The charitable Trusi Deed was established in 2007. Trustees The charity re￿iVeS new trustees by invitation from current trustees who know the candidate lo be already interested in BEATS, with a previous connection to the charity as a supporter, and who il is fell by trustees would add usefulness to the work andlor insight to deliberations. Trustee appointments are made with the intention of ensuring that complemenlary skills and experience are brought to bear on managing the charity's activities. New truslees are invited on the understanding that there are five meelings per year (more if needed) and that all the work is voluntary. New trustees are given appropriate information from the Charity Commission and relevant information about BEATS. BEATS currently has 2 trustees who have served for more than 9 years, namely, the Chair, who has the most knowledge of the workings of the charity and who has built relationships with all our partners over many years, learning the Indonesian language in order to facilitate good working relationships" and also, the Child Protection Advisor, whose advi￿ is invaluable. Mr. lan Phillips joined the trustee board in January 2024. Mr. Theo Lane was asked to become a trustee from January 2025.

BEATS, Treasurer, Julie Collins, expressed a desire to step down in 2025 and lan Phillips, a long-time supporter of BEATS, agreed to take over as treasurer, with a hand-over period during the first few months of 2025. Early each year, BEATS, trustees read and discuss the purposes, powers and policies of the Trust, the role of charitable trustees within BEATS, organisation, and safeguarding. BEATS Trustees have had due regard forthe Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in planning our activities. Trustees deliberate over which members of the 'public' we are seNing and the 'benefit' they are receiving, in line with the charity's purposes. This helps trustees to ensure that the trust remains focused on its stated purposes. The three purposes of this charitable trust are explained below. The annual review considers each of BEATS, purposes, the activities undertaken to achieve them and the powers trustees have at their disposal to implement the purposes. Trustees also consider other helpful documents from the charity commission during this annual review. ortin BEATS. Indonesian artners: Indonesian charity 'Ya asan Adonai Cinta Anak Nusantara, I 'The Father Loves the Children of S E Asia Foundation, (YACAN) a) A Children's Home in Medan North Sumatra, b) Aceh viclims of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Indonesian charity 'Ya asan Anu rah Sun ai Air Hidu I 'Streams of Livin INater and Grace Foundation, (YASAH) Children's Home in Medan North Sumatra, which is helping victims of the Nias Island earthquake of Easter Monday 2005 and other needy children. Also, by helping to provide a good education for children from the home and children from nearby villages by contributing towards salaries of teachers at their affiliated onsite school, known locally as Anastasia School. Indonesian charity 'Ya asan Saluran Internasional, I 'lnternational Channel Foundation, (YSI), training schc>ols in Disaster Preparedness and helping victims of the 2004 tsunami to set up and sustain micro-businesses. Indonesian church 'Gere a Bethel Indonesia- Jamaat Betlehem Ambon, I'Bethel Church Indonesia Bethlehem Con re ation Ambon, (GBI-JBA), helping victims of the September 2019 earthquake by providing loans for people to set up micro-businesses, house-building and sponsorship of childrenlfamilies. Mr. Habel Tungka, (ex-headteacher at YASAH, who sti51 does their accounts for BEATS), who is overseeing students who have left YACAN or YASAH and who are now living independently, whilst attending university or starting their own business. Yayasan Selaksa Serjahtera. I 'Foundation to Improve Social Welfare, (YASERA), providing Disaster Preparedness in Bali (an 18-month project from January 2024 - June 2025}. The Trust's flrst ur ose Is to provlde rellef by means of materlal asslstsnce to vlctlms of earthquakes l tsunamis. In 2024, BEATS helped a) the people OfA￿h, Indonesia via YACAN and YSI charities., b) two Children's Homes in Medan.. i) Deli Tua Children's Home run by YACAN for approximately 40 children, students and staff, ii) Deli Serdang Children's Home run by YASAH for approximately 120 children, students and staff; c) the people of Ambon, via GBI Bethel Church. BEATS have helped in the following ways: a) Individual child I family sponsorship through YACAN, YASAH and GBI Ambon. b) Sponsorship of YACAN staff, YASAH School teacherslstaff, YSI co-ordinators and Ambon key workers.

