REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
I. LEThER FROM THE CEO & CHAIRMAN
2020 was a year like no other. We were thrown to our knees as coronavirus Swept the city, the nation
and the world. Yet, despite all the change, all the pain, all the difficulties, the Eospel remains the same
and The London City Mission ILCMI has kept on serving an(1 sharing the good news of Jesus Wlth the
pooresi and neediest in our city. Just as we dld through other pandemics like cholera in the 1840s and
Spanish Flu after the First World War.
At a time when so many ofus were confined to our homes for much ofthe year, LCM found new and
creative ways to share the unchanging gospel message, and to encourage and equip churche5 across
our city to reach out to their neighbours and those communitie5 least likety to know of the saving work
of Jesus Christ.
We have seen Ios5 and grief on a personal level, wlthin our thurches and across our city, and yet we
remaln rooted in Christ and committed to Hi5 mi55ion in London.
We have been working from home, setting up onllne Bible studies wlth local churches, home schoolin8
our children and competing for Internet bandwidth. Through it all we have remained rooted in Christ
and committed to sharing the gospel alon8slde London's churches, so that people who are least likelv
to have a Christian friend to tell them the truth about Christ hear the good news.
We have experienced changes to the way we work on the field so that we can partner with more
churches, equip more Christian5 and reach more people in our city for Christ. We have prayed and
50U8ht the Lord's dlrectlon, and whlle the majority of staff felt called to Stay, others have moved on,
leavin8 as firm frlends of the Misslon, and yet In It all, we remaln rooted In Chrlst and steadfast for the
gospel.
As we are forced to our knees, as we cry out in pain, we come to the Lord and we pray. This is the best
place for us to be. Humbled before hlm, recognising our weaknesses and failing5 and acknowled8inB
his power and strength. In 2 Corinthlans 12.9, Poul writes: 'But he said to me, "My grace15 5ufficlent
for you, for my power is made perfect In weakness..
Too often in modern society there is a deslre to
be the greatest and the best, but the Lord says, blessed are the poor in spirit. LCM feels at home
amonBSt the weak and the poor in spirSt. We have been very much aware of our dependence on God,
and his grace in brin8in8 US through this year.
We 8ive the Lord thanks and praise for all he has done and enabled through the Mlssion this year. We
also want to Say a deep and heart-felt thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and those we
have worked alon8slde this year, who made a generous financial 8ift at a time of great economl
uncertalnty, and who gave their tlme to volunteer.

2. STRAIEGIC REPORT
2A. PURPOSE & IMPAcr
At the heart of The London City Misslon ILCMI Is a deslre to share our gifts and experience In
evangelism to serve a growing and flourishing church that is envisioned, equipped and enabled to
share the love of God and good news of Jesus with the least reached communitie5 in London. We work
with churches to see people who mi8ht otherwlse never hear the gospel, come to know salvation an
fullness of life in Jesus Chrlst.
The way we do that, and the people groups we reoch, change5 35 London changes, but sharlng the
80spel in word and deed with people least likely to hear it remains at the core of what we do, as it has
done for 186 years.
London Clty Mlsslon exlsts t0 Serve the Church In London in sharlng the love of God and the good
news oAJe5U5 Chr15t wlth people In London who ure leost Ilkely to hear It.
One in three people in London are unlikely to hear the gospel during thelr Ilfetlme unless we reach
out to them. They are part of 'least reached, communltles and are unllkely to know a Christian who
can share their faith and Invite them to church.
Thls Includes those Ilvlng on the margins of soclety, people from other nation5, cultures and faiths,
and those people1Sving on some of the poorest and m05t deprlved estates In the city. They are also
the people most likely to have been impacted by coronavlrus - more likely to be front line workers,
more Ilkely to have been Infected, and more Ilkely to have dled. The poorest in our city now face the
economic wave of the pandemlc, If they are not olready In the mldst of It.
Worklng as a catalyst alongslde the Church, tO8ether, by God's grace, our vislon is to raise up more
workers for the haNest so that many more people from these least reached communltles In London
can hear the Ilfe-glvin8 good news of Jesus Christ.
This kind of urban ministry involves working in partnership with churches to develop respectful and
caring relatlonshlp5 Wlth people from all kinds of back8rounds as good news, hope, and practical love
is shared. Followlng Chrlst's example, many of those people we come alongside, may stru88le wlth
economic, relationali physical, social, family or personal troubles.
During the pandemic of 2020. LCM contlnued to be creative In ministry. Blble studles went onllne,
community SUPPOrt was offered through leaflettin8 blocks of flats with phone numbers to call, and
emergency food parcels were distributed.
On average, we held Blble 5tudles wlth 287 least reached people every week, sharing the
hope of the gospel
Our missionaries supported an average 135 Isolated people every Tmeek in the hardest hit
communities across London
We handed out an average of 147 food packages every week to people who were homele55
or who faced financial difficultles.

