Having completed this register we can report that none of the Trustees of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph are also Trustees of other Charities and there are consequently no potential conflicts of interest to report. Public Benefit The Charity Commission now requires charFties 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 21. 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 homesthose who wish tojoin 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. IAlhilst 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. 19
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Safe uardin and Protection of Vulnerable Persons The Trustees remain deeply committed to the safeguarding and protection of children and vulnerable adults. All FMSJS,, staff, and volunteers involved in ministry within the UK are required to undergo Disclosure and Barring Setvice (DBS) clearance. The Charity adheres to the Catholic Safeguarding standards Agency's policies and ensures rigorous implementation across all areas of its work. In preparation for the national safeguarding audit, Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph undertook a comprehensive review of its safeguarding protocols in 2024. The audit itself was successfully conducted in January 2025. Activities and s ecific ob'ectives 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 expt in our Kenya Region. The age profile. including novitiates is shown below. Age Profile as at 31 December 2024 35 30 31 25 20 15 io 14 li 80 & Over 70-79 60-69 50-59 30-49 Under 30 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: ensure all members of the Congregation are well cared for maintain our existing Care Homes and ensure that the properties continue to provide suitable accommodation enable all members of the Congregation to continue with their individual ministries for as long as possible ensure that funds are available for the training of the young Sisters. particularly in Africa, and that sufficient properties are available for accommodation. Training must include the transition of key roles from older European Sisters to younger African Sisters. 20
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 2. Soclal and Pastoral Work The following are examples of social and pastoral work undertaken by individual Sisters who play an important role in local communities: nursing and hospi care parish Sisters visiting, running catechetical programmes, prayer groups and parish based organisations teaching and lecturing in paid andlor volunteer roles administrative duties within the Congregation chaplaincy work in hospitals, hospices, care homes, and universities work wrth the homeless spiritual direction and retreat work preventative healthcare work especially with Al DS sufferers Rehabilitation and care of street children Rehabilitation, advocacy and Care of disabled children and youths bereavement counselling missionary awareness through public speaking and Mission Appeals chaplaincy work Philippino community The aims of Trustees in this area include.. enabling the Sisters of the Congregation to continue to carry out meaningful social and pastoral care in the local area, responding to local need. The Sisters who work in these apostolates strive to enhance the dignity and personal seW esteem of each person, irrespective of creed, race, age, sex or religion, believing each human person to be equal in the eyes of God and wrth the same right to benefit from the sepdices we offer expanding our ministries in response to local needs wherever we are able wherever possible, ensuring that the Sisters are remunerated for such work by way of salary or stipend. Their income is donated to the Charity and helps to ensure that the work is continued 3. Care Homes The Charity operates two registered Care Homes for the elderly. The philosophy of care in both hornes 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. Our Franciscan ethos is the value base of our holistic care expressed in meeting the physical, spirrtual, 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. 21
The Franciscan Missionaries of SL Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 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 (CQC) undertook a targeted inspection looking at the infection control and prevention measures in place. Their findings stated, among other points, were that kne 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.. HEALTHWATCH Blackburn with Darnven. 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. Healthwatch Blackburn with Daen praised the home's environment, faith-based inclusivity, and the compassionate attentiveness of staff. FrancSscan Convent, Burnley The Home has sixteen beds including three which are specffically for those suffering from dementia. Having deregistered. care is provided only for Sisters of the Congregation at the present time. Care could be extended to Sisters of other Congregations in the future although this would require CQC re-registration. 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 OLrt a Qualty Assurance Questionnaire for the Sisters: Sister Maria who was on respite care following knee surgery responded as follows: "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.. 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 or shortcomings 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. 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.
