## Transformations Leeds
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public, mainly but not exclusively, through activities involving international students, Christians, churches and other relevant organisations, in Leeds, the United Kingdom and overseas.
## **The charity's main activities**
In 2022 we continued to return to doing many of the in-person events that we had done previously. We worked with our partners to welcome international students to Leeds, help them make friends through The Living Room and give them space to find out about the Christian faith through Explore International.
We also continued to develop our online activities, including growing our global God's Apprenticeship.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of religion and education.
## **Achievements and performance**
Our work has developed in the last year.
We have been able to develop a very strong community through the Living Room, in part achieved by encouraging the international students to participate more in the organising of these social events.
Our Explore International course, where we explain the basics of the Christian faith, was attended by students from more countries than ever before, 22 nationalities were represented in total!
Our Transforming your World conference was a success as we ran it in hybrid form for the first time, benefitting international students in Leeds and those who’ve returned home in the last few years.
Our God’s Apprenticeship programme has helped to develop godly leaders around the world.
Our intern programme developed so we were able to have 3 interns for the first time, each from a different continent.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £6,061, including net expenditure of £7,170 on unrestricted funds and net income of £1,109 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £31,029.
We have adopted a two limit policy based on time. The lower limit, which would be a level below which the trustees would have concerns for the charity’s future, is 3 months’ running costs. The upper limit, an amount above which the trustees could not justify holding rather than spending, would be 6 months’ running costs
Approved by the board of trustees on 4 September 2023

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Transformations Leeds
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
