EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Our mission is to work with Christians in their vision to share the gospel and see lives transformed through compassion, evangelism and church planting in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
We do this knowing that:
-
God sees more than we do and is inviting us into that which he sees (John 5:19)
-
He asks us to start with what we have, from where we are (Proverbs 3:5-6) and
-
He will make his ways known (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 103:7)
We do this by working to:
-
Deepen & strengthen European partner relationships to effect change in Europe
-
Inspire and equip mission-focused Christians in the UK
-
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 60 individuals, churches, and Christian organisations in eleven countries through finance, church partnerships, relationships, practical teams, networking, and advice.
We are pleased to report that income for the year under review grew when compared to the previous year by 18% largely due to a significant legacy as well as increases in income from churches and other grants. This means that we have been able to maintain support and even increase some areas of support to some of our partners. Some of our partners continue to serve those affected by the war in Ukraine through work to support refugees. All our partners have been impacted by the inflationary pressures of the last few years and TEN has reviewed support to help us address this. Expenditure has matched income in-year and although down on last year, this is largely due to exceptions such as capital projects awarded funding in the prior year.
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

TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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 Global Connections.
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, grant-making organisations and churches, with occasional legacies. TEN claims Gift Aid, where possible.
Financial position
The financial position and performance of TEN is broadly in line with the expectations of the Trustees, based on their planning and monitoring of income and expenditure throughout the year. Unrestricted expenditure was below income in the year, this was the result of a large legacy. There was a surplus in unrestricted free reserves, demonstrating the stability of the charity’s operations. The trustees have established a new designated fund for future partner funding.
Unrestricted income was higher than the previous year, with donations from legacy income, churches, grant income and investment income all increasing. Restricted income remains around the level anticipated and continues to be significantly higher than unrestricted income as the charity seeks to attract interest in specific projects and partners.
Charitable activities expenditure was lower this year, with grants down by £168,466. This was largely because of grants relating to building purchases or development and significant funds sent in support of ministries in Albania in the prior year. Other direct costs were higher than last year due to costs related to our Partner Conference run in April 2024. Otherwise, expenditure was similar to recent years and is in line with expectations. Staff costs were as expected and only slightly higher than 2023-24.
TEN has consistently achieved very close to a 25:75 split in expenditure on raising funds and charitable activities over many years, but this changed to around a 15:85 split in more recent years. This year the split has been 10:90 for the year ended 31 March 2025, due to increased grants and expenditure on charitable activities such as the Partner Conference. This represents a smaller than expected level of funding spent on fundraising and we anticipate the split slowly moving towards 15:85 over the next couple of years. The Trustees continue to monitor this and are committed to stewarding the charity’s resources well and supporting partners as effectively as possible.
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).
On 31 March 2025, free reserves were £80,000. The free reserves policy, this year, requires between £62,880 and £125,760, with free reserves held at the year-end within this range.

EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
The investments portfolio held with Charles Stanley market value at 1 April 2024 was £122,085. At 31 March it was £122,450. This equates to a return 0.3% (net of management fees) achieved over the year to 31 March 2025. The return on investment was 9% in 2024 and -6.7% in 2023.
Over the last five years the portfolio return has been 25%. Over the same period UK inflation based on the Consumer Price Index has been 28%. This means that the fund is not achieving the aim of a return modestly in excess of inflation. This is to be expected in light of high inflation during the last five years. The board continue to monitor our investment portfolio and its performance.
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. Where funding is restricted partners are required to request funds with details of how the funds will be used. They are required to confirm receipt of funds, produce regular reports of their activities and use of funding. Visits are also undertaken to see, firsthand,
…3
EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
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, small team trips, and networking, as well as through grants, teaching and training, gifts in kind and other resources.
-
(i) Compassion projects including relief of poverty, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, abuse rehabilitation, food aid, emergency aid, disaster relief, work with refugees, 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, rehabilitation work with addicts, social work, hospice care, correspondence courses, and vocational training (such as 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) Evangelism including one off events, campaigns, publicity, Christian literature, Bibles and 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 development including 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 supporting new leaders, 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 26 February 2025 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
During 2024-25 we continued to implement our strategy for 2024-27. The strategic document sets out our priorities in relation to our work with our partners and supporters. The current strategy focuses TEN on the strengthening and development of those areas of work. This will include a particular focus on raising new leaders, building partner financial sustainability and strengthening partner ministries. The overriding theme to guide us over the next few years is ‘To go where there is Kingdom momentum’.
TEN’s work this year reflects a deepening commitment to holistic ministry—meeting physical needs, sharing the gospel, and growing sustainable churches and leaders. The impact is evident in transformed lives, strengthened communities, and a growing culture of resilience among partners. This year we continued to deliver our strategic objectives set out in our 2024-2027 strategy. Below is a summary of work and impact of the work of our partners in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.

