## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Charity Name: 5th Gospel Christians** 

## **Other names by which the charity is known: 5GC** 

## **Charity Registration Number: 1183680** 

**Website:** www.5gc.org 

## A. **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document** 

To advance the Christian religion for the benefit of the public in such ways as the trustees consider appropriate by relieving need, hardship and distress amongst Christian persons and their families and dependents (in particular, but without limitation, those in the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem including Palestine, Israel, Jordan and Cyprus) who have become displaced persons or refugees from their countries of origin or domicile by reason of hostilities or religious persecution, oppression or discrimination or other like causes. 

## **Additional details - Policies on Grant Making and Assistance to Refugees & other Beneficiaries** 

**A key policy of the charity is direct engagement** with the beneficiaries by visits, email and telephone, and to link parishes and individuals with parishes and charitable organisations in the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. 

**Hard copies and a database** of asylum-seeker and refugee families supported by the charity are kept in a secure office. Confidential personal information is also electronically stored in accordance with GDPR regulations and the Charity’s Privacy Policy. The core document for each family is registration as a UNHCR Asylum Seeker in transit for re-settlement in a third country. Files are updated as new families arrive and archived when families obtain visas and leave. 

**Financial distributions** for basic sustenance are made to each family of the community on a per capita basis. Assistance with rent and food boxes for a family are given per household, as several families share accommodation. 

**Assistance for chronic medical** conditions is given where major medical charities cannot offer support, and a consultant’s fee is paid when, in their discretion, the trustees feel it necessary. 

**Assistance for acute medical need** is given from funds raised by special appeal for the purpose. 

**Assistance for mental health** and parenting is given to the refugees both in workshops and individually, with professional psychological support. 

**Equitable Policies** for grant-making and assistance are safeguarded by keeping trustees and advisors in close touch with the needs of the communities in Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

## **Patron** 

Bishop Emeritus Rt. Reverend Christopher Budd R.I.P. 

Bishop Christopher died on 1 April 2023. The charity wishes to record its appreciation for the moral and spiritual inspiration given to the charity by Bishop Christopher and its deep sadness caused by his death. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. 

## **Volunteer team in Jordan** 

From the early part of 2023 the volunteer team from the Iraqi community benefited from the Australian and Canadian Governments’ sudden granting of visas. Furthermore, their Senior Partner Iptisam (Jordanian American) was recalled to the United States, leaving the volunteer team in Jordan severely depleted.

|Bassam Zaki|Partner|1 Jan - 31 Dec 2023|

**Contribution made by volunteers:** all the charity’s officers and personnel are volunteers, and currently fund most of their expenses to contribute to the running of the charity. The offices, flat in Jordan, facilities and equipment are provided free of charge by trustees. UK parishes and donors are all volunteers, and all fund-raising is voluntary. 

**Meetings:** Trustee meetings in 2023 continued via Zoom, and frequent electronic contact was made with advisors. Contact has been maintained electronically by the office with Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Australia.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

**Visits to Jordan and the Holy Land:** Visits had started again following Covid restrictions but abruptly ceased at the outbreak of hostilities in Israel on 7 October 2023 when the FCDO advised against all but essential travel. The situation impacted our key policy of direct engagement of charity personnel with the beneficiaries. 

**Risk to the charity:** Steps have been taken to address the concern mentioned in the initial Trustee Annual Report, that one trustee is doing almost all the administration as well as being its main Field Worker. 

## **Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the** C. **Charity Commission on public benefit** 

The trustees have complied with their duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to public benefit, and funds were used in accordance with the charity's aims. 

The charity’s work in Jordan, particularly teaching English, was dramatically affected in January and February 2023 by the granting of visas to Australia and Canada to the refugees, which included all our students. The families who were left were not interested in learning English. One last distribution of food and funds was conducted at Easter 2023. Funds were sent direct to the parish in Bethlehem and to the Home for abandoned and orphaned children with special needs.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

- **Summary of the main achievements and performance of the charity in relation to those purposes** 

- D. **for the public benefit identified in the accounts, and identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.** 

**The focus in 2023** was to assist the small number of refugee families in Madaba remaining but switched to the planning and implementation of a whole new project at the request of the Madaba Latin parish of St John the Baptist and the senior school. Whilst no longer running the charity’s English school in Madaba, planning started on a pilot project to assist with teaching English in the parish high school. The plan was to begin initially with an intensive English cultural 6-week immersion in June 2024. Iraqi children would be included as a matter of course. Due to the worsening situation caused by the war in Israel as 2023 ended, the plan had to be shelved for 2024. In Bethlehem the charity remained in support of the Bethlehem home for abandoned children and orphans with disabilities. 

**Food distribution and donations** : a distribution of food boxes was made by the charity team in May 2023 and funds were also taken to Jerusalem and Bethlehem for needy families. Via Caritas in Jerusalem, donations of clothes and simple medicines were taken to Gaza with the help of Caritas, Jerusalem. 

**Adult Education:** The charity ‘s support for the two students at Madaba University came to an abrupt close in 2023 when both students were granted visas for Australia and Canada. 

**School children:** Schools had re-opened in the Autumn of 2022, but Iraqi families had been reluctant to register children for a further year, and few Iraqi children attended. 

**Advocacy** : The charity continued its study of religious persecution, justice and human rights with reference to the Iraqi refugees. It is hoped that this and similar studies will provide valuable information and direction to contribute to public awareness and help with the mental and physical stability of refugees. 

## **Social investment** 

**The focus mission** of the charity to asylum seekers and refugees is in long-term assistance through education, vocational training and mental well-being. In addition, the charity seeks the relief of hardship and distress in acute cases of poverty and medical emergencies, primarily in Palestine and Jordan. 

**Genuine financial hardship:** the charity sought to address needs through the distribution of food boxes in Jordan, funds to Bethlehem and clothes to Gaza via Caritas. 

**Mental health and well-being:** medical reports clarified that the severe imposition of curfew and lockdown in Bethlehem and Madaba caused significant harm to the mental health of families and individuals, particularly to children. For many it was relieved in 2022 and 2023 by visas granted to them for Australia and Canada.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## E. **Financial Review** 

**The focus in 2023** was to assist the small number of refugee families in Madaba who remained, but the charity changed its focus to begin a new project at the request of the Madaba Latin parish of St John the Baptist and the senior school. 

**Food distribution and donations** : a distribution of food boxes was made by the charity team in May 2023 and funds were also taken to Jerusalem and Bethlehem for needy families. Via Caritas in Jerusalem, donations of clothes and simple medicines were taken to Gaza. 

## **Adult Education:** 

The charity ‘s support for the two students at Madaba University came to an abrupt close in 2023 when both students were granted visas for Australia and Canada. 

## **School children:** 

The charity began to look at more ways to engage with young people in Jordan. 

**Advocacy:** The charity continued its study of religious persecution, justice and human rights with reference to the Iraqi refugees. It is hoped that this and similar studies will provide valuable information and direction to contribute to public awareness and help with the mental and physical stability of refugees. 

**Policy on Reserves:** The Trustees consider £1,000 sufficient to keep in reserves. 

**Principal Sources of funds:** from parishes and individuals responding to fundraising appeals. 

**Expenditure:** the charity’s expenditure has been entirely to support the key objectives of the charity.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of 5th Gospel Christians** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of 5th Gospel Christians for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of 5th Gospel Christians you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the 5th Gospel Christians's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of 5th Gospel Christians as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

## **5th Gospel Christians** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

5th Gospel Christians meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

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. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

Page 11 



## **5th Gospel Christians** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £250.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Office equipment Straight line over 4 years 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Page 12 



## **5th Gospel Christians** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)** 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Financial instruments** 

## _**Classification**_ 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. 

## _**Recognition and measurement**_ 

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Page 13 



## **5th Gospel Christians** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)** 

## _**Debt instruments**_ 

Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method: 

(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate. 

(b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. 

(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law; or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a). 

(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. 

(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. 

(f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c). 

Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment. 

With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment.
