EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Our mission is to empower Christians in their vision to share the gospel and see lives transformed through compassion, evangelism and church planting in Eastern Europe.
We do this knowing that:
1. God sees more than we do and is inviting us into that which he sees (John 5:19)
2. He asks us to start with what we have, from where we are (Proverbs 3:5-6) and
3. He will make his ways known (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 103:7)
We do this by working to:
1. Deepen & strengthen European partner relationships to effect change in Europe
2. Inspire and equip mission-focused Christians in the UK
3. Strengthen our foundations so that we can continue to be effective in what God has called us to
Eurovangelism is a Christian charity which supports the local church in Europe in church planting, evangelism,
education, and social care projects. It has been working in Europe since 1965 adapting to the changing
circumstances to best help the local church. Eurovangelism supports over fifty individuals, churches, and
Christian organisations in twelve countries through finance, church partnerships, relationships, practical teams,
networking, and advice.
We are pleased to report that income for the year under review continued at a significantly higher level than in
the years leading up to 2020. This means that we have been able to maintain support to our partners. Many of
these still suffer badly from covid-19 related challenges and are also providing aid and care for victims of the
Ukraine conflict.
We thank God for every one of our partners and supporters, without whom none of this would be possible, and
with whose help we are able to see lives transformed.
Structure, governance and management
Trustees and organisational structure
Eurovangelism is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee with the Charity Commission of
England and Wales (number 1140592) and with Companies House (number 07507682). Eurovangelism is
governed by Articles of Association adopted on 27 January 2011 and operates as Transform Europe Network
(TEN). Our website is: www.ten-uk.org
The Board of Trustees appoints the Chief Executive Officer and new Trustees according to the needs of TEN.
Trustees usually serve up to three terms of four years and receive an induction and ongoing training according
to the needs of TEN and the individual. The Board is responsible for the governance and oversight of TEN and
meets quarterly with occasional strategy meetings and online conferences as needed. Trustees are not paid
for their service in this role, other than reimbursed expenses, and none had any financial interest in any
transaction with TEN. A register of Trustees interests is held to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest,
with the register updated annually. There are no Persons of Significant Control.
The CEO is responsible for implementing the vision and strategy agreed by Trustees and the day to day running
of the organisation. The CEO reports to Trustees on progress and on the projects and partnerships which TEN
supports. The salary of the CEO is set by Trustees based on the responsibilities of the post and benchmarking
with other similar charities.
TEN is a member of the Evangelical Alliance and Global Connections.

EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial review and risk management
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and have been prepared
under the 'small companies' provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard FRS102 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP FRS102) based
thereon.
TEN follows policies and procedures to manage risk and ensure effectiveness, probity and legal and regulatory
compliance, and reviews and updates these as necessary.
The income of TEN comes primarily through donations from individuals and churches, with some from grant-
making organisations and occasional legacies. TEN claims Gift Aid, where possible.
Financial position
TEN’s financial position at 31 March 2023 remains strong but unrestricted expenditure exceeded income in the
year. This is principally the result of spending designated funds set aside for specific purposes. Unrestricted
income was not as high as the previous year, which had some large one-off donations and legacies, but remains
broadly consistent and in line with expectations. Restricted income saw another notable year, with the Crisis
Appeal Fund attracting income of nearly £55,000 as a response to the war in Ukraine and the needs of
Ukrainian refugees, and we also received some large one-off restricted donations and grants for building
projects.
Overall, expenditure was not too dissimilar to recent years, but there was, for a second year running, elevated
spending on charitable activities. This was, in part, related to the recognition of grants payable in full where
they are communicated to recipients without conditions. This area of grant making was reviewed in the year, a
misstatement in the prior year was identified and corrected in regard to this, with the comparative figures
restated in these accounts. Restricted grant expenditure, principally on building projects and also to meet the
needs of Ukrainian refugees was, once again, slightly higher than is typical. Grant making from designated
funds was also significant, with over £70,000 of grant funding being provided. TEN has consistently achieved
very close to a 25:75 split in expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities over the years, but for the
third year running this changed to around a 15:85 split, principally as a result of increased grant expenditure
from restricted and designated funds.
