SARUM COLLEGE (A company limited by guarantee TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 Objectives and Actlvllles, Achievements and Performance, and Future Plans a. Policies and objectives Object of the Charity Under the Memorandum of Association dated 25th March 2015 the objects of the Charity and the group are to advance the Christian religion and to advance theological education, training, formation and spiritual gr0h, including (but without limilation) by the provision and maintenance of a college. The Charity achieves these objectives through: the establishment of accredited and non-accrediled educational programmes, supported by a library; the provision of hospf(ality facilities to its students.. the provision of licensed office space to other charities wtth charitable objects in sympathy wrth its own, specifically the RSCM (Royal School of Church Music) and the Diocese of Salisbury,. and, maintsining the Grade 1 listed building. Aims of Sarum's Educational Programme Sarum College slrives lo be a centre for academic excellence, particularty as a leading provider of theological learning, where students are motivated and empowered to make a Iransfomiing contribution to society. The academic work offers a range of learning opportunities, including both accredited and shorter courses. The College avails of a wide neOrk of visiting lecturers and visiting scholars who are able to help make our learning offer both diverse and wide-reaching in depth and breadth. Sarum College orients itself toward ouard-loOkIng and interdisciplinary work, including areas of learning that we provide or host which would nomially sit outside of the traditional curriculum at other inslilutions. The College's mission is fulfilled when its students come away from their time at Sarum College spiritually nourished and academically equipped. The students witness to Ihis spiritual nourishment through lives marked by wisdorn and courage. The Library and hospitality seryices support these educational aims and provide facililies to further the aims to others beyond the student body. In order to advance these aims and outcomes, the College has set three main objectives which are investigated further below. 1. To malntaln a posltlve cash Ilow year on year and to bulld sufflclent working capltal for the buslnes$. The objectives for 2024-25 were to improve the marketing reach in particular relating to the attraction of groups staying at the college., and to develop the MA in Christian Spirilualty to address the changes in the education market. Trustees recognise that making a small surplus on the unrestricted fund year by year, and particularly the deficrt of some £80k last financial year will not sustain the future of the College. In consequence of this they commissioned an external review of the charity in the autumn of 2024. That review led to five strategic aims: to reimagine the story of Sarum College and articulate rts distinctiveness as a Chnstian Foundation.. to continue to develop a regional 'learning hub. resourcing the innovative formation of ministry and ongoing education of Christian Discipleship., to build relationships with Salisbury Cathedral and City partners- to address staff roles and pursuiis in order to align them wrth the purposes of the College. and to develop a plan for the refurbishment and development of the buiklings and facilities. These objectives will feed into the stated objectives for 2025-26. Planning for education has proven more difficult to predict this Side of the pandemic as the market for theological Page 6
SARUM COLLEGE {A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 Objectives and Activities, Achievements and Performance, and Future Plans lcontlnued) education changes. Student numbers for Ministry at Sarum have increased and in the case of Local Lay Ministry training expanded to new dioceses. Student recrurtment to the Course in Spiritual Direction has been stable. Recruttmenl to MA and shorter courses have been more variable. One response to this has been the expansion of partnerships. As examples 2024 was the first year in which Sarum trained Local Lay Ministers from the Winchester diocese, and the College worked wrth the Diocese of Birmingham to provide education to their Oversight Areas. The sustainability of Ihe short course programme has been strenglhened by agreements with neighbouring Dioceses and the Methodist Church to block book places for some courses. and the partnership with Church Times in running the online Modern Mystics programme. The investrnent in IT continued to enabled students and lecturers lo attend remotely and another response to the changing market has been lo change the mix of on-site and online courses to provide a wider variety of options to students and seek to better serve their needs. The market for Hospitality is also unpredictable. Some long-standing groups continue to come but with lower numbers, but new groups have also been attracted, often by word of mouth. The College continues lo seNe our own students and external groups, and supplement income with Online Travel Agents particularly during the tourist season. The reputation of Sarum for hospitality has led to additional groups including those based on singing and an additional Methodist pilgrimage from Ihe US. Social media continued to play a key role in the development of new markets as platforms such as Facebook are able to reach audiences fluidly and quickly. The College website continues assist the promotion of education programmes coupled with a more efficient booking System. A5 a result of a number of initiatives the College has a greater profile in Ihe region including across regional diocese and other Christian denominations including the Methodist, Baplist, United Reformed Church and Salvation Army. There have been a number of fundraising initiatives including applications to grant making trusts which are reported under the Financial Review section of this report. There has been a strengthening of financial policies and procedures with an increase in transparency and shared responsibility across the College Leadership Team. A combination of development of the learning offer, expansion of partnerships, focus on the quality of the hospilality product and cost control contributed to reversing a deficit on the unrestricted fund of over £80,000 in the previous financial year to a surplus of over £50,000 in the reporting year. The objectives for 2025-26 are.. to restructure the College Leadership Team, creating the new role of Chief Operating Officer to be responsible for the business management and financial affairs of the College- to articulate who are the College's core partners and key targets for learning and to agree and develop core images and messages that represent and Teflect the learning offer., to develop the website to improve communication of the offer to target markets- and to continue to develop IT resources and financial processes for enhanced efficiency. 2. Provlding a range of educational programmes that nourish the human spirit. The objectives for 2024-25 were to gather regional Diocesan Bishops with Directors of Ministry to pursue developing the educalion offer in partnership expansion of the Centre for Fomiation in Ministry lo include ordinands from the Diocese of Winchester and Portsmouth consolidation of the partnership agreements with neighbouring diocese and the Methodist Church to provide CMD. At the start of the pandemic the College worked quickly to transfer education online and develop the curriculum at the start of the pandemic. Some existing Courses such as Exploring Theology have expanded through being taught online. Recruitment increased as people attended from their homes and numbers have been sustained. In general the geographic spread of recruitment increased e.g. to diocese that are further afield. The provision of courses online has also enabled more overseas students to benefit from S3rum's educ8tion81 programmes. Page 7
SARUM COLLEGE (A company limited by guarante•> TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 Objectives and Activities, Achievements and Performance, and Fulure Plans (continuedl The Gurriculum itself is always being adapted to respond to new circumstance5. We have been adapting delivery methods, developing and enhancing pedagogical methods to address various learning needs and modes, and refreshing curriculum content lo reflect the world in which we now live. We have undergone significant effort to divefsfy our curriculum in relation to race, economic status, nationality. class, and disability in order to reflect Ihe ever-increasing range of voices wrthin the area of theological scholarship. In the previous year Sarum College Ministry received validation from the University of Durham and the Church of England lo enable Sarum College to become a Theological Education Institution (TEI). This has provided a platfomi for the MA in Christian Spirituality to start the process of transferring validation to University of Durham. Regrettably recruitment lo the MA in Theology. Imagination and Culture in autumn 2024 was not strong enough to continue the course and the decision was made to close the course to new students. New educalional partnerships which emerged in previous years continue to be developed and expanded. In January 2025 there was a gathering of regional Diocesan Bishops with Directors of Ministry to pursue Ihe development of the educational partnerships. Regional Diocesan Bishops committed lo supporting Sarum College through sending ordinands for training and also training of Licenced Lay Minister and Readers. The generosity of grants has enabled Sarum to support regional diocese through some sponsorship of independent students through bursaries. Ministry at Sawm expanded to training ordinands from the Dioceses of Winchester and Portsmouth. We have had an agreement with the Diocese of Salisbury lo offer a number of continuing ministry developmenl (CMDI courses each year, and we have expanded this model with other Diocese including Bristol and Portsmouth and the Methodist Church. An agreement with St Padarn's Institute in Cardiff has enabled a cohort of students lo study for the Course in Spiritual Direction through the Church in Wales. We also are targeling work wrth international partnerships in North America and Europe to expand our reach and reputation as a centre for academic excellence. With respect lo inclusion of the student voice in the oversight of academic developmenl. the tenns of reference of the Board of Studies have been updated lo include student representatipn of Ministry al Sarum and MAS validated by the University of Winchester and their contributions reported lo Trustees. Dr Jayme Reaves, succeeded by Revd Paul Burden have led on the development of a more cohesive academic faculty with improved policies and procedures all focused on improving the student experience. There ar8 currently 40 students studying on the MA in Christian Spirituality or the MA in Theology, Imagination & Culture. Subject lo the final exam board 13 will graduate.. 1 student will graduale with a PG Cert with distinction., 1 student will graduate with a PG Dip,. 4 students will graduate with an MA and merit., and 7 will graduate with an MA and distinction. With respect lo the students on Sarum College Ministry programmes, theie were 73 students registered on the Common Awards (University of Durham) in Theology. Ministry and Mission Pathways in the 2024 - 2025 academic year and another 4 taking formational palhways that are not accredited. 77 students in all. This included 36 studenls training for Licensed Lay Ministry, 39 Qrdinands and 2 independent students. Of the students who completed their Studies with the University of Durham, 1 completed a Foundation Award, 11 completed HE Certfficate {120), 5 completed the HE Certificate {180), 6 completed the Higher Education Diploma, 3 completed a Post Graduate Certificate and 5 completed an MA in Theology for Ministry and Mission. All students except one who started the course with a view to completing this year completed academic studies on schedule. The education programme continued lo flourish through- the College's excellent relationships with Winchester Universty and Durham University- its ability to retain and attract the best quality teaching staff,. and the maintenance of the Library as a high-standard learning resource. In addition to the students on accredited programmes, the college also ran a varied programme of short courses. Page 8

