Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Structure, Governance and Management
The Trust is registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, number 270794. It is constituted under a trust deed dated 1st October 1975 and deed of variation dated 21st September 1977. It raises funds through advertising and appealing to its database of donors. No investments are undertaken.
The trustees meet annually to agree the criteria for grant decisions and to ensure compliance with objects, while the day-to-day administration of grants is delegated to two trustees. They are supported by six other volunteers who contribute by:
-
Writing and sending out appeals
-
Inputting donations into the database
-
Managing social media and the website
-
Public relations
Methods to Recruit and Appoint Trustees
Trustees are chosen on the basis of their professional skill and experience and according to the needs of the charity. In the event of a vacancy or if a need for a Trustee is identified, the Charity would first consider a possible candidate from among its volunteers. If needed, it would then broaden its search to wider contacts and via the Catholic Chaplaincies at UK universities. Finally, applicants could be sought through regular inserts in the Catholic press.
The trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid during the year.
Risk Management
The trustees have considered the risks to which the charity is exposed and have adopted procedures to protect against them.
As the Trust issues grants with existing available funds and has no ongoing financial commitments, the greatest identified risk is the misdirection or misuse of a grant. The trustees manage this risk by requiring applicants to provide a letter of endorsement from their local bishop and for issued grants to go via diocesan accounts or that of the religious order where possible. This significantly reduces the opportunity for fraud and provides a degree of oversight for each project. A completion report including photos of the work in progress is an important requirement for every project.
All bank transfers require dual bank authorisation.
Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit
The charity’s object is the advancement of religion by supporting and assisting the missionary work of the Catholic Church. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust’s aims and objectives and in setting the grant -making policy for the year.
The Trust carries out this object by providing grants for small practical capital projects which are identified and requested by members of the missionary church in developing countries. In addition, the Trust provides emergency grants following local and widespread disasters, such as famine or flooding, in response to applications from missionary church members.

Trustees’ Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Grant Making Policy
There was a major shift in SPICMA’s grant making policy in 2020. In the early part of the year, the Charity followed its traditional approach of funding small capital projects. However from April, as the dramatic and devastating effects of lockdown from coronavirus became evident in large parts of the developing world, all non-urgent grants were halted and attention switched to funding food aid and personal protective equipment. Requests were assessed in a matter of days and funds sent immediately upon approval. It was in September that SPICMA began to end emergency lockdown support in the belief that the larger charities were then better positioned to provide this type of help to dioceses, parishes and health centres.
Achievements
SPICMA issued more grants in 2020 than in any year since its founding. There were 177 individual grants totalling £537,270 (2019: 58 and £303,390). The majority of these were in response to hardship caused by the imposition of lockdowns triggered by the coronavirus. Many countries in the developing world have large populations reliant on a daily wage. No work translates into no pay and no food. Often, people turned to their churches for help and the parishes approached SPICMA in desperation. 127 urgent food/PPE grants were sent across 11 different countries, primarily India, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania.
For the year as a whole, the following chart illustrates the breakdown by country of grants (sterling value), both urgent and non-urgent:

Trustees’ Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Financial Review
The Charity’s work is funded entirely by individual, parish and trust donations and legacies. These are primarily in response to appeals made through the Catholic press and mailings to its database of existing donors. As an entirely voluntary charity, no wages are paid to anyone. All volunteers work out of their own homes, thus no office rent is incurred and overheads are kept to a minimum.
At the end of the year, £140,948 was held in cash and in short-term deposit accounts.
Over the period as a whole, the total of donations and legacies received was £306,672 (2019: £337,053). Grants amounted to £537,270 (2019: £303,390) and costs were £18,176 (2019: £19,741).
Reserves Policy
At the year end total funds were £173,229 (2019: £421,600). Of this, £163,580 (2019: £321,489) were unrestricted and £9,649 (2019: £100,111) were restricted. The Charity’s policy on reserves is to hold a minimum of £100,000 (including a working capital reserve of £25,000). This provides scope to respond to emergencies and other requests in an immediate and meaningful way while launching fundraising appeals to continue support and replenish spent reserves.
The higher level at the end of the year was due to a successful Christmas appeal to our database of donors.
Plans for Future Periods
The Charity will continue to focus its grants at parish level projects, supporting those where there is little chance of help from larger charities. It plans to launch four appeals to its donor database over the 12 month period. SPICMA also intends to advertise quarterly in at least three national publications over the course of the year. This will be in the form of printed advertising space, inserts and digital ads.
Charity’s Outlook as a Going Concern
Given the level of funds at year end and the policy to hold reserves, there are no concerns about the financial future of the charity. The absence of wages and office costs, together with a healthy and growing level of donations via standing orders, engender confidence in the charity’s future and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees 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). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare finan-cial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Special Projects in Christian Missionary Areas ('the Charity')
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity, the Charity’s members as a body and the Charity’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Emergency Fund
Funds reserved for urgent needs, primarily famine aid.
Water System Tumaini Health Centre
The grant was to install a water harvesting system at the health centre in Tanzania.
Mingana Hospital, Dem Rep of Congo
This remote hospital had been stripped of its items by a corrupt staff. The Missionaries of Africa, a religious order we have helped in the past, took it over and asked us for funding to replace mattresses, medicines and medical equipment, as well as to install solar power.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Coronavirus Lockdown, Various
With the imposition of lockdown, people in the poorest countries relying on a daily wage were caught without means to pay for food and often no official safety net to support them. SPICMA responded to more than 100 urgent requests from parishes and dioceses for food aid located in 11 different countries.
Victims of Flooding of Lake Albert, Uganda
Extreme flooding washed away villages, including possessions, homes and crops. 9,000 people were affected and we helped them to purchase food and medicines.
Water Plants, India
In 2017, SPICMA agreed to match fund new water plants in various poor villages and schools in Guntur Diocese. In this instance, Patibandla and Gundemeda villages were chosen as the “people who are living in these two places are experiencing health issues because of contaminated ground water”.
Tuition for John Julius, Uganda
John Julius was shot by cattle raiders when a young child. A Trustee has been solely funding his tuition costs for a few years.
Katimba Health Centre, Uganda
This health centre requested funds for four water tanks as part of a water harvesting system. Before the grant, they were forced to collect water from pools shared with animals, thus water-borne diseases were very common.
Toroma Boy’s School, Uganda
The state of the school was almost unusable and highly dangerous. We agreed to fund the refurbishment of the block, replacing the roof, windows, doors and installing a new water tank.
St Bonaventure School, Tanzania
This growing school was in need of a large water well to provide clean, safe water for the 140 members of the school community, as well as people from the surrounding villages. The well’s capacity is 150,000 litres, which should help them through the dry season.
Ugandan Travel
To help Fr Bernard Phelan, SPICMA's President, cover the costs of travel to Uganda where he was going to inspect some of the projects funded by SPICMA.
Kapalamula School Toilet Block
Kapalamula Primary School in rural Malawi was in desperate need of a new toilet block for girl students. This project was selected by one of our donors to fund in its entirety.
Transfers between funds
The transfers into the restricted funds represent the difference between income from the appeal and the grant to the beneficiary funded by the unrestricted general fund.
The transfers out of the Mingana Hospital and St Bonaventure School restricted funds represent funds spent in the prior year before the appeals were launched.
The transfer out of the Energency Fund relates to expenditure in the prior year which was allocated against unrestricted funds.
