Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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

Objectives and aims

The objectives of the Charity are the support of such charitable purposes connected with the Cathedral and the Chapter of Peterborough Cathedral, and the support of such other charitable purposes or charitable foundations as the Trustees, being not less than seven in number, shall from time to time by deed executed with their unanimous consent declare.

Fundraising

The sole purpose of the Trust is to raise funds to support the work and ministry of the Cathedral and to preserve, maintain and improve its fabric and facilities. It does so through encouraging membership of the Company of St Peter; direct fundraising though grants, donations, legacies and fundraising events. The Trust also encourages businesses to join the Corporate Partnership.

Income received may be restricted for use on a project or purpose specified by the donor. Such income is classified as restricted and must be used for the project purpose. Income may be paid directly to the Chapter in accordance with the terms of the grant donation. Otherwise funds are transferred from time to time for the use at the discretion of the Chapter in furtherance of objectives of the Trust. A small balance is retained to cover fundraising costs.

Volunteers

The Trust is indebted to the hard work and commitment of all Trustees and other volunteers in supporting its work. In addition, the hard work of the Chapter staff in supporting and sustaining the work of the Trust was highly valued.

Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Achievement and performance

In response to a difficult year caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust refocused resources on generating grant income. This successful short term strategy resulted in increased year on year income of 28%. We are extremely grateful to Dawn Caplin (CEO) who despite the unprecedented challenge, demonstrated true leadership, applied her knowledge, her skills and then exceeded our expectations.

The generosity of the Company of St Peter (now transitioned to Cathedral Keys) supports the routine work of the Cathedral contributing £35,000 towards the cost of ministry, maintaining its fabric, providing Choral Music throughout the year and the cost of Lay clerks.

The Trust is very grateful to all those grant making trusts and individuals who have supported and continue to support this iconic building in the heart of Peterborough City Centre.

We are also very grateful of all the support we receive from volunteers, Trustees and Vice Presidents.

Financial review

Financial position

The Trust uses Xero accounting software that generates a range of reports. Our bank accounts data feeds into Xero which provides management and trustees with real time financial information. Our access to information has been further enhanced since we converted to internet banking.

Total income for the financial year was £171,135 remarkably higher than the previous year income. Even navigating through the pandemic, we still managed to increase our income. the Trust also secured £250,000 from the Heritage Emergency fund for operating costs that were passed directly to the cathedral.

The increase in income was mainly due to successful grant applications. Our future fundraising strategy will re-focus on regular monthly giving, through membership schemes, corporate engagement, core funding grants through trusts and other philanthropy.

The Trust approved and paid out £99,958 in restricted funds and £13,545 unrestricted in support of music, fabric, mission and operational costs.

Reserves policy

It is the intention of the Trustees to maintain 9 months unrestricted income for operational costs in order to cover ongoing costs, and that normally 10% of all donations received are allocated to the cost of generating income and support costs of the Charity.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Future plans

In 2020/21 the Trust will build its Cathedral Keys Membership enabling the Cathedral access to unrestricted income in support of Chapters operating costs.

We have been working on the new Cathedral shop project and hope to see a newly installed shop December 2021.

Laurel Court viability study, which the Trust secured funding from AHF, will be completed by March 2022.

We will seek funding from corporates, trusts and members for a number of sustainability projects that the Chapter have identified, enabling the Cathedral to generate regular income that will cover operating costs and maintenance.

It costs £1.5 million per year to operate the Cathedral or £4,200 per day. The Cathedral depends on donations, events and commercial activity to cover its costs.

The Trust will be seeking funding for a number of capital projects, mainly Green Spaces project to improve the precincts for visitors, a new Handyman's workshop, outside lighting and new up lighting in the Cathedral, and a number of repairs and improvements as suggested in the latest quinquennial report.

Structure, governance and management

The Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and was registered with the Charity Commissioners on 29 December 2014.

The Trustees are responsible for the sound management of the Charity and are responsible for the appointment of new Trustees. Trustees must number a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 25. All Trustees are appointed for a three-year term and when making appointments Trustees have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the Charity. All Trustees are members of the Charity and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of winding up.

In addition to appointed Trustees, the Dean of Peterborough cathedral is automatically a Charity Trustee.

The Executive Committee also have powers to appoint not more than three charity trustees for a fixed term of office.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The address of the principle office is Cathedral Office, Minister Precincts, Peterborough, PE1 1XS.

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Given the straightforward operations and financial position of the charity, there are not considered to be any key sources of judgement or estimation uncertainty within these financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
