achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|At the end of our second year as a charity
(but 4thyear as an organisation), Langley
Institute of Ministry (LIM) had 2,500
students, in 45 centres which are in the
following countries, Angola, India, Kenya,
Nepal, Pakistan, Tanzania, Uganda, and
West Bengal.
These centres have impacted the lives of
thousands of people in the church and their
local communities.
Our students have commented that being
part of LIM, has increased their sense of
dignity for both themselves and their
families, self-worth and sense of purpose.
At a community level, being part of LIM has
increased their social standing, as they
have more confidence, they feel that they
are become better citizens and has
supported to fight corruption in both actions
and in the wider community.
This year has seen the creation of 3 new
centres which are in Nepal, Pakistan and
Angola and has seen the development of
new leaders, as part of developing a
sustainable locally-led leadership network.
As part of our poverty alleviation work, LIM
has started a sewing machine project with
8 beneficiaries in Nepal which has been
sewing masks and clothes in the local
market. In Pakistan, there are 4 sewing
machine projects with 27 women, which
supports both the participants and ensures
that the LIM work can become sustainable.
LIM also supports students and their
communities with food relief, so far
communities in (pre covid-19) Lahore,
Lalitpur, Bahawalpur, Khanewal, Pottiko
(Pakistan). Berhampur, Guntur, Raipur,
Kerala, Khammam, Kurnool (India).
Food aid. We often sponsor food
distribution for not only our own LIM
students and families but to the community
also.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

Launch of Sustainability Projects
Frequently our leaders have begun to
aspire to greater things than they had
previously imagined possible because their
work has opened doors to greater
opportunities. Our founder has been
mentoring a number of our leaders through
difficult personal issues, as well as post
graduate studies (B.Th, &M.Div).| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising

against objectives|Para 1.41|No investments.| |Other||We think it is important to flag up that since
LIM began we have sadly had a number of
failed centres (10) although two of these
have now been restored. We have learned
so much from this.
**Reasons:**Leadership corruption, work
issues, persecution, health issues,
impossible internet connection,
vandalism/theft, translation issues. We are
learning.
**Lessons:**Our founder and leader has
developed a far more robust means of
assessing the suitability of a centre leader
now. True motivations need to be
assessed over a longer period of time.| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s

objectives including any

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|•
As a new charity, the lack of established
donors (both individual and corporate)
in order to plan work for the medium or
long term, especially in uncertain
financial times.
•
High demand for the work of LIM and
the risk of over-extending current
funding and creating expectation of
funding that cannot be fulfilled.
•
Partners overdependence on LIM to the
detriment of local sustainability projects
and local fundraising initiatives.
•
Rev Keith King, a full-time volunteer
and founder currently leads many of the
activities of LIM and leads on the
Strategic Direction. How does the
charity successfully prepare a transition
of leadership at the appropriate time?
