Mission Statement
Derek Prince Ministries exists to develop disciples of Jesus Christ, through the Bible teaching of Derek Prince. Our vision is to reach the peoples of the world in a language they can understand, with the Bible teaching of Derek Prince, using every type of media and all forms of distribution, regardless of the economic means of the recipients.
Derek Prince
Derek Prince (1915–2003) was born in India of British parents. He was educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, where he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King's College. He also studied Hebrew and Aramaic, both at Cambridge University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In addition, he spoke several other modern languages.
While serving with the British army in World War II, he began to study the Bible and experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Out of this encounter he formed two conclusions: first, that Jesus Christ is alive; second, that the Bible is a true, relevant, up-to-date book. These conclusions altered the whole course of his life. After that time, he devoted the rest of his life to studying and teaching the Bible.
He is the author of over 60 books, over 450 audios and 150 video teaching messages, many of which have been translated and published in more than 100 languages.
Derek's main gift was explaining the Bible and its teaching in a clear and simple way. His non-denominational, nonsectarian approach has made his teaching equally relevant and helpful to people from all racial and religious backgrounds. Derek Prince poured himself out to reach the unreached and teach the untaught—to see God's people grow to fulfilling Derek's original calling to be a teacher of the Scriptures, in truth and faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus—for many.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Derek Prince Ministries today
Derek Prince passed away in 2003, but the ministry continues to expand on a worldwide basis, currently comprising 11 national offices that provide teaching materials and raise funds for DPM outreaches. Outreach offices are also located in more than 50 nations.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our Purpose
The objects of Derek Prince Ministries (UK), as established in our founding Deed of Trust, are the advancement of the Christian religion throughout the world by such charitable means as the Trustees see fit. Our primary mission is to provide foundational Bible teaching to those who seek it, ensuring that geographical, linguistic, or economic barriers do not prevent individuals from accessing these resources.
Our Strategic Aims
To fulfil our objects, the Trustees have identified the following core aims:
-
Global Accessibility: To place Derek Prince’s Bible teaching resources into the hands of seekers and believers worldwide, using every available channel and media format.
-
Linguistic Reach: To prioritise the translation and production of materials into the languages of the people we serve, ensuring the teaching is clear and culturally relevant.
-
Spiritual Equipping: To provide structured Bible study courses and resources that support the long-term spiritual growth of individuals and the strengthening of local churches.
Delivering Our Objectives
We achieve these aims through a diverse range of outreach projects and distribution methods:
-
Content Production: Investing in the translation, printing, and digital production of books and curriculum materials.
-
Digital Reach: Expanding our reach through websites, YouTube, podcasts, and mobile apps to engage with a global audience.
-
Broadcast Media: Maintaining a presence through radio and television broadcasts to reach areas where digital infrastructure may be limited.
-
Resource Distribution: Ensuring that audio, video, and printed Bible study resources are made available through both traditional and electronic media formats.
Public benefit
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
DPM (UK) advances the Christian religion by using the printed word, the internet, and other electronic media to provide biblical teaching that impacts lives in spiritual, moral, and practical ways. These publications promote the Gospel and reinforce Christian values, providing clear and identifiable benefits to the spiritual and personal development of the public.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
There is no geographical restriction to these benefits, and our governing document contains no religious restrictions on who may access DPM (UK) services; our resources are available to the general public regardless of their personal faith or background.
To ensure those on low incomes are not excluded, the charity sets resource prices at an affordable level. Furthermore, a wide range of teaching—including books, proclamation cards, and digital content via YouTube, podcasts, and our app—is provided entirely free of charge. This commitment to accessibility is further demonstrated by our dedicated programme providing free Bible teaching materials to prison inmates.
Policies and Governance
Remuneration Policy
The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the remuneration of Derek Prince Ministries staff. Our policy is designed to provide a fair and competitive reward package that attracts and retains high calibre individuals with the skills necessary to achieve the Charity’s strategic objectives.
To ensure that pay remains objective and aligned with the wider voluntary sector, the Charity utilises an independent benchmarking service. This provides sector-specific data on pay for UK charities of a similar size and scope. The Board uses the market median as a primary guide when reviewing salary bands.
The Trustees recognise that the long-term sustainability of the ministry is inextricably linked to the well-being and retention of our team. The Board remains committed to recognising the worth of our employees and providing practical support to help mitigate the impact of ongoing economic challenges and inflationary pressures. This approach reflects our dedication to responsible stewardship and the care of those who serve the mission of the Charity.