Reserves policy
The Trustee Board keeps under review the need for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not
invested in tangible fixed assets, held as programme related investments, or otherwise designated for a specific
purpose. Currently, to allow TEN to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer for adverse contingencies,
the Trustees’ policy is that such reserves should be maintained at a level of between three and six months of
unrestricted expenditure (including the expenditure on raising funds for restricted projects, met by a transfer
from unrestricted funds).
At 31 March 2023, free reserves were £114,318. The free reserves policy, this year, requires between £61,504
and £123,008, with free reserves held at the year-end within this range. Free reserves had been in excess of
the reserves policy upper limit in recent years, but a plan to reduce this by 31 March 2024 was implemented
and has now been achieved, although this will be monitored ongoing.
Investment policy
A part of the reserves of the Charity is currently invested in a professionally managed Charles Stanley fund,
through their Personal Portfolio Service. This gives exposure to both equity and fixed interest investments, in
accordance with objectives agreed with the Board of Trustees. The basic aim of this investment is to obtain,
over time, modest growth in real terms in the capital value and income stream arising from the underlying
investments, without taking undue risk. The specific objective set by the Trustees is therefore to achieve a
return over rolling 3-year periods modestly in excess of inflation over the corresponding period of time. The
investments and returns are reviewed on a regular basis by the Board.
…2
EUROVANGELISM TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The investment return (net of management fees) achieved over the year to 31 March 2023 was -6.7% (2022:
2.5%) which, when taken with the returns achieved over the preceding 2 financial years, results in a compound
annualised return over the 3-year period of 3.9%. For comparison, the Consumer Price Index (1 month lag) +
2% over the same 3-year period gives a compound annualised rate of 7.4%, which highlights performance
below the Trustees’ objective. Whilst disappointing, this is not unexpected, with inflation reaching heights
unseen in recent years. The Trustees maintain the conviction that a professionally managed fund remains the
best approach to investing those funds that are for the long-term benefit of the charity.
Risk policy
The principal financial risk for TEN is that of receiving insufficient regular income to pay grants to its partners
in continental Europe. We limit this risk by regular communication with donors and actively seeking new
funders, in particular through churches and trust funds. Where there is a Partnership Memorandum of
Understanding between a UK church and partner, it is made clear that the supporting church should aim to
give six months’ notice of any change in financial support. Agreements to grant fund our partners are clear that,
where these are made through the support of specific donors, ongoing grant funding is subject to those donors
continuing to support them. Free reserves are maintained at between three to six months’ unrestricted
expenditure to ensure that TEN can meet its short-term commitments in adverse conditions.
Trustees are aware of other financial risks including possible fraud, money laundering, foreign currency
payments, significant investment losses and inadequate cash flow projections. Regular reviews of the finances
and monitoring of the use to which funds are put by partners are carried out and money transfer systems are
implemented to minimise these risks. The Trustees also regularly review other operational risks and confirm
that they have established systems to manage the significant risks.
Grant making policy
We make grants to partners based on our objects and activities defined further by our strategic plan. Priorities
are reviewed by Trustees and may be changed depending upon circumstances, available funds, and the
perceived effectiveness of their use. A Partners Advisory Group also helps shape these priorities. In line with
strategic objectives, grants will continue to support current partners but will also focus on funding new partners
and new partner ministries. Grants are only made to known partners and those recommended by long standing
and trusted sources.
Trustees have delegated responsibility for grant making from unrestricted funds to the CEO for grants up to a
total of £20,000 in any one year above what has been approved in the budget. Over this limit, grants from
unrestricted funds need approval by a majority of Trustees. Grants for capital projects have the same
authorisation limit.
We recognise the need to take steps to prevent the use of grants for money laundering, terrorist activity, bribery
and for purposes other than those for which they were given. To this end, Trustees hold TEN’s partners
accountable for the funds, resources, aid or training they have received and require them to confirm receipt of
funds, produce regular reports of their activities and use of funding. Visits are also undertaken to see, firsthand,
how partners who receive funding or other help from TEN make use of it. Furthermore, professional
development of staff helps ensure due diligence in relation to funds being sent overseas.
