Objectives and Activities

The charitable purpose of Kingdom Impact according to our foundational document is “The advancement of the Christian faith and the relief of need for the public benefit, by making grants of money to not for profit organisations in Tanzania, Malawi, South Africa or such other countries as the truste es ma y decide.”

Grants are made in the context of long-lasting relationships between the beneficiaries and the donors. These have been formed through Churches in Bedford and NewFrontiers, an international network of churches.

Our practice is to seek relationships that would benefit from grants of money that relieve hardship and enable the creation of sustainable economic development. Grants are provided in the context of advancing the Christian faith without prejudice as to race, creed, or other factors.

The trustees follow the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Kingdom Impact has now completed its seventh year of operation and the following trend indicates a slowing down from a strong growth position. In 2023, we received a planned investment that was to cover 2 years of expenditure and this is indicated by the reduction in overall fund balances in the current year.

Most of our income came from the continuing personal donations of our supporters to projects or mission support through restricted funds. Many of our donors are involved with the fulfilment of the subsequent grants that are made including the receipt of newsletters from beneficiaries and from visits.

Our fundraising project “Kingdom Impact Accounts” continues to provide sales income on a regular basis from 13 Churches or Charities who are signed up with our licences for accounting software or for accounting services. Income from this stream covers all our own administrative expenditures with surplus for grants.

Review of Grants by restricted fund and country:

The following discussion of grants should be read in connection with Note 7 - Funds of the Charity at Page 15 and the Analysis of Significant Grants at Page 13.

As a grant making charity our aim first of all is to honour the wishes of our donors, many of whom are closely involved in communicating with beneficiaries and in administration of grants..

Kingdom Impact Trustees Report and Financial Statements For the period ending 31st.August 2024

Our strategy is to make most of our projects self-sustaining and to treat money spent short term as providing for the future with less dependency on external funds.

South Africa

We support Kingdom Impact South Africa (KISA) - the NGO run by Andy and Rose Freeks at Oviston, Central Cape. KISA continues to be our largest ministry. This is focused on Resurgence which seeks to help young adults escape a life of poverty, drugs and gang affiliation. This is achieved through a residential Christian discipleship course. The course runs for 3 months at a time and involves bible study, physical activity training with outreach into the local community.

During the year a Children’s Early Years Centre was established at a separately owned premises. Increasingly this year focus has been on the need for KISA to become long term sustainable. This is being achieved by employing one Ex-Resurgence person to take leadership of the woodworking business which is now functioning.

A good start has been made locally to commence a “Savings Fund” for the purchase of Oviston Lodge which has been occupied by KISA since its commencement in 2015.

We also support a similar but smaller venture run by Pastor and Mrs Stoffels at Johannesburg.

The ongoing support of NewFrontiers International through ‘Regions Beyond’ is gratefully acknowledged both at an international level and through local leadership connections.

Malawi

Janet’s House Orphanage is our main project run by Yabok Social Welfare and houses 9 orphans. We provide grants for food, normal operating costs and this year a study/library extension has been provided by donations in memory of a close relative of the founder of Janet’s House. We have continued funding Self sustaining projects through Pastors Alec Mulalo and Helix Chigonmlunje, with investments in Water Projects both to provide “clean water” and irrigation purposes.

We acknowledge the Support of (suggest types of donor rather than names and how connected)

Tanzania

This year “Kingdom Impact Tanzania (KIT) ” a locally registered NGO Non Profit organisation set up in 2023 has been our sole partner in Tanzania. Edward Mhone is now managing the entire portfolio of projects which continues to be the empowerment of Individuals and Churches through the provision of resources for income producing activities and unfortunately for ongoing provision of funds to meet medical emergencies.

The books of KIT are closely monitored in the UK for effectiveness which is done ‘online’ using KI Accounts.

For the first time we have invested in ‘working capital’ amounting to 11M TSHS which is £3,500. These investments will stay on the books of KIT and are being used as work in progress for our cocoa and grains supply businesses, These 2 businesses are expected to make returns to KIT on a profit share basis.

We acknowledge the Support of FINDNEWLIFE Church who has donated £2,400 to KIT to assist in the provision of a major project in 2025 to provide living accommodation/workshop for a disabled person whom we have supported since childhood and is now to embark, we trust, in a sustainable future as an adult.

Kenya

We have continued to channel funds through a relationship with Pastor Tonny Onyanga who pastors Churches in Nairobi. Our projects again are self-sustaining employment producing but we are also involved in Orphan support and establishing a suitable owned meeting place for the main Church centre.

