Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present the report and audited accounts for the Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Introduction

The Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph of the Third Order Regular of St Francis of Assisi (the Order) was founded in 1883 and is regulated by a Trust Deed dated 27[th] December 1963.

The Order was incorporated by order of the Charity Commissioners sealed on the 2nd day of June 1983 in the matter of a Charity for Roman Catholic purposes administered in connection with the Congregation of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order Regular of St Francis of Assisi (hereinafter called "the Congregation") which Charity is regulated by a Trust Deed dated the 27[th] day of December 1963 as varied or affected by Schemes of the Charity Commissioners of the 14[th] day of December 1982 and the 29[th] day of August 1996.

The Order is registered with the Charity Commission under Charity Registration Number 1135474 and with Companies House as a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee with no Share Capital (Registered Company Number 07010772 (England and Wales)). The Company was incorporated on 7 September 2009 and the functions and assets of The Order were transferred to the Company on 1 January 2011 by a Transfer Deed dated 18 February 2011.

The Congregation is an international Roman Catholic religious congregation supporting 95 Sisters worldwide and it is divided into five distinct regions or administrative areas across the world .

Mission

The Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph aims to support the religious and other charitable works carried on by the members of the Congregation and to care for those members throughout their lives within the Congregation.

The charitable work of the Congregation is authorised in England and Wales or elsewhere under the direction of the Congregation as the Trustees and this is currently undertaken in England, Ireland, United States of America, Kenya, Uganda, Ecuador and The Netherlands.

The ministries of the Sisters of the Congregation are built on and supported by a ministry of prayer and benefit large numbers of the general public. Our ministries fall into the following main areas:

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

• Social and Pastoral Work

Many Sisters of the Congregation are involved in various forms of social or pastoral work, including care of the elderly, the sick and under privileged and chaplaincy in hospitals and universities.

• Operation of Residential Care Establishments

During the year the Sisters provided care and assistance to the elderly at two establishments operated by the Charity; Franciscan Convent, Blackburn which provides care for Sisters of the Congregation and some members of the general public and Franciscan Convent, Burnley which provides care for Sisters of the Congregation who are in need of care.

• Overseas Missionary Work

The Sisters are engaged in missionary activity in and beyond our own country or culture. The Charity helps to support Sisters working in healthcare, education, social and pastoral ministries in Kenya, Uganda and Ecuador.

Governance, Structure and Management

In terms of Canon Law, the Congregation is governed at an international level by the Congregational Leader and her General Councillors in Manchester, UK. They are elected every six years at a meeting of representatives of all the regions of the Congregation. The Congregational Leader and her Council govern the whole Congregation and historically have particular responsibility for the UK, The Netherlands and The United States. Ireland, Ecuador and Kenya are governed by a Regional Leader and her Council but are responsible to the Congregational Leadership Team who are the Trustees of the Charity. Uganda is governed by the Regional Leader and Council in Kenya. The Trustees are elected for their personal qualities, their understanding and experience of the ministries of the Sisters and to secure a good skills mix among them.

Each community is governed by a local Leader appointed by the Regional or Congregational Leader. Four communities without a resident local leader are now responsible to one appointed local leader. There is a system of accountability operational throughout the Congregation to ensure that the Congregational Leader and her Councillors are aware of the progress and development of the ministries carried out by the Sisters of the Congregation. The Congregational Leader visits every community at least once every three years and visits are also made by the Sisters in the Leadership Team at regular intervals.

In terms of Civil Law the Charity is governed by a Trust Deed dated 27 December 1963 and is a Registered Charity. The Trustees of the Charity are the Congregational Leader, her four Councillors and the Congregational Bursar. At the present time the Congregational Bursar is also a Councillor and this means there are five instead of the normal six Trustees. As all the Trustees are members of the Congregation they have a detailed knowledge of the work of the Charity and its structure. On being appointed there is a handover period of up to six months during which time the old and new teams work together to ensure continuity and a full understanding of responsibilities. Trustees are required to take part in on-going training to ensure they are kept up to date with changes in legal, accountancy and investment regulations.

Sister Maureen Murphy – Congregational Leader

Having had a career in hospital administration, Sister Maureen entered the Congregation at the age of 31. After initial training she completed a Certificate in Pastoral Studies at the Missionary Institute in London and was then appointed to Ecuador where she worked in catechetics, parish ministry and the initiation of Base Ecclesial Communities. After four years, sickness necessitated Sister Maureen’s return to the UK where she was asked to work in congregational finance. In 1993 Sister Maureen was appointed Congregational Bursar, a position she held until the 2011 General Chapter. In 1999 she was elected a General Councillor and she was re-elected for a second term in 2005. Sister Maureen served for six years as Chair of the Association of Provincial Bursars. She is also Treasurer to the Christian Council on Ageing.

Sister Maureen’s interest in theology led her to study by distance learning for a Bachelor of Theology Degree and she later obtained an MA in Theology, writing her dissertation on the subject of Spirituality and Ageing. Using her research she has been able to help members of our own Congregation who are ageing and has been invited to speak to other Congregations needing help in this area. She has also been able to train lay staff both in our own homes and those of other Congregations.

