SCJM CHARITABLE TRUST
(operating as Ministry in Motion)
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
Trustees’ report
The charity reports on its activities in the year to 5 April 2022.
The trust was established by deed of trust dated 1 April 1980.
Trustees
The trustees throughout the year were Mr PM Stanton and Mr PL Cushen.
Objects
The trust is established for the advancement of religion in accordance with the principles of evangelical christian faith. It has continued to provide grants to churches, missionary societies and other charitable causes in the UK and overseas.
Income
The trust is wholly dependent upon private unsolicited contributions to finance its activities. It does not seek funds by public subscription or use the services of any fund raising organisations or individuals.
Investments and reserves
The trustees hold no investments but have had a policy of the retention of about one year’s income in reserve for future distribution.
Financial statements
The accounts and statement of assets set out on page one relating to the year ended 5 April 2022 are as approved by the trustees. The trustees hold no assets other than as set out in the accounts.
Activities
The trustees having maintained their practice of expending funds in the giving of grants to and for a variety of evangelical Christian needs and causes believe the charity continues to satisfy the public benefit test. Exceptional circumstances have recently led to a short term accumulation of funds. New projects have been identified including helping to support work among churches and with pastors in Africa operating under the name Ministry in Motion which will require substantial support in the near future and also in Bulgaria. The trustees believe, and in the expectation of further donations, that they hold sufficient funds to meet the needs as they arise. How quickly the projects develop with which we are involved however will be dependent at least in part upon the availability of sufficient funds.
Independent Examiner
Mr Brian Robson, having indicated his willingness was appointed to examine and has examined the accounts for the year ended 5 April 2022.

ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the SCJM Charitable Trust
I report on the accounts of the SCJM Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2022 which are set out on page one.
To the trustees:
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
To the members:
Independent examiner’s report
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
