## FROM OUR PRESIDENT
## **Dear Friend,**
Thank you for partnering with us to share the hope of Jesus Christ during this pivotal time in history. This past year, in the midst of an ongoing pandemic, deadly storms, political instability, and economic uneasiness, you helped people around the world hear the Good News of our Saviour, who “is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8, ESV).
Through events like the Evangelism Summits which were held in Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff, and London last year, we praise God for the many opportunities He gave us to “proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15). Countless men, women, and children heard the message of God’s love, and many responded in faith to call upon Jesus Christ as Lord.
As we look back and reflect on all that the Lord has done, I want to share how grateful I am for your partnership. Through your support and prayers, you are pointing longing hearts to real and lasting hope. Will you join me in praying for the ongoing work of the Gospel in the year ahead?
May God richly bless you.

Sincerely,
Franklin Graham
President

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
The trustees, who act as directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 and the associated Charity Statement of Recommended Practice 2015.
In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the objects are to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ as supported by the evangelistic teachings of the ministry of Franklin Graham, by appropriate means for the public benefit.
The principal activity of the company is supporting the worldwide evangelistic activities of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). This is achieved by:
- ministry activities in the UK including the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, internet evangelism and local pastor support events,
- fundraising to support the activities of the charity,
- distributing BGEA resources,
- training for evangelism and emerging evangelists,
- providing general ministry support by helping with enquiries within the UK and exploring large scale evangelistic opportunities, known as Festivals and Celebrations.
## **GOVERNANCE**
The trustees, who act as directors of the company, serving during the period were as follows:
Mr. J. Barrett - Chair
Mr R. Chilvers Mr J. Gallagher Rev. W. F. Graham, III (also CEO of BGEA-US and President of BGEA globally)

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **GOVERNANCE - CONTINUED**
The trustees meet at least three times per year as a full board to manage the charity. In addition, the trustees have in place board sub-committees to cover the following areas:
- the Finance and Audit Committee, which meets four times a year to review the accounts, review budgets, review the risks associated to the charity’s operations and to review the reserves policy,
- a Governance Committee, which meets as needed to review how the performance and compliance of the board can be improved through new trustees and improvement of processes and procedures.
New trustees are appointed by existing trustees and are required to follow an induction process which consists of being introduced to the operations of the charity, attending a Board meeting, visiting the offices of BGEA in the US to meet staff before being formally appointed and receiving formal training in their responsibilities.
The trustees have delegated day to day management of the Charity to the Senior Management Team which consists of Mr D. Tosh as Executive Director and Mr S. Herbert as Finance Director.
BGEA endeavours to ensure that all trustees receive the induction, training and ongoing support they need to carry out their duties effectively. All new trustees go through an induction programme to familiarise them with the organisation, their duties and legal responsibilities.
As well as those staff employed, BGEA continues to be supported in its administrative affairs by staff employed by Samaritan’s Purse International Ltd (SPI). SPI recharges to BGEA the percentage of staff time spent on its administration.
The charity works in close co-operation and collaboration with similar organisations throughout the world and especially the BGEA office in the USA.

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **THE GOVERNANCE CODE**
The trustees and management of BGEA take the obligations and principles set out in the Governance Code seriously. The Code is built upon a foundation that all trustees understand their legal obligations and then develops seven guiding principles to ensure that charity is well-managed and effective. The principles are leadership, integrity, decision making, risk and control, board effectiveness, diversity, openness and accountability.
BGEA is confident that all the trustees have a full understanding of their legal obligations. All of the trustees have seen the Code in full and are aware of the content and suggested good practice. The Governance Committee has reviewed the Code against a matrix developed by management. The Code itself acknowledges that good governance is an on-going process and as such BGEA is currently satisfied that there is broad compliance with the Code and that it will be held under constant review via the Governance Committee and senior management. With this caveat, the trustees are not aware of any material shortcomings against the Code.
## **KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL**
All salaries are benchmarked using a variety of sources, including current/recent competitive advertised salaries, salary surveys from leading agencies and remuneration data from professional bodies. Salaries are also benched according to geographic location.

