## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
The Trustees present their report and examined financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1.
## **Objectives of the charity**
The advancement of the Christian faith and such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time determine.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Achievements and performance in the period**
The main method that Grace to You Europe employs in carrying out its charitable activity, which provides public benefit, is radio ministry. During 2020 we broadcast our daily radio programme, Grace to You, throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on Premier Christian Radio. Members of the public living in those regions of Europe not covered by our radio reach are able to access the daily programmes, and thousands of free audio and video resources, through our website: http://www.gty.org.uk
On a bi-monthly basis we send a pastoral letter from John MacArthur to all those on our mailing list; on each occasion there was an offer of either a free book or CD, without any obligation to make a financial donation.
## **Book Translation Projects**
During the past year we agreed to financially support several projects that would enable books by John MacArthur to be translated from English into other European languages.
The largest grant of £26,403 was made to FACLIA Publishing House of Oradea, to cover the costs of translating and publishing _Biblical Doctrine, Only Jesus_ (and several other important GTY booklets) into Romanian. 300 sets of _Biblical Doctrine_ (valued at approx. £11,000) were gifted to pastors serving within the Baptist churches of Romania.
A grant of £2,000 was made to facilitate the translation and publication of _Only Jesus_ into Hungarian.
We have designated £25,000 of our Reserves for book translation projects in Eastern Europe during 2021.
## **Grace Reaches Out to Romania**
During the early summer of 2020 we commenced the most exciting and most challenging translation project undertaken by Grace to You Europe to date. This project hopes to achieve over a 5-year period the translation and re-voicing of 600 key sermons by John MacArthur into the Romanian language. The intention is that these sermons will be made free to download in both transcript and audio format through the GTY website. However, the audio files will also be used by our ministry partners in Romania to produce radio programmes for broadcasting throughout Romania and the world-wide Romanian diaspora, which is rapidly increasing because of economic migration. We have agreed to fund the Grace Reaches Out to Romania project on the basis that Har Prin Cuvant, our ministry partners in Romania, will assume responsibility for maintaining and financing the project beyond year 5.

## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
In partnership with Har Prin Cuvant we were able to create a recording studio in Arad during 2020 with fitting out and equipment costs kept to a modest £3,036. Funding of the translation and technical team for part of the year amounted to £14,553.
The work out-put of the translators/sermon recording/technical team should increase significantly during 2021, so we have designated £75,000 of our Reserves for the funding of Grace Reaches Out to Romania.
## **Conferences**
Due to travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic we were required to postpone all conferences during 2020, but it is hoped these can be rescheduled for the latter part of 2021.
## **Prison ministry**
Throughout the year we were contacted by the inmates of 18 different prisons and young offenders’ institutions who had been listening to our daily radio broadcasts. We also received requests for our free resources from prison chaplains for distribution in their pastoral ministry. During the year we specifically donated MacArthur Study Bibles and other literature to the value of £1,092 to the chaplains of Christian Prison Resourcing.
## **Refugees**
Our friends at Voice of Hope (Germany) continue to minister to the spiritual needs of the many thousands of refugees in the U.N camps in Sicily and to those able to attend services at the mission centre in Palermo. MacArthur Study Bibles and books to the value of £2,473 were donated to Voice of Hope to support their ministry to refugees.
## **Shepherds' Conference**
We sponsored the attendance of 4 pastors/seminarians during 2020 with grants made to cover the costs of flights and hotel accommodation.
## **Hardship grants for Pastors**
Many, if not most, pastors in Eastern Europe receive very modest salaries, which are not always sufficient to support a family. Consequently, many pastors’ wives must work full-time outside the home in-order to contribute to the family budget, or the pastor needs to take on additional manual work, such as bee keeping or farming, which can have a significant detrimental impact upon the time he can dedicate to his ministry. Over the course of several years, we have tried to provide some financial support to a small number of pastors in Eastern Europe who have struggled to provide for their families. However, during 2020 the income of some bi-vocational pastors serving churches in Western Europe was also severely impacted as the businesses that fund their ministries were forced to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following hardship grants were made to pastors/seminarians during 2020:
|**Romania**|**Netherlands**|
|---|---|
|£8,806 (8 Pastors)|£915 (1 Seminarian)|
|**France**|**Portugal**|
|£1,885 (1 Pastor)|£457 (1 Pastor)|
|**Serbia**|**U.K**|
|£1,880 (2 Pastors)|£1,100 (3 Pastors)|
We have designated £10,000 for the relief of hardship amongst pastors during 2021.

## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **Pastoral Education Grants**
We gifted 18 complete sets of the MacArthur New Testament Commentary (valued at £5,490) to young pastors and seminarians ministering in the U.K and Romania during 2020.
Books to the value of £10,051 were gifted to pastors and missionaries serving in Croatia, Finland, France, Greece, Romania and the U.K.
## **Individuals**
The following quantities of free resources were provided to individuals during 2020:
7,600 Books 1,287 CDs/DVDs 2,000 (hard) copies of Dynamic Resources Magazines
## **Preaching**
During 2020 the Director was only able to undertake one weekend of preaching engagements on behalf of the ministry prior to the U.K Government’s imposition of national and international travelling restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
## **Risk policy**
The Trustees are responsible for the management of the charity and have identified risks specific to Grace to You Europe and implemented appropriate controls.
The key controls used by the charity include:
- Formal written agendas for all Board activity
- Regular formal and informal discussions between the Chairman and staff
- Comprehensive planning, budgeting, and financial forecasting
- Established organisational structure and lines of reporting
- Formal written policies
- Clear authorisation and approval levels for expenditure
- Professional examination and presentation of annual accounts
## **Identified risks**
## _Damage to reputation_
Trustees Indemnity Insurance policy, with sum assured of £250,000 to cover legal costs occurred in defending an accusation resulting in damage to the charity’s reputation.
## _A decline in funding and donations_
We have a formal policy of maintaining sufficient capital at the bank to enable charitable activity to continue for a 12 month period in the event of a decline in donations due to loss of reputation or economic austerity.
## _Catastrophic loss by fire_
We have a Business Combined Insurance Policy underwritten by Ansvar Insurance which includes a 12 month business interruption sum assured of £200,000.
The office the charity occupies in Caxton House is rented and we are only required to give one month’s notice to our landlord if we wish to vacate the premises. There is a good range of alternative office accommodation available to rent in the Ashford area, some of which is owned by our current landlord, so we are confident that a catastrophic loss would only inconvenience the charity in the short-term.
## _Loss of data_
All data is being constantly monitored and backed-up by our off-site IT support company, MPR IT. Our website is hosted and maintained by our Grace to You colleagues in the U.S.A.

## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **COVID-19 Virus**
A risk assessment was carried out at the commencement of the pandemic and staff followed U.K Government directives by working from home where that was possible or practical. However, rather than seeing a reduction in the work of the charity during the pandemic, the listenership of our daily radio broadcasts increased, and demand for our resources surged, making working from home for all members of staff impossible. The Director and Office Manager (who are a married couple) attended the office each day in-order to receive deliveries and to maintain shipment of resources to customers and supporters, whilst customer service staff worked from home answering telephone calls.
The Grace to You Europe office is large enough to enable 3 members of staff to work simultaneously whilst maintaining social distancing of at least 2 meters. Protective face masks and hand sanitizer is provided for all members of staff whilst they are working in the office and at the time of the preparation of this report no current member of staff has reported being ill with the virus.
Based on the encouraging financial performance of the charity during 2020 we do not anticipate any decline in regular donor support or a decrease in the demand for our resources during 2021, which gives us confidence to proceed with various translation projects, whilst adhering to our policy of maintaining sufficient financial reserves at the bank.
## **Financial review**
Income for the year amounted to £471,628 (2019: £397,168) and expenditure amounted to £392,452 (2019: £371,042). As a result of the these movements, a surplus of £79,176 (2019: £26,126) was reported for the year. At 31 December 2020 funds amounted to £414,547 (2019: £335,371).
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have adopted a policy which aims to ensure that there are adequate funds to meet the operating costs of the charity for a period of at least twelve months. Based on budgeted expenditure levels this would amount to £260,000 (2019: £250,000). At 31 December 2020, unrestricted reserves amounted to £237,153 (2019: £275,371).
At 31 December 2020 designated funds amounted to £177,394 (2019: £60,000). Further details can be found in note 10.
## **Pay policy for key management personnel**
The Trustees consider the Trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with market rates.
## **Plans for the future**
On the basis that travel restrictions will be lifted during the second half of 2021, we intend to reschedule the postponed conferences for pastors in Romania and have designated £25,000 of our Reserves to cover the costs that will be incurred in organising these conferences.
We will also continue to explore new opportunities for expanding the reach of Grace to You into Moldova, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia. We have received firm invitations from pastors in these countries to organise Bible teaching conferences for church leaders.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Structure**
The company was incorporated as a limited company on 12 September 2012 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company number is 8211924.
The company is also registered with the Charity Commission, number 1150277, from 21 December 2012.

The Trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) 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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 8 to 15.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity 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 report**
Since the company’s 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 ICAEW, 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 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 requirements 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.
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.

## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
Grace to You Europe is a private limited company by guarantee and registered charity with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom and a registered company in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the advancement of the Christian faith and such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time determine.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **1.2 Funds accounting**
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
## **1.3 Income recognition**
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
- Voluntary income including donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
- Income from sale of recordings and literature represents the amounts received from the sale of goods in respect of the charity's objectives.
- Donated services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.
- Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends and interest. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
- Grace to You Support income is recognised when receivable. This can be in the form of donated services or actual donations.
- 10 -
## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.4 Expenditure recognition**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Assets costing £200 or more will be capitalised. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Office Equipment 25% straight line Furniture and Fixtures 25% straight line Recording equipment 25% straight line
## **1.6 Stock**
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
## **1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **1.8 Pension contributions**
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
## **1.9 Tax**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
## **1.10 Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

## **GRACE TO YOU EUROPE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.11 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## Useful economic lives of tangible assets:
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 6 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 1.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
## Stock provision
Stock levels are reviewed on an annual basis for any slow moving or obsolete stock and provisions are made if appropriate based on the likelihood of future sales and physical condition of stock.
