TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2019)” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Reserves and Risk Management
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months’ unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs.
The trustees have considered the key operational, financial, and strategic risks that have a bearing on the charity. Suitable management information is available to the trustees on a regular basis to monitor these risks, and allow any mitigating action to be taken to address them.
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF 2020
The SOFA can be viewed on page 6 which sets out the income and expenditure for the year.
Total incoming resources for the year were £87,741 (2019 - £207,226). The charity’s principal source of income was donations and Gift Aid received £61,076 (2019 - £70,907).
Total expenditure for the year was £103,523 (2019 - £361,136). The main area of expenditure was staff costs £58,876 (2019 - £98,567).
HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES IN 2020
In 2020 there were two major events which impacted the income of the charity. Firstly, the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant we were not able to host any of our conferences or events from March onwards. Secondly, there was the transfer of operations of the schools and conferences along with all of the assets, liabilities and staff to ‘Catch The Fire, London’, a cooperating charity, in August 2020.
In total there were three conferences held in 2020 before the pandemic affected operations. The annual women’s conference ‘Courageous’ took place in February, and there were two other conferences in Hereford and Manchester; all were well attended.
The impact of COVID-19 meant an effective ceasing of operations and furloughing of staff. The government’s JRS scheme helped to sustain our income and keep the staff on until the transfer of operations and staff to Catch The Fire, London in August. This was part of a reorganising of the Catch The Fire charities, with the future for Catch The Fire Ministries (UK) changing direction.
Future Plans
Plans for reorganising the charity have been put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the charity has appointed a new director in 2021, Mr David Richards (Vice President of Catch The Fire World (USA)), which will help bring direction for the future.

CLOSE COMPANY PROVISIONS
In the opinion of the trustees, the charity is a close company within the meaning of S414 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (as amended).
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2019)” and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the charity will continue operating.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
This report was approved by the trustees on ……………………………………… and is signed 28th September 2021 on their behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE MEMBERS
We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 set out on pages 6 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) or under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Companies Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
-
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, I have reasonable cause to believe that-
-
(1) in all material respects the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act; and
-
to prepare accounts in accordance with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act and with the methods and principles of the SORP;
have been met; and
- (2) there are no material matters to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