## **RISK MANAGEMENT — CONTINUED**
## **COVID–19**
The charity continued to fully comply with the UK government regulations with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. This included the implementation of a number of operational changes, including but not limited to the use of home working and increased hygiene practices in our facilities. Along with the rest of the country, the charity celebrated the removal of all such regulations in February 2022 and looks forward to returning to normal operational patterns for the remainder of the year.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Throughout a rare and unparalleled year where many struggled to navigate life in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association ministered to a fearful and exhausted world. Churches across the United Kingdom have faced great difficulties as they attempt to recover from the pandemic, and church leaders in particular felt a heavy burden as they provided an unprecedented level of pastoral care to their communities. Many felt alone and depleted. Supporting the church has always been an important principle of the ministry, and God opened doors for BGEA to equip and encourage church leaders in the UK through four in-person Evangelism Summits. In addition, BGEA continued to point people to salvation in Jesus Christ through our internet evangelism ministry and the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team.
## BILLY GRAHAM RAPID RESPONSE TEAM
The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) in the United Kingdom currently has a team of 91 trained chaplains from across the country, and because of the pandemic, they ministered in-person and by phone or email.
## DEPLOYMENTS
Five deployments have taken place over the past year:
- Buckingham Palace gates, London, following the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,
- Heysham, Lancashire, after a gas explosion that killed a child,
- Plymouth, Devon, in the aftermath of the UK’s worst mass fatal shooting,
- Leigh on Sea, Essex, after the murder of politician David Amess,
- A church community in Yorkshire following the death of a teenager on a railway line.

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **BILLY GRAHAM RAPID RESPONSE TEAM — CONTINUED**
The Buckingham Palace deployment was a significant deployment. As the country emerged from lockdown restrictions, the chaplains found that people visiting the memorial site outside the palace were eager to engage and pray with them. Many were open to speak about their personal struggles from bereavement, unemployment, financial worries, anxiety, and isolation. The chaplains were able to offer a listening ear to those in need.
Within these deployments, over 20 people indicated that they found salvation in Jesus Christ. Chaplains also prayed with over 150 people overall.
## PRAYER SUPPORT
Upon the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the previous year, BG-RRT was able to offer the opportunity for people to request a prayer with the crisis-trained chaplains by submitting a request through the BGEA UK website.
To care for website visitors who were struggling with fear or anxiety in the wake of the pandemic, we posted a chaplain call-back request form. Our crisis-trained team responded to each of the requests and ministered over the telephone and via email.
## TRAINING, EXTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS AND SUPPORT
The training of chaplains, church leaders and members, and local government organisations remained a vital component of the BG-RRT ministry, and it has become foundational in making disciples and equipping believers to serve a hurting world. During the past year:
- Two online Sharing Hope in Crisis seminars were delivered in Brighton and Kensington.
- Two God’s Hope in Crisis seminars were provided to churches in the immediate aftermath of a crisis in Lancashire and Yorkshire,
- 27 Billy Graham chaplains attended a three-day enhanced training event which included topics ranging from safeguarding and suicide awareness to effective listening and sharing your faith,
- Training was provided to Free Churches NHS and Social Care Chaplains on Trauma, Resilience and Self Care,
- Members of Gwent and Caerphilly Crisis Support Team were equipped to minister in times of bereavement and trauma,
- The ministry was able to provide Suicide Awareness training for The West Yorkshire Police Chaplains.
In total over the past year, more than 200 individuals received training from the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team ministry in the United Kingdom.

