main achievements
of the charity,
identifying the
difference the
charity’s work has
made to the
circumstances of
its beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to society
as a whole.		 Para 1.20 Summary of Main Achievements and Impact (2024)
During this reporting period, EME Ministry has
significantly expanded its reach both locally and
internationally, fulfilling its charitable objects through
targeted community support and evangelism.
1. Local Community Support and Poverty Relief

Homelessness Outreach (East London):
During the winter of 2024, our members actively
engaged with rough sleepers in East London.
Beyond providing essential survival items,
including food, sleeping bags, and hygiene
products, we acted as a vital link to statutory
services by facilitating referrals to homeless
refuge centres and local authority helplines.

Impact:This work provided immediate relief from
the elements and a pathway toward long-term
housing stability for some of the most vulnerable
members of society.

Direct Financial Assistance:The ministry
provided direct financial support to four individual
members facing extreme hardship due to chronic
sickness, severe depression, or bereavement.

Impact:This intervention prevented further
financial crisis for these beneficiaries and
provided a support network during critical periods
of personal trauma.
2. International Missionary Work and Aid
Romania Mission (Autumn 2024):
EME Ministry conducted an international outreach to
Romania, collaborating with local churches to support
disadvantaged communities. We facilitated the delivery
of 300kg of clothing and raised vital funds for homeless
individuals and two Roma (Gypsy) camps.

Impact:This mission provided basic necessities
to marginalised groups in Europe and
strengthened the capacity of local Romanian
churches to serve their communities. Visual
overview of this work can be found on our
YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY4ip0gnTBU

3. Public Evangelism and Spiritual Well-being

4. Education and Training Empowering Others: We delivered specialised evangelism training to the London Pentecostal Youth Group and the congregation of Liberty Connections Church both based in East London.

Daily Spiritual prayer support and life encouragement on Zoom Platform:

Successful provision of a live daily prayer Zoom platform for the purposes of encouraging, supporting and training in the sharing of the Christian Gospel members and associates spiritually. The prayers platform operates 7 days a week from 7am – 8am 365 days of the year.

Wider Benefit to Society: The charity’s work contributes to the public benefit by alleviating the burden on local authorities through homelessness referrals, supporting the circular economy through large-scale clothing donations, and promoting social cohesion and mental well-being through community-based spiritual support and educational training.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Review of the Charity’s Financial
Position
At the commencement of the financial year,
the charity maintained a healthy cash
reserve of£17,482. This strong opening
position provided the Trustees with the
necessary financial security to commit to
the charity's strategic goals for the year,
specifically the funding of the annual
spiritual retreat at High Leigh and the
significant evangelism outreach event at
Ilford Town Hall.
Financial Performance and Expenditure
The charity’s expenditure was focused on
delivering its core mission. Key outlays
included:

Venue Hire & Logistics:Deposits
and full payments for the hiring of
Ilford Town Hall in August 2024.

Ministry Retreat:Full funding of the
annual retreat, providing essential
spiritual development for members.

Operational Costs:Ongoing
ministry expenses and charitable
donations as outlined in the
achievements section.
Financial Management and ReservesAll
cash outlays were managed with strict
prudence. The Treasurer maintained
consistent oversight of the budget to ensure
that the charity lived within its means.
Despite the absence of external grants or
third-party funding during this period, the
charity concluded the year with a positive
closing balance of£10,841.
Statement on SustainabilityThe Trustees
are satisfied that the charity’s year-end
position remains sound. The remaining
reserves are held to ensure the continuity
of our outreach programs and to provide a
"buffer" for future community initiatives. The
successful delivery of large-scale events,
funded entirely through the charity's own
resources, is a testament to the efficient
financial management and the generosity of
our supporters.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s
needs for reserves in line with the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission. It is the
policy of EME Ministry to maintain a level of
uncommitted reserves (free cash) that is
sufficient to meet ongoing operational costs
and to protect the continuity of our core
activities.
Purpose of ReservesThe current
reserves are held for three primary
purposes:
1.
Operational Resilience:To cover
at least 3–6 months of essential
running costs, ensuring the charity
can continue its work during periods
of unforeseen fluctuations in
income.
2.
Project Planning:To provide the
"upfront" capital required for large-
scale events, such as the Ilford
Town Hall outreach and
international missions, where
deposits must be paid in advance of
the event date.
3.
Emergency Assistance:To
maintain a fund for the "Relief of
Poverty," allowing the ministry to
respond quickly to beneficiaries in
urgent financial distress or crisis.
Management of FundsTo improve
financial governance and transparency, the
Board of Trustees has resolved to open a
designated sub-account withBarclays
Bank. This account will be used to ring-
fence funds for specific future projects and
long-term reserves, separating them from
the day-to-day operating budget.
Monitoring and ReviewThe level of
reserves is monitored monthly by the
Treasurer and formally reviewed by the
Board of Trustees on an annual basis to
ensure it remains appropriate for the
charity’s scale of operations.

A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees have assessed the major
risks to which the charity is exposed and
have established systems and procedures
to manage and mitigate those risks. The
principal risks identified during this period
include:
1. Governance and Loss of Key
Personnel

Risk:The departure of key Board
members or founding trustees could
lead to a loss of institutional
knowledge, leadership stability, and
oversight.

Mitigation:The Board is actively
working on a succession plan to
identify and mentor potential new

trustees. We maintain detailed records of all ministry operations and financial procedures to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities should a vacancy arise. 2. Financial Sustainability and Cash FlowRisk: Inadequate funding or poor cash flow management could lead to the cancellation of planned projects (such as large-scale outreach) or an inability to meet our charitable commitments.  Mitigation: The Trustees manage this risk through rigorous forward planning and budget monitoring. By maintaining a clear Reserves Policy and utilizing a designated sub-account for project-specific funds, we ensure that no project is green-lit unless the necessary capital is already secured. 3. Dependence on Voluntary IncomeRisk: As the charity does not currently receive external grants, it is reliant on the generosity of its members and supporters. A sudden downturn in donations could impact our community work.  Mitigation: We are diversifying our fundraising efforts and maintaining a low-overhead operational model. By keeping fixed costs to a minimum, the charity ensures that a high percentage of all income is directed toward frontline beneficiary support. 4. Safeguarding and Compliance (Recommended Addition)Risk: Risks associated with working with vulnerable beneficiaries (homeless individuals) and international missions.  Mitigation: The charity adheres to a strict safeguarding policy. All volunteers participating in outreach and international missions are briefed on our code of conduct and safety protocols. Other