All our partners understand that the grants, training, or gifts in kind are to be used for the benefit of the
community they serve and are to be freely available to all sections of the community regardless of race, religion,
or background. TEN continues to roll out new written agreements to clarify the roles and responsibilities of both
TEN and each partner.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Objectives and activities
The objects of TEN are:
“To advance the Evangelical Christian Faith particularly, but not exclusively, within Europe by the printing and
distribution of the Holy Scriptures and Christian Literature, and by such Evangelical work as the Trustees at
their absolute discretion see fit.”
We believe the most effective way for TEN to achieve its objects is to find and support local churches,
individuals and organisations who have a vision to make Jesus and the love of God known through compassion,
evangelism and church planting and are actively practising this. We support these partners by encouraging
them through online communication, visits, conferences, building relationships with UK churches and
individuals, and networking, as well as through grants, teaching and training, gifts in kind and other resources.
-
(i)Compassion projectsincluding relief of poverty, anti-trafficking, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, abuse rehabilitation, food aid, emergency aid, disaster relief, work with children, support for Roma people and other programmes for the benefit of the community. TEN’s support helps our partners in showing God’s love in these practical ways. Literacy classes, general education, correspondence courses, and vocational training (such as hairdressing, sewing and IT) are examples of such projects. These activities enable participants to break out of the cycle of poverty and discover that they are valued people of worth and dignity just as God has shown by his love. -
(ii)Evangelismincluding one off events, campaigns, publicity, resources to communicate the message of Jesus Christ and education projects for both children and adults. Alpha courses, Christianity Explored courses, and summer camps are examples of such projects. -
(iii)Church planting, Discipleship and developmentincluding pioneering churches and groups in new areas, growing and developing existing churches, providing financial support for pastors, leadership training, theological studies, other training and education, and providing resources such as Bibles, other literature and supporting other church projects. This includes making grants towards the purchase or building of public places of worship and training facilities.
Activities for the public benefit
The Trustees reviewed TEN’s work regarding public benefit on 11 February 2023 with reference to the Charity
Commission guidance and agreed that TEN’s activities continued to comply. The next section on achievements
and performance outlines a representative selection of the work enabled by TEN. Please go to our website at
www.ten-uk.org for more information on the full range of our work and stories from our partners.
Achievements and performance
2022-23 has seen challenges to our work continue. These have included the outbreak of war in late February
2022, between Russia and Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis that has affected the whole of Europe. However,
we have continued to maintain a strong performance across all areas of work. Visits to partners continued to
step up and we made visits to supporters and churches in the UK. This year has seen trips with small teams
supporting partner projects resume. Online tools are now well embedded in our modus operandi to maintain
communication and connection between TEN, our partners and our supporters. The technology continues to
bring efficiency and significant benefits. We are able to operate in a more responsive manner, gather
information more easily and it has continued to strengthen relationships with our beneficiaries and supporters.
An example would be that we are now able to use technology to establish new partner relationships and review
and monitor ongoing relationships, alongside visits to partners. This makes the work of supporting partners
more dynamic and enables us to respond to needs in a timelier way.

EUROVANGELISM TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
In line with our Strategic Plan the following are examples of our achievements in 2022-23. Further information
can be found on our website and quarterly magazine.
