## **Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 30 September 2024** 

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024.  The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The purposes of The Mission Worldwide (TMW), as set out in the Company’s Memorandum of Association, are as follows: 

To provide development and support to local communities, primarily but not exclusively in developing countries, for the furtherance of the relief of poverty, the advancement of education and health care and other purposes beneficial to the community by the following means: 

- a) relief, development and building projects which seek to relieve human distress and need; and 

- b) community development programmes to provide improved education and other facilities for communities in need. 

TMW operates in Cambodia as an international NGO recognised by the Cambodian government.  Within the framework of the three main purposes set out in the governing document, i.e. relief of those in need, advancement of education, and advancement of healthcare, work in Cambodia focuses more narrowly on the issue of child sex slavery and human trafficking, with the aims of rescuing and restoring children who are abused, exploited or trafficked, and working with at risk individuals to prevent exploitation and abuse.  The organisation has a strong Christian ethos which shapes its vision and motivates staff and volunteers. 

The benefits flowing from TMW’s three main purposes include rescue of trafficked and abused children, prevention of harm to children at risk of trafficking and abuse, placement of rescued/at risk children in a secure setting, if possible with their own or an adoptive family; improved housing, nutrition, job security and income for families of at risk children; enhanced understanding by parents and children of risks of sexual exploitation and how to avoid it; enhanced understanding of basic hygiene; greater participation in formal education/training and improved educational standards; improved standards of hygiene and nutrition in beneficiary group; reduction in drug abuse/addiction in beneficiary group. 

TMW currently manages two main projects in Phnom Penh.  The Set Free Project is based in a Day Centre in two of the most impoverished communities in Phnom Penh where children and families are most at risk of being trafficked and abused.  The True Light Outreach provides support for children and families in one of Phnom Penh’s red-light areas. 

The projects are run by trained Cambodian staff supported by long- and short-term volunteers from several other countries.  Throughout the week staff lead Kids’ Clubs – in the Day Centre or on the pavements - where they organise games, provide food, and teach lessons on various topics, including   trafficking prevention, hygiene, and instruction in English and Khmer language.  The programme includes scripture teaching and worship in line with TMW’s Christian ethos.  Adult classes are also provided in line with TMW’s aim to reach families as a whole. 

TMW’s social work team regularly visit families to support and empower them into a better life.  They apply observational and interview techniques to children who are experiencing trauma or difficulty at home, and intervene appropriately to secure their safety.  They educate parents on the importance of sending their children to school, and financially support the children with uniforms and stationery at the start of term.  This includes practical help with children’s education, finances, accommodation, food, and clothing as well as spiritual encouragement and support. 

In some extreme cases TMW’s social workers partner with local authorities to rescue children, individuals and families being abused and/or trafficked.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 30 September 2024** 

## **Public benefit statement** 

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit and they believe that this has been met through the achievements outlined in this report. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## _Set Free Project_ 

For the Set Free Project the major development of the year was the opening of a second day-centre in December 2023 to accommodate the growing work with children and adults in the Samaki community.  In the past year increasing numbers of children and adults, including members of Phnom Penh’s Vietnamese community, have participated in the Kids’ Clubs and family education classes led by TMW staff at TMW’s two day-centres, as described under ‘Objects and Activities’ above. 

## _True Light Outreach_ 

TMW children’s workers continue to build relationships and offer support to children and their families through Kids’ Clubs on the footpaths of the red-light area where children are at extreme risk of abuse and trafficking. The Bar Outreach team visits bars and brothels to befriend and support the people who work there.  The primary aim is to offer friendship, and after that, through key partnerships with other organizations, a route into a different way of life for those who want it.  The property rented in mid-2023 has been an invaluable base for TMW’s work in this area. 

## _Stop for the One Child Sponsorship program_ 

Donations from Stop for the One sponsors funded the distribution of school uniforms, backpacks, and school supplies to more than fifty children across TMW’s three project locations in September 2024, enabling them to attend school and receive the education needed to empower them into a better life and future. 

## _Social Work_ 

TMW’s social workers continued to work across all projects to support children and families, as described under ‘Objects and Activities’ above. 

On one occasion a woman living in a community served by TMW was found in an alarmingly poor physical condition after giving birth.  It became clear that she had been left without proper post-natal care or medication to aid her recovery because her free medical care card had expired. TMW’s social workers arranged for a doctor to visit the mother and provide necessary treatment. In addition to medical care, TMW provided essential supplies for the mother and her new-born baby, including milk, food, and clothing.  The mother’s physical health improved, but the emotional toll was immense. TMW staff continued to offer emotional and pastoral support.  This case illustrates how the TMW team, by acting swiftly and comprehensively, is able to avert potentially tragic outcomes and provide holistic care for families in dire need. 

## _Outreach_ 

Improved finances and the assistance of visiting teams made it possible to organise a greater number of weekend outreaches to provincial villages in the past year.  The aim was to educate the community on the dangers of human trafficking, as these villages are often the target of traffickers.  Separate training sessions for adults and children offered guidance on how to stay safe.  There were fun activities, kids’ clubs, games, worship, and snacks, and children received school supplies and families were given food packages.

## _Rescue and cooperation with other organisations_ 

TMW staff continue to partner with other organisations, such as Agape International Missions (AIM), the Hard Places Community (HPC), Hope Foundation and Team Challenge, and with the authorities, to pass on information about cases of trafficking and exploitation which they receive in the course of their work.  In the past year information provided by TMW led to the rescue of several children and young people who had been trafficked, and in one case to the arrest and deportation of an abuser. 

In June 2024 TMW partnered with Operation Mobilisation and Doulos Hope to provide free eye tests and fittings for free glasses.  Forty people from the communities served by TMW were among over 500 who received free glasses.

The trustees are deeply grateful to every member of TMW’s team of staff and international volunteers for their vision, commitment, faithfulness, and hard work.  They have been greatly encouraged by the increased financial support for TMW during the past year, and offer heartfelt thanks to the leadership of Iris Global and Iris Global UK, and to the churches, organisations and individuals around the world who partner with us.  Our work would not be possible without their prayers and generous financial support.  Thank you also to the many teams and individuals who have visited our projects and shared in the work in Phnom Penh on short-term placements, giving support and encouragement to TMW’s clients and staff.

**Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 30 September 2024** 

## **1. General information** 

The company is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 151 Longmore Road, Ballymena, Co Antrim, BT43 7LS. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019)’, issued in October 2019 and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
