**Trustee’s Report**
For the 9 months ended 31[st] December 2023
This report shares with you vision and aims of the charity before we start operating. The assets of Medical Missionary News Fund (charity number 229296) were transferred on 1st July 2023 and the charity carried on the operations of the trust fund from that date.
Medical Missionary News (MMN) continues to support those making Jesus Christ known through the provision of healthcare in places where the healthcare system are under-resourced. We have carried on in the same way as the trust fund but just with a different charity structure.
During the year trustees decided to change the financial year to a calendar one so this report just covers the 9 months from 1[st] April to 31[st] December 2023 although we only started operating from 1[st] July so the figures relate to 6 months activity.
## **Objectives & Activities**
Objectives, purposes and aims
The charity was set up in 2022 as a succeeding charity of Medical Missionary News Fund the purpose of continuing to support those involved in medical work in the under-resourced countries of the world and to benefit the public by the relief of poverty and the advancement of religion.
## Vision
Our desire is to support those who are making Jesus Christ known to their local communities and are using the provision of healthcare services as the way of connecting with them.
## Values
The way that we support medical mission have adapted over the years to the changing needs and circumstances of those involved but we remain committed to communicating the love of God through Jesus and the alleviation of suffering. The values that underpin all we seek to do remain the same and are:
- Christ-centred - We strive to make Jesus Christ known to local communities by using healthcare services as the means of connecting with them
- Medical - We want to help those who live in resources poor countries who have little or no access to healthcare
- Professional - We expect high standards of medical, financial and administrative work to ensure the best use of resources
- Impactful - We want what we do to be life-changing to those we minister to
- Sustainable - We seek to ensure that the ministry has a long term future
## What we do
We partner with those in involved in making Jesus Christ known as they bring relief from disease, sickness and suffering in their local community – be it supporting mission hospitals or clinics, providing community health care programmes, caring for the disabled and orphans, developing health education programmes or providing disaster relief.
The ways we do it are through:
_**Encouraging prayer**_ support for the ministries through sharing stories and prayer requests through all our communication channels trusting it will inspire people to pray for the needs and situations that are shared.

**Trustee’s Report**
For the 9 months ended 31[st] December 2023
_**Giving grants**_ to Christian organisations to enable them to engage in medical mission in their local communities.
_**Shipping supplies**_ such as medicines, medical aids, and equipment to mission hospitals and clinics via containers shipments.
_**Supporting training**_ of medical professionals and students to encourage them to use their medical skills and experience as a way of serving God and reaching others with the good news of Jesus.
## Where we work
We work to help those in resource-poor countries where there is no, or very little, healthcare facilities available to the local community. Therefore, our focus is primarily in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe with a little help given to Latin America and we are currently connected with around 50 projects in over 30 countries
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. The review looks at what we have achieved and the outcome of our work in the previous 9 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help so that we remain focused on our stated purpose and ensure that is for the public benefit.
## **Achievements & Performance**
## Charitable activities
Medical Missionary News seek to make Jesus known through supporting Christian mission as they seek to bring relief from disease, sickness and suffering in various parts of the world through the provision of healthcare services, education and training, and prayer.
## _**Encouraging prayer**_
This continues to be our main focus. As we share stories and prayer needs from our partners we want people to pray in response to reading what God is doing in local communities as the love of Jesus is shared both in word and action. We do this through a variety of different channels from the magazine to social media, through the website, newsletter and prayer gatherings.
## _**Giving grants**_
We have continued working with Christian organisations who are seeking to help their communities physically, emotionally and spiritually by providing funding in a variety of different ways.
During the 6 months that we were operational, trustees were able to give grants that amounted to £97,925 to 22 of our partners. Trustees have agreed that they would prefer to grant smaller amounts to help more partners, so all of these grants come into this category and have been used to help our partners provide medical care and humanitarian support to their local communities.
We have continued to share stories where our partners have a particular need and have seen our supporters respond to these needs and give generously to support our partners. We have been able to distribute over £19,000 as a result, with the most significant a trust donation to support the ministry of One2Another as they provide support to those affected by the floods in Pakistan.

