## **Annual Report of the Trustees 2021-22**
The trustees are Frances Baines, Diane Clarke, Father Eamon Corduff, Brother Andrew Ferris, Victoria Hamilton, Tony Holland, Andrew Kenny, Rachel Mackenzie, Pat O’Connor, Ray Russell and Mike Weaver.
We were pleased to return to a residential conference. This was held over the weekend of 19[th] to 21st August 2022. The theme of the conference was based the Gospel according to St John Chapter 4 verse 14 _“Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.”_ The principal speaker was Father Pat Deegan. Over 60 attended the conference. The conference sessions were also broadcast live on our YouTube channel. Almost 300 viewers followed the conference sessions.
In December 2021 we held an advent evening of renewal led by Daniella Stephens. The theme was _Fiat “Be it done unto me according to thy word”_ taken from the Gospel of St Luke Chapter 1 verse 38. The event was broadcast live on our YouTube Channel and attracted almost 600 viewings.
Trustees decided to fund part of the cost of the residential conference from its reserves. Costs for the year overall exceeded income this year by £4,532 (2021 deficit £8,038). Reserves were £40,216 on 31[st] October 2022 (£44,748 2021).
The policy to hold enough funds in reserve to cover at least 50% of forecast expenses was maintained.
Having reviewed risks, finances and commitments the trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
The Trustees confirm that Safeguarding Procedures were in place in accordance with The Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham guidelines.
The Trustees have considered public benefit obligations and consider the Trust meets them through its activities and voluntary efforts of trustees together with those of volunteers.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements were approved by the Trustees on 28[th] November 2022.

## **Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Birmingham Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference (registered Charity number 1153935)**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 October 2022, which are set out on page 3
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- -to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act; and
- -state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of the Independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ' true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
