#### LOVE RUSSIA LIMITED TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Trustees' report and financial statements 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 30 June 2025. 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 Our Mission 'Suppose there are brothers and sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. What good is there in saying, 'God bless you' If you don't give them the necessities of life?' James 2 v 15 & 16 Love Russia is a charity that is committed to improving the lives of orphaned children, destitute young people, and adults in crisis, including those with disabilities and learning difficulties. Our aim is to provide relief of poverty, suffering and distress by demonstrating practical Christian compassion and, where appropriate, sharing the Christian faith. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act in that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. Our Aims Transforming Lives: Our mission is to transform the lives—both physically and emotionally—of orphans, destitute young people, adults in crisis, and those with learning difficulties or physical disabilities who have suffered due to abandonment, neglect, abuse, poverty, illness, or lack of education. Partnering for Change: We work in effective partnership with Russian Christians to make a meaningful difference to those in need and promote social change within their local communities. Cultural Sensitivity: We are committed to working alongside our Russian partners with compassion and cultural sensitivity, respecting their privacy and needs without judgment. Stewardship of Resources: We ensure every contribution—whether time, money, or goods—is used effectively, demonstrating good stewardship of resources. Supporter Engagement: We prioritise keeping our supporters informed and updated on our activities and progress wherever possible. We also strive to encourage prayer from UK supporters for their Christian brothers and sisters in Russia. Our Approach Prayer is a valuable part of our ministry and it has a powerful impact on all we do. We publish a regular and specific prayer diary and send out alerts for any emergency situation. None of our work would be possible without the steadfast prayer of Love Russia supporters. During the 2024-25 financial year, we continued a regular Zoom prayer group to pray for needy people in Russia, and the nation’s emerging needs during this time of conflict and crisis. We are dependent on voluntary income and through general donations we are often able to respond quickly whenever a need arises, as well as continue our work helping to tackle the underlying problems experienced by orphans and destitute young people. Regular donors enable us to make longer term plans and commitments.
Achievements and performance Charitable Activities Currently, our primary services include: Partnering with Russian Christians to bring practical help, love, and hope to those in desperate need in their communities in western Russia. Supporting and caring for those raised in the orphanage system, with a particular focus on caring for orphanage leavers who have become mothers and are living in poverty. Providing support to two Christian-led crisis centres: one for men, and one for women and children. These centres assist destitute mothers (often orphans), recovering addicts, victims of domestic violence, and their children. Offering support to children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds through a youth group, events, and a workshop for those with disabilities. Supplying essential equipment such as clothing, beds, showers, toilets, and mobility aids to those in need. Offering emergency funding for essential medical treatments when individuals cannot afford them. Supporting a Soup Kitchen providing basic food needs to vulnerable adults. Love Russia works closely with all projects and strong relationships are built up over time since the early 1990’s with regular country visits. The regular monitoring trips have not been taking place since recently due to instability in the region with the war in Ukraine. There is weekly contact with partners, including regular Zoom meetings take place with partners to receive project updates and to ensure project updates are still being met. It remains an aspiration of the charity to restart in-country visits as soon as it is safe to do so. There is more information on our website at www.loverussia.org and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LRCharity. Support Groups There are currently 7 community-based support groups, run by trusted Russian Christians. These benefit orphanage graduates, orphan mums and young people from impoverished homes. These groups vary but aim to provide emotional, financial and life skills support. Two of the groups support orphan mothers, who receive a monthly bursary of 3,000 to 4,000 roubles throughout the year. Additional funding has been provided for mothers wishing to enrol their children in extra-curricular activities. This aims to increase the variety of events the children from these groups can attend, helping to minimise any disadvantages they may face compared to their peers. Individuals in these groups are also able to request emergency funding should they face medical treatment they cannot afford to pay for. Another of these groups, known as ‘Open Hearts Youth Group’ continued to be supported during the 2024-25 financial year. The aim of this group is to support children and young people from impoverished backgrounds and/or those with parents who are addicts. It provides life-skills, emotional support, food and fun as well as being a safe space to share with a trusted adult. One of these projects supported children still living in an orphanage, and another supported young people living in a residential college. These projects both provide