**CENTRE FOR THEOLOGY AND COMMUNITY LIMITED** 

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

The Directors have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

The object of the Centre for Theology and Community Limited is ‘to advance public knowledge and mutual understanding of the teachings, traditions and practices of different faith communities including promoting good relations between persons of different faiths in particular but not exclusively by providing education and training, developing a network in order to share good practice and experience, by facilitating supervised placements for students and by engaging in research.’ 

Our main area of operation is East London, and much of our work is with Christian congregations – equipping them to work with their neighbours for community transformation, through the practices of community organising, theological reflection and prayer, and helping them to use their resources more effectively to fulfil this mission. A key partner in this work is Citizens UK, and its local affiliate, London Citizens. 

## **Government** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 15th June 2006 and registered as a charity on 21st November 2007. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established its objects and powers, and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, its members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. _Recruitment and appointment of members of the Trustee Board:_ 

The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. At the end of the first year, all Trustees are required to retire, and one third will do so at subsequent Annual General Meetings. The Trustees have all received training on their responsibilities, and the Chair of Trustees is responsible for the induction of new Trustees, when the occasion arises. This involves ensuring awareness of a Trustee's responsibilities, the governing document and the work of the charity. _Organisational Structure:_ 

The Trustees are responsible for setting policy and strategy. Day-to day management and running of the charity is delegated to Canon Dr Angus Ritchie, the Executive Director. The overall pay policy for staff is set by the Trustees, with benchmarking of pay to comparable roles in community organising and church leadership. The charity has no subsidiaries, but is a member of the Citizens UK community organising

alliance. CTC has no direct volunteers, but supports churches and other organisations in recruiting and training volunteers for their community engagement. _Membership:_ 

The membership of the charity currently comprises John Deacon (Chair), Vanessa Conant, Cecilia Dewu and Josephine Canny. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The Centre's work has continued to flourish and grow. Once again, the Trustees want to pay tribute to the dedication and creativity of the staff team and of the people and congregations with whom CTC works. The Centre’s growing impact is also a sign of the power of its methodology – developing local congregations and their leaders through community organising, rooted in theological reflectiom and prayer. 

## **1. Organised Churches** 

CTC has three main strands of work focused on developing organising in Anglican, Roman Catholic and Pentecostal congregations. 

Our work in the Church of England centres on a programme on _Harnessing the Potential of Community Organising for Congregational Growth._ The programme has funding from the Church of England!s Strategic Development Fund. It has exceeded its targets for numerical growth in local churches, as well as catalysing increased social action by church members and their neighbours. We are now in conversation with the Church of England about funding for roll-out work in other areas, and how best to disseminate the learning. 

The Centre!s partnership with the Parish of St George-in-the-East continues to support the church on a parallel journey, and with St George’s, CTC is at the heart of the renewal of the Guild Church of St Katharine Cree in the City of London as a church focused on low-waged workers. 

The William Seymour Programme has funding to accompany Pentecostal churches on a similar journey, and its work is also showing measurable growth in number, depth and social impact. 

CTC has begun a three-year strategic partnership with the Oblates of Mary Immaculate Anglo-Irish Province, engaging in congregational development work in Roman Catholic congregations and reflecting on how such work exemplifies the “Synodal Journey” upon which Pope Francis has called the wider Church to embark. 

## **2. Organised Leaders** 

The Wagstaff Course is a year-long evening class in faith and organising, and is now integrated into work with local parishes and congregations. It has continued to grow and develop, and we are now exploring how a “lighter” version of the course might be made accessible to a wider range of leaders. We are also developing training videos to disseminate the work over a much wider geographical area. 

We continue to offer internships to graduates from outside east London, through our thriving Buxton Leadership Programme, and are continuing to explore how best to develop an Apprenticeship programme for non-graduates 

Page 2 



Our pioneering Chaplaincy at London Design and Engineering University Technical College (DLE UTC) continues to be a much-valued hub for developing young leaders, and we are exploring how it can become a resourcing hub for wider work. 

## **3. Organised Neighbourhoods** 

We continue to deliver the Near Neighbours Programme in eastern London for HM Government and the Church Urban Fund, and have a particular focus on the way community organising can help to create and deepen relationships across faiths and cultures. In east London, the programme is blending the approach of broad-based community organising with that of asset-based community development in ways that are mutually beneficial. 

Last winter, our neighbourhood organising work also involved supporting churches and other groups in developing “Warm Welcome” hubs – and exploring how they could lead on to deeper, long-term relationship-building and action for justice. 

All of our action is rooted in theological reflection and prayer. We continue to produce blogs, reports and books to equip congregations and their leaders – and our 2021 conference with Pope Francis has been a catalyst for conversations about future research partnerships, and ways to share resources and insights more widely. 

. 

## **Future Plans** 

The Trustees look forward to the future with confidence, with each of CTC’s areas of work in 2022-3 providing a basis for deeper work in east London in the years ahead – and a greater sharing of learning with partners in other places. 

In planning all these activities, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in December 2008. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Charity's accounting period ended on 31 March 2023. Unrestricted free reserves at 31 March were £68k (up from £15k in 2022). The unrestricted surplus of £53k means that we have more than achieved the target of 3 months of free reserves (see reserves note below). 

## _Principal Funding Sources_ 

The main funders for the year and income relating to the year for each funder are outlined in the accounts. 

## _Conflicts of Interest_ 

The Trustees regularly review potential conflicts of interest, and will be mindful of this in the recruitment and training of any new Trustees in the year ahead. 

## _Investment Policy_ 

The funds received during the period under review were not sufficient to justify separate investment. 

## _Reserves Policy_ 

Page 3 



The Trustees recognize the need for a reasonable level of reserves to protect the charity from fluctuations in funding and sudden emergency requirements. As indicated last year, our aim has been to build up free unrestricted reserves to three months"#unrestricted costs. This would indicate a target of £11k based on 2022/23 unrestricted expenditure. Free, unrestricted reserve levels at the end of 2022/23 were at £64k which is well above the target level. 

The total funds of the Centre were £154k at 31[st] March 2023, comprising £78k of unrestricted and £76k of restricted funds. 

Trustees therefore consider it to be appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as the charity is able to meet its day to day working capital requirements and this is not expected to change in the next year. 

## _Risk Statement_ 

The Centre conducts an annual review of operational risks. Key risks identified, and action taken to mitigate them, are as follows 

- _Human resources (HR)_ - As the organisation grows, we have instigated new line management and staff support processes, and have outsourced our HR to Peninsula, whose package of support legal indemnity insurance. 

- _Safeguarding –_ We continue to review our safeguarding policy and its effective implementation regularly, which is particularly important with our increased work with young people and our wide range of partnership working. 

- _Finance –_ Our financial resilience has been substantially strengthened by inhouse training of more staff in fundraising, and in monitoring and evaluation, and this has led to a substantial increase in both our income and our unrestricted reserve levels. With the appointment of Cecilia Dewu as Treasurer, there is now a Trustee with particular responsibility for financial oversight. 

- _Operations review –_ We are undertaking a wider review of operations, developing a Senior Management Team under the Director so that responsibilities are shared more widely. 

## _Directors' Responsibilities_ 

Charity law requires us as Directors to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. 

1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 

2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts. 

- 4.Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

We are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities. 

## _Preparation of the report_ 

This report of the Board of Trustees has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Centre for Theology and Community Limited ('the Company')** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of The Centre for Theology and Community Ltd** 

I report on the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, related notes and are set out on pages 8 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’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. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).  The charity is required by company law to prepare accrual based accounts. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under part 16 of the 2006 Companies Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements 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. 

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body.  My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made. 

## **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** 

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in Section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I an qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered institutute of Certified Accountants which is one of the listed bodies. 

- I have completed by examination. I confirm that no matter has come to my attention: 

   - 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 section 130 of the 2011 Act ; and 

Page 6 



- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Regulation 8 of the Accounts Regulations and the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **CENTRE FOR THEOLOGY AND COMMUNITY LIMITED** 

## **Notes to the Accounts FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless states in the relevant note(s). The Centre for Theology and Community Limted (the "Charity" or "Company") meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception that investments are included at fair value. 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Policies** 

In preparing the accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), any restatement was required to comparative or opening balances. No adjustments were considered necessary. 

## Donated and grant income: 

Donated income and grants receivable are generally taken into account when received by the charity. Grant funding is also recognised in situations where entitlement to the funding is obtained by the charity but where funds have not been received (see note 6). In addition, elements of grants are deferred where performance related conditions are not met by the end of the accounting year (see note 9). Income received in circumstances where a claim for repayment of tax has been or will be made to HM Revenue & Customs is grossed up for the tax recoverable. Any amount of tax reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs but not yet received is shown within the charity's debtors. 

## Other income and expenditure: 

Investment income is taken into account when receivable. 

## Funds: 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without specified purpose and are available for purposes as directed by the trustees.  Restricted funds are amounts received where the donor has specified the purpose for which it should be used. 

## Fixed assets and depreciation: 

Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £500 when they are written off on purchase. 

Depreciation periods are as follows: 

Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings Over 50 years Equipment Between 3 and 7 years 

## Pension costs: 

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for certain employees. Pension premiums are charged as they are paid. 

## Taxation 

The company is a registered charity and is exempt from taxation under the Income & Corporation Taxes Acts. 

## Cashflow statement 

The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Financial Reporting Standard 1 and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year. 

## Investments 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transactional value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities inludes net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. 

## Going concern 

The Trustees believe the charity to be a going concern because most staff members come with funding, and are only on contract for the period of that funding. The charity has managed to secure an increasing number of these grants which are guaranteed across several years.
