TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Last year we announced a chang8 in the charity's delivery method of provision to the nelworf(. Whilst the
vision of the charity remains the safne, we introducEd our new tsgline 'letting the network lead in meeting the
need" What we meant by that was to do with the way in which ChaplaincyPlus activities were to be delivered.
The trustees agreed on a'facilitstor approath" rather than a°leading from the front approach". We envisaged
teams of network members coming together as steering committees for the various network groups and
helping to organise activities for thai group.
In the same way, we imagin8d the 1 to 1 provision expanding to make up a group of listening volunteers,
trained up lo be ablè to meet with members of the network on a 1 to 1 basis, under Sarah Thorpe's
supervision.
In order to do this. we made changes to the staff team and recruited new trustees..
Jane Merson joined the team as our Network Support Manager. Jan8 has 0￿rsight of the general
running of the charity and the staff team and is the main orchestrator of our network wide events.
Reuben Williams also joined the staff team as our Network Groups Coordinator and Reuben overseas
the smooth running of the ne￿ork groups. working closely with the steering committees for each
group as w&ll as helping to estsblish any new network groups that may arise.
In temis of the board of trustees. we welcomed Michelle Knight, victoria Beddows and Gernrna Bowes as
nawly appointed trustees. Sadly, Gemma has since stepped down from the board, but we were grateful for
her input during that tim8.
We now welcome bNo more new trustees. Sue Iqbal and Ramin Akhyani. both of whom have been involved
with ChaplaincyPlus in other capacities for several years.
With all this new activity. this past year has been one of embedding all those changes into the life of the
charity and keeping track of the impact of these ¢hanges. l am pleas8d to say it has been a really positive
year for the charity-
Some specific highlights worth drawing attention to:
Intemally, the new staff and board members are all working well together, and there is a ren8W8d
sense of leam.. Behind the scenes, a huge amount of work has been done and continues to be done
by the team on th8 charity's strategic objectives, Biblical basis, fundraising plan and the development
of a new website.
Nelwork members hav8 Stepped into voluntary roles to h8lp lead some of th8 network groups,
including being a part of the newly n8med DrawBreath (previously 1 to 1 s) listening team. Far from
standing still as new changes are embraced, Chaplain¢yPlus has seen a new network group spring
to life in the fonn of CityDiscipleship and we hop8 to see rnore groups organically form in time as the
charity continues to support the nelwork in meeting its needs.
We have enjoyed well attended ne￿Ork-wide events, with the Cathedral fuller than ever at the Carols
for the Business Community in December 2023. We also pioneered a new meeting fomiat at our
Spring gathéring, which was w811 received.
Our ongoing and fewarding partnership with the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity
allowed us to re￿1ve thoughtful messages from Paul Valler at last yearfs Annual Celebration and an
interactive and engaging session from Ennette Lainchbury and Sam Brown at our Spring Gathering.
The LICC'S Fruitfulness on the Frontline course has also been followed by the Cityvibes nétwork
group.
Developing Ilnks with other organisations like Transfom Work & Workcare West Midlands to share
resources and support one anoth8r to work to the strengths of our organisations.

TRUSTEES. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Financial review
Reserves policy
The charity's poli¢y is to apply its funds in a¢¢ordance with the objects of the charity whilst ensuring that there
are sufficient funds to cover cash flow requirements relating to committed expenditure for three months, such
as salary payments. Typically. this will mean retaining around £11,672 of funds in the general funds.
The pr6sènt18vel of funds at £30.791 falls within this target level. Whilst higher than the target. the trustees
feel it appropriate to maintain reserves at this level to protect the charity against a signtficant reduction in
funding and to give scope to invest in th8 growth of the charity in the future. The strategy is to continue to
buildlmaintain reserves through planned operating surpluses.
Flnances for the y￿r
During the period the charity received Income from donations from indwiduals, with associated gift aid tax
reliefs where relevant, from Churches, Charitable Trusts and Foundations and from gatherings taking place
in the year. We hav8 seen a decrease in direct giving from individuals and a decrease in other aspects of
income as well. Reasons are rarely provided when an individual decides to cease their giving and are likely
unique to each individual. Some reasons that have been provided indude retirement and leaving the area.
We are also very aware that there is a cost-of-living crisis, and th8 circumstances of many indNiduals will
havg changed during and after the Covid 19 pandemic. whiGh resulted in a significant 8WitGh to hybrid
working.
The trustees have been mindful of the financial position throughout the financial year and decisions, such as
appointing our new N8twork Support Manager, and our Nehvork Groups Coordinator {both on a part time
basis) were carefully considered. The outcome of this was a signtficant decrease in expenditure. The decision
was taken during the last financial year to ceas8 the Contract of the BWA manager and eventually to stop
"Birmingham W6llbeing Alliance. provision altogether. Income totalled £0 for the year (2023: £3,766). Thé
total costs for the period were £0 {2023= £3,674). This resulted in a net surplus for the year of £2,122 (2023:
£963>. Th8 trustees have been mindful of challenging financial énvironment and considering how this can be
addressed.
Pnlncipal fundlng
Th8 principal sources of funding for the charity are individual donations from professionals in the ¢ity, gift aid
and donations from Charitsble Trusts and Foundations. The trustees ¢onts'nually review Ihe fundraising
strategy and ar& seeknng to broaden the support base.
The charity gratefully a¢knowledges the support of Charitable Trusts and Foundatlons. Corporate donors and

Our 2023 Carols for the Business Community service, held at St Philip's cathedral was exceptionally well
