United Beach Mission Trust

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

Structure, governance and management

United Beach Mission Trust is a charitable organisation (Registered Charity Number 273912). The Declaration of Trust dated 11th May 1978, amended on 6th March 2003, 15 June 2005 and 24 November 2007 governs the trust.

The original trust deeds and all amendments are held by the charity's old treasurer Mr Dave Johnson and will be passed on to Mr Alan Wells during the 2024/2025 reporting year. The trustees, together with the paid Executive Officer(s), form the Executive Committee and administer the charity.

Trustees, Officers, Staff and Structure

On 30th September 2024, the officers of the charity were: Chairman - Mr Timothy Howlett Secretary - Mr Jason Duffin (who also acts as deputy chairman)

On 30th September 2024, the other trustees were: Prof. Stephen Taylor Dr Alan Mitchell Mr David Ainscough Mr Richard Hilliard Mr Andrew Pryce Mr Stephen Wright (see note below)

The Executive Committee consists of the trustees plus the full-time Executive Officer and part-time Irish Executive Officer.

Appointment of future trustees will be from volunteers already committed to the work of United Beach Missions who would add tangible benefit in carrying out the duties of trustees. The desire of the Executive Committee is to look for other people to be appointed to it. This might mean a temporary bulge in its size.

As UBM's policy is that Executive Committee members step down if they are no longer actively doing mission or at age 70 if earlier. To that end, Mr Stephen Wright stepped down as a trustee (and off the Executive Committee) in December 2023. There is recognition that two current trustees will leave in 2025/2026.

Mr Alan Wells took on the role of treasurer at the end of the 2023 UBM financial year. Mr Wells is not a trustee or part of the Executive Committee. However, there is regular communication between the treasurer and the trustees.

Staff

The Executive Officer is Mr James Lycett. The Executive Officer is a member of the Executive committee but, as a paid official, not a trustee.

The Administration Officer is Miss Tirzah Jones.

The part-time Irish Executive Officer is Mr Hugh Martin. His primary focus is to a) progress the establishment of the UBM Republic of Ireland Trust (see later) and b) coordinate recruitment and develop relationships with a view to see more volunteers on Irish teams. He would be paid on a self-employed basis and would be responsible for his own HMRC payments.

Mrs Ulwyn Marshall currently serves as the part time office administrator in Ireland

Organisational Structure

Many operational decisions are devolved to the Management Groups (MG). There are four MGs

United Beach Mission Trust

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

(English and Welsh Beach Missions, Irish Beach Missions, Christian Answer Missions, Continental Missions) and each MG has a trustee as its chair. They regularly meet to review the operation of the work.

The Executive Committee seek to meet when they can to strategically develop the work as well as cover the legal and governance issues expected of trustees. A subset of the Executive Committee will occasionally meet up with the Executive Officer and Administration Officer to progress matters raised at the Executive Committee. There has been ongoing discussion as to how best to organise responsibilities such that the work of UBM is managed and developed effectively. To that end, a "Policy and Finance Advisory Committee" (PAFAC) was set up. This currently consists of 2 trustees, the Executive Officer, the Administration Officer, the treasurer and one senior volunteer with expertise in aspects of governance. This group reports to the trustees and had its first meeting in July 2024.

Objectives and activities

There are three principal activities of UBM.

The first principal activity is the proclamation and furtherance of the Gospel of God concerning his son Jesus Christ and the preaching and teaching of the Christian faith in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and in Continental Europe. This is achieved by the organisation, sponsorship and promotion of interdenominational Christian work. In particular, UBM organises:

a) 'Beach Mission' teams on the beaches of the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe with the aim of sharing the good news of Jesus with families.

b) 'Christian Answer' teams in various cities and tourist locations within the UK (such as London, Cambridge, Oxford and Edinburgh). This is through open-air preaching of the Christian faith, book tables and personal engagement with those willing to do so.

c) 'International Student Outreach' teams. This aspect of the work currently runs in Bournemouth.

d) 'Avancer' teams. These are weeks of evangelism organised by local churches in French speaking Europe. The churches are responsible (legally and financially) for the week, but UBM is happy to promote, pray for and provide team members for each of them.

e) 'MV' Teams run in different European locations. In some instances, as with Avancer teams UBM promote and provide teams members, and the work is run mostly by the local church. In other instances, the leadership and vast majority of the team apply through UBM with the local church supporting the mission.

