Annual report
The trustees of the Christadelphian Support Network present the annual report of
the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2022.
Structure and Governance
The Charity is presently governed by a Constitution which was adopted on 8th
September 2001.
As part of our strategic review of the charity, a new Constitution {CIO Association
model) was submitted to and approved by the UK Charity Commission on 16
December 2021 and a new charity of the same name was incorporated on that
date under Charity number 1197175. The existing trustees have been appointed to
the board of the new charity and will submit themselves for re-election by the
members of that charity at forthcoming Annual General Meetings by rotation. The
Trustees are legally accountable for the assets of the Charity.
The Trustees unanimously agreed to transfer all activities, assets and liabilities to
the new charity with effect from l October 2022. The Charity will hereafter act as
agent for the new Charitable Incorporated Organisation in any residual matters
until such time as it is formally closed.
Andrew and Sue Collinge who have so ably served the Charity for over twenty
years have retired as trustees although they continue to provide support to the
ongoing charity. We record our gratitude for their dedication to the work of the
charity which has guided it to the strong position it has now attained.
The Trustees and committee members meet as a Managing Committee seven
times a year. Sub-committees are formed as necessary to undertake specific tasks
on behalf of the Managing Committee.
The Managing Committee have reviewed and revised the roles and responsibilities
of trustees in relation to the Charity, and established skills and competencies in
relation to the requirements of the Charity and Charity Commission guidance.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 September 2022
The skills and suitability of applicants for trustees and committee member roles
are assessed against the anticipated needs of the Charity going forward, a skills
matrix and following an interview with the trustees. Vacancies are always
advertised by appropriate channels through the UK Christadelphian community to
maximise experience and encourage diversity. Prospective trustees and members
of the Managing Committee are expected to attend at least two meetings as
observers, before committing themselves to their role.
The trustees and committee members give their time voluntarily and, other than
reimbursement of necessary expenses, receive no remuneration or other benefits
from their role.
Objectives and Activities
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit. The focus of our activities remains:
'The support of individuals, members of our church community and their families,
who are experiencing problems.,
CSN also
encourages awareness of issues affecting individuals and our community
supports activities and events to foster understanding, kindness, and mutual
support in our community
We provide support to all who approach us, irrespective of being in our church
community their wider families and the public. In accordance with the Equality
Act 2010 we support each of the nine protected characteristics, regardless of
personal background, gender, or circumstances. We believe this philosophy of
openness to all enriches everyone through the sharing of skills, attitudes, and life
experiences.
In more detail, the Charity provides .
a confidential and caring 'Helpline' service for anyone with a difficult personal
problem by offering 'a listening ear, and the opportunity to receive skilled
support.

rota and Prayerline, provide support for those in need and support in organising
CSN events. Without their valuable contribution of time, energy, and expertise we
would not have been able to achieve so much. Thank you.
The Charit¢s website was further improved, with more trustee information and
more self-help resources being added from time to time. A more specific service
feedback process has also been introduced..
The Charity published a new booklet on Relationship Loss, written by people with
individual experience; a new booklet on Bereavement followed in early 2023.
Achievements and performance
During the twelve months to 30 September 2022 the trustees have continued to
comply with the Objects of the Charity.
A risk analysis has been completed and guidelines established with appropriate
training and supervision in place for those who support the national telephone
Helpline and Prayerline.
Each year the trustees meet to review the future strategy and direction of the
charity, to ensure that these are meeting both the needs of the community and
our charitable objectives. The transfer to a new charity is part of this strategy.
The constitution of the new Charitable Incorporated Organisation 'CIO' embraces a
significant membership to whom the trustees of the Charity are now responsible.
Trustees will continue to be appointed for four-year terms, but are now limited to
three consecutive terms, with one quarter of the trustees retiring annually. The
constitution of the new organisation is in line with Charity Commission best
practice and in terms of Trustees balances both continuity of experience and
refreshment with new skills and perspectives. It also ensures greater transparency
and accountability in the governance of the Charity in future.
Under the new constitution, any individual baptised into the Christadelphian
community and supporting the services of the Charity may become a member of
the Charity, on acceptance by the Trustees of an application form detailing their
relevant and necessary skills. Details of how to become a member have been
posted on the Charitws website.

Financial Review
We are very grateful for the financial contributions we receive from both churches
and individuals which enables us to carry out this work. Any surplus funds which
are not needed to pay for current activities are placed on deposit to earn interest
and fund activities in future years.
As can be seen in the attached financial statements, the Charity generated a
surplus of £8,944 (2021: £4,526) in the year to 30 September 2022. Our
accumulated reserves remain adequate for our planned activities and as at 30
September 2022 amounted to £57,183 (2021: £48,238) It IS the Managing
Committee's aim to continually review the operations of the charity to determine
the best uses of these funds to promote the Charity's ongoing objectives.
