Trustees’ Annual Report
Period reported: 1[st] January 2024 to 31[st] December 2024 Charity name: Langley Institute of Ministry Charity number: 1181984
The purpose and main activity of the Langley Institute of Ministry (LIM) is to advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in the UK and overseas in accordance with the Statement of Faith. LIM is governed by a Board of Trustees and all Trustees have seen the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and commit to abide by this guidance.
Many of the plans outlined in the Trustees Annual Report of 2023 had to be put on hold due to the significant and unresolved health issues of our President. The following updates can, however, be given:
| Curriculum | Ensuring that the format and content of all teaching materials are | Ongoing |
|---|---|---|
| development | updated and expanded so that they can easily be used by other leaders. | |
| Translation | All course materials to be translated into the local language. | Ongoing |
| Mentoring | The President transitioning from mainly teaching to mainly mentoring. | Complete |
| Structuring of | Wherever practical, standard teaching breaks should be introduced that | Not |
| academic | are common to all regions and nations. This gives both teachers and | progressed |
| year | students an opportunity to pause and reflect on progress. | |
| Delegation to | Training and empowering our national leadership to take decisions on all | Not |

| Leadership | quality of teaching, budgets, care ministry and authorisation to award | |
| graduation certificates. | ||
| UK | Will prioritise their activities on Curriculum Development and fundraising | Complete |
| Leadership | ||
| Appoint Vice | To expand the skill set and experience on the Leadership Team and to | Not |

| Fundraising | Significant increase in operating budget is anticipated if most of the above | Not |
| is to be realised. It is expected that most of this must come from new | progressed | |
| sources of income including grants and commercial donors |
LIM’s financial robustness continues to strengthen. A cash balance of £8872.25 was held in the main bank accounts and carried forward to 2025, of which LIM holds £8497.89 in a contingency account. LIM only pays out expenses from cleared funds and therefore has no liabilities to cover. An independent audit of the 2024 accounts was conducted and were reported to be free from material mis-statement.
There were no changes to the Board of Trustees through 2024.
