## **Charity Ukraine Christian Partnership Annual Report 2022**
**Ukraine Christian Partnership** (Charity 1144824) is constituted by a Declaration of Trust and registered at 5 Beaconsfield Gardens, Claygate, Esher, Surrey, KT10 0PX.
**The trustees** during the year were:
Mr Andrew Tarcy Chair Mr David Darling Treasurer Mr Timothy Abbott Prof Andrew Cope Mrs Jennifer Green Mrs Carol Tubbs Dr Michael Webb-Peploe Mr Ian Vale
**It is run** on an entirely voluntary basis by trustees drawn from people who have worked on or on behalf of Ukraine mission activities which are organised by the charity or, until 2012, by Holy Trinity Church, Claygate, Esher, Surrey.
**The purposes** of the charity are to further the religious and other charitable works of Christian churches in Ukraine with particular reference to the spiritual and material needs of the poor, the sick and those suffering from other forms of social deprivation, and in the training of ministers and other church members to serve those in need.
**During the year,** the Russian invasion of Ukraine brought untold misery on the Ukrainian population. The charity was able to use existing links to provide immediate targeted support to both refugees fleeing war-torn parts of the country and to others suffering extreme hardship. Funding was primarily focused on the following three projects:
- _Support for people in Kherson_ . Kherson city spent much of the year under Russian occupation before coming back under Ukrainian control in November. Funding was given to (i) a church who provide food and medical support to the most needy villagers, (ii) a cooking group who provide meals for those who have no other source of a hot meal, and (iii) food and medicines for small family orphanages and disadvantaged families with disabled children.
- _Refugee centres_ in the western Ukrainian villages we have served since 2004. Each person is provided with meals and basic toiletries, as well as sleeping accommodation and washing facilities (personal and clothes).
- _A rural hardship fund_ in these villages. This helps villagers (particularly the elderly and sick) who are struggling to cope financially due to the war. This can be due to state pensions or salaries not coming through or because they are putting up refugees in their own home; all combined with substantial price increases (due to the war) for food, basics and energy.
Funding was also provided to help refugees in Germany, Hungary and the UK.
In Transcarpathia, a deep well in Gyula, church room refurbishment in Ujakli, and manse building work (incl. new heating systems) in Aklihegy and Gyula were financed. The charity also funded ‘shoebox’ style Christmas presents for 340 village children.
Due to the war in Ukraine, the usual summer and winter missions had to be cancelled, unfortunately. A trustees’ planning visit in February was also cut short because of the Russian invasion. In the summer, a small group led by two trustees went on a mini mission. This enabled the charity to see first hand the local situation and to report back on how funds were helping the local refugee centres and alleviating village hardship.
This was the tenth full year as an independent charity.
## **Finances**
As a result of the Russian invasion, 2022 was an unprecedented year with donations being significantly higher than any previous year in the charity’s history. Likewise, with increased Ukrainian needs, payments were also significantly higher.
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £187,733. Restricted donations of £12,972 were also received and are detailed in the Financial Statements.
Total payments were £145,226. £1687 was spent on specific medicalrelated funding. £143,539 was spent on other payments, which included the above mentioned Kherson relief work (£74,609), refugee support (£19,303), rural hardship fund (£31,857), building-related work in Transcarpathia (£9602), Christmas presents for the village children (£2971) and other mission activities (£5197).
The net result for the year was a surplus of receipts over payments of £55,479. Adding the bank balance brought forward at the beginning of the year, the resulting balance carried forward is £94,178. Net assets are £101,643.
**Reserves** are considered necessary to fund the ongoing commitments to our partners in Kherson and Transcarpathia, especially with the war situation, and for medical treatment of villagers who are patients of the charity’s medical team. It was only two years ago that the Trustees provided emergency funding (personal donations) of £15000 to build up the charity’s reserves which at one point had fallen to below £3000. It is considered essential to maintain a healthy bank balance to provide for ongoing work.
**The independent examiner** is Mr Nigel Cox BSc ACA, Rowan Garth, 71 Bell Hill, Petersfield, Hants GU32 2EP.
The Annual Report was approved by the Trustees on 13 March 2023.

## Independent Examiner’s Report
I have examined the Receipts and Payments Accounts, together with the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Ukraine Christian Partnership (Registered Charity No. 1144824) relating to the year ended **31 December 2022.** My examination did not amount to an audit, but was carried out in accordance with the General Directions issued by the Charity Commissioners for the independent examination of the accounts of smaller charities. Nothing has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me cause to believe otherwise than that the accounts accord with the accounting records of the Trust and that such records satisfy the requirements of the Charities Act 1993.
I am not aware of any matter to which attention needs to be drawn in order to obtain a proper understanding of the Accounts.
