REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31st March 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal objective of the charity is the promotion of Christian teaching throughout the world.
Significant activities
In seeking to fulfil its principal charitable objective the trustees have focussed on the provision of books and pre-recorded material by the Reverend David Pawson M.A., BSc. In more recent years the trustees have recognised the opportunities provided by new technology, and investment has been made to create digital copies of many of David's works to make them available for download from the internet.
Public benefit
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Trust has continued its trajectory to provide teaching at the highest possible quality, to the highest number of people at the lowest possible cost. Free of charge wherever possible.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
At the balance sheet date the charity had accumulated funds of £1,160,736 (2022: £901,620). Of these amounts £35,085 (2022: £35,085) related to restricted funds.
The funds of the charity are primarily held in the form of bank balances. During the year donations and endowments to the charity decreased by £195,056 and total expenditure has decreased by £18,088.
Reserves policy
Total reserves at the Balance sheet date amounted to £1,160,736 of which £35,085 was Restricted Funds. The Trustees have considered that there should be sufficient unrestricted funds to cover at least 6 months of operations should the need arise, that is approximately £100,000.
Current reserves are considerably in excess of this figure as a result of some substantial donations received in the past. The trustees are giving consideration as to these funds can be best applied in order that the actual reserves held will be nearer to the stated reserves policy.
FUTURE PLANS
The current priority for the Trust is to do with future proofing. This involves looking at upgrading our digital platform and our media into formats that will survive into the future. This includes video, eBooks and audiobooks.
The work of translating, digitising and sub titling continues at good pace as well as the growing move towards eBooks. We are currently looking into the development of audiobooks.
The Trustees remain very thankful for all its staff, volunteers and supporters.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAVID PAWSON MINISTRY CIO
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of David Pawson Ministry CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of David Pawson Ministry CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 31st March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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.
