Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2025

History and Constitution

Alleyn's College of God's Gift

Edward Alleyn, a successful actor manager and entrepreneur, purchased the Manor of Dulwich in 1605. Some years later, he decided to create a charitable foundation in Dulwich, endowing it with his estate and other property. Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift was the first of the buildings to be completed, being consecrated on 1 September 1616. Letters patent were granted by King James I, and on 21 June 1619 Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift was formally established.

The original beneficiaries were twelve poor scholars, six poor brothers and six poor sisters, all chosen from four parishes with which Alleyn was closely associated: St Botolph’s Bishopsgate (where he was born); St Saviour’s Southwark (where he had lived and been Churchwarden); the parish of St Giles Cripplegate (where his Fortune Theatre was situated); and the parish of Camberwell, in which his Manor lay.

The Dulwich College Act of 1857 reconstituted the Foundation and in 1882 the Charity was re organised. The Upper School became Dulwich College and the Lower School became Alleyn’s School. Two boards of trustees were formed: the Estates Governors, with responsibility for managing the Estate’s property, investments and the Eleemosynary branch (Edward Alleyn House comprising sixteen flats benefitting the elderly in need of housing); and the College Governors to administer Dulwich College, Alleyn’s School, Christ’s Chapel and Dulwich Picture Gallery.

New arrangements for both Boards were introduced by Schemes approved by the Charity Commissioners on 31 July 1995. The Boards of Estates Governors and College Governors ceased to exist on that day. With effect from 1 August 1995 the functions of the Board of Estates Governors were assumed by the Trustees of The Dulwich Estate (as regards the properties, investments and other activities of the Estate) and by the Trustees of the Dulwich Almshouse Charity (as regards the Eleemosynary Branch). Separate boards of trustees came into existence for Dulwich College and for Alleyn’s School, a new and separate Board of Trustees of Dulwich Picture Gallery having been formed earlier in the year. Under a separate Scheme, the Trustees of The Dulwich Estate also became the Trustees of the Charity Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift at Dulwich. In 1998 The Dulwich Estate Trustees became an incorporated body by an Order of the Charity Commission.

Object

The Trustees are committed to continuing to maintain Christ’s Chapel at Dulwich as a place of public worship and for the Foundation Schools and the residents of the Dulwich Almshouse in accordance with the rites of the Church of England.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission’s guidance on the requirement to report on public benefit. In meeting its object, stated above, the Board is satisfied that Christ’s Chapel is of benefit to the general public as a place of worship and for associated activities.

Governance and Management

The Board of The Dulwich Estate is the governing body of the Chapel Charity and the Trustees who served during the year and their nominating bodies are shown on page 3.

Under the Scheme approved by the Charity Commission in respect of The Dulwich Estate, Trustees ordinarily serve for an initial term of five years and may then be re appointed for a second, continuous, term of five years. Where, exceptionally, at least two thirds of the remainder of the Trustees resolve that a particular Trustee should be appointed for a third consecutive term, this period shall not exceed five years.

Page 4

Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2025

New Trustees are introduced to the operation of The Dulwich Estate and its Beneficiary Charities, including the Chapel Charity, and are made aware of the Charities’ objects. Trustees are encouraged to avail themselves of seminars and training courses of relevance which are made available to the charity sector.

The Board meets ordinarily three times a year to consider all matters in relation to the Chapel Charity and day to day management and administration of the Chapel is delegated by the Board to the staff of The Dulwich Estate.

The Chapel Committee, which meets twice a year, has responsibility for most aspects of the administration of the Chapel within overall policies set by the Board and has a consultative role in the development and review of policies and budgets. The Committee comprises five Trustees and six others drawn from users of the Chapel, including the Foundation Chaplain, the Organist, representatives from the Parish and Congregation, and a representative of the three Dulwich schools of the Foundation (the Heads of all three schools are invited to attend). Chaplains of the Foundation Schools attend as Observers.

Operation

The use of the Chapel as a place of worship is the responsibility of the parish of St Barnabas - the Vicar of St Barnabas serves as the Foundation Chaplain. In addition to weekly Holy Communion, morning prayers and Evensong, the Chapel is used by the Foundation Schools and others. Bookings for the Chapel are made through the Parish Office in liaison with the Estate Office.

The repair and maintenance of the fabric of the Chapel is managed by the staff of The Dulwich Estate.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure of the Charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the Board of Trustees is required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities’ Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder and the trust deed. 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.

Page 5

Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity’s financial information included on The Dulwich Estate Charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements and other information included in annual reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Board of Trustees confirms its acceptance of these responsibilities.

Review of Activities

The Chapel continues to meet the Charity’s object as a place of worship for the Foundation Schools, the Parish and the public.

The Chapel and its historic organ is used for musical events by all three Dulwich Foundation Schools, as well as by the Parish and visitors. An annual Commemoration Service is held on the eve of Founder’s Day with all Dulwich School pupils past and present being well represented. The Dulwich Schools hold their annual Remembrance Day service around the war memorial in the Chapel grounds.

Board of Trustees composition

The changes during the year of the membership of the Board of the Incorporated Trustees of the Dulwich Estate are recorded at the beginning of this annual report.

Chapel Committee

The Board acknowledges its appreciation of the continuing and effective contribution of the members of the Chapel Committee and observers in achieving the Charity’s object.

