New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and Activities
Objectives and Aims
The Trust Deed states that the object of New Tribes Mission is:
"to re-affirm and re-establish the Faith among all people of the world in the religious principles and doctrine taught by Jesus Christ."
That core objective is clearly expressed in the NTM purpose statement as follows:
"Motivated by the love of Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, NTM in the UK, along with its worldwide partners, exists to assist the ministry of the local church through the mobilising, equipping,
and coordinating of missionaries to evangelise unreached people groups, translate the Scriptures and see indigenous New Testament churches established that glorify Christ".
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 4
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
The objectives of New Tribes Mission expressed both in its Trust Deed and purpose statement fit two of the charitable purposes described in the Charities Act 2011 as:
-
The advancement of Religion
-
The advancement of Education
-
The prevention or relief of poverty is also a defined charitable purpose that, though incidental to the two above, is a benefit that many experience as a result of the primary activities of NTM in its overseas work among the world's least reached people groups.
Many of the world's people still live without opportunity to hear Jesus Christ's teaching and in obedience to His command to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," NTM in the UK along with its partners worldwide focuses all its activities to that end.
These include:
-
serving the Church in the UK by presenting the challenge of reaching the world's least reached people groups
-
serving the Church in the UK and the rest of Europe by training their members for cross cultural ministry
-
serving the Church and supporters of NTM's ministry by supplying the logistical support for all its self-supporting members both overseas and in the UK
-
people group assessment to determine the world's least reached people
-
sending missionaries to learn the language and culture of those people in order to give them the opportunity of hearing Christ's teachings and believe the gospel
-
to linguistically analyse a language in order to prepare written materials
-
to teach literacy to those people with only an oral tradition
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 5
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
-
to translate and publish the Scriptures for those ethnic peoples where NTM personnel are working
-
to plant mature churches that will become self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating
-
to give consultant help in all aspects of the church planting ministry and pastoral care to all members while away from their sending country
Reporting on Public Benefit
The trustees have examined the aims and activities of New Tribes Mission in the light of the Charity Commission's two key principles of being able to identify the benefits of its activities and those of the public who are the beneficiaries of those activities. In summary, the benefits are those that come from the sharing of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, which leads to changed lives by all those who believe it and live by the selfless principles that Christ taught. It brings freedom from the guilt and power of sin, from fear and superstition and sets forth a quality of life that has the well-being of others as central to its ethos, irrespective of race and social standing. The churches planted offer the opportunity for the development of the spiritual life of all members of the community, young and old, rich and poor and without racial prejudice. Their love of God is also accompanied by the other commandment to love their neighbour as themselves, which brings a caring quality to life for all members of their communities.
The educational benefit to ethnically distinct people groups of learning to read and write their own language is also offered to all members of their society both young and old and rich and poor and without charge. This has not only the
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 6
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
benefit of personal development for all members of the society but helps to preserve aspects of their culture and identity. Literacy is also beneficial to all in that the Bible and other literature produced can be read and understood by all. This acquired skill is also helpful in equipping people for developing activities and projects that can bring material benefit and poverty relief.
The beneficiaries of NTM's activities are some of the least reached peoples of the world wherever they live and without prejudice of race or social standing. They are to be found among more than 270 of the world's ethnically distinct people in 25
countries on four continents of the world being served by NTM missionaries from more than fifty countries at this present time.
The benefits of NTM's activities worldwide are also monitored in respect of perceived detriment by some who have concerns of the impact of deploying western educated missionaries in remote and vulnerable people groups. The experience NTM has gained in respect of cultural sensibilities in the transfer of unhelpful culture is central to the approach that NTM takes to church planting. God's Word teaches principles of belief and practise that are transcultural and fit for all the cultures of the world. All ministry locations are accessible to local government authorities and open to be externally assessed and evaluated.
North Cotes College, the training centre of New Tribes Mission, is located at North Cotes, Lincolnshire and exists to benefit the candidates of evangelical Christian churches in the UK and mainland Europe primarily but also from other parts of the world who choose to use this training facility. It is available to all who are of like faith.

New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Staff Remuneration
No member of the Mission receives a salary for the services they undertake. Gifts designated for the work of specific members of the Mission are sent by supporters to the Head Office and are forwarded from the Head Office to the specific member. Those trustees who are also members of the Mission receive funds in the same way. No member of the Mission is authorised to solicit funds.
Some of our volunteer members reside in charity property in the UK. This is by permission of the trustees and for the better carrying out of the charity’s main object. There are no tenancies and rentals charged, but some members may contribute to the living costs of the property where they live. Trustees may reside on charity property on the same terms as other members of the charity, and all under the same informal license arrangements.
New Tribes Mission has over the past twelve months continued to undertake its responsibilities in the pursuance of its objectives and aims as contained in its Trust Deed.

