Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 30 June 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Trust for the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors’ report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
Over the past year we have continued to achieve many good things in terms of fulfilling our charitable aims which are, to advance the Christian faith and the relief of sickness. We continue to partner with other individuals and organisations recognised for their work and experience in these areas.
We have taken instruction on both the Charities Act 2008 and the Companies Act 2006. The trustees have in particular considered the obligations regarding the public benefits test of the Charities Act 2008 and can confirm that the charity meets the criteria set down therein.
During the financial year the Trust had income of £1,169,611 (2024: £3,294,813) and expenditure of £1,679,524 (2024: £1,513,927).

During the financial year, £1,000,966 (2024: £3,201,175) of donations were received from related parties (related by virtue of common directors) as disclosed within Note 17 to the financial statements.

Trustees’ Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trust that reserves that have not been designated for a specific purpose should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six-months non-grant expenditure. The Trust considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Trust's current activities.
At the year-end total funds available to the Trust were £6,064,524 (2024: £6,451,002) of which £6,054,524 (2024: £6,441,002) has been designated to the future establishment of a nursing home. £10,000 was retained in General Funds in line with the Trust's reserve policy.

The Trust has been formally admitted as a charity for income tax purposes. The statutory reliefs under s.505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 are admissible on income subject to compliance with the terms of s.505 of the act.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
The Trustees are familiar with the practical work of the charity through their involvement with religious organisations.

New members receive the relevant governing documents, and financial reports, together with a set of policies which govern the management of the organisation.
e. Related party relationships
The following companies are deemed to be related parties by virtue of common control; Warmflow Engineering Co. Limited, KVS Group (UK) Limited and KVS Properties Limited. The Trust continues to work in partnership with Child Evangelism Fellowship in the pursuit of its charitable objectives.
f. Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
1. To advance the Christian faith
T3 Conference and Events Centre
The T3 facilities at the House of VicRyn remain a central part of how we put our charitable aims into practice. During 2025, nearly 500 events were hosted with close to 13,000 people attending. These gatherings ranged from faith-based conferences to initiatives encouraging generosity, compassion, and service. In addition, the centre continues to provide space for our health-focused partners to deliver education and awareness on key issues..
2. Relief of sickness
Our partnerships with health charities remain an important focus. This year we worked particularly closely with The Friends of the Cancer Centre and The Children’s Cancer Fund. Through these collaborations we have been able to extend practical and emotional support to those affected by cancer and their families.
The aspiration to establish a Nursing/Care Home is still very much on our longer term agenda. However, one of the potential sites under consideration continues to be leased, and we believe it is prudent to wait until conditions are more favourable before moving forward.
As in previous years, a portion of our funds not immediately required for charitable activity has been invested in a managed investment portfolio. This is reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains appropriate and responsible.
Members' liability
The Members of the Trust guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Trust in the event of winding up.
