The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## Missionary Work Most of the activity is based in the south of Kenya, south of the city of Mombasa. 2021 has been another busy year for the Mission. The main work has been that of teaching and preaching the Bible to local men, women, and children. This is achieved by regular preaching in the church located on the mission land as well as the efforts to plant a church at Mbita. Also, up to ten Bible classes occur each week, across a large area, where the men of the mission meet with men and women interested to learn more of the Bible. Alongside this there is the work of the Sunday school which is headed by Elsie Gudgeon and Hannah Kingham alongside a youth class aimed at teenagers. Furthermore, the mission seeks to engage in open air work week by week to engage those who would otherwise not hear the Gospel – the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. ## Building Work 2021 has also been busy with building work – the completion of the final water tank to consolidate water supply on the mission premises, the extension of the local dam (water supply) to safeguard against further pressure due to drought for locals, the building of a house for workers/security at the land and the beginning groundworks for a dedicated building for a chapel. ## Humanitarian Work 2021 was a particularly difficult year for the area owing to lack of rain. Crops failed and water ran dangerously low. The Mission was able to engage in humanitarian work – providing food and water to those who were most in need. We are thankful that the Lord has provided the mission with the ability to help in times of need. Medical work has continued, with the mission being able to provide basic medical care for emergencies as well as common illness such as malaria. Alongside this, they have funded and 2 **MOMBASA MISSION (Charity registration number: 1172093) ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** supported more complex medical issues which require specialist treatment at secondary centres in Mombasa – particularly with paediatric cases, which would have a great impact at a low cost, for parents that are unable to afford treatment. The mission continues to support children in school fees and uniforms to allow them to achieve a standard of education that will allow them to read and write. ## **Financial Review** Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period Total income received in the year amounted to £68,190 (2020: £58,748). This enabled the trustees to grant £59,877 (2020: £61,535) to the charitable activities, particularly the building projects. Policy for holding reserves The charity held reserves of £20,217 (2020: £12,312) at the year end. Funds will be transferred as required by the Mission in Kenya but will only ever distribute grants as the funds allow. Going concern The charity was a going concern at the year end and there were no uncertainties regarding this position. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## Governing document The charity a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which is governed by its constitution registered with The Charity Commission on 16 March 2017. Trustee selection New trustees are appointed by the existing board based on skills required. ## **Declarations** The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did 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.