Sister Maureen’s experience in Ecuador means that she is a fluent Spanish speaker and therefore able to communicate with our young Sisters in Ecuador who are not yet fluent in English.

We live in a time of great change in every area of life and Sister Maureen has completed study at the Craighead Institute in Glasgow following a diploma course in Organisational consultancy and facilitation to help enable our Congregation to move forward, change and develop with the needs of our time.

Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees, who are also the Directors of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph for the purpose of company law, 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 Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the Charitable Company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities .

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the information on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Structure and Management Reporting

The Trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the Charity. They meet regularly to review developments with regard to the Charity and to make any important decisions in conjunction with advice from our Professional Advisers .

Sisters live in the UK in 9 communities. The majority of houses are in Salford Diocese where the Congregation was founded and one house is in Freshfield, Liverpool. From these various locations the Sisters minister to the poor and marginalised in society. Local leaders, in charge of these communities, liaise regularly with the Trustees.

The day to day responsibility for Franciscan Convent, Blackburn, a registered residential care home, rests with the Manager, Mrs Cheryl Weall. Similarly, day to day responsibility for Franciscan Convent, Burnley, rests with the Manager, Mrs Janet Crawford. Both Managers meet regularly with the Congregational Bursar who reports back to the Trustees.

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Overseas Houses

There are overseas houses located in Ireland, the United States of America, Kenya, Uganda and Ecuador. In addition there are two Sisters located in The Netherlands. The Dutch Sisters reside in a state run retirement home and their Dutch Pensions are used to pay the retirement home fees. Any surplus personal allowance is periodically remitted to the UK Central Fund. No bank account is maintained in The Netherlands.

Internal transactions of overseas houses are not incorporated in the financial statements set out on pages 35 to 64.

Unaudited accounts for each overseas region and notes thereon, are set out on pages 66A to 114A.

There is now only one Sister in the United States and an accountant is employed part-time to prepare the accounts. There is no longer a US Region, the remaining Sister living in America is now part of the UK area.

A program to strengthen financial management overseas is ongoing. This program includes regular visits to each Region by the Bursar General and a re-affirmation of the financial guidelines under which each Region operates with particular regard to the requirement to communicate financial changes and planned financial changes to the Bursar General.

Where appropriate, the appointment of external Regional accountants will be considered and this has already been actioned in the United States of America Area. The Africa Region have appointed external auditors who assist with the preparation of the Africa Region accounts which are set out on pages 84A – 109A.

Working with Other Organisations

The Charity works closely with a number of other charities in the field of providing care to the vulnerable and elderly. In some instances Sisters are employed by these organisations, whilst in other circumstances the relationships are more informal. In all cases, working together with other charities enhances communication and understanding, thus enabling services to the elderly to be provided more effectively and avoiding duplication of effort. Examples of the organisations for which members have worked and with which the charity has co-operated during the year are as follows:

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford Caritas, Diocese of Salford Rainbow Family Trust, Salford Mill Hill Missionaries The Medaille Trust L’Arche, Manchester

Conflict of Interest

In order to follow best practice, the Charity requires a register of interests to be compiled and maintained by the Trustees on an ongoing basis. The table below records the potential conflicts of interest where one of the Trustees of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph is also a Trustee of other Charities.

Public Benefit

The Charity Commission now requires charities to make a statement in their Trustees Report about the benefit they provide to the public. We welcome this opportunity to highlight our work because all our ministries are people centred and this applies both at home and overseas.

A detailed list of our ministries is given under the section heading Social and Pastoral Work on page 20. In addition to these various works our Sisters strive in their daily living and contact with people to provide a listening ear, kindness and practical help in the form of food and clothing to the many people who come knocking on our doors, a situation which is becoming more frequent as government help decreases and more people need support.

We welcome into our homes those who wish to join our communities for prayer and who seek spiritual help and guidance. Many such people are unable to afford to pay for professional help and they welcome the opportunity to share problems and seek solutions through counselling or spiritual direction given by our Sisters.

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Whilst much of our charitable work is highly visible there are also immeasurable benefits to the public which derive from our ministry of prayer. We receive prayer requests from all over the world through our website and people greatly value this service.

Our elderly and infirm Sisters remain fully engaged in this ministry long after they become frail and physically disabled and they therefore continue to contribute to the well being of those around them.

Activities and specific objectives

As stated above under ‘Mission’ the activities of the Charity can be divided into 4 principal areas:-

1 . Caring for Members of the Congregation

In common with many other religious congregations, the age profile of the Sisters in the Congregation is increasing as existing members grow older and there are fewer religious vocations except in our Kenya Region. The age profile is shown below.

The Congregation has an obligation, both legal and moral, to care for its members, none of whom have resources of their own and all of whom have devoted many years of their lives to the care of the elderly, poor and marginalized of our society. As the age profile of the Congregation increases so too does the need to provide increasing and increasingly expensive care to the Sisters. At the year end date, 11 Sisters were cared for in our two Care Homes. It remains the aim of the Trustees to:

2. Social and Pastoral Work

The following are examples of social and pastoral work undertaken by individual Sisters who play an important role in local communities.

