(ii) To relieve need and hardship among persons resident in the United Kingdom, Israel and elsewhere. ## Public Benefit In the setting of the Charity's objectives and planning its activities, the Trustees have sought to uphold the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The Trust primarily seeks to further the claims of the Christian Gospel and to relieve hardship, distress and need, with a special focus on Israel. Personal links with those in Israel have been established over the years by regular visits, so those that the Charity seeks to benefit are well known to us. We are therefore able to communicate accurate and reliable information to our prayer partners. The Trustees are satisfied that the Trust meets the public benefit requirement by the support of a wide range of charitable activities that are aligned with the objectives and uses this in the forward planning of the charity. ## Strategies for achieving objectives Keeping our partners regularly updated on the needs for prayer as well as wider needs is fulfilled by the production and mailing out of a monthly Prayer Bulletin to around 6,000 subscribers. For up-to-date information the partners are encouraged to go to the website, which is updated frequently with the latest news. During the year we added a WhatsApp prayer group to help make urgent prayer requests known in a very timely way. Each year we receive encouraging feedback from numbers of prayer partners. The news, and the way it is disseminated within the Bulletin is well received and used by all our prayer groups. Additional information is regularly distributed electronically to those requesting it. We regularly encourage our partners to move to this method of communication to reduce distribution costs. The Trusts employees now all work from home. Face-to-face meetings in local churches have restarted following a pause due to the pandemic and monthly Zoom 'Gatherings' with speakers joining from Israel has continued. This way of encouraging and informing our prayer partners is well received. Our teaching resources are available on our on-line portal. We aim to provide teaching and further background information on our activities, and help for those wishing to go deeper into the Christian faith. ## Long Term and Short Term aims As international travel resumed, a trustee undertook two visits to Israel to see for himself how the pandemic had affected those we regularly support. He was able to renew long-standing relationships with a good number of individuals and ministries, as well as meeting new ones. The ability to monitor how grants are being used and access future needs, is an important part of these visits. Tours of Israel to introduce primarily local UK church leaders to their counterparts in Israel, and witness the work they are involved in, remain in our long term plans. ## - 1 - ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ## TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued) ## PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 ## Objectives and activities (continued) Most of our partners have accepted the use of remote technology and the benefits of reduced need to travel and cost. The benefit of having visiting speakers from Israel participating through the year is well received, with much positive feedback. Remote technologies like Zoom will continue to play an important part in what we do going forward. As we have prayer partners across the UK, Zoom is a good fit to help PFI reduce costs, whilst enhancing communication. ## Social investment policy The monthly Prayer Bulletin distribution and regular on-line Zoom 'Gatherings' have enabled the Charity to keep its partners informed of the challenges facing congregations in Israel and elsewhere, making them aware of the specific needs for prayer. Partners have been able to personally question those joining from Israel, a regular experience they would not have had pre-pandemic. ## Volunteer policy The Charity has not used volunteers to assist with day-to-day work, therefore a volunteer policy is not needed, but this will be kept under review. ## Financial grants The aims of the Charity remain focused on education and awareness regarding the Christian faith, and does include making grants to individuals and institutions mainly based in Israel, as well as in the UK and elsewhere. Grants are made either at the request of the donor or at the discretion of the Trustees and Director, under a 'where most needed' policy. The grants to individuals are to those involved in full time or part-time Christian service with known needs, and have inadequate funding from other sources. The grants to institutions are to known and regularly visited groups and organisations that promote the Christian message, and in a number of cases support the aging, the relief of poverty and drug/alcohol rehabilitation. All are visited as regularly as possible by the trustees. The largest percentage of grants continue to be made from restricted funds. The Trustees meet three times a year for formal Trustee meetings. The review of grants to be made is undertaken at quarterly distribution meetings. Individual and institutional grants are made to those known to advance the Christian message. ## Achievements and performance ## Review of activities The activity commenced on 1 January 2023 but this is a continuation of the charity Prayer for Israel (charity number 326132) which was registered as a charity in 1982. ## Activities Our regular main teaching events continued on Zoom in the form of monthly on-line 'Gatherings' for our partners, lasting up to two hours. This way of working enables a more regular programme than would normally be practical with conventional meetings. Face-to-face contact with partners is gradually returning as more meetings have been added to the calendar. Using Zoom means we have benefitted from the live presence of guest speakers from various ministries in Israel. This has enabled our prayer partners to keep up to date with current events and developments for informed and ongoing prayer. Partners are also able to meet each other in the break-out groups, and has