is endorsed and recommended by the Charities Commission. The Code alms lo help charities and their trustees
develop high standards of governance and is intended as a practical tool lo help trustees achieve this. and as a
tool for continuous improvement towards the highest standards.

FUNDRAISING

RESERVES AND RESERVES POLICY
Christ Church Students. Union holds reseNes that are calegorised as either 'unrestricted' or 'designated'. The
management of the unrestricted reserves is guided by the Resetves Policy. This is monitored annually and
formally reviewed every Ihree years, and was last reviewed on 8 October 2021.
The major ehange in the review was to create a 'Canterbury Campus Designated Fund, in a future period of
£150,000 to help resource the Union's move back onto Ihe Canterbury Campus in 2023.
The Reserves Policy has the followng objeclives. some ol which are legal requirements and some are
considered best practice..
Charity law requires any income received by a charity to bg spent within a reasonable p8riod of receipt.
Excess reserves can lie up charily money that by law should be spent on the charitable purposes of the
Unlon, bul insufficient reserves pul the Union's solvency and Ihe future of achieving slated charitable
oblectr'ves al risk. The Policy sets our the largel reserves and the rationale for that target.
Union funds musl be used appropriately, prudently, lawfully and in accordance with the Unions. purposes
for the public benefit as outlined in the Articles of Association. The Policy sets out how the Union will use
funds prudently and18wfully.
Trustees should be able lo justify the holdlng of income as reserves. The Policy will enable Iruslees to do
this, whilst remaining accountable lo the main stakeholders and funders of the charity and to members.
The Union's reserves target is 1 S /0 of the annual Block Grant income. In 2021122 this equated lo a larget
reserve of £112,500.
These reserves will be invested and managed by an appropriately experienced and qualified financial expert and
form part of an investment strategy that is agreed annually by the Iruslees. Investment in capital assets will be
agreed by the trustees and wlll be supported from unreslricled reserves.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Trustees have identified the major risks facing the Union and recorded them. and the management of these, in
the Union's Risk Register and Oashboard. The Risk Register and Dashboard is actively maintained and
reviewed, ac￿rdIng lo the Risk Management Policy. This was last rev+ewed and re-approved on 15 July 2021_

for the year ended 30 June 2022
The Risk Register and Dashboard actively manages the len 1101 largest perceived risks lo the organisation.
Risks are graded from 1-5 for likelihood and multiplied by 1-5 for impact. In 2021122 there were five risks that
were Considered particularly significanl.
'Los5 of key staff and service conts'nuity, _ the Union. like many organisalions. has been challenged by the
difficult staff recruitment market since the pandemic.
'Data pTole¢lion compliance, the Union had two data breaches in 2020121, and ensuring compliance with
student data, by students, is an ongoing challenge.
'Studenl recruilmenl. Christ Church has experienced a reduction in direcl-laughl student numbers in the
past three years. which had Ihreatgned the financial viability of thg University.
'Sludenl conlinualion. completion and piogression, Christ Church has a higher non-conlinu8tion rale of
students than the average of benchmark inslilulions al 100/•, according lo HESA data. As well as being
disappointing that sludenls do not feel able lo Gomplele their studies with us, the failure lo retain students
is a financial risk for the Universily and Union.
'Club Sport Provision. The Union and ChTlSt Church Sport & Aclive Health ICCS8AHI have not always
had a partnership approach lo the delivery of club sport fgr students due lo disagreements on approach
and funding.
REMUNERATION
All Union 51aff are supposed to be employed on joinl contracts with Canterbury Christ Church University and are,
in all practical purposes, staff of the University seconded to the Union, with the same pay, pension, ar)d benefits.
Siaff roles are graded according lo the Higher Education Role Analysis (HERA) criteria and the pay of each
grade is determined nationally on an annual basis by the Universities & Colleges Employers Association in
consultation with recognised Iradg unions.
The remuneration of Sabbatical Officers is delemiined every two years after a benchmarking analysis of
comparable roles in similar organisalions and a report is presented lo Ihe Union Council. The Union Council will
then formally recomrnend a remuneration package lo the Board of Trustees for final delerminalion, according lo
the constitLrtion of the Union and Financial Memorandum. Twslees with a conflict of interest in this decision are
gxcluded from the vole. The Board of Trus1985 last reviewed the remuneration of Sabbatical Officers In
February 2022.
GENDER PAY GAP
The Gender Pay Gap legislation is not applicable to Ihe Union by virtue of the small size of the organisalion,
however, as a transparent membership organisation the Union was Committed lo calculating and publishing a
gènder pay gap analysis as if the legislation had applied.
These calculations include sabbatical officers, and were correct as of 31 March 2022. The figures below do not
include bonus pay, as the Union does not operate a bonus scheme.
Women's mean hourly rate was 19Yo lower than men's. So when comparing mean hourlyrales. women
earn 81 p for every £1 that men earn. In 2021 this was 320/. lower.
Women's median hourly rale was 16 /0 lower than men's. In other words, when Comparing median hourly
rates, women eam 84p for every £1 that men earn. In 2021 this was 230/0 lower.