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Achievements and Performance - Review of activities We now describe the main achievements during the year in each of our principal activities. Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph (FMSJ) remained steadfast in their mission throughout 2024, providing compassionate care, pastoral ministry, education, and communty support across the United Kingdom and overseas. This report outlines the impact of their service, and the lives touched through various ministries rooted in the Franciscan values of dignity, justice, pea, and love. 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. The Charty operates two registered care homes for elderly members of the Congregation.. one in Blackbum and the other in Burnley. Each home provides a nurturing and spiritually rich environment, underpinned by the Franciscan ethos of holistic care meeting the physical. emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of every resident. The Franciscan Convent in Blackburn, with thirteen registered rooms, continues to care for both Sisters and female members of the public. Residents benefit from a welcoming atmosphere, a chapel open to visitors, and large, well-maintained grounds. The 2020 Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection affirmed the home's high standards. noting residents felt safe, respected, and well cared for. In 2022, Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen praised the home's environment, faith-based inclusivity, and the compassionate attentiveness of staff. Special occasions such as Sister Ruth's 90th birthday. monthly scripture reflection sessions, outings, and in-house activities like baking and gardening enriched the lives of the residents in 2024. The consistent staff presence and personal attention offered to residents were deeply appreciated by families, contributing to a strong sense of belonging and community. Sister Ruth's 90th Birthday celebration with Sisters, family, and friends The Franciscan Convent, Burnley, currently caring exclusively for Sisters of the Congregation, includes sixteen beds and provides a peaceful, well-staffed environment. In 2023, a Qualty Assurance Questionnaire captured heartfelt feedback from residents, affirming the kindness and competence of the care team. Its town-centre location also ensures residents remain connected to local amenities. The home plays a crucial role in hosting Congregational gatherings, enabling more frail Sisters to participate without travelling far. 2. Social and Pastoral Work In the UK and overseas. Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph continued to carry out a wide range of social and pastoral ministries in 2024. Rooted in the Gospel and the values of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Joseph, their ministries are grounded in listening, presen, education. empowerment, and service to the most vulnerable. 23
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 One of the Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph's mission in Kenya is the Witu Community Development Platform (WICODEP), communrty based initiative led by Sr. Nancy Mongina, Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph. Under her leadership, VIICODEP made transformative strides in improving health outcomes, reducing mother-t(>child HIV transmission, and promoting economic resilience. Over 100 children born to HIV- positive mothers tested negative due to effective intervention. Local women benefited from income-generating activities including a printing service, crafts, and community programmes. Desprte the logistical challenges of operating in a remote region, WICODEP'S decentralised model empowered grassroots support networks. amplifying its reach. Sister Nancy Mongina receiving an award for best community support programme in Kenya Sister Phelesia Ayuko Okwemba, Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph, Headteacher of Alice Ingham Primary School in Witu, Lamu County, continued to nurture a thriving educational environment for 301 pupils.

Care Homes Franclscan 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 Blackbum with Darwen Social Services and the Home was invited to be part of its Quality Assuran Scheme. All staff have recognised NVQ qualifications and many are now working to attain higher grades. Franciscan Convent, Burnley This home is also constantly monrtored by the Trustees with frequent reports gtven by the House Manager. It is well staffed by dedicated and qualified workers and an internal quality assuran 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 The FMSJ'S overseas presen remains strong in Kenya, Uganda, Ecuador, and Ireland. In Kenya, the increased number of Sisters has enabled expansion into eleven regions. Their ministries reach street chi5dren, orphans of AIDS victims, widoKE. and individuals living with HIV through clinics and home-based care. The Congregation also manages a home for physically disabled children and continues to support a thriving novitiate in Nairobi. funded through ongoing UK donations. In Uganda, our Sisters serve among the Karamojong people, one of the country's most underserved communities. Their work includes early childhood education, pastoral care, and small-scale economic projects such as a local bakery. In Ecuador, Sister Yenny Arce Penafiel leads impacfful social and pastoral programmes in Puerto Quito. In 2024, her Carrtas team provided support to 61 students, distributed 250 Christmas hampers, offered craft classes for yOLrth with disabilities, and facilitated catechist training in the parish and outstations. With the help of UK benefactors, Sister Yenny's team built five homes and distributed food weekly to families in extreme need. 11 Children receiving gifts and focrfl supplies in Puerto Quito, Ecuador Sister Yenny with her Caritas team supporting families and children 25