proved popular in maintaining individual contact. No tours of Israel were organised for small groups or Church leaders. - 2 - ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ## TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued) ## PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 ## Achievements and performance (continued) A detailed report on the day-to-day activities of the Trust is provided to the Trustees at least three times a year. It is reviewed by the Trustees at their formal meetings, to ensure the aims and objectives of the Charity are being fully met. In addition, Trustees regularly meet on Zoom for prayer. They are also active participants in the regular work of the Trust and are therefore fully aware of all prayer partner communications and activities. Total incoming resources for the period from 1 January 2023 were £143,119 and there was a donation from the former charity of £765,775. This income was used to fund charitable activities and other costs totalling £151,813. ## Investment policy and performance The finance officer, together with the Trustees, continues to review whether the best returns for the funds held by the Charity are being achieved. However, as most of the Charity's income is distributed on a regular basis, there is no need for large investments. There are funds of £432,458 which are being treated as designated funds for the purpose of potentially purchasing another property or office in the future, should it be necessary. This originated from the sale of a premises previously owned by Prayer for Israel (charity number 326132). Professional investment advice has been sought and the safest investment pathway for these funds is being established. ## Financial review ## Reserves policy The total reserves at 31 March 2023 were £757,081, which are made up of unrestricted funds of the charity of £735,842 and restricted funds of the charity of £21,239. The unrestricted funds are made up of general funds £248,673 and designated funds of £487,169, as detailed in the statutory accounts. The finances of the Charity are in a satisfactory state, and have enabled the Trustees to advance the Charity's aims and objectives. Management accounts are provided to the Trustees quarterly. They are therefore regularly updated of the Charity's ongoing financial state, and can plan accordingly. The Charity has adopted a policy on restricted funds, whereby they are distributed fully each quarter. Surpluses are not reinvested as they are small and distributed regularly, so do not build up. Unrestricted funds, those funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets by the Charity are used to fund day-today running costs, with the exception of a reserve of three months running costs, which is held in a savings account. Therefore, the Trustees take the view that they are able to continue the core activities of the Charity in the event of funding reducing. Total reserves at the Balance Sheet date are detailed in Note 16 to the Financial Statements. ## Result for year The results for the period ended 31 March 2023 shows that a surplus has been made amounting to £757,081 due to the donation of funds from Prayer For Israel Trust, totalling £765,775. Without the donations there would have been a deficit of £8,694. - 3 - PRAYER FOR ISRAEL TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued) ## PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 ## Financial review (continued) ## Principal funding The main sources of income during the period were from donations and legacies. However, the income generated remained stable and enable the aims and objectives of the Trust to be met. Legacies are an important part of our funding, a grateful addition to regular donations. ## Material investments policy The Charity seeks out the best rate of interest for its funds without recourse to investments which could raise ethical issues for the Trust or unnecessary risk. There are no principal financial risks to the Charity apart from day-to-day running costs, as we do not invest in financial markets. Policies are in place to ensure there is duel accountability on all banking transactions and finance activities. Other expenditure has to be approved by the Trustees, via email, and then confirmed at the next Trustees meeting. It is recognised that the Charity's financial performance is dependent on the charitable giving of its partners and supporters. Therefore, it varies from month to month. Structure, governance and management ## Governing document The governing instrument is a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees, made on 17 September 2021, under which the Charitable Incorporated Organisation was set up. The CIO was incorporated on 13 December 2021. The funds were transferred from the charity Prayer For Israel (charity number 326132) effective from 1 January 2023. ## Change in organisation The Trustees changed to a CIO to safeguard the future of the work as without the CIO status recruitment of Trustees was becoming more challenging. Prior to this the activity of the charity was in Prayer for Israel (charity number 326132) which was registered using a Declaration of Trust made on 21 May 1982. ## Method of appointment or election of Trustees The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees, who are elected under the terms of the Constitution. New Trustees are appointed by the Trustees. They must be fully committed to and conversant with the aims and objectives of the Charity. There is no policy of re-appointing Trustees under the terms of the Constitution, but should they fail to support the Charity in a professional manner, or act improperly according to the Charity's standards, they would be removed from office by a vote of the Trustees. ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued) - 4 - PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 ## Structure, governance and management (continued) ## Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees All Trustees have been in senior positions of responsibility during their working lives, and the Charity seeks to appoint Trustees that have broad business experience that will benefit the Trust, and so support its efficient running. All Trustees receive regular information on what is required of them through the Charity Commission website, regularly reading their reports, updates and advice. Independent advisors are retained to ensure the Trustees are kept abreast of changing statutory requirements and best employment practice. New Trustees are required to read the published Charity Commission guidance on Trusteeship and must fully endorse the aims of the Charity as stated in the Trust Deed. Refresher training sessions are planned on the roles and responsibilities of Trustees, as they pertain to the Charity. ## Organisational structure and decision making Day-to-day running of the Charity is undertaken by a small team led by the director Mr P Smith and finance officer Mrs H Lambert. The Trustees exercise a regular degree of supervision to ensure the objectives of the Trust are being fulfilled. This is normally undertaken by a fortnightly Zoom session. They also conduct quarterly Zoom sessions to review and approve the quarterly funds distribution. There are three face-to-face Trustee meetings a year, with the Mr P Smith tabling his report for the period for review and discussion. Decisions made at these meetings are fully minuted. Extra-ordinary meetings are convened and minuted as required. No remuneration is received by any of the Trustees for carrying out their roles, however, any expenses are reimbursed. Full and part-time staff make up the small team. Appropriate use is made of consultants as necessary. ## Staff team Mr P Smith leads a small team of remote working staff, with weekly meetings on Zoom and face-to-face team meetings approximately once a quarter. This way of working is popular with the staff and has enabled staff retention despite location moves by some. The flexibility this brings has not had an impact on performance and donations. The Trustees are grateful to Mr P Smith for his leadership and the staff for their commitment. Employees remuneration is based on the rate applicable for equivalent work in the Charity sector, and the meeting of prevailing minimum wage requirements. ## Risk management The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, which relate primarily to operations and finance. They are satisfied that policies, procedures and systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The Charity maintains a Health and Safety policy and adheres to current Health and Safety regulations. Where deemed necessary independent business advisors are consulted to ensure the level of risk is appropriate and can be adequately mitigated when necessary. - 5 - ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued) PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 Reference and administrative details Registered charity name Prayer For Israel Charity registration number 1197064 Principal office PO Box 190 Telford Shropshire TF2 2DB The trustees A Rice (Appointed 13 December 2021) J Clark (Appointed 13 December 2021) N P D Thompson (Appointed 13 December 2021) S A Dempster (Appointed 13 December 2021) D Evans (Appointed 13 December 2021) Independent examiner A N Poyton FCCA 5 The Chambers Vineyard Abingdon-on-Thames Funds held as custodian trustee The Charity collects and forwards donated finances to other organisations and charities in this country, in Israel and elsewhere.

Plans for future periods We plan to maintain the successful Zoom 'Gatherings' and build on them to expand the number of guest speakers, and partners able to attend.

Accounting policies Basis of preparation - The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Going concern There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty - The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements, are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Income tax - Prayer for Israel is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from tax due on surpluses from activity, investment income and capital gains where they are applied for charitable purposes. Fund accounting - Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. - Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. - Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. - 11 - ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) ## PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 3. Accounting policies (continued) ## Incoming resources - All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: -  income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. -  legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. -  income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. -  sale of resources and income from conferences and tours are recognised as earned when the goods or services are provided. Income received in respect of future tours are deferred until the criteria for income recognition is met. -  interest on deposit funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. ## Resources expended - Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: -  expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. -  expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. -  other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. - All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. ## Tangible assets - Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. ## Depreciation - Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Equipment - 25% reducing balance ## PRAYER FOR ISRAEL - 12 - NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) PERIOD FROM 13 DECEMBER 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2023 ## 3. Accounting policies (continued) Impairment of fixed assets - A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. Debtors Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand - Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provisions - Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. Financial instruments - The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Defined contribution plans - Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. ## 4.