The aims of Trustees in this area include:

3. Care Homes

The Charity operates two registered Care Homes for the elderly. The philosophy of care in both homes aims to provide the residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which their care, well being and comfort are of prime importance.

The mission of the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph flows from our belief in the sanctity of life and the dignity of the human person. We believe every person is created in the image of God and has an equal right to our respect, care and love.

20

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Our Franciscan ethos is the value base of our holistic care expressed in meeting the physical, spiritual, social and psychological needs of our older, sick and infirm Sisters. We provide this care in collaboration with our co-workers, sharing in the mission of Christ. “I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10)

Franciscan Convent, Blackburn

There are thirteen registered rooms, several of which have en-suite facilities. There is also another floor that is not registered and which is used for the Sisters living in the convent but not requiring care. The Home provides care for both our own Sisters and for female members of the general public. The Home has its own chapel, which is open to visitors, and large grounds. The last Care Quality Commission Inspection which took place in January 2020 stated that the residents told us “they felt very safe and well cared for in the home and the staff were always kind, caring and respectful of their dignity and privacy”.

In February 2021 The Care Quality Commission undertook a targeted inspection looking at the infection control and prevention measures in place. Their findings stated, among other points, were that “we were assured the provider was promoting safety through the layout and hygiene practices of the premises” and “we were assured the provider was making sure infection outbreaks could be effectively prevented or managed”.

The residents are taken out for leisure pursuits. Sister Rosina and Maggie are photographed at Banny’s fish and chip restaurant whilst out on a trip.

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III a buffet lunch was held at the Home on 6 May 2023 and some photos from the day are shown below.

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

HEALTHWATCH Blackburn with Darwen, conducted an announced Enter and View visit on 3 May 2022. This was undertaken by authorised representatives from Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen who have the authority to enter health and social care premises, announced or unannounced, to observe and assess the nature and quality of services and obtain the view of those people using the services.

In the Summary of their report the following observations were made:

The Franciscan Convent represents a true community environment with members of the order and the wider community living together in a very caring environment. The grounds and the building are spacious, well maintained and homely with opportunities for faith-based activities if chosen. Both staff and residents (who were not Sisters) told us that they felt comfortable in the environment “I am not religious at all, but this does not matter, there is no pressure to be involved.”

The staff to resident ratio is very favourable and staff were generally long serving, facilitating a high level of person-centred provision. This was perhaps captured best by a relative who told us. “The best thing is staff spend time with her even if there are no actual care needs at the time, I don’t think she would get that anywhere else no matter how much you pay.”

Franciscan Convent, Burnley

The Home has sixteen registered beds including three which are registered specifically for those suffering from dementia. Care is provided only for Sisters of the Congregation at the present time but can also be extended to Sisters of other Congregations. The Home has its own chapel, spacious lounges and a library. Its town centre location means that it is easily accessible and ensures that the Residents can avail themselves of local facilities and amenities.

In February 2023 the Manager carried out a Quality Assurance Questionnaire for the Sisters.

Sister Maria who was on respite care following knee surgery responded as follows:

Sister Sarah with one of the staff

“The staff seem to have the ability to discern my needs and supported my efforts to get back on my feet. With great support, encouragement and challenge I was making steady progress which I certainly could not have done without their invaluable help, kindness and compassion.”

A Note of Appreciation from one of the Sisters:

“Some weeks ago, six of the sisters and some members of staff came down with the Covid virus. I would like it recorded the remaining staff looked after us extremely well. As we were

isolated, meals were brought to our rooms, hot, nutritious, and beautifully presented, and all done with a smile. So, I think a big "Thank You" is due to all staff, cooks and carers for their care, kindness and courtesy. Nothing was too much trouble.” Sister Kilday

In running these two Homes the Trustees aim to provide excellent residential care, ensuring that Residents needs are fully met and that they enjoy as high a quality of life as possible. Both homes are regularly inspected and any indication of failure to comply with Care Quality Commission standards is immediately addressed and corrected.

4. Overseas Missionary Work

The Congregation has Sisters working overseas in Kenya, Uganda, Ecuador and Ireland. The one Sister in the USA is has now retired but still engages in voluntary work. There are also two Sisters living in retirement in The Netherlands. A tremendous need continues for ministry overseas and the Sisters are engaged in many medical, pastoral, education, social work and catechetical apostolates particularly among the poor.

The increased number of Sisters in Kenya has enabled our work there to expand and to respond to further unmet local needs. In promoting Christian values in their mission of evangelisation the Sisters endeavour to encourage confidence in the local people in order to help them to become self sufficient and to undertake leadership roles. We aim to continue to expand our work as needs arise.

In December 2020 our Kenyan Sisters took over the management of St Vincent de Paul Mission hospital from the Sisters of Mercy. The hospital is in Muhoroni which is an outlying, rural area, of Kisumu diocese. The Sisters of Mercy asked our Sisters to take over the running of the hospital as they no longer had the personnel. The hospital offers a much needed service to the local community, comprising inpatient and outpatient care, maternity services, a mortuary, an x-ray department and a pathology laboratory.

