REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2020. In this report, the trustees have adopted the Charity Commission template for the preparation of annual reports for small non-company charities (SORP FRS 102).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives

The purpose of the Charity is to advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in the UK. The strategy to achieve this objective is mainly, but not exclusively, through:

Summary of Main Activities

The Charity is organised into 12 branches based on geographical areas in England, and 5 guilds, each of which has national reach and draws membership from the branches along the protected characteristics of any one (or combination) of gender, age, and vocation. For the year under review, the main activity of the charity was advancing the Christian faith through the holding of monthly church services at each branch. These were held in person prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic-induced national lockdown. For the remainder of the year starting from March 2020, the services were held virtually. Conferences, prayer meetings, bible studies were also held virtually throughout the lockdown period. This against a backdrop of most of these having been planned and scheduled to take place physically. The virtual meetings were organised at all levels beginning at branch level, on to guild level, through to national level where all branches came together.

Public benefit

The trustees of Zimbabwe National Anglican Fellowship UK confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at all relevant times.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Like much of society and the voluntary sector in particular, the Charity's normal ways of conducting its activities were severely curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Charity was able to switch rapidly from in person services to virtual services utilising the digital platforms accounts it held. This was a remarkable achievement as it involved setting up the infrastructure required for the conduct of such meetings, training of the initiators and moderators of the virtual platform meetings and finally the training of the members on how to access the services. This was against a backdrop of the vast majority of our members having a first-time experience at this and, therefore, the situation presented early challenges to adapt to.

The virtual meetings enabled the preaching of the word and scriptural teaching to continue, and this with a greater reach to people who would otherwise have been left feeling isolated and cut-off. The platforms also enabled the charity to offer a high level of virtual bereavement support through vigils and memorial services. Prayer meetings for the sick were also held virtually. Without these virtual meetings the situation for many beneficiaries would have been dire. The support offered helped many to cope with a new and extremely difficult situation of being lonely during either bereavement or sickness.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity grew out of a fellowship that had existed in the preceding years as an unregistered association. As such the Charity inherited the funds from that association. The fellowship's main sources of income are member donations and subscriptions. The accounts show that the Charity has a strong backing from our members. As the donations continued to be received throughout the lockdown whilst the expenses were minimised due to the curtailment of in-person activities, the Charity ended the year in a healthy financial position.

Income

The inaugural annual income for the Charity stood at £40,517.

Expenditure

Total expenditure for the year was £14,130. This is reflective of the lockdown operating environment which limited activities that would have cost money to carry out.

Reserves

The total reserves for the year under review stood at £53,189 excluding reserved funds.

Reserves policy

The trustees have set a reserves policy at 25% of total annual expenditure. This level will enable the Charity to continue functioning in the case of an unforeseen drop in income or increase in expenditure at any time. The reserves will provide a stop gap to allow the trustees to restructure the operations of the Charity to bring the spending in line with the income whilst minimising the disruptions to the work of the fellowship. General reserves are not restricted to or designated for a particular purpose. As of 31 December 2020, the balance of the general reserves stood at £53,189, excluding designated funds. The reserves from the first year of operation were boosted by an amount of £22, 832 inherited from the predecessor organisation. Total annual expenditure from charitable activities, excluding activities associated with reserved funds, was £8,060. This initial build-up of reserves is in anticipation of scaling up operations including the hire of a priest-in-charge on the payroll to improve the pastoral care provision.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020

Going concern

For the year under review the Charity is in a strong financial position and as trustees, we are of the opinion that the financial statements should continue to be prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern for the next 12 months. We have taken into consideration the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the general operations of the charity. The charity has adequate financial resources to enable it to manage short to medium-term operational and financial risks.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Zimbabwe National Anglican Fellowship UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with voting members. It is registered with the Charity Commission under registration number 1187883. Our governing document is an ‘Association’ Model Constitution. Whilst the constitution is the supreme governing document, the fellowship also has a set of Rules and Regulations which aid, but do not override, the constitution in the conduct of the fellowship’s activities. Membership of the CIO is via annual subscription payable through the branches.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The Trustees are recruited from any eligible persons of age 16 years and over. Trustee vacancies arising may be filled by the decision of the members at the annual general meeting of the CIO. For any vacancies not filled at the annual general meeting, the members or the charity trustees may at any time decide to appoint a new charity trustee, whether in place of a charity trustee who has retired or been removed in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, or as an additional charity trustee. A person appointed trustee by the members of the CIO or by the charity trustees outside the annual general meeting shall retire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the date of his or her appointment.

Organisational structure

The Zimbabwe National Anglican Fellowship UK is run on a day-to-day basis by a National Executive Council elected from amongst the membership of the CIO. As a Christian organisation, the pastoral care provision is led by ordained members of the clergy under the direction of the Priest-in-Charge. Members of the clergy in active service within the fellowship meet the Church of England Diocesan standards in terms of possession of the required licenses/permits to officiate and safeguarding. The charity is organised into 12 branches located in different geographical areas in England. Each branch pays annual affiliation fees. In line with the practice of the faith in Zimbabwe, the charity is also organised into active guilds which also pay annual affiliation fees.

For the year under review, twelve branches were affiliated as follows:
