REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The Trustees present the annual report and financial statements of NavEurope (‘the Charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities, preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS102).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The main objective of the Charity is to advance the Christian religion in Europe and such other areas as the Charity Trustees may from time to time decide for the public benefit through evangelism, teaching, mentoring, training, individual personal development, the publication and distribution of related material and such other charitable means as the Charity Trustees may from time to time decide.
We are committed to helping people come to know Christ, to live as Christ’s disciples in society and to be equipped to help others to do the same. This is expressed in our calling: ‘To advance the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of labourers living and discipling among the lost’
Our core values and vision have been identified and these provide the foundation for our strategy for ministry. Throughout our ministry we will continue our focus on
-
knowing, loving and becoming like Christ
-
the truth and sufficiency of the scriptures
-
the transforming power of the gospel
-
the leading and empowering of the Holy Spirit
-
expectant faith and persevering prayer
NavEurope is an umbrella organisation for the Navigators in Europe. The Navigators is an international Christian movement seeking to advance the Christian religion worldwide which has a number of affiliated non-profit organisations based in Europe. NavEurope provides support and leadership to the work of Navigator ministries in Europe. NavEurope promotes a mutual exchange of experiences between the various existing Navigator ministries in Europe and seeks to develop ministries in European countries with no national Navigator work. It also maintains links with The Navigators – a non-profit organisation registered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. These objectives are achieved through the provision of financial and human resources and assistance to European Navigator ministries to help them as they work with churches and individuals in teaching biblical principles and understanding of the Christian faith.
The main activities undertaken by the Charity are the support of local Navigator initiatives across Europe, the arranging of Navigator conferences, the development of current and emerging Navigator leaders in Europe, and the provision of European student training programmes.
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. NavEurope is working for the public benefit by supporting Navigator ministries in Europe as they seek to help people understand the transforming power of the Christian Gospel and to be trained both in greater depth of understanding and in ways of sharing their lives with others so they in turn would have a similar impact. This enables individuals to be more responsible for themselves and better able to serve those around them and the communities in which they live.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The work of NavEurope has continued to progress well during this year, benefiting from the faithful work of many against the receding impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and the ability to meet face to face once again.
During the year, our Regional Director Bill Sparks gave notice that, after seven years of diligent, sacrificial and faithful service, he would be stepping down from his current role. We

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 (continued)
are immensely grateful to Bill and his wife Cathy for the years they have been based in Southampton and overseeing the development and growth of the Navigator work in Europe. An open selection process was held with a number of candidates being put forward. The selection weekend in Budapest was attended by around 40 staff, volunteers and trustees. We had been praying for God’s clear guidance in selecting a leader to follow on from Bill and He did not disappoint us with the overwhelming majority agreeing that Bernard Dishman should take up the role. We are delighted that Bernard has been willing to take on this key role and for his wife Debs’ willingness to support him and the ministry going forward.
We are also delighted that Leila Abdoussalame has joined the staff of Navigators UK, working alongside Naomi Sebborn and Nick Baker, and will be seconded to Navigators Europe on a part time basis. Leila has already made a significant contribution in creating the NavEurope Regional Office; putting in place the virtual IT, communications and project management tools needed to support such a geographically diverse work.
Coinciding with the change of leadership, three members of the European Regional Team stepped back from that role. One of Bernard’s first tasks was to invite new members to join the ERT and it is most encouraging that the Team has been strengthened and enriched with the arrival of new members.
At its first gathering, the new Regional Team undertook a strategic review and identified several areas for attention in the year and years ahead. These include the ERT modelling spiritual vitality and missional fruitfulness as we seek to help others and to implement a series of regional ‘Faith Directions’ that seek missional fruitfulness within our grass roots ministries. The ERT have also identified the vital need to both strengthen and grow our pool of local, national and regional leaders. As 2024 progresses we are seeking to build a leadership framework to complement existing national development programs. We will also be recruiting to and strengthening our team of Mobile Alongsiders, who play a key role in facilitating fruitfulness at the grass roots local ministry level.
Several additional ministries, such as the Missions Working Group, the European Student Network and the Focus Network, have given additional support in countries where Navigator ministries are small or non-existent. With the benefit of these actions, the Navigator ministries in Europe are being strengthened and extended.
Overall, the year has been encouraging in many areas, not least the heart and commitment for the work in Europe as a new recognition of shared responsibility and opportunity among so many involved in the various national ministries. This very positive development has been evidenced in different contexts through the year and is a promising basis for the work going forward.