The novitiate in Nairobi continues to thrive and £14,000 per year is transferred each year from the UK to fund Kenya formation programmes. It is the aim of the Trustees to continue this funding for as long as possible.

Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults

The Trustees recognise the need to ensure the protection and safety of all those the Charity serves. This means that all Sisters who are in any kind of ministry in Great Britain have to obtain clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The same applies to all staff and volunteers. The Trustees are committed to the implementation of all policies and procedures of the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency.

Investment Policy

The Trust Deed dated 27[th] December 1963 does not specify investment powers and the 1961 Trustee Investment Act therefore applied.

Under a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 29[th] August 1996 the Trustees were granted wider powers of investment with an 85%:15% split between wider and narrower range investments.

The Trustee Act 2000 superseded this scheme and investments are now regulated by the Trustee Act 2000.

The Charity’s Investments are managed by True Bearing of Euxton, Lancashire. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes into account income requirements in the short, medium and long term. An investment committee comprising of two Trustees, two Sisters of the Congregation and professional advisers meets monthly to review our investments. The aim is to provide income and capital growth to fund existing and future apostolates of the Congregation, both in the UK and overseas. Funds are also required for initial and on-going training programmes and for the costs of caring for our sick, elderly and incapacitated Sisters.

The policy is to maximise total return through a diversified portfolio and a level of income determined by the Trustees. We also endeavour to invest in socially responsible funds consistent with a Roman Catholic ethos in order to avoid investing in organisations or areas which have policies inconsistent with social justice.

Our ethical considerations will always take into account the requirement for security and the need to provide an acceptable investment performance but we are mindful of Christian teaching and endeavour to avoid investment in activities contrary to our beliefs.

Achievements and Performance – Review of activities

We now describe the main achievements during the year in each of our principal activities.

1. Care of the Members of the Congregation

Throughout the year the Charity continued to assist the Sisters of the Congregation in their charitable and religious work. Eleven Sisters were cared for in the Charity’s own care homes and the Charity enabled other Sisters to work and volunteer in their chosen ministries.

The 2023 General Chapter finalised the review and evaluation of the Congregation which was started at the 2017 General Chapter and will result in a restructuring including changes to our constitutions. The new constitutions will only be implemented when we receive approval from Rome.

2. Social and Pastoral Work

Throughout the year Sisters continued to carry out various social and pastoral ministries and to play an invaluable role in local communities through their work. We continue to expand our ministries in response to local need and large numbers of people benefit from our work both in the UK and in all overseas missions. We describe the work of two of our sisters to illustrate some of our charitable activities.

a) Sister Norah Nyausi

Sister Norah, whose area of specialization, in her degree qualification, is Leadership and Management with a focus on International Relations, has been managing St Francis Rehabilitation project for children with special physical needs in Malindi Diocese, Kenya, for the last three years. She says she has gained helpful skills, knowledge, and competence in inclusive disability activities over the years. Working with groups of families who are either affected directly or indirectly has made her address some key areas that parents/caregivers face while taking care of their children. Sister Norah says: “I have come to love working with those on the margins of the society.”

Sister Norah

Background and Purpose

St. Francis Rehabilitation project was established in 2007 to holistically attend to physically handicapped children between the ages of 5 and 18 years for the purpose of improving their health conditions through rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and treatment, imparting skills to Children with Disabilities so that they may achieve some level of autonomy in carrying out activities of daily living, and be able to participate in formal education. The project seeks to build a conducive environment for people living with disabilities in Malindi and Kilifi County as a whole through action that reduces stigma associated with disability and supports community structures to be more responsive to the needs of people living with a disability. The project contributes to the 4th UN Sustainable Development Goal to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and St Francis Rehabilitation Centre promote life-long learning opportunities for all.

Services

The project has been faithful in providing rehabilitative services to Children living with disabilities in this catchment area where there is a gap in such services. Currently, there are 32 children resident at the Centre, 10 children who come each day and 42 in the outreach programmes.

Some of the achievements in the area of interventions include:

Advocacy

Over a long period of time St Francis Centre has been engaging the people in the area on sensitization of the rights and care for children with special needs. Sister Norah

26

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

explains that they do this by carrying out advocacy activities every year such as on “The Day of the African Child” and “World Disability Day”. With these activities, she continues, we have helped the community to understand that Children with Disabilities have rights that need to be safeguarded. Finally, Sister Norah emphasizes “we have been able to lobby the National Council of Persons with Disabilities to formally recognize and register our children and the majority of the children now have NCPD identification cards. Registration with the National Council of People with Disabilities (NCPWD) is critical in assisting children or any people with disabilities to access statutory support”.

Sister Norah says: “We hope to continue bringing Sister Norah with some positive change through the services we offer in St children at St Francis Francis Centre and in the four villages where we have been extending our psycho-social support. We are grateful to all the people of goodwill who have made the development milestones a reality”.

Sister Mary Monari

Sister Mary Monari was the first Kenyan Sister to become a Franciscan Missionary of St Joseph and she has now celebrated over 25 years in the Congregation. Sister Mary is a registered nurse and midwife and since 1991 has worked as a nurse mainly in Kenya, apart from 10 years spent in our mission in Ecuador serving the local people especially by supporting those of African origin who were marginalised in Ecuador.

