Each Nazareth Care is a separate legal entity wrth ts owll governing document and L￿)ard of tmstees, consisting of a majority of Sisters and supplemented wrth lay trustees.

Plannin The Global Congregational P18n aThJ the Nazareth Care Glob81 Plan form the top layer of a planning system that requires each regron, service and communiiy of Sisters to produce their own plans. The intention is for a'golden thread, lo flow from the General Chapterthrough all the plans. ensuring that all activities are focused on the Recommendations. The plans identify the many elements common to both plans that require the same actions by Sisters and lay slaff. Pro ert The Nazareth Heritage Centre in HammeTsmilh was officially opened in September 2020. The Centre contain5 a new exhibition commemorating and celebrating the lrfe and legacy of the COng￿gatIOn,5 Foundress, Vicloire Larmenier. and prowdes a permanent home for the Congregatlon's archive.

The CongregatK)n of the Sisters of Naza￿th Generalale Trustees, report 31 March 2021 Finance Each region consists of one or more indeperKlent charities. Therefore, consolidated accounts are only pmduced at regional level and are not cons01￿lated globally. Region a¢eA)unts are prepared 2nd audited accoroing to their local standards and are available on request from each region. Each region provKJes a quarterfy report on its operational financial perfom)ance, covering the activities of Naz8relh Care including each Nazareth House. Unaudited accounts for each ￿gion Show that total tumover for 2020121 was £109 million, a decrease from £111 million in 2019120. The decrease is mainly attrib¢Jted to the reduction in the number of reS￿ents and then the closure of San Rafael Mi￿aY through 2020121, along wtih a weakening of the Dollar to Sterting exchange rate. Four of the five regions improved their financial performance, generaling a latrJer surplus or smaller deficit than the previous year. which will be used for reinvestment in capital projects. The Charity provided a new loan to the UK Region to ￿finance Ihe building of the Nazareth House Glasgow care home, reducing the interest rate payable. The Charrty also provKled fijrther advanGes of the previously agreed funding to the UK Region forthe extension and ￿ftIrtlishMent of Naz8r8th House Birkenhead.

In uiries The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry published its report in May 2019 into the work of the Sisters ol Nazareth in four homes for children, which were all closed in the early 19805. The report details the suffering and abuse reported by some children in our homes, for which we apologise profvundly. EvNJence has been given to the Inquiry. most recently in October 2020 relating to child m￿ratiOn. In addition, we continue to co-operate with the Scottish Govemment with their Advance Payment Scheme and the development of Redress Scotland, following the passing of the Redress for Survivots (Histortc41 Child Abuse In Care) (ScotlaThJ) Act 2021. to support the survivors of abuse. The Northern Ireland Hlstorfcal Instrtutlonal Abuse Inquiry, the Engllsh Inqulry, the Independent Inquiry into Chikj Sexual Abuse and in Australia, the Royal Commission into Inslitulional Responses to Chikl Sexual Abuse, have all previously published reports. The semces that are cited in the reports have not been operated by any part of Congregation including the ChaTity, the UK Region or the Australaslan Region for a long lime. We continue our practice of co-operating with all of the Inquiiies and providing ongoing 5UPPOrt to the survivors.

Total donations have fallen by 4.6%, resulting from reductions in ￿gional income referred lo earlier in th￿ report. This reduction has been compensated for by In¢￿ase$ in interest charged on the loans promded. where a further £2.7m of k)ans have been advanced durfng the year. Inveslment funds have perfom)ed slrongty. In¢￿asIng in value by £2.5m durfng the year. less the withdrawals to extend the loans.