Achievement and Performance
Review of the Year 2020
a. North Cotes College
The year began with all three phases of the training programme
in operation. There were 59 students in total. Of the 36 students enrolled in the Biblical Studies course 31 completed their studies and graduated. There were 14 students enrolled for the Cross Cultural Communications course and 13 successfully completed their studies and graduated. There were 9 students who commenced the Advanced Linguistics course of study and they all completed their studies and graduated.
The graduates from the Cross Cultural Communications course will become missionaries with New Tribes Mission, Ethnos360 or another missionary organisation.
At the commencement of the academic year in September 2020, there were 26 students enrolled in the Biblical Studies course, 17 students in the Cross Cultural Communications Course and 7 students in the Applied Linguistics course making a total student body of 50. This represents a significant decrease in the student body over the previous academic year’s enrolment. The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected this year’s enrolment.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 9
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
The Covid-19 pandemic seriously interrupted the college academic year. Following the government lockdown in March and curtailment of classes most of the overseas students returned to their home countries. A handful of students remained on campus, as they were unable to return home for a number of reasons including travel restrictions.
Steps were taken to continue the courses on line using Zoom and Teams platforms. In this way, teachers were able to teach from their offices and students were able to complete their studies at home. In preparation for the new academic year, and with so many ongoing uncertainties, cameras and recording equipment were purchased and installed in the classrooms so that if students were required to isolate they could continue their studies on line. This proved to be a timely investment in view of further lockdowns later in the year and those students who needed to quarantine.
The practicum, mission simulation, was not able to be undertaken in June due to lockdown restrictions but was able to take place in August when all the 3C students returned to the college to complete this part of the course.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 10
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
There was clarification from the UK government with regard to entry requirements for all non-UK students after the 31st December, 2020 when the UK will have completed its withdrawal from the EU. All non-UK students intending to study in the UK will be required to have a student visa. The education provider, in our case North Cotes College, will be required to be accredited by a government approved accreditation board in order to receive overseas students. Those non-UK students currently pursuing their studies are allowed to complete their courses if they register with the government under the “settled status” category. Those students applying to commence their studies in September, 2021 will require a student visa. Now that there is clarification on the requirements for non-UK students, the college will pursue accreditation with the British Accreditation Council.
The North Cotes College Joint Training Council of representatives from the College and the European partners of NTM met via Zoom four times during the year. This continues to be a helpful forum in which feedback from both staff and students are considered and is strategic in developing and keeping the training programme relevant, along with the input from the International Ministries Team.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 11
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
The Campus Management Team completed the new men’s disabled WC in the education building. A wider fire door was installed in the gymnasium and a bridge over the dyke to provide a safe exit for disabled users. One of the roof valleys of the workshop was able to be repaired and the remaining six valleys will be repaired as funds become available. A new heat control system has been installed to better manage the heat generated by one of the biomass boilers. We will evaluate its effectiveness and then consider a
further installation for the other biomass boiler. Pipes were insulated in the dorm also to give better control in the student accommodation. Three kitchens were also installed in two of the student dormitories to provide Covid compliant housing facilities.
The members of the campus management team have been able to complete appropriate Health and Safety courses through an online training programme that was invested in. This not only
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 12
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
provides necessary training but also keeps record of the training received and signals when further training is required.
The Regular maintenance of systems continues to be carried out in accordance with current regulations by our CMT members and contractors.
The nursery continues to provide care for the younger children of student families enabling both father and mother to attend classes.
There were a number of personnel changes to the North Cotes College and headquarter team. Most of the
courses this year were taught by the resident teachers but some modules were taught by volunteer guest teachers including pastors from UK churches. We are thankful for the help of volunteers who helped with the catering and child care. Another volunteer with experience in university administration has joined the headquarter team. Her experience is hugely beneficial as we work through the accreditation process.
b. Head Office
The Head Office administrative team has continued to manage the services offered to its overseas and UK based members. The financial department takes care of all aspects of the administration of funds received for the organisation and the missionaries, in accordance with the wishes of the donors. It also takes care of the financial administration of the college. Following the annual audit the accountants reported to the trustees that the charity’s liquid assets had significantly improved over the previous year. The rigorous budgetary controls that had been implemented had succeeded in redressing the cash flow issues experienced in 2019. The charity is well able to fulfil all its financial obligations without compromising its operations. We are thankful to God for His faithful provision of all our financial and material needs.