fun relief from the environment of their institutions and provide essential relationships with adults living in the community. These seven groups supported approximately 27 women, three men, and 91 children and young people. Crisis Centres Part of Love Russia’s aim is to prevent more children being needlessly placed into orphanages when vulnerable mums begin to struggle with various issues including poverty, addictions, and domestic violence. As part of our aim to preserve struggling families, we support the running costs of the Women’s Crisis Centre in Volkhov, a large, industrialised city in the north of the country. In 2024-25, we continued supporting the Men’s Crisis Centre, a project in need of development and support, on the same site as the Women’s Crisis Centre. This provides emergency refuge to men facing homelessness as well as long-term rehabilitation for men battling addictions. The two crisis centres provided refuge to around 20 men, 20 women and 30 children at any one time in the 2024-25 financial year. Empowering People with Disabilities We continued to support a project for young people with disabilities in Moscow. This rare facility provides 11 people with a vocational education, the chance to socialise and receive the love and care of the partner who runs the project. Love Russia’s support enables the young people, who live in poverty, the chance to have a hot meal while they are at the centre. Love Russia’s partner who has run this project for 30 years decided to retire at the end of financial year. Her work is being taken on by a local charity who will continue to support those who have benefitted from the workshop for so many years. Love Russia is extremely grateful both to their partner who has kept this work going for so many years, as well as to the local charity who will keep it going into the future. Transition Homes We also supported the running of one transition home. The rents in this home are significantly subsidised for young people who cannot afford typical rent rates due to surviving on such low incomes. During the course of the financial year, it became apparent that needs of young people in the area of the transition home have changed significantly. Therefore, support for this home was terminated at the end of January 2025. Legacy Lodge During 2024-25, Love Russia continued developing Legacy Lodge, an offshoot of the Crisis Centres and Open Hearts Youth Group. This 24/7 refuge will support local young people facing abuse, parental addiction, or poverty, providing care, guidance, and practical resources. Love Russia committed to funding the construction of the centre in July 2023, with an initial fundraiser raising almost £32,000. Due to challenges with the Russian economy, and the increased cost of both materials and labour, the build is still ongoing. One-Off Projects We continue to support one-off projects as and when needs arise, in particular: Medical needs Building projects (including furnishings for buildings) Medical Fund Throughout the financial year we have responded to numerous medical needs for vulnerable people who are unable to afford lifesaving medical care. Over £10,000 was spent on emergency medical care, including life-saving heart surgery for a one-year-old at the Women’s Crisis Centre, hernia surgery for a young boy, and cancer treatment for an adolescent. Additionally, ongoing medical care was funded for vulnerable orphan mums. Overseas Expenditure Money transfer processes bear risks, and we have taken appropriate steps to manage these. We have risk assessed the processes used to transfer money and have checked that we are fully legally compliant in all aspects. Monies are transferred within regular bank systems and through cash couriers, money service business, online payments. We have a full record of how much was transferred through each system. We monitor oversees expenditure by requesting quotes for work and Love Russia then monitors the expenditure through collection of receipts, photographic evidence and personal visits when the work can be inspected. Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine Since 24th February 2022, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had a significant impact on the operational activities of the charity. Due to safety risks and FCDO advice not to travel to Russia, monitoring trips have continued to be on hold. Despite this, contact with Russian partners has been maintained through regular Zoom meetings The war in Ukraine, combined with the cost-of-living crisis in the UK, has significantly impacted the charity’s fundraising efforts. To navigate these challenges, increased efforts are being made to raise awareness of the hardships faced by ordinary Russians, who are struggling more than ever due to rising living costs, loss of business, and the pressures they face given the current wider situation. The charity has also worked on reminding Christians in the UK that we are ‘all one in Christ’, which includes brothers and sisters in Russia. At the same time, the charity is sensitive to the ongoing situation in Ukraine, ensuring that all publicity and fundraising efforts are handled with care and respect for those affected by the conflict. Furthermore, the war in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the 2024-25 accounts. Cash couriers have not been able to be utilized as much during this whole financial year and alternative methods were found. Future Hopes We aim to continue alleviating poverty, suffering, and distress by demonstrating practical Christian compassion and, where appropriate, sharing the Christian faith through projects that benefit vulnerable orphanage leavers, destitute young people, and families in crisis. Additionally, we remain hopeful about expanding our work in Russia and committing to new projects, including a soup kitchen project.