Funds and reserves policy The Charity's reserves of £42.528 million (2020 - £29.689 million) are divided belween two designated funds, the tangible fLxed assets fund, General Fund, and a restricted fund.. DesNJnated funds.. • The Sisters, Support Fund.. £7 mlllion (2020- £7 million) is retained to prowde Sisters who need any SUPF()rt. including nursing or residential care in a Nazareth House, with the means to purchase it where public funds are nol available and for other needs such as medical cosls, training or emergencies. The amount is calculated based on the estirnated future costs of provKling care for Sisters, the number of Sister5, their ages, life expectancy, anticipated length of car8 and the cost of provmjing care. The level of the lund was rewewed during the year and the Chatity ConfiM￿d that £7 million remained the appropriate level of the Fund. The Congregation of the Sister5 of Nazareth Generalate 10 Trustees, report 31 March 2021 • The Pfoperty Fund.. £22.500 million {2020- £19.370 million) was Increased by £3.130 million (2020 reduced by £0.817 million) as a resu￿ of the increase in the value of investrnents and surplu5 generated during the year. The fund will be used to provide loan5 orgranls to regions requiring sUPPOrt for buikling or other major works. This is expected lo be the primary focus of the utilisation of the Charity's funds for some years as many properties require upJrading and remojelling to comply with current standards and expectations. Trustees have already used a prop)rtion of the fund, demonstrated Ihrough the loan balances. They anticipate using more of the fund over the nexl five lo ten ye8tS to continue the process of upgrading properties. subjed to retaining sufficient funds to respond to emeffjencies. This may include additional costs lo refurbish Nazareth House Hammersmith, as well as other siles in the UK and overseas. Other funds.. The tangible fLxed assets fund represents the value of the tangible fLxed assets owned by the Generalate. The fund has increased from £2.318 million to £2.397 million duiing the year as new assets have been added and the existing assets have be8n depreciated. The General Fund of £0.920 million12020 - £1 million) is retained to cover the running costs of the Generalale in the event of a temporary loss of income, together with some capacity to support regions 2nd houses experiencing unforeseen costs that cannot immediately be funded from other sources. The General Fund represents the only unrestricied and non-designated fvnds of the Charity. that can be spent as the trustees decide. The General Fund is in line with the trustees, expeclatM)ns and represents around nine months of operating expenditure, excluding foreign exchange losses. The trustees wish lo relain belween 6 and 12 months of operating expendtture in the General Fund to avoid any interruption to its acliviiies in the case of a loss of income or the need for increased support to a region. The restricted fund of £9.710 million {2020 - £0) 15 accounted for separately. £7 million (2020 - £0) is hekl in the BlackRock Catholic Charities Growth and Income Fund and the remainder Is held in cash deposits to fund shorter-temi cashtknvs. During the year. £0.289 million 12020 £0) had been spent from the fund on refurblshlng and relocating the Novitiate. Thls has been capitalised and added to Fixed Assets. Golng ct)ncem The trustees have assessed the Chafity's ability to continue as a going conceffl. The trustees have considered several factot5 when forming their conclusK>n as lo whether the use of the going COn￿rn basis is appropriate when preparing these financial statements inGluding a review of updated forecasts lo 31 March 2023 covering income, expenditure, cash and reSe￿e$, the long- tem cashflow fore¢asl 10 31 March 2026 and a consideration of key risks. induding CovKk19, that Qoukl negatively affec# the Charity. The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth Generalate 11 Trusts•s' report 31 March 2021 The Charity fvnded primarily by donations from the Regions within the Congregation together with other donations from the Sisters and legacies. There Is a risk that the pandemic will ￿dUce Income In each of the regions durtng the year and consequently this will reduce the income that is pail to the Charity. During the la51 year, m051 houses and most regions have remained ￿slI1ent to the challenges and have continued to operate successful houses, with 8ppropriate changes to their operating wactices. Admissions have restarted in most locations and occupancy in the homes is beginning to increase. Admission embargoes a￿ now much shorter than was Ihe case in the eady days of the pandemic and the number of residellts dying has reduced consmlerably. The ifflpad is reflected in the reports and foreGasts reviewed by the Trustees. Debtor balances have been reviewed and assessed and, as all loans are to within the Congregation, Ihey are considered to be repayable in full. The budget and f0￿CaSI$ for the forthcoming year are considered to be deliverable and the cashflow forecast shows that there a￿ sufficient cash and IKiuid resources and forecast inflows for the period of rewew, with the SUFPOrt of the unreslrided reserves rf required. The Charity has not accessed any of the government grants or loans provided In response to the Covid-19 pandemic and does not anticipate doing so. The Trustees therefoTr have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and so should continue to ado the going concem basis in p￿parIng the annual report and financial stalements. FUTURE PLANS The focus over the next year and beyond wlll be implementing the Mandate and Recommendations from the General Chapter in 2018. In addition. the Chariiy will continue to support the regions. parti¢ulady with their property developments and upjrades lo ensu￿ the best environment for delivering high quallty care to residents. This has been especially difficum as they m8n8ge and come through the Covid-19 pandemic. The Charity continues to keep in regular Gontad with the ￿010n5 to ensure they are )piThJ, to underst8nd the challenges th8y are facing and to see how they can be supported. The Charity is also wothing closely with the UK Region to plan for the redevelopment of Nazareth House Hammersmith.

