CHAIR’S REPORT

This year saw the coffee shop continuing to go from strength to strength which has enabled more funds to be available for our overseas and local projects. The coffee shop is a safe place for the community in Aldershot and is often a hive of activity. Recently we have taken on students with additional needs from Farnborough Technical College to learn barista skills giving them an opportunity to work in the community and also develop skills useful for them in adult life. Both Ryan and Aggi have been brilliant trainers! The safe environment of the Coffee House has enabled all to flourish.

In July we had a visit from Joel who is the director of the school in Uganda which has further strengthened our relationship with him and the school. It was good to hear first-hand what issues they were facing as well as the successes. In September Simon visited our partners in Sri Lanka and was able to sort out some of the issues we have encountered. Simon was encouraged in particular with our project in Columbo who readily embraced our new way of working moving away from sponsorship based to more project based. It was good to renew and deepen our relationships. As with many charities it has been a tough year financially but through God’s faithfulness we have come out on top. We still aim to build up some of our reserves so that we are in a position to respond to needs more readily.

I would like to thank all the staff at Karuna for all their hard work and dedication in ensuring that Karuna’s vision to support people in poverty is fulfilled. I would also like to thank our willing band of volunteers who keep the coffee shop going alongside Ryan and Aggie (our paid members of staff). Louise has been a huge asset in the office supporting Simon and Jessica in administering the charity. We are blessed to have such a strong team both paid and unpaid who buy into our vision. We look forward to the coming year with excitement and anticipation of God’s blessing in all that we do.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

In determining our programmes, we must regard both the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and prevention and relief of poverty for the public benefit. The trustees ensure that our programmes are in line with our charitable objects and aims.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The name of the charity is KARUNA ACTION. It was formerly known as KINGSCARE, the name being changed in February 2012. The charity was formerly governed by the Declaration of Trust dated 21st October 1998 and registered with the Charity Commission as charity number 1072613. On the 30[th] of September 2019, the charity registered with The Charity Commission as a C.I.O. (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) number 1185570. The charity name and objects remain unchanged.

New trustees are appointed by a resolution of the Trustees at a meeting of the Trustees at which there is a majority of the Trustees present. New Trustees meet with the chairman of the Trustees and are given copies of the accounts for the last 3 years, minutes of Trustee meetings, a copy of the governing trust deed and a copy of the relevant Charity Commission booklet. The Trustees meet formally once or twice a year, though these meetings can be supplemented by Focus Groups on aspects of the charity each consisting a few trustees. All trustees are entitled to attend these Focus Groups. In addition, the directors make extensive use of email facilities to keep trustees up to date on projects and developments.

Trustees are responsible for strategic decisions considering the advice of the directors. The Trustees along with the directors are responsible for making major decisions on donations to partners and overseeing the expenditure of the charity. Our Trustees are unpaid, and details of any Trustee expenses are disclosed in the notes to the accounts. The Directors are responsible for day-to-day operations, making minor changes to grants, controlling expenditure, and monitoring the effectiveness of projects. The Directors meet regularly with the chairman of the Trustees and other Trustees as appropriate.

REVIEW OF THE PERIOD

Our income for the year January to December 2024 was around £370,000 Most of this income originates from individuals and churches in the United Kingdom. Total resources expended were approximately £366,500.

The main ministry of Karuna Action continues to be the relief of poverty throughout the world and the United Kingdom through the support of our partners who are Christian churches or organisations in Albania, India, Mongolia, Russia, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Zambia. Most fundraising activities have been through the distribution of leaflets and newsletters.

The Trustees consider Karuna Action as a going concern and are committed to the charity’s growth and development.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Financial accounts do not directly measure the impact of the charity upon human lives. The main projects have a direct impact on the lives of thousands of children, adults, and families. Praise God for the effect of the following projects on the lives of people:

Education and Youth:

Health Care:

Emergency Relief and Miscellaneous:

Community Action

Raising Awareness

Karuna Coffee Shop

We sell Karuna Coffee by the bean and cup in the coffee shop. The main reasons for selling coffee are;

VOLUNTEER SUPPORT

Karuna Action benefitted from the support of volunteers who undertook various tasks in the governance, administration, and operation of the coffee shop.

FUTURE PLANS

Most of our expenditure overseas is committed to existing projects and the plan for 2024 was to maintain those projects. In 2025 we plan to expand the work and scope of Karuna Action by looking for further opportunities and fundraising to meet the expanding needs of our partners and their initiatives.

FUNDS IN DEFICIT

There were no funds with deficits at the end of the financial year.

RELATED CHARITIES

None.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

There were no government grants in this financial year.

DONATION POLICIES

Donations are made to churches, organisations, and individuals where we have a relationship based on trust and mutual respect. Most donations are made as a part of a regular commitment, but they are dependent on donations received into the appropriate restricted fund.

INVESTMENT POWERS

The CIO foundation document authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held.

REVIEW AND MANAGEMENT OF RISKS

The Trustees review the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated periodically. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces.

RESERVES

We have non-binding commitments to many of our operational projects, largely matched by regular commitments from donors, limiting the requirement to keep reserves. Usable reserves at the 31[st] December are £8,423. This is the general fund balance less the current value of the fixed assets.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards.

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the surplus or deficit of the CIO for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Karuna Action for the period 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024.

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

Responsibilities and basis of report

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust'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

The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified Fellow member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.

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

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

the accounts did 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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Accounting Convention

These accounts 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. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

b) Fund Accounting

The balances in the Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the charitable objectives and represent the usable reserves of the charity.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors. At the period end, any fund deficits are eliminated by a transfer from unrestricted funds unless the Trustees are of the opinion that such deficits will be eliminated by future committed giving.

Expenditure within restricted funds includes direct project development and core costs associated with project development and support allocated according to income received.

Expendable Endowment Funds are those funds which are given to generate income for specific purposes but if the income is insufficient the income from the expendable fund can be used.

c) Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

Incoming Resources with related expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. The CIO has not received any government grants during the accounting period.

Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA during the same period as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment gains and losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the period.

d) Resources Expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis unless indicated otherwise and includes VAT where relevant.

e) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated to write off the cost over their estimated useful lives as follows:

f) Transfers between funds

Where restricted funds have a deficit at the end of the accounting period, transfers are made from unrestricted funds to make good such deficits with the approval of the trustees.

Karuna Action

g) Foreign Currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the period end.

h) Pension Contributions

The C.I.O. participates in a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amount payable by the C.I.O. to the fund in respect of the period.

i) Operating Leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