An existing donor has recently commenced giving towards the support of a Teacher in Kenya through ‘Africa Inland Mission’.

Cameroon Ark

Cameroon Ark is a locally established NGO in Central Cameroon, West Africa.

Work has now been completed to provide a research visitor centre in a small village within the Congo Basin Forest in Cameroon.

This community development plus ecology safeguarding project has been provided and managed by a group of Scientists headed by Dr Andrew Spicer who have made visits during the year to check out that everything is as intended for International guests. We had our first American guests in January and February and a team of German scientists stayed this summer. As well as creating jobs, supporting education and raising awareness around forest conservation, one of the missions of the Cameroon Ark project is discovery. Through work that has been carried out with a German group of scientists it's conservatively estimated that 300 new species of moth will be described from the surrounding forest over the next 2 years. The first reports have included completely undiscovered biology and have changed some of the current thinking on the ecosystems represented within the local forest. Kew Gardens have also recently reported a completely new tree species in the local Congo Basin Forest. Finally, Cameroon Ark has been providing insect livestock to a film crew linked with the BBC Natural History unit and the Discovery Channel and National Geographic Wildlife Documentaries. We lost a dear brother, Gabriel, age 37, and part of the Cameroon Ark founding team this May to sepsis following a wound he suffered to his neck. Monies received through Cameroon Ark supported his end of life medical care as well as his funeral. A grove of trees has been planted in the local forest in Gaby's memory.

UK Charities

We have a very active donor who is funding the UK training of an employee of the Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) with the intention of being relocated to Kenya when the training is completed. Also we have supported a local Bedford Food Kitchen.

Financial review

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, and the relevant version of the 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).

The following statement was made last year “we received several one-off high value donations which are probably not to be repeated.” These donations were in the form of capital investments which have been largely paid out in 2024 and which explains the fact that our Net Assets/Funds is now at a much lower level.

There are no uncertainties relating to Kingdom Impact being a going concern as our base line donation income remains constant

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have considered their exposure to financial risk and believe that all liabilities are covered on an ongoing basis through our monthly licence fee income which more than covers administration fees. The reserves policy is to hold not more than 6 months of expenditure relating to administrative overhead as unrestricted reserves. The actual unrestricted reserves in the current year are £ 547 (2023 £1,921). Our ongoing strategy is not to increase “free reserves”

The Restricted Reserves at year end are restricted to committed expenditures in the next 12 months and amounts to £ 6,613 (2023 £23,003)

All restricted reserves are for planned expenditures in the next financial year.

Structure, governance, and management

The charity is a “Charitable Incorporated Organisation” with trustees and a constitution.

We have 5 trustees. (2022: 5). Trustees are selected from those who have the requisite governance skills and interpersonal skills to effect change, development, and progress.

Trustees meetings have been conducted 0nline, in person and by formal meetings. Governance has been greatly assisted by all records being online and accessible online by trustees.

The Charity is totally dependent on volunteer support and donations which is gratefully acknowledged.

Declarations

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

Kingdom Impact Trustees Report and Financial Statements For the period ending 31st.August 2024

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 General information and basis of preparation

Kingdom Impact is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in England.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the 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 issued in October 2019 (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The accounts are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are round to the nearest whole £.

1.2 Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period (3.46 FRS 102 SORP).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period.

2.1 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. Transfers are made from unrestricted to restricted funds as necessary to prevent restricted funds from going into deficit. Transfers are also made between restricted funds according to requests from donors after the donations are made.

2.2 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the income, if it is more likely than not that it will receive the resources and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the SoFA when receivable. Grants are included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria above are met. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. Investment income is included when received.

Kingdom Impact Trustees Report and Financial Statements For the period ending 31st.August 2024

2.3 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognized on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT that cannot be fully recovered, which is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. The Trustees have carefully considered allocating support costs to restricted projects but with exceptions have decided not to.

Our income from the provision of accounting services is sufficient to pay for Support Costs and so our policy is only to allocate where the donors to restricted accounts are aware of the need to pay for such support and wish “their money” to be used in this way.

Normally we inform donors that 100% of their donations plus applicable Gift Aid (25%) reaches the projects they support.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the charity’s legal constitution.

2.4 Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amounts advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at cash or other consideration expected to be received.

2.5 Creditors

Creditors and accruals are recognized when liability for payment is recognized but not paid.

2.6 Capital Assets

These are only capitalised for item expenditures in excess of £1,000.