## INTERNET EVANGELISM
Last year, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s internet evangelism ministry, Search for Jesus, continued to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with thousands of searching hearts from the United Kingdom and across the rest of the world.
More than 127,000 visitors came to the site last year, and over 22,000 indicated that they made a decision for Jesus Christ through the PeaceWithGod UK website (PeaceWithGod.org.uk). This is part of a global effort which saw over 7,900,000 web site visits. Through this ministry, people can communicate with a global team of over 1,300 trained volunteers.
Search for Jesus ministers in English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin), American Sign Language, Russian, Korean, and Portuguese. In the United Kingdom, the volunteer team is made up of 55 volunteers ministering in three different languages (English, Spanish, and Arabic), and they are available to share the Gospel and offer prayer through social media, instant messaging in a chat box, and email. Additionally, volunteers are also able to provide personal discipleship to people from around the world through online discipleship courses.
One person who previously followed Buddhist teaching found Jesus Christ through one of these courses and said:
_“I now know that this peace can only be found through accepting and following Jesus Christ. I have got rid of my little buddha statues, my wall canvas, all my Buddhist books, and a necklace and a lotus flower ring I bought. All have gone, without regret.”_
—Response from a Discipleship Student on the Know Jesus course.
Another course participant said:
_“I really enjoyed this course. I will go on and learn more. There are no words to describe how I really feel, but I know one thing, I am not the same person as I was last year.”_
Volunteers who have ministered through Search for Jesus are also finding their involvement with the ministry to be enriching and encouraging.
_“I was involved with mission activity around the UK but now physically less able, so this gives a great way to keep active on the front line and keep one’s faith alive.”_
—Statement from a Search for Jesus volunteer.

## **INTERNET EVANGELISM — CONTINUED**
Search for Jesus also connected people to local churches through its online Church Locator. There are 435 churches on the locator, with 160 individual churches being added in the past year (over 61% growth from previous year), and 15 people were directed to these churches for discipleship and follow up.
## GOD LOVES YOU TOUR AND EVANGELISM SUMMITS
Churches and ministries across the globe have wrestled with the process of moving forward from the restrictions and limitations brought about by the COVID-19 virus. Despite facing obstacles with venue cancellations and the pandemic, multiple legal victories by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association opened doors for the God Loves You Tour to take place in 2022. Official dates and venues were announced in October 2021:
- Liverpool: May 14 – Exhibition Centre
- Cardiff: May 21 – ICC Wales
- Sheffield: May 25 – Sheffield Arena
- London: July 16 – ExCeL London
Towards the end of 2021, BGEA held four in-person Evangelism Summit events in preparation for the upcoming God Loves You Tour, and they exceeded expectations in both attendance and response. In total, almost 2,000 believers and church leaders participated in Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff, and London.
- Glasgow: 300 delegates
- Liverpool: 565 delegates
- Cardiff: 421 delegates
- London: 638 delegates
Delegates described the Summits as enriching, encouraging, and stimulating. Internationally acclaimed speakers were invited to deliver impactful sessions to inspire and lift up church leaders at a time when most felt alone and exhausted. We thank God for the opportunity to gather and worship as Christians for the sake of the Gospel.

## GOD LOVES YOU TOUR WITH FRANKLIN GRAHAM
The God Loves You Tour with Franklin Graham was announced in the Autumn of 2021. The tour will bring the Gospel message to the cities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Newport, and London. The large-scale evangelistic events are supported by over 2000 churches across the United Kingdom who are actively engaged in the preparations and prayer for a successful evening of ministry.
A major key to the impact of the evangelistic tour is the training and equipping of local Christians in each of the respective cities. BGEA will always seek to equip believers in every stage of their Christian walk. Over 100 Christian Life and Witness Classes are underway ahead of the God Loves You Tour to train over 5000 people. The classes, which are being held in different locations across the United Kingdom, teaches Christians how share their faith, as well as serving at the upcoming God Loves You Tour events. We are grateful that through the course, thousands of believers across the United Kingdom have been equipped with skills in evangelism. One person who attended a class in Sheffield said: _“Every Christian needs the skill that this class teaches.”_
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Income for the 12-month period amounted to £3,262,873 (2021: £2,481,747), whilst expenditure totalled £2,812,587 (2021: £2,589,357). The net surplus of the charity amounted to £450,286 (2021: (£107,610)). The charity was able to expend £2,597,151 (2021: £2,335,469) on its charitable activities.
The Balance Sheet shows total funds of £928,082 (2021: £477,796), comprising restricted funds of £645,874 (2021: £182,918) and unrestricted funds of £282,208 (2021: £294,878). The financial statements set out on pages 24 to 38 show the charity’s financial position at 31[st] March 2022.
Adequate general donations were received during the year, but strenuous efforts are being made to increase the level of donations in order to reduce the reliance on grants from International Headquarters and to realise future plans for the on-going UK based activity after the Tour is completed.