The Trustees are delighted to report another year of positive achievement and performance against the goals we have set.
Our new Regional Director, Bernard Dishman, has settled well in the role providing clear leadership in a style and manner which has been effective in leading the European Team (ERT) and the wider work forward and creating a positive, supportive and constructively challenging environment.
The members of the ERT have formed a good team together sharing a number of collective responsibilities as well as individual roles where they enjoy the support of others in the group. They are a team who are working hard on the challenges before them and delivering well in a number of divers areas.
One of the main areas of work this year has been progressing the Faith Directons initiative. To do this a number of working groups have been established to take orward individual Faith Challenges and the plan is to present the outcomes for further prayer, decision and actions at the NavEurope Council meeting in March 2025.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 (continued)
Taken together, our prayer and desire is that the Faith Directions, together with other inititaives, will assist in the aim of unlocking missional fruitfulness at grass roots level across Europe.
We are already seeing some early stages of this, in particular with encouraging developments in countries where historically there have been no recent Nav ministry.
Work has continued on the development and launch of a new leadership development programme in conjunction with a team based in Colorado Springs and this is expected to launch in the Autumn of 2025.
Overall the Trustees are greatly encouraged by the continuing sense of unity within the Navigator community in Europe, the level of commitment to our calling and the positive steps forward being taken.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The balance sheet shows total net assets of €156,303 (2023: €152,176). There are no funds in deficit in the accounts.
Income
The total income for year was €167,375 (2023: €199,825 ). Of this, €140,079 (2023: €128,947) was received in gifts and contributions from Navigator organisations in Europe and the USA. A further €5,927 was donated by individuals, including tax reclaimed (2023: €6,848). Income from charitable activities (meetings and training courses) of €17,151 (2023: €54,871) was received. The reduction in income from charitable activities reflects a large number of events held in the 2022-23 financial year (including events delayed from previous years due to COVID) and the charity’s ability to cover all of the conference costs of the 2023 annual leaders gathering without requesting a contribution from attendees.
Expenditure
The reduction in the number of events in 2023-24 led to a fall in total expenditure to €163,248 (2023: €213,306), including €62,647 (2023: €51,473) on central support costs. Expenditure related to two significant international gatherings in autumn 2024 led to an increase in prepayments to €17,884 (2023: €3,684),
Reserve Policy
At 31 August 2024 the level of free reserves was €153,193 (2023: €150,323). Reserves are maintained at a level equal to at least six months of operating expenses, with a target value of between six and twelve months of operating expenses (currently €91,907 to €183,814 based on the budget for 2024-25).

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. 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.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of NavEurope
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of NavEurope for the year ended 31 August 2024.
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 my 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
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.
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 ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
| a. | Basis of accounting |
|---|---|
| | The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention (except where otherwise |
| stated in the accounting policy note) and 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) issued in October 2019, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the | |
| United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011. | |
| The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the | |
| Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This | |
| departure has involved following 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: | |
| Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. | |
| | The accounts are prepared in euros as the Charity operates predominantly in this currency. |
| | The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, |
| despite the impact of the rapidly rising cost of living across Europe. Donations to support the work of the Navigators | |
| across Europe have broadly remained stable and the charity's strong reserves ensure that it is in a good position to | |
| continue supporting the development of Navigator work across Europe. | |
| b. | Fund accounting |
| | Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the |
| Charity. Unrestricted designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. | |
| | Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an |
| appeal. | |
| c. | Income |
| All | income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is entitled to it and the amount can be |
| quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: | |
| | Income from donations and legacies is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of |
| Financial Activities when receivable, including the related tax recoverable under the Gift Aid scheme. | |
| | Donated assets, services and facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified. The value of |
| services provided by volunteers has not been included in these financial statements. | |
| | Income from investments is included when receivable. |
d. Expenditure
| d. Expenditure | d. Expenditure |
|---|---|
| Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis, as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT, which cannot be | |
| recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. | |
| | Expenditure related to raising funds comprises the costs associated with attracting voluntary income. |
| | Expenditure related to charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities. It |
| includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to | |
| support them. | |
| | Governance costs are included within central support costs. |
| | Central support costs are allocated to the different charitable activities on the basis of estimated time spent by the |
| support staff. These estimates are reviewed annually. |
e. Debtors
- Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
f. Cash at bank and in hand
- Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
g. Creditors and provisions
- Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