Fundraising
DPM (UK) raises funds to support global outreach efforts through targeted direct mail and digital campaigns. Our fundraising strategy is aligned with priorities determined collaboratively at the annual meeting of DPM International Directors, ensuring a unified global approach. Following these meetings, DPM (UK) communicates specific appeals to our community of supporters, providing detailed information on project goals, emerging opportunities, and prayer needs.
Standards and Monitoring
We are committed to best practice and aim to comply with the Code of Fundraising Practice as set out by the Fundraising Regulator.
Protecting the Public
We take our responsibility toward our supporters seriously. Our communications are designed to be informative and invitational, ensuring that no individual is under undue pressure to give. We have internal processes to identify and protect vulnerable individuals, ensuring that our fundraising remains respectful and ethical.
Impact
Every contribution received is restricted to the specific DPM office or project for which it was raised, ensuring that funds are used for their intended purpose and deliver a tangible impact.

UK Focused Outreach
Strategic Vision and Impact
The UK office serves as a primary hub for advancing the ministry’s mission across the British Isles, with a core focus on discipleship, evangelism, and pastoral ministry. Our primary objective is to place Derek Prince's foundational Bible teaching resources into the hands of those seeking spiritual truth and transformation, utilising a variety of channels to ensure accessibility for all individuals regardless of their location or economic means.
Core Outreach Initiatives
-
Prison Ministry (Inside Outreach): Launched in 1995, this flagship UK programme provides free Bible teaching books, CDs, and DVDs to inmates across the United Kingdom. We are currently in the process of a relaunch with the goal of reaching all 142 prisons in the UK, including facilities for adult males, females, and young offenders.
-
Direct Inmate Support: Through a unique point system, prisoners can order specific teaching materials via their chaplain each month to support their spiritual growth while in custody.
-
Chaplaincy Support: We supply prison libraries and provide additional resources to chaplains to assist them in their pastoral duties.
-
Post-Release Care: Our commitment extends beyond the prison walls, as we continue to provide free materials to ex-offenders for up to one year after their release to support their reintegration into society.
-
Prayer and Deliverance Ministry: A significant development in our UK outreach is the addition of a dedicated Prayer Coach to our team. This initiative provides support for individuals seeking healing, freedom from addiction, and spiritual deliverance through personal prayer sessions and specialised Derek Prince materials.
-
Equipping UK Churches and Ministries: DPM (UK) actively partners with various Christian organisations and Bible colleges throughout the country to integrate Derek’s teachings into their discipleship and leadership training programmes.
-
Strategic Partnerships: Recent collaborations include supplying resources to Mission 24 for training evangelists and participating in national initiatives like the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer.
-
Event Presence: We are increasing our presence at UK-based events and conferences, providing dedicated bookstalls to share foundational teachings with a wider audience.
-
Targeted Resource Distribution: We regularly provide teaching materials for street outreach and local evangelism efforts, including a recent gift of copies of The Divine Exchange to supporters on the front lines of UK evangelism.
Digital and Media Outreach
Our UK-focused digital strategy is designed to make Derek Prince’s teachings readily available to a digital audience through multiple platforms. Our dedicated mobile app and radio podcasts serve as a vital content library for thousands of UK believers and have reached nearly 10 million downloads. Furthermore, our DPM World Magazine remains a showcase of our UK outreach; distributed free of charge to our domestic mailing list, it provides testimonies and spiritual encouragement specifically tailored to our UK supporters.
INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH
Global Partnership and Outreach
In addition to supporting our primary work in the UK, as a member of a worldwide fellowship of Derek Prince Ministries offices, we contribute towards the globally funded outreaches of DPM.
Page 4
DEREK PRINCE MINISTRIES (UK)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
This collective effort is coordinated through the DPM International Council and allows us to share translation costs, leverage global digital platforms, and ensure that Bible teaching reaches the most remote areas of the world effectively. Our funding is directed to specific DPM National Offices and representatives who possess the local expertise required to manage projects on the ground.
Africa Outreach
-
Legacy and Mission: DPM’s commitment to Africa dates back to 1957, when Derek and Lydia Prince served as missionaries in Kenya. Today, the ministry continues this legacy by advancing the spiritual welfare of African communities through practical faith-based initiatives and foundational Bible teaching.
-
● Regional Growth and Impact: Over the last decade, our presence has expanded to include representatives in 13 nations, including Burundi, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Rwanda.