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Investment Polic The Trust Deed dated 27th Dernber 1963 does not specify investment powers and the 1961 Trustee Investment Act therefore applied. Under a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 29th August 1996 the Trustees were granted wider powers of investment with an 850/0.150/0 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 were managed by Amber River True Bearing throughout the year but a change was made in June 2025 to Sarasin & Partners LLP. 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 beliets. 1. Investsnent 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 expenstve. Ipthilst inflationary pressures remain wrth the rate of inflation being 3.80/0 at the time of writing this report, inflation is reducing making income and expenditure modelling more reliable. Investments were made in accordance with the Trustees Investment Policy refeffed to earlier in this report and in Complian with ethical guidelines. 2. Financlal Review- Results for the Year During 2024 total incoming resources amounted to £1,215,956 (2023 £783,306). Of the incoming resources, a total of £96,700 (2023 £108,388) related to fees receivable and other income of the Charity's two care homes. £1,013,278 (2023 £583,558) was received by way of donations and legacies. This figure includes salaries and pensions of the Sisters amounting to £421.386 (2023 £390.028) covenanted to the Charity. Investment income and interest re1vable totalled £19,228 (2023 £20.317) of which £14,136 (2023 £19,468) relates to designated funds. Resources expended totalled £1,495,167 (2023 £1.603,528). The total expenditure on the Charity's two care homes amounted to £1,058.367 (2023 £1,134,769). Total staff costs represent a very significant proportion of expenditure and amounted to £823,835 (2023 £848.812). 26
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Expenditure incurred on maintaining the members of the Congregation and supporting them in their pastoral work and ministry amounted to £205,369 (2023 £180,828). Expenditure on governance costs and the fees paid to the Charty's investment managers including fees paid to investment platforms during the year amounted to £77,580 (2023 £55,859). Net outgoing reSoUrS for the year, were then £279,211 (2023 £820,222). Investment gains of £162,010 (2023 £293,162) resulted in a net oufflow of funds for the year of £117.201 (2023 £527,060). 3. 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. 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 £80,000 (2023 £Nil) to maintain the level of such free reserves. 4. Financial Position The balan sheet shows total reserves of £4,570.898 {2023 £4,688,099). Of this. £1,316,474 (2023 £1,342,311) 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 £8.02M (2023 £8.08M) 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 £1.20M (2023 £1.28M) 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 £3,069,582 (2023 £3,278,983) at the year end date. In addition, there are investments and monies in bank deposit accounts held within the United States of America Area and Ireland Region totalling £854.270 (2023 £818,235) and £570,429 (2023 £592,669) 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 thatthese monies will be set aside in their own dedicated bank deposit account now that rates have returned to normal. The monies representing the Ecuadorian Retirement Fund amounted to £201.701 (2023 £98,034). 27
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 The conflict in Ukraine which led to very high inflation - to levels not seen for more than 40 years forced central banks worldwide to raise interest rates to try to bring down the level of inflation. This has brought the unprecedented low interest rates, which persisted for more than 15 years to an end. As inflationary pressures ease it is anticipated that the significant increases in costs maintaining our retired Sisters will lessen. 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. 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: To continue to care for the Sisters and enable them to continue their various ministries among the poor and marginalized of society. To continue to run two Care Homes for the elderly and those suffering from dementia. To meet the requirements of the Care Standards Act 2000 and inspections conducted by the Care Quality Commission. To continue to provide training to all our staff. To continue to expand our work in Kenya and Uganda and to continue the transition of responsibilities to our Kenyan Sisters. To continue to fund the formation training of our Sisters in Kenya. On the advi of our Solicitors to facilitate having Sisters living overseas as Trustees we have registered as a Company and a new Charity (a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee with no Share Capital (Registered Company Number 07010772 (England and Wales)) (Registered Charity Number 1135474)). The transrtion of the functions and assets of The Order to the new Company and Charity was implemented on 1 January 2011 by a Transfer Deed dated 18 February 2011. 28
The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Our Mill Hill investments have performed satisfactorily so far in 2025 and this is in line with stock markets generally however we remain vigilant as the SE 100 is currently at an all time high. Inflation which rose to rates not seen for more than 40 years in 2022 has eased, though inflationary pressures remain with the rate of inflation being 3.80/0 at the time of writing this report. being far in excess of the government target of 2 /0. The high level of inflation impacts all areas and in particular makes the operation of our care homes very much more expensive. Inflation is anticipated to remain above government targets of 2 % throughout the rest of 2025 and into 2026 at rates in eXsS of 3 % before reducing towards 2 % in late 2026. We have to take this into account when budgeting our costs and in particular those relating to the operation of our care homes - the costs of operating said care home has risen very sharply over the last 3 years. As inflation reduces towards the 20/0 target our modelling becomes easier as predictability returns to our costs. We are confident that the financial pressures can be weathered however bve remain vigilant both in measuring these inflationary costs and accordingly planning for the future. The Drywood House which also served for the last 30 years as our Generalate was sold in April 2025. A new house in Astley Bridge, Bolton was bought in May 2025 and once the removal of asbestos and consequential repairs and decorating throughout are complete then this new house will become our Generalate. 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. Following a six-year review process initiated at the 2017 General Chapter, the 2023 General Chapter successfully finalized a series of proposals aimed at restructuring the governance of the Congregation.

