Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ
TRUSTEES’ REPORT 31 December 2021
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity and in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
STATUS AND ADMINISTRATION
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 21 July 2010 and became registered as a charity on 6 September 2010. It commenced activity on the 1[st] January 2012 following completion of a deed of transfer on 17[th] November 2011. The deed of transfer states that with effect from 1[st] January 2012 all the operations, assets and liabilities were transferred from the existing charitable trust (Congregation of Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, English Region charity number 234423) to the new charitable company. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association.
OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY
The objects of the Charity are such charitable purposes as shall advance the religious and other charitable work of the Congregation as the Trustees with approval of the Superior shall from time to time think fit, provided that if at any time the Congregation shall cease to exist or shall cease to carry on religious work then for such other lawful purposes connected with the advancement of the Roman Catholic Religion as the Trustees shall determine.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS
Results
The results for the period are set out on pages 7-9. As the sisters here in England begin to age, the majority being in their late eighties it is becoming apparent that we will not function as a Province in our own right and will potentially become a community under the guidance of our General Leadership in Germany, there will be a local leader living in England who will oversee the general day to day living of all the sisters and finance. This is a process which we are now beginning with meetings planned with our Canon Lawyer Kristian Paver, and Mr Rutherford from Stone King. Despite our aging sisters our houses continue to be open houses of hospitality and volunteer in a school providing spirituality for both children and staff. We are in the process of appointing a new Trustee to replace Sister Julia Coffey, who died suddenly. Sister Catherine Doherty, who resides in a nursing home in Pinner, is now on end of life palliative care.
One sister is a qualified Counsellor and will minister to those on low incomes who cannot afford the going rates of £45 for a therapy session. She has now become the coordinator of the pastoral care team in her local parish using the same skills as a counsellor. She also offers workshops to Sisters in developing countries of her congregation.
We continue to make donations to those in need in our local areas supporting those impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic and will continue to do so as those needs are becoming increasingly important due to the current financial climate.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT 31 December 2021
Public benefit
The Charity has continued the work in the initial formation of children and adults and in ongoing education at all levels in the Roman Catholic religion in all three areas where the Charity is operating. Other activities have included:-
-
assistance of priests in various areas through pastoral work,
-
visiting of sick and housebound and attending to spiritual needs, and
-
Providing hospitality for various groups on a day basis to deepen spirituality and prayer life.
Details of support and donations are given in note 2 of the accounts, which during the year have included donations to organisations local to the three areas in which the Convents are based and have in particular supported the homeless, vulnerable and needy. The mission fund donations from this charity goes into the Corpus Fund for projects that support people in general.
In addition missions are designated by the Motherhouse to further our charitable purposes and to provide public benefit to those most in need. The reports issued by the Motherhouse highlighted the following in respect of mission projects:-
-
India – The Poor Handmaids Of Jesus Christ started their work in India more than 40 years ago. Key projects have included the creation of a home for destitute women known as ‘Maria Sadan’; the Katharina Kasper Leprosy control scheme which from its’ clinic offers free medicine, physiotherapy, allergy, paediatric, orthopaedic services and outdoor ministry for around 8,000 a year; the Ashalaya Awareness Programme including self-help groups, skills training, summer camps and scholarship training across 30 villages in Bangalore north district with over 900 children and over 1500 adults participating in the year; the Nirmala Covent Nagular Yercaud providing crèche facilities for children aged 2 ½ - 5 years old, the Katherine primary school for 102 pupils and social work/pastoral care visiting families especially those who are sick, suffering and aged; boarding facilities for 12 girls studying 10[th] classes at the Nagular government school; the Maria Bhavan Covent in Dhani North India comprises several projects offering boarding to 226 girls aged 4-16 years St Francis Xavier, treatment for T.B. patients at a hospital assisting 70-80 patients daily, the education project which supported 44 students in 2014 in their education, social work assisting farmers by giving seeds to cultivate their land; the Katherine Matriculation School began in 2003 in China Avudaiyar Kovil with only 20 students and now has 650 students with admissions given to all irrespective of their religion, colour, caste or race; and finally support via the Leonidis Endowment foundation.
-
Kenya, Nigeria and Nairobi- The Poor Handmaids Of Jesus Christ founded their first Convent in 2000 in the Diocese of Meru Kenya. Since 2000 five more Convents, schools, a children’s’ home and a hospital have been created. The additional Convents are located in Owerri in the state of Iwo, Nigeria; Garam, Niger state and in Ifetedo, Osun state. The major project in Nigeria is the ‘Street Children Project’ to give the children a future. Our ministry has expanded to cover the provision of mobile health clinics and establishing schools, as well as providing courses for adults and pastoral care within prisons. Our Children’s’ home in Mgbele provides a safe refuge for 12 children, including 5 of whom are mentally or physically handicapped. The children attend school and learn to care for each other becoming independent as far as possible. In Nairobi the hospital created continues to receive immense support where our Sisters care for the poorest of the poor.
-
Brazil – In 1993 work began in Brazil with the founding mission in Sao Joao da Fronteira in northeast Brazil, which is the poorest area of the country. Since then two other convents have been established in Jacunda and Sovral also in the northeast. A new project began in 2014 ‘Casa Maria Catalina Sao Joao for children’. This offers day care for the children of working women.
-
Mexico - The Poor Handmaids Of Jesus Christ began their mission work here 25 years ago. 14 Sisters currently serve in four poor areas of Queretero and Sn Ildefonso near Mexico City, Coatzcoalcos in the south and Mapachapa in the Gulf of Mexico. They provide hands-on ministry to the poorest of society who are mainly women and children in various projects and programs. The embroidery projects was founded 10 years ago for the indigenous Otomi women and their children allowing them to develop skills and produce products to sell to provide a better future for their children and families. This year a small room has been developed to provide dental treatment for the poor. The Katherine Kasper Education centre in South Mexico provides education for those children who have never attended or been able to enter the normal school system.
Our developing countries continue to train their young sisters with skills relevant to the needs of the people they are ministering to. Therefore, we finance them when needs arise

