REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

CHARITY INFORMATION

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.

The following Trustees served throughout the year: Rose Foulds Kevin Westfield Karen Gratton Jessica Anne Hymus-Gant Rev Mark Savage

The appointment of Trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity. The Board of Trustees is authorized to appoint new Trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death.

Investment Powers

The Trust Deed authorizes the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity.

In planning the activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in December 2008 on 'Public Benefit'.

Constitution, Objects and Policies

The Charitable Trust is constituted by the Trust Deed dated 23 November 2015 named Mission Europe. Its objects are to advance the Christian faith in (but not limited to) Europe. The policy of the Charitable Trust is to positively impact nations facing economic and social distress. The charity provides Leadership Development, Short Term Missions teams (7-14 days) and a variety of Community Development initiatives based on country and need.

Developments, Activities and Achievements

The year ended 31 December 2025 saw the achievement of objectives and vision in some areas of the ministry as detailed below:

In 2025: During the year a small team went to Moldova in July. We gave out aid and ministered in three churches in the local villages, and also supported some of the Ukrainians in the villages and gave them aid. Throughout the year, a small fundraising team helped to collect funds so we could continue to send toiletries and clothing via courier to Moldova. We also sent finance for firewood for the local villages to support them in the winter. We have recently sent a lorry to Moldova to fill up the three storehouses.

Looking Forward 2026

We are aiming to develop a fourth storehouse in the village of Micleuseni in the autumn. There will also be a mission team in Sept/Oct 2026 to support the work.

Financial Review

Total receipts for the year were £5,100 comparable to £4,520 in 2024.

Total payments for the year were £2,732 decreased from £3,222 in 2024. This is due to a decrease in administration costs.

Year ended for 2025 resulted in a funds increase of £2,369, compared to 2024 funds increase of £1,298.

At year end net current assets totalled: £9,885, an increase from £7,516 in 2024.

Risk Management

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces. Based on the funds that are maintained, the regular review of the controls over financial matters/systems, there are suficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

The Trustees regularily assess the risk of working in war torn countries recognising our duty of care to our Volunteers and Field workers.

Reserves policy: It is the policy of the charity to maintain funds throughout the year at a level that is sufficient to cover management, administration and support costs for a period of three months.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities:

Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. We are required to:

  1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

  2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

  4. 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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
