HAGGAI ADVANCED LEADERSHIP TRAINING LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

Objectives and activities

The charity’s main objectives are to advance the Christian Faith and train Christian men and women as Christian leaders, evangelists and teachers. The UK charity works with Haggai International in the USA whose role is to identify and, through intensive training sessions, develop existing non-western Christians in positions of leadership to be more effective in reaching their own people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It encourages those trained to pass on their training to at least 100 others within two years. As local leaders face no visa issues, speak the local language and fully understand the culture, they are far more effective and equally more cost effective in their own countries than outside agencies can be. This approach has proven to be an effective model of mission for the 21st Century and plays an important part in helping to end Gospel poverty.

The leadership training is delivered by highly experienced international faculty. Those selected for training are often in senior-level positions of influence and the Haggai Leader Experience has been described by those attending as life-transforming. Many go on to establish hospitals, relief organisations, schools and churches or operate in other fields depending on where their talents lie.

In the UK the charity, Haggai Advanced Leadership Training Limited, which operates under the name of Haggai International (formerly Haggai Institute) is the means to inform the Christian community in the UK about the work of developing Christian leaders. Through its activities, it channels funds to Haggai International in the USA for the sole purpose of enabling non-western leaders to attend the training courses. Haggai International USA has now, for cost reasons, closed it's main training centre in Maui. In response to the global Covid -19 pandemic, which resulted in restrictions on travel and meeting together, the on-line version of the Haggai Leader Experience (the Virtual Haggai Leader Experience) was developed andis still being run and continues to successfully enable the training to be delivered to a larger number of leaders. Alongside this, in-person training which resumed in 2023, continues. The main activity of the charity is to inform Christians about the activity of the ministry and to raise funds through the quarterly distribution of its informative magazine, Impact.

When reviewing the programme and planning future activities, the trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, always ensuring that the actions taken are in line with the charity's aims and objectives. The Mission and Vison statements of Haggai International are shown below:

Mission Statement: To equip and inspire strategically positioned leaders to more effectively demonstrate and present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to prepare others to do the same.

Vision Statement: Every nation redeemed and transformed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives The trustees again decided to continue to place Haggai International in the UK on a maintenance footing for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the charity has not organised any public events during the year. The UK trustees met twice during the year by video conferencing facilities and have continued a good working relationship and made regular contact with Halcyon which provides business administration for the charity.

The operating environment of the charity remains testing, but the Trustees are most grateful for the continuing interest and support of all donors. There are 66 active donors and 802 people and groups registered on the database. Core donors receive the “Impact” magazine four times a year.

Not withstanding the general environment and the consequent challenges, total donations amounted to £57,090 an increase of 9.71% compared to the previous year. Donations from individuals and churches were at a lower level compared to last year while £15,717, which is included in the total donations received, was donated by various trusts. However, year on year comparisons can be distorted by the impact that the timing of one-off donations has on annual trends. Costs have continued to be carefully controlled.

Throughout the year Rev Stephen Gaukroger continued in an honorary capacity in his role as Ambassador for Haggai International in the UK, representing the organisation in various ways as well as offering to provide recommendations to the Trustees. His objective is essentially to raise the profile of Haggai International and help make its ministry better known.

As a result of the Trustees continuing to place Haggai International UK on a maintenance footing, no social media platforms were re-established following the decision not to actively fundraise.

Financial review

Reserves policy

All expenses incurred in the UK are covered by the International Board of Trustees of the ministry and therefore the trustees do not consider it necessary to have a significant reserve fund. All local expenses are paid from the general UK bank account and re-imbursed monthly from the USA office in Atlanta.

Principal funding sources Income arises by way of donations from individuals, trusts and churches.

All expenses incurred in the UK are covered and reimbursed by the International Board of Trustees of the ministry in Atlanta. For this reason, all donations raised in the UK go fully towards the training of leaders.

Investment policy

Apart from small working current account, all funds are held in a NatWest Reserve account which pays interest.

The savings account shows a surplus of £72.34 compared to a surplus of £93.82 or the previous year. With all income being paid over to Haggai International Institute for Advanced Leadership Training Inc and all expenses reimbursed by the International Board of Trustees, the Net Income/ Expenditure on the General Fund will effectively break even, subject to adjustments in Debtors and Creditors/Accruals. Free Reserves at the year end totalled £1,912 (2024: £2,022). The total funds transferable to the international training fund at the end of the year was £58,647 (2024: £53,305) around 10.02% down on last year.

Plans for future periods

The UK Trustees continue to meet regularly either online or in person when possible to review progress and consider the future.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up on 19" November 1987. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The liability of each member in the event of the company being wound up is £1.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company jaw, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

C P Ellis (Chairman) R H Irvine

| Bald

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees, who are also directors of the company, are generally recruited from the existing supporter base of Haggai International and are known to be fully committed to the objectives and activities of the charity. They have business and professional backgrounds which provide a balanced combination of skilis and experience for undertaking their responsibilities.

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company, the directors are appointed for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

Trustee Induction and Training

When new trustees are appointed, they are invariably existing supporters of Haggai International and therefore acquainted with the work of the charity. Their knowledge is supplemented by background papers and reports as well as briefing sessions with existing trustees. Regular updating information regarding the work of Haggai International is also issued. The Haggai International website also contains much useful information.

Organisational Structure

Since September 2014 much of the business administration of the charity, including support and fundraising services, has been carried out by a Christian organisation specialising in the provision of such services. Initially, this work was undertaken by Yeomans but was transferred to Halcyon in March 2021.

There are internal systems and procedures in place which minimise the risk of the charity in the areas of finance and the authorisation of any expenditure.

Risk management

The trustees consider that, as all expenses are covered and guaranteed by the USA office, and all other income is transferred directly to the international training fund, there is no significant financial risk to the charity.

The trustees‘ report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 11 November 2024.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Charity information

Haggai Advanced Leadership Training Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 3, Burnt Oak Business Park, Waldron, Heathfield, East Sussex, TN21 ONL.

1.1. Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

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.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.8 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