c) Grants towards larger projects I purchases, such as baby lobsters for a lobster fami, cooking utensils for tsunami widows, providing first aid kits for disaster preparation. d) medical help for our workers and the earthquake victims they serve. The Trust utilises revenue from BEATS, tax reclaim and one-off donations to allocate grants. BEATS also occasionally receives grants from other chanties I trusts. BEATS, Chair receives regular detailed updates from overseas partners and relevant information is shared with the Treasurer and l or all trustees. In condusion, the first objective of relieving suffering has been shown to be beneficial to many members of the public in Indonesia, a) by giving children and students a better standard of living and education, emotional and spiritual support and guidance from BEATS, partners, b) in the case of YSI and GBIJBA, by helping adults to earn a living and, through YSI and YASERA, by working on the basis of 'Prevention is better than cure,, to help adults and children prepare for the next disaster. Also, in the case of Ambon, by helping more families to receive a home, having lost their previous home in the earthquake. The Trust's second ur ose is to advance the education and vocational tralnlng of young people affectsd by earthquakes l tsunamis. Sponsored children I students at YACAN and YASAH Children's Homes continue to be supported in their education, largely using donations from sponsors. The supported earthquake child victims obviously continue to grow up and leave the homes. Trustees discuss from time 10 time the diminishing numbers of those affected by earthquakes and tsunamis at YASAH and YACAN Homes and are gradually reducing our support accordingly. Many students are already living independently, with funds for university being transferred via our local administrator, Habel Tungka. Of the few Aceh children still sponsored, one is living in Medan, four live in Banda Aceh. A YACAN staff member checks on their physical needs with the help of YSI, including educational expenses, which, largely because of difficulty in Iravel, has been done remotely. Bank transfers have provided funds for daily needs. This project has been supported Sin￿ BEATS was founded but, of course, in diminishing numbers. A number of our young people are now working, married and with young families of their own! Relationships continue to be nurtured and emotional support given. BEATS continues to pay staff allowances at YACAN Children's Home, now based on the percentage of earthquake I tsunami victims plus a few others historically supported by BEATS for many years. Trustees are concerned that there are now only 3 mature full-time and 1 part-time member of staff plus 1 alumni student and an intem. Much of the work falls to the students who live there and those on the gap year. Trustees conlinue lo have regular Zoom meetings, which are valued by the staff as well as trustees. BEATS largely supports YASAH through the teacher sponsorship programme. Anastasia School is registered with the Indonesian government. BEATS General Fund supports teachers I staff who are earthquake victims and also pays schc>ol fees for pupils who are earthquake victims; some BEATS sponsors have also chosen to help pay teachers, salaries via BEATS. In this way, we help many children to receive a good education, with more hope of getting a good job in the future so that they can support themselves and their families and hopefully become useful members of society, maybe even being able to help others in years to come. Owing to the very few numbers of earthquake victims, BEATS trustees previously agreed to decreasing our support by 5 % each quarter, ending the support of teachers. salaries in June 2026. However, following concerns about safeguarding, trustees have unanimously agreed to stop supporting staff salaries in June 2025. BEATS Chair observed two lessons during a 2024 visit. BEATS Chair and Treasurer visited in February 2025, which included a face-to-face airing of safeguarding concerns to be addressed. The decision to end support of teacher salaries was subsequently confirmed.

