ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Review of activities Connecling Canlerbury. one of SJN'S projects, offers signposting, support and help to those in need. There has been a huge increase in need. and where possible, we encourage people and families lo come and talk lo our volunteers al our 2 main hubs, Lilly's Cafe Icanlerbury Baptist Church) on Thursday mornings, and al All Saints Church on Fridays. In 2023 we gave £6155 in 1740 payments for emergency energy, this was about £3000 less than 2022 thanks lo new systems that have been pul in place requiring idenlificalion and limiting the amount that people can receive. These new systems have been responded to favourably by both volunteers and service users, and will hopefully enable us lo allow the money lo stretch further. The need for while goodslhousehold items was significantly higher in 2023, we applied for 88 ACTS435 grants. and had lo stop taking requests for 2 months (April and October) due lo a large wailing list. Helen Nelherton took the role of team lead in March 2023. Since then she has spoken at a number of churches and other groups. raising awareness of the charity and building connections. There has been an increase in the number of volunteers, now with 8 working on a rota basis12 working on the table, and 1 'floaling' each weekl. As we enter a new year we have been working closer with the communications team at Diocesan House and we are starting to think about how we can grow and offer additional services. Il's been an exciting year and I look foNard lo sharing the developments as we move on. The Social Justice Network 2

Independent auditorfs report 31 Dec8mb8r 2023 Responsibilities of Trustees As explailled more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities staternenl set out on page five. the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitsble company for the purpos85 of cornpany lawl are SPOnsIble for the preparation of the financial stateTnents and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trusle85 determine is necessary to enable the preparation ol firEancial 5tat8ments that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 8rror. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability lo continue as a going concem. disclosing, as applicable, rnatters related lo going conc8rn and using the going concern basis of accounbng unless the Trustees etther int8nd to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have no 811811C 8lt8rn8tlV8 but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial stalernenls as whole 8re fre8 from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue a auditor's reptsrt that includes OLJr opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted In accordarice with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misslatemenl when it exists. Misstatements can arise from frauis or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could aSonablY be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fi'nancia1 siatements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complianc8 with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect ol irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedu$ are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Our approach to identfying and assÈs5ing th8 risks of mat8ri81 misstaternent in rèspect of irregularities, including fraud and non-eomplianee with laws and reguSations, was as folltswg.. the audit partner ensured that the engagement ieam collectively had the appropriate ompgtence, capabilities and skills io identify or recognise non-cornpliance with applicable laws 8nd regulations.. we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the company through discussions with management and from our knowledge and experiencè", we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Ch8ritl&s Act 2011. Companies Act 2006. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management", and id8ntifièd laws and regulations were cornrnunicated within the audit tearn regularfy and the team remained alert lo instances of non-wmpliance trroughout the audit. The Social Justice NeOrk 8
Independent auditorfs report 31 D8C8mb8T 2023 Auditor's responsibilit185 for the audit of the financial staternents Icontinuedl We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company'5 financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. rn8king enquiries of management and those charged with governance as lo where they considered there was su5oeplibility to fraud. their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-complian th laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we.. tested joum818ntri85 to identify Ljnusual financial tr8nsactions'. tested the authorisalion of expenditure as part ol our substantive tesiing., investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual financial transactions. In response lo the risk ol irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed procedures which included, but were not limited lo.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation,. reading the Minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., enquiring of management and those charged with govemance as to actual and potential liligation and claims. Ther8 ar8 inh8r8nt limitations in our audit procedLJres described 8bove. The rnore r8moved that laws and regulations are from financi81 tran58Ctions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-cornpliance. Auditing standards also lirHit the audit procedures requir8d to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry ol the directors and other management and the inspeciion ol regulatory and legal corresponden, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder (o delecl than those thal arise frorn error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our Tesponsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financi81 Reporting Council's website 8t www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities.
