New Tribes Mission Annual Report
Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31st December 2024. 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 For the Year Ended 31 December 2024

New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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.
-
to translate and publish the Scriptures for those ethnic peoples where NTM personnel are working.
-
to plant mature churches that will become selfgoverning, 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
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 6
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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, rich, and poor and without charge. This has not only the 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.
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 7
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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.

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. 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 2023/24
New Tribes Mission has continued to undertake its responsibilities in the pursuance of its objectives and aims as contained in its Trust Deed.
North Cotes College.
The year began with all three phases of the training programme in operation. There were 43 students in total. Of the 28 students enrolled in the Biblical Studies course, 26 completed their studies and graduated. There were 12 students enrolled for the Cross-Cultural Communications course, and they all successfully completed their studies and graduated. There were 3 students who commenced the Advanced Linguistics course of study and 2 completed their studies and graduated.
In September of 2024, there were 34 students in the Biblical Studies course, 16 in the Cross-Cultural Communications course and no students for the Advanced Linguistics course. The total student body numbered 50 students.
The graduates from the Cross-Cultural Communications course will become missionaries with New Tribes Mission, Ethnos360 or another missionary sending agency.
It is encouraging to see the increase in student numbers and particularly the growing numbers doing the Biblical Studies courses. There is a 30% increase over the previous class and a
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Page | 10
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
similar increase in the Cross-Cultural Communications class and an overall increase in the student body of 16%
There have been no further problems with students obtaining student visas and entry into the UK. It seems that the confusion that was experienced by some returning students due to a lack of clarity of the regulations by some Border Force agents is no longer a problem.
The North Cotes College Joint Training Council of representatives from the College and the European partners of NTM have been able to meet regularly together in person. One of these meetings involved members of the Global Equip Coordinating Team (GECT). The purpose of the GECT is to work with all the training centres worldwide to see all potential missionaries, no matter where they originate from, receive the same core equipping to be able to serve together on teams throughout the world. A conference for trainers was held at
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 11
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
North Cotes in April and there were participants from countries from North America, Europe and Africa. One of the North Cotes College leaders participated in a Global Forum Trainers conference in Camdenton, USA.
Most of the Biblical Studies courses this year were taught by the resident teaching staff but some modules were taught by volunteer guest teachers including pastors from UK churches and this is much appreciated. We are thankful for the help of experienced volunteers who give of their time to serve in the college, nursery, kitchen and with the Campus Management Team.
Noah’s Ark Nursery The nursery continues to provide care for the younger children of student families enabling both father and mother to attend classes. Some staff children are also taken care of in the nursery. The Sunrise childcare
program for school age children of students was launched in September in accordance with regulations and recommendations made by Ofsted.
The Campus Management Team have undertaken several projects in the past twelve months including:
-
a). finishing the repairs to the Paul Fleming building following the major refurbishment of the water supply and heating infrastructure.
-
b). preparations for the roof repairs of the workshop to be done by contractors in 2025.
-
c). preparation of room facilities for the Sunrise toddler programme.
-
d). modifications to the laundry building including the waiting area.
-
e). replacing the guttering and facias of mission property on Samphire Close.

Two members of the Campus Management Team did courses
on the use of chainsaws and successfully gained their competency certification. Another member of the team took training on the control of pests and weeds and successfully gained his competency certification.
The members of the Campus Management Team have completed relevant Health and Safety courses and keep up-todate records of all training courses undertaken.
The Regular maintenance of systems continues to be carried out in accordance with current regulations by our CMT members and contractors.
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
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024

New Tribes Mission Annual Report
also takes care of the financial administration of the college. The assessment given to the trustees from the finance team in October 2024 was positive and encouraging. No recourse to using the reserve fund had been necessary. Careful budgeting and control over spending during a period of time when the cost of living has risen sharply due to inflation has meant that the charity has been able to maintain its liquid cash assets at a functional level whilst meeting all its financial obligations operationally. We are thankful to God for His faithful provision of all our financial and material needs.
The application to the Charity Commission to be registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation has been successful. NTM received notification on the 2[nd] August 2024 of the Charity Commissions registration of the charity.
The organisation’s main computer servers were upgraded. Many of the organisations IT operations are now cloud based.
Publications.
The Link magazine continues to be the primary means of communication to supporters of NTM’s ministry. The NTM website and other social media platforms are also a source of information to keep its supporters current of its news, prayer information, and allows the public to make financial donations online. It also gives information about the training program and annual conferences held at the college campus. Prayer letters and information are also made available to supporters of NTM’s ministries.

