Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 July 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The College's objective is the advancement of education, religion, learning and research through the provision of excellent learning activities for students. The College commits significant resources to various outreach activities designed to encourage applications by able candidates from all backgrounds. This supports the College's Access and Participation Statement approved by the Office for Students.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God established the College in 1998 as Christ The Redeemer Bible College to provide ministerial training courses for the ministers of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the wider Christian community. In 2005, the Board decided to expand the services of the college to include courses in other areas that effectively complement Christian ministry particularly courses in business studies, computing and life skills development. This led to the change of name to Christ The Redeemer College and the registration as a charitable company to take over the business of the Bible College in February 2006.
The aim of this change was to improve the ministry capacity of members and leaders of the church and those of the wider community to better discharge their services for the wellbeing of the community they serve by equipping them with necessary management and professional skills. This process is a continuing one. This is demonstrated in the validations that the College has sought with Universities over the years. The College currently has validation arrangement with Newman University (to provide training in theology and ministry up to postgraduate level) Discussions are ongoing for validation of business courses with Newman University.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
Christ The Redeemer College is a Higher Education institution and, therefore, an exempt charity under the terms of the Charities Act 2006. The members of the board of directors, are the Trustees of the charity, as such has had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on the reporting of public benefit and particularly to its supplementary public benefit guidance on the advancement of education. Students undertaking courses at Christ The Redeemer College obtain direct benefit from the education they receive and the enhanced careers which they subsequently pursue to become ministers of religion, church leaders or business/professionals. Such services also provide benefits to the community through community project support, counselling, and relieving poverty in the community. Through these new leaders and ministers of religion produced by the college, more youth and community-based initiatives are implemented in communities that foster cohesion and safeguarding for our youths.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During 2020/21 the College continued to provide a vibrant and transformative College experience to students and to invest in the long-term sustainability of the College. The College continued to develop its college premises to provide upgraded learning facilities to enhance students' learning experience and provide a firm financial footing for its future development.
The value of these investments was evident during the onset of COVID 19 pandemic. The virtual learning infrastructure enabled a seamless transition of learning to online delivery which enabled our students to continue their learning with little disruption. The College will continue to invest in its IT infrastructure to cope with the ever-expanding nature of our provisions.
The College continues to maintain its financial sustainability whilst ensuring appropriate access to all students, including those less able to provide resources of their own through bursaries. A focus on fundraising for more scholarships and bursaries is being developed. The impact on students is a growth in confidence through their experience at Christ the Redeemer College, with broadened perspectives, strong ministry, social and professional engagement. This is supported by the active involvement of our Alumni network.
In 2020/21 the College received 293 applications (189 in 2019/20). The breakdown is 101 for practical ministry courses, 108 for foundation year programme, 17 undergraduate theology courses, 53 undergraduate business courses and 14 postgraduate theology courses. Admissions were offered to 311 applicants comprising of 100 for practical ministry courses, 14 undergraduate theology courses, 41 undergraduate business courses, 87 foundation students and 9 postgraduate theology courses applicants. Total enrolled was 251.
The College has invested in additional marketing and engagement actions to attract and increase the number of suitable applicants to the College for 2020/21 academic year.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
Engagement with employees
The college maintained a progressive and career developmental relationship with its employees. The academic staff were encouraged to engage in subsidised courses for their CPD. The annual staff evaluation enables decisions for career progression and development. In order to encourage cordial relationship with the board and management, there are staff and students' representatives working parties. This is a forum where employees and students present their respective welfare and concerns, and where these are addressed.
Engagement with suppliers, customers and others
The college engages with various stakeholders and suppliers in a way that is most beneficial for the provisions of the services of the college. The college looks for quality and efficiency in line with the funds management policy of the college.
The college ensures good working relationship with suppliers and customers within the boundary of the law in respect of procurement, payments and service delivery.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Reserves policy
The College's reserves are currently unrestricted funds. The Trustees regularly reviews the College's reserves policy. The policy considers the nature of the income and expenditure streams and the need to match variable income with fixed commitments. To allow the College to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interrupted services, the policy requires reserves cover in the region of £100000 be maintained. This range is based on managing to sustain core College activity if there were a fall in income of 20%.
Statement of Internal Control
The Management Board is responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control that supports the achievement of policy, aims and objectives while safeguarding the funds and assets for which the Board of Trustees is responsible. The system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it therefore provides reasonable but not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is designed to identify the principal risks to the achievement of policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the nature and extent of those risks and to manage them efficiently, effectively, and economically. This process was in place for the year ended 31 July 2021 and up to the date of approval of the financial statements.
