| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The objects for which the company is established are the advancement of the Christian religion in particular but not exclusively by :- |
| a) Providing materials to Christians in India to accomplish their goals in ministry; |
| b) Providing educational and training programmes that enable these individuals to plant |
| worshipping groups; |
| c) Obtaining income generation grants that enable these individuals and their supporting |
| workers to become self-sustaining in material distribution and the planting of |
| worshipping groups. |
| The main activity is to fundraise throughout the UK in order to carry out the main objectives in India. Fundraising activities are undertaken mostly through mail to existing donors with regular giving encouraged through the use of standing orders. The council seek to expand the donor list through targeted mailings as well as promotions through personal contact. |
| The main programmes supported in India are :- |
| - Children's Bible Clubs |
| - Adult Literacy Classes |
| - Church Planter Training |
| - Relief |
| Public benefit |
| When considering what projects to support, the council have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. |
| Volunteers |
| All council members are volunteers. In addition a number of donors provide their time and effort in a voluntary manner to promote awareness of Mission India and its objectives. |
| The contribution of volunteers is greatly valued. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Mission India had a good year considering the ongoing financial climate; however, income was less favourable than the previous year. Nevertheless, the number of supporters grew throughout the year, highlighting the success of ongoing work to increase awareness in the UK, and we are appreciative of every supporter giving sacrificially to make the ministry possible. |
| Likewise, there was a considerable increase in the number of new prayer supporters thanks to successful campaigns equipping supporters with our founder's book and encouraging them to pray for India. We see this as a vital part of our work, and essential to the success of the programme work in India., |
| This year marked our first official event, which significantly boosted awareness of Mission India's work. The event was attended by prominent figures, including government officials, entrepreneurs, and other influential leaders. |
| There continued to be a significant desire to support relief work in response to persecution incidents which continue to escalate at an alarming rate. The general feeling is that people in the UK are not aware of the challenges Indian believers face and so we continue to spread awareness and highlight key issues. |
| All projects supported in India continued to run at a high success rate, with 99% of outcomes achieved with exceptions relating to unforeseen circumstances. In total £280,039 was granted to projects in India, providing educational and wellbeing support for children, literacy education for adults to help them escape poverty, Bible training for Indian believers and relief support for victims of persecution attacks. |
| Our partners in India continue to have high levels of financial integrity with no concerns raised throughout the year. We are very blessed to have such incredible partners, and we thank God for them. |
| And we thank our donors for their commitment to our cause. We are aware of so many who give from the very little they have, and we are greatly appreciative of that sacrifice. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| The results for the year are reported in the Statement of Financial Activities on Page 6. |
| Total donations and legacies received this year are lower at £522,198, (2024 £614,316) this is partly due a significant one-off gift in the previous year which boosted income. |
| The trustees have established a general reserves policy to ensure that Mission India can maximise the programme impact for beneficiaries and maximise the value of net income. General reserves provide some protection to the organisation and its charitable programme, providing time to adjust to changing financial circumstances. |
| The trustees prepare an annual budget which is monitored at their quarterly meetings. Taking into account the day to day running costs and future funding requirements, it was decided to continue with £75,000 as a reasonable figure to hold in reserves, equating to approximately three months of anticipated expenditure. |
| This limits the risk to programme work in India in the event of a downturn in some of Mission India's various sources of income or an unexpected need for additional expenditure. This policy also provides parameters for future strategic plans, contributes towards decision making, and influences Mission India's ways of working. |
| The level of unrestricted funds at the year-end was £61,410, this is lower than budget as it was agreed by the trustees to expend below the reserve limit to maximise funds to programme. These resources will be recuperated in the first few months of the next financial year. |
| The trustees consider that Mission India has adequate resources to fulfil its immediate future obligations. We continue to seek to control expenditure where possible without jeopardising Mission India's ability to fulfil its aims and objectives. The work of supporting the work in India is regarded as a long-term commitment and further awareness campaigns will be needed to increase support in the longer term. |
| The principal sources of funds for the work of Mission India are the gifts of supporting organisations and individuals. Legacies form an important but unpredictable additional source of income. It remains an objective of the Trustees to close the gap between income from donations and expenditure. The global economic situation continues to affect Mission India's financial position, particularly through rising costs. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. |
| FUTURE PLANS |
| The Council will continue to promote the work of the Charity to increase support for specific projects and build on the increased supporter base of the last two years. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The company was incorporated on 21 December 1998 as a private company limited by guarantee, with the liability of each member limited to £1. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is also registered with the Charity Commission. |
| Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
| Members are elected by ordinary resolution as a matter of ordinary business. The minimum number of members is three, but there is no limit on the number of members. Every member shall either sign a written consent to become a member or sign the register of members on becoming a member. |
| The affairs of the company are managed by a Council whose number shall be not less than three. At every annual general meeting one third of the council shall retire by rotation, but if the vacancy is not filled, the retiring member shall if willing to act be deemed to be reappointed. |
| The council shall elect from their number a Chairman who shall hold office for three years. Any member of the council who has previously held office as Chairman shall be eligible for re-election to that office but shall not consecutively hold that office for more than two terms. |
| The council meets formally at least four times a year with regular financial reporting on a monthly basis. |
| The council works closely with our sister organisation based in Michigan, USA, as they have set up all the necessary systems and procedures to oversee the work in India and this enables the council to monitor the proper use of their grants. All members of the council have been to see the work in India and the office of the local partner, who assesses all applications to run the individual programmes, ensures proper training of volunteers and teachers and oversees the production of the teaching materials. Proper accountability and reporting procedures have also been implemented for each programme so the council are confident that all grants from the UK are properly used in carrying out the supported programmes. |

Basic classroom supplies, such as chalkboards and lanterns are also provided. |
| Relief Fund |
| Persecution in India continues to escalate, and events like those in Manipur have left countless families without basic necessities or shelter. Many People have lost their homes and are struggling to survive under dire conditions, with limited access to food and clean water. This situation has created an urgent need for relief efforts to support those vulnerable communities. |
| In response we have enabled our ministry partners to assemble and distribute relief packs, which contain essential items such as water, sanitary and hygiene goods, and medicines to treat common illnesses and prevent the spread of disease. Through these efforts, we aim to alleviate the suffering of those affected by persecution and displacement and remind them they are not alone. |
