REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
Objects of the charity
The object of the charity is, for the public benefit, to promote human rights (as set out in Article 9 "Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion" of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) throughout the world by all or any of the following means: - Monitoring abuses of human rights
- Seeking redress for the victims of human rights abuse - Relieving need among the victims of human rights abuse - Research into human rights issues - Educating the public about human rights - International advocacy of human rights
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
MEC-UK staff and consultants travelled extensively in January and February inside the MENA region to encourage MENA Christians, provide assistance in specific cases of persecution, and discuss how we can challenge laws and policies that structurally underlie persecution. They met with Christians from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.
After 1 March 2020 we could no longer travel due to the pandemic, but we continued to extensively engage with Christians in all of the countries in the Middle East and North Africa through from a distance to encourage MENA Christians, provide assistance in specific cases of persecution, and discuss how we can challenge laws and policies that structurally underlie persecution.
Due to the pandemic MEC-UK staff and consultants could not travel outside of the MENA region to challenge the church worldwide to pray for and otherwise support the suffering church in the Middle East and North Africa, and to meet with politicians and government officials from many countries to work with them in advocating for persecuted Christians in the Middle East and North Africa (both for individual victims and the challenge discriminatory laws and policies). However, we did have extensive engagements remotely and continued to mobilize prayer, raise cases with governments, politicians and the United Nations (see below).
MEC-UK strongly believes in cooperation with other like-minded organizations to promote cooperation and synergy and avoid duplication. In the period covered by this report:
-
l MEC-UK staff and consultants served on the leadership teams of several collaborative efforts: - the Religious Liberty Partnership (a Partnership of all the major Christian organizations that support
-
the persecuted church)
-
Several regional consultations that brought together Christian leaders from the countries and other involved in ministry in these countries: on Sudan and the Middle East Majority Peoples Partnership

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
l MEC-UK cooperated with Open Doors in the ‘Hope for the Middle East’ project, aimed at providing hope to the Christians in the region, advocating for the preservation of their presence in the region, and encouraging and equipping them to be actively involved in blessing their nations.
l MEC-UK coordinated joint advocacy efforts to raise the persecution of Christians in Algeria among government officials and members of parliament in the UK, USA and the European Union. We also cooperated with organizations to raise these issues at the United Nations.
l MEC-UK joints other organizations in different submissions to several United Nations mechanisms on Sudan, Algeria, Turkey, Libya and Iran; also to governments in the UK, the European Union and the United States
MEC-UK has provided direct support to victims in 293 cases of persecution in different countries of the MENA region. This includes:
l Consultancy to victims, Christian leaders and lawyers on different options available to them to respond to the persecution they are facing
-
l Mobilizing prayer worldwide for the victims of persecution
-
l Advocating for the release of those imprisoned for their faith
-
l Assisting those living in hiding or those who have to flee threats to their lives or losing the custody of their children (both assisting individuals and supporting safe houses)
-
l Financially supporting the families of those martyred or imprisoned for their faith and those in need of legal assistance.
In planning the activities the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, governance and management
The policy of the charity is determined by the trustees who delegate the day-to-day management to the Executive Director and his team. The trustees meet regularly to receive and review reports from the management team and monitor the activities of the charity.
Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. New trustees are recruited and appointed by a majority of existing trustees.
Financial review
During the year income was £483,100 (2019: £415,156) and expenditure was £415,727 (2019: £454,729) giving a net surplus (before exchange gains and losses) of £67,373 (2019: deficit £39,573). The charity's net assets were increased to £148,834 (2019: £89,267).
Reserves policy
The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash representing six months' operational expenditure so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £139,512 and was complying with its reserves policy.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
The trustees are well aware, apart from meeting the charity's own operating costs, they are choosing to deploy funds at their disposal in a region of the world characterised by social, economic and political instability. They accept that these factors bring to the work of the charity an inescapable element of risk of loss of resources which is managed through active relationships with those involved.
Impact of Covid-19 on operations and finances in 2020
Most of the charity's staff and consultants work remotely, so the closure of the office for several months in the spring of 2020 only affected two staff members. They could continue their work remotely as well. The trustees have not seen any significant change in the number of cases of human rights abuses where we assisted the victims. Likewise, our ability to provide the requested assistance and the success rate of the assistance we provided has been similar to previous years.
The main difference as a result of the pandemic has been the inability to travel. Normally staff travel extensively. That is important to encourage victims of human rights abuses. It is also important to maintain and extend relationships with religious and community leaders in the MENA region, and with politicians, government officials and other NGO’s we work with to assist victims of human rights abuses. This was especially impactful as several new staff members have not yet been able to travel to the countries they are now responsible for. This has meant that staff who covered these countries before the new staff joined had to continue to cover these countries for a longer period.
The inability to travel also made it more difficult to provide training seminars in 2020, as these usually happen in-country and in-person.
Plans for the future
The charity plans to continue the main activities outlined above to meet the charity's objectives. The charity expects to be involved in much work that is reactive, where help is requested, as well as training and advocacy activities. The nature of the charity's work is such that it is difficult to predict or plan the specific activities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Responsibilities of trustees under charity law
The trustees 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).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the financial 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 the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
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 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.
Approval
This report was approved by the trustees on 27 October 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

Since the Charity’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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Statutory information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.
2 Accounting policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and have concluded that its impact on net income will not be material.
b) Income
- Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
i) The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
-
ii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
- d) Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

MIDDLE EAST CONCERN - UK
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- e) Fixed assets Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.
f) Pension scheme arrangements The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
- The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Financial instruments
- The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
i) Foreign currency translation
These financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the charity's functional currency.
-
i) Income and expenditure denominated in a foreign currency is translated into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
-
ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are re-translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.
-
iii) Non-monetary assets are measured at historic cost at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction and are not subsequently re-translated.
All differences arising from the application of the above policy are charged (or credited) to the Statement of Financial Activities.
j) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
k) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
