Trustee's Report For the Year Ended 31st May 2025

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31st May 2025.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

Objects and aims

The purposes of the charity are to advance the Christian faith by empowering Central Eurasian nationals and to relieve poverty in that region of the world.

Our aim is to support the work of Divitia University (DGU) in Moldova by raising funds, finding sponsors for and teaching several times in the year as well as introducing new teachers to the school's staff and students. We also make studies available to other similar institutions anywhere in Asia, Africa and elsewhere.

Occasionally we help peoples from Eurasia who are under persecution financially because of their faith and work. We run seminars for local churches and study groups to help them understand the history, beliefs and practice of Islam and its many and various forms. We aim to help Muslims and Christians gain a better understanding of each other. The translation of books by Don McCurry is underway with a grant from him and others.

Public Benefit

The objectives and activities undertaken by the charity are set with the public benefit in mind. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the· requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

The Eurasia Education Foundation (EEF) is committed to fostering theological and educational development across Eurasia, with a special focus on Central Asia. Our work local leaders, and developing partnerships to support the indigenous church. This year has been marked by both deep sorrow and significant progress. We mourned the loss of one of our key team members, while advancing in our mission to equip leaders through publications, partnerships, and global collaboration.

With great sadness, we record the sudden death of Mark Aldrich, our Chief Grant Writer, in June 2024. Mark's tireless work in resourcing the Foundation over the years cannot be overstated. His passing created a profound gap in both our funding efforts and the daily encouragement he brought to the team.

His legacy remains in the many grants he helped secure and, in the vision, he shared felt for a better-resourced, better-equipped church in Eurasia. The impact of his death was deeply felt in our fundraising capacity this year, with several proposals left incomplete and potential partnerships delayed. Plans are underway to honor his memory through the establishment of the Mark Aldrich Memorial Fund to support future grant-writing and scholarship efforts.

Trustee's Report For the Year Ended 31st May 2025

Despite the challenges, EEF made steady progress in our core ministry of translation:

• Four new titles were translated into Uzbek, expanding our growing library of contextual theology and discipleship materials for the Uzbek-speaking church. It was Chris Wright’s book “ The Old Testament in Seven Sentences”

• We launched new translation projects into Dari and Russian, with three works currently in progress in each language. “Stepping Stones” by Don McCurry was published in Macedonian. This led to distribution teams in Macedonia and Germany where several communities of Macedonian Muslims Gypsies live with a view of establish study groups and new churches.

• The Foundation remains committed to producing high-quality, relevant theological materials that reflect local culture and realities, particularly in areas relating to Islam, missions, and social ethics.

• To assist in this approach papers were produced on various theological insights into crow cultural studies. Chief amongst them being “The Unknown Christ”

• A seminar on Muslim Christian relationships was held at All Saints church in Crowborough

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Ana Lopes as Series Editor for our literary and theological publications. Ana brings deep editorial experience and cultural sensitivity to the role. She is currently overseeing our new series of books exploring:

• Contextual Islamic-Christian theological works aimed at leaders in the global South Ana’s leadership ensures consistency, theological depth, and cultural accessibility across our publications.

A local Ukrainian lady joined us for office work and she proved very able in organisation, checking Russian drafts and tracking translation work through to organising the library.

Plans are underway for Farid, one of our leading regional coordinators, to visit the United Kingdom in 2025. The aim is to:

This visit will be instrumental in bridging the work being done in Eurasia with our broader donor and academic community in the UK.

We continued supporting widows and children in Afghanistan monthly as requested by the diffractor of Afghanistan to known needs. One man and his mother fled to Iran after severe beating causing him to lose an eye. He still needs care and attention. Two leaders were murdered for running schools for girls.

The loss of Mark, the increased needs in Afghanistan, vital translation work and the raising. general economic climate ran our resources down but also prompted fresh approaches to fund

The coming year will focus on:

We are deeply grateful to all our donors, trustees, volunteers, and partners.

Their generosity and faithfulness sustain the mission of EEF. We continue to ask for your prayers and support as we navigate this time of loss, transition, and opportunity.

Financial review

As with previous years, grants have been sent to the DGU to support its work. The purpose of the charity is to raise funds primarily for Divitia Gratiae University (DGU) in Moldova.

Notes to the Accounts

For the Year Ended 31st May 2025

1 CHARITY STATUS

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of the registered office is - Golzar, Green Lane, Crowborough, TN6 2DE

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Pratice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Eurasia Education Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

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.

EURASIA EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Notes to the Accounts

For the Year Ended 31st May 2025

2 Accounting policies (continued)

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 willbe fulfilled in the reporting period. Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.

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.

Grant expenditure

Grants to individuals and institutions are made to fulfil the objectives of the charity. Grants are committed when funds are available.

Grant provisions

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the Charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management and Trustee's meetings and reimbursed expenses.

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 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 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

Office equipment

Depreciation method and rate 33% straight line

For the Year Ended 31st May 2025

2 Accounting policies (continued)

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 costusing 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.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand 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 untonditional 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.

Fund structure

Unrestricted Income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees; discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity Instrument ls any contract that evidences a residual Interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which transaction costs), except for is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset In the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
