LETTER FROM THE CEO & CHAIRMAN As we reflect on theyear. we are grateful forthe Lords loving hand of 8race in the midst of profound pra¢tl¢al and splrStual need ihrou8hout London. Today we See the e¢onomlc Impart of both the pandem1¢ and Blgbal conflic( hbttln8 those alreadv Struggllng the most. Thousand5 of people dlsplaced from their home5 are now Ilvlng In our city. People are 5ufferlng and wlthout hope. Whlle London Is ever changlng and we adapt our mlnlstries to meet those needs, people's need for ihe gospel remaln5 the same. In London, most of the communltles In 8reatest are a150 those dls¢onnected from thelr local church and unlikety to ever hear about the eternal loy they can freely recelve through repentance and falth In jesu5 Chr15t. By God'$ 8ra¢e, In the face of a famlne of thè word of God, The London Cllv MIs51on exists to see the118ht of the 805pel shlne Into the darkness of London.

We walk alongslde local thurches, followlng In the footsteps of jesus In seekln8 to serve those In the m05t marglnallsed communltles vtho are the least Ilkely to have a Chrlstlan frlend to share thelr falth and Invlte them to ¢hur¢h.

Please conUnue to stand wlth us In prayer and 81ve, as we reach out to people In thls great clty. For us, It has been a year of dlllgently rebullding many of our teams followin8 a restruciure In 2020, and a yearof layln8 the foundations of our strategy to Increasln6ly work closety wlth the local church In London. In some ways there Is perhaps less to say about th15 year than others but the work that has been done will be the bedrock of our future Impact, as Initial dats from our flrst church pbrtnershlps encouraglngly shows. The key appolntments of Rev Drjason Roach as our Dlrector of Mlnlstries, and tsrl Kni8htty a5 our Dlrector ot Church Networks, are vltal In provkllng the le8dershlp we need to brlng our strategy to Ilfe. By God'$ 8rate we are perseverin8 well, not because of our great strength, bul because we have a great hope Sn Chri5tJe5us.

