Structure, governance and management

Organisational structure

Trans World Radio Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 27 November, 1963.

TWR-UK is governed by a Council of Management and all properties are vested in that body. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day to day management of the organisation, assisted by a team of ministry co-ordinators.

One third of the members of the Council (or the number nearest one third) retire from office at the Annual General Meeting. Retiring members of Council are eligible for re-election and the Council itself has power, with subsequent ratification by the members in General Meeting, to make an appointment of a Council Member as long as the number of Council members does not exceed twenty. The minimum number is five.

Trustees are recruited through recommendation by existing Trustees or other persons with a close connection to the charity. After attending a Board meeting by invitation they are appointed by the existing Trustee board. Potential Trustees are identified after consideration of:

Related Parties

Objectives and activities

Objectives

The Memorandum and Articles of Association of Trans World Radio Limited (hereafter TWR-UK) state that the object for which the charity was formed is:

'To communicate through radio broadcasting, television, audio-visual materials, literature, leadership training and other means the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ'.

The TWR-UK mission statement is:

'TWR-UK works in fellowship with the Church and its worldwide partners to disciple all peoples according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ by proclaiming the Gospel to as many people as possible, instructing believers in biblical doctrine and daily Christ-like living, and modelling our message through all our ministry relationships'.

Activities

2021 has been a challenging year dominated by the coronavirus pandemic and its impact. However, TWR-UK has continued its activities, without interruption, throughout the year, including during Government mandated periods of lockdown.

UK Christian Broadcasting

TWR-UK broadcasts 24/7 on digital television platforms Sky Guide, Freesat and Freeview and online (accessible from a computer, internet radio and the TWR-UK Smartphone/tablet App). Content for UK audiences is in a speech-based format and includes news, current affairs and Bible teaching. TWR-UK makes programmes for transmission and distributes programmes produced by other Christian broadcasters. Programmes produced by TWR-UK are also distributed as audio on-demand podcasts available on the TWR-UK website, Apps and YouTube channel.

International Christian Broadcasting

TWR-UK is committed to empowering ministry partners and communities around the world and encouraging them to utilise life-giving media in the process of transformation. To fulfil this purpose, we work with organisations around the world, some of which are, like us, partners of TWR International. Our work to enable partners includes: finding and connecting interested parties, offering strategic advice, training, capacity building and offering both financial and practical contributions.

Achievements and performance

Broadcasting and Programme Production

TWR-UK continues to broadcast a speech-based radio service with the very best of Christian ministry, teaching and current affairs programming. This is available on Sky Guide channel 0138, Freesat channel 790, and Freeview HD channel 733 and on the Internet (via a personal computer, Internet radio or the TWR-UK Smartphone App). Through its digital television platforms, TWR-UK's "reach" includes almost every household in the UK.

A selection of programmes is also available to stream or download on the TWR-UK website, Smartphone/tablet Apps and YouTube channel.

Over the past year, TWR-UK has continued to strive to provide high quality and edifying content across all its platforms. We seek to promote a greater understanding of current affairs and to provide the very best in Bible teaching programmes. Our desire is to highlight issues of concern and interest both in the Christian and wider community and to promote understanding, compassion and positive action. We are devoted to transforming lives through the power and influence of the Bible and to maintaining a a distinctive Christian media brand.

Feedback from listeners and supporters offers ample encouragement that TWR-UK's life-changing radio continues to make a positive impact!

Online

TWR-UK's website provides access to our audio content (both as streaming audio and downloadable podcasts) and a window to TWR's global mission. TWR-UK's Apple and Android Apps provide access for mobile users and are helping to boost TWR-UK's online audience. In addition we have increased our engagement with social media, particularly Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Publications

'Listening World' is our primary publication, and is distributed to supporters four times a year. 'Listening World' balances information about TWR-UK's broadcast ministry in the UK with international stories to highlight the impact of missionary radio around the world.

Appeals

During 2021 TWR-UK arranged supporter appeals to encourage support for urgently needed programming from TWR's Silk Road (Central Asia) and PANI (Pakistan, Afghanistan and North India) transmitters as well as the TWR360 digital delivery platform and for the Berber people of North Africa.

Grants

As in previous years TWR-UK allocated a proportion of its general fund income to be used to support UK and overseas projects related to media and missions.

TWR-UK makes grants to partners who have overlapping vision and shared values to our own, to further their activity; specifically to increase the effectiveness of their media projects. Some of those grants are to invest in the capacity and capabilities of the partner organisations so that they are

stronger, more sustainable and better able to thrive in their local context. Other grants are towards specific media projects, whether for airtime, equipment, production or other start-up, development or or running costs. Our approach is focused on enabling partners to use media, predominantly audio, to bring "life in all its fullness" (John 10:10):

Audience and Church Relations

Correspondence testifies to the value listeners place on our broadcasts. During the year TWR-UK has dealt with 3,414 contacts by letter, email or telephone.

TWR-UK is keen to work with local churches to extend our reach across the nation and to highlight the importance of TWR's partnerships around the world. Church visits provide a unique opportunity to share and explore ways to work together in the cause of Christ.

Volunteers

The contribution of volunteers continues to be encouraging and appreciated by TWR-UK. A small volunteer base in Manchester continues to develop and has been available for studio work and listener response ministry. A small team of three church relations volunteers continues to help TWR-UK raise its profile in the UK church and respond to invitations to visit churches and provide speakers.

