## **ReachAcross (UK)** 

## _**TRUSTEES REPORT for the year ended 31 Mar 2024 (continued)**_ 

## **Charitable Objects** 

The objects of the Charity are: 

- the advancement of the Christian faith worldwide in particular but not exclusively by the provision of medical, educational and other services; 

- the relief of financial need and suffering amongst victims of natural or other disasters. 

## **Policies to Further our Objects** 

The Charity seeks to further its objects through the provision of medical support, teaching and setting up of community projects of a medical and educational nature, either under contract to the local government or with an independent programme with government approval where required. 

The Trustees believe that the objects and policies of the Charity have spiritual and practical public benefit. 

## **Organisation** 

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees which is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation and for establishing policy. The Board of Trustees meets at least three times a year and delegates the day-to-day operation of the organisation to a management team based at its office in England. Through this office, funds are channelled to the work of the Charity which is part of an international fellowship of charities with the same working name (ReachAcross) and similar objectives. 

## **Review of the Period** 

During the annual period under review, our mission workers have been serving in different contexts, where their primary goal is to advance the Christian religion through sharing the gospel, teaching and serving in practical ways in their various locations around the world—whether in places such as North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, or in Western nations serving in Muslim-majority communities, or with refugees. Many of our mission workers serve in practical ways such as in teaching English, or serving in medical services provided locally. During this financial year, ReachAcross has also continued to explore mission opportunities in the Balkans, where there are large populations of Muslims who are yet to receive the Christian gospel. It is hoped that in the future, ReachAcross will be able to send long-term and short-term mission workers to that region. Many potential partnership possibilities are being examined. 

The Charity, its projects and its mission workers are supported by voluntary contributions primarily from churches and friends of the Charity. Supporters and churches are updated about the work of the charity through speaking engagements, conferences, newsletters and monthly prayer bulletins. Some speaking engagements were provided ‘online’, but with the Covid-19 pandemic being largely over, we were able to speak at churches and attend exhibitions/conferences in person. Throughout the year ReachAcross has encouraged UK churches in their mission engagement among Muslims, especially those as yet unreached with the Christian gospel. Churches responded by praying for the mission and financially providing for ReachAcross mission workers and projects. Our hope is to continue recruiting mission workers from these churches. 

Continuous efforts were made to recruit and mobilise further mission workers during the course of the year, to be deployed long-term and short-term overseas as well as in the UK. ReachAcross(UK) works in partnership with other ReachAcross charities mostly based in western nations, though also in Uganda, and recruitment and mobilisation of mission workers continues to gradually expand the mission workforce. More are required, as the needs and opportunities for ministry are great. 

Overseas, ReachAcross has also partnered with local Christians, providing training in reaching Muslims with the Christian gospel, as well as encouraging Christians to minister with practical help to Muslims suffering through poverty or lack of resources.

## **ReachAcross (UK)** 

## _**TRUSTEES REPORT for the year ended 31 Mar 2024 (continued)**_ 

For security purposes, given that we serve in Muslim-majority countries where some antagonism can from time to time be experienced when engaged in Christian mission work, we do not disclose our specific operating locations in this report. However, the following are four short descriptions of some of the types of work in which our long-term and short-term overseas mission workers and partners have been/are engaged: 

- (1)     We have continued to serve in countries in northeast Africa’s Red Sea region where we have provided ongoing educational services such as teaching English as a foreign language, providing library services and educational materials to nationals of relatively financially poor nations, and literacy training, hence enhancing their employability which in turn helps with their poor economic situation.  ReachAcross is helping with a service for Yemeni ‘medical tourists’ who are travelling to a country near to Yemen for medical services which they cannot obtain in their homeland. This helps them to receive the medical care they need at a reasonable cost. The gospel is being shared with contacts made through such services. 

- (2)     ReachAcross has been involved with Bible translation into local languages in Africa as part of multiagency efforts in various locations. A Bible translation centre is located within the compound of one of our field bases and is being used by a translation team for a local language, and Christian literature in local languages is distributed in response to local demand. In addition, the Christian faith is furthered through proclamation of the gospel in ways suitable to the context. A particular people group in West Africa is being reached with the gospel and the new Christians are meeting together for worship and fellowship. Funding has been given to our mission workers in West Africa for the ongoing work. 