This is compensated for by having trustees who are wholly committed to the cong￿gatiOn and the Charlly without outside distractions, and the use of external adviso￿ and outside expertise on commitiees to provide greater diversity and breadth of skills. Key management personnel The trustees consider that they, with the assistance of the Congregational Chief Executive, comprise the key management of the Charity in charge of directing and ￿ntrOlling, running and operating the Charity on a day to day basis.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charitie5 Act 2011 and r8POrt in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statemen15 as a whole are free from material misslatemerrt, whether due lo fraud or error, aThJ to issue an auditor's report Ihat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in aCco￿lanCe with ISAS (UK) will a￿ayS detect a material rnisstalement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consK1ered material if. indivhjually or in the aggregate, they could re8SDnably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Details of the exlent lo whioh the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularrties, including fraud and non-¢ompli8nce wrLh18ws and ￿gUlationS are sel out below. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the finan¢ial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's websile at.. www.frc.o .ukJaudrtorsres onsibilities. This description fomis part of our auditor's report. Extenl to which the audit was ¢onsidered capable of detecting irregulariti&$, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance w(th law5 and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstalemenl of the finanGial slatements from iffegularrties, whether due lo fraud or ermr, and discussed these between our audit team fflembets. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to pmvKle a basis for our opinion. Vve obtaine(i an understanding of Ihe legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charf(y operates, focusing on those law5 and regulations that have a direci effect on the determination of maleTial amounts and di5dosures in the financial slatements. The laws and regulations we consic1ered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Chatilies SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulalions as part of our audit procedures on the related financkgl statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct eff8Ct on the financial statements but compliance with which mvJht be fundamenlal lo the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a materi81 penatty. We also ¢onsidered the opportunities The Congregation of the Sister5 of Nazareth Generalate 21 Independent audilor'$ rgport 31 March 2021 and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. The laws and regulations we Considered in this context for the UK operations were employmenl legk51ation. Auditlng standards Ilmit the required audit procedures to identlfy non-compliance wbth these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of gulAtory and legal correspondence, rf any. We Klenlified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be wilhin the timing of recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures lo reswnd lo these risks included enquiries of management, and the Advisory Finance Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregulafities, sample testing on the posting of journa15, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, fewewing regulatory cnrrespondence with the Charity Commission and ￿adIng minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance. Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an un8vobJable risk that we may not have detected some materi81 misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and perfom)ed our audit in accordance with audiiing $18ndards. For example. the further removed non-compli8n¢e wf(h18ws and regu18tions (irregularities) is from the events and transactions rellected in the financi81 slatemenls, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards woukj identify it. In addition. as with any al￿11, there remained a hwJher risk of non-delection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrKJe of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to dele(A non-complian with all laws and regulations.

Charity infonnalion The Congregation of the Slslers of Nazareth Generalale (Ihe Charity,) Is reglstered wfth the Chartty Commrssion for England and Vvales, regislratwjn nutnber 1138876. It is inGorporated in the Unit8d Kingdom and has its registered address at 169-175 Hammersmith Road, London 8DB. Basis of preparation These accounts have been prepared forthe year to 31 March 2021 wtth comparative infomwtion given in respect to the yearto 31 March 2020. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost conventron with items recognised at cost ortr8ns8dion value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies ￿loW or the notes to these accounts. The aceA)unls (financial statements) hav8 been prepared to give a true and faiff view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only lo the extent required to provvje a Itue and fair view,. This departure has involved following the 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 IFRS 102} issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the previous Statement of Recommended Practice-. Accounting aNI Reporting by Charities which was effective from 1 April 2005 but which has Since been withdrawn. The charity constitutes a public benefft entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are presented in steding and are rounded to the nearest pound. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees and management to make stgnificant judgements and estimates. The tlems in th8 financial slatement5 where these judgements and estimates have been made include.. • estimating the useful economic lrfe of tangible fixed assets forthe purwses of detemiining depreciation charge. + assessing the timing of the receipt of loan repayments forthe purposes of ¢lassifying debtors as amounts due within one year and recoverable thereafter and a55essing the recoverability ol outstanding amounts- • detemiining the value of designated funds needed at the year end. in particular in respect to the assumptions made in detemiining the values of the Sisters, support fund and the property fund-, • assessing the probability of the receipt of legaGy incotne. where a notif￿atIon of entitlernent has been re¢eNed', The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth Generalale 26 Principal actounting policies 31 March 2021 * assessing the probability of the payment of a legal claim against the Charity and the probability of the payment being covered by insurance. where a claim has been notified. Assessment of going con¢ern The trustees have assessed the Chartty's abilily to continue as a going concem. The trustees have considered several factors when fomiing their conclusion as to whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate when preparing these financial statements including a review of UFrfdate forecasts lo 31 Ma￿h 2023 Goverillg inGoffle, experKJrture, cash and reserves. the long- term cashtlow forecast to 31 March 2026 and a consKlerdtion of key risk5, including Cowd-19, that could negatively affect the Chariiy. The Charrty is funded primarily by donations from the Regions within the Congregation together with other donations from the Sisters and legacies. There is a risk that the pandemic will reduce Income in each of the regions during the year and consequently thi5 will reduce the income that is paid to the Charity. During the last year. most houses and Th)st regions have remained resilient to the challenges and have corrtlnued to operate successful houses. wlth appropriate changes to their operating praGtice5. Admi55ions have restarted in most locations aruj oG¢upan¢y in the homes is beginning lo increase. Admission embargoes are now much shorter than was the case in the earfy days of the pandemic and the number of residents dying has reduced considerabty. The impact Is reflected in the reports and f0￿Cast$ remewed by the Tnjstees. Debtor balances h8ve been reviewed and assessed and, as all loans are lo within the Congregation, they are Considered to be repayable in full. The budget and forecasts for the forthcoming year are considered to be deliverable and the ¢ashflow forecast show5 that there a￿ sufficient cash and liquid resources and forecast inflows for the period of review, with the support of the unreslricled reserves rf required. The Charity has not accessed any ofthe govemment grants or loans womded in response to the Cowd-19 parFdemic and does not antlclpate doing so. The Trustees therefore have a reasonable expectatlon that the Ch8rity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and so shoukl continue lo adopt the goiro concem basis In preparing the annual report and financial statements. Income recognition Income is recognised in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt and the amount Ls probable. Income is deferred only when the Charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled lo it or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to b8 expended in a futuff accounting period. Income comprises donations, legacies. investment in¢ome and interest receivable. Donations, including salaries and pension5 of individual religious received under deed of covenant, are recognised when the Charity has ¢onfim)ation of tKsth the amount aThJ settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the eipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject lo conditions that require a level of perfomiance before the Charily is entitled to Ihe funds, the income is deferred