2C. WHAT mA￿ER5 TO US
London needs Jesus and the ministry of LCM is to share the goo(1 news of lesu5 Christ with those In
London unlikely to otherwise hear. We do this by workin8 alongside the Church in London, helping
churches build bridges into least reached communitie5 in their local area. We are whole-hearted in
this and yearn to see the10st Saved and changed into Christ's Ilkeness.
LCM has a set of values which shape the way we work and relate to each other, to the Church and to
the people and tommunitie5 we engage with.
Our values are:
Rooted In Chrlst - We are prayerfully dedicated to dolng God's will and living his way,
according to his word.
christ.llke love - We look not to our own interests but to the Interests of other5 because we
are unlted as brothers and sI5ters in Christ.
God-glorlfylng excellence- We pursue the best that we can be to glorify God and serve each
other in all we do.
Splrlt~Snsplred Courage and perseverance - We stand flrm, push through, and pay the price
for the sake of Chrlst and the gospel.
2D. KEY EVENTS IN 2020
Coronavlru5
The coronavirus pandemlc has affected us all. But it's the marglnalised, people experiencing
homelessness, older people, and those wlth health issues who were hardest hit in 2020. As the
economic Impact of the pandemlc begins to be felt In even greater measure, it's those people in lower
paid jobs. with less lob securlty, who will be impacted the hardest.
As the coronaviru5 pandemic hit London, LCM continued to work with churches to share the hope that
is found in Jesus Christ wlth those least likely to hear it. Our activitles adapted and changed, but the
desire and urgency to share the gospel remained as steadfast as ever.
During lockdown, mlssionaries continued to serve those in need by adapting food dislrlbutlon services
to run In line wlth Government guidelines. Webber Street Day Centre for people who are homeless
was able to provlde hot drinks and a meal for around 40-80 people a day. As demand Increased, we
worked with some food bank5 to ensure food parcels were (lelivered to those who needed them most,
and, thanks to the generosity of supporters, we've been able to provide emergency food vouchers for
those who we are comlng alongslde, sharing the gospel in word and deed.
People like Morgaret, a single mother who has three children under the uge of 11. Margaret hodn't

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR5
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
other missionaries set up online Bible studies and followed up with their contacts by phone or video
call. Missionary Olly Sherwood shares how God has been at work through his online Bible studv
"One man came not knowing Jesus but calling himself spiritual and a believer in God. One week in, I
was sharing on Jesus being the way, truth and the life and how you can't truly accept the Father
without accepting Jesus. He rang me afterwards and Started to Say to me that he was recognlsing
that we don't Just see Jesu5 a5 a teacher but rather we see that he is God in flesh. A few hours later
he messaged me again. I was over the moon to read. I have handed my will over to Jesus for the
first time rather than a God of my own understanding."
Church speaklng engagements have also continued vla Zoom, enabllng mi551onarles to connect with
our supporter base, a vital source of prayer and encouragement for ministry.
As missionaries worked even more closely with the church in London, they were able to support more
and more churches to pray and share the gospel in word and deed with the least reached people In
their communlties, at a time when the demands on many church leaders had drastically increased
with the realStles of the pandemlc.
Where government guidelines allowed, In-person actlvltle5 took place with social distancing, PPE and
risk assessments makin8 all our lives more complicated but keeping Vltal gospel ministry living at a
time when people desperately needed hope. We were pleased that LCM missionaries were recognised
within government guidellnes as key workers and continued to be able to safely help the m05t
vulnerable in our communitie5 at a tlme when many people had to stay home. A small number of staff
were furloughed, largely for health or childcare reasons while schools were closed, and we
appreclated the government furlough grant.
Thanks to our faithful 5UPPOrters, we did, and continue to do, all we can to Serve practically and
spirltually ot this time. If there was ever a tlme when London needs Jesus, St's now.
Mlnlstry revlew and strategv
In early 2019, the Board of LCM approved a new flve-year strate8y.
Praise God for the 21,OCQ people who heard the gospel, often for the first tlme from a London Clty
Missionary In the previous five years, along with the many who, by God's grace, responded. However,
that left one in three people In London unllkely to have anyone to tell them the 8ood news- a total
of 3 mlllion peoplel
In London, that means we estimate one person every 30 minutes passes Into eternity without ever
hearlng about the hope found in Jesus Christ- we urgently need to do much more to raise up more
workers for the haNest.
There are thousands of churches right across London, and hundreds of thousands of Bible-believlng
Christians. With the right motivation, training and support. many of them can effectlvely share the
80spel with the least reached people of London.
We recognise that to reach the three million people in London who are least likely to hear the good
news of Jesu5, we need to be working alongside even more churthes to see everyday Christians
evangeli5e the least reached communities in their local area. And so, we sought God about our work,

looking into scripture that holds particular si8nificante about the role of the evangelist in serving the
church.
'50 Christ himsellgave the opostle5 theprophets. the evan
elists thepastors and teochers, to equip

mettsure oAtheAullness oAChrist.' Ephesion$ 4..11-13
Followin8 a year-long ministry review, we made significant changes in 2020, both to the role of our
missionaries and to the way we work with churches. For example, missionaries who were working
wlthin one church have shifted thelr focus to work wlth a range of churches in their area.
LCM recognlse that these changes, whi15t a positive step for seein8 more people In London reached
with the gospel, could be difficult for some indivldual missionaries. The Mi551on has been grateful for
the grace and perseverance shown by mission Staff through this time. LCM is always committed to
supporting the calling of God on any missionary's life and provided a generous redundancy package
for those who didn't feel called to 80 forward wlth the changes. A number of missionaries took the
opportunity of voluntary redundancy to pursue ministry elsewhere, the overwhelmSng malorlty
leaving as firm friend5 of the Mission.
LCM has been recrultlng new Missionaries and Team Leaders since the start of 2021. We thank God
that nine gifted and experienced gospel workers have already started and eight have been appointed
to Start In September. Please pray for them as they seek to ralse the prayer and financial support
needed to enable flourishin8 mlnlstries amongst people least likely to have heard of the life-changin8
truth about Jesus Christ.
By God's grace, we've always adapted to London's changing landscape through hlslory, and we have
done so agaln now. We will alway5 be committed to sharing the gospel, working in partnership with
churche5 and going to the least, the last and the lost. We remaln committed to our call to glorify God
and by his great mercy, see the salvation of many in London.
As part of this refocused strategy, LCM made the declslon to repurpose varlous cafés the Mlssion had
run. It Is important for us as a mission, not simply to keep doing what we've always done, but in the
context of an ever-changing London, to prayerfully wei8h and evaluate everythlng we ¢Jo as stewards
of an effective 8ospel ministry.
Our aim 15 now to conlinue workin8 alongside local churche5 to make use of these buildings, which
are still owned by LCM, to reach even more people who are marginallsed or living on the deprived
estates In Tower Hamletswith the gospel. Our prayer Is that many of the
previous ministrie5 will continue, flourish and grow, ond we are already seeing that happen with the
EnElish classes we've equipped a local church to run and take the lead on. As a result of these changes
to our cafes, and with the closure of the bookshop on Tower Brld8e Road, our trading costs for the
year have fallen significantly. We are now able to use the resources we previously invested to resource
80spel minSstry elsewhere, which we believe will have an even greater overall impact.

