## **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
- Objects: • 'To advance the Christian faith in India amongst all regions and sectors of society, in particular but not exclusively, by supporting and funding the charity called 'India Village Care Ministries' in India.'
In order to carry out this objective our aims are to promote IVCM in the west in order to: 1. Provide financial contributions for the charity “India Village Care Ministries” in India. 2. To support pastors working for IVCM India and the churches they minister to. 3. To help equip churches associated with IVCM India. 4. Support missionaries who work to fulfil the aims of IVCM. 5. Maintain control of grants given to IVCM in India by informing the Indian organiser what the money was raised for and insisting he reports back on a regular basis how money was spent. 6. Encourage and support the leaders of the Indian charity by use of regular telecommunications plus meeting with the directors and trustees in India face to face as well as in a missional context as regularly as possible, preferably at least once per year. 7. Advance Christ's Kingdom amongst India’s young people by teaching Biblical truths of obedience, reverence, discipline, self-respect and all that tends towards Christ likeness. 8. To encourage and teach Indian women in the faith and to treat them as equals. 9. Plant new churches all over India, particularly in remote villages. 10. Support independent Indian church pastors, giving them teaching and encouragement. To enable them to get together intermittently so that they can share ideas and give each other support. 11. Care for those in India who do not otherwise have family support such as widows and orphans. 12. Build and support orphanages in India for the welfare of orphans/semi orphan children plus abandoned, neglected and homeless poor children who have no other means of welfare and support. 13. Provide education in India for those who lack

||In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the
Charity Commissions general guidance on public beneft and in
particular its supplementary public guidance on the
advancement of religion for the public beneft.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic many of IVCM’s activities have
been adjusted this year to work within the necessary guidelines
to prevent its spread.
All sponsors have been updated and informed regularly of all
activities in India thereby giving them encouragement to
maintain their support and even increase it in light of the need
for extra support with food supplies required due to the
pandemic.
All IVCM Pastors in India have been fnancially supported
throughout the year and thereby encouraged in their ministry.
Month by month fnancial oversight continued by the updating
of the current budget sheet with actual fgures so as to facilitate
informed decisions during the year over the on-going
responsible use of that money. This also enabled tighter
accountability to those who support regularly. The number of
Pastors serving in India has been 34 this year plus sadly 7
pastor’s widows whose husbands have been victims of the
pandemic and accidents. IVCM has continued to support them
fnancially to some degree.
IVCM orphans have been provided with the essential needs of a
home to live in and food to eat, as well as new bedding, toys
and games, etc. IVCM India now cares for 24 orphans to keep in
line with Indian government guidelines for the facilities
provided. General repairs and safety equipment has been
maintained.
The pandemic curtailed the education that would normally be
given to some of the poorest children in remote rural villages
although other needed projects were added, eg Women’s free|

tailoring centre and support for the blind.
Many widows were provided with new saris to wear regularly during the year, and some financial help was given for medical emergencies and for food parcels in light of the ongoing pandemic.
Micah Bible students were able to begin meeting for classes again after the lock downs had been lifted due to the pandemic but they continued their studies in their own homes until that time. It was still not possible to hold a graduation this year.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
All through the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, IVCM continued to receive financial support during 2021-22 to enable it to support those in India during the year. Sponsors have been encouraged and kept informed of all that their financial support has achieved.
IVCM has continued to claim gift aid tax back on donations as far as possible thereby increasing the value of financial support sent out to India during the year.
It was not possible to carry out a mission trip again this year due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic restrictions and risks. Covid restrictions only lifted in early 2022 so the continued focus has been on raising funds for the additional needs brought about by the pandemic. Many labourers in India were unable to maintain their usual work due to lock downs and therefore suffered hardship in providing food for their families. As most labourers work from one day to another to provide food, few have financial reserves to fall back on therefore it has been important to continue to support them as much as possible and IVCM has been able to send out the funds needed to provide for this.
Some valuable programs were added to IVCM’s ministries this year to include free Tailoring Training workshops for women which enables widows to learn a skill and thus provide for themselves and their families rather than go destitute. At the end of the training these ladies are given a sewing machine of their own. So far 3 ladies have received a machine. Another new ministry helps provide supplies for the blind which has been particularly needed during the pandemic hardships.
Although IVCM UK does not work directly with children and vulnerable adults within the UK it has worked together with IVCM India in establishing a Safeguarding Policy for these groups in India and those working as pastors in India were informed and equipped accordingly. This policy was reviewed and presented afresh this year to the pastors in India as some were new to IVCM and others importantly reminded.
During the year IVCM’s plans to purchase land in India materialised and a small two floor structure for IVCM India’s use was erected. Sufficient funds were raised to purchase the land and complete the building as hoped. This building now provides a permanent home for its founder Pastor David whilst also functioning as a meeting hall to include Micah College training and a registered office. This facility has brought much blessing to IVCM and has enabled it to function more efficiently to achieve its aims and goals.
