## **A PASSION FOR LIFE**
## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 September 2020 to 31 August 2021. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
A Passion for Life was a nationwide initiative to draw together local evangelical churches to plan a variety of missional initiatives in Easter 2010 and again in 2014. The trust was established to administer and facilitate these initiatives.
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)'.
## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
In light of the encouragements and spread of the 2014 mission, the trustees have been encouraged by churches from across the UK to plan and prepare for another nationwide UK mission initiative. After consultation with regional supporters of the UK mission a strategy of localised events has been proposed. The trustees have schedule the mission for Easter 2022 in order to give appropriate time to develop the right approach and resources to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
## **c. Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit**
In producing their assessment of the benefit to the public provided by the charity, the trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the Company**
In alignment with the charitable object to advance the Christian Faith for public benefit, A Passion for Life was brought out of dormancy during this financial year to serve churches across United Kingdom and Ireland, even as they themselves seek to advance the Christian faith. The vision for A Passion for Life was recast as ‘to see the gospel of Christ proclaimed in every community to every generation across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, by:
- _building confidence in bible-centred, Christ proclaiming evangelism_
- _inspiring, encouraging and resourcing all-year round evangelism_
- _stimulating earnest and united prayer for the advance of the gospel_
- _coming together for times of nationwide mission_
- _stirring up our churches to an ever-increasing passion to be used of God to bring people to new life in Christ._
In the Summer of 2020, a small delivery team was recruited and A Passion for Life was relaunched in September 2020 with a view to calling churches to a nationwide mission in the Spring of 2022 facilitated by resources provide by A Passion for Life. There were two phases to the activities of the charity covered by this report:
## _Phase 1 – Consultation (Sep to Dec 2020)_
With church leaders having all become familiar with using video-conferencing platforms due to the global pandemic, we were able to use virtual meetings to consult with church leaders across the four nations of the UK in a wide variety of ministry contexts. (We were subsequently encouraged to extend the consultations to include church leaders in the Republic of Ireland (ROI). This eventually led to us forming a partnership with a group called, ‘What’s the story?’ that was already planning a mission in the ROI for the same period.) Greatly encouraged by the response as we shared the vision, the feedback we received has been invaluable. It has subsequently helped greatly in the development of a flexible suite of resources that would prove to be genuinely useful in culturally diverse church contexts.
_Phase 2 – Relationship-building, Infrastructure, Mission Culture and Resource Preparation (Jan to Aug 2021)_ Formal and informal meetings with church leaders continued during this period helping to build relationships that would further the work of A Passion for Life. At the same time contractors were appointed to work on website development, branding and communication channels. This phase saw the launch of a whole new A Passion for Life brand and website and progress in our engagement with church leaders through personal contact, webinars, blog articles, podcasts and social media channels. The emphasis during this phase was on helping church leaders with developing and growing the mission culture of their churches. A large, diverse and representative Steering Group was appointed to review resources and advise and guide the Management Committee and the Delivery Team in the work.
Work also proceeded on the design and production of a suite of Personal Evangelism Training Resources. By the end of August 2021 a suite of 21 video-based Modules were nearing completion, ready for launch in September 2021. The videos include not only the primary training material delivered by gifted and experienced speakers but dozens of testimonies from everyday believers illustrating the teaching. The presentation of the downloadable modules on the website is designed to help church leaders find and select the modules that will be most valuable in their context. These modules have subsequently been used in churches across the UK and Ireland.
By the end of the period covered by this report, many hundreds of churches were engaging with A Passion for Life and momentum was gathering towards the mission in the Spring of 2022. All this in spite of the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions. The Trustees are very thankful to the Lord for all that was achieved and especially for the hard work, dedication and commitment of the small delivery team.

**A PASSION FOR LIFE (A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **Financial review**
## **a. Reserves policy**
The trustees have considered the Trust's need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. It is their intention to pay out funds for the proposed 2022 mission in accordance with the objectives of the mission where possible. For this reason the trustees feel it prudent to have cash reserves of a minimum of three months average operating costs including, but not limited to, sufficient funds to pay three months of the monies owed by way of staffing costs. At the balance sheet date the reserves held were sufficient to cover 3.4 months of operating costs, which is in line with the policy.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
A Passion for Life is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of A Passion for Life ('the Company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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 Company'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 Company'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 Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**

A Passion for Life 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.
## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
## **2.3 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.4 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