- (3)     We have continued our long-term presence in a Muslim-majority country in Central Asia. Our missionaries are helping to provide health services both in a major city as well as through training local healthcare workers who visit rural villages. We are providing ongoing funding of the projects and for the support of the missionaries involved. 

- (4)     We have provided relief to Morocco following an earthquake in September 2023, and have provided funds to help relieve poverty and suffering in Yemen, while also bringing Christian teaching and discipleship. We have sent funds to help with a community centre through which our missionaries in Central/East Africa help with literacy, computer skills and sports ministry among the [mainly] Muslim local community. 

Undergirding all our practical service ministry is prayer for Muslims and the proclamation of the Christian faith among them. We believe that everyone in the world needs to hear the Christian gospel — both the message of the gospel — that of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ — as well as hearing the teaching of the Christian faith which leads to radical change in how people live their lives — loving God and neighbour, all to the glory of Christ. 

## **Financial Results and Future Activities** 

We are grateful to God for the Charity’s income in the form of gifts from supporters, legacies and investment income from funds in hand. Our net incoming resources for the year to 31 Mar 2024 amounted to £654 (cf. 2023 net incoming resources (£140,938)), including losses/gains on investments. 

The total funds held by the charity at 31st March 2024 were £1,034,096 consisting of £125,736 restricted funds and £908,360 unrestricted (including designated) funds. Free reserves as represented by unrestricted net current liabilities were (£62,423). The Trustees will endeavour to increase the free reserves to a positive level. 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

## **ReachAcross (UK)** 

## _**TRUSTEES REPORT for the year ended 31 Mar 2024 (continued)**_ 

## **Investment Policy** 

During the period the Trustees continued investing a proportion of available funds in longer-term investments, in view of the low returns on cash deposits, whilst retaining sufficient in shorter-term deposits for the ongoing day to day requirements. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Within the Unrestricted Funds the Trustees have set a policy that funds immediately available/up to three months to maturity at a targeted £150,000 will be maintained. This allows for several months operating costs in the absence of incoming funds. Also, within the Unrestricted Funds the Trustees have set aside an amount of £10,000 as an emergency fund to allow a quick response to any emergencies, and a retirement fund used to provided small retirement benefits to retired long term ReachAcross(UK) charity workers, as well as designated funds which have been allocated at the discretion of the Trustees towards ReachAcross charity workers and projects. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees actively review the major risks that the Charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining general reserves at a level sufficient for the Charity’s activities as stated above, combined with the regular review of controls and systems carried out, will provide sufficient resources in the event of any problems. The Trustees have also examined the operational risks faced and established that the necessary systems are in place to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Charity acknowledges its requirements to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how these are achieved are provided in the Trustees Report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. 

## **Trustees** 

The Trustees in office at the date of this report are set out on page 1 and have served throughout the year unless otherwise stated. Trustees have the power, by ordinary resolution passed by a majority of the Trustees, to appoint new Trustees. A Trustee can be removed by resolution passed by seventy five percent of the Trustees present at a Board Meeting. At each Annual General Meeting (AGM) one third or the nearest number to one third must retire from office, including any Trustees appointed during the year. The Trustees are provided with training and advice on a regular basis. 

Mr. Jeff Laws remains as Chairman; Mr. Keith Macpherson remains as Vice Chairman; and Mr. Sergey Babenko remains as Treasurer.

## **ReachAcross (UK}** 

## _**TRUSTEES REPORT for the year ended 31 Mar 2024 (continued)**_ 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The Charities Act and the Companies Act 2006 require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of thcharity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to: 

- (I) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- (II) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- (Ill) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business and; 

- (IV) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' Report, and the responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' Report is limited to examining the Report and ensuring that, on the face of the report there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. 

We approve the attached statement of financial activities and balance sheet for the year ended 31st March 2024, and confirm that we have made available all information necessary for its preparation.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

_**To the Trustees of ReachAcross (UK)**_ 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s Trustees of ReachAcross (UK) (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 ReachAcross (UK) 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 ReachAcross (UK) 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 Association of Charity Independent Examiners, 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 ReachAcross (UK) 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 (FRS102)]. 

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.

## **9 Debtors and Creditors** 

**Debtors** : Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. **Creditors** : The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. **Liability recognition** : Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