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FUNDRAISING**
The Charity is ever grateful for the steadfast support of our donors this year. The work of the ministry would not be possible without their faithful giving. The Charity uses several different communication methods to attract and retain support, including:
- direct Mail of newsletters and appeals,
- emailing newsletters and appeals,
- opportunities for regular giving via Standing Order,
- use of the website and social media accounts,
- opportunities for planned giving through a Legacy programme.
The Charity seeks to be transparent as to how the donated funds raised will be used and, in all cases, any restriction placed on a donation is strictly followed and fulfilled. In cases where the Charity is unable to use the donation, the supporter will be contacted and either another use for the funds agreed or they are returned.
The Charity maintains and monitors the wishes of each supporter and will only communicate using methods the supporter has given clear and informed consent for us to use. The Charity does not knowingly communicate with young people below the age of 18 or any vulnerable adult. Where we are made aware that such people may be receiving communications from us, our records are amended to prevent further communication.
The Charity has robust systems in place to ensure that where a supporter wishes to cease being contacted, either directly with us or through the Fundraising Preference Scheme, this action can be implemented immediately.
The Charity is compliant with the Institute of Fundraising Code of Practise and received no serious complaints about its fundraising practices during the year.

## **RESERVES POLICY**
During the year the Board of Trustees reviewed the reserves policy.
The general fund is held to meet the opportunities, contingencies and risks which the charity may not be able to meet out of income, if and when they arise. At the end of the year £282,208 (2021: £294,878) was being held in the general fund.
The existing reserves policy whereby the Board of Trustees considered that the charity should maintain reserve levels in the general fund in a target range of £100k to £150k has been reviewed and is considered to be appropriate. This level of reserves is sufficient to cover at least 90 days of normal operating expenses. The trustees acknowledge that the timing of a large legacy in February 2021 has created a balance in excess of this level.
## **INVESTMENT POLICY**
Any short-term surplus cash is invested in interest bearing accounts. This is reviewed by the trustees.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
The ministry of the BGEA remains a unique and growing expression of Christian civil society in the United Kingdom. Our commitment to traditional Biblical theology and the proclamation of the Gospel in the public sphere remains a hallmark of our mission – which has shown a profound impact across the country as partnerships with churches in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland continue to grow. The ministry will continue to express its public benefit of supporting and growing the Christian faith through the local church via the following ministry streams:

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE — CONTINUED**
## 1. RESOURCES
Biblically-based resources will continue to be developed and made available through the website and promotional events. Resources will remain challenging, accessible from various platforms, and consistently based on Biblical teachings.
The organisation is committed to providing additional evangelistic trainings to the public through the Christian Life and Witness courses, as well as supporting the local church through Christian leaders’ meetings and Evangelism Summits.
## 2. INTERNET EVANGELISM
Significant numbers of people will continue to come to faith in Jesus Christ through the online platforms of SearchforJesus.net and PeaceWithGod.org.uk. We will continue to recruit and train our volunteer online coaches who help answer questions and disciple new believers around the world, as well as increasing the network of churches who are willing and able to receive these enquirers or new believers to ensure that continued discipleship happens. During the year we aim to increase the number of churches involved from 450 to 600, and to increase the number of active volunteers.
## 3. BILLY GRAHAM RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS
Serving communities affected by disaster and trauma through Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains remains a privilege and a powerful ministry tool for BGEA. Crisis-trained chaplains provide a vital service of offering support to victims, those indirectly impacted, and the emergency services. Support is given irrespective of race, creed, gender or sexuality. We will continue to expand, train and equip our chaplains to be able to respond when such events occur, as well as provide specialised training to communities to equip them with the proper response in times of crisis.
In 2022, BGEA aims to deploy Billy Graham chaplains alongside a supporting local church in increased regularity. This may include assisting churches who are receiving Ukrainian refugees as part of the government’s Homes for Ukraine programme.
## 4. FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
The upcoming God Loves You Tour will reach thousands of people with the Gospel message in Liverpool, Newport, Sheffield, and London. These one-day events are preceded by months of preparation and training of local believers who wish to serve as counsellors at the event, or to simply bring their friends and family to hear a message of hope.
Future events may take place in Glasgow, Newcastle, and Birmingham. We continue to pray for the evangelism events which have been delayed since the deplatforming of the Graham Tour in 2020.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
Company and charity law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for the period.

