Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

Objects and activities of the charity

The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.

Fel elusen, nod eglur Cytûn yw uno mewn pererindod yr eglwysi hynny yng Nghymru sydd, gan gydnabod datguddiad Duw yng Nghrist, yn cyffesu yr Arglwydd Iesu Grist yn Dduw a Gwaredwr yn ôl yr Ysgrythurau; ac mewn ufudd-dod i ewyllys Duw ac yng ngrym yr Ysbryd Glân, yn ymrwymo’u hunain i geisio dyfnhau eu cymundeb â Christ ac â’i gilydd yn yr Eglwys, sef ei gorff ef, ac i gyflawni eu cenhadaeth o gyhoeddi’r efengyl drwy dystiolaethu a gwasanaethu gyda’i gilydd yn y byd, er gogoniant yr un Duw, Tad, Mab ac Ysbryd Glân.

As a charity, Cytûn has the clear aim of uniting in pilgrimage those churches in Wales which, acknowledging God’s revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures; and, in obedience to God’s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church, which is his body, and to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world, to the glory of one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

Ffynonellau incwm yr elusen yw: cyfraniadau gan aelodau ac asiantaethau sy’n bartneriaid a thanysgrifiadau oddi wrth gyrff eciwmenaidd rhanbarthol a lleol.

Tri phrif weithgaredd Cytûn ar gyfer codi arian oedd: sicrhau cyfraniadau oddi wrth yr eglwysi a’r enwadau sy’n aelodau, sicrhau tanysgrifiadau oddi wrth grwpiau lleol a rhanbarthol a sicrhau cymorth oddi wrth Gyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru i alluogi Cytûn i gyflawni ein dyletswyddau tuag at gymunedau ffydd Cymru.

Nodir newidiadau penodol i asedau sefydlog yn nodiadau'r cyfrifon.

Y mae'r Ymddiriedolwyr yn fodlon fod asedau'r elusen ym mhob cronfa ar gael ac yn ddigonol ar gyfer cyfarfod â'i oblygiadau parthed pob cronfa.

The charity’s sources of income are: contributions from members and partner agencies and subscriptions from regional and local ecumenical bodies.

Cytûn’s three main fundraising activities were: raising contributions from member churches and denominations, gaining subscriptions from local and regional groups and gaining support from the Wales Council for Voluntary Action to enable Cytûn to meet its obligations to Wales’ faith communities. Specific changes in fixed assets are detailed in the notes to the accounts.

The Trustees are satisfied that the charity’s assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit including the guidance on advancement of religion. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The charity's strategies for achieving its aims and objectives in the future.

Er mwyn cryfhau llais unedig yr eglwysi yn y sgwâr cyhoeddus, mae Cytun yn cynrychioli eglwysi yn y llywodraeth, y cyfryngau a'r gymdeithas sifil. Rydym yn cydlynu ymatebion i faterion cymdeithasol. Rydym yn darparu briffiau ac adnoddau ar bolisi cyhoeddus o safbwynt Cristnogol. Rydym yn hwyluso partneriaethau ar gyfer mentrau cymunedol a chyfiawnder ac rydym yn cefnogi eglwysi yn eu hymgysylltiad ag ymdrechion eiriolaeth lleol a chenedlaethol.

Er mwyn meithrin perthnasoedd dyfnach a chydweithrediad rhwng enwadau Cristnogol, mae Cytun yn creu mannau ar gyfer myfyrio a deialog ddiwinyddol, cefnogi addoliad, digwyddiadau ac adnoddau litwrgaidd ar y cyd, hwyluso adeiladu ymddiriedaeth, datrys gwrthdaro pan fo angen, a chydweithredu rhwng eglwysi, hyrwyddo mentrau datblygu disgyblaeth ac arweinyddiaeth a rennir a chwilio am aelodau newydd.

Er mwyn cadw eglwysi yn gysylltiedig, darparu gwybodaeth ac adnoddau rhyngddynt ar gyfer gweinidogaeth effeithiol, mae Cytun yn dosbarthu bwletinau newyddion rheolaidd, diweddariadau polisi, ac adnoddau eciwmenaidd ac yn cysylltu eglwysi â rhwydweithiau eciwmenaidd cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol.

