The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the advancement of the Christian Faith in accordance with the theological basis of the Thity Nine Articles of Religion, in particular by the following means= (a) To finance and hold a near annual lecture "The Clive West Memorial Lecture" promoting theological topics closely associated with Clive's emphases during his lifetime in ministry, or alternatively reflecting his interest in mission., (b) To provide financial support either for ministry training or alternatively the theological education of any individual committed to seNice as a Pastorl Teacher within the Church, whether in Ireland or elsewhere, the theological basis of which is in acLordance with the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion, where any such individual is not already eligible to receive significant financial assistance from another source or sources., and (c) To provide financial support to any other individual engaged or seeking to engage in church planting, youth or overseas ministry, the theological basis of which is in accordance with that encompassed by the Thity Nine Articles of Religion.

The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees, Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 May 2023 www.westtrust.co.uk Achievements and performance Following on from a season where there were few in-person events, our activities have seen a welcome return to in-person events. The annual lecture series in 2022, was with the Rev Dr Tim Ward, lecturer in Theology at Oak Hill Theological College, London. This saw around 70 people gather in St Nicholas, Church halls, Cadogan Park, Belfast. for his lecture on reading the Bible. His specific area of expertise is hermeneutics, having contributed to work on this discipline from an evangelical's perspective. Again, the profile of those attending encouraged the trustees and reassured that the work of the trust in its offer of an annual lecture is still appreciated and valued by a wider constituency. Especially notable, again, is the younger age profile of attendees. Financial review The Trust's income for the year totalled £12,402 (2022 £10,691), which was derived from charitable donations, gift aid and interest. Expenditure for the year totalled £6,395 (2022 £11,240) and was spent mainly providing financial support for theological education. At the year end, the charity had reserves of £21,18912022 £15,182) which will enable the Trust to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Plans for future periods Going fotward the Trust looks fotward to having Rev Rico Tice in November 2023. The Trust also looks forward to having further applications for support in bursary towards ministry training. It is a particular encouragement that we have been approached by at least two young people who have indicated a desire towards service on this island and are seeking ministry training towards effective biblical ministry. The trustees are grateful to God for these encouragements. Another element of the Trust's development is towards the 'widening of the funnel, of those for whom ministry and ministry training ought to be a possibility. This will involve networking with church youth groups and other ministries (mostly parachurch) to create a training network and the organisation and delivery of a teaching programme. This, we hope, will launch proper in September, 2024. As trustees we appreciate the financial support of the many who have contributed to the work of the Trust and are thrilled as to the interest demonstrated by attendance at the various lectures and those approaching the Trust for support. All in all, we are grateful to God for his sustaining, provision and encouragement. Reserves Policy The charity's policy is to retain a level of free reseNes which match the needs of the organisalion both at the current time and in the foreseeable future. The charity will continue to monitor compliance with this policy and the trustees will regularly review the appropriateness of the policy.

The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 May 2023 General information The charitable company is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland and a registered charity in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 9 Kincora Avenue, Belfast, Co. Antrim, BT4 3DW, Northern Ireland. Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland,, the 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 1021 (Charities SORP IFRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. Accounting policies Basis of preparation These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified, where appropriate, by the recognition of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the charity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below. The charity's functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling. Going concern After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 10
The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 May 2023 Accounting policies (continuedj Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant Judgements To be a key judgement, the subject matter must relate to something other than assumptions about the future or making estimates and typically relate to significant issues in applying accounting standards where the Trustees applied judgement in situations where a different judgement might have led to a materially different accounting treatment. The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that the Trustees have made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows.. Going Concern The Trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements, there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In arriving at this conclusion, the Trustees have taken account of current and anticipated income and outgoings in the current economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, and its reserves position. For this reason, the going concern basis continues to be adopted in the preparation of the charity's financial statements. Key Sources of Esfimation Uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. They are, by nature, subjective and result in a risk that a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities may be required as a result of changes in those assumptions or estimates in the next period. The Trustees consider that no key estimates have made in the prOsS of applying the charity's accounting policies in the financial statements. Taxation The Trustees consider that all income received and expenditure incurred is related to the company's charitable objects and, hence, the charity is not subject to corporation tax on any surpluses. 11
The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 May 2023 Accounting policies (continued) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of 0 sub-classes.. restricted income funds or endowment funds. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity,. it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income-. income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of serVIS is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 12
The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 May 2023 Accounting policies (continued) Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non- charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Donated services It is not possible to reasonably quantify the value of the services provided by volunteers to the Trust and, therefore, donated services are not recognised in the financial statements. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charitable company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or reiVed and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequent5y measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 13
The Clive West Memorial Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (contlnued) Year ended 31 May 2023 Accounting policies (contlnued) Financial instruments (continued) Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously bee.n recognised.
