a) Introduce children to, and broaden their knowledge of, the Bible.
b) Accurately reflect the Bible text.
c) Develop an understanding of Christianity, and how it applies to everyday life.
Achievements and performance
Key financial performance indicators
In determining the key financial performance indicators of this Charity, the following are noted:
a) The level and margins achieved on the supply of Bible-teaching material.
b) The impact the attendance at exhibitions has on the level of turnover.

Trustees' Report
Review of activities
For this past financial Year, we have seen our customer level and sales remain constant – new customers are still being gained, and the amount being spent was consistent with the previous year. On first glance, it could be presumed that the sales figures in this financial year presents a similar number of Sunday School, youth, and children's work in churches buying our material, as they have a growing confidence in running regular activities in their church situations and using our materials.
The part-time freelance Editorial Coordinator for Go Teach, who we employed in June 2022, left the company at the end of December ‘24 and returned to teaching, as her children are now all in school. A previous part-time freelance Editorial Coordinator has returned to work for us temporarily, as a part-time freelance Editorial Manager, until we secure a replacement, or he finds he is able to continue his role longer and further help us develop the work. Our 3 full time staff members continue to maintain their high standards of work and, along with the Directors, all in the company would like to see new products developed and our main materials updated in ways that would appeal to current and new customers. We recognise we need to wisely to develop the work and its materials in a fiscally sound way to increase our market share of the Sunday School and midweek clubs of churches. The trustees instigated a review of the company, and, as a result of it, have appointed an interim part-time Executive Officer with the aim to appoint someone as a permanent Executive Officer.
Unfortunately, we needed to use some of our Reserves Fund in the last year - £6000 was transferred from it in July ’24 in-order to allow our Current Account to remain at an acceptable level, able to honour the payments needed at the time. However, we do still maintain circa. 3 months of finances in reserve, and will always do what we can to increase this amount.
Whilst we cannot predict what lies ahead for the 2025-2026 Financial Year, we go into the future with a solid base from this year, as we consider looking at any improved ways to maintain and develop the company. Our new voluntary Director started and was registered with the Charity Commission as of 1st February 2024 and is contributing to the work of the Trustees. If possible, we would look to appoint further voluntary Directors from our supporting organisations.
As a Christian organisation, we thank God for His help and provision in helping the staff with their production work, for the finances generated and the Directors unity in voluntarily serving behind the scenes, and that we would know God’s help and blessing on the work as we go on further into the 2025-2026 financial year.
Fundraising activities/Income generation
Go Teach has no plans to use the services of a fundraiser to seek support of any of its current activities.
Investment policy and performance
The Company does not invest monies in shares, but places any surplus funds in Deposit Accounts to earn interest prior to it being withdrawn for use within the Company's activities.
The Income Units held by the COIF Charities Investment Fund are seen as short-term investments. In time, the Board of Trustees will consider whether the Units should be deemed as a long-term investment, or be disposed of as soon as appropriate.

Trustees' Report
Financial Review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and certainly through this current Financial Year. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies
Policy on reserves
The Company endeavours to maintain a Reserves Policy whereby funds equivalent to three months Administration expenses are held within Bank Accounts. In addition, reserves are transferred from the general fund to ensure that no designated or restricted fund produces a deficit.
At 31 January 2025, Unrestricted Funds totalled £106,735, well in excess of three months Administration expenses, which for the year ended 31 January 2025 was £44,110.
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 22 December 1977, and is a Registered Charity, number 275116. The company is limited by guarantee.
Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees, who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.
Organisational structure and decision making
The Board continues to meet monthly, but have additional meetings if necessary, so as to discuss issues and vote on matters arising.

Trustees' Report
Major risks and management of those risks
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in-particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
Future developments
Although sales remained constant, it is our aim to increase sales again in this current Financial Year, as it is every year. The Staff and Directors realise that the increasing costs within society, churches, and our production process will affect Go Teach in many ways, but we will strive to overcome all barriers ahead of us, so that we are here and able to report on another year this time next year, which will be the 80th year of continuation of the company.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
-
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
-
the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d);
-
the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and

-
the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2025
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Fixtures & Fittings | 15% on Straight line balance |
| Computer Equipment | 20% on reducing balance |
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2025
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate
