## **Objectives set up in our governing document:**
## **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
1. To advance the Christian Faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the statement of belief appearing in the schedule attached to our Constitution hereto in the United Kingdom or elsewhere as the Trustees may from time to time think fit, and
2. To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantage communities of UK or elsewhere in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society.
## **Summary of GSM’s main activities undertaken for the public benefit in**
## **relation to our objectives stated above**
## **Objective 1:**
## **Advancement of Christian Faith:**
- GSM’s Christian based teaching, principles and moral values approach in helping people with financial difficulties, social problems as well as helping the unemployed to secure job, will help to restore human dignity/life and health as well as propel individuals for productive future and increase human resources for UK’s economy. We believe that by teaching and promoting Christian values as well as principles in life, help individuals to live as honest and law-abiding citizens in society.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
- Besides, the home bible study group, online and community pastoral care services (involving listening, encouraging, offering prayers, and practical help) we offer to individuals as well as families in the community, have helped some individuals with social problems such as: homelessness, alcoholism, substance abuse, family financial issues and behaviour problems to manage their lives better and find employment to improve their living standard. We believe that from the responses of our clients, the services have helped to strengthen family life and limited the chances of divorce that affects the lives of many young people in the United Kingdom.
## **Objective 2:**
## **To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantage communities in UK or elsewhere:**
- Our holistic approach to provide financial security to underprivileged people by helping them to train and obtain employment helps them to become self-sufficient and gain control of their financial situation.
- The pastoral care coupled with the restoration of financial independence for underprivileged people help them to avoid depression, anxiety and possible suicidal tendencies; thereby assisting in organisational productivity and taking some pressure of our National Health Services.
- Our full aftercare program for ex-homeless individuals and those who have gone through rehabilitation programs allows a full restoration of complete and productive lifestyle which will help to generate capital in terms of human resources for UK economy/society and allow examples and Models to inspire the youth and other broken lives. The people who slip through the social care system are often overlooked as being

potential contributors to society. GSM’s specialty which has developed over the year is not to overlook, but to see the gem as well as potential and allow that to be useful to our economy and society.
- Furthermore, our free seminars and workshops help to build awareness of social exclusion and common grounds to promote good relations between people of socio-economic background thus, helping to promote social cohesion in communities.
- The Trustees and the management of Global Support Ministry periodically (management meetings) read and review the Charities Commission’s public benefit guidance and has helped the Charity in its deliberation of duties to have due regards to its objectives.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
## **Additional details of objectives and activities**
GSM’s overseas programmes focus on helping underprivileged people in developing countries who are stacked in poverty and financial hardship and cannot lift themselves out of a cycle of generational poverty, hopelessness and abandonment. We hope to achieve this objective:
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
1. By offering financial grants, interest free loans or items to individuals in need (depending on the availability of funds) to start a business or invest in any sustainable financial venture that will enable them to be self-sufficient and equip them to lift themselves out of poverty.
2. By providing educational scholarships in their communities to offer educational opportunities, training, skills and hope to some underprivileged young people in that part of the world.
3. By working with Scripture Union in Ghana (Volta Region) to support financially their Annual Summer Study Camp program which helps to get underprivileged young people off the streets, to be engaged in healthy educational and recreational activities. We hope to extend this annual camp ministry to Jamaica and other developing countries where Scripture Union exists and operates.
4. By offering support and financial assistance to other non-profit agencies such as, Crown Placement Agency in Romania which runs Orphanage to help underprivileged children.

|Section D|Achievements andperformance|
|---|---|
|**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|Global Support Ministry supported and continues to support several
organisations (Kids Alive, Compassion, Scripture Union, Amen) and individuals
in personal and spiritual development. This practice has expanded out into
other communities in London and also overseas in Tanzania, Kenya, India,
Pakistan.
**Romania**
GSM continued its support to the work in Romania. Financial support was
offered to take in refugees in the ministry home. The financial support enabled
the refugees to sort out their passports and visas in case they had to leave
Romania in an emergency.
**Tanzania**
In April 2021 Michael Litanda contacted GSM seeking financial help to support
himself, wife and son. After listening to his story, it was decided that he needed
urgent help. Money was immediately provided for food as they had insufficient
funds to buy food for themselves. Their living conditions were very poor and
needed adequate housing, financial support was given to find suitable
accommodation. The finances were also used to purchase furniture for their
home and also IT equipment. In order to sustain themselves long term, help
was given to start a farm. This has been very beneficial in helping them find
financial stability. GSM also provided English classes for his wife and also
weekly bible studies, mentoring/coaching and pastoral care to them and this
has continued to date via Zoom. GSM also initiated a community project via
Michael, this project helps single mothers to buy uniforms for their children and
also provided financial support for an elderly couple to put windows in their
house. In 2022, Michael and his wife began a business from home making and
selling snacks, this has enabled them to begin working themselves out of circle
of poverty and are doing very well. In addition, they have also started Christian
fellowship in their community teaching and preaching and bible study.
**INDIA**
Pastor Vijay, from India was introduced to GSM in November 2021. He was
having difficulty paying his rent. We supported him and his family with one
month’s rent. GSM provides pastoral care support to him and his wife on a
weekly basis through bible studies, mentoring/coaching and teaching life skills.
We have also provided financial help for medical expenses. A small loan was
given to one of the members of the congregation. A young lady and her three
children were abandoned by her husband. The loan was used to start a small|

business. Through hard work she is now able to provide for herself and family. She is slowly repaying the loan on a monthly basis. The repaid loan will be used to help someone else in need. GSM is also providing spiritual support to Pastor Vijay’s church congregation through bible studies, prayer, counselling etc. Bibles and Biblical teaching materials were purchased for members of the congregation who had none, which has helped with their spiritual growth. Weekly/monthly pastor care, emotional and spiritual support via zoom is in place. Our greatest achievement is helping Pastor Vijay acquire a house to take in ten (10) children from the slumps and providing them with a home, clothes, food and education. We continue to provide monthly financial support for their upkeep and general wellbeing.
## **PAKISTAN**
Evangelists Kashif needed counselling, we took him through a six (6) weeks course and also taught bible studies which is continuing. GSM has also financially supported his ministry. Through the financial donations from GSM, two village schools were opened, and also sewing school so that the villagers can learn a trade to support themselves and their families. These programmes have helped in breaking the circle of poverty within their communities. GSM has continued supporting individuals in providing financial support to purchase sewing machines to sew and make a living. Evangelists Kashif is still receiving pastoral care and continues to grow spiritually, emotionally and practically.
## **Kenya**
GSM supported Bishop Duncan, his family and his congregation in pastoral care and bible study via zoom. During a very stressful period of sickness GSM supported them financially for medical care. We are upholding our Vision and mission statement, in participating in these countries. We have seen the growth and expansion in each one of them.
