Achievements & Performance
The Charity is dependent on the services of unpaid volunteers for which we are greatly indebted and wish to thank them for their commitment and support.
Achievements during the year include:
Volunteer training and support – The ways we have created opportunity for the growth and development of our volunteers is through weekly team meetings, personal ‘one on one’ mentoring, ongoing personnel reviews and exit interviews/debriefing times. We also provide access to national and international training opportunities for the ongoing development for our volunteers. Some of our Leadership Team attended the European Leadership Gathering in February 2023, where they learned valuable leadership lessons and made new contacts with other leaders around Europe.
Education – we are committed to running high quality training. We provide training that promotes growth in Godly character, skills and knowledge, resulting in the application of biblical truth and servant-hearted ministry. We provide life skills training, personal growth and development, Biblical studies instruction, cross cultural experiences, child and youth worker training, and other everyday life areas such as fire prevention, food hygiene, finances, first aid, and safe-guarding. The King’s Lodge is the administration centre of Youth with a Mission’s University of the Nations international extension studies training platform. We are also the administrative home for a growing number of Online Biblical Studies courses.
We started a 9 month School of Biblical Studies (SBS) in September 2022. In January 2023, we ran DTS with trainees from many different nations. April quarter was the first time we ran three training schools concurrently since before Covid! As well as the SBS, we also launched a Chronological Bible Core Course (CBCC) and an English for Missions with trainees who came to learn English with us.
Engaging with young people – We are committed to the provision of safe environments for children and young people to grow in their understanding of God. We run a weekly youth club for local children. We are engaging with local primary schools hosting school assemblies and Christian clubs, including online school assemblies. In the summer of 2023, we hosted a youth worship weekend called Deluge for equipping and mobilising youth people into mission. We also ran our Summer Fete for the second year in a row, and saw many local families enjoying different activities and friendship on our location.
Engaging with other faiths & the wider community – we are committed to continuing and growing the scope of courses and seminars that we offer, especially within our Muslim and Youth Ministries, creating a greater understanding between different cultures. We continue to be directly involved in with Saints, a community regeneration project in the heart of Nuneaton. This project aims to tackle unemployment and lack of education and promote wellbeing and community connection, as well as provide fresh meat and vegetables for struggling families. Our team in Coventry is regularly involved in connecting with immigrant communities in various ways, including a ‘Food Hub’ which provides food for immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. We continue to build life-giving relationships with parents, families and the wider body of Christ, demonstrating God’s love through mercy ministries. We encourage our whole community to regularly attend and engage with local churches.
In December 2022, we organised a Christmas Outreach Day in Nuneaton, where we sang Christmas carols and spoke to people about the Christmas message and the love of God. We also have regular

evangelism days in the surrounding towns, like Hinckley and Nuneaton, where we partner with other local churches and worship on the streets and share the Gospel with people .
Financial Review
Principle sources of income
The charity’s primary sources of income are through residential training fees, which amount to 86% of total income, and voluntary donations, which amount to 14% of total income. Of the voluntary donation income, 13% is within restricted funds.
Expenditure
Our main expenditures during the year were to provide Christian training.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees consider that reserves equivalent to between three and six months operation expenditure is required to allow for the uncertain income flow through the fluctuation of student income and donations.
At the end of the period the unrestricted funds, or ‘free reserves’ of the charity, were £67,011 as shown in Note 14.
The trustees are considering ways to increase the certainty of student and donation income, and our unrestricted funds or ‘free reserves’.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
Trustees’ Responsibility Statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of Youth With A Mission The King’s Lodge 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).
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 the 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 then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and 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.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 12[th] April 2024 and signed on their behalf by

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] AUGUST 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of financial statements
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Companies Act 2006.
Youth With A Mission The Kings Lodge meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
Company Status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.
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 company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for a specific purpose.
Income
All income is recognised once the company has an entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be reliably measured.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the company has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the company use of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the Trustees’ report for more information about their contribution.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of interest paid or payable by the Bank.