The second principal activity is to deepen the knowledge of the Bible of those we have met through the above activities. In particular, UBM:

a) organises Bible correspondence courses for both children and adults.

b) answers any queries about the Christian faith from those who enquire.

The third principal activity is to train and develop UBM volunteers (both on teams and throughout the year) for the task of sharing the good news of the Gospel. These come from churches with whom we seek to establish a good working relationship. In 2024, 340 different churches sent volunteers on weeks with UBM.

Public Benefit

UBM provides public benefit in many different ways. The main benefits include, but are not confined to, the following:

Achievements and performance

2024 Activities

Evangelism

The summary of missions that UBM ran is:

708 people joined teams for our 2024 missions, with many doing more than one week. 708 people was an increase from the 699 team members seen in 2022, but a decrease from the 748 who joined teams in 2023. However, more individuals did multiple weeks in 2024. We started working at a new centre (Polzeath in Cornwall) in the summer 2024, taking over from Scripture Union who had been running missions there for many decades.

All teams experienced good opportunities to speak with families. All missions were able to run programmes and it encouraging to renew old and previously reached contacts.

Follow up

The websites for both the Christian public (www.ubm.org.uk) and those we meet when we run our activities (thebeachteam.org, thechristiananswer.org) are visited regularly. We receive responses and enquiries from them on a regular basis. Resources are sent to all parts of the world from people wishing to find out more about the Christian faith.

The Postal Bible Club (PBC) continues to offer free Bible correspondence courses to those we have met through the work on the beaches, and each month we send lesson to hundreds of children. It is planned to review the effectiveness of this side of our work and make changes that take into account the everchanging needs of families and individuals we meet.

The full impact of our evangelistic outreach is unknown. Each year we have emails from people who have been helped through the work of UBM. Some of the stories go back many years, but we get to hear them for the first time

Training and Fellowship

Our usual Leaders and Seniors' Day (preparation for going on mission) was held in the Nuneaton area in May with around 100 people in attendance. A full UBM Reunion Conference, was attended by around 300 people in September and held at the Cefn Lea Christian Conference Centre in Newtown, Wales. The teaching was based around the theme of being refreshed in Jesus after a busy summer of missions.

In mid-September those involved in Irish Beach Missions meet at Holywood Baptist Church in Belfast, for teaching and fellowship across a Friday evening and Saturday. The Irish side of the work had various other training days/evenings.

Other activities

We provide information to prayer supporters of our work on a regular basis. A monthly prayer letter was produced and sent to 4000+ people; we also hold an online prayer meeting on the second Thursday of the month.

The trustees remain vigilant to the growing requirements of legislation on charities in the UK. The introduction of the governance committee, PAFAC (see above) will help the trustees to focus on the

6

United Beach Mission Trust

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

key areas year on year. One immediate piece of work to be implemented in the next financial year will be to train our leaders well in their responsibilities (such as risk assessments).

An in-depth review has also been underway of the UBM Safeguarding Policy (previously called the Child Protection Policy) which should be finalised and published in the next financial year.

Behind the scenes, work continues to progress and improve efficiency and processes. For example, enhancements are continually being worked on for our online administration system. Each year there are improvements. The main improvement for team members will be to make the booking system mobile friendly. Work has started on this, but it is anticipated that it will take several years to implement.

Financial review

Finance and Reserve Funds

The value of the three properties owned by UBM was estimated in 2022 to be in excess of £1,000,000 which constitutes our reserve fund. The 2021-2022 accounts have these tangible assets detailed at £948,819, a conservative estimate. This was the same as the previous three accounting periods and the same as in these accounts. Periodic revaluations will be applied, on a frequency not exceeding 5 years, recognising the potential resale values of the properties.

We have never in the history of the charity seen funds drop to zero. The trustees consider that holding what many of our supporters perceive to be large cash reserves do not encourage the faith principle that the charity wishes to promote. Neither do large reserves stimulate giving to the charity. Our policy is therefore to allow working capital to fall to zero, with the value held in property used to secure short-term overdraft facilities should we ever need them. The charity will sell properties to to deal with any long-term requirement for borrowing.

The Chairman will circulate a specific appeal to our Advisory Committee should our working capital in the main account fall below £10,000 and where expected income is unlikely to restore to this level. Realising the financial implications of the Covid pandemic, many individuals and organisations generously donated to UBM during the 2019/2020 accounting period. Since then, our account balance has never dropped below this £10,000 trigger. In fact, the minimum balance in the main account during 2023/2024 was c£19,279 and the maximum was c£82,168. The balance at the end of the financial year was c£62,987.

