## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's  Deeds of Association , the Charities Act 2011 and "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** 

Speak Life registered as a CIO in 2019 (charity number 1185137), but was founded in 1952 as ‘The Hour of Revival Association’ (charity number 232509) constitution formalised in writing in 1954 with the following objects: 

- to create a revival of the Christian faith in the UK and beyond; 

- to promote and encourage the Christian evangelisation of people throughout Great Britain and other parts of the world; 

- to assist and encourage all persons to adopt a Christian faith and to live a positive Christian life. 

We are looking to review our mission statement in the summer of 2022. However, at present our mission remains the same, and is centred around: 

- Reviving Christians; 

- Resourcing the Church; 

- Reaching the World. 

Our strategic goals for 2021 - 2022 remain focused on: 

- Christ-centred evangelism; 

- Church-focused mission; 

- Bible-rich training; 

- World-reaching resources. 

The trustees have have paid due regard to general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

Following on from Glen Scrivener's ‘Who are you in the Story?’ (released in Feb 2021)  Speak Life facilitated a number of interviews with the likes of Diane Lanberg, Sam Alberry, Lori-Anne Thompson and Lee Furney, which were well received. 

A number of shorts were also produced, including Mr Thankful, Christ Mouse and The Night Before Christmas, alongside the introduction of the weekly Speak-easy, which has also been distributed as a Podcast.

**TRUSTEES REPORT  (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **SPEAK LIFE** 

## **The Foundry** 

The Foundry, Speak Life’s School of Creative Evangelism, continues to be developed with both a Development Director and Foundry Manager being employed. To compliment Year Out, our 10-month training programme, September 2021 saw the launch of two new streams – Intensives and Unlocked. The Intensives, offered over 4 weeks this academic year, sees creatives gathering together for theological and practical training. Whilst our Unlocked Fridays communicate a Theology for Life and Mission in the morning, with a focus on Stories to win the world during the afternoon. 

July 2021 saw us saying goodbye to Rory and Thomas (our Year Out 20-21 students). In September 2021 we welcomed 6 new students onto Year Out. Fifty people accessed the Foundry in 21-22 across the three streams. 

## **Speaking Ministry** 

Our speaking ministry continued to be affected by COVID restrictions, and there was a need to cancel, postpone or move engagements online. Despite these restrictions Glen and Nate Morgan Locke partnered with churches, universities and missions across the UK, speaking at 58 engagements. Talks are often recorded and shared online. 

## **Speak Life Daily** 

Containing 31 good news stories from Speak Life and around the world, the SLD continues to be collated and sent out to 1400 subscribers, by either post or email, each quarter (June, Sept, Dec and Mar) 

## **Publications** 

Glen finished ‘The Air We Breathe’ which will be released in June 2022, and continues to write articles for Evangelicals Now. 

## **321 / 321-Go** 

321 continues to be a helpful evangelistic resource for churches. Re-filming was once again delayed in 2021-2022 due to the COVID-19 restrictions. As the leading edge of Speak Life, there are outline plans to start re-filming the main components, a series of straight to camera, animations and short films, during 2022-23. 

## **International Giving** 

Speak Life continues to receive minimal funds for Dan & Suzie Dugmore (YWAM, Blantyre, Malawi) – which has been forwarded on accordingly.  We continue to reach out to those that give in this manner, with a view to ceasing our financial involvement. 

## **Speak Life Studios** 

The Street Pastors continue to make use of the Hub as a prayer space each weekend, and the studios and offices are used throughout our Foundry training, media production and content creation. Further renovations were made to the Foundry workspace during summer 2021. 

## **Data Protection** 

We take seriously our commitments under the General Data Protection Regulations. In December 2019 as part of our on-going commitment to GDPR compliance - by design and default - we invested in a new data base. We never sell personal data to any third party.

**TRUSTEES REPORT  (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **SPEAK LIFE** 

## **Financial review** 

We are particularly pleased to report that our financial position remains robust. With the benefit of substantial legacies received this year, our accounts are in surplus, and we hold sufficient reserves to more than fulfil our reserves policy of maintaining the equivalent of 50% of annual expenditure in reserve. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three  to six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the  charity ’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. A further safeguarding review is currently in progress. 

The organisation intends continuing with its current activities – with particular emphasis on evangelism, training and publications - to further meet its objectives in the future. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

In September 2019 the Hour of Revival formed a CIO under the name Speak Life, charity number 1185137. 

The trustees who served during the year  and up to the date of signature of the financial statements  were: Mrs Y Ibbett 

Mr J Dale Pastor R Owen Mr P Bhogal Mrs C Brindley (Resigned 31 January 2022) Mr S Foster 

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

## **Staff (Trustees, Management, Staff & Volunteers)** 

Mrs C Brindley resigned as trustee in January 2022, when she then commenced a paid role as Foundry Manager. 

At the start of the financial year, the following staff were in position: Rev Glen Scrivener (CEO; Ministry Director); Mr Paul Feesey (part-time Associate Evangelist), and Mrs Emily Lynch (Office and Finance Manager). Mr Peter Staley and Mr Max Patterson were retained to provide operational and strategic support and production support respectively. 

A number of appointments were made during 21-22, namely; Mrs Mattea Hart as Administrative Support in June; Mr Nate Morgan Locke as Development Director in August; Mr Thomas Thorogood as Production Assistant in September and finally Mrs Christine Brindley as Foundry Manager (see above) in January.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SPEAK LIFE** 

## **SPEAK LIFE** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Speak Life (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

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 that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the  financial statements do not comply with the applicable 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. 

- 5 - 



## **SPEAK LIFE** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF SPEAK LIFE** 

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  financial statements to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information**

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution,  the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity . Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

## **SPEAK LIFE** 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