Public benefit

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The Trustees believe that the charity supports broadcasts and associated activities which stimulate and promote "the advancement of the Christian religion" by expressing and demonstrating God's concern for the holistic needs of all people: spiritual, physical, and emotional. Our broadcasts provide a means by which people of any faith, or none, can take comfort, encouragement and wisdom from Christian values and belief, and can be supported as they face pressure or difficulty. They are readily available to anyone living in the areas to which our programmes are transmitted and TWR provides help and support to those listeners who contact us irrespective of their social, economic or religious background.

Christian Radio and the response to human need: As a national partner in the Trans World Radio international Gospel broadcasting network, TWR-UK is part of a Christian global mass media organisation bringing benefit to the world's public with specific focus on key areas such as women, children and youth, HIV/AIDS and primary health care, church leadership development and societies which are dominated by oral learners. We work in around 300 languages covering over 190 countries; we also have offices and partnerships sprinkled across all the continents. Programmes are broadcast from more than 2,000 outlets, including international transmitting sites, as well as local AM, shortwave, long wave, FM, direct-to-listener satellite broadcasts, cable audio systems and the Internet.

Christian Radio and the advancement of religion: In the UK, TWR-UK broadcasts quality, speechled Christian radio via satellite and the Internet. Through these broadcasts, the general public have access to radio programmes that educate, inform and entertain and demonstrate a clear Christian perspective on values such as family life and neighbour love. All members of the public with suitable receiving equipment have access to programmes designed to inspire them to daily Christ-like living and offer encouragement to live out their faith relevantly in the modern world as responsible citizens.

Year ended 31 December 2021

Christian Radio and the transformation of society : TWR-UK produces and distributes programmes that encourage a belief in God, promote Christian values and make a positive contribution to society. In this respect, TWR represents hundreds of thousands of people drawn from mainstream churches with a vision, adopted from Lord Reith, the first Director General of the BBC, for media that is for the "betterment of society." Religious freedom is an important social value in democratic society and Christianity aspires to transcend all barriers of culture and race and has a major role to play in the elimination of cultural intolerance. TWR is committed to an environment where quality broadcasting is available to every section of our society with the widest possible choice of diverse media services of the highest quality.

How we ensure we fundraise responsibly:

TWR-UK relies on voluntary support. In order to provide the funds required for TWR-UK to fulfil its mission, we fundraise in a number of different ways, which can be summarised as follows:

TWR-UK is registered with The Fundraising Regulator and seeks to follow the Code of Fundraising Practice, which can be found at www. fundraisingregulator.org.uk/code-of-fundraisingpractice. There have been no reported breaches of these standards. We have a number of controls in place to try to ensure that the trust and confidence of our donors and of the public are maintained. Our Supporter Charter can be viewed and downloaded from http://www.twr.org.uk/charter.

Financial review

Reserves Policy and Risk Management

The income and expenditure of TWR-UK is relatively stable compared to many similar charitable organisations. This is because funding is not over-dependent on any particular source and the projections for expenditure are reasonably predictable.

A monthly financial analysis is compiled by the Finance Administrator and the Chief Executive Officer and appraised against annual budgets. This ensures accountability and would alert management and the Council to any difficulties.

However, there are some highly variable sources of income for TWR-UK. It is unclear whether the same outstanding response to ministry opportunities can be maintained, although income here is directly matched to expenditure. More seriously, the variation in legacy income is a potential source of risk. For such reasons, the Council of Members has decided to implement a policy of maintaining a reserve of at least £150,000, which equates to quarterly expenditure. On top of this minimum, the Council also endeavours to keep sufficient reserves to mitigate any potential threat from holding longer term, high cost contracts for transmission. This is considered to be adequate to maintain the integrity of TWR-UK in all foreseeable future circumstances.

The Council of Trans World Radio-United Kingdom will take steps to ensure that "the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks". The Risk Register is reviewed formally annually and risk management is an on-going process that enables the Council to focus on the mitigation of those risks that would prevent TWR-UK achieving its strategic objectives.

Financial review (continued)

Financial results and resources

The results for the year ended 31 December 2021 show a surplus of £127,412 compared with a surplus of £153,662 in the previous year. Income from donations and gifts increased by £2,236 in the year, but legacy income decreased from £377,756 in 2020 to £295,281 in the current year. The cost of generating funds decreased by £2,120.

During the year the company incurred no capital expenditure (2020: £Nil) on office and studio equipment.

The charity's bank and investment balances have increased by £139,446 during the year. The members of Council remain aware of the need to increase future income from donations in order to meet the costs of continuing to broadcast at similar levels. The Charity's investment portfolio continues to be structured to ensure that all investments meet the ethical criteria specified by the Council.

Changes in fixed assets during the period are summarised in note 16 to the financial statements.

Plans for future periods

Ambitions, hopes and plans

The Council of TWR-UK hopes to expand its UK radio service by enhancing the quality of the 24 hour schedule and seeking other means to deliver its content in a way that is more accessible for listeners.

We aim to:

A key element in the effectiveness of any radio service is consistency and reliability and TWR-UK is committed to maintaining current broadcasts while these continue to provide an effective means of communicating with listeners.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Trans World Radio Limited

Year ended 31 December 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Trans World Radio Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 December 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Bruce Court, 25a Hale Road, Altrincham, WA14 2EY.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the council members in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors.

Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Trans World Radio Limited

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

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

Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance Studio equipment - 33% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Year ended 31 December 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The number of members at 31 December 2021 was 7 (2020: 8).