Er mwyn cefnogi tystiolaeth yr eglwys yn nhirwedd ddiwylliannol, ieithyddol ac ysbrydol unigryw Cymru, mae Cytun yn ymgysylltu â gwyliau diwylliannol, sefydliadau cenedlaethol, a'r cyfryngau Cymreig, yn annog diwinyddiaeth a chenhadaeth gyd-destunol sydd wedi'u gwreiddio ym mywyd Cymru ac yn cefnogi eglwysi i fynd i'r afael â heriau gwledig, trefol ac ôl-ddiwydiannol sy'n unigryw i gymunedau Cymru.

Rhwng 1 Ionawr a 31 Rhagfyr 2024, parhaodd Cytûn – Eglwysi Ynghyd yng Nghymru – i ymgysylltu’n weithredol â pholisi cyhoeddus ar ran ei eglwysi a’i sefydliadau aelodau, gan gynrychioli eu barn i Lywodraethau Cymru a’r DU, y Senedd, a chyrff cenedlaethol eraill. Roedd y gwaith hwn yn cynnwys cyfrannu at ymgynghoriadau ar ddiwygio tai a digartrefedd, polisi addysg, a dyfodol y dreth gyngor yng Nghymru. Hwylusodd Cytûn hefyd fewnbwn eciwmenaidd i drafodaethau ar gyfiawnder hinsawdd, cysylltiadau rhyng-ffydd, a diogelu grwpiau agored i niwed, gan sicrhau bod llais yr eglwysi yn cael ei glywed mewn dadleuon o arwyddocâd cenedlaethol. Cafodd y cydweithio arfaethedig ar waith cyfathrebu ac ymgyrchu gyda Chymorth Cristnogol yng Nghymru ei atal yn ystod y flwyddyn oherwydd cyfyngiadau ariannol o fewn y sefydliad hwnnw. Drwy gydol y flwyddyn, darparodd y sefydliad friffiau, ymatebion cydlynol, a chefnogodd eglwysi aelodau i ddatblygu eu hymgysylltiad polisi eu hunain. Tua diwedd 2024, cyhoeddodd Swyddog Polisi hirhoedlog Cytûn, Gethin Rhys, ei fwriad i ymddeol erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth 2025, yn dilyn blynyddoedd lawer o wasanaeth ymroddedig. Dechreuodd yr elusen roi trefniadau ar waith i recriwtio Swyddog Polisi newydd i baratoi ar gyfer y newid hwn.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

In order to amplify the churches' collective voice and action in the public square, Cytun represents churches in government, media, and civil society. We coordinating responses to social issues. We provide briefings and resources on public policy from a Christian perspective. We facilitating partnerships for community service and justice initiatives and we support churches in their engagement with local and national advocacy efforts.

In order to foster deeper relationships and cooperation among Christian denominations Cytun creates spaces for shared theological reflection and conversation, support joint worship, events, and liturgical resources, facilitate trust-building, conflict resolution, and collaboration between churches, promotes shared discipleship and leadership development initiatives and seek new members.

In order to keep churches connected, informed, and resourced for effective ministry, Cytun distributes regular news bulletins, policy updates, and ecumenical resources and connects churches to national and international ecumenical networks.

To support the church’s witness in the distinct cultural, linguistic, and spiritual landscape of Wales Cytun engages with cultural festivals, national institutions, and Welsh media, encourages contextual theology and mission rooted in the life of Wales and supports churches in addressing rural, urban, and post-industrial challenges unique to Welsh communities.

Between 1 January and 31 December 2024, Cytûn – Churches Together in Wales – continued its active engagement in public policy on behalf of its member churches and organisations, representing their views to the Welsh and UK Governments, the Senedd, and other national bodies. This work included contributing to consultations on housing and homelessness reform, education policy, and the future of council tax in Wales. Cytûn also facilitated ecumenical input into discussions on climate justice, interfaith relations, and the safeguarding of vulnerable groups, ensuring that the voice of the churches was heard in debates of national significance. Proposed collaboration on communications and campaigning work with Christian Aid in Wales was halted during the year due to financial constraints within that organisation. Throughout the year, the organisation provided briefings, co-ordinated responses, and supported member churches in developing their own policy engagement. Towards the end of 2024, Cytûn’s longstanding Policy Officer, Gethin Rhys, announced his intention to retire by the end of March 2025, following many years of dedicated service. The charity began to put in place arrangements to recruit a new Policy Officer in preparation for this transition.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

Yn ystod y flwyddyn, gwnaeth yr elusen gamau sylweddol wrth ddyfnhau ei heffaith, cryfhau cydweithredu ymhlith eglwysi sy'n aelodau, a gwella ei phresenoldeb cenedlaethol trwy ddigwyddiadau a mentrau allweddol.

