## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
The Council present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared on the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005).
## **Structure, governance & management**
The Organisation is an unincorporated charity registered as a charity on 7 December 1963.
The Mission is governed, at present, by a Council consisting of five Christians drawn from Protestant denominations and Independent Church fellowships and it meets three times a year. Since the commencement of the COVID 19 pandemic, Council has been conducting these meetings using ‘Zoom’ technology, and for the time being intends to continue to do so, in order to overcome the problem of excessive travelling distances for some members. It continues to be the intention of those presently serving to recruit new members to the Council, as and when appropriate, to strengthen its representation.
Potential Council Members are recommended, and are interviewed, often being invited to attend a meeting as a guest. If then prepared to serve, and their appointment agreed by the existing Members, they are invited to serve indefinitely. When looking for new appointees, consideration is given to the 'balance of skills' within the Council. The current Council has members with a range of managerial and church leadership experience, and also includes one with the experience of an OUK associate evangelist. However, further support is sought from new members with accounting/treasury backgrounds. Churchmanship ranges from Baptist to Independent Evangelical and reflects the evangelical stance of the Mission.
The policies that govern the working of the Mission are agreed at Council and minuted at its meetings. However, the day to day management is devolved to the National Field Director, who from this year has been supported by a reorganized office structure involving a newly appointed Administration Officer, and separate Finance Officer. Regular reports are presented, by these officers, to the Council meetings and suggestions and difficulties are discussed. The National Field Director is responsible for communicating the decisions of the Council to all evangelists and to respond to any difficulties they may have. In the main he also works as the interface with other Christian organisations and is responsible for publicity and advertising. The Administration & Finance Officers are responsible for the Headquarters office and general financial and administrative running of the mission. The Council members also provide practical support by taking responsibility for assigned topics such as supporter liaison, finance and publicity. The Mission has increasingly developed a strong network of volunteer Associate Evangelists who work part-time overall under the guidance of the National Field Director, but with the ongoing expansion of the work, an Area Field Officer, based in Manchester oversees a number of volunteer Associate Evangelists in Northern England and North Wales; while a second Area Field Officer has been appointed to oversee volunteer Associate Evangelists in the Midlands and East Anglia areas.
The Council of Outreach UK is grateful to God for His provision over the past year, both in financial terms and in new associate personnel joining the Mission. Our prayer is to see the work further expand so that a greater number of persons may be reached with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the work of our associate evangelists.
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year up to 31 March 2021, as indicated above, the Mission continued the policy not to employ any full-time evangelists, but continued to contract an Area Field Officer on a part-time, self-employed basis to assist the National Field Director in identifying and overseeing Associate Evangelists in the North. Meanwhile this year an additional Area Field Officer was appointed on a similar basis and to oversee Associate Evangelists in the Midlands and East Anglia. Also, during this year the responsibility of Training Officer for the Mission was transferred from the National Field Director to the Area Field Officer, North.

## **OUTREACH UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
Associate Evangelists, often along with the National Field Director or Area Field Officers, have again been working with churches in outreach programmes, often helping in the training of individuals within the local churches who are keen to be involved in personal evangelism. With this in mind, the flexible training resource entitled ‘Casting your Nets’, has continued to be developed. This has become a partnership with the Good News newspaper and Pocket Testament League in providing evangelistic literature for those who have received training through this initiative to use in one-to-one evangelistic witness in their local communities.
Some designated gifts are received direct by Head Office, and are forwarded to the relevant evangelists. Central donations, including legacies, have enabled the Mission to continue its work over the year.
The Associate Evangelists Team was established in 1997 to enable volunteers to work in conjunction with local churches in various areas of the country, each one giving at least twelve hours per month in one-to-one evangelism. They receive literature and training from the National Field Director and/or Area Field Officer and also senior Associate evangelists. There were, nearly sixty associate evangelists working during the year.
During the past year the Mission purchased gospels, Scripture portions, Christian literature, especially Good News Newspapers and DVDs for sale and free distribution to the various contacts made through visitation.
The official magazine of Outreach UK is called “Outreach”, and is produced periodically through each year. It contains feature articles of general interest concerning the Mission as well as reports from the evangelists in the field. Meanwhile, a monthly ‘Prayer Diary’ is also produced for Mission supporters who have expressed a desire to pray daily for the evangelists and general needs of the work. This is initially sent out by email, and copies are made locally by some churches for further distribution. The diary continues to be well received and used for faithful prayer. The Mission also provides a website where articles and
information are recorded for use by interested parties. The website continues to be a fruitful route for reaching new Associate Evangelists.
## **Public Benefit**
Outreach UK is a non-denominational Christian mission committed to working alongside Protestant churches who are seeking to serve their local communities through the practical expression of their faith as well as by making opportunity for those who are interested, from any racial or ethnic group, or any social strata, to find out the beliefs and practices of a Christian church. We do this in a variety of ways that we believe are encompassed in the guidance given by Government and the Charity Commission to enable us to say that the charity's aims and objectives are for the public benefit.
Some of the ways we undertake the Aims and Objectives of the Organisation are here listed – although over this year, because of extreme restrictions imposed through the effect of the Covid 19 pandemic, some of these aims have had to be reduced or even curtailed temporarily
:-
Working with local churches to provide opportunity for any interested person to explore the beliefs and teaching of the Christian faith
Carrying out, as a practical expression of religious beliefs, other activities (such as visitation to those ill, bereaved, lonely/shut in or disabled)
Contributing to the spiritual and moral education of children through work in schools that supports the National Curriculum
Contributing to good mental and physical and spiritual health; fostering composure in the face of ill health; providing comfort to the bereaved;
Visiting in retirement & nursing homes, those unable to attend a place of worship Opening up multi-ethnic and multi-racial workshops to share the basis of the Christian religion with people of other faiths or persuasions who have an interest in what Christianity is about