REPORT OF I"HE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2E MISSIONAL AcfiviTIES
LCM focuses on the following key missional actlvlties, as we partner with Churches in mission.
Sendlng out mlsslonarles
We send out missionaries, gifted and trained in urban mission, to work alongside London's churches
to share the gospel with least reached communities. The outcome of our ministry results in increased
dlverslty of the evangelical Church in London with greater representation from more UK communities
either a5 members of churches, or in relationship with churches through community actlvitles that the
church has proactively developed to bulld bridges. This intreased representation both strengthens the
voice of the Church as she speaks to issues in wider society and helps the Church grow In
understanding and love for our neighbour re8ardless of a8e, socio-economic status, religion, ethnicity
or country of origln.
During 2020. LCM continued to work alon8side local churches to minister in some of the most
spiritually and economlcally deprived are35 of London. Within these communities, we seek to serve
the Church In reaching out to people who are least Ilkely to have a Christian friend who can tell them
about Jesus. For example, we work with..
young people at risk of gan8 culture and violence
people who are living Sn poverty, sufferlng from mental Illness or experienclng long-term
unemployment
people in their later years who are housebound and Isolated, livlng In some of London's most
deprlved communltles
people on the move from other parts of world who are living in London
people who are homeless, involved in sex work, in prlson or have a crlmlnal convlction
people who come from different cultural and rellglous backgrounds
As part of our 5-year strategy, LCM has identlfied areas of speclallsm wlthln least reached
communities. We focus on..
Chlldren, youth and schools
Councll estates and seniors
Homele55 and marginali5ed
Islam and other reli8ions
Children
outh and schools
There are around two mllllon chlldren and young people in London. We estimate around half of them
do not have a Christian f riend,. many of them are from Muslim back8rounds. We want to work together
with churches to help reach them wlth the gospel,
More than a third of London'5 children live in poverty- one 2020 survey of I,OCKI parents in London
found 16% of their children had gone for at leasi a day without food . Many live fragmented, chaotic
lives. Some are in gang5 or at risk of falling into gangs, and we know teens who carry knives and others
who have tragically been stabbed and kllled.
We long to see children and young people in London, who are least likely to have Christlan friends,
encounter Jesus and live happy, healthy Ilves.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
"Start chlldren off on the woy they should go. and even when they ore old they will not turn from
It." Proverbs 22..6
We partner with churches to share the gospèl with London's least reached children and young people.
Churches can ofien be Incredibly good at running activities for children of church families but involvin8
troubled thildren or those from other cultures in those activities can be more of a challenge. so church
outreach activities may need to be Intentionally adapted.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters, we can work in ministry together with local churche5,
launching youth groups, golng into schools and startin8 up community activities like foodbanks.
Everythin8 from after-school clubs and football tralnlng to toddler groups and summer camps, are In
the mix- as long as they build relationships with young people and create relational opportunltles to
share the gospel effectively. Durlng 2020 we adapted many of these artivltles to be run online or
throu8h Christian activity packs given to young children unable to attend school in person. We 8Sve
thanks to God that in one ministry, more teenagers from a local estate en8a8ed with the Bible 5tudie5
on Zoom than had come to them when they ran in person.
Council estates and seniors
Some of London's's least reached people Ilve on our citls estates. White worklng.class families are
among those least likely to have a Christlan frlend as studie5 show churches are disproportionately
fllled with unlversity graduates. We know that older people livin8 on estates often feel lonely and
forgotten, many feelln8 unsafe when they leave thelr homes and becomlng Increasln8ly isolated as a
result.
We love reaching people on estates wlth the gospel of Jesus Christ and helplng London's churches to
share the good news as they welcome them into fellowship. There is a huge opportunity to befrlend
people of all ages on estates and our mlssionarie5 find a great openness to havin8 conversations about
God and falth. Churches have a vital role to play In reachin8 communlties on their doorstep. As
Christians, we can walk alongside people, share Ilfe tO8ether, and open up the beauty of the gospel
message In life chan8ln8 ways.
Since it was founded in 1835, LCM has vislted people in the community they are trying to reach, wlth
team member5 calling on their neiBhbour5 to introduce themselves, gettlng to know resident5 and
V15iting people Sn thelr homes. We have continued thls in Ilne wlth government guideline5 durln8 2020
and have equipped other churches to do the same. It has provided a Ilfeline for many who were
shieldlng and an opportunity to connect people with a local 8ible-believing church, providing a phone
number they can call If they need help with grocerles, collecting medication or someone to listen and
pray with them in a time of 8reat difflculty.
"Because we loved you 50 much, we were dellohted to shore wlth you not only the gospel of God
but our lives Q5 well." l Thessalonlan$ 2..8
Homeless and mar
inalised
Thanks to the generosity of ihose who partner with u5 in the gospel, we can minister to people who
are homeless, or who are involved in the sex industry, prisoners, former prlsoners, people struggling
with addictions and those with mental health challenges. These are often the people with deeplv
broken lives, on the margins of society, the most vulnerable and overlooked. They are among the
people in London least reached with the gospel.

