## **DAI UK** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, present  their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

Reference and administrative details are shown in the schedule of members of the Board and professional advisers 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit is borne in mind when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.  In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

The company's objects and principal activities are, to use all the resources at its disposal for religious, educational and charitable purposes and specifically to enhance the effectiveness and integrity of Christian leaders by providing leadership development training courses, management consultancy and mentoring. 

It has been agreed with Development Associates International that in meeting these objectives , DAI UK should focus mainly, but not exclusively,  on serving the needs of the Diaspora Churches and Overseas Student Communities in the UK.  DAI UK will also continue to provide Facilitators and support for DAI’s Masters Degree Courses around the world and consultancy support overseas as and when needed. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **DAI UK OVERVIEW** 

As reported last year, DAI UK’s main objectives for 2021 were, to work in partnership with others to provide diaspora churches and international students studying in the UK with leadership training specifically developed to meet their needs. In addition to this plans were laid to develop the organisation’s governance leadership capacity and finances as well as continue to support DAI’s international ministry.  While the COVID pandemic has inevitably slowed down progress in some areas, much has been achieved.  Work will continue to explore the potential for working with more diaspora and student communities and DAI UK will remain open to other servant leadership training opportunities. 

## **1     Facilitate Leadership Training in the UK** 

In total 226 people attended 29 separate learning opportunities facilitated by DAI UK. This included 18 virtual (on-line) workshops attended by 90 people and 4 in person workshops. These learning opportunities have been delivered in partnership with three organisations: Nepal Christian Churches UK, Friends International and Transformation Leeds.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

Our aim for the year was to facilitate training for at least 30 Nepali Christian Leaders linked to Nepal Christian Churches UK and we are delighted to have exceeded expectations. 25 Nepali leaders attended at least 2 of the 5 workshop course entitled, “Our Mission: Learning to love and make disciples among our family, our neighbours and even our enemies”. In addition 21 Nepali leaders have signed up for the Certificate in Organisational leadership, which is being delivered by DAI UK in partnership with Ambrose University in Canada. The course started in October 2021 and consists of 4 modules covering: Servant Leadership; Conflict Management and Transformation; Leading Strategically; and Culture, Ethnicity and Diversity. Each module involves a minimum of 20 hours of live facilitated learning delivered as a mix of in person and on-line workshops. In addition as well as attending workshops the students have benefited from having a mentor that has offered on-line support; of the 7 mentors recruited 5 are Nepali speaking which has been a real encouragement.   The students are required to submit and pass two assignments per module in order to achieve the certificate pass. During 2021 the first module on servant leadership was completed 

The partnership with Friends International has involved delivering the Culture, Ethnicity and Diversity course to seven of their staff and volunteers. This was a multicultural group and engendered some great discussions and reflections on diversity and unity. In addition DAI UK was able to offer mentoring support for The Friend’s International Life Leadership course as well as several online workshops covering general leadership topics for overseas students, the majority of whom were from China. 

Transformation Leeds is a charity that works with international students in Leeds. DAI UK offered mentoring to one of their leadership apprentices, a Dr. in Public Health from Rwanda, who has since returned to her home and taken up a research post as well as responsibility within her local church. In addition DAI UK was able to recruit Christian leaders form Africa, China and South America as well as UK to facilitate seminars at the Transformation Leeds annual conference, which took place online. This was a fascinating collaboration involving over 70 people from 20 different nations. 

_In addition to the above, workshops have been carried out with several other organisations including Wycliffe Bible Translators and mentoring relationships developed with members of Pioneer churches. One of the participants in the Servant leadership module of the Certificate in Organizational Leadership wrote: “My mind-set has been changed about the purpose of a leader. It is not a role that should be taken for granted or considered a ‘higher’ position than another – I want to see a leader as someone who is there to build people up, to serve others and to bring God joy. … This mind-set change is most apparent in my role as a trustee. I was challenged as to why I accepted the trusteeship, especially when I have lacked so much confidence. I believe my motives were initially because I liked the position it gave me, the sense of more power. However, I have u-turned my thinking and motives dramatically now with the mind-set that I am there to serve the employees, to speak for those that cannot, to empower team within the charity and to fulfil God’s purpose”._ 

## **2      Governance and Leadership** 

During the year the staff base has expanded to include a part time administrative assistant and also a number of volunteers. By the end of 2021 we were delighted to have appointed 7 mentors and 5 volunteer facilitators, one of whom is from the Nepali community. It is hoped that as the charity grows, the number of volunteers will increase but also that some of these will be able to take on part-time paid employment so that growth can be consolidated and plans developed. 

The DAI UK Board has remained consistently engaged throughout the year, has undertaken reviews of all major policies and is in the process of seeking diversity in terms of age and ethnicity. 

