DIRECTORS REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Directors have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 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)” (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The C.S. Lewis Institute was established in Belfast in 2016, incorporated as CSLI (Belfast) Ltd on 20th April 2017 and seeks men and women to be part of the discipleship movement in the homeland of Lewis. The C.S. Lewis Institute in Belfast is devoted to developing disciples who can articulate, defend, share and live out faith in Christ in public and personal life; we are associated with the C.S. Lewis Institute in Washington D.C., which began in 1976 and stresses discipleship of heart and mind. The C.S. Lewis Institute works in partnership with local churches and ministries to help believers glorify God by becoming mature disciples of Jesus Christ who impact the spheres of influence to which God has called them. The Fellows programme follows a curriculum developed over several years by our colleagues in Washington. It is regularly reviewed and we, like other CSLI Cities are invited to offer any amendments.
The directors have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2).
Achievements and performance
On behalf of the CSLI (Belfast) Board of Directors, | have the privilege of introducing the 2024-25 Directors Report.
The Board met 7 times during the period, including a half-day strategy session, to pray and plan for the work of CSLI Belfast.
The 9th year of the CSLI Belfast Fellows Programme in 2024/25 has once again been eventful and blessed.
- The C.S. Lewis Institute Fellows Programme.
Fellows Recruitment
As always, we prayed for the Lord to help us gather those He was calling to deeper discipleship with Him.
We continued our policy of not charging any fees for ou Fellows Programme, as we believe that finances should never be a barrier for anyone seeking deeper discipleship with Christ. We simply asked that Fellows contribute to the cost of the Retreat, pay for their own books and consider giving to the work of CSLI Belfast, as par: of their charitable giving.
We were blessed with a group of what would eventually 9ecome 30 Fellows. Praise the Lord!
Our Fellows Programme followed our usual pattern and we were blessed by excellent speakers from both Northern Ireland and the USA.
Zoom Prayer
We continued to gather twice monthly for prayer via Zoom most months throughout the year, as we believe prayer to be an essential part of our ministry. Not only did the many from the CSLI Belfast community gather for prayer but we were also joined by many friends and speakers from the USA.
Edinburgh Satellite Programme Launched
In February 2025 we launched our first CSLI satellite city within the British Isles. CSLI Edinburgh will be under the direction of Belfast City Director Stuart Horner, with elements of the CSLI Belfast Fellows Programme facilitated in Edinburgh by Programme Facilitator ‘or CSLI Edinburgh Joy Hadden, who completed the Fellow’s Program with CSLI Belfast in 2022.

Distinguished keynote speakers - Prof Emeritus Jerry Root, Rev Dr Malcolm Guite and other leading lights in the world of C.S.

CSLI (BELFAST) LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information CSLI (Belfast) Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office is 6th Floor East Tower, Lanyon Plaza, 8 Lanyon Place, Belfast, BT1 3LP.
1.1. Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
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.
==> picture [74 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
1.2 Going concern
----- End of picture text -----
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3. Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
==> picture [419 x 236] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the
amounts can be neasured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
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 tre 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.
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. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the
portion of the asset's use.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful
lives on the following bases:
Computers 20% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the
carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.6 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there
is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any}.
1.7 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.
1.8 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other
Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recagnised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price
including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest metiod unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the
future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not
amaortised.

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 recognised initially at transact on price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using tre effective interest method.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and “‘uture periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
