**THE GRAND PRIORY OF BLESSED ADRIAN FORTESCUE OF THE ORDER OF MALTA TRUST**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 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 Charity's objects are:
a. The advancement of the Roman Catholic Religion;
- b. The advancement of any charitable purposes supported by the Order in any part of the world;
c. The relief of poverty and the advancement of health anywhere in the world;
In carrying out its objects the charity should not be involved in or support any activity which is contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.
The main objectives for the period were to:
a) Administer the religious activities of the Charity;
b) Raise funds towards the running costs of the Charity;
c) Manage outgoings in relation to the budget in order to provide a basis for financial planning.
## **Public benefit**
In setting these objective the trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit
## **Grantmaking**
The Charity continues to make grants to activities that support its aims. In particular, an annual donation is given towards a small chapel where the Charity undertakes its activities. The Charity has also commissioned and is publishing works that fulfil its charitable objectives as well as running events in support of these objectives throughout England and Wales.
The charity does not solicit or accept applications for grant funding.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Charity was registered on the 10th July 2015 and activities commenced on 1st January 2016.
The Charity continues in its purposes by organising regular religious events and activities throughout the period. These comprise Roman Catholic religious services, spiritual formation, and theological education. These are generally advertised and open to the public.
In September 2021 the Charity took out a lease on a basement at 23 Golden Square, London (just behind to the church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory), which is has converted into office space and a chapel. This property is in effect the headquarters of the Charity and is used to enable members as well as members of the public to get together and for functions. It also contains the library of the Charity which is available for use by those that request access.
Small grants have been made to partners and beneficiaries to further the purposes of the charity. Previously the Charity has engaged in fundraising for individual projects.
The Charity regularly corresponds with members and affiliated persons, with religious content and information about events. The Charity communicates with the public online through social media and a blog. A website has been built - orderofmalta.co.uk
The publishing of the Charity is now well known and books are sold throughout the world - particularly in the USA. More books of a spiritual nature are being planned.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
A summary of the result for the period is given on the SOFA, Balance Sheet and corresponding notes.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The Trustees consider that specialised investments designed for Roman Catholic charities best meet the Charity's need for income and capital growth. In making investment decisions, regard is had to the charitable objectives.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have established a reserve policy whereby unrestricted funds (free reserves) will be maintained at levels which allow the Trustees to support the maximum number of charitable projects through interest and capital growth. The current level of general reserves stands at £672,540.
The Trustees consider that reserves should be maintained at a level that produces sufficient income to allow the cash balance of the charity to remain at a level equal to the total annual outgoings. To this end, the Trustees will continue to increase the reserves of the charity where possible.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
In future periods, the directors will build up the activities, public presence, and resources of the Charity so as to continue to fulfil its aims and objectives.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity was established under a Memorandum of Association on 10th July 2015 which established the objects and powers of the charity, and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the charity being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The Directors of the Company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Company's Articles are responsible for the management of the business of the Company. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association each Trustee/Director shall serve for a term not exceeding six years and is eligible for re-election.
Persons who have expertise in financial management and investment, and who have shown an interest in and sympathy with the aims of the Charity may from time to time be invited to join the Board.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
New Trustees would first have a meeting with the Grand Prior/Chairman who would explain the history and aims of the Charity. This would be followed by an explanation of the governance of the Charity, the latest reports and accounts, and the investment policy.
## **Related parties**
The charity constitutes an autonomous part of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta ('the Order of Malta'), with its headquarters at Magistral Palace, Via Condotti, 68, Rome, Italy. The charity collaborates from time to time with other organs and constituent parts of the Order of Malta in the United Kingdom and worldwide.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GRAND PRIORY OF BLESSED ADRIAN FORTESCUE OF THE ORDER OF MALTA TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Grand Priory Of Blessed Adrian Fortescue Of The Order Of Malta Trust ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern**
The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£).
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets:
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
## **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.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
- Improvements to property in accordance with the property Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost
## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Debtors**
Debtors are initially recognised at their settlement amount and subsequently at amortised cost of their recoverable amount. Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence, such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default of a significant delay in payment, that the charity will be unable to collect all of the amounts due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Taxation**
## **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash, current bank accounts and deposit bank accounts with no withdrawal limitations.
## **Creditor**
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are initially recognised at fair value, being the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt, and subsequently at amortised cost.
## **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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
