Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
St Luke's Centre is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 10 June 2005, as amended by special resolution dated 16 January 2007.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity’s governing document. In considering the appointment of new trustees, the Board has regard to the skills, experience and perspectives needed to support the effective governance of the Centre and the proper discharge of trustee duties.
The Board includes clergy and lay trustees with experience in diocesan leadership, religious life, charitable governance, business management, education, healthcare and finance. This range of experience helps to ensure that the Centre is governed with appropriate oversight and informed judgement.
Induction and training of trustees
New trustees are inducted through meetings with key personnel and existing Board members and are introduced to the history, governance, work and current structure of the Centre. Trustees are provided with the charity’s governing document and key policies to support their understanding of their legal duties and responsibilities.
Ongoing briefing and development is provided as required to ensure trustees are able to discharge their responsibilities effectively.
Organisational structure
The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees, who are responsible for the overall control, strategic direction and oversight of the Centre.
Reflecting the historic relationship with St Luke’s Institute (‘SLI’) in the United States, and the involvement of trustees representing the Catholic Bishops’ Conferences of England and Wales, Ireland and Scotland, and the Conference of Religious in the UK and Ireland, the President of SLI serves ex officio as Chair of Trustees. The Board also includes lay trustees.
While the Centre maintains a close collaborative relationship with SLI, it is an independent charity in England and Wales and the trustees retain full responsibility for its governance and decision-making.
During the year, Rev Dr Quinn R. Conners, O. Carm. served as Chair of Trustees. From 4 August 2025, Rev Patrick McDevitt, C.M., Ph.D. assumed the role of Chair.
The Board meets regularly and considers matters of strategy, performance and risk.
The trustees have established Finance, Operations and Safeguarding Committees to support effective governance, oversight and the discharge of their responsibilities.
The day-to-day management of the Centre is delegated to the Executive Director, who was Rev Dr Gerard Fieldhouse-Byrne and Rev Andrew Pastore SI during the year, supported by an organisational committee and a small staff team.

St Luke's Centre
Trustees' Report
Leadership and operational changes during and after the year
Following a period of over 20 years of service, Rev Dr Gerard Fieldhouse-Byrne returned to diocesan ministry in response to his diocesan bishop. This was a planned transition, and the trustees record their gratitude for his significant contribution in establishing, developing and sustaining the work of the Centre.
The trustees initiated a recruitment process to appoint a successor and appointed Rev Andrew Pastore, a priest of the Secular Institute of the Schoenstatt Fathers (SI), who took up the role of Executive Director from 1 September 2025. A period of transition and handover was incorporated to support continuity of leadership and operations.
This leadership transition coincided with changes to the Centre’s accommodation arrangements. The charity has historically operated from Danesfield, Manchester, a property owned by the Catholic Trust for England and Wales (‘CaTEW’, on behalf of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales). During the year, the trustees were informed that the property would be marketed for sale and that the Centre would be required to vacate the premises by December 2025.
The trustees have overseen arrangements for interim accommodation and are progressing plans to secure a longer-term base in collaboration with CaTEW. The Centre continues to operate from temporary premises, with the expectation of securing a permanent location during the current financial year.
The trustees have maintained oversight of these changes and are satisfied that they have been managed in a planned and orderly manner, with appropriate arrangements in place to support continuity of services.