BEATS has continued in 2024 to sponsor an increasing number of children and students in Ambon, who live with their families. Currently, 13 young people. Ysi YSI have been helping people in Aceh since 2005, where the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami hit hardest. They are a well-respected organisation, even though Christian within an Islamic province. In 2024, YSI have provided earthquake and tsunami 'disaster preparedness, education for schools, using the grants from BEATS. Teachers receive a day's seminar I training session. the following day the teachers teach disaster preparedness to pupils in the morning and in the aftemoon the whole school practises an earthquake and tsunami drill, including running away to a high place. The costs for the training CoU￿eS indude hiring premises for training, buying equipment and food for training days, staff costs, 'Go-bags' and First Aid boxes for each school, monitoring and follow up. A number of schools and many pupils have now received this training. including on Sabang Island. A grant was also given in 2024 to YSI for Disaster Preparedness in Manilla. Philippines, where they are also preparing for'The Big One, (i.e. a very big earthquake expected in the South Paafic region within the nexl few decades), as there are two fault lines running through this area. GBI-JBA GBI-JBA Church in Ambon have set up a child sponsorship scheme for Muslim and Christian children within their family units, although sponsorship is not necessarily restricted to the children only. Currently, 13 children and one grandma in 9 families are being sponsored, in order to help provide educational materials as well as other provisions. Success sto An example of success is Destin, sponsored through High School at YASAH and then through unive￿Ity, obtaining a midwifery degree and post-graduate qualification. Desh'n wothed so harrj, including at English language, coming top of her year group. Destin has longed to start a midwifery clinic on her home island, Nias. which is one of the poorest islands in Indonesia, with a high mortality rate for rnOthe￿ and babies because of a lack of facilities. BEATS tnjstees decid8d to help this dream become a reality and have helped Destin buy land on which to build a midwifery clinic, for which we hope funds can be raised in 2025. In condusion, the second objective of"advancing education I training has been shown to be beneficial to many members of the public in Indonesia through sponsorship of individual children and students through their education (YACAN. YASAH, GBI Ambon), by paying teacher salaries (YASAH), staff allowances {YACAN) and also providing funds for 'Disaster Preparedness, training (YSI) for schools. The Trust's thlrd ur ose Is to promote regeneratlon In areas of deprlvatlon affectsd by earthquakes l tsunamis for the benefft of the general public. YSI have been working during 2024 in the city of Banda Aceh and also on Pulau Aceh islands off the north- west coast called Pulau Nasi (Cooked Rice Island) and Pulau Beras (Uncooked Rice Island). The help from BEATS has largely focused on these islands in 2024. The work with tsunami widows is helping to regenerate the economy of these islands as on Pulau Nasi the women make bags, dothes, soap elc, which are selling well on the mainland., and on Pulau Beras the provision of cooking equipment has resulted in a successful cooking business. In 2024, a group of men started a lobster farm but it failed due to bad weather and, due to inadequate construction of the holding container, fish getting through the nets into it and eating the baby lobsters. For now, this group will not yet receive further grants. Other groups of men have started 'back-garden' type farming, producing fruit and vegetables. GBI-JBA The grants given by BEATS to rebuild houses that collapsed in the September 2019 Ambon earthquake are helping to regenerate areas of deprivation. Many families continue to live in tents I shacks or in cracked homes. Thus far, BEATS have enabled 15 homes to be built, with a 16 due to be finished early in 2025.