Deepening & strengthening European partner relationships to effect change in Europe
-
We have continued to invite new leaders in the Balkans and Eastern Europe to join the TEN network. to the end of March 2023. During 2022-23 we have welcomed another five members into our network. -
We continue to work with partners to strengthen their foundations and financial sustainability. We are encouraging partners to consider how they can become more financially sustainable and less dependent on outside funding. Examples of this include using match funding to support projects and mixed funding support (loan/grant) to help a partner complete the refurbishment of an apartment to help generate income for their work. -
Our Partners’ Advisory Group (PAG) continues to meet with our CEO and Trustees. The PAG gives partners the opportunity to feed into the work of TEN so that we can ensure that we are relevant, understanding of the complexities of their situations, and can be effective in the support we give and how we give it. -
We continue to put Partnership Memorandum’s of Understanding in place with partners as part of our financial and ministry practice due diligence. -
In relation to safeguarding TEN has continued to support partners towards better practice. This has included the organisation and delivery of training by a trainer based in the Balkans. We continue to review progress and communicate expectations to beneficiaries. We continue to deliver the actions agreed as a result of the audit carried out. -
We have an ongoing focus on support for Roma communities in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. During 2022-23 this included the provision of running water in one community in Romania and support to fund teachers in a Roma education project in Bulgaria, amongst other projects. -
Partner visits were made to Bulgaria, Romania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Inspiring and equipping mission-focused Christians in the UK
-
We are continuing to develop our use of social media with Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube as part of drawing in Christians of all ages and reporting on our work. -
Our regular online prayer meetings are drawing together supporters in the UK with partners in Eastern Europe and increasing sharing and understanding. -
Regular church and supporter visits continue. Including an intentional and planned approach to meeting major donors. -
TEN attended Bangor Worldwide Mission Convention in August 2022. -
Continued development of connections in Northern Ireland, working with our local volunteer representative. -
Ongoing development of and support for our volunteer team of representatives around the UK. -
We have launched a study resource called For the Nations to be used by churches and groups to help them understand God’s plan for the world and enable groups to connect with those in other countries. -
We have delivered TENteach with a team of five volunteers supporting the teaching of English online in communities in Eastern Europe. This is to support and resource our partners as they serve their local communities. Over 30 students from across the region have attended this programme. -
We delivered our Harvest for the Hungry 30th Anniversary in 2022, including a launch event, significant promotion and church speaking engagements. The campaign raised over £43,000 towards the work of our partner food aid programmes. -
We planned new team trip opportunities that will be delivered in late Spring and Summer 2023.

EUROVANGELISM TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Continuing to support UK churches partnered with churches in the Balkans and Eastern Europe and developing relationships to develop partnerships.
Strengthening our foundations to continue to be effective
-
We have recruited two new staff members for the roles of Mission Engagement Worker and Finance Administrator. -
Our Mission Engagement worker has been helping us engage with a younger generation through student gatherings, visiting churches and planning of team trips. -
Our Finance Administrator supports the function of the Finance Manager, and we are now delivering monthly reconciliations. This has helped the efficiency with which we manage the income and expenditure of the charity. -
We have continued to invest in professional development of the staff team. Staff have taken part in courses related to fundraising, communication tools such as MailChimp, safeguarding, and health and safety (first aid, fire safety and fire extinguisher training). -
We have continued to work hard to sustain funding levels. This has included trust and individual supporter fundraising. We wrote to all regular donors in early 2023 as a result of which we saw several donors increase their support. -
Staff continue to work in a hybrid way between the home and the TEN Office. This is now well embedded and is working well. -
Supporter and UK church meetings continue to be a key part of our work to maintain relationships and develop new connections. Our individual donor base remains stable. We have seen an increase in the number of donors; this is primarily due to the support for our Crisis Fund, following the war in Ukraine. -
Consideration for our environmental responsibility will be the subject of increased focus within the next strategic cycle. -
We have worked hard to build meaningful partnerships with other organisations. This includes ECM, Worldshare and ICM.
Achievements and outcomes in Europe
Many of the activities of our partners and our support are designed to bear fruit over the medium term. These
are a few examples of what has been achieved and some of the outcomes:
-
TEN has run fundraising campaigns in relation to the war in Ukraine, Harvest for the Hungry, WinterHelp and the Gift Catalogue. Over the two years to 31 March 2023 TEN has raised just over £150,000 in response to the war in Ukraine and by summer 2023 had spent over £140,000 in enabling partners to support those affected by the war. -
TEN has sent funding response to the war in Ukraine for transport, food, and shelter in nations receiving and hosting refugees. TEN has also sent significant funds to partners who are taking aid into Ukraine. -
TEN partners provided food aid for over 2000 people during 2022-23. -
TEN partners supported hundreds of the most vulnerable in Eastern Europe and the Balkans including Roma communities, refugees, children in need, drug addicts, and homeless people. -
TEN provided funds for several thousand Bibles and pieces of Christian literature. -
TEN partners delivered camps that served over 2000 children and young people. -
TEN supported the building, purchase, or renovation of four churches or Christian projects.

EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
-
TEN has made regular support grants to 36 Christian leaders and occasional grants to a further 20+ Christian leaders to enable them to continue demonstration and sharing the love of Christ in their communities in many ways. -
TEN has made grants to churches and Christian organisations, supporting them in works as wide ranging as after-school clubs, drug rehabilitation, hospice care, education, soup kitchens, training new leaders, youth and children’s work, distribution of food parcels, refugee support and anti-trafficking projects. -
We added five new members to the TEN network: three in N. Macedonia, one in Bulgaria and one in Kosovo.