## **3     UK Fundraising** 

Fundraising has continued to be challenging, as has been the case with many charities during the year given the role COVID has played in the nation. Despite this we have been able to attract funding from one new foundation and from individuals but there is still a heavy reliance on the grant from the USA. It is hoped that as the volunteer and staff base grows there will be more opportunity to attract funding from different sources including through improved communications. More details on finances are given in the financial section.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **4     International Ministry** 

International travel was severely restricted during the year so there were no opportunities to support DAI courses in other parts of the world. But a number of relationships were maintained through online opportunities, and this included supporting a major evaluation of a training organization in Nepal. In addition DAI UK was able to raise £15,089 for international COVID relief in particular for SE Asia as well as on-going support for international ministries including Dr Cindy Perry, one of DAI’s Senior Consultants. 

## **Financial review** 

Income from UK sources for 2021 was £35,336 (£22,632 in 2020). Of this £32,549 (£18,624 in 2020) was restricted income for specific international projects which DAI UK is supporting. 

DAI US continues to provide a significant part of the operational funding required by DAI UK. In 2021, DAI US underwrote £20,148 of the operating costs of DAI UK (£14,434 in 2020). With limited staff, there has been no concentrated effort to increase UK sources of funding during 2021. However, the Board will re-establish efforts to increase UK sources of funding once we have more staff in place and recognises that this will require significant dedicated effort. In terms of regular donor support, total income from individual donors increased to £25,212 (£17,384 in 2020). 

## **Reserves Policy** 

DAI UK remains significantly dependent on income from Development Associates International (DAI) to fulfil its objects. However, as part of its Risk Management process, Trustees concluded that, should funds from DAI US cease to be available, the current main liability would be meeting the employment costs of staff for three months and have established a reserve fund which at the year-end amounted to £11,921. 

## **Investment Policy** 

There are no restrictions on the charity's power to invest. Given the small sums of money currently involved and the limited objectives of such investment, the investment strategy is determined solely by the Trustees.  The overall investment policy is to protect the value of the capital and preserve, as far as is possible, the real value of the capital by seeking returns to mitigate the impact of inflation. It is considered that this policy is best implemented, at this time, by investing cash in an interest savings account without exceeding the maximum sum covered for the chosen deposit-taking institution of the Deposit Protection Scheme administered by the FSCS. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have considered the major risks facing the charity and the steps already in place to mitigate those risks. The review carried out each year records the risks identified, the steps in place to mitigate those risks and any actions required to further improve risk management. 

Procedures are in place to safeguard the health and safety of staff, especially when working from home, with special attention given to the assessment of the risks both staff and volunteers face when travelling to areas of the world with known higher risks.  DAI's Risk Policy document sets out the Board's attitude to risk, the organisation and responsibility for managing health and safety matters as well the specific arrangements for dealing with problems should they arise. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of appropriate systems and procedures including the segregation of authorisation of expenditure and payments. 

DAI UK remains dependent on Development Associates International for a significant part of its funding. As DAI UK is now establishing itself as primarily a ministry to the UK, Development Associates International will seek to continue their support while DAI UK works towards becoming self sufficient over the next few years. 

The Company's Reserves Policy has been formulated so that monies held in reserve are generated from UK giving.

## **DAI UK** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Plans for future periods** 

In line with the 5 year Strategic Plan the plans have been set against the same 4 headings as last year: Facilitated Learning; Governance and Leadership; Finances and International Ministry. 

- Continue to develop partnerships with diaspora communities and those involved in international student ministry including building relationship with 2 new people groups and emerging partnerships with 3 new organisations. 

- Complete and evaluate the delivery of the first Certificated Course in Organisational Leadership, and commence a second course incorporating the lessons learned. 

- Identify and deliver at least 6 workshops/courses for international students and multi-ethnic groups in addition to the Certificated Course. 

## **Governance and Leadership** 

- Continue to strengthen the composition and age range and diversity of the Board. 

- Establish a succession plan for both the staff and the Board. 

- To have in place 12 volunteers (facilitators and mentors) plus 2 assistant facilitators (contracted) who would support the co-ordination and delivery of some of the modules of the Certificated Course including overseeing the work of volunteers. 

- Engage with DAI UK’s Stakeholders in refining our ministry and unique position in the UK Christian environment. 

## **UK Fundraising and Supporters Development** 

- Attract major investors in the work of DAI UK from among high worth individuals, grant-making trusts and other organisations. Suggest £10,000 to come from these sources. 

- Continue to seek to attract investment and prayer in DAI UK’s work from Churches, individuals and course participants and in so doing increase our mailing list to at least 200. 

- Establish good regular communications with our supporters and back this up with a regularly refreshed and informative website. 

## **International Ministry** 

- When requested, give support to DAI Nepal and to the DAI SE Region. 

- Continue to mentor and support Facilitators, from the UK and elsewhere, for the global MA and NonFormal Workshop programmes. 

- Facilitate the practical financial support from the UK for Cindy Perry, Ernest & Tiffany Clark and DAIassociated projects in Nepal and Northeast India.

