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 2024 saw the continued delivery of a first, fully-established year-programme of activities based at Theodore House. Most significantly, the charity’s Christian Leadership Formation programme was successfully relaunched this year, with a cohort of 15 students joining the first of the three residentials that make up the programme. This was held in July at Theodore House (Stonyhurst), with the next two, shorter residentials being hosted in London at the Diocese of Westminster’s retreat centre in Pinner, in October 2024 and February 2025. The regular summer courses ran alongside this during the summer, with the annual iconography course and two theological courses taking place. The autumn saw various retreat offerings for both laity, and separate retreats for priests and for permanent deacons. The latter marked a new offering for 2024, and represented a development of the charity’s commitment to supporting clergy, and was well-received by attendees. The charity was also delighted to welcome Prof. Marcus Cole from the Law Faculty of Notre Dame University in the autumn, hosting a talk on St Thomas More and Religious Freedom at Theodore House, and an event in Parliament, Westminster. The one-year contract for the CHC’s second member of staff came to an end in September. Unfortunately, the charity was unable to fund for a replacement, and so the human resource capacity was temporarily diminished. The 2025 calendar year was launched on the basis of the patterns of events thus far established, again producing a published programme ahead of the year to advertise its offer. New to the programme was a 5-day Ignatian retreat for men during Lent, which proved tremendously popular, as well as a residential marriage preparation course, which in great part picked up custom from attendees at the previous spring’s retreat for singles and dating couples. Sadly, the same retreat did not attract sufficient interest in the spring of 2025 to be viable – most likely due to a change in marketing strategy and event format. - 1 - ## **THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025** The CHC continued to provide support to third parties as requested, which this year included clergy input for the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, training for PSHE Leaders in Cardiff Archdiocese, and Marriage Preparation days for the Jesuit parish in Farm Street, London. ## **Financial review** The charity has total reserves of £3,249,436 (2024 - £3,313,924) and free reserves after excluding restricted funds and long term loans of £3,218,736 (2024 - £3,297,211). The charity had restricted funds of £30,700 (2024 - £16,713) 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 £234,816 (2024 - £104,915), comprising donations of £106,278 (2024 - £4,894), rental income of £36,000 (2024 - £36,000) and charitable events at Theodore House of £92,340 (2024 - £63,938). The funds will be used to forward the aims and objectives as detailed in this report. Total expenditure for the year was £299,304 (2024 - £240,503). The charity made a deficit for the year of £64,488 (2024 - £135,588). ## **Plans for future periods** The charity is working on a major fund-raising campaign targeting £3.8m, in order to secure a long-term continuation and expansion of its activities. £1.15m of this target has already been secured as a pledge and discussions with potential benefactors are underway ## **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.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011. ## **Independent examiner's 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: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. - 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 Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or - 4 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached. ## PM+M Solutions for Business LLP ## **Dean Rodgers ACA** ## **For and on behalf of PM+M Solutions for Business LLP** New Century House Greenbank Technology Park Challenge Way Blackburn Lancashire BB1 5QB 26 March 2026 - 4 - ## **THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025** |**Unrestricted**

The registered office is Stonyhurst College, Stonyhurst, Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 9PZ. ## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 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. - 7 - ## **THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies** **(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. - 8 - **THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(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 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. - 9 - ## **THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE CENTRE AT STONYHURST** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025** ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**
