REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. 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 structure in 2022 remained unchanged with 12 branches and 5 guilds. 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. Some branches returned to in person services whilst some held hybrid in person and virtual services. National Conferences for the Fellowship and all the Guilds were held in person. The numbers of attendees were generally down on previous years’ in person conferences as some people were still hesitant of COVID19 exposure. As part of our outreach, the ZINAFE Zimbabwe Day festivities were hosted by the North Branch at Stephen’s Church, Bradford. The attendance included a number of local parishioners who participated in serving teas, coffees and cakes.

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

The Charity returned to in person services following post the COVID-19 pandemic guidance from the Church of England. Whilst some of the Charity’s members were keen to get back together with fellow congregants after one and half year’s isolation, some remained hesitant. It was an achievement that all the branches were able to attract members back into the church buildings. New skilled members arriving under COS schemes added to the growth of the Fellowship as they joined our branches across the country. The Charity also received new clergy who joined their families in the UK. Internally, the Charity had three deacons priested during the year under review.

The ZINAFE National Choir was invited to sing at the 2022 Lamberth Conference and their performance was well received and appreciated. We had two of our clergy participating in the Conference Plenaries and music. The ZINAFE National Choir was also invited to sing at the Black History Month commemoration service at Chichester Cathedral.

As part of our ongoing practice pre-COVID 19, the clergy were able to meet for their annual retreat. During the year, some of our clergy began working with the National Racial Justice, Church of England Mentor Directory Ministry and Minority Ethnic Vocations Ministry.

The AYZ were able to hold a fundraising dinner open to all members and guests.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The fellowship's main sources of income were member donations and subscriptions, in addition to funds carried over from the previous year. Fundraising activities contributed to the Reserved Funds for the Fellowship. The accounts show that the Charity’s financial position declined by just over 7%. This is within a reasonable margin of variation and the Charity’s financial position remains healthy.

Income

The annual income for the Charity stood at £ 36,876.

Expenditure

Total expenditure for the year was £ 42,169.

Reserves

The total reserves for the year under review stood at £ 55,880 excluding reserved funds.

Reserves policy

The trustees have maintained a reserves policy set 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 2022, the balance of the general reserves stood at £55,880, excluding designated funds. The reserves from the second year of operation declined by an amount of £10,234. Total annual expenditure from charitable activities, excluding activities associated with reserved funds, was £41,169.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022

Going concern

For the year under review the Charity remains 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 improvement in our financial position despite the shift from physical to digital services for the larger part of the year under review. 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:
