THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 29 June 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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).
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are to:
-
advance education including the promotion of the understanding of religion, religious diversity and the sacred and spiritual, and
-
advance and preserve culture and heritage for the public benefit, including (but not limited to) the provision of a Christian heritage centre in or around Stonyhurst in Lancashire.
The trustees have focused on making progress to "advance education including the promotion of the understanding of religion, religious diversity and the sacred and spiritual" by creating greater access to the collections of historic and religious artefacts of Stonyhurst College and have raised funds to do this further by creating accommodation and education space for visitors and eventually "the provision of a Christian heritage centre in or around Stonyhurst in Lancashire".
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and planning the activities of the charity, including the guidance "Public Benefit: running a charity (PB2)".
Achievements and performance
June 2022 saw the recommencement of the charity’s activities in-person, as well as the restart of its subsidiary commercial activity, at Theodore House.
The charity launched the summer with three residential courses that it now considers part of its established annual offering: one on iconography, and two further courses of a theological nature. With respect to previous iterations of these courses, attendance was increased for the iconography and one of the theological courses, and the feedback received continued to be excellent. One of the courses had to be cancelled due to a lack of uptake. This perhaps reflected the effect of the dormancy of the charity’s in-person activities at a critical time in the development of its public offering. Further discussions were had with the CHC’s partners across all three courses in order to keep developing the uptake, the content and the accessibility of the material offered, so as to always improve the CHC’s offer.
As when the charity had begun developing its operation before Covid, it took on a second member of staff: a fulltime, onsite graduate to assist with communications and administration, as well as to provide Theodore House with a further hospitality/meet-and-greet resource in exchange for the accommodation provided to the assistant.
The charity also returned to its previous schedule of a retreat for clergy in the autumn, bringing together 14 priests from around the UK for five days, followed by a second clergy retreat in the spring of 2023, at which numbers were increased to 20.
Other in-person activities that the charity had previously begun offering were resumed, such as a marriage preparation course for couples in the local area. In March, the charity organised an exhibition on the Shroud of Turin, which was a considerable success. The exhibition was open to members of the public over a number of days, as well as further days being made available to pre-booked groups. Two public talks were expanded to three, in the face of popular demand. The exhibition engaged some 900 individuals in total, and helped raise the profile of both the charity and its facility.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2023
A programme of weekend retreats was offered for 2023 based on the very successful series of online talks, “Saints, Scholars and Spiritual Masters”. The retreats each focussed on one of the saints that had featured in the talks, and were led by the same speaker. Two of these retreats fell within the current reporting year: one filled up Theodore House’s bedroom capacity, exceeding the target attendance and receiving excellent feedback. The second had to be cancelled due to lack of interest.
In May 2023 the CHC held a “Walk for Life”, a sponsored 2.5 hour walk along the Tolkien Trail to raise funds for Right to Life, a pro-life charity. The walk featured talks from speakers, including the Lord Alton of Liverpool, prayer in the local St Peter’s church, and tea and cakes afterwards in Theodore House. The event was a great success with some 100 attendees turning out for a day of camaraderie and prayer.
The charity also offered a first conference in May aimed at educators. This was only moderately-successful in terms of the attendance, just failing to meet the hoped-for target. As a new venture, however, the event was a useful learning experience, providing valuable feedback around the type of content and input required.
Towards the end of the reporting period, the charity also co-hosted a conference on “Faith and Future Generations” with Porticus UK, one of its previous benefactors, for partners working with young people in order to consider challenges and responses in relation to safeguarding issues. The reporting year closed with the annual iconography course, which built on the previous’ summer’s course with a growth in attendance and further development of the content.
Over the course of the year, the charity saw its subsidiary operation re-commence under the guidance of newlyemployed and initially part-time Business Manager. The development of this side-by-side commercial activity at Theodore House necessitated the expansion of the Business Manager’s hours at the start of 2023.
Financial review
The charity has total reserves of £3,449,512 (2022 - 3,488,241) and free reserves after excluding restricted funds and long term loans of £3,445,776 (2022 - £2,419,896). The charity had restricted funds of £3,736 (2022 - £28,228) comprising donations made for legal and professional fees, and sponsorship of course expenses. The charity intends to hold excess funds for significant periods of time. As the charity continues to grow, it will develop a reserves policy appropriate to its responsibilities and operations.
The charity's total income for the year was £174,871 (2022 - £99,384), comprising donations of £99,861 (2022 - £39,227), rental income of £36,000 (2022 - £36,000) and charitable events at Theodore House of £39,010 (2022 - £24,157). The funds will be used to forward the aims and objectives as detailed in this report.
Total expenditure for the year was £213,600 (2022 - £345,418). The charity made a deficit for the year of £38,729 (2022 - £246,034).
Structure, governance and management
The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 6 June 2012 and registered as a charity on 27 September 2012. The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the organisation and is governed under its articles of association dated 6 June 2012.
Trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees. There is a requirement for a proposer and seconder, and a majority vote of the trustees (at a valid trustees meeting) for that trustee to be elected. Trustees are not given specific training, but rather are appointed for the skills they bring to the board.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Stonyhurst College, Stonyhurst, Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 9PZ.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Rent has been charged to the charity's subsidiary of £3,000 per month, and is included in the financial statements.
Income from the use of Theodore House for charitable events has been included in the financial statements.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Leasehold improvements | not depreciated |
|---|---|
| Catering equipment | 20% straight line |
| Furniture and equipment | 10% straight line |
| Computer equipment | 33% straight line |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

(Continued)
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Change in accounting policy
The Trustees have elected to cease further depreciation of leasehold improvements on the basis of advice received by the charity of its right to renew the related lease at the end of the current term. No changes have been made in respect of prior periods.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
