## **Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026. 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 charitable object of Rural Missions is to enable and equip rural churches in God's mission by providing practical support, encouragement and resources to churches of all traditions across England and Wales.
The charity exists to help rural churches become increasingly confident in sharing the Christian faith and serving their communities. We seek to achieve this through church consultations, training events, conferences, practical resources, networking opportunities, coaching and strategic partnerships.
Throughout the reporting period, Rural Missions has continued to support churches of every size and tradition, recognising that effective mission in rural communities requires approaches that are locally appropriate, sustainable and rooted within each community.
In determining the charity's priorities and activities, the Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees believe that the activities of Rural Missions continue to provide clear public benefit.
By supporting churches to become increasingly active within their communities, the charity contributes to stronger community life, reduced isolation, increased volunteering, practical care for local residents and greater opportunities for people to explore the Christian faith.
The charity's work extends well beyond the churches we directly engage with, as those churches in turn serve thousands of people living within rural communities across England and Wales.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The fifteen-month reporting period has been one of the most significant in the history of Rural Missions, with continued organisational development, increasing national recognition and substantial growth in both ministry and organisational capacity.
Following the successful rebrand from Rural Mission Solutions, this has been the first full reporting period operating under the Rural Missions identity. During this time, the charity has continued to establish itself as a recognised national organisation serving rural churches across denominational boundaries.
Throughout the reporting period, Rural Missions has continued to provide tailored consultations, practical resources, speaking engagements, webinars, networking opportunities and ongoing support for churches across England and Wales. Churches have been equipped to develop locally appropriate mission initiatives, strengthen community engagement and grow in confidence as they seek to share the Christian faith within their rural contexts.
The Trustees are particularly pleased that the charity has continued to strengthen relationships with dioceses, denominations and national Christian organisations, resulting in an increasing number of invitations to contribute to conferences, leadership gatherings, training events and strategic conversations on rural mission.
A significant milestone during the reporting period was the merger of The Resources Cupboard into Rural Missions in June 2025. This brought together complementary ministries with a shared vision of supporting children's, youth and families ministry within rural churches. The integration has enabled the charity to expand both the breadth and depth of its support to churches by bringing together expertise, resources and experienced staff within one organisation.
During the period, the charity also became the successor organisation to Mission for Christ and Action for Christ. Whilst both charities had been largely dormant for a number of years, their trustees recognised that Rural Missions was well placed to continue their charitable legacy. These mergers were undertaken primarily to provide good stewardship of their remaining charitable assets, ensuring that funds originally given for Christian mission continue to be used effectively for charitable purposes through the ongoing ministry of Rural Missions.
The charity has also continued to expand its range of practical resources available to churches. New online materials, downloadable resources, videos, toolkits and training content have enabled churches to access support wherever they are located, further extending the charity's reach beyond face-to-face engagement.
Partnership working has become an increasingly important aspect of the charity's ministry. During the reporting period Rural Missions has worked alongside organisations including Bible Society, Church Army, Amplify, dioceses and other mission agencies to encourage collaboration rather than duplication in supporting rural churches.
The Trustees have also been pleased to begin working with a number of national partners to explore establishing LoveRural, a new national ecumenical conference designed to encourage, equip and connect those serving in rural ministry.
Planning has commenced during the reporting period, with the conference intended to provide a significant opportunity for rural practitioners from across denominations and organisations to learn together, share good practice and strengthen relationships in support of rural mission.
The Trustees remain encouraged by the growing number of churches engaging with Rural Missions and by the many examples of churches implementing new outreach initiatives, developing stronger community relationships and growing in confidence through the charity's support.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position**
At the year end the charity had total and unrestricted reserves of £402,031 (2024: £17,804).
The Trustees are pleased with the charity's financial performance during the reporting period.
Income continued to be received through a combination of grants, charitable trusts, churches, individual supporters and partner organisations. The continued generosity of these supporters has enabled the charity to expand its ministry whilst maintaining careful financial stewardship.
Expenditure during the period has primarily supported staffing, ministry delivery, resource development, travel, communications and organisational infrastructure necessary to sustain the charity's continued growth.
The Trustees continue to monitor financial performance closely throughout the year and remain committed to ensuring that the charity's resources are directed towards achieving its charitable objectives in an effective and sustainable manner.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the charity's reserves policy during the reporting period.
The charity seeks to maintain unrestricted free reserves of approximately 12 months' operating expenditure. This provides an appropriate level of financial resilience to enable the charity to manage unexpected changes in income or expenditure whilst ensuring that funds continue to be actively deployed in furtherance of the charity's charitable purposes.
The Trustees are satisfied that the reserves policy remains appropriate and review it regularly.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees have considered the charity's financial position, cash flow forecasts, reserves and anticipated future income.
Having reviewed these matters, the Trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue its operational activities for the foreseeable future. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Looking ahead, the Trustees intend to continue strengthening Rural Missions as a national resource for rural churches.
The charity will continue developing practical resources, expanding training opportunities and deepening partnerships with churches, dioceses and national Christian organisations. The Trustees also intend to continue broadening the charity's funding base to ensure long-term sustainability and enable increased support for rural churches across the United Kingdom.
Alongside this, the charity will continue working with partner organisations to establish the LoveRural Conference as a significant national ecumenical gathering that encourages collaboration, innovation and shared learning across the rural Church.
The Trustees believe Rural Missions is well placed to continue serving rural churches with confidence and purpose, whilst remaining faithful to its charitable objectives.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The Charity is incorporated and the trustees/directors are currently reviewing the existing Memorandum and Articles to ensure that these meet current requirements of the Charity Commission and Companies House, and are appropriate for the purposes for which the Charity was established.
The liability of each member is limited to a maximum of £10. The total number of members at 31 March 2026 was 6.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
New Trustees are appointed by the Board in accordance with the governing document. Prospective Trustees are selected based upon the skills, knowledge and experience required to strengthen the Board, and receive an appropriate induction into the work of the charity together with guidance on their legal responsibilities as charity trustees.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and has overall responsibility for the governance, financial oversight, strategic direction and legal compliance of the charity.
The day-to-day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, who leads the staff team and implements the strategic direction agreed by the Trustees and regularly reports to the Trustees.
The Trustees recognise the importance of maintaining a broad range of experience and expertise within the Board.
Trustee recruitment is undertaken as required, with appointments made following careful consideration of the skills and experience needed to support the charity's continued development.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rural Missions Ltd**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rural Missions Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026.
## **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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and 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 Financial Statements for the Period 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2026**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
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 if the amount is known and receipt expected.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 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.
## **Governance costs**
Accountancy costs within governance costs include the following:
£240 for the provision of policies for the charity by Wright Vigar.
£500 for the completion of independent examination by Wright Vigar.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Financial instruments**
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