Volunteers
The Trustees are grateful to the many volunteers across the UK who give time and energy to help TEN and
our partners. This work ranges from administrative tasks, IT development, prayer, work with partners such as
in summer camps, practical work, and evangelism to relief work. Volunteer Ambassadors make occasional field
trips on our behalf and speak in UK churches about the work. There are currently 15 Ambassadors from around
the UK. Some Ambassadors are also Country Champions who take a special interest in understanding and
supporting partners in a specific country, maintaining contact, and visiting them. In addition, we have volunteers
who help ad hoc as needed with events and fundraising and 5 volunteers to support the TENteach English
programme. In total we have 38 active volunteers and a team of 43 people who have committed to pray and
receive a bi-weekly prayer email. The total number of volunteers is 81.
Future activities
During 2023-24 we will continue to operate in line with the strategic themes outlined in the current strategy.
They can be summarised as follows:
Deepening & strengthening European partner relationships to effect change in Europe
Key work will be to draw in and support some new younger partners; help partners strengthen their foundations
and sustainability; help develop and empower new ministries and to empower partners in shaping TEN.
Inspiring and equipping mission-focused Christians in the UK
In the UK we will be working to draw in a new audience; engage Christians of all ages in our mission; and to
enable increased connections with partners. A new team member was appointed in late August 2022 to support
working towards this strategic aim.
Strengthening our foundations to continue to be effective
Within TEN we will look to develop the staff and volunteer team; create a new fundraising plan; grow the support
base and strengthen our relationships with supporters.
During 2023-24 we will be reviewing our current strategy and developing a new one for 2024-2027.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EUROVANGELISM (‘THE COMPANY’)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity’s
accounts as 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
Since the Company’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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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).

1 Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for investments which have been included at fair value and 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) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) or Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined under FRS 102. The presentation currency is pounds sterling.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared on the gross/direct basis, as permitted by the Charities SORP. Cash has been defined as cash in hand and deposited with the bank or accessible from online accounts, but does not include cash held by the investments manager as part of the investments portfolio.
(b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, despite the significant uncertainty caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and now the geopolitical developments surrounding the war in Ukraine. Whilst the Trustees expect there to be an impact on the charity’s operations and reserves in the coming months and years, the charity currently believes it has sufficient reserves to be able to meet these challenges.
(c) Fund accounting
Unrestricted general funds , also known as free reserves, are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
Designated funds form part of unrestricted funds and have been identified as being for particular purposes by the Trustees. They are not restricted and can be transferred to general funds at any time at the discretion of the Trustees. The purpose and likely timing of the use of each designated fund is set out in note 20 to the financial statements.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund along with the cost of raising and administering such funds. The purpose and use of those restricted funds with income greater than £10,000 are set out in note 20 to the financial statements.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
(d) Income
All income is included in the SOFA when the the charity is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and receipt is probable. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be spent in a future accounting period.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of:
the date on which the charity is aware that probate has been granted;
the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made; or
when a distribution is received from the estate.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Grants, including grants for fixed assets, are recognised within the accounts as they become receivable. Grants received in the accounting period in respect of future accounting periods are deferred until those periods. All material grants are disclosed in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
Gift Aid relief on eligible donations is recognised on an accruals basis at the same point as the original donation.
Donated services, facilities or goods are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services, facilities or goods are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain the services, facilities or goods of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, no amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
(e) Expenditure and basis of allocation of costs
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as and when a legal or constructive obligation arises.
The cost of raising funds comprise the direct costs of fundraising; through printed materials, attending events and online promotion of the charity as well as staff time spent directly on this activity.
Expenditure on charitable activites is principally grants payable to partner organisations, although staff time spent directly on this activity is also included as well as other direct costs. Grants payable are included in the SOFA when approved by the Trustees and communicated to the other organisation. The value of such grants unpaid at the year end is accrued. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued but are noted as financial commitments if material.