Providing a level of welcome and hospitallty wlth conslstently hlgh standards of accommodation and Catering. Hospilality is provided in four sectors.. for our own students, studwng on validated programmes and lifelong leaming courses. for conferences and training events that fall within our charitable purpose., for conference and room hire for the general public.. and for bed and breakfast accommodation for the general public. The objectives for 2024-25 were to refurbish a room to provide a second ground floor accessible bedroom.. to continue the refurbishment programme of bedrooms., and to complete planned works lo the building to ensure health and safèty compliance. Under the leadership of Mr Gary Grfford. Director of Hospitality the hospitality aspects of the College have grown during the reporting year, exceeding income and occupancy levels attained before the pandernic. The new Conference Room and accessible bedroom on the ground floor have proven popular. Further work has been done to decorale some corridors and upgrade some bedrooms. The main boilers were refurbished and a second accessible bedroom was created on the ground floor along side routine wort( to keep on top of the day-to4ay maintenance of the building. The challenge continues lo be generating enough monies lo fund needs and aspiralions in relation to the building. The IT system which enables guests to book and pay online and a new website dedicated to promoting the Hospitality function has proven to be a good foundation for developing the business. The charity and the group is grateful for the generous efforts of its volunteers. The College began lo use volunteers again in the reporting year and it is estimated that over 2000 volunteer hours were provided. mainly in the library. If this is conservatively valued at £12.25 an hour the volunteer effort amounls to over £24,500. The objectives for 2025-26 are to complete the essential maintenance to the outside of the building- to upgrade Ihe en-suite shower rooms of the Wren attic bedrooms., to continue the process of painting the downstairs corridors and refurbish the Refectory: and to refurbish the Cavell Room and improve signage around the College.