From April 2024, the trustees received a monthly summary of the finances (at their request). This gives a rolling summary (over 5 or 6 years) of income and expenditure (and closing balance) for both regulated and non-regulated giving.

During the financial year 2019-2020, it was agreed that £21,000 of funds would be transferred to the new Irish legal entity once this has been set up. This process continues to take longer than expected but is ongoing. This includes providing previous accounts and key policies to the Charities Regulatory Authority (CRA). Further discussion by the trustees occurred in October 2023. The two key decisions were a) to confirm that the amount that currently existed in the Irish sterling account would be be transferred to the Irish legal entity and b) there would be a carefully managed reconciliation process for all money transactions between the two trusts with effect from 1st October 2023. This means that, once the Irish legal entity is set up, there is clarity on which money belongs to which charity. There is some work to be done for the yearly reconciliation between the two charities regarding the cross-charging of staff costs.

As usual we submitted our Gift Aid claim for the previous financial year (2022/2023). The total was £18,297 and was received in January 2024.

Back in the 2018/2019 financial year, a generous donor gave about £26,000 to help subsidise team fees for individuals. There was a smaller gift of c£5,000 the following year. During the 2021-22 financial year, the previous treasurer started conversations with this potential donor who wanted to give a 'substantial' gift to UBM each year out of his investment portfolio. In this current financial year, this amounted to c£9,640. Future trustees' reports will detail any significant outcomes from these ongoing conversations.

Management of the main UBM bank account is undertaken on-line with Miss Tirzah Jones as the primary user. Mr Timothy Howlett and Mr James Lycett are secondary users. This has greatly aided the degree of financial oversight exercised by the trustees and the smooth operation of the charity's finances. Tirzah Jones looks at the accounts on a regular basis and will highlight any concerns to the treasurer and/or the Executive Officer and/or the trustees. The treasurer and chairman will

8

United Beach Mission Trust

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

communicate about key strategic decisions.

This means that any potential strains on finances are spotted early and appropriate action is taken.

Payroll documentation is still outsourced to an Agent, with payments to HMRC personally handled by the Treasurer. Payment of salaries to staff is handled by the Treasurer. All other payments are mainly dealt with by the Administration Officer with the Executive Officer and Irish Office manager doing others. Separation of income and payments is maintained, with office staff in Belfast and Bridgend handling all income.

The trustees are mindful of the world economic climate and financial pressures on donors to the charity. The cost-of-living crisis deepened in 2022 and further into 2023 with the war in Ukraine continuing and energy prices remaining high. As well as the regular reporting, a finance committee had been meeting once a year to discuss the financial planning for the charity. The Executive Committee have initiated discussions about creating a 'finances and general purposes' committee.

The net incoming resources for the year amounted to £49,402 (2023: £68,812 outgoing). Gross income has increased to £326,901 (2023: £304,814).

Total Funds has increased by £49,402 in the year, giving a healthy total funds carried forward of £1,070,956.

Plans for future periods

Our focus for the 2024/25 financial year will be to i) support the development of UBM staff in their roles, ii) identify, prioritise and progress the key strategic and governance issues for the Executive Committee, iii) establish the PAFAC task group, iv) continue to mobilise the individual Management Groups to develop their areas of ministry. For i), this will include identifying and training the next generation of leaders and thus passing on the baton within both The Executive Committee and Management Groups.

It is hoped that the set-up of a new Irish legal entity will be completed in the next financial year. Things have progressed again in this period as we supply information to the charitable bodies in Ireland. However, the process is taking longer than anticipated. Although the requirement is to have two separate trusts (UK and Irish), the aim is to be seen as one logical organisation (operationally and in ethos).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of United Beach Mission Trust

Year ended 30 September 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of United Beach Mission Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 September 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is c/o Evangelical Movement of Wales, Waterton Cross Business Park, South Road, Bridgend, CF31 3UL.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - No depreciation Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance

No depreciation will be provided on properties.Periodic revaluations will be applied, on a frequency not exceeding 3 years, recognising the potential resale values of the properties. The St Ives valuation was a midpoint of 3 recent commercial valuations, and the Llandudno valuation based on similar properties sold in the area. The Newquay property was acquired in the previous year, and the costs of acquisition, together with professional fees and post acquisition renovation costs have been expensed.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

Year ended 30 September 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans (continued)

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