Support costs encompass all expenditure that is not wholly and directly attributable to either raising funds or charitable activities. Support costs are allocated to expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities on the basis of the cost of staff time directly attributable to each of these activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. They are included within support costs and allocated as described above.
(f) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. All differences are taken to the SOFA.

(g) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets of greater than £500 are stated at cost and depreciation is provided at the following annual rates, in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Computer equipment - 20% straight line Office equipment - 20% straight line
No depreciation is charged in the month of acquisition but is charged in full in the month of disposal.
No provision for depreciation has been made for freehold property as it is the view of the Trustees that the estimated residual value of each property is not materially different from the carrying value. The Trustees undertake an impairment review whenever they identify any indicators that impairment may have occurred.
(h) Financial investments
Listed investments are stated at market value at the Balance Sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
Unlisted investments are all stated at cost less allowance for impairment. The Trustees undertake an impairment review whenever they identify any indicators that impairment may have occurred.
(i) Programme related investments
Programme related investments consist of charitable loans, which are provided interest free. These investments are carried at cost less any provision for impairment less any repayments received.
(j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(k) 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.
(l) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(m) Pension costs
The charity contributes a fixed percentage of basic salary to the personal pension schemes of all employees, which are defined contribution schemes. Pension costs charged in the SOFA represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year.

Just under 24% of expenditure on raising funds for restricted projects has been met by a transfer of £11,153 from free reserves, ensuring project recipients receive as much as possible from restricted donations. With no more than 15 percent of any particular restricted donation going towards support costs, as publicised.
There was also a transfer from restricted funds to the charitable loans (carrying value) designated fund of £2,455. A restricted donation was given for the purpose of enabling a concessionary loan for a partner in Europe. With the donation's purpose having been fulfilled through the provision of a concessionary loan during the year, it then became part of the unrestricted funds of the charity and is included in the accounts as a transfer.
Description and purpose of designated funds:
Tangible fixed assets
This fund represents the net book value of tangible fixed assets held by the charity. Disposal gains are shown under the income and gains heading and expenditure and losses represents the depreciation charge for the year, along with disposal losses. Transfers represent additions and any proceeds from disposals during the year.
Charitable loans (carrying value)
This fund represents the carrying value of charitable loans held by the charity, as disclosed in note 15. These consist of concessionary loans made to partners in development of their long-term financial sustainability. Transfers are made to the fund as and when new loans are disbursed, and from the fund to the charitable loans (available) designated fund as repayments are made.
Charitable loans (available)
Arising from a desire to support partners in strengthening their foundations and financial sustainability, £50,000 has been designated for that purpose, through the provision of concessionary loans. This fund is the balance of £50,000 less the loans held in the charitable loans (carrying value) designated fund.
Partner support
This fund is being used in delivering the strategy related to partners and our UK ministry. It allows us to meet any needs that might arise within our partners' communities (including hardships the partners themselves may face), support our partners in any projects they may intend to run, and help us raise funds to these ends. Spent as a mixture of grants to partners, new project development, and growing our UK support base, it is anticipated this fund will have been fully spent by the end of March 2024.
New ministries
These funds are designated for use to engage current and new connections looking to develop ministries in the area of human trafficking, refugee work, environmental issues, domestic violence or other new types of ministry. It is anticipated this fund will have been fully spent by the end of March 2025.
Description and purpose of restricted funds:
The income funds of the charity include restricted funds comprising unexpended balances of donations and grants held on trust and to be applied for specific purposes. These restricted funds are the result of the charity inviting donations or gifts for a particular project or situation. Some of these may be short term in nature but others will represent a longer-term relationship with a particular partner or project.
The table on the previous page summarises the movement of restricted funds into three broad categories, details of specific restricted funds, identified as having income greater than £10,000, are shown in the table on the next page.

27 Prior year restatement
There has been an £89,937 prior year adjustment to the brought forward funds due to a misstatement in grants payable in the prior year accounts. Development of the charity's operations over recent years has meant that a more formalised approach to making grant offers has sometimes included specific terms that give rise to a constructive obligation. The resulting liabilities were missed in the preparation of the prior year accounts, but this is corrected in the comparative figures in these accounts, highlighted by the use of '(Restated)' in various headings, where applicable.
The above restatement has the following effect on the comparative figures:
