TRUSTEES' REPORT
The Trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
TeachBeyond is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 4 March 2014.
Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The principal object of the company is to provide the advancement of Christianity and the furtherance of transformational education.
Objects:
- The advancement of Christianity and the furtherance of transformational education. - Other charitable purposes for the public benefit as the Trustees may from time to time determine.
Objectives, strategies and activities
The principal activity of the company is to coordinate the strategic planning of worldwide operations between our various independent, but related national partner charities working in conjunction with schools and other educational settings in over 50 countries worldwide providing transformational education to children and to adults.
We provide teaching and learning services to all in order to promote holistic personal growth and enduring social benefit. The company will develop to become a resourcing global centre of excellence to enable our partnering charities to benefit from pooled knowledge and better access to funding sources.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Public benefit
We seek to advance both Christianity and learning through the provision of educational services. We work with teachers, adult educators, schools and other educational providers for the benefit of children, adult learners, their families and society in general. We provide holistic education founded on the Christian faith for academic and social improvement. We also provide services for teachers, administrators and other educators worldwide to aid them in delivering transformational education for the long-term benefit of their communities and nations.The services, resources and personnel TeachBeyond provides likewise benefit the schools, agencies and educational establishments with which we partner.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Achievements and performance
Review of activities
TeachBeyond Ltd took major steps to move forward after two challenging years where global travel and connection remained severely limited. The year started with a global conference in Slovenia, which served as an opportunity for members of the organization to connect with each other, TeachBeyond’s leadership, and be introduced to the updated mission and vision of the organization.
In addition to this global conference, the Horsham office was able to serve as a major hub for conference planning and the establishment of further Global Centres around the world. Many of the original goals for the Horsham office now need to be replicated elsewhere and the Global Centre in Horsham continued to provide the key administrative crossroads for the organization. Although overseas recruitment remained challenging in 2022, the organization continued on a pathway of global growth in all regions of the world.
Financial review
Income for the year was £191,230 (2021: £183,343) and expenditure £191,151 (2021: £226,997), resulting in a surplus of £19 (2021: deficit £43,655). Unrestricted funds carried forward amount to £23,350 (2021: £24,758).

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Policy on reserves
It is the intention to hold unrestricted reserves to cover three months operating costs. In the medium term the Trustees will investigate other sources of funding for the company, including in particular from international projects which are increasingly capable of providing financial support.
Plans for future periods
-
The goals for 2023 focus around two major priorities: - Ongoing regional conferences
-
Establishment of new Global Centres
As noted in the report above, 2022 finally provided the global organization an opportunity to come together for the first time since 2014. One of the ways in which we see ourselves becoming more effective in pursuing our global mission is by finding ways to do “life together”. The two main pathways for this to take place in 2023 will be through global conferences in Africa and Latin America and the establishment of a new Global Transformational Education Centre.
Our Horsham Global Centre will continue to be a focal point for organizational cross-division communication in 2023. An educational services divisional meeting is planned along with a leadership summit. Both of these gatherings will be focused on setting a pathway forward for the global organization to grow in connecting well to developed and newly developing services.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of TeachBeyond for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 22 September 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TEACHBEYOND
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s Trustees of TeachBeyond (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 TeachBeyond 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
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of TeachBeyond as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 (FRS 102)].
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.