REPORT OF THF. DIRECIORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMeER 2021 Z. STRATEGIC REPOR T ZA. PURPOSE & IMPACT The London City Mlsslon ILCMI has a vlslon to see jesus Chrlst known In every Community In London. However, one In thrèe people In London are UnlIke to have a Chrlstlan frlend. Ourln8 thelr Ilfetlme, they are unllkely to be Irwlted to church or to hèar the best news ever- the lrfe-8lvlr8 8ospel of Jesus. Thls15 a tra8edy. What Is even more heart breakln815 that many of these people Ie In the most deprlved areas of London or are marglna115ed In some way. Jesus rejected the cultural norms of HIS tlme to embrace people society had pushed to the mar8lns, and ihrou8h HIS mlnlstry. Gods heart for tlwse In need Is dlsplayed for all to see. So, we want to reach w•ryon• In communltles least Ilkely to hearthe Bospel. Everyone Ihnon estates, every older person, everyone from other rell6lou5 ba¢k8rounds, everyone whols homekss and on the marglns ofsoclety, and every youno person. At LCM, we partner wh churches who share ? vlslon to see w•ryon• In London personally In¥lt•d to follow Jesus Chrlst. God calls us all to share the hope of Chrlst. Ifs a blg but It can be donel So, we are equlppln8 ILKal churches to step out In lah, bulld conne¢tltsns wlth the communltles around them and lovlngly $hare the amazln8 new5 of the 8ra¢e found In Jesus Chrlst. B•e•ug• London n••ds J•MMI work0 as a catatyst alon851de the Church, together, by Gods grace, our vlslon is to bulld up more people In evan8ellstl¢ 0re0ch, so that many more people and communltle5 wlthout a Chrt5tlan wltness In London can hearthe Ilfe-8lvln8 8ood news of Jesus Chrlst. This kind of urban mlnlstry Involve5 working In partnershlp wlth thurches to follow Chrlsys example In developin8 respectful and carlng relatlonshlp5 wlth people from all klnd5 of backgrounds. as 8ood news, hope, and practical love 15 9h¥rèd. Many ol those people we come alongslde may struggle wlth e¢onoml¢, relatlonal, physkal, soclal, family or personal troubles. Durin8 ihe tsll end of the pandemlc of 2021, LCM ¢ontinued to persevere in a challenBinB hybrid environrnent, wlth somè parts of society openln8 up and other5 still flrmly d05ed and churche5 everywheregrapplin6 wlth thls new thallenge. For us, this also colnclded with o new way of partnerlng with churches.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Our heart is to See God releasing the potential of local ¢hurche$ to share the gospel wlth those around them, particularty thosè on thè mar8ins- and to see churches, wherever they are, 8row and flourtsh as a result. In the area5 of london least reached by tht gospel, otsr misslonarles work closety with local ¢hurthts, equlpplng them to bulld brld8es Into communbtles, share the 805pel and wel¢ome new belle¥ers Into the church famllv. In 2021 our missionaries ¢ame alongslde 271 churches in 2021 which are located In our prlorlty areas. These churches represent approximatety 5% ¢f the evangellcal church In London. We build relatlonships, understand thé visitsn of the thurch foroutreach, and explore how LCM can provlde the tools to help them realise it. Prayer is always foundatitsnal to our relatlonships and prayln8 wlth a church for the losl In their local area Is the startln8 place for any outreath. Of these, 53 churches began actlvety d15ternln8 how LCM could partner wlth them; thls could Involve outreach pilots to begln to share the good news of jesu5 wlth local ¢ommunltles In new ways. dlscu5sing proposals for how exlstln8 mlnlstrles (such aslood banks, youth 8roups or5enlors club51 could bE enrlchEd wlth a deeper gospel locus, or how the church as a whole Could be encoura8ed Into Intentlonalty bulldin8 brid8e5 Into communitie5 where Jesus Chrlst Isn't yet known. Of these, to date, 9 churches have foimed new partnershlps wSth LCM, resuitln8 In more everydav Chrlstlans taklng part In actlvltle5 to See the powerful mess•8e of the gospel reach those communltles where people are unllkely to have a Chrlstlan frlend. We are exclted to see churches grow Into evan8ellsm and many Chrlstlans Increase thtlr confldence In slepplng out to bulld trustln8 relatlonshlps where they can share wlth others of God's8race In Jesus. We are dellghted to have 4 minlstries that we are currentty handlng ovef to be contlnued by k*cal Churches. LCM has a long history of stsrtlng and handln8 over Innovatlve mlnlstrles that see the hope of Chrfst continue to be shared wlth those othenvlse unllkely to hear. Wt remaln mlndlul that for those who have poured their Ilve5 Into e5tablishin8 a mlnlstry, It can be a wrench to let 80. Flowever palnful, we are dèli8hted that God uses vs Ilke thls; ploneerlng new ministries can be dauntln8 task that takes more experfence and re50urcès than stepplng Into a model whlch is set up and fiourlshln8. Thls then enables us to use the Ilmlted resources wt have to Innovate new mlnlstry elsewhere. In 2021 around 1.5 mllllon people vlewed some of our Idea-8eneratln8 content at varyln8 levels. Thb5 would Include v1511or5 to our webslte. people vlewing content on 50clal ffledia, hearln8 LCM speakers at conference5 and churches, readln8artlcles written by LCM staff In the Chrlstian medla a5 well as those who have recelved prlnted resources or attended our tralnln8 cour5t5. At every step we seek to connecL Insplre and en¢oura8e people, bellevers or Mt. wlth the lrfe4hanBlnB truth about Jesus Christ.

A5 the economlc Impart of the pandemlc hlts In the aftermath, IVS those PEople In lower pald lobs, wlth less lob securfty. who 8Te Impacted the hardest. These people are a150 often from communltle5 In London where jesu5 Chrlst Is not known. A5 the lockdown unfolded, The London Clty Mlsslon ¢ontlnued to work wlth churches to share the hope that is found In jesus Chrlst wlth those least Ilkely to hear it. Our octlvitles adapted and changed again a5 parts of 50clety opened up, but the des1 and urBency to share the 8ospel remained as steadfast as ever. Church 5peakln8 en8a8ements contlnued vla Zoom and In person, enèblln8 mlsslonades to connect wlth our supporter base, a Val source of praytr and encouragement for mlnlstry. The new hybrld environment, wilh many seryl¢es belng both onllne and In person, was challen8ln8 for chur¢hts and the number ot speaklng engagement5 In 2021 reduced as 3 result. We were also aware wbth Sadness that some of the smaller long lem) supporter churches have not survlved the pandeml¢. We ¢ontlnue to trust In God's promlse to build his church. "I will bulld my churth. and the gates ol Hades will not overcome it., Matthew 16'.18b INIVI As misslonaries worked even more doselywlth the church in London, thry were able to support more churches to pray and share the 805pel in word and deed with the people in their communltie5 who were unliketyto otherwise hear It, at a tlme when the demands on manythurch lèaders had drastlcally Increased with the reallties of the pandemlc.

