Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
The trustees present their report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The object of the charity described in its articles of association is to:
“… advance the religious and other charitable purposes of the Church of England in the ecclesiastical parish of St Dionis, Parsons Green and Fulham, for the benefit of the public.”
The main activities of the charity are:
-
The operation of two church halls – the Mission Hall and the Sulivan Hall in Parsons Green – for use by St Dionis Church and for wider community use.
-
Commercial letting of a residential house – 16 Parsons Green –to raise income for the charity.
-
The making of grants to St Dionis church in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
The charity also acts as trustee of the Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Property Trust, the charity which holds the properties as an endowment.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Achievements and performance
The charity's main activities, and whom it tries to help, are described below. All its charitable activities are undertaken to further Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
The Mission Hall and Sulivan Hall
The letting policy for the halls supports the activities of St Dionis church directly by the provision of meeting space for a variety of church activities. In furtherance of the wider mission and ministry of St Dionis, the letting policy also supports the community of Parsons Green more widely by providing affordable meeting spaces for a wide range of community uses that could not operate without access to such facilities.
Hire charges for the halls are set at rates comparable to those for the hire of similar facilities in the Parsons Green area. The trustees discount these rates when they believe that a hirer will provide a benefit to the community consistent with the mission and ministry of St Dionis and would not otherwise be able to hire a hall or other suitable meeting place.
During the year the Mission Hall and Sulivan Hall were used as church halls for:
-
1.Regular Sunday church services while the St Dionis church building was being refurbished.
-
2.Children’s Sunday School activities;
-
3.Other church meetings (e.g. PCC);
-
4.Church Social Events.
The Mission Hall and the Sulivan Hall were let to a wide variety of community groups such as:
-
1.Scouts and Guides;
-
2.Alcoholics Anonymous;
-
3.Rough Sleepers night shelter;
-
4.Mother and Baby Groups;
-
5.Local Brass Bands and other music groups;
-
A variety of commercially run children’s activities;
These operations continued normally in the first quarter of 2020 up until 18[th] March 2020 when the national lockdown for COVID-19 required the trustees to close both halls. The impact of COVID-19 on the operations and finances of the charity is discussed further below.
The charity had hoped to refurbish the Mission Hall during 2020. However, the COVID-19 emergency further delayed these plans and the work is now planned to be undertaken in 2021.
The Sulivan hall was also let during term time to the Zebedee Nursery School that maintains close links with St Dionis.
6 Parsons Green
The charity continued to receive ground rent for its freehold interest in 6 Parsons Green from YMCA London South West who hold the head lease.

16 Parsons Green
16 Parsons Green is a Victorian house divided into two flats which were expanded and refurbished by the charity in 2016-17. Both flats were let commercially throughout 2020 to generate income for the charity (there was a short void period between tenants in in the letting of the upper floor flat caused by the COVID-19 lockdown – see below for more details). This income is used firstly to repay the mortgage taken out to pay for the refurbishment. Surplus income goes into the general funds of the charity.
Grants
The trustees were able to make grants of £4,500 during 2020. In detail these grants were:
-
a. £500 to St Matthew’s Wandsworth Bridge Road to assist with purchase of a new laptop
-
b. £2,000 to St Luke’s Uxbridge Road to help with hiring a youth worker
-
c. £2,000 to SEAPIA (Sands End Adventure Playground) to help with cost of warm snacks for disadvantaged children
Impact of the COVID-19 virus on operations and revenues in 2020
The COVID-19 virus had an impact on the charity’s operations and revenues in 2020.
The trustees were already planning to close the Mission Hall from the second quarter to enable its refurbishment. However with the national lockdown the hall had to be closed a month early on 18[th] March 2020. This led to a loss of £1,600 in letting income. The Mission Hall remained closed for the rest of 2020 and will only reopen once the refurbishment, planned for 2021, is completed.
Zebedee Nursery School, which rents the Sulivan hall, had to close for half of the summer term to comply with government directions. The trustees with regard to the long term relationship which the charity has had and continues to have with Zebedee agreed to waive the summer term’s rent of £6,710. The two brass bands which normally rehearse in the Sulivan hall in the evening were unable to do so from March 2020 for the rest of the year leading to a loss of letting income of £1,026.
The tenancy of the upper floor flat at 16 Parsons Green ended in March 2020. Lockdown restrictions delayed the marketing and re-letting of the flat. The consequential loss in rental income was £7,526.
Financial review
The income of the charity including its linked charity in 2020 was £106,366 (2019: £155,211), being letting and investment income. The expenditure of the charity including its linked charity in 2020 was £108,895 (2019: £134,121) on the running costs of the two halls and the redevelopment costs of 16 Parsons Green.

Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity
Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
The properties are held under an endowment by the Property Trust, the capital works on these properties being offset by the mortgage. The appraisal by an independent valuer on 31 December 2018 on 16 Parsons Green valued this investment property to £2,525,000. At their meeting on 19[th] April 2021 the trustees, after reviewing information on current market conditions, resolved that they are satisfied that £2,525,000 is still a reasonable combined valuation of the two 16 Parsons Green flats and that consequently there is no need to commission a further independent valuation to assess the current value.
As noted above, the COVID-19 virus had an operational and financial effect on the charity. The financial impacts were:
-
i. Income was £17,175 below budget. Lost income from delays in letting the upper flat at 16 PG accounts for £7,526, loss of a term’s rent from Sulivan Hall accounts for £6,710, and lost income for the Mission Hall £1,600 and Sulivan Hall £1,026– were all caused by the COVID-19 emergency. Other income was down by £278 because of declining interest rates.
-
ii. Expenses were £6,760 below budget because of some savings in costs at the Mission Hall during lockdown, lower agency fees to S&P while the upper flat was not let and reduced interest payments on the 16 PG mortgage.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks to the charity are a decline in income from letting 16 Parsons Green and delays or overruns in course of the Mission Hall refurbishment work.
The charity carries appropriate insurance to protect against liability claims. The properties are also insured against normal property risks. The charity holds reserves against other risks and uncertainties.
The COVID-19 virus may continue to have an impact on the charity’s operations and revenues in 2021. The following impacts are possible:
-
i. Delays to re-letting the 16 PG flats if either tenant were to give notice (this is not expected)
-
ii. Reduced rental income if the flats have to be re-let iii. Loss of income from Zebedee Nursery School if a further lockdown leads to another closure of nursery schools (the winter 2021 lockdown did not require this).
-
iv. Delays to starting the refurbishment work on the Mission Hall leading to a delay in reopening and consequent loss of letting income. Note: no letting income is expected in 2021 so this would be a risk to income in 2022.

Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
Reserves policy and going concern
The charity maintains reserves for two purposes:
-
To enable the charity to cover regular expenditure in the event of income fluctuating.
-
To enable the charity to pay for maintenance of its properties as and when this is required. Examples of such maintenance in recent years have included the emergency replacement of the drains underneath 16 Parsons Green.
At 31 December 2020, the unrestricted reserves of the charity were £103,223 (2019: £111,652). This equates to approximately 9 months of regular expenditure so is considered an adequate level of reserves for the charity.
The COVID-19 virus had an impact on the charity’s reserves in 2020. As noted in the financial review above, the charity’s income was reduced by the impact of the virus with the effect being somewhat offset by reduced expenditure. The trustees agreed with Charity Bank on 18[th] March 2020 to suspend capital repayments on their loan from the bank for three months to protect the charity’s cash flow and reserves. The charity will draw on reserves to help finance the cost of the Mission Hall refurbishment in 2021. However, the trustees believe that the current level of reserves is sufficient to cover this contingency and that the charity will remain a going concern.
Plans for the future
In 2021 the charity plans to:
-
Complete the refurbishment of the Mission Hall which will include adding a new studio space, replacing the existing heating and lighting, replacing the kitchen, replacing the lift and main staircase, adding additional lavatories and through redecoration. These plans have been delayed by the COVID-19 emergency with the work originally planned to happen in 2020.
-
Make grants of up to £5,000 under the charity’s grant giving policy. These grants will be made to support the mission and ministry of St Dionis Parsons Green in furtherance of the charity’s objects.
Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20 August 2014 and registered as a charity on 21 August 2014.
The company was established under a memorandum of association that established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Appointment of trustees
The Articles of Association require that there shall be at least three and no more than five trustees.
They further require that:
-
The vicar of St Dionis is a trustee ex officio. This trustee is currently Revd. Tim Stilwell and he served throughout 2019.
-
Two trustees are appointed by the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Dionis, Parsons Green (a registered charity with charity number 1132734) by notice in writing to the Charity. The PCC appointed Dr Cheryl Freeman and Mr Mark Younger in 2014. Dr Cheryl Freeman resigned as a trustee on 16th January 2017. The PCC proposed that Mrs Clementine Carswell be appointed as a trustee to replace Dr Freeman and she was appointed as a trustee on 16th January 2017. Mrs Carswell and Mr Younger continued to serve throughout 2020.
-
Ms Laura Brimacombe and Mrs Su Pierson also served as trustees during 2020 having been appointed by the other trustees in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Related parties and relationships with other organisations
The charity’s object is “to further the religious and other charitable purposes of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Dionis, Parsons Green (which is a registered charity - charity number 1132734), for the benefit of the public”. The vicar of St Dionis is a trustee of the charity and the Parochial Church Council of St Dionis has the right to appoint two further trustees.
By a Charity Commission Scheme dated 8[th] September 2015 three charities:
-
Sulivan Ray of Hope Hall (registered number 255175)
-
Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity for Mission Hall (registered number 255176)
-
Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity for the Mission Hall (registered number 255176-1)
were merged into a single charity, the Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Property Trust (registered number 255175), and the Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity was appointed as sole trustee. The Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Property Trust has the same object as the Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity.
In October 2016 the Charity Commission directed that as of 10 October 2016 the charity called Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Property Trust ('the linked charity') shall be treated as forming part of the charity called Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity ('the reporting charity') for the purposes of Part 4 (registration) and Part 8 (accounting) of the Charities Act 2011. This direction takes effect for the whole of the financial year of the reporting charity in which it is made.
The direction will continue:
-
until the Commission makes a further direction to bring the link to an end; or
-
until such time that the charities, no longer have the same trustees or are no longer connected.

For the year ended 31 December 2020
The effect of linking charities for accountancy and registration purposes means that:
-
the charities will be registered under a single registration number;
-
the trustees will be required to prepare a single set of accounts for the reporting charity and the linked charity, within which the individual funds of the linked charity or charities are reported as restricted funds and/or endowment, as appropriate; and
-
where accruals accounts are prepared, the charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) must be used.
The linking of the charities under section 12 is an administrative linkage, for reporting purposes only. It does not change the separate legal status of the charities, or the nature of restricted funds or endowment, and it does not constitute a merger. The trustees are under a duty to ensure that the funds of each charity are still applied solely in accordance with the respective trusts. The charity called Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity has been identified as the reporting charity.
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of Charlotte Antonia Sulivan Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
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 charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
The trustees deem that the free reserves position is sufficient to cover the operations of the charity for the period covering 12 months from signing. For more information of the charity's reserves policy see page 5 of the trustees' annual report.
e) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
f) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
- g) Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
Endowment funds are restricted funds and are physical properties owned and held under permanent endowment of the Property Trust.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in managing its investment properties and portfolio.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of hiring out the two halls for community use, undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
The charity is not VAT registered and VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
i) Allocation of support costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned in relation to the direct costs.
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.
j) Tangible fixed assets
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000, they are recognised at cost or deemed cost. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
-
Freehold and leasehold buildings
-
Building improvements Land is not depreciated.
2% Straight Line
- 10% Straight Line

k) Investment properties
-
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently included in the balance sheet at fair value. Investment properties are not depreciated. Any change in fair value is recognised in the statement of financial activities. The valuation method used to determine fair value will be stated in the notes to the accounts.
l) Listed investments
Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
m) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
- n) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
o) Creditors and liabilities
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
p) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