Transform Europe Network (TEN) – UK Engagement Summary
During 2024–25, Transform Europe Network (TEN) has taken significant steps to reinforce its organisational foundations, guided by the newly launched 2024–27 strategy. This strategic shift builds on the achievements of the previous cycle and focuses on deepening impact, sustainability, and engagement.
Strengthening Church Partnerships
Over the past year, TEN has continued to deepen relationships with churches across the UK, fostering meaningful partnerships that support gospel work in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. These partnerships have been instrumental in enabling compassion-led outreach, evangelism, and church planting initiatives. Notably, new church partnerships were formed, and existing ones strengthened through shared mission, prayer, and practical support.
Mobilising Teams and Visits
TEN facilitated multiple team trips, enabling UK Christians to engage directly with partner ministries abroad. These visits have not only encouraged local believers but also inspired UK participants with firsthand experiences of faith in action. The reciprocal nature of these visits has helped build trust and mutual understanding, reinforcing the value of long-term partnership.
Promoting Awareness and Engagement
TEN has actively promoted its work through a variety of media channels. The quarterly magazine and social media continues to be a key tool for storytelling and impact sharing, reaching a wide audience with updates and testimonies from the field.
Social media platforms have been used strategically to highlight partner stories, campaign updates, and prayer needs, while targeted email communications have kept supporters informed and engaged.
TEN is celebrating 60 years of ministry this year. As part of that we ran a conference at the end of March 2025 to which over 120 supporters came. The conference featured speakers from our partner nations and reports on the work of TEN.

EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
During August 2025 we again attended the Bangor Worldwide Convention in Norther Ireland. To celebrate our 60[th] anniversary we had a speaker from Serbia, speaking at churches and the convention.
In addition, TEN has made several in-person visits to churches and supporters across the UK. These visits have been vital in reconnecting with the wider TEN family, sharing vision, and encouraging ongoing support
Campaigns and Fundraising
TEN ran several successful campaigns including “Harvest for the Hungry,” “WinterHelp,” and the “Gift Catalogue,” which collectively raised significant funds to support partners deliver social programmes. These campaigns raised over £60k between them.
Since running our Partner conference in April 2024 we have seen the launch of three new church partnerships between UK churches and partner churches.
Relationships with trust funds continued to develop and TEN was able to raise funds from one new trust and increase our funding through trust funds overall.
Investing in the team and new technologies
Internally, TEN has prioritised capacity-building through staff and volunteer development, the creation of a new fundraising plan, and efforts to grow its support base. TEN has appointed a freelance fundraiser.
During this year we have invested heavily in Cyber Security. This has been to strengthen both the technological firewall and the human firewall. To that end we have
-
Invested in a new IT security package with our IT supplier.
-
Audited our cyber security to identify potential weaknesses.
-
Invested in cyber security insurance.
-
Put all staff and relevant volunteers through training to both raise awareness of the issues and enable them to play their part in keeping our data and resources safe.
To enhance operational effectiveness, TEN continues to invest in tools such as Salesforce and QuickBooks Online, improving donor management and financial reporting
Online platforms like Teams have been used to host prayer meetings and partner updates, strengthening communication and community across our region.
We have continued to use technology to enhance our work. This year has seen a significant step up in our use of AI technology. Specifically, it has been used to help with administrative tasks, research, minute taking for online meetings and recording how-to videos related to the financial areas of our work.
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 on 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. The total number of volunteers is 75.
Future activities
During 2025-26 we will operate to meet the objectives set out in our new 2024-27 strategy. As stated above these are building on the last strategic cycle. They can be summarised as follows:

EUROVANGELISM
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Supporting partner ministries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans
Key work will be to draw in and support some new younger partners, women, and Roma leaders; help partners strengthen their foundations and sustainability; help develop and empower new ministries and to empower partners in shaping TEN.
Developing the support and participation of mission-focused Christians in the UK
In the UK we will be working to continue to raise new interest, support and participation, engaging Christians of all ages in our mission and strengthening and increased connections with partners. Key to meeting this objective is to continue our work to increase participation of individuals, churches, volunteers and small teams in our work.
Strengthening our foundations to continue to be effective
Within TEN we will look to develop the staff and volunteer team through professional development; develop our fundraising plan; grow the support base and strengthen our relationships with supporters. Following a review of our data security we have invested significantly in strengthening both our IT and human firewall. We have done this through a process of implementing stronger IT safeguards, raising awareness of the risks and training. During the year we have reviewed and strengthened our Financial Controls Policy. Furthermore, we continue with a process of ongoing development with our Customer Relationship Management systems. With the departure of our Finance Manager in February 2025 we temporarily engaged our accountants to take on more of the work on our management accounts for quarterly board meetings. We have appointed a Senior Finance and Operations Manager in Autumn 2025. This full-time role is a significant step up in our investment to strengthen our financial and operational foundations. Furthermore, we have appointed part-time administrative support to help the work to report on partners and their ministries. Our new strategy will be reviewed through quarterly board meetings, staff line management and the management of the CEO.

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 at bank, in hand, and short term deposits of not more than 3 months for the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows. The Balance sheet additionally includes short term deposits of not more than one year within cash at bank, in hand, and on short term deposit.
(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 ongoing uncertainty and inflationary pressures arising from the geopolitical crisis in Europe, ongoing uncertainty the Middle East, along with the impact of current US tariff policy. Whilst the Trustees expect there to be a continuing 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 21 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 21 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.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies (continued)
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.
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 exchange and translation differences are taken to the SOFA.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
(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 the 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.
(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) 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.
(l) Pension costs
The charity contributes to a defined contribution pension plan on behalf of its eligible employees. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

At 31 March 2025 a constructive obligation existed between the charity and one of its partners for a grant to enable the purchase of a building. It is probable that the grant will be made in between 1 and 5 years but the partner needs to find a suitable property. An estimate of the settlement amount can be made because the amount intended to be given as a grant has been communicated to the partner, which is approximately equal to an amount of restricted income already received. However, the exact amount of the property and, therefore, the grant amount to be paid is uncertain and will not be in pounds sterling so can only be estimated.

Transfers:
15 percent of any particular restricted donation is used to cover support costs, as publicised. The transfers relate to the movement of funds from restricted to unrestricted following the disbursement funds restricted for charitable loans meeting their restriction. Loan repayments are then transferred to unrestricted funds.
£12,844 represents a restricted donation 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 any 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 was initially anticipated this fund would have been fully spent by the end of March 2024. Whilst a significant amount of this fund has been spent over the last few years, the Trustees have reviewed the fund and now anticipate it will be fully spent by between the end of March 2027 and March 2029.
New ministries
These funds are designated for use to engage current and new connections looking to develop ministries in the areas of human trafficking, refugee work, environmental issues, domestic violence or other new types of ministry. It was initially anticipated this fund would be fully spent by the end of March 2025. In light of the Trustees' review of all the charity's designated funds, it is now anticipated it will be fully spent by between the end of March 2027 and March 2029.
Future Partner Projects
This fund will allow TEN to respond to the project developments of current partners.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
28 Contingent liabilities
Some grant commitments made by TEN to partners are open-ended. These are ongoing as long as funding is in place each time a grant is due to be paid. The charity considers there to be a constructive obligation that exists in such cases (either through a formal, written communication or informal, verbal commuication and precedent) but the amount of the obligation cannot be estimated reliably because it is not possible to determine how long the commitment will last and, therefore, the amount being committed. As a result, no liability is recognised in the financial statements, instead the existence of a probable, material contingent liability is noted here.
The intention is that such commitments are to be fully or partly funded from anticipated future income, with this being the decisive factor in the length of the commitment. Once changes to open-ended commitments crystalise and they become definitive, or should a reasonable estimate of the contingency become possible, these are recognised in the financial statements as grants payable within the relevant timeframe.
To give an understanding of the level of these ongoing but undetermined commitments, in the year ended 31 March 2025 the following grant amounts were paid under such commitments: £74,620 from restricted funds and £18,391 from unrestricted funds.
A cyber fraud incident occurred earlier this year, whereby a loss was suffered by one of the Charity's Payment Services Providers ( PSP ). On the basis that the relevant PSP is seeking reimbursement of its loss from the Charity, legal advice has been sought, and the situation is being dealt with appropriately. The Charity Commission and Action Fraud have been made aware of the situation. As the matter is ongoing, the financial impact on the Charity is not yet known.
