Current Trustees were approached through church connections and were confirmed on 24th September 2019. One third of trustees retire by rotation but are eligible for re-election. New Trustees expect to be approached via personal connection or recommendation, with a view to bringing skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
The first two years of Match4Mission’s operation have been challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Prior to the lockdowns due to the pandemic, Trustees met in person. However, during the subsequent lockdowns, meetings have been held electronically over Zoom. The Trustees were assisted with initial development and set-up of the charity from Stewardship Services. IT support has been provided by Simon Petherick Graphic and Web Design Ltd which is on-going.
The charity bank account was opened in January 2020 with Lloyds Bank (Business Banking) – Blackheath, London, whilst registration with HMRC for Gift Aid being granted in September 2020.

The governing documents are its Constitution as a CIO together with a Statement of Faith, which was developed and agreed in August 2019 with the assistance of Stewardship Services (UKET) Ltd (charity no. 234714.)
Charitable Objectives and Activities
The objective of the CIO is to: Advance the Christian Faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith primarily, but not exclusively, through the provision of grant funding to facilitate Christian Mission throughout the world.
Our vision is set-out in the website www.match4mission.org which conveys that God is calling young people from all over the world to participate in the Great Commission, to spread the knowledge and love of Jesus. To encourage, support and assist these young individuals the charity seeks to source and then contribute match-funding via their respective mission organisations. All the mission agencies supported are based in the UK but the projects and individuals supported are worldwide. Donors can nominate the projects which they wish to support and, where appropriate, enhance their contributions with Gift Aid.
With the deteriorating situation and harsh political environment in Myanmar, support has been provided to the Mae Sot evangelical church near the Thai border with Myanmar for its outreach and humanitarian work.
Achievements and Performance
Funding of the charity following initial launch continues to be secured via personal contact. With the launch of the website in April 2020 we have the ability to reach a wider public.
Recognising that the charity website launch has been during the Covid19 lock-down, Trustees have been much encouraged with the generosity of donors, but we hope and pray that our wider vision may be shared and captured by other individuals and organisations will be motivated to donate. This approach will be reviewed, as the hoped-for support of new young donors through the website has not materialised as envisaged.
The projects selected for support by Trustees are those aligned to the Statement of Faith together with agreement between Trustees.
Policy on grant making
Projects supported are listed in note 3 to the accounts. The assistance includes the Naulak family from India in their mission placement in Thailand and organised through OMF International. Similarly, Malata Salamu from Nigeria has been assisted in Accra Ghana through SIM.

Detail of current placement projects are displayed on Match4mission - Videos | Facebook. Additionally financial backing has been given to the translation of and printing of prayer books, sponsored through UK mission agencies.
Financial Review
Income for the year amounted to £11,075 (2020: £6,692) whilst expenditure amounted to £11,382 (2020: £4,969) with the result funds as at 30[th] September 2021 amounts to £1,416 (2020: £1,723) of which £359 (2020: £1,145) was held in the bank current account plus £1,057 (2020: £578) being sums received after the year-end.
Restricted Funds received during the year to 30 September 2021 have been fully distributed to the intended projects. (2020 reserves includes a £100 donation which has been made for a project and hence is shown as a Restricted Fund).
Longer-term the intention is to hold only sufficient funds to settle administrative commitments for may be up-to one year ahead, because the aim of the CIO is to distribute grants to mission projects. The CIO is therefore a going concern.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of MATCH 4 MISSION
Report to the trustees of Match 4 Mission for the year ended 30th September 2021 charity number 1186307, set out on pages 5 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is desirable but not essential.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