SARUM COLLEGE (A company limited by 9uarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 Objectives and Activities, Achievements and Performance, and Future Plans (continued) Public Benefit The trustees have regard to the Charily Commission's guidance on public benefit. The College offers a wide range of courses in pursuit of its Charitable objectives and these are all reasonably priced and open to all. The short courses give opportunities for individuals to benefit from the College's educational activities for a modest outlay. The fees for degree courses are wilhin the normal range for taught mastels courses. The College also offers facilities for other groups and organisations with cognate objectives. as referred to in the paragraph on hospitality, al reasonable charges. Individuals who wish to use the College's significant library but are not undertaking a course at the College may do so lor a small annual charge. Individual requests for financial discounts are considered on a case by case basis. Factors outside our control A number of 'strategic factors, have a continuing bearing on the activities of the College.. The continuing effect of the pandemic had a major impact on the College during the year. The general financial climate continues to have an adverse effect on some activities which are dependent on discretionary spending. and where Commercial competition is vigorous. The perennial unknown la¢tors are predicting accurate numbers for bed and breakfast and conferences alongside anticipating student number recruitment to education programmes. Many of our key stakeholders in the faith sector are themselves under financial pressure, and their willingness to fund Sarum College is unlikely lo improve in the coming years. Sarum College can offer leadership in exploring, with these partners, ways of adapting and evolving to cope with the changed circumslances. Page 10

Irregularities, including fraud, are inslances 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, including fraud.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial stal•menls to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 'making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceplibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and •considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non4ompliance with laws and regulations. To addres$ the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we.. 'performed ana1ical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpecled relationships., .tested joumal entries to idenlify unusual transactions., 'assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias., and 'investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

Income is shown net of VAT. The re¢ognilion of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor Is satisfied Ihat the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the.fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount lo be distributed to the Charity. can be reliably measured. Grants are included in the Consolidated statement of financial activities on a recelvable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes bul not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt. its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income 15 received. the income is accrued. Where Ihe donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure Ihis reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Charity's accounting policies. On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of Ihe gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefil on the open market,. a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donalions received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in felation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 2.4 Expenditure Expendrture is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, rt 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 Classified by activity- The costs of each actiwty are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support cost5 involved in undertaking each activity. Direct cost5 attributable to a single activity are allocated directly lo that activity. Shared costs which contribute lo more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned behveen those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation Charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non<harilable trading. Expendilure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Page 26

Other grants that are nol subject to perfomance-relaled conditions are credited to the Consolidated statement of financial activities as the grant proceeds are received. Granls received prior lo the revenue recognition criteria being satisfied are recognised as a liability. 2.6 Interest recelvable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group.. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.7 Tanglble fixed assets and depreclatlon Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition. under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, All ¢osts incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, Depreciation is provided on the following bases.. Freehold property other fixed assets 20/ts per annum on cost 40/0 to 33 113Q/• per annum on cost 2.8 Heritage assets Heritage assets are not capitalised due to unavailability of cost or valuation infomiation, with such information not being obtainable at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the Charity, As a result, no value is attributed lo heritage assets in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation is provided on the following bases.. 2.9 Investments Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised al their Iransaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheel date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses. whether realised or unrealised. are combined and presented as 'Gainsl(Losses) on investments. in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted al the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidaled stalemenl of financial activities as a finance cost. 2.14 Flnanclal Instruments The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instrument5 are inilialty recognised at transaction value and subsequenlly measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.15 Pensions The charity operates a defined Contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. The charity operates a defined benefits pension scheme and the pension charge is based on a full actuarial valuation dated 31 December 2016. The charty operates a defined benefits pension scheme.
