Aim and Purposes
Our aim as follows:
Our purpose is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ by partnering with Pastor Mr Titus K. Pirabakaran, leaders and members of the church. Our mission is to equip all with the Word of God and reach out to the surrounding communities in UK and Sri-Lanka with Love of Jesus by exhibiting faith in action.
Recruitment
The charity reviews current skill sets in leadership meetings quarterly and identifies gaps and potential new roles that are required for the church (Leaders, Sunday School Teachers etc.). Through prayers and interviews, candidates are selected, and a decision is made collectively with trustees and leadership team.
Operating Highlights
United Kingdom
In planning the activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Pg. 3
BIRC Annual 2020 Summar y
Regular services at 4 branches in UK on Sundays are continuing to grow. Homeless outreach by our youths continue to impact the lives of many on the streets of London. Sunday school curriculum was established and shared across all branches. BIRC took part in the Samaritan’s operations Christmas child, generating over 75 shoe boxes.
Sri-Lanka
The charity continues to partner with ministries in Sri-Lanka and, during the year, the charity helped fund the following:
-
Financial support to 10 widowed families
-
Bethel free nursery continue to provide teaching for 20 children from under privileged background.
-
Four ministers working with the community providing pastoral care support for families.
During the lockdown we were able to help those who were vulnerable, single parents and the elderly with food packages and essential items. We were also able to donate wheelchairs, motor bikes and essential items for a shop to keep going. The motorbike was given to a girl with a disability to enable her to go to school.
Looking Ahead
Time to Build Campaign will continue – eventually it is hoped that the charity will be able to buy a building, which would help us increase our outreach into the community. In Sri-Lanka, we are looking to help expand the free nursery with a new building plan.
On 3 February 2020 the charity changed its name from Bethel Missionary Church to Bethel International Revival Church.

Financial Review & Reserves Polic y
Financial Review
During the year income decreased by £32,465 to £85,477. This reduction in income was largely due to the pandemic when, for a large part of the year, the charity could not meet physically and there were no Sunday collections. This year’s income includes grants totaling £14,519 from the Government’s Job Retention Scheme.
Largely as a result of the pandemic expenditure fell by £35,228, to £69,483. This included grants totaling £11,399 (2019: £11,681) given to support ministries and help the poor in Sri Lanka.
As a result, the charity has reported a surplus for the year of £15,994 (2019: £13,231) and the charity’s net assets have increased by £15,994 to £61,789. This included cash of £52,318, of which £32,746 is unrestricted.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have established a policy whereby free reserves (which the trustees define to be unrestricted cash) is no less than £15,000, which equates to about two months’ of usual unrestricted expenditure. At the year-end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £32,746 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. On 3 February 2020 the charitable company changed its name from Bethel Missionary Church UK to Bethel International Revival Church Ltd.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered how Covid-19 might affect forecasts.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
b) Income continued
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods and services and supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from the church retreat.
Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020
2 Accounting Policies continued
d) 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. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment Over 3 to 7 years Motor vehicles Over 5 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).
i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
- j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
