## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2025**
The trustees, who are also directors, present their report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees who served during the period and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS102), Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Hamsayeh International is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 2 June 2011. New trustees are nominated by existing trustees in conjunction with the CEO and Company Secretary.
## **Objectives and activities**
The object of the charity is to demonstrate the Christian faith in action among the persecuted and spiritually needy from Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan so that they may know the transforming power of God. The main areas of activity are:
1)Outreach 2) Discipleship 3) Church Mobilisation
In planning the activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in December 2008.
## **Activities in the year**
## **OUTREACH**
## **(1) ENGLISH CLASSES**
We continued to offer our English classes provision on Wednesday and Friday mornings (term time only) from the rentable space in Haven Green Baptist church, Ealing. The classes continued to grow this year with approximately 80 on our registers and a reasonable waiting list. Our student body generally was a mixture of asylum seekers and those who were more settled in the area. Over 10 nationalities were represented (majority Iranian), served by a team of 11. The ministry leader was on sabbatical from October to December, but others ably stepped forward.
Practical and pastoral expressions of mercy were varied and frequent as friendship and regular communal meals were offered to the student body through the course of the year. Also, in addition to the standard classes taught over 4 levels an additional reading class from a storybook Bible was offered in English and the
Page 2
average attendance was 6 students.
## **(2) FARSI FRIDAY**
This new initiative was launched in March 2024 and operated on a Friday evening from the premises in Haven Green Baptist Church, Ealing. The rationale behind such a venture was to offer a safe place where Farsi- speakers could enjoy an evening full of games, food, each other’s company and teaching from the Scriptures. Approximately 40-70 attended each session throughout the year and the number of children grew to 20 at times.
## **(3) ONE OFF EVENTS**
A Christmas event was held and a combined NOOROZ (Persian New Year)/ EASTER event was held in March 2025 where 60 Farsi speakers gathered in for an amazing evening. These events have also been hugely successful, and as a result some started attending the new church plant and English classes.
## **(4) THE ARAMESH CHURCH PLANT (NEW)**
After much deliberation, prayer and thought the Aramesh church plant opened its doors on Sunday 5[th] January 2025 after 14 years of ministry in the local area. This has now replaced the Farsi Fellowship which met once a month and offers Farsi speakers an avenue to meet each Sunday to hear the Scriptures preached in their own language.
The format includes a worship service with a Sunday school running simultaneously, in English, mainly for primary school children. Afterwards, the afternoon is concluded with a communal meal where further pastoral care and prayer can be offered.
The Aramesh Church Plant meets in the Salvation Army premises in West Ealing and by March 2025 the numbers had doubled in size.
## **DISCIPLESHIP**
## **HAMDAM COURSE**
This 12-week exploratory course happened twice in the course of this year again, once after the English classes outreach and then as part of the Farsi Friday event.
We rejoice that once more the Gospel has gone out to many for the very first time and on average 60- 70 were in attendance throughout the year.
## **LADIES BIBLE STUDY(NEW)**
From May onwards 15 ladies gathered each Friday afternoon to study the book of Ruth in Haven Green Baptist Church. For many it was the first time to attend a ladies only group and study a book systematically. This session started with a lunch and finished off by very moving prayer times.
## **HAMDAM RADIO**
Hamdam Radio, our internet radio, continued to be a valuable resource as all the content has been specifically tailor-made for the Farsi-speaker. Not only is the Gospel presented in a culturally appropriate way, but discipleship material and a
Page 3
wide array of Christian music and Persian folk songs ensured a varied offering to the listener as it ran 24/7 in Farsi and could be accessed globally. It can be found through the website www.hamdam.co where a user-friendly app can be downloaded for ease of listening on the go.
## **CHURCH MOBILISATION**
## **SPEAKING OPPORTUNITES**
Throughout the year multiple speaking engagements were undertaken in person as well as exhibiting at Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention and Keswick@Portstewart, Northern Ireland.
## **SUPPORT GROUPS**
Currently we have 7 support groups who gather regularly to pray for Hamsayeh and in addition a number are also run by zoom from London to capture a wider audience.
## **FUNDRAISING**
Our two main fundraisers for the year were our Coffee morning and Singalong (organised by our Broughshane and Ballymena support groups respectively). The numbers at both just keep on growing and in the case of the singalong we had to move premises.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The charity had an overall surplus of £24,415 (2024: £8,381). This comprises a surplus of £24,753 (2024: £12,018) in unrestricted funds and a deficit of £338 (2024: £3,637) in restricted funds after transfers between funds. Unrestricted income of £190,447 was higher than the previous year (2024: £164,235). Unrestricted expenditure of £72,514 was lower than the previous year (2024: £142,943 higher) The change in the income and expenditure figures are a result of the setup of the new Aramesh Church plant.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The Directors’ reserves policy is to maintain a free reserve (unrestricted funds excluding any fixed assets or designated funds) of £75,000 in order to cover both temporary cash fluctuations during the year and the risk of annual deficits since the charity is dependent on donations which are inherently uncertain. The free reserves stood at £131,626 at the year end. While this is significantly above the target level of reserves, it is prudent in the current climate to leave free reserves at this level and will provide cover for the charity in the event of an unexpected drop in income.

## **KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES UNDER COMPANY LAW**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them
consistently;
2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **APPROVAL**
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **HAMSAYEH INTERNATIONAL**
## **('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025 on pages 7 to 14 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 to 10.
## **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**
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.

## **HAMSAYEH INTERNATIONAL**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **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.
## **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.
- 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:
- (i) Recoverable gift aid. This 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.
- ii) 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.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest.
- 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.
The cost of raising funds was not significant in 2025 and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
- 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 £500 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:
Radio Studio equipment Over 4 years Office equipment Over 4 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.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **2 Accounting Policies (cont.)**
## 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. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
## 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 are 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.
