THE LAMBETH TRUST (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Future Plans The Trustees anlicipale continuing their support to enable Archbishop Justin's ministry. primarily through funding his three priority areas the renewal of prayer and the Religious Life,. Reconciliation,. and Evangelism and Witness. During March 2023, The Lambeth Trust committed £700,000 in respect of grants for 2023124 towards these priorities which are included within expendilure. On 12 November 2024, Archbishop Justin resigned from his post as Archbishop of Canterbury and will hand over his official duties to the Archbishop of York on 6 January 2025. The process lo appoinl a new Archbishop of Canlerbury will begin in due course via the Crown Nominalions Commission. In the meantime, the Trustees are working closely with Lambeth Palace during Ihis period lo ensure that The Lambeth Trusl can provide ongoing support to the priorities of the Archbishop of Canlerbury, at all times in furtherance of the Lambeth Trust's charitable obje¢tives. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Tnjstees maintain a risk register which is updated and reviewed at each Audit and Risk Committee meeting. The principal risk areas relate to fundraising, investment performance and reputational risk. Each identified risk is given a score based on the likelihood of its occurrence and its significance. Controls and an action plan for mitigating each risk are agreed. Fundraising risk - the failure to raise required funds from Lambeth Partners lo finance granls. The cost of living crisis, the long-term impact of the pandemic and the debale over same-sex marriage within the Church of England heightened this risk further. The risk was partly mitigated by the appointmenl of a Development Director and an Engagement Lead. together with support from Trustees of the fundraising strategy. Investment risk - the external environment leading to a significant fall in markets which in turn impacts the investment portfolio and the value of The Lambeth Twst's fund. The risk was partly mitigated by the appointment of CCLA to manage the Lambeth Trust's portfolio. Reputational risk - the failure lo have an adequate communication strategy in place in the evenl of negative media Coverage of The Lamb81h Trust's activities {or within the office of the Archbishop of Canlerbury or Lambelh Palace), which could impact Ihe number of Lambeth Partners and the level of their giving. The risk 15 mitigated by working closely with the Press Office at Lambelh Palace. FUNDRAISING During the year The Lambeth Trust conlinued to employ a Development Director and an Engagement Lead to raise money for the Archbishop's priorities from Lambeth Partners and from charitable trusts and foundations. The Development Director and the Engagement Lead reported progress to the Trustees each month via a written report. Donor income targets were also reviewed at each Trustee meeting during the year. The principal method of fundraising is to invite existing and potential Lambeth Partners to evenls at Lambeth Palace so that they can hear first-hand from the Archbishop about his priority areas and the funding required. No professional fundraising agencies are used in the Lambeth Trust's fundraising activities. The Lambeth Trust follows the Fundraising Code of Practice and there have been no issues of non-compliance with the Code of Practice nor complaints received in relalion to fundraising during the year. The individuals involved in the Lambeth Trust's fundraising activities are aware of the need lo conduct them in such a way as to avoid unreasonable intrusion, unreasonably persistent approaches or placing undue pressure on a vulnerable person or other members of the public.

THE LAMBETH TRUST {A company limited by guaranlee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LAMBETH TRUST (CONTINUED) other Information The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial slatements 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, except to the extent otherwise explicitly slated in our report, 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 malerially inconsistent with the financial slatements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears lo be materially misstaled. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparenl material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial stalemenls themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude Ihal there is a material misslalement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of Ihe audit.. the information given in the Trustees, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. the Trustees, report has been prepared in accordan with applicable legal requirements.

THE LAMBETH TRUST (A company Ilmited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LAMBETH TRUST (CONTINUED) Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the ¢haritable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparalion of the financial stalements and for being satisfied thal they give a true and fair view. and for such internal conlrol as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 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 Charitable companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and using the going co.ncern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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 Auditols report thal includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always delect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the a9gregale, they could reasonably be expecled to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are inslances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wilh our responsibililies, outlined above, lo detecl material misstatemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial slatements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these beeen our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriale to provide a basis for our opinion. We oblained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detemiination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required ompliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statemenls but compliance with which might be fundamenlal to the charitable company's ability to operate or lo avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incenlives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for UK operations were laxation legislation and employment legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audil procedures to identify non-compliance wilh Ihese laws and regulations to enquiry of the Tnjstees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal Gorrespondence, if any. Page 10
THE LAMBETH TRUST (A company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LAMBETH TRUST (CONTINUED) We identified Ihe greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud. to be within the liming of recognition of income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond lo these risks included enquiries of management, and the Audit and Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, designing audit procedures over the liming of income. reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence including that wilh the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of rneetings of those charged with governance. Because of Ihe inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detecl 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 slatements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non<ompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .uklauditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditorfs report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable companls members, as a body, in accordance wilh Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audil work has been undertaken so that we might state to Ihe charitable companvs members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest exlenl permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charilable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
