## **COUNCIL MEMBERS' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

The members' council present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

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 Charities Act 2011 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 Friends of Southwark Cathedral is a charitable incorporated organisation which was established on 9 December 2014 number 1159545.  It is the successor to the unincorporated Friends of Southwark Cathedral organisation, registered charity number 279515.  It has approximately 700 members. 

The objects of the charity are the furtherance of any religious or other charitable purpose or purposes in connection with Southwark Cathedral and the maintenance repair and beautification of the Cathedral and its fabric and furnishings. 

The charity invites applications from Southwark Cathedral for grants for specific projects which come within its objects. 

Membership is available to anyone who wishes to join and who is committed to supporting the mission and enhancing the fabric of Southwark Cathedral.  Throughout the Cathedral there are various places to collect Friends publicity and different ways in which members can join the organisation:  through the Cathedral website, using an application form in Friends leaflets or via CAFdonate.  Members are able to volunteer to support the charitable work of the Friends more regularly and in doing so will be offered a range of training requirements and opportunities for example safeguarding and first aid.

## **COUNCIL MEMBERS' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **Achievements and performance** 

It was a joy for us to begin 2022 by starting our long awaited pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury Cathedral. As noted in previous years we had hoped to embark on this journey in May 2020 to mark Becket 2020, but it was not to be.  Finally we decided to change the format of our pilgrimage and walk on the third Saturday of each month from January to September taking a stage each month.  We were ably guided by our pilgrimage leaders Mike and Carolyn Lawson and Barbara Moss who took it in turns each month to keep us to the ancient route and encourage us as we steadily moved towards our destination.  It was a huge celebration for us to arrive in Canterbury where we were met by The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral with welcoming refreshments and congratulations. Many friends had been made and more adventures were planned for 2023. 

Other events took place during the year:  a trip to Coventry Cathedral, our regular pop-up café supporting London Open Gardens Day, the Advent Tea and the popular Christmas Soiree at the Deanery. 

We advertise our events widely to ensure they are provided for the public benefit and we welcome anyone who wishes to join the Friends.  Our small focus group continued to meet remotely periodically throughout 2022 addressing various ways to recruit new members. 

The Trustees continue to meet four times each year to discuss the financial management and overall direction of the Friends.  Throughout the year all meetings were held in ‘mixed mode’ with some members at the Cathedral and others using Zoom to attend. 

Several grants were given to the Cathedral most notably £10,000 to enable Luke Jerram’s art installation ‘Gaia’ to come to the Cathedral in October 2022.  The Friends also gave a grant for Christmas trees for the Cathedral.  The usual annual grants for Easter Eggs, flowers for Christmas and Easter and the cost of maintenance for the database were paid as usual. 

During 2022 we received generous legacies from Mavis Fabling (£10,000) and Nancy Dance (£6,000).  These were received without restriction and consequently were placed in the general funds. 

In 2023 we will continue to concentrate our efforts on increasing the profile of the Friends and their online presence in order to enhance our membership numbers.  We remain committed to supporting the Cathedral Chapter in its mission. 

## **Financial review** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained in the current account at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. Any excess is placed in the deposit account.  The members' council consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE MEMBERS' COUNCIL OF THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL** 

I report to the members' council on my examination of the financial statements of The Friends of Southwark Cathedral (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the members' council of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

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 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

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

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

## **THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Friends of Southwark Cathedral is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England number 1159545. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice:  Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainty exists.  The trustees have considered the level of funds held, and the expected levels of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these accounts.  The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are expendable, at the discretion of the members' council in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the members' council for a particular project.  This does not legally restrict the members' council discretion to apply the fund in furtherance of the objects of the charity. 

The designated fund, Friends Foundation Fund, represents funds set aside by the Council to provide annual endowment for the objects of the charity. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the trust deed. 

## **1.4 Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised when they have been communicated, with notification received in writing of both the amount and settlement date.  In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/ executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date.  In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliable measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset has been transferred to the charity. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

## **THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.  All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. 

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award.  The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.  Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

The expenditure on charitable activities includes grants made, governance costs and other support costs as shown in note 6. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

All assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and valued at historical cost.  Depreciation is charged from the year of acquisition on equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of four years. 

Computers 25% on straight line basis 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their market value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.  The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposal throughout the year. 

The charity does not acquire, or use put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.8 Church Workers Pension Fund** 

Friends of Southwark Cathedral (PB 2014) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014 

## **Pension Builder Scheme** 

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. 

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors. 

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. 

There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members’ Normal Pension Age. 

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. 

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2022: £1,391, 2021: £1,390). 

A valuation of the scheme is carried out once every three years. Pension Builder 2014 will be valued in relation to the lump sum payable to members at normal pension age. The most recent scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2019. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. 

## **1.9 Realised gains and losses** 

All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise.  Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year.  Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.  Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **1.10 Contingent liabilities** 

A contingent liability is identified and disclosed for those grants resulting from: 

   - a possible obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the trustees’ control; or 

- a present obligation following a grant offer where settlement is either not considered probable; or 

- the amount has not been communicated in the grant offer and that amount cannot be estimated reliably.
