REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

(continued)

The directors present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).

Objectives and activities

Charitable objects

The Charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. These state the Charity’s two objects that bring spiritual, moral and practical benefits to all people:

When planning the charity’s activities, the directors have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In order to achieve this, the below policies have been set out.

Policies to further our objects

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is run by a Board of Directors, who act as Trustees of the Charity. The directors are drawn from churches throughout the United Kingdom . New directors are appointed by the existing directors and they are inducted and trained as part of the directors’ meetings. Overall responsibility for the Charity’s dayto-day management is delegated to Mr Mark Roberts. He, along with the directors are considered to be key management personnel and their remuneration and benefits, including expenses reimbursed are set out in note 10 to the financial statements. The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings.

Risk management

The directors have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and confirm that systems are in place to mitigate those risks.

Achievements and performance

Covid 19

2020 was a year that everything changed. The Covid 19 virus hit all parts of the world and a number of restrictions were put in place for most of 2020 running in 2021. This naturally has had an impact on all the work that we do. However even though sales have been reduced, we are thankful to God for His provision.

Speaking engagements and events

John Roberts spoke at churches and events throughout the UK. Some of our Council Members also took meetings on behalf of the charity. These, sadly, had to stop in March due to the Covid 19 virus. As at the time of writing we do not have a date when these meetings will be restarted but we expect to do so in the summer of 2021. We plan to increase the number of people that take meetings for the Charity. Churches can contact the office if they would like a speaker to come to their church. All of these meetings are free to attend and open to the public. We are also attending and exhibiting at a number of events in the UK, some by invitation and others to exhibit.

DAY ONE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

(continued)

Prison Ministry

Last year over 195,000 diaries were distributed within prisons and youth centres throughout the UK and abroad. Last year was the 42nd Anniversary of our prison ministry. We plan to continue printing diaries in 2021 in order to fulfil demand. We now have a dedicated web site for the prison work. www.prisons.dayone.co.uk

Publications

The Charity continued to expand its range of literature for both adults and young people. Books continue to be sent to Africa and third world countries and are also donated to Christian organisations for evangelistic outreach. Grace Distribution led by Ben Knerr continues to distribute our products in the USA now under CVBBS in order to extend this work. We also now have a number of distributors in various parts of the world. Due to demand and requests we are also increasing our range of general greetings cards and stationery items. Sales this year have reduced due to the Covid 19 impacts, which churches, bookshop, events and museums being closed.

Day One Tours

Over the past years the Charity has led and promoted parties to the Holy Land and various other destinations. We also arrange tours around the British Museum on a regular basis. These are led by Clive Anderson and Ian Cooper from the trustees and a number of others outside of the trusteeship. These tours are available to the general public who will gain much information from them. We also run a number of events linked to some of our books. The two most popular are Evidence for the Bible and God’s Tree. Details of these events are on the web site, are free of change and open to anybody to attend. These, sadly, had to stop in March due to the Covid 19 virus. As at the time or writing we do not have a date when these meetings will be restarted but we expect to do so in the summer of 2021.

Financial review

Overall, expenditure exceeded income in the year by £39,278 (2019: deficit of £24,752). The balance sheet shows net assets of £814,259 (2019: £853,537) including bank and cash balances of £84,226 (2019: £75,584).

Reserves

The trustees regularly review the level of reserves held by the Charity. The trustees consider that the free reserves of £403,482 are sufficient but not excessive, and will ensure that the Charity is able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives for many years to come.

Investment powers

The directors have discretion on how to invest surplus Charity funds.

Directors

Members of the Board of Directors, who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are shown on page 1.

DAY ONE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

(continued)

Directors’ responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of Day One Christian Ministries for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Small company

The above report is prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

DAY ONE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Day One Christian Ministries

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages 7 to 14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charites 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 Company’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, 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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts 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 accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

DAY ONE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting, and are prepared in sterling, which is the financial currency of the charity, rounded to the nearest £.

Day One Christian Ministries is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ryelands Road, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 8NZ. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing less than £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold buildings, at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Furniture and fittings 10% per annum on reducing balance Computer equipment 33% per annum on a straight line basis

Freehold land and buildings are not depreciated as the directors consider that the useful economic life is so long and the residual value so high as to render any depreciation charge immaterial. The carrying value of the freehold buildings is reviewed annually to consider if any impairment needs to be recognised.

Stocks

Stocks comprise goods for resale and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. It is the policy of the Charity to provide against any stocks that are slow moving or obsolete, and in any event against stocks that are likely to remain in stock five years after the year end date.

Debtors

Income tax receivable and other debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

DAY ONE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

(continued)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and 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.

Income

Voluntary income

Donations and legacies are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured.

Investment income

Dividends, interest and rental income is recognised gross in the year of receipt.

Other trading activities

Publication income is stated net of Value Added Tax.

Job Retention Scheme government grant income

For JRS grant income, the income is recognised in the period to which the underlying furloughed staff costs relate to.

Expenditure

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer term liabilities. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Raising funds

These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

Charitable expenditure

Charitable expenditure 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 of an indirect nature necessary to support them. They also include governance costs which comprise costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.

Pension scheme

Pension costs are charged to outgoing resources as they arise.

Exchange gains and losses

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are reported in the SOFA.

Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