Financial review Financial Structure The projects and designated funding streams are categorised as follows: Support groups Crisis centres Empowering people with disabilities Transition homes Legacy Lodge Volkhov building project Medical fund Reserves Policy It is the policy of the charitable company that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for specific use, should be maintained at a level equivalent to approximately three months of essential expenditure, including all ‘Caring for People in Russia’ project costs. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding or adverse movements in exchange rates, they will be able to continue the charitable company’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. It should be noted that at the end of the financial year, there were over £85,000 in the charity’s main current account, as well as reserves and savings accounts. This means that some of the funds held would not be protected by the FSCS should the bank fail. The trustees deemed the risk to be low but are doing their best to open new bank accounts to reduce risk. However, due to the current climate—both Russia’s unfavourable reputation due to the war in Ukraine and the economic situation in the UK leading to lower risk appetites—many banking applications have been rejected. The trustees will continue to work to protect and preserve the charity’s resources.
Structure, governance and management Governing Document The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust dated 1 June 2001 and amended 1 July 2004, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees The trustees meet quarterly to administer the charity. The management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of the charity. No trustee held any interest in the company during the year ended 30 June2024. Trustees identify training needs to carry out the effective governing of the Charity and attend these, reporting back to trustee meetings. The charity is actively seeking to recruit new trustees through our supporter network. Organisational Structure Throughout the financial year 2024-25 Love Russia had 4 staff members (2 part-time, 2 full-time) who deal efficiently with requests for publicity, speaking engagements, donation administration, producing materials for the publications, and who are responsible for the website and developing ideas for fundraising campaigns. The work is fully supported by a team of volunteers enabling translation, interpretation, proofreading and newsletter mail outs. During the financial year, one part-time staff member resigned and was replaced by a new part-time staff member two months later. Management ensures legal compliance in all aspects of the charity’s registration and work practices. Risk Management The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees keep this process under regular review. Travel, safeguarding, and office safety policies are all current. The primary risks arise from the geopolitical climate, leading to the following challenges: A reduction in donations, impacting the charity’s ability to maintain expenditure and uphold its reserves policy. Uncertainty caused by foreign exchange rate fluctuations and inflation in Russia, affecting the cost of projects. The potential for fraud, including the misuse or misdirection of assets due to inadequate financial controls or dishonesty in Russia. The potential reluctance of UK organisations, particularly in the banking industry, to support the charity’s operations due to concerns about working in Russia and the associated risks, which may fall outside their risk appetite. These risks are regularly monitored, and appropriate measures are taken to address them when necessary. This include remaining aware of, and compliant with government sanctions upon Russian individuals or entities. During the 2024–25 financial year, significant risks materialised when the charity’s main bank gave 60 days’ notice of the closure of its account. This posed a serious threat to the charity’s entire work. The bank did not provide any form of switching service, which meant that over 250 regular donations to the charity could have ceased overnight. Thanks to the hard work of the staff team and the trustees, a new bank account was secured, and over 70% of regular donations were retained. The trustees continue to explore the opening of additional bank accounts to mitigate risk in the future. Reserves Policy The main purpose of our reserves is to meet our statutory and contractual liabilities, and the trustees continue to review the appropriate level of reserves required annually. In practice this means ring-fencing at least 3 months of UK running costs, and aiming to have 3 months worth of project costs available.
Trustees The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: J Ball D Bradley C Doubleday W Lindsell K Mair S Wisbey C Worland
Trustees' responsibilities statement The trustees, who are also the directors of Charity For Love Russia Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

#### LOVE RUSSIA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
## 1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.
### 1.1 Basis of preparation These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.
### 1.2 Going concern The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
### 1.3 Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
### 1.4 Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
### 1.5 Other trading income Other trading income from non-charitable sources is recognised over the period to which it relates, Any relating to future periods is deferred.
### 1.6 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. It is inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. Direct costs are those costs which directly attribute to its activities. Wages and salaries are allocated to direct costs based on an estimate of time spent on charitable activities by staff members. Support costs include staff costs and are those which do not produce a direct output. Staff costs relate to specific activities and this is reflected in the allocation of payroll costs based on the percentage of time spent. All costs, including governance costs, are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are charged directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Support costs and overheads have been calculated by allocating staff time to the level of involvement in the various activities of the Charity.
### 1.7 Pensions The Charity makes contributions to defined contribution pension schemes through auto enrolment. These contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year in which they become payable.
### 1.8 Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.
### 1.9 Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees 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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
### 1.10 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets, such as land and buildings, plant, vehicles and equipment, are held to provide an on-going economic benefit to a charity through their contribution, directly or indirectly, to the provision of goods or services by the charity. Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Name | Rate (%) | Method
Equipment | 25% | Straight line on cost
### 1.11 Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
### 1.12 Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
### 1.13 Current asset investments The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