Penodwyd Dr Cynan Llwyd yn Ysgrifennydd Cyffredinol Cytûn ym mis Gorffennaf 2024.

Un o uchafbwyntiau'r flwyddyn oedd cydlynu tystiolaeth Gristnogol yn llwyddiannus mewn digwyddiadau cenedlaethol mawr Cymru, gan gynnwys Eisteddfod yr Urdd, yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, a'r Sioe Frenhinol. Roedd y cyfarfodydd hyn yn darparu cyfleoedd gwerthfawr i ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd ehangach ac yn dangos pwer tystiolaeth a rennir mewn lleoliadau diwylliannol amrywiol. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, cynhaliodd yr elusen ddau ddigwyddiad preswyl mawr - y Cyfarfod Arweinwyr yn yr hydref a'r Cyfarfod Preswyl Croeso i Gymru ym mis Hydref, gan hefyd cydlynnu Encil yr Arweinwyr ym mis Chwefror - a ddarparodd fannau ar gyfer myfyrio, cysylltu a chynllunio strategol i arweinwyr eglwysi a'r rhai a oedd newydd gyrraedd Cymru.

Roedd penodi Iestyn Davies fel y Swyddog Polisi newydd yn ddatblygiad sylweddol yng ngallu'r elusen i ymgysylltu'n ddyfnach â materion polisi sy'n effeithio ar gymunedau ffydd. Mae ei rôl eisoes wedi dechrau cryfhau llais yr elusen mewn trafodaethau cenedlaethol a gwella llif gwybodaeth a chefnogaeth i aelodeglwysi.

Parhaodd cefnogaeth eciwmenaidd yn ffocws craidd trwy gydol y flwyddyn. Parhaodd yr elusen i hwyluso tystiolaeth a rennir, cynnull cyfarfodydd ar y cyd, darparu sesiynau briffio amserol, a chynnig adnoddau ar gyfer addoli a hyfforddiant. Mae'r ymdrechion hyn wedi meithrin perthynas gryfach rhwng enwadau ac wedi annog presenoldeb Cristnogol mwy unedig yng Nghymru. Cyfrannodd Encil Arweinwyr Chwefror yn ystyrlon at hyn hefyd, gan gynnig gofod mawr ei angen ar gyfer adnewyddu a myfyrio ymhlith arweinwyr eglwysi.

Yn olaf, cynhaliwyd adolygiad cynhwysfawr o lywodraethu a chyllid, gan sicrhau bod yr elusen yn parhau i fod yn addas i'r diben ac yn ariannol gadarn. Mae'r adolygiad hwn wedi llywio ymdrechion parhaus i wella t l d li d dd h li th t t l fl dd i dd d

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

During the year, the charity made significant strides in deepening its impact, strengthening collaboration among member churches, and enhancing its national presence through key events and initiatives. Dr Cynan Llwyd was appointed General Secretary of Cytûn in July 2024.

One of the year's highlights was the successful coordination of Christian witness at major Welsh national events, including the Urdd Eisteddfod, the National Eisteddfod, and the Royal Welsh Show. These gatherings provided valuable opportunities for engagement with the wider public and demonstrated the power of shared witness in diverse cultural settings. Alongside this, the charity hosted two major residential events — the Leaders Gathering in the autumn and the Welcome to Wales residential in October — which provided spaces for reflection, connection, and strategic planning for church leaders and those newly arrived in Wales.

The appointment of Iestyn Davies as the new Policy Officer marked a significant development in the charity’s capacity to engage more deeply with policy issues affecting faith communities. His role has already begun to strengthen the charity’s voice in national discussions and improve the flow of information and support to member churches.

Ecumenical support remained a core focus throughout the year. The charity continued to facilitate shared witness, convene joint meetings, provide timely briefings, and offer resources for worship and training. These efforts have fostered stronger relationships among denominations and encouraged a more united Christian presence in Wales. The February Leaders Retreat also contributed meaningfully to this, offering a much-needed space for renewal and reflection among church leaders.