New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
c. Publications
The Link magazine continues to be the primary means of communication to supporters of NTM’s ministry. The newly developed NTM website is also a source of information to keep its supporters current of its news, prayer information, and allows the public to make financial donations, buy books, and media resources on line. It also gives information about the training programme and annual conferences held at the college campus. Prayer letters and information is made available to supporters of NTM’s ministries.
d. Representation
The promotion of the ministry of NTM is undertaken by its representatives both here in the UK and in Europe through its partner NTM and Ethnos360 affiliates. This year NTM was unable to participate in the normal national conferences at the UCCF Forum, Keswick Convention, Bangor Worldwide and Global Connections as they were all cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Very few meetings have been able to be held due to the travel restrictions though some have been able to be conducted through Zoom and Teams.
The two residential conferences normally held at North Cotes during the months of March and June had to be cancelled due to Covid. This was disappointing as it has been a fruitful way in attracting potential missionary candidates as well as keeping the supporters of the work informed of progress and challenges in the ministry.
The annual Refresher Course for European members and missionaries on home assignment also had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions. The annual Carol Service was not able to
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 14
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
be held but a recorded presentation was made available through You Tube which was well received.
e. Short Term Ministries
No short term overseas trips were able to be carried out in 2020 due to Covid. The Associate programme sent out one teacher to work in a mission school. Eight other Associate members are working at the NTM headquarters and college. The Volunteer Programme has been an invaluable way of helping with the running of the childcare facility allowing students to have their young children cared for while they in lectures. Three volunteer assistants have served in the nursery; three have helped in the refectory and two managing the IT systems.
f. Overseas ministries
The Covid pandemic has been a significant interruption for missionaries working overseas. Some were unable to travel to the UK for home assignment and others due to fly back to their ministry location were also unable to due to the travel restrictions. However, UK missionaries working in Asia, Africa
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 15
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
and Central America continue to send encouraging reports on their ministries throughout the year.
The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is being proclaimed among people groups who have no access to the Christian message. Those who have embraced this message are being discipled in the context of local churches that are being planted. The Bible is translated into the maternal languages of the people groups. This follows a programme of linguistic analysis of the language with the goal of providing an alphabet and creating literacy programmes for the people. Hygiene and health programmes have been introduced where they were lacking. Socioeconomic projects have been undertaken when appropriate and acceptable by government authorities. There is a spiritual and moral impact that is valued in the societies where ministry is being undertaken as well as the material, educational and economic benefits that are experienced. Currently, NTM works in over 270 people groups worldwide and is translating the New Testament into 110 languages and has planted over 1200 churches.
g. European Partnership
The annual gathering of European partners had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions. There will be a virtual meeting planned for January 2021.
h. General Data Protection Regulation
The GDPR policy is operating and all departments are complying with the new regulations with regard to the storage of data.
i. Safeguarding Children’s Policy
All policies with regard to the protection of vulnerable beneficiaries and child safety both here in the UK and overseas are being regularly reviewed and members receive periodic training.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 16
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
j. Future Plans
All three phases of the training programme will continue to be developed to enable our students to be effectively equipped for the changing needs of the ministry locations in which NTM missionaries are serving. We are looking for other suitably qualified teachers for both the Biblical Studies course and the Cross Cultural Communications course. Other current needs include personnel with IT skills; somebody with general building and maintenance skills and qualified volunteer nursery workers. We are thankful for the many volunteers who help on a short term basis throughout the course of the year.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 17
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Due to the ongoing Covid restrictions we will not be able to hold the two annual residential conferences. Plans are well advanced to hold the conferences virtually. The Forum for leaders of the European partners will be held in January through Zoom. If Covid restrictions are lifted there may be a further meeting of the European partners in Spain. The summer Refresher Course for missionaries on home assignment is due to be held in the UK in August. The feasibility of this will be determined nearer the time depending on any restrictions in force.
NTM will be represented in churches virtually for the present and then in person as Covid restrictions are lifted. Then also meetings will be able to go ahead in universities and colleges.
North Cotes College has applied to the British Accreditation Council for accreditation and an inspection of the campus is expected in spring as part of the process. The nursery has also applied for OFSTED registration.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 18
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
After consultation with the organisation’s auditors we plan on changing the accounting year from as it is at present, January to December, to be aligned with the academic year of the college from September to August.
The trustees believe it is the best interests of the charity to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and replace the current trust deed. This will also be undertaken in 2021.
k. Trustee Training
Trustee training courses are being planned for those trustees who were unable to get on courses in 2020. Courses offered by Stewardship and Hampson’s were undertaken and have proved helpful especially with the current conditions due to the Covid pandemic.

Financial Review

Funds not required for the current needs of New Tribes Mission may be invested in investments of any kind at the discretion of the UK Committee. The trustees have a duty under the Mission's Trust Deed at all times to treat as income funds that might otherwise be regarded as capital.