Sister Mary (4[th] from right) with some co-workers

Sister Mary manages a Health Centre in Marigat, Baringo County, under the auspices of the Catholic diocese of Nakuru. As a Congregation, in Kenya, the Sisters work in support of the government health system and go where the government cannot reach.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Mobile Clinics

Mary says there is a great need for health care services, namely maternal care, and child welfare clinics, as well as health education in remote, interior places. Because of this the Health Centre has outreach services in the form of mobile clinics treating people in far to reach areas to improve their health. Sister Mary says: “Most of these places are in war zones where the communities fight and do raiding of animals and end up killing one another. The mobile clinics are the best way

Sister Mary (centre) with some mothers

to care for the people’s health because they are always on the move – internally displaced – and our health facility follows them with health services”.

Health Education

The facility also addresses health in children and youth in schools by teaching on communicable and non-communicable diseases as a way of prevention of diseases in the society and in the young population. In the school health programme examination, treatment of minor illness and referral of complicated conditions is done.

Maternity Services

The Health Centre facility in Marigat assists in the referred clients from the mobile clinics especially the antenatal mothers who come in to have a skilled, qualified and professional delivery. Sister Mary says: “mothers who come from a far distance prefer to come to our facility for they are sure of getting good service, as we are under government supervision and are not a business facility of which there are a good number”.

Sister Mary points out that reporting to the government in all the health activities carried out by the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph is important because this contributes to the data in health systems to reduce mortality and morbidity at all levels. Regular reports are always made and this accountability to the government also allows for support to come from the government in the form of drugs and other medical supplies when they are available.

Advocacy is another one of the services offered to the local people by the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph. In Baringo, in the Health sector, this covers education on the Rights and Protection of children, youths and mothers.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Sister Mary says that it also includes protection of the mothers from gender based violence (GBV), which often happens, and that creating awareness on what are the people’s human rights is greatly needed and this improves their lives.

To improve services the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph work in partnership with other organizations such as the Red Cross, World Vision, USAID Safaricom Foundation and others, to be able to succeed in our mission of reaching out with Health services to those who are left the furthest behind in our world.

3. Care Homes

Franciscan Convent, Blackburn

The quality of care provided in the Home is constantly monitored by the Trustees and the Home receives good reports from the Care Quality Commission. The care was recognised by Blackburn with Darwen Social Services and the Home was invited to be part of its Quality Assurance Scheme. All staff have recognised NVQ qualifications and many are now working to attain higher grades.

Franciscan Convent, Burnley

This home is also constantly monitored by the Trustees and inspected by the Care Quality Commission. It is well staffed by dedicated and qualified workers and an internal quality assurance scheme monitors the standard of care achieved

The home is used by the Congregation for UK gatherings of the Sisters so that the more frail Sisters who live there, and would otherwise be unable to travel, can still attend.

4. Overseas Missionary Work

A tremendous need continues for ministry overseas and the Sisters are engaged in many medical, pastoral, educational, social work and catechetical apostolates particularly among the poor. We have been able to expand our ministries in Kenya and particularly working with Street Children, widows and orphans of AIDS victims as well as AIDS patients in our clinics and home-based care programmes. The Sisters also manage a home for physically disabled children who are stigmatised and ostracised in the society and culture.

29

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Our numbers continue to expand in Kenya and Uganda and we are now in eleven different areas of Kenya and one area in northern Uganda. Our houses are mostly in remote areas where our work includes health care, educational services, children's services, pastoral and social work with people who live in the poorest of circumstances.

In 2011 four of our Sisters opened a new mission in northern Uganda, among the Karamojong people. This is a very remote and neglected area of the country where access to maternal and child health care as well as to education is very limited. Our Sisters are making a difference to the quality of lives of the people. One Sister who is a qualified nursery school teacher runs the nursery school, another is working pastorally among the people and a third is running a bakery project jointly with the Mill Hill Missionaries.

The mission in Witu located in Malindi Diocese has established a school for children who would otherwise not be educated. At the beginning of May 2013 we closed our house in Nyabururu, in Kisii diocese, and opened a new house in Nyamira which is in a more remote and needy area of Kisii diocese.

At the end of November 2020 the Africa Region took on the management of St. Vincent's Mission Hospital in Muhoroni which is in a rural area of Kisumu diocese in western Kenya. This will be our second house in Kisumu diocese. The hospital was started and developed by the Sisters of the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy who approached our Congregation to take over the management of the hospital as they no longer have the personnel. This hospital offers a much needed service to the local community comprising inpatient and outpatient care, maternity services, a mortuary, an x-ray department and pathology laboratory. We are very grateful for this opportunity to expand our work for the benefit of the people in this area.

In Quito, Ecuador, one of our Sisters who started a counselling service for priests and religious in the city in 2008 is now working full time and providing a much needed service which also includes an increasing number of lay people among the clients. She also responds to requests from Religious Communities for workshops with a psycho-spiritual focus and also helps to run courses on Safeguarding. Santa Clara house in Quito closed in late December 2018. Santa Clara was one of our two houses in Quito. Apart from the one remaining house in Quito we also have a house in Puerto Quito in the coastal region of Ecuador where the Sisters are engaged in parish work, catechetics and healthcare for the disabled.