-
Translation: A cornerstone of our work is making teachings accessible in "heart languages." Teaching Letters are now available in 19 African languages, and core titles like Foundations for Life are widely distributed in Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, and French.
-
Equipping Leaders: We continue to focus on training pastors and ministry leaders, providing them with the resources necessary to navigate spiritual challenges and lead their congregations into maturity.
China Outreach
Strategic Context and the Need for Depth For over 40 years, DPM has served the Church in China, where Derek Prince is known as Ye Guang-Ming ("Clear Light"). Historically, the Chinese house church has been described as being "a mile wide but only four inches deep." This phrase highlights a critical challenge: while the Church in China experienced explosive, miraculous growth (the "mile wide"), the rapid pace of conversion often outstripped the availability of trained leaders and foundational Bible teaching (the "four inches deep"). This lack of theological depth left many believers vulnerable to the influence of extreme cults and syncretic heresies. Our mission is specifically designed to address this gap by providing the systematic, foundational teaching necessary to "deepen the soil" of the Chinese Church, ensuring believers are rooted in the truth of the Scriptures.
Adaptation to Restrictions (2024/25) In response to intensifying domestic restrictions and increased digital surveillance within mainland China, the ministry has adapted its distribution strategy to ensure the safety of local believers:
-
Secure Offline Solutions (USB): We have engaged highly skilled native Chinese IT staff who have developed significant ways to distribute Derek Prince's material across China online. This has massively increased the reach of our ministry. The team also use creative ways to attract new believers to Derek Prince's teaching.
-
The Chinese Diaspora: Recognising the massive wave of Chinese emigration, we have launched initiatives to reach the global Chinese diaspora. We are providing primarily Mandarin resources to Chinese communities in Europe, North America, and across Africa, where many are finding Christ for the first time and require foundational discipleship.
Former Soviet Republics Outreach
- Regional Presence: Derek Prince’s teachings are a household name across the former Soviet Union. With strategic bases in Armenia and Moscow, we effectively disseminate resources across a vast geographical and denominational expanse.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
-
2024/25 Developments:
-
Digital Reach: Our dedicated Russian website, derekprince.ru , serves as a global resource hub, offering daily devotionals and audio-visual teachings. We have further embraced social media, using YouTube to provide free streaming to millions of Russian speakers.
-
Vernacular Expansion: Beyond Russian, we are committed to linguistic accessibility, ensuring resources are available in Armenian, Georgian, Azeri, Tajik, and Estonian to support local national identities.
Eastern Europe Outreach
-
Spiritual Strengthening: Since 1989, DPM has been a significant force for spiritual renewal in Eastern Europe, helping churches navigate the social and economic legacy of the Communist era.
-
● 2024/25 Developments:
-
Equipping for Life: We have intensified efforts to host training events and conferences covering practical biblical subjects such as the marriage covenant, fatherhood, and financial management.
-
Ukraine Coordination: To ensure a resilient response to the ongoing conflict, the outreach in Ukraine is now coordinated under the Eastern Europe leadership team. This ensures that Bible teaching resources reach displaced persons and local congregations effectively during this time of upheaval.
Indian Subcontinent Outreach
-
Targeted Discipleship: Since 1997, our strategy in India has focused on equipping church leaders to foster a mature, growing Church.
-
Impact and Innovation:
-
Graduate Gift Programme: Over 150,000 Bible college graduates have received foundational book packs over the last two decades.
-
Digital Transition: A primary challenge remains encouraging regional language pastors to utilise online resources. We are actively developing culturally relevant digital content to support a new generation of Christian leaders across India’s 28 states.
Israel Outreach
-
Biblical Mandate and Vision: DPM’s outreach in Israel is rooted in a profound biblical conviction: the Church owes a spiritual debt to the Jewish people. As Derek Prince often taught, without the Jewish people, we would have no patriarchs, no prophets, no apostles, no Bible, and no Saviour. Our primary objective in the Land is to provide sound biblical teaching that bridges the gap between the Church and the root of its faith.
-
Derek Prince’s Legacy in the Land: Derek’s connection to Israel was deeply personal, beginning in 1941 during his military service when he sensed a divine call to the Land, famously stating, "Jerusalem chose me." Alongside his first wife, Lydia, he witnessed the miraculous birth of the State of Israel in 1948. He later lived in Jerusalem with his second wife, Ruth, for over 20 years. Derek’s love for the Jewish people was a commitment that lasted until his final breath in Jerusalem in 2003. He believed that the restoration of Israel is a key sign of God’s faithfulness and a necessary precursor to the return of Christ.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
-
Supporting the Messianic Community: A core priority for DPM (UK) is the strengthening and encouragement of Messianic churches and believers. We recognise the unique challenges faced by the Messianic body in Israel and are committed to providing the "solid food" of the Word to help these growing congregations stand firm. Through our resources, we seek to equip Messianic leaders and disciples to be a light within their own nation, grounded in the foundational truths of the Gospel.