Financial Position

In accordance with clause 14 1 (c), Scheme Number 2 of 5, dated 31 July 1995, The Dulwich Estate Charity makes an annual payment to the Chapel Charity which provides a significant proportion of the Chapel Charity’s regular annual income. After consultation with all its beneficiaries, the trustees of The Dulwich Estate Charity applied to the Charity Commisssion, in 2021, to increase the annual payment to £50,000 and for the anual payment to be escalated by CPI in each subsequent year. The Charity’s own resources, together with the continuing support of The Dulwich Estate, are considered to be sufficient to meet future financial needs.

Reserves Policy

The Board’s primary objective in relation to its management of the Charity concerns its stewardship of an historic building and ensuring that it is maintained in excellent condition for frequent use as a place of worship for the public, the Foundation Schools and the residents of The Dulwich Almshouse Charity. The Board recognises that conservation of the fabric of the building is expensive and the need for expert repair and restoration work can arise without warning. As explained elsewhere in this report, the Charity benefits from a strong relationship with The Dulwich Estate and can, as in the past, obtain additional funding from the Estate to provide for major restoration work if necessary, as well as the annual payment referred to above. Nevertheless, the purpose of the application to increase the annual payment from the Estate to the Chapel was to enable the Charity to build up larger reserves and reduce the frequency of requests to the Estate for additional funding.

Page 6

Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Board has established, by way of transfers from the Unrestricted Fund a Designated Fund - £50,468 (2024 - £42,940) to provide for the costs of maintaining the Chapel in good repair in accordance guided by a five-year cyclical maintenance programme. An annual amount of £12,500 per annum is transferred from the Unrestricted Fund to this Designated Fund so that the total estimated costs of these works is provided for when they are carried out. The balance of this fund is reviewed annually to ensure reserves are sufficient for this purpose. The details of these funds are shown in notes 10 and 11 to the Financial Statements.

Investment Policy

The Board’s policy is to invest its endowment capital in managed funds designed for charities which provides a balance of income and capital growth. Currently the endowment is invested in the Cazenove Charity Equity Value Fund. The market value of the portfolio increased by 3.02% during the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024 - loss 3.11%).

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of

Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift at Dulwich

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift at Dulwich for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 General information and accounting policies

a) Basis of accounting

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets. The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the entity. Monetary amounts are rounded to the closest whole pound and that the functional currency is £ sterling.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities (SORP 2013) (second edition, effective 1 January 2019) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift at Dulwich meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going Concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. After making enquiries the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

b) Fixed Assets

Expenditure on the Organ restoration is included at cost of works done, is capitalised within the Endowment Fund, and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 40 years from 1 July 2009. A Steinway Model V upright piano was purchased at a total cost £20,220 and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 20 years from 1 Jan 2020. The Heating System and the audio-visual facilities of the Chapel are being depreciated over their expected useful life of 20 years on a straight line basis from 2023/2024 financial year. The Chapel building is consecrated property and is therefore excluded from accountability in these financial statements by virtue of section 10(2) of the Charities’ Act 2011. Whilst the Chapel has heritage qualities by virtue of its age and architectural merit, it is used primarily as a place of worship and is not therefore regarded as a heritage asset as defined by the Charities SORP. All expenditure on maintenance and restoration of the building is written off in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is incurred.

c) Investments

Investments are a form of a basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closed quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes those unrealised gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the investment portfolio during the year and does not distinguish between the valuation adjustments relating to sales and those relating to continued holdings as they are together treated as changes in the value of the investment portfolio. Investment income is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Page 11

Christ's Chapel of God's Gift at Dulwich Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2025

d) Financial Instruments

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.

Debtors and Creditors

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reopening date are carried at their transaction price.

e) Income

The Statement of Financial Activities is credited, on an accruals basis, with investment income and rent receivable, legacy and donation income is recognised when the charity's entitlement has been established, and conditions have been met and the amount recievable has been quantified.

f) Expenditure

Raising funds comprise all expenses with regard to the Charity’s non operational property which is rented out.

Charitable activity comprises all costs directly related to maintaining Christ’s Chapel as a place of worship for the population of the area.

Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the Charity. These costs include recharges from The Dulwich Estate of £4,633 (2024: £4,467) in connection with preparing the accounts, board meeting agendas and budgets; governance costs also include theProfesional and Independent Examiner fees of £2,006 (2024: £6,776).

g) Permanent Endowment Fund

Permanent Endowment capital must be maintained but the income derived thereon may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees for any purpose in the furtherance of the objective of the Charity. The bulk of Permanent Endowment stems from sales of property in 1995/1996 and 1998/1999 which had no historic cost or value and also includes the Organ.

h) Restricted Funds

Donations received which are specifically designated for particular purposes, for example the restoration of the organ are applied to the cost of works and maintenance of the subject of the restriction.

i) Unrestricted Fund

The unrestricted fund comprises the accumulated surplus that has not been designated for specific purposes. These are available, at the discretion of the Trustees, for use in furtherance of the objective of the Charity.

j) Designated Fund

A fund to provide for Cyclical Repairs to the Charity’s property has been established by annual allocations from the Unrestricted Fund. Surplus funds are held on bank deposit pending release to meet the cost of repair works.