Investment Performance

The conflict in Ukraine has brought both poor performance for our Mill Hill investments and inflation at rates not seen for more than 40 years. This high level of inflation impacts all areas and in particular has made the operation of our care homes very much more expensive. Investments were made in accordance with the Trustees Investment Policy referred to earlier in this report and in compliance with ethical guidelines.

Financial Review

Results for the Year

During 2022 total incoming resources amounted to £723,571 (2021 £849,244). Of the incoming resources, a total of £100,918 (2021 £45,125) related to fees receivable and other income of the Charity’s two care homes. £580,533 (2021 £779,871) was received by way of donations and legacies. This figure includes salaries and pensions of the Sisters amounting to £457,864 (2021 £591,525) covenanted to the Charity. Investment income and interest receivable totalled £6,953 (2021 £7,369) of which £6,689 (2021 £7,247) relates to designated funds.

Resources expended totalled £1,483,940 (2021 £1,490,846). The total expenditure on the Charity’s two care homes amounted to £1,086,305 (2021 £1,054,580). Total staff costs represent a very significant proportion of expenditure and amounted to £805,249 (2021 £759,491).

Expenditure incurred on maintaining the members of the Congregation and supporting them in their pastoral work and ministry amounted to £149,567 (2021 £167,211). Expenditure on governance costs and the fees paid to the Charity’s investment managers including fees paid to investment platforms during the year amounted to £56,449 (2021 £75,675).

Net outgoing resources for the year, were then £760,369 (2021 £641,602). Investment losses (2021 gains) of £903,733 (2021 £567,176) resulted in a net outflow of funds for the year of £1,664,102 (2021 £74,426).

Reserves Policy and Financial Position

Reserves Policy

The reader will discern from the foregoing that the Charity carries out a diverse range of activities and is responsible for care and support of Sisters whose average age is increasing and whose needs are changing. The Trustees have examined the need for free reserves i.e. those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed and endeavour to balance the need for such free reserves with the desire to more fully fund the reserves needed to support Sisters in their retirement.

31

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Such free reserves are needed to support the work of the Sisters in the future, in particular the support of the Congregation’s missionary and healthcare work overseas. There has been a release from the Maintenance of Retired Sisters Reserve in the year of £20,000 (2021 £150,000) to maintain the level of such free reserves.

Financial Position

The balance sheet shows total reserves of £5,215,159 (2021 £6,879,261). Of this, £1,373,060 (2021 £1,404,491) is represented by properties and other tangible fixed assets essential for the support and work of the Sisters.

The funds set aside to provide for the Sisters in their retirement, none of whom have resources of their own, have been reassessed during the year. The calculation, based on actuarial methods, indicated that £7.56M (2021 £6.89M) is needed to be set aside in order to provide a minimum pension. A minimum pension was set at £5,000 in 2003 and is rebased for inflation thereafter. In these accounts £1.28M (2021 £1.30M) has been set aside for this purpose. These funds embrace and are supplemented by the Mill Hill Pension Fund, a designated fund for the maintenance of retired Sisters created from donations by the Mill Hill Society primarily for that purpose and amounting to £3,766,946 (2021 £5,384,240) at the year end date. In addition, there are investments and monies in bank deposit accounts held within the United States of America and Ireland Regions totalling £804,189 (2021 £919,536) and £570,338 (2021 £594,394) respectively which are held for the future maintenance of retired Sisters.

The Ecuadorian Retirement Fund is held in a UK deposit account. It is intended that these monies will be set aside in their own dedicated bank deposit account, once interest rates return to normal. The monies representing the Ecuadorian Retirement Fund amounted to £88,312 (2021 £88,188).

Many of the difficulties relating to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic have now eased and The Order has not suffered any marked structural impact from the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has abated, the conflict in Ukraine has raised new and challenging problems. The conflict has brought both poor performance for our Mill Hill investments and inflation at rates not seen for more than 40 years. This high level of inflation impacts all areas and in particular has made the operation of our care homes very much more expensive. We are confident that the financial pressures stemming from the conflict can be weathered, however, we remain vigilant both in measuring these inflationary costs and planning for the future accordingly.

The Trustees hope that, in the medium to long term, investment markets will continue to improve and that they will be able to designate more funds to the Sisters’ retirement fund. The calculations show clearly that this is a prudent and sensible policy.

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Future Plans

The Trustees do not anticipate any significant change to the Charity or its activities in the coming year. It is our intention to continue to meet the following objectives:

Many of the difficulties experienced by The Order relating to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic have now eased. The Order has not suffered any marked structural impact from the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and we are pleased to report that our Sisters have been able to resume their in person ministries. While the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has abated, the conflict in Ukraine has raised new and challenging problems.

The conflict in Ukraine has brought both poor performance for our Mill Hill investments and inflation at rates not seen for more than 40 years. This high level of inflation impacts all areas and in particular has made the operation of our care homes very much more expensive. We are confident that the financial pressures stemming from the conflict can be weathered however we remain vigilant both in measuring these inflationary costs and planning for the future accordingly.

