## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
_**Structure, governance and management**_
## _Governing document_
THE BURN 24-7 UNITED KINGDOM is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 13 Jun 2017.
## _The Burn 24-7 as an organisation_
The Burn 24-7 - UK operates primarily in the United Kingdom, with links with churches and Christian organisations both in the UK and internationally. In particular, Burn 24-7 UK relates very strongly to the Burn 24-7 as a global movement, operating in over thirty countries worldwide, in around 300 locations. Burn 24-7 is a movement of burning hearts across the world returning to their first love for Jesus and then taking that love to the nations.
Local Burn Furnaces are at the heart of the movement. These are communities of passionate worshippers from across different churches and denominations who unify around the p resence of God for ‘Burns’ – extended times of worship and prayer which take place on a regular basis.
Burn 24-7 UK started in 2009 and has grown since to around 30 Burns across the UK. The movement is growing as new Burn Furnaces are launched. There is a hunger stirring across the nation for the presence of God and to see night and day worship established.
Discipleship and training is carried out via the online ‘Field Training’ programme. We also have an annual residential discipleship school, Hillside Intensive, and an apprenticeship programme.
Our UK missions arm is developing with regular outreaches to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, via the ‘ Love Project ’ to a large pagan festival, and other local street outreach. In the past we have sent several mission trips overseas e.g. to refugee camps in Northern France and in India. Through our wider connections with the Burn 24-7 Global we are currently involved in supporting a missions base in Northern Iraq.
Within the United Kingdom an organisational structure has developed to provide this largely ‘ grassroots ’ movement effective support for sustainable growth. Local Furnaces have at least one D irector ultimately responsible for pioneering it with the Holy Spirit’s help. Directors are strongly encouraged to prioritise the development of a local team that will share the vision and bring different skills to bear on its fulfillment. Local Furnace Directors are supported by a National Leadership Team which includes the National Director, five Regional Directors, an Administrator and others providing

additional support for areas such as evangelism and overseas mission, technology and social media.
## _The Burn 24-7 as a charity_
The charity was established in 2017 in support of the wider aims of the organisation. Being registered as a charity provides a context within which good practice can be applied to financial accountability and social responsibility. As such the board of Trustees aims to meets at least quarterly and, within the constraints of one Trustee living overseas, to make two of these meetings face to face. These meetings are to allow Trustees to review the finances, risk management, legal issues and other matters affecting the charitable company.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
## _Trustees added_
In November 2020, James Waters, Robin Mark Dillamore and Jocelyn Claire Dillamore were added as Trustees.
## _**Objectives, activities and achievements**_
The objectives of the charity are:
- The advancement of the Christian faith;
- The stirring of prayer and worship within the wider church;
- The facilitation of mission and evangelism in the UK and wider.
## _Local Furnaces_
Local Furnaces are at the heart of the Burn 24-7. There are around thirty Burn furnaces in the UK, with more being added every year. We are convinced that everything in life should flow from a place of first love for God.
There is a variety in the level of activity, depending on where each local Furnace is in its development process, but the majority consistently hold extended (at least six hours, often more) worship and prayer times, with sessions led by worship leaders representing the church across their locality. Burn 24-7 UK has a rising profile within the UK church, which is helping connections with local leaders, and an increasing sense of favour for what we are doing. We love to partner with other parts of the body of Christ, and our Directors are often found supporting other similar ventures under those ventures’ own banners.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Covid-19 pandemic continued throughout the reporting period. Lockdowns and other restrictions on in-person gatherings brought about different responses from local Burn Furnaces. Some entered a period of sabbatical and reflection whilst others continued to worship regularly online using platforms such as Zoom, StreamYard and Facebook. Responses to online worship were mixed; benefits included the opportunity for believers to ‘attend’ Burns without geographical limitations but many found it difficult to engage actively (e.g. in singing and dancing).
## _National Initiatives_
As a national movement, we gathered regularly online throughout the reporting period. Furnace Directors participated in calls, some regional and some national. In addition:
- In September 2020, we held an online ‘Summit’ – a day of worship and prayer. This also provided the opportunity to welcome Robin and Claire Dillamore as new National Directors, and to celebrate with James Waters as he stepped down from the role.
- In January 2021 we began the year with a week of prayer and fasting, culminating in a 24- hour online ‘Burn’ which involved people from across t he UK and overseas.
- In February 2021 we held a national 12- hour online ‘Burn’ .
- Leaders within Burn UK shared responsibility for leading weekly prayer calls.
## _Burn 24-7 UK Missions_
Burn 24-7 UK Missions seeks to:
- See the restoration of the UK as a great sending nation of long and short-term missions
- Train and equip local Burns across the UK to become missional – activating them in local, supernatural outreach
- Plant Furnaces of worship all over the world, bringing worship to the darkest places
## _Overseas mission trips:_
- As a result of Covid-19 restrictions it was not possible to undertake any overseas mission trips
## _UK mission trips_
- As a result of Covid-19 restrictions it was not possible to undertake any UK mission trips

## _Equipping and Training_
We are committed to building people up to be able to fulfill the calling to love God and love the world He loves. To this end we run several initiatives aimed at equipping believers through the word and practical engagement.
## _Hillside Intensive_
- As a result of Covid-19 restrictions it was not possible to run Hillside Intensive in the summer of 2020
## _Burn 24-7 Apprenticeship_
This is a year ’ s programme with lots of hands on application and personal mentoring towards gaining practical leadership and ministry skills. Field Training (see below) forms part of the apprenticeship programme.
In 2020-21, we had one apprentice attached to the Durham Burn Furnace and its associated House of Prayer.
## _Field Training_
This is an online course developed by the Burn 24-7 global community with an orientation towards establishing people in the Burn 24-7 DNA.
During the report period Field Training was significantly redeveloped by the global team so that it changed from a 9-month distance learning approach, with guided mentoring and assessment, to an 8 module self-paced approach with support offered via social media. Teaching and learning takes place via pre-recorded videos, Bible study, and required reading by a wide variety of authors. Modules included: Biblical Foundations of the worship and prayer movement; revival history; missions; and practical teaching on how to build a team and lead a successful Burn Furnace.
Field Training is recommended to local Burn furnace directors and members of their teams and is open and available to anyone interested in developing a fuller understanding of the worship and prayer movement.
Some of the challenges for UK students in accessing this course were overcome during 2020-21. A pilot mentoring groups was established within Burn UK, with a British leader. This group worked through the materials together at a manageable pace and proved to be successful. Development of this model, and of the teaching and learning materials is anticipated in the future.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## _**Financial Statements**_
Becoming a charity provides a healthy motivation to develop and manage finances for the organization in a way that both assists us in meeting our objectives, and ensures that we are accountable and acting in line with legal responsibilities.
As the charity has developed since registration, we have developed a bookkeeping system which provides accountability for local furnaces to raise finances (through free will offerings at monthly burns and regular giving via standing orders). Funds raised are posted to the shared bank account and registered within a ‘virtual sub account’ within the wider Burn 24-7 finances. A donation of 10% is recommended from each furnace to help cover ‘generic costs’, such as paying for the cost of bookkeeping. As a charity we monitor the payments received and will claim gift aid where it is appropriate. We also use this account and bookkeeping system to manage other corporate activities such as Hillside and the annual summit.
The Trustees 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).
In the year ended 31 March 2021, the annual income of the charity was below the threshold at which an independent examination becomes a requirement. However, the appended financial statements, prepared by a qualified accountant, outline the charity’s receipts and payments for the year together with its year-end financial position.
