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. It was an exciting and fruitful year for The King’s Lodge. This year we have been especially encouraged to see our training schools thriving.

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.

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 safeguarding. The King’s Lodge is the administration centre of Youth with a Mission’s University of the Nations College for Extension Studies. We are also the administrative home for a growing number of Online Biblical Studies courses.

In September 2024 we ran DTS with 4 trainees from different nations and they went on outreach to both Italy and Brazil. In January 2025, the DTS brought 8 trainees who went on outreach to Indonesia. Alongside this, we welcomed 7 trainees in September for EFM, trainees who loved learning English and culture together. Our CBCC ran with 5 trainees in April and our SBS began with 16 trainees (with 10 completing through the second and third terms). It has been so encouraging to see this fresh momentum in our training.

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 around 12 local primary schools hosting school assemblies, RE lessons and after school clubs.

In the summer of 2025 we hosted the Shine Event which gathered around 300 mostly young people and adults from places like Switzerland, Poland, the UK & Egypt. The week was full of worship, training and evangelism followed by teams going into the UK and across Europe for outreach. Outreach has continued to be at the heart of what we do. This year included:

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. We also have continued to host Illuminate together with Saints, a monthly prayer and worship gathering where local Christians come together to pray for our town and region. 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 are working with Restore Collective in Atherstone who work with families and young people in creating safe environments. We encourage our whole community to regularly attend and engage with local churches.

In December 2024 we organised a Christmas event called Winter Wonderland, over 600 people from the community came through our doors. We organised Christmas Outreach days in Nuneaton and Hinckley, 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, Nuneaton, Coventry and Leicester where we partner with other local churches and worship on the streets and share the Gospel with people.

It was a privilege to open up to doors and grounds of The King’s Lodge to be used as a filming location. The 60 cast and crew lived here while they filmed around the base during the day and night.

This year we also joined the WISE Gathering at YWAM Harpenden. Around 300 people from across YWAM Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England came together. It was a rich time of fellowship, worship and receiving input, as well as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and unity across the different YWAM locations in our region.

Financial Review

Principle sources of income

The charity’s primary sources of income are through residential training fees, which amount to 85% of total income, and voluntary donations, which amount to 15% of total income. Of the voluntary donation income, 53% 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 £55,071 as shown in Note 15.

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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Youth With A Mission The King's Lodge

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Youth With A Mission The King's Lodge

{the Charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity, 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 Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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 by 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 Act; or

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] AUGUST 2025

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 King’s 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.