33

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The Trustees are of the opinion that the financial position is such that we will be able to continue to meet our future planned objectives with no significant change in our operations or activities for the next two years and indeed for the foreseeable future notwithstanding the adverse impact of the conflict in Ukraine on both inflation and on our financial investments.

At our General Chapter in June 2023 the Congregation completed a process of restructuring including changes to our constitutions to make them more relevant to our present reality. Our final proposals will only be implemented when we receive approval from Vatican authority.

Employees, Advisors and Members of the Congregation

The Trustees wish to record their recognition and gratitude to all their staff, professional advisors and individual Sisters of the Congregation for their dedication and commitment to the works of the Congregation throughout the year.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages 1 to 64. 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).

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we 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 we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity'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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 - Continued

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees' are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of responsibilities, the trustees 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 the 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 charity'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 cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We 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.

36

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements - Continued

Our 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 an auditors' report that includes our 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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

37

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud - Continued

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noncompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.

a) Company Information:

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph is a Private Company Limited by Guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is St. Joseph's Convent, 150 Greenleach Lane, Worsley, Manchester, M28 2TS.

b) Basis of Preparation:

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Preparation of the accounts requires the Trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

45

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

1 Accounting Policies - Continued

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.

The Trustees of the Charity continue to think that the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, will have no marked structural impact on our operating income and expenditure. However, this is premised on the continued avoidance of infection amongst the Congregation. If this position was to change in a material way then it would not be realistic to supply future guidance, beyond saying that we remain confident that the financial consequences of such a crisis could be weathered.

The Trustees have therefore concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

The most significant areas of judgement that affect items in the accounts are detailed above. With regard to the next accounting period, the year ended 31 December 2023, the most significant areas that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the Charity are the level of investment return and the performance of the investment markets (see the investment policy and the risk management section of the Trustees' Report for more information).

Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Sisters' salaries and pensions are received under deeds of covenant and are stated inclusive of income tax but net of any deductions for social security payments and contributions to occupational pension schemes if relevant.

Donations are recognised on a remittance basis. Receipts of property, investments or other gifts in kind are included at market value.

Government coronavirus (Covid-19) grants are recognised in an appropriate manner that matches them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute.

In accordance with the Charities SORP and FRS102, volunteer time is not recognised.

46

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

1 Accounting Policies - Continued

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared as becoming payable and notification received of the dividend due. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Charitable grants and donations are made where the Trustees consider there is a real need following a review of the details of each particular case. Grants and donations are included in the statement of financial activities when approved for payment. Provision is made for grants and donations approved but not paid over at the year end date.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the Charity, it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development, financial procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.

Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the Charity (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice.

47

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided in equal amounts each year in order to write off the cost of fixed assets over their useful lives i.e.

Buildings and Alterations 2 %
Fixtures, Fittings and Furniture 15 %
Office Equipment 15 %
Motor Vehicles 25 %

Buildings are in constant use in furtherance of the Order's charitable objectives and are properly maintained to standards that ensure that their residual value is not less than their book value. Notwithstanding this, the Trustees have decided to depreciate buildings and alterations at the rate of 2% per annum.

j) Debtors:

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Deposits for more than three months and up to one year have been disclosed as short term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment.

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts that may be due.

48

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph

Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 - Continued

1 Accounting Policies - Continued

For the purposes of these accounts, no value has been placed on administrative and other services provided by Members of the Congregation.

n) Pension Contributions:

Contributions in respect of the Charity's defined contribution pension scheme are charged to the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The Charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employees' contributions.

Transactions of United Kingdom Sister Houses are incorporated in the financial statements.

p) Overseas Houses:

The unaudited overseas accounts are set out on pages 66A - 114A and are not incorporated in the main accounts.

There are overseas houses located in Ireland, the United States of America, Kenya, Uganda and Ecuador.

There are two Sisters located in The Netherlands. The Dutch Sisters reside in a state run retirement home and their Dutch Pensions are used to pay the retirement home fees. Any surplus personal allowance is periodically remitted to the UK Central Fund. No bank account is maintained in The Netherlands.

The program to strengthen financial management, reporting and communication of all overseas regions is continuing.

As part of this program the Bursar General makes regular visits to each Region to re-affirm the financial guidelines under which each Region operates with particular regard to the requirement to communicate financial changes and planned financial changes to the Bursar General.

Where appropriate, the appointment of external Regional accountants will be considered and this has already been actioned in the United States and Africa Regions.

It is intended that these monies will be set aside in their own dedicated bank deposit account, now that interest rates have returned to normal.

Following the rise in interest rates in 2022 a credit has been calculated in line with interest rates available to the Order.

There were no additions in 2021 as a consequence of the very low interest rates which prevailed at that time.

16 Investments

There have been no quoted investments held in the year or in the previous year.

Unquoted investments totalling £280 (2021 £280) relating to premium bonds.

17 Maintenance Of Retired Sisters

There is a substantial liability for the future costs of maintenance of Sisters in their retirement.

To provide for this Reserves have in the past been created by transfers from the Capital Fund of the Order. It is now necessary to supplement the operating funds by transfers from these reserves i.e.