RELATIONSHIP WITH CANTERBURY CHRIST CHURCH UNIVERSITY
Christ Church Students, Union receives an allocation of funds from cante￿ury Christ Church Univarsily in the
form of a Block Grant and additional 'in-kind' support with accommodation and other services. Guidance for the
managèment and handling of the Union's financial accounts are agreed on an annual basis by Canterbury Christ
Church University's Board of Governors via the Finance Resources Committee and the Union's Board of
Trustees in the form of a Financial Memorandum.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The 2022123 Sabbatical Leadership Team have developed thelr major objectives for the coming year, which are
a rèfinement of those of the previous year.
Ampllfy the lessth•ard student vol¢es
The core purpose of Christ Church Students, Union is lo represent all CCCU students and work with the
University lo provide you with the best possible university experience. However, we know that there are some
students whose voices we don't currently hear." we will be proactive in seeking lo bolh represent and re-present
those voices. We will focus on Ihg following groups, as data shows that they are either underrepresented within
thè Union's engaged groups, or they have particular needs from their University experience:
Students with dependents
Students based al Medway
Postgraduate students
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds
Disabled students
Students of colour (also covered by our goal to work towards being an an￿-raCIst Universityl-
We wll actively engage with such students through existing student networks, and ensure that we are working to
amplify the voices of the less heard students al every level of the University and wilhin every Students, Union
decision.
Protoct and support students, mental and physltal wellbelng
Students, wellbeing is our lop priority. and we see this in 8 holistic way.. both mental and physical wellbeing are
important to ensure you can gel the best from your University experience. We therefore commit to working with
the University lo provide evenls, activilies, and serVI￿S that will promote students, wellbeing- lo tackle any
aspects of University life that impact negatively on wellbeing,. and to ensure that sufficient and timely support is
provided when students, wellbeing is affected.
This will include working on campaigns around mental he8llh,' running mental health and wellbeing training for
student groups., working with the University and community partners on student safety, harassment, and sexual
violence,. lobbying for enhanced wellbeing support provision., increasing engagement with physical activity,. and
running events designed with your wellbeing in mind.
Work towards being an antl4aclst Universlty
Christ Church has one of the worst Black awarding gaps in thg country. bul also a commitment to eradicate this
by 2030. This is a shared responsibility tor all gf us and the Union commits to championing this work with the
University and students.
It's not enough to wot* on the Black awarding gap, however. More work needs to be done to make CCCU Ibolh
the University and the Students, Union) an actively anti-racist organisalion. This requires a commitment to
acknowledging the structural racism present in society, and therefore in our University and Union, and taking
active steps to tackle it. As an all-white Sabbatical Leadership Team, we recognise that this involves listening to
and working closely with students of colovr to change how bolh the University and Union work lo better support
their needs.

Take acllon on the Climate Em9rggncy
In advance of the UN Secretary General's Climate Summit in 2019, national and international networks
representing more than 7.000 higher and further educalion institutions from six continents announced that they
were declaring a Climate Emergency, and agreed lo undertake a Ihree-point plan to address the crisis through
their work with students. The Ihree-point plan includes..
Committing lo going cartjon neutral by 2030, or 2050 al the very latest",
Mobilising more resources for aclion-oriented climate change research and skills creation.,
Increasing the delivery of environmental and sustainability education across ¢urriGula, campus and
community outreach programmes.
CCCU and the Union jointly signed this pledge in 2019. and taking action has never been more imperative. We
will commil to working internally. and with the University. to reduce our collective impact on the Planet and lo Fun
a range of inilialives and campaigns to engage students with action to tackle the Climate Emergency.
Be bold. be visible. and be where students aTO
We struggle with visibility as a Students, Union. as our building is not on the Canterbury Campus, our location in
Medway is hidden, and we don't have a base at all in Tunbridge Wells. We need lo do more lo ensure that
students know who we are and what we do.
We will therefore commit lo bein9 proactive in our engagement, going to where students are ar)d making our
presence known. We want lo increase and diversify our Union on Tour events, ensuring we ar8 regularly
listening to students and showcasing what we offer. We want more sludenl social spaces on campus, with
visible Students, Union branding so that students don't have to wme to our building or office lo know who we are
and how to contact us. Eventually, we want the Students, Union lo be back on the Canterbury Campus, and lo
have an improved location in Medway, bul in the meantime st's our responsibility to be where students are.
In addition to the conlinualion of the work lo achieve Ihe BIG FIVE from thg previous year, the 2022123
Sabbatical Leadership Team have determined that the number one priority and campaign for 2022123 will be
helping students with the Cost of ￿VIng and Learning Crisis.
The Union's full 2022123 operating plan Ihe Team CCSU Success Plan 2022123 - is again hosted dynamically
and publicly on Trello for students and stakeholders to view.
CONCLUSION
The Truslees would like to sincerely thank the members, volunteers, staff, and stakeholders of Christ Church
Students, Union, and the governors, STM. and staff of CanterbLJry Christ Church University, who all provide an
invaluable contribution lo the ongoing success and development of Ihe Students, Union and enable us lo 'bettei
student life and enrich sludents. experiences..