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 audrt work, for this report, or for the opinions V have formed. In our opinion, the financial statements- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources. for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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. 30
Ilndependent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 - Continued Other infomiation The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorfs 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 vthich the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: the inforrnation given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees, Report,. or sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or the financial ststements are not in agreement with the accounting records., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 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 cOnrn, 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 Charrties Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 31
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 - Continued Auditorfs responsibilities for the audlt 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 rf, 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:Ilwbw.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. 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-complian 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 entrty, 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: Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection., Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. 32
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 - Continued Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularlties, includlng 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 non- compliance 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 vle 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.

The Franclscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 Accounting Policles 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 was located at St. Joseph's Convent, 150 Greenleach Lane, Worsley. Manchester, M28 2TS throughout the year. The registered office was changed on 20 May 2025 and is now located at Our Lady's Presbytery, Hallstead Avenue, Little Hulton, Manchester, M38 ODL. b) Basis of Preparation.. The accounts have been prepared in accordance wrth the Charit5ls governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan 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. c) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement: 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: estimating the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets. 38
.,The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph INotes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 - Continued Accounting Policies - Continued d} Assessment of going concern: 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 property located at St. Joseph's Convent, 150 Greenleach Lane, Worsley, Manchester M28 2TS was sold on 1 May 2025 for £2,626,500. The Trustees of the Charity continue to believe that are no particular social or political circumstances which will have a marked structural impact on our operating income and expenditure. 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 UnrtaIntieS 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 2025, 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). e) Income Recognition: Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the rtem(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 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 propety, 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. There are no such grants received this year and no further grants are envisaged. In accordance with the Charities SORP and FRS102, volunteer time is not recognised. 39

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 Recognition: Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third paty, 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- Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure associated with raising funds for the Charity. This includes investment management fees. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running the Charity's convents as well as all other costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the Charity through the provisions of its charitable activities.

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. g) Support and Governance Costs: Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure.

The Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph Notes to the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2024- Continued 16 Maintenance of Retired Slsters 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 Maintenance Reserve 2024 2023 Balance as at 1 January 2024 1280000 1280000 Less Transfer to Capital Account this Year (80000) Balance as at 31 December 2024 1200000 1280000 The Mill Hill Pension Funds support the Retired Sisters Maintenance Fund and totsl £3.069.582 (2023 £3,278,983). Monies transferred to the Capital Fund of the Order from the Mill Hill Pension Fund in the year totalled £368.587 (2023 £782,204). It was also necessary to transfer further funds totalling £80.000 (2023 £Nil) to maintain a positive general fund balance. A full report on the Mill Hill Pension Fund is provided in Note 14. The maintenance of retired Sisters has, as in previous years. been charged as an expense when the cost vS 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 suslainable Sin 2011 and the release of reserves to supplement current income will continue for the foreseeable future. A pension of £10,684 (2023 £10,379) 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 £10,684 (2023 £10,379) per sister from the date of retirement eXedS £8.02 million (2023 £8.08 million) of which £3.30 million (2023 £3.37 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, wll be made to the Pension Funds towards ensuring that future costs can be met.