BEATS can only help if we re￿1ve enough money from supporters and l or grants. we hope we can continue to build homes in 2025. The micro-business loans are also helping local people to regenerate the economy in these very poor villages supported by BEATS. One new person was given a loan in 2024, using funds from loans repaid. Loans are currently for fishing, cakes, food shops, gas and breakfasulunches. A sewing machine is also available as a loan when a suitable seamstressltailor can be found. BEATS support two Muslim villages and one Christian village. Ambon is now one of BEATS, main projects. Nias Island BEATS have helped numerous individuals from Nias who were affected by the earthquake on 28 March 2005, largely those who were sent as children to either YACAN or YASAH Children's Homes for education and emotionallspiritual support. Destin, who was sponsored through school and midwifery university is now fulfilling her dream of helping her own people with help from BEATS in the fomis of grants to build a midwifery clinic in Nias. This project not only completes the aim of helping Destin to have a career but will also help the general public enormously, especially bearing in mind the too few midwifery clinics on the island and the current high mortality rates for mothers and babies on the island. orters BEATS trustees are grateful for support from individual donors and churches. Income for 2024 which, having dropped in 2022 and risen again in 2023, only dropped a little in 2024. A significant percentage of the 2024 income (£22,700) was in response to a particular appeal (for cancer treatment for the director of BEATS, Ambon work, John Takarbessy). Trustees are therefore expecting income to be significantly less in 2025 and will take that into consideration when planning grants. In 2024 BEATS were very grateful to receive grants from organisations l individuals that helped us lo continue our valuable work. BEATS is particularly grateful for all those who faithfully give regular monthly donations and have done so for many years. Trustees do nol take lightly the trust which is pla￿d in them to use money wisely and be open about how it is used. Whenever a new person signs up to support BEATS regularly, they receive a pack of information, induding an explanation that BEATS operates 'designated' funds and not 'reslricted' funds for regular givers and what that means in practice. In 2024, supporters have been kept informed wilh relevant information, and regular updates have been put on the BEATS website. Trustees are also grateful for the tax reclaim from the UK government, in 2024, was 413,200 {forlhe 2023 reclaim). Mana ement and overnance arran ements The Trust had 6 trustees in 2024. Trustees meet once a quarter, just before transfers of granls are made. Plus, an extra meeting early in the year, solely to discuss Safeguarding and also Purposes, Policies and Processes. BEATS, trustees continue to discuss some matters in-between meetings via email and l or WhatsApp. We ensure that all grants are discussed and agreed before being made, including extra grants made between our quarterly meetings. Trustees are satisfied that the work of our Indonesian partners is managed in a prudent and effective manner, with due care and attention for all aspects of the work. From time-to-time problems arise, which is inevitable with so many personalities as many young people have had trauma in the past, before entering the children's homes. Trustees are quick to do our best to help people and resolve issues as they arise. Detailed financial records are received by BEATS from all partners about how grants have been spent, including about individual sponsored children I students.

Restricted Funds For the first time in 2024, trustees have decided to include restricted funds in the accounts. This decision is based on the donations given especially for cancer treatment and associated costs for our main partner in Ambon, John Takarbessy. Also, trustees deaded that donations specifically for the Nias Island midwifery clinic should be recorded as restricted funds. POLICIES reviewed annuall Safe uardin BEATS has a safeguarding policy, which is on the BEATS website and is available on request. The Safeguarding policies of our partner organisations are also available on request. In early 2024, YACAN introduced a new Safeguarding Policy to combine and supersede the previous child protection and adult protection policies. Bolh Children's Homes continue to have on display. for all children to see, 'Keeping Myself Safe, and 'You Are Special, poslers, which give easy to understand information about Safeguarding in child-friendly Indonesian language. Both Children's Homes have a Risk Assessment document, which trustees encourage staff to discuss and update each year. BEATS have also produced a (password protected) 'Risk Log, where polential or actual safeguarding risks can be recorded and monitored by 3 Irustees. Both Children's Homes have CCTV. In 2024, trustees continued to monitorlhe work in both Children's Homes by frequent Zoom and IllhatsApp discussions. We are confident that staff at YACAN are open and honest about the challenges faced from time to time in running a Children's Home; and they lel us know if they have problems, which are discussed with all leaders feeling comfortable to give opinions and work situations out together, with suggestions from BEATS trustees. Regular Zoom meetings include the Chair and one other trustee. Trustees are mindful of the need to deal with incidents well and speedily, in conjunEtion with our partners, showing due-diligenr and reporting to the Charity Commission if appropriate. Trustees continue to remind the Children's Homes about the importance of Safeguarding and the agr￿d procedures. YASAH management have not been so forth-coming. Some safeguarding documents have been slow to materialise and trustees are Con￿rned that safeguarding agreements may not always being adhered to. Hence the decision to cease funding teachers, salaries after June 2025 instead of June 2026 when planned funding reduction was originally intended to reflect the limited remaining earthquake victims in attendance. Risk Mana ement To date, BEATS has been a fundraising charity that allocates money lo olher trusted organisations and occasionally to individuals that are helping victims of tsunamis and earthquakes. Trustees regulady review the risks that the charity faces, including the sending of grants. The Trust does not agree to provide any grants until monies have been raised. From its inception, BEATS has had an informal policy to avoid 'middle men,, therefore linking with people recommended to us and who demonstrate openness to trustees, with clear, transparent, accounting and regular updates about how grants from BEATS have been allocated, in accordance with the agreed needs. Trustees have secure and trusted partnerships with all our contacts (by email, VdhatsApp, Zoom and in person) and frequent communication takes pla￿, which minimises risks. Detailed reports are received at least twice per year from partners (and, from most, once per quarter), showing how grants have been utilised. Also, evidence of appropriate use of funds is verified during the frequent visits to Indonesia of the Chair and other trustees. Supported charities are managed by people trustees are confident, from experience, we can trusl, or have been recommended to BEATS trustees by others with whom we have worked suc￿sSfUlly. When partnering with someone new, trustees are careful to only send a small granl initially, in order to test the reporting capabilities of the new partner and banking arrangements, even if someone is recommended to BEATS as trustworthy. This minimises risk.

BEATS Treasurer and Chair are accountable to each other, working together at ensuring BEATS, financial administration and accounts are accurate and regularly UF)dating the other trustees. The Trust uses XE to transfer grants directly to our partners, bank accounts, once funds are received from the BEATS C(> operalive Bank account. XE is reliable, with competitive exchange rates. This has proved to be a safe, secure and simple method for transfers. Health and Safe The Health and Safety Risk Assessment policies at YACANfYASAH Children's Homes, which were developed in 2019. are reviewed regularly. In 2023 trustees received updated Risk Assessments for YASAH and YACAN, including for the YACAN 'Uni House,. Fire and earthquake drills are part of the Risk Assessment documents. A health and safety policy is nol required for BEATS, Trustees, because all Trustees work voluntarily from their own homes. BEATS has no office. At YACAN, staff do their best to be available for the children, but BEATS trustees are concerned that, with so few staff, this is not happening as much as would be helpful (likewise in YASAH). However, an alumni student of YACAN who recently graduated from bible school is helping until summer 2025 and the girls in particular share thoughts and feelings with her. A male intern from bible school is helping to care for the boys for one year. Reserves Trustees have a policy to keep approximately £1,000.00 In reserve for emergencies, n50s I Volunteer Mana ement BEATS has no paid staff., all trustees are volunteers. Another volunteer is BEATS, website manager. Trustees take great care to minimise the expenses incurred by the Trust. XE, who instigale 8￿TS, transfers, do not charge transfer fees for any grants over £250. Trustees and other individuals give gifts to BEATS in order to coverALL expenses. BEATS website continues to be a valuable resource for promoting the work of BEATS and enabling potenlial and current supporters to stay abreast of developments: www. beatscharit .co. uk Dats Protsctlon In line with GDPR, which came into force in May 2018, BEATS produced and circulated a Data Protection Policy Documenl and a form on which supporters indicate by which means they are willing to be contacted. Vk+hen regular support is withdrawn, details are transferred to a 'suppression list,. All new supporters are sent the Data Protection Policy Document and asked to indicate how they wish to be contacted. This document is reviewed every 3 years and was updated in January 2024. Com lalnts Procedure Complaints I concerns a￿ very rare due to the personal nature of this small charity. Supporters are encouraged to contact the Chair at any time if they have COn￿rnS or questions, which are quickly followed up and followed through to a satisfactory conclusion. Trustees are heartened that our good name continues and trust is secure. A reements In order lo provide a clear understanding between key partners and BEATS, Trustees have established formal written agreements, each one bespoke (in English and Indonesian), which govern the tenns and conditions of any grants made and sponsorship arrangements entered into by BEATS. Communication Trustees carefully manage communications between BEATS, individual sponsors and the sponsored children I students. Bi-annual letters and video messages are monitored and translated into English by our partners. Letters and messages from sponsors to their sponsored child I student are translated from English into Indonesian by BEATS, Chair (with help from 'Google Translate,) andlor our Indonesian partners.