It is not the policy of New Tribes Mission to hold unrestricted reserves unless the trustees have designated these for a specific purpose. Details of designated reserves are shown as part of the financial statements.
The trustees have agreed that there needs to be a minimum level of unrestricted reserves held to deal with any unforeseen events affecting primarily the running of the site at North Cotes and the College Activities. This reserve has been set at £50,000 and is reviewed on a regular basis.
Total incoming resources amounted to £1,808,667 (2019 total incoming resources £1,878,304). Total resources expended amounted to £1,698,621 (2019 total resources expended £1,773,702). This gives rise to a total surplus for the year of £110,046 (2019, a surplus of £104,602).
The net assets of New Tribes Mission amount to £1,232,424 (2019 total net assets £1,122,378) as at 31 December 2020.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of New Tribes Mission (the 'charity') for the year ended 31st December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31st December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 25
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 26
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities 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 misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK)
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 27
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of charged with governance.
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.

Notes to the Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2020
Accounting Policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of New Tribes Mission, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments, which are included at fair value.
Income
All incoming resources, with the exception of legacies, are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when New Tribes Mission is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Legacies are recognised when it is probable that they will be received.
Provision is made for tax recoverable on income received during the period and included under the relevant heading in the financial statements.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 36
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Donated fixed assets
Assets given for use by New Tribes Mission are brought into account at a reasonable estimate of their value to New Tribes Mission as determined by the Trustees.
Personal gifts
Funds are received by the UK Head Office for distribution to missionaries. In the financial statements these funds are accounted for as restricted income. The subsequent distribution is accounted for as direct charitable expenditure.
Investment assets and income
Investments are stated at historical cost.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
All expenditure, including expenditure to be met from donations and gifts, or other restricted funding, is recognised when the liability is incurred.
When funding has been received but the expenditure has not been incurred, the funds are carried forward as restricted reserves.
Depreciation is treated as charitable activities as fixed assets are primarily for the use of New Tribes Mission.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 37
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Governance costs
Comprises the costs of governance arrangements, which relate to the general running of New Tribes Mission.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Expenditure which does not directly relate to the objects of New Tribes Mission is analysed between charitable support costs, governance costs and costs of raising funds.
Items which involve more than one cost category are apportioned as appropriate to the cost categories involved.
Expenses relating to restricted funds are shown separately.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Equipment | - 20% on cost |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | - 10% on cost |
| Furniture | - 10% on cost |
| Biomass boiler | - 5% on cost |
No depreciation is provided on freehold property because the trustees are of the opinion that the open market values of the freehold properties are in excess of the historical cost. An impairment review is undertaken annually and it is considered by the trustees that there has been no permanent diminution in value.
Assets purchased or donated with a cost or value exceeding £500 are capitalised.
www.ntm.org.uk review of the year 2020 38
New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
New Tribes Mission is exempt from direct tax on its charitable activities.

New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Restricted funds arise where a donor has placed a specific restriction on the use of the funds.
Direct Missionary support comprises restricted donations, gifts and other monies received for the support of missionaries in the field of ministry. These funds are forwarded to the designated missionary.
The Deacons Fund is a fund that receives income either from donations or from transfers from other NTM accounts to help such accounts that are in need. The UK committee controls the allocation of the funds in the Deacon Fund.
The Student Relief Fund is a fund that receives income from either donations or from transfers from other NTM accounts to help with such student accounts that are in need, either in regards to paying fees or with living costs. The allocation of the funds in the Student Relief Fund is under the control of the North Cotes College Committee.
The Playground Fund is a fund for the development of a children's playground.
New Tribes Mission holds sufficient liquid assets to enable restricted funds to be applied in accordance with the restrictions.
The Contingency Fund is an unrestricted fund maintained to cover expenses of a major contingency situation involving a member or associate member of NTM-UK. As a way of anticipating such expenses all member (full or associate) contribute 0.75% of their gross income (as received at source by NTM-UK) into a contingency fund. This does not include personal funds or funds received from other International NTM partners, (similar charges may be charged at source in the other NTM partner country).
Transfers between the general fund and the fixed asset reserve represent movements within fixed assets during the year.

New Tribes Mission – For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
We give thanks to God for His continued provision for the work of New Tribes Mission, both over this past year, as well as previous years.
Thanks also go to all those churches and individuals that have faithfully supported the work of NTM; by their prayers; through their giving; through their encouragement to the mission as a whole and to each missionary.
Finally, we want to acknowledge each missionary, associate, volunteer and student at North Cotes College who have helped us in the task of reaching the unreached with the good news of the gospel.