New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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. Meetings in churches here in the UK and in other European countries give opportunity to present the challenge of missions. University and College Christian Unions are open to representation from NTM and give us contact with young people considering their future vocation.
The “ Reach Conference ” in March 2024, saw over 250 visitors from the UK and mainland Europe. This conference again proved to be a significant contributor to young people deciding to come to NCC for training. The “Make a Difference Conference” also took place in June with over 150 visitors in attendance.
The annual Refresher Course for European members of NTM and Ethnos360 was held in Germany. There was encouraging Bible teaching, seminars and reports from those areas of the world where NTM/Ethnos missionaries are conducting their ministries.
The annual “ Candles by Candlelight ” service for the community saw about a hundred and forty people from the village of North Cotes and other nearby villages attending. Festive refreshments were served.
Overseas ministries.
UK missionaries working in Asia, Africa and South America continued their ministries often in difficult, challenging and isolated circumstances. The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is being proclaimed among people groups who have little or no access to the Christian message. Those who have embraced this message are being discipled in the context of local
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 15
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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 more than 100 languages and has planted over 1200 churches.
European Partnership.
The annual gathering of European partners took place in Romania in October.
General Data Protection Regulation.
The GDPR policy is operating, and all departments are complying with the regulations in regard to the storage of data.
Safeguarding Children’s Policy. All policies regarding the protection of vulnerable beneficiaries and child safety both here in the UK and overseas are being regularly reviewed and members receive periodic training.

Future Plans.
Two phases of the training program 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. Preparations are going ahead in anticipation of the inspection and revalidation of North Cotes College by the British Accreditation Council. Our current staff 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.
Plans have been drawn up by an architect to create an apartment in one of the dormitory buildings which will allow for independent living and will be wheelchair accessible. An application has been submitted to the local planning authority for Planning and Building Control permission.
We are making plans to hold the two annual residential conferences in March and June. The Forum for leaders of the European partners was held in Romania in October 2024. The summer Refresher Course in 2024 for missionaries on home assignment was held in Germany in August.
The new charitable status will require a lot of work to change its registration with financial institutions as well as all those companies that NTM does trade with. A new logo for the organisation is being designed and will be incorporated into our literature.
Trustee Training. The Trustee Board has met three times during the year and will meet in October for the Annual General Meeting

Financial Review
Extended Financial Year
As previously mentioned, NTM successfully registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on the 2nd of August 2024. The 2023/24 financial year was extended to 31st December 2024 to allow for a smooth transfer of assets and liabilities from the Unincorporated charity to the new CIO. The figures in these accounts relate to the period 1st September 2023 to 31st December 2024. This change was granted by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Investment policy and objectives
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, always have a duty under the Mission’s Trust Deed to treat as income funds that might otherwise be regarded as capital.
Reserves policy
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 £2,812,071 (2022/23 total incoming resources £2,085,360). Total resources expended amounted to £2,744,701 (2022/23 - total resources
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 20
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
expended £2,103,603). This gives rise to a total surplus for the year of £67,370 (2022/23 - a deficit of £18,243).
The net assets of New Tribes Mission amount to £1,372,335 (2022/23 - total net assets £1,286,832) as of 31 December 2024.

Auditors
During the year, Sheen Stickland, the appointed auditor gave notice that their Chichester Office would be merging with Lewis Brownlee (Chichester) Limited. The Trustees of New Tribes Mission agreed that Lewis Brownlee (Chichester) Limited shall be appointed as our External Auditor and will be proposed for reappointment.
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
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 22
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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 period ended 31 December 2024 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 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the period 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,
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 24
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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 obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
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
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 25
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material 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 (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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 Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, 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
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 26
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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) 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.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector.
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 27
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity.
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence, where applicable; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
www.ntm.org.uk For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 28
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charity’s legal advisors, where applicable.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noncompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Notes to the Accounts for the period ended 31[st] December 2024
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 For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 38
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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 For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Page | 39
New Tribes Mission Annual Report
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.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowances for obsolete and slow-moving items.
Taxation
New Tribes Mission is exempt from direct tax on its charitable activities.
