Trust88s' Report Year ended 31 December 2024
The expertise of the core team will continue to work with the diverse, knowledgeable, and passionate
people in our parishes and deaneries, through campaigning and community engagement, as well as
encouraging, supporting, and advising on parochial and deanery projects and plans that seek to help the
most vulnerable in our society. The team also continue to run a portfolio of projects working with the poor
and homeless, people released from prison, refugees and asylum seekers in Kent and France, victims of
trafficking and slavery, rural communities and those living with disabilities, and community initiatives of
various kinds.
Highlights in 2024 were the official launch of the newly named charity. and subsequent compilation of a
database of supporters, and a new newsletter. Val Wallis, MBE, stepped down as our Chair of Trustees,
and her successor is Revd Carol Smtth.
Connecting Canterbury, one of our 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 to come and
talk to our volunteers at our 2 main hubs, The Hub (Canterbury Baptist Church) on Thursday mornings.
and at All Saints Community Larder at All Saints Church on Fridays. In 2024 we gave £4,700 in 289
payments for emergency energy, this was about £1 ,500 less than 2023 thanks to new systems that have
been put in place requiring identification and limiting the amount that people can receive. These new
systems continue to be responded to favourably by both volunteers and service users, and will hopefully
enable us to allow the money to stretch further. About half of these payments were to new people who had
heard of our service. We were inuedibly grateful for a grant received from Canterbury City Council which
we have been able to use for purchasing energy vouchers, and were able to put the voucher amount up
from £15- £20 from November to February. We have also started to use different vouchers, which mean
that we do not have to give 'cash out, vouchers anymore as all forms of energy payment are covered. The
need for white goodslhousehold items continued to be high in 2024, when we applied for 63 ACTS435
grants in total. Helen Netherton continued the role ofteam lead. There has been an increase in the
number of volunteers, now with 9 working on a rota basis (2 working on the table, and 1 Yloating. each
week). The CCC grant also meant we were able to host a Financial First Aid training course shared with 7
other organisations in Canterbury. Helen continues to work closely with the Diocesan House team and
making contact around the area. It has been an exciting year and we look forward to sharing the
developments as we move on.
Our 'Break the Cycle. project aims to end the cycle of re-offending caused by releasing people from
prison into street homelessness, by means of a partnership project to provide 5UPPOrted housing and
community support and to evaluate the effect this support has on re-offending rates. This project is led by
The Social Justice Network. in partnership with the Diocese of Canterbury, CampaignKent. and others. A
diocesan propety has been made available to the project. A key element of this project is integrating
house residents into the local community to build their self-confidence and improve their mental health and
well-being. In 2024 two residents moved successfully into loGal aLrthority accommodation. We updated
our criteria and referral pack and expanded our search for referrals to a national level (previously locally
focussed within East Kent). Residents of Break the Cycle's home were keen to establish more links with
the local community. to break down stigma, build relationships and improve mental health and wellbeing for
both those in the project and in the local area, by volunteering at the local community centre and food
pantry twice per week. a weekly community Curry Club was attended by those in the project, to establish
local connections,. funding was secured from local councillor for'Grub & Games, night, to be hosted by the
house residents in the games room. for their neighbours and men from Curry Club.

Our Kent Refugee Programmes successfully raised £90,000 viith the Benefact Trust to support and
extend our work for 3 years. Casework brought an increased workload of supporting asylum seeking
families with school placements, Benefit System, Referral to Citizens, Advice Bureau and other agencies.
Accommodation was secured for 3 male refugees and 1 refugee family. We undertook interfaith work in
Greece at a 'World of Neighbours, Summit, with a team of practitioners from across Europe.
There was an interactive exhibition in Canterbury Cathedral Chapter House during Refugee Week,
organised and devised by the Refugee Project Board including Kent Refugee Action Ne￿Ork. the Social
Justice Network of the Diocese and Cathedral. and focussing on the plight of refugee5. Visitors were
invited to explore what'home, means to them and to those who have had to leave their own homes
because of war, violence, oppression and climate change., to experience how they have come to Greate a
new home here in Canterbury, and the cultural richness that they have brought with them. The week also
focussed on safe and legal routes advocacy and strategic work to implement migration policies oriented
towards global resettlement needs. Our refugee manager also advocated for Community Sponsorship and
Devolved Integration Support to churches, managed a part time Ukraine Link Officer and a team of 8
Volunteers.
In 2024 The Social Justice Ne￿Ork also provided a Chaplaincy service at the Kent County Show and
'Fruit Focus. at the Kent County Showground. Next year we plan a Sunday service at the Kent Show
and to use a small marquee with the Farming Communty Ne￿rt<. We also built partnerships with the
Action on Povety Working Group, working with multiple agencies across the Canterbury District to share
ideas. resources, signposting, ensuring coverage, and supporting different community groups. We are
also partnered with Margate Explorer Sea Scouts in volunteer opportunities, Folkestone Rainbow Centre,
and national organisations, such as Safe Families for Children.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the year
Total income increased from £182,515 in 2023 to £223,760 in 2024. Total expenditure increased from
£192,248 in 2023 to £219,214 in 2024.
RESERVES POLICY
The level of resetves as at 31 December 2024 is suffiGient to meet short term planned expenditure. At the
end of 2024 the unrestricted (free) reserves were negative £2,075. Restricted reserves were £136,321. The
reserves policy is to hold sufficient reserves (including restrrcted reserves) to meet three months expenditure
and allow projects to be run-down in a smooth manner if future income is unlikely. The level of reserves is in
line with the policy for restricted funds. The level of unrestricted funds had fallen below the required level
due to delay in receiving £50,000 of unrestricted funds but had been received in early 2025.
GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption 15 appropriate in preparing
these financial statements. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from
the date of approval of these financial statements.
The Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that
may cast signrficant doubt on the abilty of the charitable company to continue as a going concem. In view of
negative unrestricted reserves at year end, the Trustees had sought assurance from the parent charity that
there will be further support provided should there be further delays in receiving unrestricted funds. This
assurance has now been given. Therefore, the Trustees are of the opinion that the charttable company will
have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and for this reason the Trustees continue to
prepare the financial statements on a going concem basis.

Independent auditor's report 31 December 2024
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set OLrt on page 7, the trustees (who are also
the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation
of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal
control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or e￿or.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or
to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or e￿or, and to issue an auditor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, induding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are ¢apable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows..
the audit partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence.
capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-complianGe with applicable laws and regulations;
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with management
and from our knowledge and experience.,
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we Gonsidered may have a direct material effect on
the financial ststements or the operations of the company. including the Charities Act 2011, Companies
Act 2006.
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of management., and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularty and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We a55essed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement,
including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
The Social Justice Network Limited 10

Ind¢pendent auditor's report 31 December 2024
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
making enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to where they considered
there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we=
tested journal entries to identify unusual financial transartion5',
tested the authorisation of expenditure as part of our substantive testing.,
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual financial transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed
procedures which included, but were not limited to-
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 governance as to actual and potential litigation and
claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-com pliance.
Auditing standards also lim it the audit procedures required to identify non-¢om plian¢e with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence,
if any.
Material misststements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they
may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds comprise those monies which may be used towards meeting the
charitable objectives of the Gharity and may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds are monies raised for, and their use restricted to, a specific purpose, or
donations subject to donor-imposed conditions.
Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is
appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this
assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial
statements.
The Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charitable company to
continue as a going Concern. The Trustees are of the opinion that the charitable company
will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and for this reason the
Twstees continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Although the level of unrestricted funds had fallen below the required level at the end of
2024, the trustees are Confident that additional funds will be obtsined to improve this
position in 2025.