REPORI. OF T'HE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
According to the Combined Homelessness and Information Network ICHAINI there were 11,018
people who slept rough in London during April 2020- March 20212 almost twice as many as ten years
ago LCM Cares for and loves people who are homeless, sharing the gospel in word and deed. Durin8
2020 we were able to adapt our ministries at our day centre at Waterloo to continue to provide much
needed and vital servlces during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as providing opportunities for
people to continue to hear of God's grace to them in Jesus Christ. We offer practical and relational
carei provide hot food and drink, help to signpost 8ue5ts to other services. Some of our missionarles
have been running outdoor Bible studles with local churches for people who are homeless.
Often, the lives of people who are homeless and marginalised are chaotic and damaging. But we
follow Jesus, example, to engage respectfully, personally and compassionately with people who can
so often be overlooked. We provide relief to those in need at Webber Street Day Centre, where people
who are homeless receive food, friendship and the good news of Jesus.
°For I wos hungry and you gave meAood, I was thlrsty and you gave me drlnl I wos 4 5tranqer and
you welcomed me" {Motthew 25.'35J
LCM partners with churches to lovingly share the grace of Christ with people who are homeless and
marglnalised. It can be dauntlng to know where to even start with this kSnd of gospel ministry. With
our experience, we can help churches develop or grow mlnistry with people who are homeless and
mar8inallsed, and together take every opportunity to share the life-chan8ln8 8ood news of Jesus.
We also work wlth churche5 through Hope Community Homes and The Corner House, The London
Clty Mission accommodation pro8rammes for people trylng to Eet off the streets. We want to give
those who are ready to move away from rough sleeping more than just a bed- we also want to 8ive
them the opportunlty to change thelr Ilfestyle for good and, as Chrlstlans, we belleve that true life can
only be found in knowing Jesus.
Islam and other reli
ions
A significant number of LCM team works wlth people from a range of diverse religlons, culiures,
ethnlcities, and nationallties. There are more than a million Muslims in London, includln8 many from
nations where the Chrlstlan gospel is not officially allowed to be preached. We want to sensitively
share the good news of the true Jesus with our Musllm nei8hbours and we praise God for H15 grace in
the Ilves of those who flnd Chr15t and for the relationships we help churches build wlth Musllm
communities In their area.
For decade5, we have crossed divides and reached out irb love to Musllms and those of other faiths. As
we continue to do this, we have plenty of experience and wisdom to share. We love looking at ways
we can work with local churches to develop and establish such minlstry, so together we can see God's
grace make an eternal difference to people's lives.
"l am the way and the tmth ond the IIAe. No one comes to the Fatherexcept through me."John 14.,6
We partner with churches to share the gospel with Muslims and people of other religions. We do this
by providing resources, training people in local churches to sensitively reach out with respect, care
and wisdom. and helping to develop and establish ministry projecls. We can help churches start
activities like language classes, Christian-musllm dlscussion evenings an(1 high street book tables,
where Christianity can be discussed with Muslims in a spirit of openness and love.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Partnershlp In m5sslon
Thanks to the prayers and backing of supporters, LCM missionaries can build connections with local
churches in areas of London where we know the largest communities of people live who are least
likely to have heard the gospel. We seek to come alongside thurches, working together to identify
ways to reach those people least Ilkely to hear the gospel in their area. The result could be any number
of ministries started together- perhaps starting an evangelistic foodbank that seeks to share the good
news along with providing much needed food supplles. During lockdown, this could have meant
leafleting the local area with an offer of help for those who are shielding, running an online seeker5
course, or it could be hostin8 online after-school youth Broups for young people not Used to church,
where they con learn how much Jesus loves them.
We glve thanks for the many partnershSps LCM has wlth churche5 and organisations across the citv
and beyond. We continue to build relationships and develop partnerships Wlth a variety of churches,
networks and gospel organisatlons, as together we seek to reach out wlth the Eood new5 of Jes115
Christ. These include partnershSps in ministry on the ground, partnershlps Wltli churches we are
equlpping in other ways, and partnerships with supporting churches.
LCM Is working alongside local churches to make use of our operational Chrlstlan Centre bulldlngs,
undertoking artive ministry to least reached communities. Repair costs for these Centres wa5 minimal
In 2020 because of the Ilmited access and use of the buildlngs due to the pandemic.
Dla5pora churches
We are determined to see the gospel reach the areas of London where people are least Ilkely to hear
it. Churches founded by and primarily made up of Chrlstians from another part of the world are often
present In the least reached areas of London. For example, in a deprived area in Elephant and
Castle, we flnd a body of Latln Amerlcan belSevers, or In Brixton there are many African churches.
God has brought together a 8lobal church to reach a Blobal city. We pray that we would see more and
more diaspora churches becomlng citle5 on a h511, equlpped to share the Eospel not only to their own
communitie5, but within thelr local neighbourhoods as well, particularly wlth communltles where the

We partner with diaspora churches, emboldening and equipping them to Share the gospel with the
people yet to hear the 805pel in their local area. This could involve supporting them to start church
services in dlfferent larbguages, connecting them with other local churches from other cultural
backgrounds to do mission together, or training church members on outreach mlni5try.
Equlpplng workers for the harvest
LCM serves and equips the Church in London to reach out Into thelr communitles wlth the gospel. One
way we do this is to share our experience and insiBht through our on-the-ground practical equipping
sessions, training resources and courses which are desigrbed to equip Christians for evangelisti
outreach in an urban context. We provide training to Chrlstians on urban mission, ranging from a one-
day course in Practical Evangelism to studying for a two-year Graduate Diploma.
Our training pro8rammes also provide education and training to young adults. Urban Pioneers is a
specialised programme for people who are from the communities we are seeking to reach with the
good new5 of Jesus. Pioneers may not have much formal education, may have En81ish as a second

