## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 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**
Pioneer Mission is a registered charity. It was originally registered as a Charity on 8 October 2020.
- As detailed in its governing documentation the charity has the following charitable objects:
- To advance the Christian Faith for the benefit of the public in the United Kingdom and in such other parts of the World as the trustees may from time to time think fit, in particular but not exclusively through:
- Raising awareness of the Christian faith and the need for new churches through meetings, conferences, print and online publications;
- Providing training, resources, coaching and ongoing support for those involved in planting new churches;
- Supporting the establishment of new Christian church plants.
## **Significant activities**
Over this period the charity has continued to develop and maintain a framework of activity to **see 20 churches established in each of the 50 European nations by 2050.**
The main focus has continued to be multiplication, strategically looking at how we can multiply our team and resources to help inspire and train others to fan into flame their leadership gifts and heart to plant churches in Europe.
Much of our activity has been carried out in partnership with other UK and Overseas charities, key partnerships include: Relational Mission, Revelation Church (London), and Newfrontiers, to name just a few.
The period up to 31 March 2025 has seen some significant steps taken, with Maurice and Rachel Nightingale continuing to spearhead our work into Europe, enabling much of this activity to take place.
Examples of what has been achieved with reference to our charitable objectives are as follows:
## **Awareness Raising**
- Partnered with Relational Mission to host the 'Globally Fruitful' Conference in Malaga, Spain, bringing visibility to the mission across Europe and beyond.
- Held our annual Pioneer Europe Conference, a church planting gathering for those exploring a call to pioneer.
- o Partnered with the European Leadership Forum (ELF) and Relational Mission to deliver Church Planting and Leadership networks and workshops at the 2024 forum, strengthening connections across Europe and opening doors into new nations.
- Took part in More Together Family Camps in the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK, raising the profile of the charity's mission.
- Launched a new initiative to engage entrepreneurs and business leaders in supporting the mission.
- Established a new 'On Mission in Europe' publication to share stories and updates to those interested in the mission
**All in all (considering the activities detailed below also) awareness of our mission to Europe has been directly raised to 1,500+ individuals, across 25+ Nations in Europe.**

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Training, Resourcing and Coaching**
- Continued the 'Called to Go' training programme (online and in-person) to engage those at the start of their pioneering journey, supporting over 25 pioneers this year, with 7 already ministering or relocating to mainland Europe, and another couple preparing to move in the coming year.
- Established Discipleship groups to mentor key church leaders and Ephesians 4 ministries across Europe to multiply our work, supported by regular zoom prayer, equipping sessions and annual retreats.
- Delivered extensive one-to-one and small-group coaching, **discipling and inspiring over 130 existing and emerging leaders across Europe.**
## **Supporting Church Plants**
- Invested dedicated time on the ground in Croatia, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France to strengthen local churches and key leaders.
- Partnered with leaders to strategise for community growth, new church plants, and the establishment of connection hubs across nations.
- Continued to develop local-language, translocal teams in the Netherlands and Germany, with the goal of becoming self-financing and fully operational.
- Supported existing church plants and developing situations through team days, preaching, and coaching, directly assisting 19 eldership and planting teams across the UK and Europe in their team development.
- **Overall, including the above 30+ churches/plants have been directly invested in over the year.**
## **Public benefit**
In planning and undertaking activity above the Trustees have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Grantmaking**
Pioneer Mission works with churches and charities worldwide and where these contacts are able to fulfil the objectives of the charity more ably, or maintain closer working links with activities or projects, grants are sometimes provided. These are made in line with the charity's grant framework and financial policy.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Pioneer Mission is financially dependent upon the donations made by supporting churches, individuals, grants from charitable trusts and income generated via events.
Pioneer Mission Trustees and team would like to thank all the churches, individuals and organisations that have supported the charity throughout the year.
During the year Pioneer Mission had income of £207,874, £56,920 of which was for restricted purposes.
Expended resources for the period were £246,352 in total of which £104,615 were restricted.
At the end of March 2025 Pioneer Mission had a deficit of £38,340 in total, with £47,695 deficit within restricted funds and a surplus of £9,355 in general funds.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
Pioneer Mission has no formal investment policy as it currently does not intend to make any investments, aside from placing surplus funds in deposit accounts to gain interest. This approach is reviewed yearly.
## **Reserves policy**
On an ongoing basis the Trustees consider the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the Charity's needs and circumstances. This is based on the charity's size and level of commitments held. The Trustees endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. In doing this the Trustees aim to make sure that the current budget forecast and reserves levels allow the charity to continue in operation for a rolling 12 month period. This is reviewed at a minimum at two points within the financial year.

**PIONEER MISSION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution, and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
## **Management structure**
Five trustees have run Pioneer Mission over this reporting period, each with differing backgrounds and expertise that can contribute to the delivery of the charity's objectives.
The policy and key operating decisions (i.e. budget setting, risk management) of the charity rest with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Day to day operation has been delegated to the Operations Team.
Over the last year, Pioneer Mission has not directly employed staff, but has delivered its activities through retained consultants and volunteers.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Trustees have and continue to review the major strategic, business and operational risks, which a small charity with no employees is likely to be exposed to. A framework has been established and procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
All major insurable risks have been covered by the charity's insurance coverage. Contracts and associated risks are reviewed before being finalised to ensure they do not significantly impact (negatively) upon the charity's ability to fulfil its objectives.
The Charity has all required policies in place (as per Charity Commission guidelines) and no significant material issues arose during the year in relation to these policies.
## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
- state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PIONEER MISSION**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Pioneer Mission**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Pioneer Mission (the Charitable Incorporated Organisation) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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 Charitable Incorporated Organisation’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**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£).
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
- the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d);
- the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
- the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
- the requirement of paragraph 33.7;
- the requirement of paragraph 24(b) of IFRS 6.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from support for pioneering situations, reimbursement of expenditure incurred and amounts received toward future pioneering costs.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Details of individual grants and payments made are not included in the financial statements in accordance with Charity SORP 16.21. The trustees confirm that appropriate due diligence is carried out on all payments to third parties and that a full list of recipients can be obtained upon request.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