-
Multilingual Outreach (2024/25): To serve the diverse population of modern Israel, we provide essential resources in four key languages:
-
Hebrew: We are actively subtitling 70 of Derek’s foundational sermons into Hebrew to reach a new generation of digital seekers and to support Hebrew-speaking Messianic congregations.
-
Russian: With a large percentage of the population being Russian-speaking returnees ( Olim ), our Russian library is a vital tool for discipling this significant portion of the Body of Christ.
-
Arabic: We provide resources to Arab believers and churches, fostering a unified witness to the power of the Gospel across ethnic lines.
-
English: We maintain a robust selection of English materials to serve the international and expatriate Christian communities residing in the Land.
-
Strategic Partnerships: Through our partnership with Christian Friends of Israel (CFI), we place thousands of Derek’s books—including Why Israel? and the Self-Study Bible Course —directly into the hands of pastors and individual seekers free of charge.
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Outreach
-
Strategic Context: Derek Prince Ministries' outreach across the MENA region is an expansive operation, delivering foundational Bible teaching to 17 countries. Our strategy leverages the linguistic commonality of over 300 million Arabic speakers while proactively addressing the unique "heart languages" of the region's diverse ethnic and cultural groups.
-
Linguistic and Dialect Diversity:
-
Ethno-Linguistic Reach: We are committed to reaching beyond Standard Arabic to serve the region's distinct ethnic populations. This includes dedicated resources in Sorani and Kurmanji (for Kurdish communities) and Tamazight and Kabyle (for the Amazigh communities traditionally known as Berber, across North Africa).
-
Dialect-Specific Adaptation: Recognising that Standard Arabic is often a formal language, we have expanded our production of materials in local dialects to make the teaching more personal and accessible. This includes resources specifically adapted for Sudanese, Gulf, and Moroccan (Darija) speakers.
-
Language of Influence: English resources are also provided in the Gulf States and South Sudan, where it remains a primary second language for education and trade.
-
2024/25 Impact and Crisis Response:
-
Digital Lifeline: Our Arabic digital platforms, featuring over 700 videos, serve as a vital resource for hundreds of thousands of believers, many of whom live in areas with restricted religious freedom.
-
Refugee Care in Egypt: A primary focus this year has been supporting Sudanese and Ethiopian refugees escaping conflict. Through pastor's conferences and literature distribution, we have witnessed powerful transformations as Derek’s teaching on Blessing or Curse provides spiritual healing to those displaced by war.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
-
Format Versatility: To bypass regional internet surveillance and censorship, we continue to distribute teaching on USB flash drives and SD cards, providing secure, offline access to the "whole counsel of God."
-
Strategic Vision: We are accelerating the translation of Derek’s foundational series into these minority languages and dialects. This ensures that the message of spiritual freedom and foundational truth is not just heard, but deeply understood in the context of the region's diverse cultural heritage.
DEREK PRINCE DIGITAL
Strategic Stewardship DPM (UK) is a key partner in our global digital ministry. Together with DPM USA, we cover the core costs of digital platforms to support the worldwide fellowship of DPM offices. By sharing one central system, we avoid the need for regional offices to build their own, ensuring that resources are spent on outreach rather than administrative duplication. This UK-supported hub provides a reliable source of Bible teaching for British believers while equipping the global Church with high-quality discipleship tools.
The Digital Landscape: A Single Source of Truth In an era where the quest for profound life questions often starts online, the role of Derek Prince Ministries is essential. With the rapid rise of AI-generated content and digital misinformation, the UK office is committed to maintaining a single global source of authentic truth. It is now possible for AI to create deceptive, "deep-fake" audio and video that mimics Derek Prince’s voice and likeness, potentially distorting his message.
To counter this, our specialised team ensures that our official platforms remain the verified "gold standard" for his teaching. By providing high-quality, authentic content, we protect seekers and believers from untrustworthy or altered versions of Derek Prince Bible teaching.
YouTube Impact and Global Reach
The 2024/25 period marked a significant milestone for our ministry as the official Derek Prince Ministries YouTube channel surpassed 1 million subscribers . This achievement represents a global congregation of believers and seekers engaging with sound Bible teaching every day.
