Catholic Voices Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2020
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are to advance the Catholic religion for the benefit of the public, in particular but not exclusively, by explaining the doctrine and practices of the Catholic faith (in accordance with the Magisterium, Catechism and Canon Law of the Catholic Church) and the relevance of its teaching to modem society and culture and daily life.
To further the objects the charity may, without limitation, organise and assist in the provision of conferences, courses, lectures, debates, exhibitions, training and other educational activities; publish and distribute books, articles and films; carry out or promote research; provide or procure advice and make donations.
The charity may, alone or with other organisations, seek to influence public opinion and make representations to and seek to influence governmental and other bodies and institutions regarding the reform, development and implementation of appropriate policies, legislation and regulations provided that all such activities shall be confined to those which an English and Welsh charity may properly undertake.
The charity may also establish, support or aid any other charitable associations.
Connection with other associations: In order to achieve its objects, the charity liaises with the Bishops' Conference in England and Wales and the Catholic Communications Network. It is, however, completely independent of these bodies.
Statement on public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
The benefits of the charity are open to everyone. The benefits which arise are enabling the public at large to understand better the teaching of the Catholic Church and how this is relevant to daily life and society. Once people are properly informed of what the Church teaches and why, they are able make informed decisions about the importance and relevance of that teaching.
The above is achieved through 1) public media appearances by either the trustees or by people who have been trained by the charity; 2) CV The Academy meetings which are public events on topical issues usually with external speakers and experts; 3) CV Comment which contains regular articles; and; 4) the Public Speaking Programme which consists of public presentations by CV trained speaker on topical issues.
The charity also organises training sessions for people who are interested in understanding Church teaching and being able to communicate it effectively. Some of the Academy meetings are for Academy members only and these are used to reach a better understanding of Church teaching and decide how best this should be explained in public. Catholic Voices Academy sessions are open to anyone who follows the Church's teaching and wishes to deepen their understanding.
These Academy meetings and the training PSP sessions also have a public benefit in that they enable attendees to better explain Church teaching in the public forum whether that be informally with everyday social contacts or formally through media commitments.
The trustees confirm they have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Significant activities
Catholic Voices speakers were in 56 media interviews during 2020. 47 on radio, 9 on TV and a total of 43 appearances for the BBC. This brings the total of media appearances in the UK since 2010 to 1,203, an average of 2.2 per week. The most significant issue of 2020, in terms of volume of media requests, was the IICSA Report (16 appearances).
The Public Speakers' Programme (PSP) delivered 38 talks or workshops (8 live and 30 virtually) in various contexts (dioceses, parishes, university chaplaincies and on an ad hoc basis as and when the need arose). This brings the total of talks/workshop delivered since the official launch of PSP in 2017 to 183, an average of 1 per week. Notable talks/workshops in 2020 included: a preaching workshop for Priests of Paisley Diocese (Jan); various workshops for Westminster Youth Ministry; workshop on 'Mission in a digital age' for Northampton Diocese (Sep) & workshop for Adult Formators of England (Nov).
In 2020 we have hosted 19 Catholic Voices academies, 18 of which were webinars. The academy webinars this year have had an average attendance of 50-100 but the most popular academies this year have been: 'The Life You Were Made For' with Chris Stefanick (May); The beatification of Blessed Carlo Acutis which currently has 25k views on YouTube (Oct) and The Duty of Catholics to Engage in Public Life with Mike Kane MP (Nov).
Catholic Voices was also involved in a major survey assessing responses to the Covid-19 crisis among Catholics in the UK. Over 2,500 Catholics were surveyed, between 19th May and the 26th July, about their experiences and attitudes towards lockdown. The survey, which is part of a wider survey of UK Christian responses to the present crisis, was undertaken by Professor Francis Davis (University of Birmingham and Oxford), Professor Andrew Village (York St John University) and Professor Leslie Francis (University of Warwick) who collaborated with Catholic Voices to publicise the survey and produce the report.
In 2020 CV secured funding from the Cardinal's Appeal to begin developing a brand new project designed to equip the next generation of Catholic leaders called RISE UP. The project, which began in 2020 is in the planning and development stage, which when completed will invite young people (16-21) from various contexts to apply for a programme of training in leadership and communication skills as well as spiritual formation. For this project Catholic Voices is collaborating with Westminster Youth Ministry to invite Westminster-based leaders to be engaged with the activities of the diocese as well as responding directly to the call of Pope Francis' exhortation to young people in the document Christus Vivit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Significant events
Income for the period was £54,435 and came from donations £53,000 and other income £1,435.
Expenditure was £80,467 giving a decrease in funds for the period of £26,032. Reserves
CV has a policy of maintaining reserves equal to at least 2 months of the budgeted expenditure although it is intended to try and build this to 6 months. CV also has a policy of not committing to expenditure unless the funds have already been raised or committed. CV budgets for the year ahead based on amounts committed by existing regular donors and newly committed funds and so is able to manage the cash flow. It therefore considered that the 2 months reserves are adequate.
Going concern
No material uncertainties exist about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Whilst the impact of Covid-19 has been considered. Our cashflow forecasts and budgets do not suggest that there is any reason for concern and all risks around Covid-19 have been mitigated as far as possible.

Catholic Voices Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2020
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiners statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Catholic Voices Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2020
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Catholic Voices meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
No material uncertainties exist about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Whilst the impact of Covid-19 has been considered. Our cashflow forecasts and budgets do not suggest that there is any reason for concern and all risks around Covid-19 have been mitigated as far as possible.
Statement of cash flows
The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charitable company is small.
Funds
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
