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.

3. Public Evangelism and Spiritual Well-being
-
Flagship Events: In August 2024, we hosted a major outreach event at Ilford Town Hall attended by over 300 people. We also participated in the ‘March for Jesus’ and the ‘Shine Your Light’ public carol singing (NDOPW) initiative at Romford Market in December 2024.
-
Impact: These events provided spiritual encouragement and "upliftment" to hundreds of attendees. By combining the Gospel message with practical signposting to services like local food banks and discounted community grocery schemes, we addressed both the spiritual and physical needs of the public.
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.
- Impact: This work has equipped a new cohort of volunteers with the skills and confidence to share messages of hope and redemption, ensuring the sustainability of the charity’s mission within the wider community.
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 Flow Risk: 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 Income Risk: 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