Multilingual Engagement
Our YouTube presence has expanded with subtitled content in dozens of languages, reaching millions of views across diverse cultures.
Countering Misinformation
By maintaining a robust and verified presence, we proactively counter the rise of AI-generated content and unofficial channels. Our official digital platforms ensure that listeners hear Derek’s actual voice and authentic message, untainted by deceptive or altered content.
Comprehensive Discipleship
Beyond YouTube, our digital strategy encompasses podcasts, mobile apps, and e-books. Derek’s teachings are now widely accessed via the YouVersion Bible App and various streaming platforms, ensuring that "the whole counsel of God" is available to disciple believers worldwide, regardless of their physical location or the local restrictions they may face.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Results
Total incoming resources for the year ending 30 June 2025 were £935,876 (2024: £938,265) this represents a 1% reduction from the previous reporting period. After deducting resources expended of £883,752 (2024: £1,286,464) this resulted in a surplus of £348,199 (deficit 2024: -£348,199)
Balance Sheet The net assets of the charity at 30 June 2025 were £2,748,401 (2024: £2,561,193).
Operational Changes and Expenditure
During the 2024/25 financial year, the Charity underwent a restructuring of its international operations. The oversight of our global digital team, along with the responsibility for their associated operational costs, was transferred to DPM USA .
As a result, the annual unrestricted expenditure of DPM (UK) decreased from £998,579 in 2024 to £573,450 in 2025. This move has allowed the UK office to focus more of its resources on domestic outreach.
Reserves policy
The Charity is primarily funded by voluntary donations from individuals; consequently, our income is susceptible to economic fluctuations. To ensure the long-term stability of our global outreach, the Trustees have established a prudent reserves policy of maintaining between six and twelve months of total expenditure in free reserves.
The Trustees adopt a conservative "liquidity-based" approach to calculating free reserves, which excludes tangible fixed assets, stock held for distribution, and long-term investments held for income generation.
Performance and Monitoring At 30 June 2025, the Charity’s net liquid free reserves stood at £816,720 (2024: £827,424). While the absolute value of our reserves remained consistent with the prior year, the transfer of global costs to DPM USA significantly lowered our monthly expenditure. Consequently, our reserves now represent 17 months of cover based on our current spending levels, compared to 10 months in 2024.
The Trustees recognise that this current level exceeds the upper limit of our 12-month policy. This increase in "months of cover" is primarily due to significant operational cost-efficiencies achieved during the financial year.
Future Allocation of Surplus Reserves The Trustees recognise that 17 months of cover exceeds our upper target of 12 months. This "surplus" is a direct result of the operational changes made this year and provides a unique opportunity to accelerate our mission within the United Kingdom and to enhance our online platforms to improve global accessibility.
Appointment of new trustees
The existing Board of Trustees are responsible for the appointment of any new trustees, and no outside parties are involved in this process. It is sought to maintain that a broad range of skills and expertise are represented on the board. Prospective trustees are usually identified through a long-standing knowledge and support of the charity or by being known personally to the existing Trustees. They will normally be invited to serve in the capacity of a board advisor for 12 months, to further assess their suitability for the role, and to allow them to become acquainted with the trustee function. Upon completion of this, an invitation to join the board will sometimes follow or they may continue to serve in the role of an advisor.

a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of DEREK PRINCE MINISTRIES (UK) ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants UK, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
DEREK PRINCE MINISTRIES (UK) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold property - Office equipment - 33%
1.5 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
1.9 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

5. Trustees' remuneration and expenses
Neil Cornick received remuneration of £88,676 (2024: £85,626) during the year for services provided as full time UK Director of DPM (UK) and not for his services as a Trustee.
The UK Director’s remuneration is determined by the independent (unconnected) Trustees, with full consideration given to the role's extensive international responsibilities. In addition to leading the UK charity, the Director serves as Chair of the DPM International Council and as a board member for several international DPM offices.
The Trustees recognise that these global roles are integral to the UK function, providing DPM (UK) with essential strategic alignment, shared resources, and coordinated outreach opportunities. By providing this international leadership, the Director ensures the UK charity remains central to a unified mission, maximising the impact of donor funds through collaborative global projects. To maintain total transparency and avoid any conflict of interest, the Director is strictly excluded from all discussions and voting regarding their own remuneration.
Redina Kolaneci provides fundraising services to DPM (UK) through Christian Fundraising Consultancy and received £26,400 (2024: £26,400).