Auditors, respon5ibilitios for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable 2ssurance about whether the financial slalemenls as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an Auditors, report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always delecl a material misstatement when il exists. Misstalemenls can arise
from fraud or error and ale considered material if, Individual￿ or in the aggregate, they could ieasonably be
expected to influence the economic de¢isions ol users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulaltons. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delecl material misstalemenls in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
Capability of the audil in doteGlin9 irregularities, inGluding fraud
Based on our understanding of the charlly and industry, and through discussion wth the trustees and other
management las required by audiling standardsl, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with
laws and regulations related lo health and safely, anli-bribery and employThenl law. We corisidered the extent to
which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial slalemenls. Vve also considered those laws
and regulations that have a direct impact 0￿ the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies
Act 2006 and laxalion legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and
remained alert lo any indications of non-complian￿ throughout the audit. We evaluated management's
in¢enlives and opportunib'es for fraudulent manipulation of the financial stalemenls lincluding the risk of override
of eonlrolsl, and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting eslimales
and judgemenlal areas of the financial stalerrbenls. Audit pro¢edures performed by the engagement team
included..
Discussions with managemenl and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with
laws and rogulalions {including health and safety} and fTaud', an
Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and
Walklhrough of inlemal controls procedures relating to expenditure potentially more susceptible to fraud
and other irregulaiilies including cash, payroll and credit card expenditure., and
Performing analyts'cal procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including ielaled
party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstalemenl due lo ffaud., and
Confimialion of related parties wlh management, and review of transactions throughout the perlod lo
identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of
business.. and
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governgn¢e and reviewing correspondence with
relevanl regulatory aulhorilies., and
Review of signilicanl and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financi81 rationale
supporting the Iransaelions,. and
Identifying and tests'ng joumal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial
slalement preparation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delecl all irregularities, including
those leading lo 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 lo become aware of inslan¢es of non-compliance.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scgpticism throughout the audil. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and oblaln audit evidence Ihal is
sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. The Tisk of not detecting a material
misstalemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, OT the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order lo design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purFK)se of expr&ssing an opinion of the effectiveness
of the charitable Companls intemal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
eslimales and re121ed disclosures made by the Trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and.
based on the audit evidence obtained, whather a material uncertainly exists related lo events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the charitable companys ability lo continue as a going concern. If we
conclude Ihal a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw allenlion in our Auditors, report to the
related disclosures in the financial sialements or, il such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the dale of our Auditors. report.
However. future events or conditions may cause the chaiitsble Company lo cease to continue as a going
concem.
Evaluate the overall presentation, strUC￿re and content of the financial stalemenls, including the
disclosures. and whether the financial slalements represent the underlying transactions and events in
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
tirning of the audit and significant audii findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal oontrol that we
identify during our audit.

The financial slalements have been prepared lo give a Irue and fairf view and have deparled frorn
the Charities IAccounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the exlenl Tequired lo provide a 'true

2.2 Golng concern
The financial relattonship betsveen Canterbury Christ Church University and Christ Church Students,
Union is agreed annually in the form of a Financial Memorandum. and as determined in the Code of
Practice and Articles of Association.
The Financial Memorandum confirms the annual allocation of a Block Grant pai(1 by the Universtty
and further support in the form of accommodation provided on an in-kind basis. This non-monetary
support is intrinsic lo the relationship beMeen the University and the Students, Union.
There is no reason lo believe that the support from the University will not continue for the foreseeable
lulure, as the Education Act 1994 imposes a duly on the University lo ensure the financial viability of
its student rep￿sentatIVe body. These financial statements have therefore been prepared on a wing
concern basis.

are dislribtjted to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

involved in undertaking each activity. Direct cosls attributable lo a single activity are allocated directly
lo that adivity. Shared costs which contribute lo more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable lo a single activity are apportioned b&￿een those aclivilies on a basis consislenl with
the use of resources. Central slafl costs are allocated on Ihe basis of lime spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the gssel's use.

fixed assets are measured al cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. cosls incurred lo bring a tangible fixed asset into ils intended Working condition should be

amount il has received as advanced payments for the goods or services il must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the lime value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
