## **1186307 Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30[th] September 2022**
## **Trustees Annual Report**
The Trustees present their third annual report for the year ending 30 September 2022. Match 4 Mission was first registered with the Charity Commission England & Wales on 13[th] November 2019.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
There are no employees and all matters are progressed by Trustees. The Trustees are:
Guido Braschi Chair Linda Braschi Seow Kheng Nellie Low Secretary Kaping Kevin Sham Robert Dallimore Treasurer
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 the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
This third year of operation has continued to be difficult following the initial two years of challenging operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and now exacerbated by the repercussions of the war in Ukraine.
During the year to September meetings have continued to be held over the internet. The website **www.match4mission.org** continues to be maintained and supported by Simon Petherick Graphic and Web Design Ltd.
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 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 world-wide. Donors are able to nominate the projects to which they wish to support and where appropriate enhance their contributions with Gift Aid.
With the continuation of the political unrest in Myanmar, further 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**
The year’s fundraising has been encouraging with a significant one-off grant from Christ Church Woking, which followed a similar grant from URCO received in January. Conversely, the amount collected from individuals has not matched the values reached last year. Guido & Linda Braschi attended the OMF conference in March with a view to publicising the outreach of M4M , plus advertising in the “Christianity” magazine in May. These initiatives generated a considerable number of “hits” on the website but have not translated into securing voluntary donations via the website or PayPal.
The donations received have enabled us to help the Mae Sot church in Thailand with its support of the refugees fleeing from the conflict in Myanmar. Additionally, we have been able to nurture eight further projects where individuals or families have left their homeland to spread the Good News of Jesus in a different culture. In the same way that Barnabas was an encourager, we believe we have supported, aided and encouraged those who have given their lives to spread the Gospel.
There is an element of disappointment that approaches we have made to Trust Funds has not translated into funding for the projects and individuals we have promoted through our website. Nonetheless, we
2
hope and pray that our wider vision may be shared and captured by other individuals and organisations motivated to donate. This approach will be reviewed.
## **Policy on grant making**
The projects selected for support by Trustees are those aligned to the Statement of Faith together agreement between Trustees. The projects supported are listed in note 3 to the accounts. The assistance includes the Naulak family from India in their mission placement in Thailand which is organised through OMF International. Similarly, we continued to support Malata Salamu from Nigeria who has been sponsored in Accra Ghana through SIM. Details of current placement projects are displayed on Match4mission - Videos | Facebook. Last year, we gave financial backing to the translation and printing of prayer books, sponsored through UK mission agencies.
## **Financial Review**
Income for the year amounted to £4,700 (2021: £11,075) whilst expenditure amounted to £5,714 (2020: £11,382) with the result funds as at 30[th] September 2021 amounts to £402 (2020: £571) which is entirely held in the bank current account.
All funds received during the year to 30 September 2022 have been to the General Fund. (Restricted Funds received during the year to 30 September 2021 have been fully distributed to the specified projects.)
Longer-term the intention remains to hold only sufficient funds to settle administrative commitments for 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 2022 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.

Notes to the Accounts:
## **Note 1 – Accounting Policies**
_Basis of Preparation_
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) and applicable Accounting Standards (FRS 102). Assets and liabilities are recognised at transaction value.
## _Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis_
The trustees consider that the charity is a going concern and therefore the accounts have been prepared on that basis.
_Income recognition policies_
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when there is sufficient certainty of receipt, and the amount can be measured reliably.
## _Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT_
Expenditure is recognised when incurred and when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is changed as a cost.
