REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Objects of the charity
The charity is govemed by a trust deed and is constituted as a trust. The chariws principal objects, as
set out in its governing document. are-
a) The advancement of the Christian faith
b) The relief of povety in accordance with the Christian concept of charty
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision. the chariws main activities and achievements were as follows..
Two weekend retreats= the first taking part live (via video link) in the Spiritual Exercises of the
Fraternity of Communion and Liberation preached by Bishop Giovanni Paccosi, and the second using
recordings of the same content to allow more people to attend. Both events included time for silent
reflection, prayer and discussion, and daity Mass.
Two multi-day residential retreat/holidays in the summer to give an opportunity to experience life in
the Christian community without the 'complications' of work, studies etc, and with a clear structure
of communal prayer throughout the day.
A half day public meeting to mark the start of the academic year.
A'way of the Cross" liturgical procession around the City of London on Good Friday.
Half-day retreats for Lent and Advent in London and in Scotland including preached reflections, silent
mediation and liturgy.
Several faith-sharing assemblies throughout the year.
A Christmas carol service in December
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity
Commission.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £85.380. to £157,125, while expenditure increased by £27,860, to
£133,191. As a result the cash held by the charty increased by £23,934, to £78,824, all of which is
unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose.
Reserves policy
The Charity maintains a reserve because it tends to pay for venues before receiving full payments from
event participants. Based on timing and size of the cash flow for our events a reserve of unrestricted
cash to cover 3-6 months, expense is considered appropriate by the trustees so that the charity could
continue to operate should income and l or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity
held unrestricted cash of £78,824 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.

Governance
Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rest with the trustees who meet
regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity
has been delegated to a senior management team led by Stefano Brasca. New trustees are recruited
and appointed by the existing trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which
record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to
prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
