THE POCKET TESTAMENT LEAGUE LIMITED

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

The trustees, who are the charity’s directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023.

Objectives and activities

The UK has historically benefited from a strong Biblical foundation, providing a value base that builds strong families and society. As our culture has grown more secular, there has been a decline in this Biblical foundation, and our society is paying the price. Additionally, much of the recent immigration has been from countries which have very little historical exposure to the Bible and the values it offers. The Pocket Testament League (also using the name "Bridge Builders") desires to address these issues, helping people find peace with their Creator, and purpose for their lives.

The Pocket Testament League’s mission is to mobilise and equip Christians to read, carry, and share the Word of God. We encourage members to dedicate a pocket to the Lord, to carry a small Gospel of John in that pocket, and to look for opportunities to share the Word of God as God guides them. Our vision is to recruit 100,000 supporters who will bring the Bible back to the UK in a powerful, and very personal way. Our long-term vision is to champion the Word of God, and to encourage everyone to read it for themselves.

The directors have determined to keep the activities undertaken under review in considering the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The charity undertakes a number of activities in order to achieve these objectives and is committed to ensuring that these activities are open to all in their communities in addition to being available via Christian church fellowships.

The Company is developing policies to:

  1. Recruit supporters who will share the Word of God. These ‘members of the movement’ are recruited using social media, church presentations, and strategic partnerships.

  2. Print and provide Gospels of John with attractive covers, along with other Christian publications. We will send them for free to any who ask.

  3. Communicate regularly with supporters through email and social media, sharing inspirational stories and evangelism ideas from other members of the movement.

  4. Create custom Gospels of John for churches, ministries, businesses, and individuals to encourage them to share the Word of God.

Achievements and performance

During the past 4 years we have recruited more than 24,000 supporters who have joined the movement to bring the Bible back to the UK. We expanded our Gospel offerings from just four cover designs to more than four dozen, adding foreign language Gospels to our range, including Arabic, Farsi, Finnish, French, Lithuanian, Luganda, Polish, Portuguese, Malagasy, Runyakore-Rukiga, Swahili, Welsh and Ukrainian to better reach a wider and more diverse population in the UK and overseas.

During this year our supporters and partners have shared pocket Gospels with more than 560,000 people. This included commemorative Gospels to mark both the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. A total of 225,000 Gospels were shared across the UK to mark these events alone.

Our Gospels and booklets have been stored and sent out by Verité in West Sussex, a Christian company, that has also printed and mailed out periodic magazines and other mailings on our behalf. Our office is linked to Verité by an administrative website.

PTL ministries in India again greatly benefited from generous donations, with £43,750 being donated to the work in India during the last year.

A closer working relationship with PTL in the United States was established in 2018 which has resulted in an improvement in the use of internet technologies and an increase in future gospel provision.

Funds from generous US supporters continues to help the charity to grow and develop. This has enabled us to invest in Facebook advertising to improving our ability to promote literature, broaden the products available, increase ordering volumes, draw new supporters. The financial accounts reflect the value of donated resources for Facebook member recruitment, website development, travel and Gospels printed.

The directors remain grateful to all our supporters for their continued prayer, financial giving and partnership in sharing the good news about Jesus.

THE POCKET TESTAMENT LEAGUE LIMITED

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

Financial review

The directors are reporting a surplus for the year of £66,930 (2022: deficit £59,019). Reserves have built up during the year for future use on planned global gospel distribution with the result that unrestricted reserves have increased from £119,724 at the beginning of the year to £145,918 at the end of the financial year.

Donations continue to be made to support new and ongoing gospel projects. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to at least between three and six months of unrestricted fund expenditure. The directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant fall in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The level of reserves held at the end of the year represented over 12 months' expenditure.

Reference and administrative information is provided on the page following the cover sheet.

The directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The Pocket Testament League is a company limited by guarantee.

Directors are appointed and removed in accordance with the company's memorandum and articles of association by members at a general meeting. Existing directors may appoint directors at a meeting of the board.

None of the directors has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Responsibilities of trustees under company law

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

  1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

  2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

  3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

  5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE POCKET TESTAMENT LEAGUE LTD

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023 on pages 5 to 13 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 7 to 8.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Company’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 & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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 ACCOUNTS

COMPANY INFORMATION

1 Statutory Information

The Pocket Testament League Ltd is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Going concern The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

b) Income Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

Income from donations includes:

i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.

c) Expenditure Expenditure, including any VAT which cannot be recovered, is accounted for on an accruals basis and allocated to the appropriate heading in the accounts. Staff costs and other administration costs are allocated to support costs on the basis of time taken. Bookkeeping costs are allocated to the overseas activity on the basis of time taken. Governance costs include those incurred with the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Grants and donations payable are taken into account at the earlier of when they are paid or become legally enforceable.

d) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used.

e) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:-

Computers Over 3 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a
material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