ministry would not be accessible for them.
Thanks to the generosity of our partners, we can support and train Pioneers to develop outreach
ministries in their own churches to help share the gospel wlth others. The programme combines
classroom learning with practical experience to offer a holistic education in urban ministry. The
scheme aims to raise up people from diverse backgrounds to play a valuable mlnistry role In urban
churches and communities across London and beyond.
Tralnlng our staff
In the autumn of 2020, LCM put a comprehensive training programme in place to support field staff
as they started thelr new roles mobilisin8 churches to share the Bospel with the least reached In
London.
LCM continued it5 programmes of training young adults Icity Vision), providin8 year-long
opportunitie5 for mSs5ion Icity Challenge) and opportunltles for people experlenced in ministry and
mission, who want to help grow and support gospel outreach in London, serying for a period of 1-2
years Iurban Trackl. These programmes finlshed earlier than planned in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Wlth the changes lo the field, these pro8rammes have been put on hold for 2020121 while fSeld staff
settle into their new roles.
2F. PLANS FOR FUTURE YEARS- MINISTRY
2020 was a year of global tragedy as the impact of coronavirus was felt right across the world. It was
also a year of enforced change as church buildings shut and many of us had to work from home. Thls
has resulted in a new paradigm for work, church and mission. London's communities and churches
have all been Impacted by loss and change.
2020 was also the year LCM implemented its refreshed approach to ministry to align the way we
operate io better support our vision to work alongside churches to reach more of the three milllon
people in London who are least likely to know a Chrlstlan to introduce them to the good news of jesus
Christ or to invite them to church. The field roles were revised and the ministrie5 we were involved in
changed.
In all of this, LCM has been able to Bet alongside churche5 and pray with local leaders for their
communitie5. Mi55ionarie5 have been able to equip con8regatlons, mlnlsterinE alongslde them a5 they
seek to respond to both the health and economic crises of the pandemic and reach out to the people
who are lea51 likely to be reached with the gospel in their areas. And, by God's grace, we have seen
people come to faith in Jesus Chrlst.
In 2021 LCM began a project to review its processes, system5 and structures of office-based teams to
better support field staff in their roles, Improve the way we work, and continue to align the Mission
with our vislon, goals and value5.
We recognise that to reach the three million people in London who are least Ilkely to hear the good
news of Jesus, we need to be working alongside even more churches. We want to provide B￿ater
opportunities for churches to partner with LCM in this vital task- for example, in establishing ministry
on the ground, being equipped for mission, providing financial contributlons or praying alongside us.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
There are thousands of churches right across London, and hundreds of thousands of Bible-believing
Christians. With the right motivation, tralnlng and support, each of them can effectively share the
gospel with the least reached people of London.
By God's grace, we want to be able to share the insights, experiences and learnlngs we have gained,
and continue to 8ain, over decades of ministry in London's lèast reached communities.

learnlng from praciltioners in other organisatlons and churches as we seek to grow together
2G. FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
In previous years, Mlssion centres were built by LCM In areas where there was not an evangellcal
church. As churches have sprung up across London, the mission now holds a limited number of
propertie5 we no longer need for ministry. As a result of this we are either responslbly dlsposlng of
those properties commercially or partnerin8 Wlth a church all8ned with our vision and values, which
is seekln8 to benefit from the space. Thls Is releasing funds that can be then used to support vital
gospel mlnistry,
The properties we no lon8er use are generalty recognised as Investment propertles in our accounts.
Steadlly disposing of these propertle5 means LCM can spend more than It recelves In donated income
for a limited time. This is sustainable only while we invest in engaging with the wider evangelical
church In supporting mission to those one lft three people in London otherwise unlikely to hear the
good news of Jesus during their IlfetSme.
In line wlth thls careful approach to financlal management, the LCM Board agreed a revlsed flnanclal
sustainability objective in January 2021 to cover the next 10 years. The Mission Intends to..
"Steadily reduce Exce55 Investments and the Annual Cash Shortfall to
approximately Nil by the mid-2030's"
Excess investments are reBarded to be the total of all investments, includlng propertie5 no longer
needed for ministry, less the reserves needed for the financial stability of the M i55ion. LCM intends
to invest these fund5 in direct ministry, leading to an annual cash shortfall, made up of an operatin8
deficit and new ministry assets.
The level of operatlng deficit will be finalised through the annual financial planning cycle each year
but the long-term plan has been set. Underlying this financial objective is the principle of stewarding
God's provision ILCM'S assets) to keep gospel ministry sustainable in the long term.
In the medium-term, this means The London City Misson can generate cash from surplu5 investment
properties and the development opportunities across its estate whilst in the 5hort-term debt 15
required to provide a liquidity buffer while transactions are in progress.
12

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The lon8-term flnanclal strategy requires an above inflation growth in donations18eneral or legacies)
to reduce the cash shortfall. In the meantime, the cash shortfall wlll be funded from the significant
sset values in The London City Misson's property resource5. This will enable operating costs to be
maintained at their current level. The partnership of prayer and giving from new and existing
supporters Is vltal to the ongoing sustainability of our work In sharing the gospel with those in London
yet to hear and is increasingly important.
The Benerosity of 5UPPOrters who provide for Bospel mlsslon in so many ways
gifts, grants,
fundraising and le8acies- are incredlbly Important to LCM This was reflected in the appointment of a
Director of FundraSslng & Supporter Partnerships in 2020, who reports Into the Finance sub-
committee.
The trustees through the Property & Finance sub-committees oversee the dSsposal of propertie5 and
assesses the asset values. This assessment is made largely from tenders but also on market feedback,
professional advice, formal opinlons received from local authority plannin8 departments through the
pre-appllcation proces5 ar)d the potential for urban mlssion led by LCM and its partners in developed
sites. LCM'5 clear objective is to Steward the resources provided by God, so that the good news of
Jesus can continue to be shared In London for the foreseeable future.
In conclusion, we pray that over the next few years, as we continue to faithfully take the good news
out onto the streets and into the homes of those people least likely to hear about Jesus Chrlst, the
Mission will engage with even more churches across the city, envisionin8 and equlpping them.
Together, more workers will be raised up for the haNest and the 8Q5pel can be effectively shared
wlth even more people.

