GRACE TO YOU EUROPE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Trustees present their report and examined financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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 2021 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 were able to access the daily programmes, and thousands of free audio and video resources, through our website.
On a bi-monthly basis we sent 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 £20,138 was made to FACLIA Publishing House of Oradea, to cover the costs of translating and publishing Saved Without a Doubt and You Must Be Born Again into ROMANIAN, and to begin the process of producing a Romanian edition of the MacArthur Study Bible.
A total of £3,527 was granted to facilitate the translation and publication of Saved Without A Doubt, Jesus Unleashed and various booklets in the Spotlight on Scripture series for free distribution to congregations of the Hungarian Baptist churches in Romania.
A total of £2,153 was granted to facilitate the translation, publication and free distribution of various Spotlight on Scripture booklets into SERBIAN.
A total of £1,800 was granted to facilitate the translation, publication and free distribution of various Spotlight on Scripture booklets into POLISH.
We have designated £70,000 of our Reserves for book and MacArthur Study Bible translation projects in Eastern Europe during 2022.

GRACE TO YOU EUROPE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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 5-6 year period the translation and re-voicing of some 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 our ministry partners in Romania will assume responsibility for maintaining and financing the project beyond year 2026 through Har prin Cuvant, a legally registered charity in Romania.
The work out-put of the translators/sermon recording/technical team should increase significantly during 2022, so we have designated £75,000 of our Reserves for the funding of Grace Reaches Out to Romania.
Conferences
Due to the travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic we were required to postpone all conferences during 2020/21, but it is hoped that some of these can now be rescheduled. We have designated £25,000 of our Reserves for conference ministry during 2022.
Prison ministry
Throughout the year we were contacted by the inmates of 16 different U.K 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 £1,250 to the chaplains of Christian Prison Resourcing.
Shepherds' Conference
We have sponsored the attendance at Shepherds’ Conference of 3 pastors with grants made towards the costs of air tickets.
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 2020/21 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/missionaries during 2021:

Resources for Pastors and students
Books to the value of £7,147 were gifted to pastors and seminarians in Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and the UK.
The Master’s Seminary Scholarship Fund
Grants totalling £8,534 were made to one individual currently preparing for pastoral ministry within Europe at the completion of his studies. We have designated £45,000 of our Reserves for the Scholarship Fund in 2022.
Individuals
The following quantities of free resources were provided to individuals during 2021:
6,364 Books 2,170 (hard) copies of Dynamic Resources Magazines
Preaching
During 2021 the Director was only able to undertake a limited number of weekend church preaching engagements on behalf of the ministry, due to the U.K Government’s imposition of national and international travelling restrictions. However, one ministry trip to a church in Normandy was made possible when British and French government restrictions were briefly alleviated in October.
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 trustees 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 12month 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 and Cyber Security
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 2021
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.
Based on the encouraging financial performance of the charity during 2021 we do not anticipate any decline in regular donor support or a decrease in the demand for our resources during 2022, which gives us confidence to proceed with the various objectives mentioned in this report, whilst adhering to our policy of maintaining sufficient financial reserves at the bank.
Financial review
Income for the year amounted to £541,658 (2020: £471,628) and expenditure amounted to £399,708 (2020: £392,452). As a result of the these movements, a surplus of £141,950 (2020: £79,176) was reported for the year. At 31 December 2021 funds amounted to £556,497 (2020: £414,547).
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 (2020: £260,000). At 31 December 2021, unrestricted reserves amounted to £295,031 (2020: £237,153).
At 31 December 2021 designated funds amounted to £230,000 (2020: £177,394). Further details can be found in note 10.
At 31 December 2021 restricted funds amounted to £31,466 (2020: Nil). Further details can be found in note 11.
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
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 much needed 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
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.

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.

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.