Finally, a comprehensive review of governance and finances was undertaken, ensuring that the charity remains fit for purpose and financially sound. This review has informed ongoing efforts to improve transparency, sustainability, and strategic oversight in the year ahead.

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity and the wider society

Prif fuddiolwyr cyhoeddus gwaith yr elusen yw'r miloedd lawer o aelodau unigol a'r nifer fwy fyth sy'n gysylltiedig ag eglwysi, rhwydweithiau a chyrff sy'n aelodau Cytûn ac a wasanaethir ganddynt ym mhob cymuned yng Nghymru a thu hwnt i Gymru. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys rhai o'r eglwysi lleiafrifol ethnig mwy newydd yng Nghymru. Mae eglwysi a grwpiau lleol wedi elwa o ddeunyddiau astudio dwy-ieithog, mewn partneriaeth ag Eglwysi Ynghyd ym Mhrydain ac Iwerddon, ac adnoddau addysgiadol. Cefnogir gwaith y caplaniaid arbenigol ar faes y Sioe Amaethyddol Frenhinol yn weinyddol, a chynigir cefnogaeth ehangach i waith caplaniaethau eciwmenaidd mewn ysbytai a lleoliadau eraill.

Cyflawnwyd nodau Cytûn drwy: bod yn dyst i, a gweithio tuag at undod gweladwy yr Eglwysi Cristnogol o fewn Comisiwn yr Eglwysi Cyfamodol, cynorthwyo gyda’r gwaith a rennir gyd Chyngor Eglwysi Rhyddion Cymru, yn enwedig o ran ymgysylltu â CYSAGau a darparu arbenigedd ym maes polisi cyhoeddus, a thrwy dynnu sylw at waith yr holl eglwysi ac enwadau a chyrff sy'n aelodau mewn cysylltiad gerbron ei gilydd a'r cyhoedd ehangach yng Nghymru.

Trwy ei Fwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr, rhwydweithiau a memoranda dealltwriaeth gyda Chomisiwn yr Eglwysi Cyfamodol a Chyngor Eglwysi Rhyddion Cymru mae cyfle i'r Eglwysi gyfarfod a chynllunio eu gwaith gyda'i gilydd ac i lunio Cynllun Gwaith yr elusen sy’n esblygu dros amser. Mynychodd aelodau staff gynulliadau enwadol, cyrff llywodraethol, synodau a phwyllgorau. Mae gan y tîm staff batrwm o gyfarfodydd cyson sy'n cadw golwg ar gynnydd o ran gwireddu’r Cynllun Gwaith a chyflawni amcanion strategol cyffredinol yr elusen. Mae'r staff yn adrodd yn ôl wrth yr Ymddiriedolwyr, y Grwp Galluogi a'r Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol. Cytunwyd ar gynllun gwaith drafft newydd.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

The main public beneficiaries of the charity’s work are the many thousands of individual members and the many more associated with and served by Cytûn’s member churches, networks and bodies in association in every community in Wales and also outside Wales These include some of the newer ethnic minority churches in Wales. Local churches and groups have benefitted from the production, in partnership with Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, of bilingual study and educational resources. The work of the specialist chaplaincy at the Royal Welsh Showground is supported administratively, and broader support is offered to the work of ecumenical chaplaincies in hospitals and other settings, .

Cytûn’s aims have been achieved by: witnessing to and working towards the visible unity of the Christian Churches within the Commission of the Covenanted Churches, assisting the shared work of the Free Church Council of Wales especially in engagement with SACREs and the provision of expertise in public policy, and in highlighting the work of all the member churches and denominations and bodies in association before each other and the wider public in Wales.

Cytûn provides, through its Board of Trustees, networks and memoranda of understanding with the Commission of the Covenanted Churches and the Free Church Council of Wales an opportunity for the Churches to meet and to plan their work together and to shape the charity’s rolling Workplan. Staff members attended denominational assemblies, governing bodies, synods and committees. The staff team has a rolling pattern of meetings which keep a check on the progress of the Workplan and the delivery of the charity’s overall strategic aims and objectives. The staff reports back to the Board, the Enabling Group and the Annual General Meeting. A new draft Workplan was agreed.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

Statement of Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP 2015.

In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :

to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year. The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 17 to 40 for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 23.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 12, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

Cytûn: Eglwysi Ynghyd yng Nghymru/Churches Together in Wales Limited

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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;

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

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 financial statements to be reached.

The Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Tthe Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit including the guidance on advancement of religion. They believe that the services and support that the Union offers and extends to churches, Local Associations, ministers, church leaders and individual members enable its member churches to better serve the widest possible sectors of their communities. Beyond that the Union enables its members also to support and serve communities across the world through its membership of the Council for World Mission and partnerships including Chrisitan Aid.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, member contributions, donations & grants and some exchange transactions.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performancerelated or other conditions that limit recognition are met.

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.

Income from legacies

Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the payment had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable.

Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainty as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy aredisclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant.

If it is doubtful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities

Donated goods, facilities and services

Donated fixed assets are recognised at the current fair value. All such donations are recognised as donation income, and debited to fixed assets.

Donated goods that are not fixed assets are accounted for at a fair value, unless it is impractical to reliably measure the value of the donated items.

In the absence of any direct evidence of fair value of donated goods, then a value is derived from the cost of the item to the donor or, in the case of goods that are expected to be sold, the estimated resale value after deducting any anticipated costs of sales.

If it is impracticable to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale, or the costs of valuation outweigh the benefits, the donated goods are recognised as income when sold, with an equivalent amount being recognised as an expense.

The costs of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those goods upon receipt. When the goods are distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is adjusted at the time of sale, to the value at the point of distribution and the adjustment is shown as a cost of donations made.

The carrying amount of any stock held for distribution is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. All donated goods are recognised as donation income, and debited to trading stock.When trading stock is subsequently sold, or appropriated to meet an expense, then the carrying value of the stock is recognised as an expense. In accordance with the SORP, goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries, or for consumption by the charity are included in 'legacies and donations '. Goods donated for resale are included in 'Income from other trading activities'

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt. If the goods held are to be distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to reflect the lower of deemed cost adjusted for any loss of service potential and replacement cost. Replacement cost is the economic cost incurred if the charity was to replace the service potential of the donated goods at its own expense in the most economic manner. Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.

Membership subscriptions

The income and any associated Gift Aid or other tax refund from a membership subscription received by the charity in the nature of a gift, is accounted for on the same basis as a donation.

The income from a membership subscription received by the charity where the subscription purchases the right to services or benefits is recognised as income from charitable activities.

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Allocating costs to activities

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-

Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.

Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity.

Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.

Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures

Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Accounting for capital grants and fixed asset funds.

Gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature, given for the purposes of acquiring specific assets to be fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity, are credited to fixed asset funds after the donated asset has been received or sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose.

Where the terms of the gift require the charity to hold the asset on an ongoing basis for a specific purpose, then the fixed asset fund so created is categorised as a restricted fixed asset fund, and the relevant restrictions are noted in the fixed asset note 9.

Where the terms of the gift are met once the asset is acquired, so allowing the charity to use the asset on an unrestricted basis, including the right to receive the proceeds of any future sale of the asset on an unrestricted basis, then the fixed asset fund so created is categorised as a designated fixed asset fund.

When assets are acquired for the furtherance of the charity's objects, utilising the charity's own unrestricted funds, a transfer is made from unrestricted funds to a designated fixed asset fund.

Whether acquired with unrestricted or restricted funds, the asset acquired is initially shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.

As the related assets are depreciated, in accordance with the depreciation policy,in order to reflect the dimunition in the asset,a transfer is made from the relevant fixed asset funds to either unrestricted or restricted revenue funds, as appropriate to the terms of the original gift, if any.

The effect of this policy is that the aggregate of all fixed asset funds shall equate to the net book value of fixed assets.

In the first year that this policy was adopted, a transfer to fixed asset funds was made equivalent to the net book value of the assets.

Any residual liability to the donor arising from, for example, the asset's future sale, is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the event that would trigger repayment of the grant becomes probable in which case a liability for repayment is recognised.

Insofar as this policy relates to Government grants and to the extent that it may be a departure from the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), such departure is justified on the basis that it is in order to comply with the SORP.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Leasing and hire purchase contracts and commitments

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the charity, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability.

The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity 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 on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