Fundraising and Supporter Partnershlps
Sharing our hope in Christ with the estimated one in three people in London least likely to hear the
good news would not be possible wlthout faithful gospel partners who generously enable misslon in
London throu8h their 8ivin8 and prayers. We are hugely grateful for every supporter who partners
wlth us an(J we praise God and thank our supporters for the changed lives we are prlvileged to witness
as a result. As our staff directly engage In mission, our sUPPOrters are a vltal part of the team alongside
us as they pray, give and volunteer, and we deeply value every partnership we have.
We are grateful for God's provision through the faithfulness of those 8ospel partners, who stood with
us during a difficult year for many, to share the gospel with those in London yet to hear. Donation
income in 2020 totalled £2.36m, a decrease of £0.09m from the year before. Through the great
kindness of those speclal supporters who remembered gospel misslon In thelr will, our legacy income
was £1.2m (down from £1.6m in 20191.
We thank God for provlding for mission in London through a global pandemlc, both from faithful lon8-

38. FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the year
The total income figure is E5.8m compared wlth £7.4m in 2019. Donation income decreased by le5S
than £O.Im to £2.4m In 20201É2.4m in 20191. The legacy income of £1.2m in 20201£1.6m in 20191
was in line with the long-term average and reflerts the reduced capacity of probate offices. Rental,
Investment and tradin8 income of £1.4m fell l£1.7m in 20191 largely from the closure of Cafés and as
underused propertles were sold. LCM received £0.2m in new government grants from the Furlough
scheme ICJRSI for the first time in 2020. Flnally, the 8ain on disposal of operational properties sold
during the year was significantly lower at £0.8m (compared with El.5m in 20191. To sustain LCM'S
mlnistry in the long run, these gains are largely invested in replacement propertles for staff working
in London.
Total expenditure of £9.9m in 2020 (compared with £10.5m in 20191 returned to normal levels
followlng the costs to identify the potential value in LCM'S properties I£0.2ml in 2020. A5 planned,
thls resulted in an operating deficlt of £4.Om in 2020, compared to £3.Im in 2019. LCM has planned
for operatlng deflclts and thelr related annual cash shoTtfalls, funded by the reduction In excess
Investments mostly properties, to contlnue.
During 2020 LCM reached agreement on the development of two other properties, an existlng
investment property and an operational property. In addition, LCM received offers on other
operational properties.
These operational propertles now meet the criteria to be classified as
investment properties and therefore have been revalued to market value. The revaluation of
properties provided an unrealised gain of £3.7m whilst the value of all investments increased by £3.5m
Icompared to £9.8m In 20191. Slmilar investment property gains are expected as further contracts are
flnalised and planning permission granted.
In 2020, the Deflned Beneflt Pension scheme reported an actuarlal loss of £O.Im compared to a loss
of £0.4m in 2019.
All these factors combine to a small fall In funds available durlng the year of £0.6m, made up of an
operating deficit1£4.Oml and actuarial loss I£O.Iml, offset by property & investment gains1£3.5ml.
Meanwhile, LCM'S cash balances have increased to £0,7m.
Property
Over many decades, through the gener051ty of supporters, the Lord has provided LCM with properties
for use in serving the gospel. Some of these are used to house current and retired missionaries, others
are used as bases for mi5sional activity, some are venues for churches, and some provide a rental or
investment intome which is invested in ministry across London.
15

REPORT OF THE DIREcfoRS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
In 2020, two new propertles were purchased for missionaries. whllst four underused residential
properties and two centres no longer directly used for LCM ministry were sold to fund the planned
cash shortfall.
In 2020, over 20 propertie5 generated a wide range of offers to purchase and / or develop these sites
for LCM. Negotiations have continued throu8hout the yèar and where necessary sites have been re-
marketed. The overall value of offers has not materially changed since they were first marketed. This
programme is part of LCM 5tewardin8 the resources that God has provided as welook to steadilv
reduce excess Investments.
Starting In late 2021, the Ministry review will require the sale of approximately 20 residential
properiles which will be replaced with nearly 20 new properties. This is a significant change for LCM
which will take several years to fully Implement. Meanwhile the sale of investment properties and
development rights will continue. We expect to retaln new centre space at nearly half of these
development5 either rented out as investments or used for direct ministry.
LCM'S intentional approach is to operate with a steadlly reduclng deficit, whlch results in an annual
cash shortfall. Supported by careful stewardship of our assets, reducinB the emphasis on propertv
assels over Ilme. Thls will provide for investment In mlnistry for a finite perlod. The success of thls
plan, which will See a gradual reduction in the operatlng deficit, is only possible alongside o consistent
level of funding from le8acies and an above inflatlon growth in gerberal donatlons, arisln8 both from
LCM'S faithful supporters and an expanslon of the supporter base.
Inve5tfflents
The value of LCM'S investment portfolio was unchanged in 2020 at £32.4m.
The Board agreed to designate £19.5m of investments Into a new Ministry Sustalnabllity fund to better
reflect the lon8-term financial sustair)ability objective. The trustees antlcipate using future investment
gains in the medlum term to elther fund minlstry In the year they are recognised or to designate them
to this fund.
Reserves and debt pollcy
General reserves at the end of 2020 were £8.3m before provision for the pension deflclt of <£O.Im
(compared to £9.8m before provision for the pension deficlt of £0.3m at the end of 20191. Under the
rlsk a(ljusted general reSe￿e policy, the Board revlewed the target in 2020 and decided to keep It
unchanged at between £4.5m and £5.5m. The trustees expect the 2021 & 2022 cash shortfa115 to
reduce general reserves to the target range. They intend to designate any other exces5 to the Mlnlstry
Sustainability Fund in line with the long-term financial sustainability objective.
The Board ha5 authorised the raising of up to £IOm of debt to secure funding for the planned cash
shortfall. It expects any debt to be paid back from planned asset disposals no later than the end of
2028. LCM has arranged a £2m facility of operatlon31 debt secured against 3 properties of which £lm
was drawn in 2020 and another £lm in early 2021. Additional facilities will be sought in 2021. Debt
facilities have the effect of significantly improving the liquSdity of the asset base and therefore the
general reserve.
Penslon provlslon
The Defined Benefit scheme closed to all new and existing employees in 2006. In 2020, LCM provided
funds of £0.6m to the scheme to meet long-term liabilities. There is a potential cost of extinguishing
the pension deficit and the Board has designated £3.5m1£5.Im in 20191 to cover this risk. In 2021,