## **DAI UK** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **DAI - INTERNATIONAL OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

DAI UK is a member of the DAI International family which seeks to enhance the effectiveness and integrity of Christian leaders worldwide by providing leadership development training courses, management consultancy and mentoring.  Historically, DAI UK provided curriculum and learning materials for a number of DAI International’s courses which is still being used across the world and DAI UK also continues to provide some support for a number of DAI Interrnational’s staff. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: INTERNATIONAL OVERVIEW** 

_As the CEO Jane Overstreet observed: “Endurance” seems to be the theme for 2021, DAI’s 25th year in ministry. Why? Because all of us, whether DAI staff, donors or local leaders, have faced so much suffering this year. That suffering has come to us through weariness and loss due to another year of the global pandemic. Moreover, coups in Myanmar and Burkina Faso, natural disasters in Haiti and Nepal, rising kidnappings in Nigeria, and – most discouraging – political oppression and religious persecution in large portions of our world have made things even more difficult… Given 2021’s hardships, I was surprised that DAI’s 40 Ministry Centres didn’t just maintain, but increased their impact. Last year, 30,837 leaders were equipped through traditional DAI programs and 213,293 more were served through digital discipleship.”_ 

In total 244,130 leaders were supported internationally in 2021 via workshops, the Masters in Organizational Leadership, mentoring, and consultancy through the 40 ministry centres in 79 countries. Every DAI Ministry Centre charges a locally appropriate amount for its Workshops and other services. In addition to charging Workshop fees, they endeavour to raise local donations and gifts in kind. 

In addition $710,448 (£518,911, exchange rate at 31/12/2021) was raised internationally through local DAIsponsored “Compassion in Crisis” projects”. This reached: 

- 83,228 people with food and medical aid 

- in 19 different nations and 

- supported 108 projects plus 

- aided 18 hospitals 

DAI continues to see growing instability in the nations where the organisation serves, resulting in unprecedented challenges for Christian leaders to be the salt and light that is even more desperately needed in these places. These leaders know they need help and ongoing growth to lead in such challenging environments. This provides the motivation for DAI to continue to improve the quality of everything it does and thus expand and deepen its impact in the lives of the incredible leaders it has the privilege to serve.

## **DAI UK** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of the Board of Directors (Trustees)** 

The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Board of Directors. The Memorandum and Articles of Association require that at each annual general meeting, one third of the Trustees retire by rotation and may, if eligible, offer themselves for re-election. 

Trustees bring a variety of skills to the Board including, business & mission management, marketing experience, financial management, current first-hand knowledge of international issues, local UK Church supporter knowledge, charity management and charity law experience. 

The Board keeps its work and composition under review and ensures that the composition of the Board remains adequate to ensure the strategic development of the company's work and proper oversight of its operations. Using its  “Board Diversity, Experience and Skills inventory” identifies strategic gaps in its composition and takes steps to fill them.. 

Any new Directors (Trustees) who may be recruited are likely to be sought from people known to the Board, senior staff or those closely associated with the charity, and who can provide the necessary specialist skills and experience to ensure the effective working of the Board and the development of DAI UK's ministry. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

Emerging from a time of transition, 2021 has seen the establishment of DAI UK’s current ministry to diaspora churches and international students studying in the UK.  This has been done in partnership with other churches, notably the Nepali Church, and with other organisations.  This has been inspiringly led by CE Liz Taylor, assisted by an increasing number of very able volunteers and facilitators.  These growing ministries have required more administrative support and DAI UK was pleased to recruit Claire Brunt as it’s part-time Administrative Assistant and her work is already making a significant difference. 

Currently the Board of Directors (Trustees) is drawn from a variety of professional and charity backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training** 

New Trustees are provided with a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company and digital access to the Charity Commission's guidance, "The Role and Responsibility of Charity Trustees". New Trustees are encouraged to spend some time with senior staff to gain a proper understanding of DAI's work. The need for Trustee training is kept under review and appropriate training will be undertaken if the need is identified. 

The Board has approved a policy which encourages Board members to accompany senior staff of the charity on specific training sessions particularly in the UK, in order to deepen their understanding of DAI's work and/ or to take part in teaching in DAI courses. 

The Chief Executive keeps the Board well informed on a whole range of matters concerning the development of DAI UK’s ministry and future plans for growth. 

## **Related Parties** 

Development Associates International (DAI) provides the corporate identity for DAI's work worldwide.  DAI also provides a significant part of the funding for DAI UK at this time. 

## **Independent Examiner** 

Warner Wilde Limited has been appointed as Independent Examiner for the ensuing year.

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAI UK** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of DAI UK (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

**NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **DAI UK** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

DAI UK is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 25 Gordon Road, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 3RG. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.  Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under  Gift Aid or  deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

The value of any volunteer help is not included in the accounts, with the exception of the provision of professional services which would be valued and included as a gift in kind in voluntary income and a corresponding cost in the relevant category.

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised at transaction price. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the  charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.7 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the  charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.8 Retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. 

## **1.9 Foreign exchange** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.  Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit. 

## **1.10 Debtors** 

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.11 Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
