**OPEN AIR CAMPAIGNERS (GB)** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The object of the Society (as laid down in its rules) is: 'To advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ by all means but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing to do so particularly by open air evangelism.' This is more usually summed up by the motto "Presenting Christ by all means everywhere" and provided the impetus for all the work planned by the evangelists during 2021; principally, the organisation of regular gospel presentations in busy public areas, but also in school visits and other opportunities as they arose. Page 1 **OPEN AIR CAMPAIGNERS (GB)** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** Chairman's Annual Report for Year Ending 2021 The year 2021 was another unprecedented year, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Roadmap to start coming out of lockdown was announced in February, by the government, and we finally came out of it in July. It was extremely disruptive again to normal social and economic activities in Great Britain, Europe, USA and the world. This prevented the normal activities of OACGB, particularly for the evangelists and associate evangelists. This situation resulted in the evangelists being more innovative in "Presenting Christ by All Means Everywhere"(see below). The year 2021 was our 53rd year and our 4th year as a Charities Incorporated Organisation (CIO). There are at present 6 Trustees on the Council bringing a broad range of experience and expertise to the table or more accurately to the "zoom" table, due to the lockdowns. Now the Council has made OAC GB compliant with new government legislation and the change to a CIO, we are now in a position, for the last two years, to focus more fully on developing a five-year strategic plan. We have made some good progress towards this aim in 2021. All evangelists are now self-employed. Newly retired evangelists continue some work on a voluntary basis. Other volunteers consist of Assistant Evangelists, School Workers and Associates. At this time we have two trainees. When their training is completed this will be followed by a commissioning service for each one, subject to the Covid-19 situation. This gives an opportunity to promote the work of OACGB to many people attending. In addition, there are links with 18 countries in Europe and Africa to encourage and train those who have a heart for evangelism. Moreover, there are many more people participating by supporting and encouraging the above personnel in their outreach work e.g. city-centre teams, branch committees/ support groups and prayer warriors. All the above have been subject to the Covid-19 Pandemic. There are two core activities, one of which is open-air gospel presentations using the sketchboard in towns and city-centres up and down the UK. The other core activity is presenting the gospel to children in primary and secondary schools, often using the sketchboard, where annually, many thousands of children are reached with the Good News. Other activities, clubs and children missions, church based missions, prisons and ship work in presenting the gospel in various formats e.g. magic, puppets, story telling. All these activities were mainly curtailed through most of 2021. However, more and more of the evangelist are producing gospel presentations via the Internet, for example, using YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Podcasts and Zoom. Plans are being made to give training to evangelists where and when appropriate, in "producing" such presentations. Training 'the saints' is now an integral part of OAC's work. Courses are organized and tailored to local churches on many aspects of evangelism. Moreover, courses are run for colleges and other evangelistic organisations as well as regional courses in Cardiff and London for Streetwise, training people to use the sketchboard for presenting the Gospel. There are also links with other evangelistic enterprises, e.g. London City Mission and K180 concerning mission work. These include the Go Mission for London, West Yorkshire Mission and Brighton Fringe Mission. Again, where possible some of the training work took place by means of using zoom. The mission work only took place outside the lockdown, where and when possible. Conferences are held to inspire, encourage, share, pray, together and exchange ideas and best practice. These included the Prayer Conference (Spring), European Conference (bi-annual) and the Evangelist Conference (Autumn) with a variety of good speakers and good attendance. Finally, there is the International Conference held every four years. Page 2 **OPEN AIR CAMPAIGNERS (GB)** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** Again, these conferences took place where possible on zoom, with no face-to-face possible. I would like to thank very much, everyone involved with the OACGB for their commitment to the work in all the various creative alternative ways that they clearly convey the Gospel Message, particularly during this Pandemic year 2021. I would like to thank especially, the National Director and the General Secretary for all their hard work, in particular with producing the new OAC Evangelist Manual, the Legacy Leaflet and the challenge of raising the profile of OAC, through marketing and the social media. I would like to thank the Training Director on his innovative work in developing toolboxes for training purposes and his recruitment and training work. Finally, I would like to thank the Daily Prayer Note Secretary, DBS coordinator, National Accounts Manager for all their work in helping to make OAC operate effectively and economically. All this work took place again through another unprecedented year, again often by innovative means. Some issues to be considered for the year ahead 2022, as we come out of Covid-19 lockdowns, to attract new money, new people and new partners. a. Continue to raise the profile using social media using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Zoom, Podcasts. b. Develop a strategy for growth e.g. partnering Local Churches through Internship, linking with Bible Colleges and UCCF with Summer Internship. May we all know the Lord's Will in the coming year and let us give Him thanks for the past 53 years of building up the OAC Ministries, knowing the Lord is at work here in the UK in many different ways. We know that people need to hear the Good News of the Gospel. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36 ESVi) Graham Worden - OACGB Chairman ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** As at 31 December 2021 reserves stood at £317,601 (2020:£324,919) including an endowment fund of £18,825 (2020:£16,487) Most of the Society's reserves are held in working balances within each branch. Endowments and central funds surplus to immediate requirements are managed so as to achieve a good return whilst remaining secure. The Council have a policy of encouraging branches to maintain adequate reserves for their operational needs, but not to maintain excessive reserves. A similar policy is applied at National level. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The charity is Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Registered Charity Number: 1174749. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** New council trustees are recruited by personal invitation, or by being nominated by an OAC (GB) branch, and are usually brought into the Council initially by being co-opted until the next AGM..

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 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.
