TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees’ report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are also prepared to meet the requirements of a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the charity are to advance the religious and other charitable work of the Congregation as the Trustees with the approval of the Superior think fit.
The charity provides for the essential needs of all members of the congregation.The charity also provides for the cost of living for the sisters on their retirement.
In setting the charity’s objectives, the Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. These requirements are addressed in this report.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the main funding came from investment income. No particular fundraising took place during the year. Details of the net expenditure for the year, being the financial activities of the Congregation for the year, are disclosed on page 6. The Congregation has the responsibility to provide care for the elderly and sick sisters. The Congregation continues to support the work of evangelization, education and care in establishments once run by the sisters.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity’s income increased from £137,984in the previous year to £144,339 this year. Before investment gains and losses there was a surplus of £33,711 compared to £33,845in 2022. After gains and losses on investments there was a surplusin the year of £251,951compared to a deficit in the previous year of £347.636. Reserves including designated funds stood at £3,832,215 at the year-end.
The General Fund reserves which stood at £180,126 at the year-endrepresents just under five years’ operating expenditure which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory, as it is withinthe planned range of two to five years.The trustees need to hold sufficient investments to be able to generate sufficient income to meet the needs of the members.
Designated funds have been set aside to cover the following:
Investment Fund – this represents the value of the original investments subject to subsequent movements. The fund is used to cover the value of the investments. The balance on this fund as at 31 December 2023 was £1,090,944.
Retirement Fund – this is intended to provide for the costs of the sisters on their retirement. The balance on this fund as at 31 December 2023 was £500,000.
Congregation Fund – this fund is to provide for the members of the order based in France. The balance on this fund as at 31 December 2023 was £2,061,144
The Investment Fund and Retirement Fund are maintained at the level of the market value of investments of the English Fund.
GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

THE LANGHORNE COMPANY (A company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE
The Langhorne Company was incorporated on 21 March 2003 as a charitable company limited by guarantee (Company number 4400910, Registered Charity number 1094183).
The Trustees during the year are as listed under the legal and administrative details. The Trustees are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law. The Superior has the power of appointment of new Trustees of the Charity and is also a Trustee. Given the nature of the Order, Trustees are not required from outside its members and no policy has been adopted in that regard. No specific training has been given to the Trustees but they are satisfied they have sufficient access to professional and practical advice to understand the responsibilities as charity Trustees.
INVESTMENT POWERS, POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees have legal powers to purchase land and buildings required for the purposes of the Charity. Moreover, the Trustees have the power to invest trust monies in investments of any nature and at their absolute discretion.
The Trustees or their representatives meet the Investment Managers regularly in order to discuss the portfolios. The strategy is to maximise total return within acceptable levels of risk avoiding any investments which conflict with the purposes of the charity. The Trustees consider the investment performance to be acceptable.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. The most significant risk, as has been seen following the recent pandemic, is the performance of investment markets.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also directors of the Langhorne Company for the purposes 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable for that period. 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;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time of the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within CA 2006, Pt. 15.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE LANGHORNE COMPANY
I report on the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Financial Activities, and the related notes.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). The trustees are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of financial statements is as follows:
a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019),the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.The financial statements are presented in UK Sterling, which is the Charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.

b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
Having considered future budgets and cash flows, the trustees confirm that they have no material uncertainties about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The most significant uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets.
c) Income
Income is included in the SOFA once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following specific policies apply to categories of income:
Members’ pensions and stipends - these are received under deeds of Covenant and are stated inclusive of income tax but net of deductions for Social Security payments.
Voluntary income - donations &grants where related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance of its recognition it is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income being received the income is accrued.
Investment income - is credited to income when it is receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
d) Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred, inclusive of VAT, which cannot be recovered.
Charitable activities comprise mainly of expenditure on support of members and their ministries as well as transfers to the congregation.
Support costs have been allocated to charitable activities. Governance activities comprise organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Costs include direct costs of external audit, legal fees and other professional advice.