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **Financial Review**
The Mission relies heavily on donations, covenanted gifts and legacies to enable the work to continue. The Council continues to explore support from other trusts with an interest in the core objectives of the Mission and is supported by unpaid professional expertise in this respect.
**Investment policy**
Any suitable surplus funds that may become available are invested based on advice from an Independent Financial Advisor. The portfolio is reviewed at least six monthly by the trustees in consultation with the IFA.
## **Reserves**
The Mission is reliant on voluntary donations to meet its commitments in the support of its work. As local giving has consistently fallen short of the cost of running the Mission, the charity needs reserves to make good this annual shortfall.
Free reserves (that is those funds not tied up in tangible fixed assets, and designated or restricted funds) have been accumulated in the past primarily from the sale of freehold properties, no longer required for the use of the charity or its employees, and capital growth from the subsequent investments.
## **Risk**
The Council has continued to review all identifiable risks to the Organisation, during the year, to enable a strategy to be put into place to monitor continuously the most apparent and potentially damaging risks. A review of all insurance cover, financial policy, personnel appointments and ongoing management is done via the regular periodic Council meetings. The Council believes that through this strategy it will minimise those risks which are potentially most damaging, and control, as far as possible, any lesser potentially damaging risk elements identified.
## **Statement of responsibilities of the Council**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any 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 operation
The Council are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Council 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## 1.
## **ACCOUNT**
## **ING POLICIES**
## **a) Basis of accounting**
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting for and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Donated goods and services and gifts in kind are not included unless they represent goods or services which would have otherwise been purchased, in which case they are valued and brought in as income and the appropriate expenditure.
## **b) Public benefit entity**
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **c) Income from legacies**
Income from legacies is accounted for on a receivable basis, and is recognised in full in the financial statements in the period in which probate is granted and where the amount receivable can be reliably measured.
## **d) Restricted funds policy**
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
## **e) Designated funds**
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for a particular purpose. A new fund called the ‘Enabling Ministries Fund’ was established by a transfer from General Funds to provide financial support to freelance evangelists who have committed to work with Outreach UK in meeting its charitable objectives. The freelance evangelists have their own independent Trusts and grants are made to these from time to time at the discretion of the Council of Outreach UK. The funds received by transfer from another charity in a previous year have been designated by Council as a "development fund" and will be used to fund short term
placements with the Mission from college students interested in investigating personal evangelism as a possible calling. Council will offer funds on an individual basis to interested parties. The fund may also be used to help support others in investigating 'evangelism' as 'work'.
## **f) Unrestricted funds**
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.
## **g) Endowment fund**
The endowment fund was established in 2000/01 after the transfer of assets from an independent charity. The assets are to be treated as a permanent endowment with the income to be used for general purposes of the charity.
## **h) Allocation of expenses**
Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities.
## **i) Fundraising costs**
Fundraising and publicity costs relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing others to make voluntary contributions to it.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **Accounting policies (continued)**
## **j) Resources expended**
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.
Fundraising & publicity 50% Evangelistic Ministry 50%
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity's activities.
## **k) Depreciation of tangible assets**
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than land, at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. The straight line depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Fixtures & fittings 15%
Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Items are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000.
## **l) Pension scheme**
The charity contributes to a group personal pension scheme and to various personal pensions schemes brought into the Mission by employees from previous employments. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the charity to the fund scheme. The charity has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions.
## **m) Investment income**
Investment income has been included on an accruals basis
## **n) Market value**
Investments have been stated at market value. Investment gains and losses, both realised and unrealised, are disclosed in the statement of financial activities.

## **Purpose of funds**
The Enabling Ministries Fund is a designated fund set aside by the Trustees to assist freelance evangelists associated with the organisation. The Development Project - represents funds transferred to the mission from another charity that has been wound up and closed. The Trustees of Outreach UK
have set this money aside to provide for the partial funding of bible college students who wish to spend time with the mission to find out about and work in an environment of personal evangelism. Several bible colleges have been approached to consider sending students on placement or recommended work experience with Outreach UK – this has yet to happen.
The Matthew Mowson Proctor Fund was established in 2000/01 after the transfer of assets from an independent charity held in that name. The assets are to be treated as a permanent endowment with the income to be used for general purposes of the charity.
The transfers from general to district funds represents the level of subsidy required to support the work in those districts.