the trustees are seeking advisers to obtain quotations from the market for a bulk annuity purchase.
No quotations have been received or purchase contracts entered Into at this time.
Cash and Golng Concern
LCM continue5 to hold enough cash to cover month-to-month expenses for the foreseeable future.
From time to time LCM can use funds held as equities and has a debt facility in place. In 2021, LCM
expects to extend this facilityand seek mortgage offers on new property purchases to provide liquidity.
In addition, the sales of underused properties and development rights are expected to provide more
than £2m in 2021 and up to £20m over the next couple of years to fund the planned operating deficit.
At the end of 2020, £3m of these receipts were under contracts that are subject to receiving planning
permission.
The emer8ence of coronavlrus in early 2020 had a slgnlflcant impact on the UK and LCM. Financiallv,
the most significant impact was the delay to the legal process of selling properties. Equity
investments, which are held wlth the expectation of longer-term growth, fell significantly but have
since recovered. We are maklng use of government support Includlng the Job protection scheme
where it has not been possible to continue existin8 mlnSstries. In additlon, we have released funds for
the relief of the needy.
LCM received significant gifts in Immediate response to the coronavlrus pandemlc from our supporters
with a limited fall In total donation income durlng 2020 compared to 2019. Once the full economic
Impact of the pandemic is reallsed, the need for the Mlsslon to work amongst the least reached of
London is expected to increase. We expect to be able to partner with the church In London, our
existlng and new supporters in thls growln8 mlnistry need.
The Board of trustee5 confirms that, In its view, there are sufficient liquid assets wlthin LCM for it to
be consldered a goln8 concern desplte the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Retlrement houslng
LCM contlnues to provide retirement hou51ng for those missionaries who, by 2012, had achSeved
20 year5, service with the Mission. Whlle we no longer offer this to more recently employed
m1555onaries, the support of current retirees remalns an Important functlon of our property team'5
workload.
Chrlstlan Cenlre developments and dlsposals
Following the marketing of over 20 properties in 2020 and the Identlflcatlon of potential development
partners- two properties have been sold, three are under contract , six are under offer, a further ten
have attracted offers in line with expectations and two more are being actively considered for
development. We are committed to realising the value in these sites for missional purposes In the
medium to long-term.
Each project will fall into one of the followlng groups:
Disposal to reallse value
Dispose to a church or church partner
Develop for a church partner
Development for LCM ministry
Thi5 gain is a result of God's provision over decades and will take several years to be converted into
cash. The contlnued and growing financial support from our existin8 and new supporters will ensure

that these gains support the work of the Mission into the middle of the 2030's and not just for a few
vears.
3C. COMPLIANCE
Statement on Fundralslng
The London City Mission greatly values the support it receives in so many ways from so many different
people and organisations- we could not fulfil our objectives without the financial and prayer support
that we receive from you each year. Supporters are vital partners in this ministry, so we seek to be
grateful, respectful, and relatitsnal in all our interactions.
Durlng 2020 the fundraising team was restructured wlth the purpose of keeping gospel mlnislry to the
least reached sustainable by seeking to develop more Bospel partnerships, growing donation income
by an additional £lm from 2019 levels by 2024. Thls resulted In several new role5 whlch were all
recruited to by mid-2021 at whlch point the new fundralsing strategy will start to be fullv
implemented.
We prioritise thanklng donors as soon as posslble and seek to communlcole the Impact of donations
to supporter5 through our letters, magazines, e-new51etters, and bespoke publications. We build trust
with supporters by being honest and transparent in our communications. Indivlduals must opt in to
receive communlcatlons from LCM unless they reasonably meet the crlterla of legltimate inteTest,
where there 15 clear evidence of their recent interest in our work. We provide opportunities for
individuals to opt out from any of our communlcations in clear and easy ways. Our records show that
we received no complalnts about our fundraising from supporters or members of ihe public in 2020.
We did not use commerclal fundraisers in 2020- all our fundraising was carrled out by LCM employees
who sign up to our Statement of Faith and Conduct and seek to adhere to the Fundralsing Promise.
We occaslonally use the seNice5 of trusted external consultants who align with our charitable