**Trustee’s Report**
For the 9 months ended 31[st] December 2023
Our main focus at the end of the year was to raise awareness of the needs and challenges that Berakhah Medical Centre faces in providing maternal care services to their local community in the suburbs of Kampala in Uganda. This is part of the Special Children’s Trust that supports children and families living with disability in Uganda. Through various campaigns and fundraising efforts we have raised over £23,000 towards developing the maternal care services at Berakhah and will forward the funds in the new year.
## _**Shipping supplies**_
During the year we have shipped 3 containers to Zambia and Angola which follows the trend of the last couple of years as more goods are available locally and those organising the collection of goods here grow older.
## _**Supporting training**_
Medical electives is the area where we have seen the most growth now that medical schools are now fully supporting overseas electives again. During the year we were able to give bursaries to 8 students who have been to medical mission projects in various part of the world.
It has been exciting to follow the journeys of the young UK doctors, nurses, midwives and physios who are on the Global Track programme we help Christian Medical Fellowship to run, as they consider combining their medical skills with their faith and see what God can do through them. During the year this involved coleading a team of them as we visited Nepal to experience healthcare in a very different context.
## **Financial Review**
The net assets of the preceding charity were transferred into the charity on 1[st] July. The operations carried on in the same way just under a new organisational structure. Therefore, the finances only reflect the last 6 months of 2023.
The net result for the period is a small increase in reserves of £5,180 to a total of £608,139 although this due to an increase in restricted reserves following the successful campaign for increased maternal care facilities in Uganda. The General reserves fell a little by £15,446 to £574,250 as grants awarded exceeded income but a large legacy received just before the transfer enabled this to take place. The costs in running the charity were in line with expectations.
We 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).
Principal funding sources
No funding sources yet but when the transfer is made it will be primarily from donations (from individuals and churches) and legacies.
## Going concern
We have reviewed the circumstances of the charity and consider that it is a going concern, and that there will be sufficient resources available to fund the activities for the foreseeable future.

For the 9 months ended 31[st] December 2023
## Investment policy and objectives
Our investment policy is geared towards a balanced growth with minimum to medium risk with the aim of achieving a reasonable income. Investments will not knowingly made in companies which manufacture or deal in armaments, alcoholic beverages, gambling, pornography or tobacco.
## Investment performance
The charity currently has no investments.
## Reserves policy
Trustees will review the level of reserves brought over from the preceding charity and plan to keep the reserves at £500,000 which equates to more than 2 years' management and administration expenses. Large legacies are used to increase these reserves to a level that will provide a future income stream
## **Future Plans**
Our desire to support medical mission remains the same as we want to continue to see God at work through His people as they care for the health needs of the communities.
- We will continue to develop our communication platforms to encourage prayerful support for our partners and develop partnerships that will enable us to increase our network.
- We will continue to give grants to support Christian organisations in their ministry as finances permit.
- We are looking to develop our support of medical professionals and students to consider mission as a way of combining their medical skills and faith.
## **Structure, Governance & Management**
## Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution and is constituted a charity incorporated organisation.
## Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The board of trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees are selected because of their Christian beliefs and the expertise and competencies that they are able to offer. No specific training is required apart from the general trustee induction programme that the Charity Commission recommend.
## Organisational structure
The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The trustees maintain a constant review of their activities and functions and feel that the present structure is sufficient to meet Medical Missionary News' needs. The day to day management of the charity rested with the director, Grev Parmenter, on transfer of employment from the Trust Fund.
## Wider network
The charity is not part of any wider network.

## Related parties
Transactions with related parties are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
## Volunteers
The trustees are grateful to the staff and volunteers who transfer over from the preceding charity so that they carry out the many aspects of the work, including checking and allocating donated medical items, packing, spectacle grading, driving and running the stamp bureau.
## Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. In addition, other operational and business risks have been examined and systems established to mitigate any significant risk.
## Public benefit
Our main activities and who we try to help are described above under "Achievement and Performance". All our charitable activities focus on achieving our objectives and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

**Trustee’s Report**
For the 9 months ended 31[st] December 2023
## **Statement of Trustee Responsibilities**
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).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 Examiners Report to the Trustees For the period ended 31[st] December 2023**
Report to the trustees of Medical Missionary News on the accounts for the period ended 31[st] December 2023 set out on pages 11 to 22.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below:

**Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the period ended 31[st] December 2023**
.
## Independent examiner's statement
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a fellow member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