and not cognlsed until either those conditions are fully met, orlhe fulfilment of those conditions is wholly The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazarelh Generalate 27 Principal accounting policies 31 March 2021 within the control of the Charity and ti is probable that those condiiions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. A small number of volurrteers assist the work of the Charity, for example, provwjing Mass or assisting wblh the work of the Heritage Centre. Their contribution is greatly appreciated. I 8¢oordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102 volunteer time is not recognised. Legacies 8re included in the statetnent of financial a￿1VilIeS when the Charity 15 entitled to the legacy, the executors have established that there are suffiaent surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any condiiions atta¢hed lo the legacy are within the control of the Charity. Enlrtlemenl is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the Charity Is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the execLrtor to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distriblrtion is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy. in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably. and the Charity has been notified of the executorfs intention lo make a distribution. IAthere legacies have been nottfied to the Charity. or the Charity 15 aware of the granting of probate. but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a conlingenl asset and disclosed if material. In the event that the gift is in the fomi of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognrtion is Subje￿ to the value of the gfft being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title of the asset having being transferred to the Charity_ All of the Chaiity's listed investments compise accumulation units and hence investment income from listed investments is not credited to the statement of financial 8Ctiwlies as il is reflerted in the market value of the relevant investment holdinG. Interest on funds held on deposit and interest receivable on loans advanced to other entities 15 included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity. In the case of bank interest, this is nomially upon notification of the interest papj or payable by the bank. In the case of interest on monies advanced, this will be when the Charity becomes entitled to the interest under the tem￿ of the reievant108n agreement. Expendrture recognition and the basis of allocating govemance costs Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as the￿ a legal or constnJctive oblijation committing the Charrtyto make a payment to a third party., it is probable that a transfer of ecollomic benefts will be required in settlement and the amount of the oblwJation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expendilure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs. are allocated or apFM)rtioned to the applicable expendrture headillgs. The classification between activilies is as folbws: a. The costs of raising funds comprise the fees paid lo investment managers in ¢onneclion with the rnanagement of the Charity's li51ed investments, net of rebates received. Rebates arise when the fees deducted automatically through charges for common investment funds and related transactions exceed the fees agreed between the Charity and its Investment managers. The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth Generalale 28 Prlncipal accounting poli¢ie$ 31 March 2021 b. The costs of charitable activittes comprise expenditure on the Charity's primary p￿￿oSe5 as described in the trustees, report and indude the support of the Congregation's work in the United Kingdom and overseas. In the main such expendrture comprises the coordination and direction of, and the provision of advice to, the regions of the Congregation. losses on foreign exchange and the prowsion of grants and donation5 to projects of the Congregolion. Grants payable are included in the slatemenl of financial activliies when approved by the trustees and all conditions have been fulfilled by the intended recipient. Provision is made for grants and donations approved but unpald at the period end. Govem8nce costs comprise the costs Invol￿ng the public accountabllity of the Charlty (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compllance wlth regulation and goc#J practice. All governance costs are alloc8ted to expenditure on GOOTtlination and d1￿ctIOn of, and the provision of advir* to, Ihe regions of the Congregation. Tangible fixed assets All assets costing more than £2,500 ar￿ with an expecled useful life exceeding one year are capttalised. Tangible fixed assets are valued at h￿toriC c05t. A55ets are depreciated at a rate calculated to write the value down to tis estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates used 8re as follows= Freehold land not depreciated Freehokl buildings 50 years on a Stra￿hl-lIne basis12% per annum) Leaseholder improvements 10 yea[5 on a slraighl-line basis (10% per annum) for refvTbishments or component-based for new assets, varying from 10 to 50 years 12% 10 10% per annum) 4 years on a straigm-line basis (250A per annum) Motor vehicles Fixed asset investments Listed investments are a fomi of basic financial instrument and are inrtlally recognised at their transactlon value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closillg quoted market price.