Mln15try r•vie •nd str•i•irf In ear 2019, the Board of Trustees (Trustees) of LCM approved a new five-year strategy. Pralse God far thè 21,0 pèople who heard the gospel, often for the flrst tlme frorn an LCM Mlsslonary In the prevlous five years, alon6 wlth the many who responded by God's grace. However, that left one In three people In London unllkely to have anyone to tell them the Bood news- 3 totsl 013 mllllon peoplel In London, that mean5 we estimate one person every 30 mlnutes polentlally passes Into eternlty wlthout ever hearlng about Ihe hope found In Jesus Chrlst- we ur8ently need to do much more to raise up more Workers lor the horyest. 'The harvest is plentiful but the WOTker5 are few. Ask the Lord DI the harvest. therefore, to send out workers Into His harvest.- Matthew 9'.37b-38 There are thousand5 of evan8elkal churches rt8ht across London, and hundreds of thousands of Blblfr bellevlng Chilstlans. Wrth the rl8ht motfvatlon, tralnlng and supporL many of them can effedlvelv share the gospel wlth the least reached people of London. Followln8 a year-lonB mlnlsiry revlew. we made sl8nlflcant change5 In 2020, both to the role of our mlsslonarles and to the way we work wlth churche5. For example, mlsslonarles who were worklng wlthin one church have shlfted thelr focus to work wlth a range of churches In thelr area. LCM reco8nlses that these changes. whllst a posltbve step for seelng more people In London reathed wlth the gospel, could be dlfflcult for some individual mlslonarles who may not feel called to church moblllsatlon work. The Mlsslon Is grateful for the 8ra¢e and perseverance shown by mlsslon staff throu8h thi5 Ilffle. LCM is olways commltted to supportlnB the callln8 of God on any misslonary's Ilfe and provlded a redundancy packa8e for those who dldn'l feel ¢alled to 80 forward wlth the chan6es. A numberof mls5k>narlp5 took the opportunlty of voluntary fedundancyto pursue mlnlstry elsewhere, the oVehelmIng malorlty leavln8 as ffirm frlend5 of the Mission. LCM has been recrult4ng new Ml551onarles and Team Leaders slnce the start of 2021. We thank God that 26 8lfted and experlenced gospel workers Jolned us In 2021 wlth recruitment of several more Undeay. Please pray for them as they seek to ralse the prayer and financlal support needed to enable flourishing ministries amongst people least liketyto have heard olthe Ilfe-chan8in8 truth about Jesus Christ.

Thls continues as our heartbeat as we constantly adapt to London's ever-changlng landscape. Sendlni nslonarfs We send out mlssionarles, called, grfted and tralned In urban misslon, to work alongside London's churches to share ihe 8ospel wlth those communltles where Jesus Chr15t1s not wldely known.

As ¢hur¢hes have sprung up across London, the mlsslon now holds a number of these centres that it no longer use5.

The lon8.term str*e8y wlll requlre an above Inflatlon growth In donatlons and legacles to reduce the cash shortfall. In the meantlme, the cash shortfall wlll befunded from the sale of propertles no longer requlred to support the outreach mlnlstrles of LCM.

The Trustees of LCM, through the Property & Flnante sub-commlttees, oversee the dlsposal of propertles and ensure the value and tlmln8 of these dlsposals, alon8 Wlth any financlal assumptlons are reasonable. LCM'S clear oblectlve Is to steward the resources provlded by God so that the 8ood news of le5115 can cOnnut to be shared In London for the loreseeable future. 2H.

The extent to whlch our procedvres are capable of detectln8 ITre8ularltles, Includlng fraud15 detailed below. The objectlve5 of our audlt In re5pe¢t of Iraud, are.. to Identlfy and assess the rlsks of materlal mlsststement of ihe Ilnancial statements due to fraud,. to obtain 5ufflclent approprlate audlt evldence re8ardin8 the as5e5sed rlsks of materlal m155tatement due to fraud, through de5ignin8 and Implementlng approprlate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to Instances of fraud or suspected fraud Identllled durlng the audlt. However, the prlmary responslblllty for the preventlon and detectlon of fraud rests wlth both management and those ¢har8ed wlth governance of the charftable ¢ompany. Our èpproach was as follows: We obtalned an understandlng of the legal and regulatory requlrements appllcable to the charltable company and consldered that the most $18nbll¢ant are the Companlès Act 2006, the Charltles Act 2011, the Charlty SOAP, and UK flnanclal reportlng standards as L5sued by the Flnancial Reportin8 Council We obtalned an vnderstanding of how thè charltable compary complles wlth these requlrements by dlscus51ons wlth mana8emenl and those charged with 81)vernan¢e.

Thls Included maklng enqulrles of mana8ement and those charged with 8overnance and obtainin8 additional corroboratlve evidence as requlred. There are Inherent Ilmltstlons In the audlt procedures de5crlbed above. We are less Ilkety to become awère of instances of non-compllan¢e wlth laws and regulatlons that are not tlosely related to events and transactlons reflected In the flnanclal staternents. Also, the risk of not dete¢tin8 a materlal misstatement due to fraud Is hl8her than the rlsk of not detectlng one resultlng from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, foT8ery or intentlonal mi5rewesentations, or throu8h collusion. 38
