed at facilitating a transformative journey towards a Jesus-centered life. We have worked diligently to position Life link Global at the forefront of digital evangelism while strengthening our ties with church-based communities to offer support and encouragement in their faith journeys. 

## _**Our main objectives for the year included:**_ 

Collaborating with key ministries both locally and internationally to develop new training programs for Christians. 

Leveraging digital platforms to share our message widely, complementing our work within church-based communities. 

Developing content specifically designed for social media to nurture relationships and support individuals on their faith journey. 

Communicating our new vision, mission, and operational structure following our strategic restructuring. 

## _**Achievement and Performance**_ 

This year has been marked by substantial achievements, aligning with our strategic focus and fresh vision: 

**Strategic Restructuring:** Following our strategic restructuring, we have refined our vision and mission, ensuring our structure and operations are fully aligned with our goals. This has enabled us to operate more effectively and focus on initiatives that directly support our mission. 

**Practitioner of the Soul Modules:** We have successfully launched a pilot of Practitioner of the Soul modules across churches in the United Kingdom. This marks the first phase in the development of 13 modules designed to equip Christians in their purpose-driven relationship with Jesus. 

_**Transition of Opportunity 2 Hope:** We_ have facilitated the transition of Opportunity 2 Hope into its own entity. This strategic move allows the ministry to focus dedicatedly on its mission, ensuring targeted and impactful delivery of its services. 

**Content Development:** We have continued to develop and diversify our training content, utilising various formats to ensure accessibility and engagement. Our focus on digital evangelism and social media content has allowed us to reach and support a broader audience. 

With the Trust's strategic restructuring and the launch of new initiatives, we are poised to expand our reach and deepen our impact in the coming year. Our commitment to facilitating a transformative journey towards a Jesus-centred life remains unwavering. We will continue to innovate, collaborate, and leverage digital platforms to share the Christian message, supporting individuals and communities in their faith journeys. We express our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, donors, and volunteers for their unwavering support. Your commitment to our cause inspires us to continue our work with renewed zeal and dedication.

## **Conclusion** 

The Trust enters the next financial year with a clear vision and a strengthened resolve to advance the Christian faith. Guided by our redefined objectives and strategic initiatives, we look forward to a year of growth, outreach, and transformative impact. Together, we will continue to bring hope and encouragement to individuals worldwide, fostering a deeper connection with the Christian faith. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The net outgoing resources of the Charity were £397,570 (2022: £185,703). The four main sources of income are student fees, donations, tithes and offerings from partner churches and membership subscriptions to our humanitarian partnerships. The Trust continues to provide financial support for Missionaries and Christian workers both in the UK and overseas. 

The financial statements show the Charity has free reserves (unrestricted reserves excluding those designated for capital assets) of £1,543,616 (2022: £1,941,186). The Trustees have formalised their reserves policy which is to hold sufficient reserves to cover any forecast operational deficit for the next 12 months. The Trustees are satisfied that the level of reserves in the trust is adequate. 

- Subject to the restricted funds noted below, all surplus assets and funds are held in an unrestricted fund holding the capital assets of the Trust. 

- The Hope for India restricted fund holds member subscriptions pending distribution to beneficiaries located in India. Restricted funds are £15,061 (2022: £12,719). 

- The Opportunity to Hope (O2H) restricted fund holds member subscriptions pending distribution to qualifying projects located anywhere in the world. Only members may submit projects for consideration of which they have particular awareness and accountability. Restricted funds are £2,231 (2022: £2,971). - Africa Enterprise Trust, Restricted funds are £40,252 (2022: £40,229). 

The restricted funds are administered by small committees with delegated authority from the Trustees. 

The Trustees review the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The Trustees believe that maintaining reserves at the levels stated, combined with annual reviews of the controls over key financial systems, will provide enough resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees are aware of other operational and external risks and compliance with law risks which The Trust faces and confirm that they have considered mitigate the significant risks. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

The Trust made an investment in Future Fuel, which, due to subsequent developments, has been subject to significant recoverability uncertainties. Following a detailed review and considering legal counsel's advice, a full provision has been made against the investment in this year's financial statements. This decision reflects the Trust's cautious approach, recognising the potential impact on our financial position while remaining hopeful for possible future recoveries. Should any recovery occur, it will be recognised as income in the fiscal period it is received. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 24 April 2024 and signed on its behalf by:
