CHRISTIAN PRISON RESOURCING
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors, who are the charity's trustees for the purposes of charity law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
Objects of the charity
We aspire to see prisoners becoming Christlike and reflecting this in their reverence for Christ and the Bible. A Christlike person will also demonstrate a wholeness that will be attractive to those outside the Christian faith both inside prison – in the way they relate to staff and fellow prisoners/detainees – and, after their release, in how they function in the community. Our aim is to operate throughout the UK and to do so in harmony with other Christians working in His Majesty’s prisons and with the support of local churches.
We provide resources to chaplains for themselves and for prisoners/detainees in His Majesty’s Prisons, Young Offenders Institutions and Immigration Removal Centres. Such resources will include but will not be limited to: the preaching and teaching of the Bible; Christian material in the form of books, DVD’s, CD’s and other forms of media; and the training of volunteers to work in prisons and provide these resources. We also seek to link with, and support, churches in which released prisoners will continue in Christian maturity and be integrated back into society, thereby providing public benefit.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
During the course of 2024, the charity’s paid workers and volunteers visited or supplied resources or marked completed study books from 58 prisons and immigration centres (2023: 58). CPR continued to enjoy the lifting of Covid restrictions, allowing prisons to conduct mixed wing Sunday services and fully restart midweek group bible studies on the wings. In addition, more of the charity’s volunteers were allowed back into the prisons.
CPR is well equipped with material to provide to the prisoners including Bible Study courses that are sent off for external marking by our volunteers. During the course of the year, CPR’s team of volunteers marked 5,297 individual studies (2023: 5,165).
During the 2024 calendar year the charity employed 3 staff members (2023:4).
To help prevent the endless cycle of reoffending once prisoners are released, CPR is putting more emphasis on resettlement. CPR has therefore developed a resettlement policy which is gradually being implemented within the establishments in which CPR works.
CPR continues to partner with other churches allowing our Christian brothers and sisters the opportunity to join with us in serving God among prisoners. The charity receives requests for speakers at church events, prayer breakfasts, away days and also preaching at Sunday services. CPR also partners with local churches through the Welcome Directory, which is used by prison chaplains when helping released prisoners to find and get settled into a welcoming and helpful church community.
All work to create, design and obtain approvals for the new Diploma Course has been completed. This course was created to accredit CPR associates with the necessary qualifications to become prison chaplains for employment by HMPPS. CPR currently has 28 associates who are recognised as HMPPS chaplains, a number of which were accredited via the Diploma Course.
The Charity has been trialing an initiative to 'email-a-prisoner' with a view to encourage Bible studies and improve links with CPR associates.
In planning the activities the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

CHRISTIAN PRISON RESOURCING
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Responsibility for setting policy rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity.
New trustee directors are appointed in accordance with the Articles of Association. One third of the remaining trustees are required to retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Additional trustees may be appointed from time to time by the trustees in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Rev D. Fortune retired from the role of director/trustee of CPR on 30 August 2024. He does however continue in his role as Director of Ministry. Mr A. Feak was promoted from his role of Associate to Deputy Director of Ministry.
Financial results
The results for the year are set out on pages 6-14. During this year, there was a surplus of incoming resources over resources expended of £15,216 (2023: deficit of £11,815). This increased the total funds carried forward to £135,807 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: £120,591), of which £29,181 is restricted (2023: £35,257).
The income in 2024 was increased largely due to a £20,000 legacy. Much of the 2023 deficit was in relation to the planned use of the Education Fund, for which funds were already raised in 2022. The trustees continue to be mindful that the charity's income is fairly variable from year to year. Whilst there are many individual supporters and churches who give on a regular basis, a large part of the charity's income is less regular. The charity's reserve policy has been set with this in mind.
Reserves policy
The charity's reserves policy is to maintain unrestricted reserves that remain above typical expenditure over a six month period. Expenditure is defined as unrestricted expenditure plus any anticipated transfer to fund shortfalls in restricted funds. Currently this amounts to annual expenditure of around £70,000, or £35,000 for a six month period.
At the end of the year, the charity held £106,626 (2023: £85,334) in unrestricted reserves of which £30,621 (2023: £30,621) is held as designated reserves. These designated reserves were set aside by the trustees to help employ a new staff member to develop the ministry of CPR, prior to the staff member being able to raise their own support. Excluding the designated reserves, the remaining unrestricted reserves of £76,004 (2023: £54,712) exceed the typical expenditure over a six month period. Therefore the reserves of the charity satisfy its reserves policy.
Principal funding source
Finance for the charity is mainly obtained from the support derived from individual Christians, Christian organisations and churches. In addition the charity claims Gift Aid on qualifying donations. Occasionally the charity launches a special appeal among its supporters. Approximately half of the income consists of regular monthly or quarterly gifts.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Key risks and uncertainties
The Charity is exposed to various risks including reputational risk caused by associates not following HMPPS protocol, safety of volunteers and staff and financial stability and fundraising. Each risk identified is assessed and reviewed in terms of its potential impact and likelihood. Training and guidance is provided to associates to ensure that risk management practices are understood and followed consistently.
Plans for the future
The charity has plans to employ ex-prisoners to work alongside prison leavers to aid resettlement. The charity understands that the risks are high and those supporting the initiative financially will be fully aware of the risks. However, not to go forward with the initiative taking into account the risk factor would be against the ethos of what CPR stands for.
Responsibilities of directors under company law
The directors are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the directors 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 the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the directors and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CHRISTIAN PRISON RESOURCING ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 6 to 14 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 8 and 9.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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 accounts to be reached.

CHRISTIAN PRISON RESOURCING
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
i) Recoverable Gift Aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift Aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
-
ii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly for marking papers. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes bank interest.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
Page 8
CHRISTIAN PRISON RESOURCING
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
2 Accounting Policies continued
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a reducing balance basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Equipment
25% on reducing balance
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