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR5
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
3D. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Durin8 2020, the Board gave attention to multiple risks related to all operations, and in particular
those with a high level of risk or related to the pandemic. This risk register is regularly reviewed and
updated. Below are the key risk5 identified in 2020 and how LCM Is managing them.
Flnancial rlsks
Growlng funding and income
Our heart is to work alon851de the local church to see everyone in London given the opportunity to
respond to the gospel during their lifetime. To begin to achieve this, we need people who will stand
with us in prayer and giving to keep this vital minlstry 5UStalnable. For our current plans to succeed,
we require investment In identifying and welcoming new sUPPOrters, Increased generosity from
existing supporters and the successful sale of investment propertles no longer required for operational
mlnistry. Clear communication of the need for increased financial support is crucial.
A new fundraising strategy was set out In 2020, wlth new roles establlshed and filled in early 202 1 to
support this strategy and Identlfy growth opportunitie5. In particular, thSs strate8y Is focused on
developing new gospel partnership5 Wlth evangelical Christians.
There15 a risk that If there was a long-term downturn In the London property market, the recelpts
from sales of our properties would be adversely affected, as would the tlming of those sales. The
spread of the disposal programme and the use of agents to monltor the market and adjust priorities
accordingly reduces the r15k of material changes to the overall income.
Flnanclal controls around the use of LCM'S assets
Various measures are in place to mitigale the rlsk of accidental mSsuse of LCM assets, such as the use
of phased budgets, segregation of duties, dual authorisation for cheque and BACS payments, receipts
policy for 85ft5, daily banking and reconciliations. Controls are re8ularly revlewed wlth additional
controls belng consldered a5 required or advised.
Peo
le-rel ted rlsks
Collaborat5ve & effectlve workln8
The leadershlp team of LCM is seekinB to encourage greater cross-functional and collaborative
working both from within the leadership team and throughout the or8anisatlon. We are working on
establishing multi-disciplinary forums to share informatlon, develop mode15 of ministry to least
reached communities, and ideas to improve the way we engage with churches.
In 2021 we started projects to fully Integrate our databases and to review our support processes,
SyStem5 and structures to better Support field staff as they engage with and mobillse churches for
mi55ion to the least reached communities. In addition, there are occasiona5 leadership team review
sesslons, away days and opportunities for the Board of Trustees to ask questions and challenge the
leadership team.
To encourage more effectwe working, we are providing greater role clarity across the organlsation

objectives. There is 3150 an agreed Decision Matrix in place re8ardin8 key decisions rese￿ed for the
Board, Sub Committee5 and Leadership Team.
Health & wellbeing of staff
Therels a risk that staff rely too much on their own strength rather than on God. To help avold this,
there are lots of opportunities to pray as part of LCM, whether in project or functional team5, weekly
whole-organisation prayer times, weekly leadership team prayer meetlngs, monthly whole-
organisation team days and the annual week of prayer at the start of the year.
As an orBanisation driven by a passion for reaching the lost, there is a risk of burnout of staff if LCM
takes on more actlvlty than It has capacity for. Thls could lead to an increase in staff sickness and
turnover, a reduction in stoff engagement, wellbeing and organisational performance. A worklng
group was established in 2021 to assess employee wellbeing and consider how this can be protected
and developed.
Safety of staff, bulldln8s & contacts
One of our values Is chrlst.like love. Accordln8ly, we want to make sure that our staff, buildinES and
contacts are all safe. Risk assessments for ministry activities are in place and a￿ reviewed ahead of
In-person activlties re-startlng following the coronavirus pondemic. Personal safety and safeguarding
policles and training ore in place. Guidelines are set for mlnlmum staffinB levels, and staff rotatlons
re in operation to minimlse risk of stress. An emergency response policy is also in place.
Values embedded wlthln the organlsatlon.
To ensure that the culture of LCM Is well aligned with its values, they are incorporated into Job
Descriptlon5, the onboarding process of new staff, and feature In the sermons In regular oll staff
meetings. A prayerful culture of humlllty underpins the effective Smplementation of the strategy and
Impacts on the performance of individuols and the whole organisation. Prayer is prioritised
throughout the mis51on with the first week of every year devoted to prayer and blblical reflection.

statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
28

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON CITY MISSION
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Broup and parent
charitable company'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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternatlve but to do 50.
Audltor's responslbllltles 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 m155tatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's report
that Includes our oplnlon. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material m5sstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can ar15e from fraud or error and are considered materi31 if, individually or in
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements,
Irregularlties, Including fraud, are Instances of non-compliance wlth laws and regulations. We desl8n
procedures in line with our responsibilitie5, Outllned above, to detect material m155tatements In
respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8
irregularities, Including fraud is detailed below.
Explanatlon as to what extent the audlt was consldered capable of detectln8 irregularltles, Includln8
fraud
The oblectlves of our audlt In respect of fraud, are- to identify and as5es5 the rlsks of material
mlsstatement of the financiol statements due to fraud,. to obtaln sufficient approprlate audit evldence
regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and
implementin8 approprlate responses to those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately to
instances of fraud or Suspected fraud Identlfled during the audlt. However, the primary responsibllltv
for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both mana8ement and those charged wlth
governance of the charltable company,
Our approach was as follows:
We obtalned an understandln8 of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the
charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the
Charlties Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK flnancial reporting Standards as issued by the
Financial Reporting Councll
We obtained an understanding of how the charltable company complles with these
requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We a55es5ed the risk of materlal mlsstaiement of the financial statements, Including the risk
of material mi55tatement due to fraud and how it mlght occur, by holdir)g discussions with
management and those char8ed with Eovernance.
We inqulred of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances
of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
29

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LONDON CITY MISSION
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of
management and those charged with sovernance and obtaining additional corroborative
evldence as requlred.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professlonal scepticism throughout ihe audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material mi55tatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a materlal misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
res¢Jlting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery* iritentional omlssions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtaln an understanding of internal control relevant to the audlt in order to deslgn audit
procedures that are appropriate in the clrcumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing
an opinlon on the effectivene55 of the group and parent charitable company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablene55 of
accountlng estlmates and related d15closures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the approprlateness of the tru5tees' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audlt evldence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exlsts related to
events or conditions that may cast Sl8nificant doubt on the group and parent charitable
company's ability to continue as a 8olng concern, If we conclude that a materlal uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attentlon in our auditor'5 report to the related dlsclosures In
the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evldence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report.
However, future events or condltions may cause the 8roup or parent charltable company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financlal statement5, Including
the disclosures, and whether the flnancial statements represent the underlyin8 transactions
and events In a manner that achleves falr presentation.
Obtain sufficient approprlate audlt evidence reBardin8 the financlal Information of the entitles
or bu5ine55 activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
Statements. We are responslble for the direction, 5uperv15i0n and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely re5pon5ible for our audit report.
We communicate with those charged with governance re8ardinB, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audlt flndlngs, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
