INTERFAITH IN ACTION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07511477)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024


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 year ended 31 January 2024. 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
Interfaith in Action objectives are to:

- Advance any or all of the religious faiths of the world;
- Promote knowledge and mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs and practices of different religious faiths;
- Advance religious education and promote awareness of religious faith and faiths, in particular to advance the research, study and better understanding of the distinctive features of the religious faiths of the world and similarities between them; and
- Such other charitable activities as the trustees in their discretion think fit.

Public benefit
Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the advancement of the education of the public in faith and development. This may take any of the following forms:

- The promotion of mutual understanding of religious faiths.
- Supporting of religious education and activities beyond the boundaries of individual faiths, and
- To engage in activities that harness the energies of faith communities.

To achieve these goals, the charity anticipates periodically undertaking a variety of fund raising events and activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We will review our aims, objectives and activities each year. The review looks at what we achieved in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups or individuals we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees will consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Review of the period and future developments
The Trustees continue to promote the aims of the charity and to explore opportunities regarding projects and the funding thereof.

The Charity anticipates the efforts of the Trustees to come to fruition in due course in the realms of multi faith meetings with various organisations. The funds for sponsoring of projects it is intended will follow from this.

Along with many charities and society in general, for part of the period under review the charity has been affected by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Trustees' abilities to achieve any intended projects and funding continued to be challenging in the period. It is hoped that ongoing activities and opportunities will bear fruit in time.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. This review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves, presently all an unrestricted fund.

The review concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupting ongoing commitments as well as ad hoc projects, a general reserve needs to be maintained. As at 31 January 2024 this reserve had not been established reflecting the present low level of activity. The level of reserve will be reviewed regularly to ensure sufficient funding from the principal benefactor whilst finding new donors for specific project as well as exploring alternate forms of fund raising.