Trustees' Report
Major risks and management of those risks
The trustees have reviewed the principal risks facing the charity and the systems in place to manage them.
The principal risks identified include:
-
reliance on service demand from dioceses and religious congregations.
-
the impact of leadership transition and succession planning.
-
operational disruption arising from relocation of premises.
-
reputational and clinical risk associated with the sensitive nature of the Centre’s work.
The trustees keep these matters under continual review and have implemented planning, oversight and continuity arrangements to mitigate disruption and support the continued delivery of services.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
St Luke's Centre participates in the healing ministry of Christ by promoting the health and well-being of Roman Catholic clergy, women and men candidates for the ministry in the Roman Catholic Church in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
To accomplish our ministry, we will work closely with Dioceses and Religious Congregations to provide individual assessment and evaluation, candidate assessment, outpatient therapy, tailored education and wellness programmes and conduct research. We will use our professional training and working relationships with national bodies to offer off-site Diocesan/Religious Community based consultation. Where possible we will share best practice and our services with international bodies and religious institutions.
As an independent facility, the centre will conduct its ministry in accordance with best clinical practice and in harmony with the teachings of the Gospel and the Roman Catholic Church.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit requirements.
The Centre provides specialist psychological, assessment, consultation and therapeutic services which support the health, wellbeing and safe ministry of Roman Catholic clergy, religious and those preparing for ministry in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
The trustees consider that the public benefit arises through improving the wellbeing and functioning of those in pastoral ministry, supporting safer practice, assisting dioceses and religious congregations in managing complex situations responsibly, and strengthening the capacity of church communities to respond well to the needs of those they serve.

St Luke's Centre
Trustees' Report
Achievements and performance
During the year the Centre continued to provide specialist assessment, consultation, therapeutic support, education and outreach in furtherance of its charitable purposes.
This included work with bishops, religious superiors, diocesan vocations directors and safeguarding personnel, clergy and those preparing for ministry. The Centre provided individual assessment and evaluation, candidate assessment, outpatient therapeutic support, tailored education and wellness programmes and consultation to dioceses and religious congregations.
During the year and subsequent period, the Centre also continued to deliver its services while managing a planned leadership transition and changes to its operating base. The trustees are satisfied that continuity of service was maintained throughout.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
At the year end the charity held total reserves of £102,420 (2024: £197,952), of which £Nil (2024: £Nil) were held in fixed assets, leaving £102,420 (2024: £197,952) in free reserves. While this remains within the trustees’ risk tolerance in the context of the organisation’s operating model, the reduction reflects planned investment and cost pressures during the year. The trustees will continue to monitor reserves closely to ensure they remain sufficient to support ongoing operations and manage financial risk.
The trustees recognise that income from the Centre’s services can fluctuate due to the nature of vocational discernment and variations in assessment demand. The level of free reserves is therefore kept under regular review to support the ongoing operation of the charity and to provide a reasonable level of financial resilience.
At the balance sheet date, free reserves represented approximately 4 months’ expenditure (2024: 9 months), which the trustees consider to be appropriate in the context of the charity’s operating model and risk profile.
The charity does not currently maintain a formal investment policy. Given the level of reserves and the need to retain funds to support short- to medium-term operational requirements, the trustees consider it appropriate to hold funds on a liquid basis. The trustees will keep this position under review and will consider the development of an investment policy should the level of reserves increase to a point where longer-term investment is appropriate.

Trustees' Report
Going concern
After carefully considering the Charity’s financial position and prospects, combined with risks posed by the current uncertain economic environment, the Trustees have chosen to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Thanks
Due to the nature of the centre's operations it is not appropriate to utilise volunteers in most of its day to day activities. The trustees wish to thank all individuals and organisations who continue to contribute so generously, both financially and with services

St Luke's Centre
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of St Luke's Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and 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; and
-
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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of St Luke's Centre
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 18 .
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. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
1 Charity status
The Charitable Company is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Danesfield, Whalley Road, Manchester, M16 8BT.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
St Luke's Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
After carefully considering the Charity’s financial position and prospects, combined with risks posed by the current uncertain economic environment, the Trustees have chosen to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the Charitable Company has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charitable Company and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the Charitable Company has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

St Luke's Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Donated services and facilities
Where services or facilities are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this benefit is included in the financial statements at its fair value unless its fair value cannot be realiably measured, then at the cost to the donor or the resale value of goods that are to be sold.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the Charitable Company’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Taxation
The Charitable Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charitable Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Leasehold alterations | 10% straight line |
| Furniture and fittngs | 20% straight line |
| Computer equipment | 33% straight line |

St Luke's Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trusteess' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charitable Company.
Financial instruments

St Luke's Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs).
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, ot to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