The trustees also confirm that, as far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware, and they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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.

**AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **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 auditor’s report 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 course of 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

**AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Trustees’ Report which includes the Directors’ Report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION**
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 17, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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.

**AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES — CONTINUED**
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.
## **AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
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 an auditor’s report 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 the 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. Based on our understanding of the charity and its activities, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice, UK tax legislation, pensions legislation, employment regulation and health and safety regulation, anti-bribery, corruption and fraud, money laundering, non-compliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID-19, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.
We evaluated the trustees’ and 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 manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to use of restricted and endowment funds, and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those identified risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) and fraud that are material to the financial statements. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
- discussing with the trustees and management their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;

**AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES — CONTINUED**
- communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
- considering the risk of acts by the charity which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
- making enquiries of the trustees and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
- discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
- addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities, including fraud, rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
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 auditor’s report.
## **USE OF THE AUDIT REPORT**
This report is made solely to the charity’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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).
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. The financial statements have been prepared in Pound Sterling as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates.
## **b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Charity has reported a cash inflow of £52,642 (2021 – outflow of £94,293). The trustees have no concern over the future financial viability of the Charity as there are sufficient funds available for the on-going work of the Charity. The trustees have considered the impacts of COVID-19 but in view of the fund balances and cash carried into the year and the on-going support for all Tour activities by BGEA-US which now extends into 2022 they remain confident in their assessment.
## **c) Recognition of income**
Income from donations and gifts are recognised on a receivable basis. Legacies are recognised as income when notified to the charity, if the receipt is both probable and measurable. Grants are recognised in the financial statements in the year in which they are receivable. Income from charitable trading activities is included in income in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt. Income tax recovered and interest receivable are accounted for on an accruals basis.
## **d) Expenditure**
- The cost of raising funds includes direct fundraising and publicity costs and a proportion of staff and support costs.
- ‘Charitable activities’ includes the direct costs of the ministry programmes, along with a proportion of staff and support costs.
- Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E137EE5A-1168-4A75-9B1A-5FFC97191E17
**FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES — CONTINUED**
- Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.
- Publicity expenditure comprises all expenditure in relation to the advertising and promotion of the charity.
- Grants include payments made to institutions, other than for goods or services.
- Governance costs include Board and trustees’ expenses, accounting and audit, legal advice to the trustees and any costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements. When appropriate there will also be an apportionment of shared and indirect costs involved in supporting the governance activities.
## **e) Value Added Tax**
The charity is registered for VAT and all income and expenditure is shown net of the related VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.
## **f) Pension costs**
Pension contributions are paid into a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable in the period are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities. Charges are allocated between Restricted Funds and Unrestricted Funds based on the activity of the employee involved.
## **g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its useful life, as follows:
Equipment, fixtures and fittings — 33.3% straight line method Vehicles — 33.3% straight line method
The de minimis capitalisation level is £500.
## **h) Fund accounting**
Funds held by the charity are divided into unrestricted and restricted funds.
Restricted funds are used for purposes specified by the donor. Unrestricted funds are those which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. Transfers from unrestricted funds are made where the restricted funds are in deficit and there is no likelihood of any recovery in future.

**FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES**
## **FUND ACCOUNTING — CONTINUED**
## **i) 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **j) Estimates and judgements**
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
In the period under review, the value of the Gift In Kind Donations made on behalf of the Graham Tour 2020 have been converted at the average exchange rate between the UK£ and US$. There is £646k of deposits for hotels and venues relating to the Tour included in prepayments which management are confident are all recoverable.
Management believe that, because of the underlying nature and value of estimates and judgements made in the preparation of these financial statements, it is highly unlikely that that an error in these estimates and judgements would lead to a material misstatement.