Strategic and Operational Risks
The College is a small charity. To manage risk, all College Trustees and staff are made to understand the nature of risk and to accept responsibility for risks management in their area of authority. The risk management process therefore provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the organisation is protected.
We define key strategic and operational risks as those that, without effective and appropriate mitigation, would have a severe impact on our work, our reputation, or our ability to achieve our goals. These risks are reported to the Trustees through the risk management process, allowing them to challenge any assumptions management have made about risks and understand the context in which decisions are taken. This helps to ensure that the most serious risks are being managed effectively. The frisk register is updated regularly as new risks are identified.
The possible principal risks are identified below
-
We currently operate validation agreement with Newman University. A distant risk could be difficulty with renewal and therefore be unable to recruit students unless there is a new validation. This is not expected in the near future in view of the involvement of the universities in the quality assurance processes of the College
-
As our programmes are mainly targeted at church ministers and charity workers, changes in this sector may affect recruitment. Unexpected drop in student number, therefore, may present some risk. This is not expected in the near future as the college has diverse sources of income. As the training arm of our founding denomination, there is continuing source of funding from the training of the church's ministers.
-
Other risks could be changes in government education policies generally, or that affecting financial support to students specifically. 4. COVID 19 pandemic could continue longer than is anticipated. This could impact on students' willingness to continue their studies and reduction in student intake. This is not expected to affect the college in the near future as vaccines have been found to control the virus and adequate infrastructure exist to provide online studies.
The finance committee undertakes regular evaluations of our budgets and expenses for an early identification of any risk. Any identified risk would be promptly reflected in our risk management system.
The Trustees board is confident that its planning, risk management and operational management activities mitigate these risks adequately.
Safeguarding
The College takes safeguarding very seriously. The College considers that it provides a safe and trusted environment and has an organisational culture that prioritises safeguarding among students, staff and users of our facilities. The College considers that it does have adequate safeguarding policies, procedures and measures to protect people using our services. These are reviewed regularly and kept up to date. The College continues to apply due diligence; communicate and train its staff; and monitor and review its position.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Future plans
Data Protection
Christ the Redeemer College completed its assessment of the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and carried out a programme of work to achieve compliance. The Trustees are content that sufficient progress has been made in complying with the Regulation.
Fundraising
The College current fundraising strategy is through personal solicitation through the churches. The College commenced the planned annual telephone fundraising campaign to its Alumni and churches in 2021/21 financial year with limited success due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The college plans to continue the funds raising effort as the environment allows. Members of staff will be employed as callers. All Alumni who might be called would be informed in advance and offered the opportunity to opt out of the call. CRC is understanding and compassionate towards its supporters and will never exploit vulnerability.
The College is evolving and stabilising its academic provisions. The College anticipates changes to its education and research activities in response to growth in its programmes, with student numbers increasing in line with college future development. Activities will continue to support the College's Access and Participation commitments.
During the year the College undertook a Strategic Review of College activities and is implementing a new College Strategic Plan 2021-2025. The purpose of the review was to articulate the College's ambitions, that it is heading in the right direction and that our goals are right for our time and the increasingly globalised 21st Century environment in which we operate. This plan is subject to annual review to maintain its currency and relevance in relation to our strategic goals.
The College will continue to enhance its student experience in innovative ways in view of the pandemic and find ways to improve the services it provides and its relationships with its Alumni members.
Trustees will continue to ensure that the College remains on a sound financial footing and remains a central part of the ministerial training provision within the Christian community. The College will work with the Alumni to enable as many students as possible, through the growth of college scholarships and bursaries. The College remains committed to improving its financial sustainability
The Trustees expresses great thanks to the Council, Alumni and other stakeholders that contribute to the development of the College through their engagement, skills, experience, sharing of opportunities and financial support, without whom the College would not continue to thrive.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees of Christ The Redeemer College (Registered number: 05416226)
Opinion
I have audited the financial statements of Christ The Redeemer College (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the college as at 31st July 2021 and of the charity's surplus of income over expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
meet the requirements of the Accounts Direction dated 25th October 2019 issued by the Office for Students and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
Basis for opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, I have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work I have performed, I have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
My responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and my Report of the Independent Auditor thereon.
My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in my report, I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If I identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, I am required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. I have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which I am required to report by exception
I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires me to report to you if, in my opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my audit.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees of Christ The Redeemer College (Registered number: 05416226)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
My responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
I have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
An auditor conducting an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) is responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of my Report of the Independent Auditor.
Use of my report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My audit work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for my audit work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