The Mill Hill Pension Funds support the Retired Sisters Maintenance Fund and total £3,766,946 (2021 £5,384,240).

Monies transferred to the Capital Fund of the Order from the Mill Hill Pension Fund in the year totalled £697,030 (2021 £463,526) and is in addition to the monies transferred from the Maintenance Reserve.

A full report on the Mill Hill Pension Fund is provided in Note 15.

The maintenance of retired Sisters has, as in previous years, been charged as an expense when the cost was incurred.

It has been possible in previous years to meet these costs from current income without recourse to the Pension Funds. This practice has not been sustainable since 2011 and the release of reserves to supplement current income will continue for the foreseeable future.

A pension of £9,820 (2021 £8,657) per Sister is regarded as the minimum target but is significantly less than the current need. The effects of inflation are recognised and the annual pension target is now being indexed accordingly from a base figure of £5,000 in 2003.

The Trustees estimate that the funds needed to provide an annual inflation indexed pension of £9,820 (2021 £8,657) per sister from the date of retirement exceeds £7.56 million (2021 £6.89 million) of which £3.44 million (2021 £3.25 million) relates to Sisters over the age of 65.

The calculations continue the policy adopted in 2010 which incorporates different Regional life expectancy rates.

It is intended that further additions, whenever possible, will be made to the Pension Funds towards ensuring that future costs can be met.

Buildings and Alterations 2%

Buildings are in constant use in furtherance of the Order's charitable objectives and are properly maintained to standards that ensure that their residual value is not less than their book value. Notwithstanding this, the Trustees have decided to depreciate buildings and alterations from 1 January 2013 at the rate of 2% per annum and as such this was a change of accounting policy in 2013.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF SAINT JOSEPH REGISTERED TRUSTEES (AFRICA REGION)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph, set out on pages 8 to 20 which comprise the statement of income and expenditure, statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, statement of changes in reserves and statement of cashflows for the year ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance and cashflows for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 12 and 13.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the organization in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kenya, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Restriction on use

This report is made available solely to the Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph management team and the Trustees.To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the management team and the Trustees of Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph as a body, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Other information

The management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the report of theTrustees, statement of Trustees' responsibilities, schedules of Financial position and incomes and expenditure for Communities and Development office but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements , our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF SAINT JOSEPH REGISTERED TRUSTEES (AFRICA REGION)

The Trustees' responsibilities for the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 12 and 13 and for such internal control as 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 organization'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 organization or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the organization's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our 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 an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the planning and performance of the audit. We also:

i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

ii) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the organisation’s internal control.

iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.

iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the organisation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the society to cease to continue as a going concern.

v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other matters

We also report on the following matters;

i.) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;

ii.) In our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the organization so far as it appears from the examination of those books;

iii.) The organization's Statement of Financial Position is in agreement with the books of account.

The engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is CPA Peter N Anchinga- P/No. 1426.

Franciscan Missionaries of Saint Joseph Registered Trustees (Africa Region) Annual report and financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 Notes to The Financial Statements

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Franciscan Missionaries of Saint Joseph Registered Trustees is incorporated in Kenya under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act chapter 164.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies as set out below. These accounting policies are in accordance with policies and guidelines of Franciscan Missionaries of Saint Joseph.

a) Income Recognition

Donor income is recognized when the monetary value of the donation can be measured with sufficient reliability, there is reasonable assurance of receipt and conditions for receipt, if any, have been met. Donations in kind whose monetary value cannot be quantified are not recognized as income. Income is mainly received from donations, salaries and stipends earned in the communities where Sisters work as nurses or teachers.

The Congregation also receives funds in form of contributions from the projects that are under their management.

b) Property and Equipment

All Property and equipment are initially recognized at cost and thereafter stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost comprises expenditure initially incurred to bring the asset to its location and condition ready for its intended use.

Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation on other fixed assets is calculated on a reducing balance method to write down the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life using the following annual rates:

Land
Buildings
Motor vehicles
Furniture and fittings
Equipment
Computers		 Rate %
Nil
5
25
12.5
12.5
30

The assets' residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting date. Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and depreciation are taken into account through the statement of income and expenditure.

c) Translation of foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into Kenya Shillings at rates ruling at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities at the date of this report which are expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Kenya Shillings at rates ruling at that date. The resulting differences from conversion are dealt with in the statement of income and expenditure.

The rates used for translation of transactions and conversion of balances in Pound to Kshs were as follows;

Average exchange rate 2022

d) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

e) Taxation

No provision has been made for taxation in view of the nature of the organization.

f) Receivables

Receivables comprise prepayments and other receivables and are recorded at net realisable value. No provisions have been made in these financial statements. However, an assessment is made on the recoverability of receivables to determine provisions and write-offs required.

g) Payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

h) Retirement benefit obligations

The society and its employees contribute to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), a statutory defined contribution scheme registered under the NSSF Act. The organization's contributions to the defined contribution scheme are charged to the statement of income and expenditure in the year to which they relate.

i) Designated funds

These are funds held for specific purposes and only to be used for that purpose.

j) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