Charity’s policies
1) Investments
The Charity follows a low risk policy whereby surplus funds from yearly activities are invested. Other investments arise from bequests and donations received.

A written policy statement has been provided to and agreed with the investment managers. Barclays Wealth and Private Bank Limited has fully delegated powers within the terms of this policy.
2) Reserves

To provide sufficient funds for the Sisters to live on now and in the future, as all their personal income comprising of salaries and pensions forms an incoming resource to the Charity.
-
To allow the provision of nursing home care when needed.
-
To allow major refurbishments and renewals to be carried out at the Convents’ premises when required.
-
To give financial support to allow the rapid growth of the congregation in third world countries
-
3) Grant making and donations
-
Local churches in the areas where the Sisters are working have been selected by the Trustees as worthy of support, as have local appeals made by various other national charities or individuals in need. Decisions for the latter have been left to the discretion of the three convents.
-
In addition we support the missions of our own congregation in the third world countries where our Sisters work and minister. Periodically we support the General Mission Fund in Germany and help new missions and developments of our own congregation in Nigeria and Kenya and our other missions in Mexico and Brazil.

The day to day management of the charity is carried out by the trustees. Policies and strategies are determined by the trustees who hold formal meetings a minimum of twice a year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have considered the risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage them. The trustees consider the principal risk to be related to the increasing age and health concerns of the current trustees and attracting new Sisters’ who can (subject to appointment as trustees) continue the work of the charity for future generations.
- In the future we anticipate giving help in this country to students of the Roman Catholic faith when sufficient funds have been built up.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 20011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The particular accounting policies adopted by the trustees are described below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investments to market value.
Fund accounting
The charity maintains two types of funds as follows:
-
Restricted funds
-
Restricted funds represent donations and legacies received which are allocated by the donor for specific purposes.
-
Unrestricted funds
-
Unrestricted funds represent income which is expendable at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. Within unrestricted funds the Trustees may designate funds for future development projects.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Voluntary income is received from bequests and donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
-
Investment income comprises dividends which are included when they are declared and bank and building society interest which is included on a receivable basis. Investment income is credited to the specific funds accordingly.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS For the year ended 31 December 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Resources expended
All expenditure, other than that which has been capitalised, is included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis whereby the value of purchase invoices received before the year end but not paid until after the year end have been included. The value of purchase invoices received after the year end in respect of expenditure incurred before the year end where insignificant have not been included in the Statement of Financial Activities. Resources expended includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Investments
Stocks and shares quoted on the recognised Stock Exchanges are included in the Balance Sheet at their fair value at the year end. Realised gains/losses are calculated as the difference between fair value at the date of disposal and the fair value at the previous balance sheet date (or date of acquisition if later). Unrealised gains/losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the balance sheet date and the fair value at the previous balance sheet date (or acquisition if later). All changes are recognised in the SOFA if the shares are publically traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
Fixed assets
All assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
The premises occupied by St Joseph’s Convent are provided by the Archdiocese of Westminster on a rent free basis. St Boniface Convent now occupies a residential premise on which rent is payable. No depreciation is provided on land.
Other fixed assets are capitalised at cost or if donated, at the estimated value at date of receipt and depreciated over the following periods:
Improvements to buildings - 2% straight line Furniture and equipment - 10% reducing balance per annum Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance per annum Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance per annum
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Taxation
The company is a registered charity and as such benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by the tax legislation, and is therefore not liable to tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions to the extent that the income or gains are applied to the primary charitable purposes of the company.
Trustees’ remuneration and expenses
The trustees do not receive remuneration or expenses for their services (note 9).

The net book value at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 represents fixed assets, which are all used for direct charitable purposes.
