EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT OF WALES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. 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

These are as follows:

Significant activities

The Movement serves churches. We continue to serve the church by:

In this context, volunteers contribute significantly to almost all areas of the Movement's work. This provides a strong basis of skills, and enables our ministries to be more affordable. Our camps and our bookshops in Bangor, Bala, Neath and Wrexham are totally staffed by volunteers.

Public benefit of the services provided by the Movement

The organisation's trustees can confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission, as demonstrated by the above objectives and activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021/'22 has seen a return to "normal" activities. We are grateful to God that we have been able to do this, and have discerned a hunger among Christians for face-to-face fellowship.

1 Serving the Church through organising conferences and events that teach the Bible and promote Christian unity by bringing together people from different churches

The summer residential conferences in English and Welsh took place with roughly 1,000 attending the English conference in person, and 300 attending the Welsh conference. In addition to this, many more watched online. The South Wales Ladies Conference was attended by around 100 ladies.

2 Serving the Church through Supporting, Training and Developing Church Leaders

The training and support of church leaders is of major significance for the health of the church in Wales. 19 men are currently on our Theological Training Course (TTC), designed for men called into Christian ministry - a slight increase over the previous year. The course continues its hybrid delivery with some students and lecturers joining from off-site locations. Our Pastors' Wives Annual Conference restarted in Bala with around 25 women attending. Our Welsh and English Residential Ministers' Conferences resumed with roughly 70 and 20 men attending, respectively.

3 Serving the Church through running camps and other ministries for young people

Over the course of the year we ran 14 residential camps, attended by over 500 young people. It was particularly heartening to see the hunger in the young people for the camps after COVID.

4 Serving the Church through resourcing and training churches and Christians with Bible based, Gospel centred

resources

Our English and Welsh language magazines, The Evangelical Magazine and Y Cylchgrawn Efengylaidd continued to be produced and appreciated, as did English and Welsh language books published under the Bryntirion Press and Gwasg Bryntirion imprints respectively, and our bi-lingual website. Our bookshops continue, but sales are still below prepandemic levels.

5 Serving the Church through supporting churches in Mission and Evangelism

We produced and distributed 50,000 of our evangelistic magazines, a reduction on the previous year, for use by churches, and at national events such as the National Eisteddfod, the Royal Welsh Show and the Hay Festival.

6 Serving the Church through encouraging prayer for Wales

We continue to encourage prayer by means of monthly prayer letters and bulletins. In addition, we have continued to produce daily devotions, but with a reduced frequency, and have started sharing information about local church needs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The attached financial statements set out the income and expenditure of the charity for the year to 30 September 2022 and the postilion at the year end.

The Movement reported a surplus for the year of £47,505, compared to £69,022 in the previous year.

Principal funding sources

While income from ministries has recovered, it has not yet reached pre-pandemic levels. We continue to be grateful for the generous giving of our supporters, and recognise that all these resources ultimately are provided by our God.

Investment policy and objectives

There are no restrictions on the Movement's power to invest. The trustees have invested cash not immediately required in Money Market accounts as this has been found to give the best return and to ensure access to the funds is available when necessary. Stock market investments are not considered to be in accordance with the ethical standpoint of the Movement.

Reserves policy

The total funds of £1,931,382 include £75,344 which are held for restricted purposes as shown in the notes to the accounts. A further £1,377,193 has been designated for specific purposes, set out in the same note. These designated funds comprise of fixed assets, stock and cash. The remaining £478,845 are the free reserves.

The charity's policy is to have sufficient free reserves to cover working capital requirements, day to day running costs and planned deficits without the need for bank borrowing. The trustees review the policy annually in the light of changing circumstances.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Risk management

The principal risks facing the Movement are financial risk and the risks associated with the safeguarding of children and the vulnerable.

In summer 2022, our volume of activity was significantly increased post-pandemic. We are grateful for good numbers of suitable volunteers. While the overall activity level, and the Movement's dependence on gifts continues, the trustees are of the opinion that the Movement will be able to continue into the future.

We remain committed to continue the development of our information systems, as well as to the strengthening of good working practices by means of our Employee Handbook and staff training.

Safeguarding risks principally arise from the work we undertake with children and the vulnerable. These risks are managed by a deeply engrained system of assessment, approval, monitoring and reporting for our staff, volunteers and activities. We have performed a thorough periodic review of our safeguarding policy and procedures with the input and advice of Christian Safeguarding Services and have updated our safeguarding training.

We believe that alongside our practical diligence in all these areas, prayerfulness is vital.

FUTURE PLANS

During the year, our Management Board was reorganised to focus on the following areas which are considered to be our priorities in the coming years:

  1. Supporting Leaders 2. Evangelism 3. Supporting Christians and Churches

  2. Children and Youth Work

Specific actions are being developed in each of these areas, which at present include:

  1. In the short-term:

  2. a Considering the best way to provide pastoral support for ministers and advise to Churches

  3. .

  4. b Appointing a Youth Resources Development Worker to develop materials for young people and to provide . support and networking for Church youth leaders.

  5. In the longer-term:

  6. a Developing a Youth Leaders network;

  7. .

  8. b Assessing the needs of elders and deacons and how they can best be supported;

  9. .

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE TRUSTEES OF EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT OF WALES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Evangelical Movement of Wales (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 September 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE TRUSTEES OF EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT OF WALES

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inaccurate journals. We addressed these risks by carrying out specifically targeted procedures, which included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Evangelical Movement of Wales is a registered charity, registered in England and Wales. The governing document is its constitution and it is an unincorporated association. The principal address is Waterton Cross Business Park, South Road, Bridgend, Wales, CF31 3UL. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities is disclosed within the Report of the Trustees.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

There have been no material departures from Financial Reporting Standard 102.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

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.

This includes capital grants.

Donations and legacies income includes donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature and are recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies it must be used in future accounting periods or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.

Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. This income is recognised as the related services are provided and there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income is deferred when the amounts received are in advance of the performance of the service or event to which they relate.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

It is not the policy of the charity to show income net of expenditure unless the sums involved are immaterial.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are those costs that, whilst necessary to deliver an activity, do not themselves produce or constitute the output of the charitable activity. This includes governance costs which are those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Irrecoverable VAT is allocated on the same basis.

Grants payable

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. The grants are recognised where the trustees have agreed to pay the grant and the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant, provided they comply with the terms of the agreement. Grants offered subject to terms and conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the statement of financial activities incorporating the income and expenditure account.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Only assets which cost £500 or more are capitalised by the charity.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment 20% straight line Freehold property 2% straight line

The freehold property is depreciated over is expected useful life of 50 years, unless the trustees consider the residual value is not less than the cost.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value calculated on an alternative stock valuation method based on the current sales price less the products gross profit mark up which is dependant on the nature of the stock item.

Operating leasing agreements

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred over the term of the lease.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors

Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Creditors

Creditors 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Funds structure

Unrestricted funds represent resources available to be applied by the trustees for the general purposes of the charity.

Designated funds are amounts set aside from the general unrestricted funds to be used for particular purposes. They remain part of unrestricted funds.

Restricted funds are resources to which the donor has stipulated may only be applied for particular purposes within the charity's objects.

Termination payments

The charity recognises termination payments as an expense and a liability only when the entity is demonstrably committed either to terminate the employment of an employee or a group of employees before the normal retirement date or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy.

Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