Many supporters have discovered the benefits of contsct via VVhatsApp, where photos, video and audio clips can be sent befv4een sponsor and supported individuals via a trustee and our Indonesian partners. BEATS. Chair has direct contact with all individuals aged 18 and over who are now required to have a phone for Iheir studies. When individuals reach adulthood and when they leave their children's home, the individuals sponsored may have direct contact with their sponsor if they wish. In 2024, Zoom has continued to be a good method of regular communication. Children and students at YACAN and YASAH Children's Home have benefitted from WhatsApp video, as well as phone, by being permitted to contact their family every month, if possible. YACAN staff have also utilised BEATS 'Visiting Families Fund, for children's I students, occasional trips home. Visits by BEATS trustees are highly valued by our partners. In 2024 BEATS Chair visited for a month in Aprillmay, with her husband, and was able to visit all current projects. This proved very useful. A IWhatsApp group was set up for those supporters interested in a blog and up-to-date prayer requests. As a result of this group, prayers were clearly answered. Talks are given from time to time to groups. In 2024 a talk was given at Holy Trinity Church Bosham, following the Indonesia trip, including Q and A, to which all supporters were invited, firstly 'in person, and later repeated on Zoom. St John's Church Southbourne also supported BEATS by promoting it as their 'Charity of the Month, in July, including a talk at services, which resulted in someone wanting to fund the building of House No.16 in Ambon. Supporters were also invited to a time of 'Praise and Prayer, whilst BEATS Chair was in Aceh, Indonesia, which included our Indonesian partners to give a summary of their work and prayer requests. Pralse and Pra er Trustees have continued to host a monthly Zoom prayer meeting for our projects, with items for Praise and Prayer provided by our partners and BEATS Chair. Supporters who are interested are invited tojoin in with these 40-minute sessions. It continues to be exciting to experience this time together and to see so many answers to prayer. Daily prayers for BEATS are available in booklet form, on the BEATS website and on the 'Prayermate' app. ststement of Trustses, res onsibllltles BEATS charity trustees make decisions together, working well as a team, and the decisions made are usually unanimous. following thoughtful discussion. Trustees endeavourto ensure that decisions are made for public benefit, comply with BEATS, governing document and the law, act in the best interests of BEATS charity, manage the charity's reSoUr￿S responsibly, act with reasonable care and skill and ensure BEATS charity is accountable to its supporters and the Charily Commission. Trustees prepare financial statements for each financial yearwhich show a true and fair view of Ihe charity and its financial activities for that period. Trustees keep proper accounting records which disclose, with a very high degree of accuracy at any lime. the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Last year's plans were fulfilled, including a very encouraging update on the success of the cooperative and the fertiliser business in Sulawesi, started after help from BEATS I YSI following the 2018 earthquake I liquefaction I tsunami. BEATS paid for the Director of YSI to speak at a conference in Turkey about Disaster-Preparation in S E Asia. It was decided al this time that there was not a suitable partner for the limited funds (£210> from donors for the Turkeylsyria earthquake victims, so funds will be used for YSI work. In 2024, trustees and supporters prayed and donaled towards cancer treatment for John Takarbessy, our main worker in Ambon, who became ill at the end of 2023. Unfortunately, John died in November 2024. BEATS trustees were pleased that we were able to give him an extra 10 months of life. Ambon Treasurer, Benny Siwabessy, has taken over the lead role in Ambon. As BEATS looks forward to further work in 2025, trustees are hoping to secure grants for the building or repairing of houses in Ambon. W&were grateful for the opportunity to build House No.15 in 2024 and look forward to al least one more house being built in 2025. Although giving seems to be reducing, trustees are hopeful that BEATS will continue to see strong support for our work, through continued regular giving sponsorship, one-off gifts and in relationships through WhatsApp contact between trusteeslsupporters and the supported.

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 explanation from the trustees Con￿rning 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 fairf, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention, 1. Vvhich gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements to keep the accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Charities Act have not been met, or 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts. Mrs K Gowling Barn Close Ham Lane Prinsted Chichester P010 8XT Signed: Dated..
