Wintershall CIO

Chairman’s Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

Introduction and Background

Wintershall CIO's aim is to advance the Christian faith by sharing its message with those of all faiths and none, in particular through the presentation of high-quality drama and an Education outreach programme in schools and at Wintershall.

Started in 1989 by Peter and Ann Hutley following a profound Christian experience, Nativity plays written and produced by Peter were staged at their beautiful estate at Wintershall in Surrey. A Passion play followed, and then for the millennium Peter wrote the Life of Christ, an epic production that follows the biblical story of Jesus from birth to resurrection. In 2010 the Passion of Jesus was staged in Trafalgar Square on Good Friday and has now become an annual fixture. Whilst the Nativity and the Life of Christ are largely funded through ticket sales, the Passion of Jesus is free to all, a gift to the people of London and is funded through donations and grants.

Peter's daughter, Charlotte de Klee, took over the production of the plays and in 2014 Wintershall CIO was formed with an ecumenical body of Trustees to support the family in raising funds, extending outreach and implementing more structured governance.

In 2016 an Education programme for schools was developed, offering free online resources, tailored retreats and workshops at Wintershall or at school sites with actors attending school assemblies to bring the Bible stories to life.

Peter Hutley died on the 17th of November 2023; the Trustees are committed to continuing his work.

Activities for the year to September 2024

The Nativity Journey (Wintershall) - December 2023

The Nativity Journey was a great success with mostly mild weather and many new audience members who found the Nativity through our social media advert campaign. As before, the first scene was performed at the bottom of the hill to Holly Barn and the audience then followed Mary, Joseph and the donkey up the hill. Country Living attended to prepare a feature for the Nativity to be published in December 2024. Increased numbers of school children came to watch during special school’s performances that were added to the run – 897 (2022: 569). 3,575 people in total attended the performances (2022: 3,000).

The Passion of Jesus (Trafalgar Square) - March 2024

This iconic play brings the Easter story about Jesus’ death on the Cross to thousands of people, for free, in the heart of our capital city, powerfully communicating the Christian message. The Archbishop of Westminster, the Bishop of London and Bishop Jo Bailey-Wells offered prayers to the audience. Soul Sanctuary Choir sang one hymn before the first performance offering a short time for reflection and preparation before the performance.

Peter Bergin played the role of Jesus for the 2[nd] year and the performances were very well received by the audience.

The Square was closed on a few occasions during the performances due to the size of the crowd who had come to watch, which was estimated to be over 20,000 people for both performances. The performances were also live streamed on Facebook (reached 60,500 people) and were added to YouTube afterwards (viewed by 9,000 people since uploading). We received messages of thanks from around the globe for this unique free event.

We continue to work with a committee of London Churches to promote the event and recruit more cast members from London.

The Life of Christ (Wintershall) - June 2024

The weather was kind and 5,060 people returned to this beautiful estate to witness the re-enactment of Jesus’ life (2023: 4,814), this included 3,560 school children (2023: 3,227). The audience comments afterwards were overwhelmingly positive. Coach costs for school trips have gone up significantly and our Bursary fund helped many schools to come and see this unforgettable play.

Education Programme

The Life of Christ play remains at the heart of the Wintershall Education programme, with all resources and materials stemming from this educational experience. The Education pages on the Wintershall website are packed full of materials and ideas to complement a visit to the play.

The Wintershall Education Working Group continues to develop and involves representatives from Roman Catholic, Church of England Diocesan Education Boards and Local Education Authorities, RE Coordinators, Specialist school leaders, clergy, Wintershall CIO and Education, as well as actors. This group is essential to ensuring Wintershall Education’s programme and resource development meet national as well as local education priorities.

The Education programme offers retreats onsite at Wintershall for students and teachers, using drama, the creative arts and the beautiful surrounding countryside, to reflect on the Christian story. We have run themed days for whole staff groups, Year 6 Leavers and both secondary and primary classes over the year. Actors also go out to visit schools to run assemblies and workshops. The Education team provide online resources including a series of assembly pieces that can be used by both schools and families at home. During the academic year 2023-2024 the Education programme reached 22,850 children and teachers (2022-23: 21,732).

A Travelling Crib was developed for 2020 to provide Advent workshops in school playing fields and this has become an annual event. Children visit 5 stations on their journey to Bethlehem encountering Mary, Zechariah, a Wise Man, a Shepherd with his sheep and the Donkey. Children are each given a pilgrim bag with materials reminding them of each stage of their journey. As well as visiting schools across the South East, Wintershall again brought the Travelling Crib to Lambeth Palace gardens for a week allowing the Charity to reach inner London schools many of whom do not have playgrounds or playing fields available for us to visit. A ‘Sponsor a School’ campaign provided funding for disadvantaged schools to attend. This season (2023) we reached 4,262 school children (2022: 4,763).

We are grateful for the support from funders for the furtherance of this work that brings the word of God alive for so many school children and for allowing us to support schools that would otherwise struggle financially to cover the cost of a visit. Our Education programme continues to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and teachers.

Bible Society Partnership

We are very thankful for our partnership with the Bible Society. As well as the strong alignment of our mission goals, the Bible Society have provided direct financial support to us. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the Society in the year ahead.

Our cast and other volunteers

None of our work could be done without our amazing cast of volunteer actors, those who work back stage and those who volunteer in other ways such as greeting and assisting children and adults, helping with the care of the animals and handling other logistics. They give of their time and talent in hours of rehearsals and training followed by the events themselves, performing in all weathers. They deliver a result that is professional and entertaining, delighting our audiences and bringing the word of God alive. Without them there is no Wintershall.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 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 objective of the charity is to advance the Christian religion by sharing its message with those of all faiths and none, in particular, through the presentation of high quality drama.

Financial Report 2024

Overall, the Charity reported a deficit of £88,870 in the year to 30th September 2024 (2023: surplus of £78,035). This was due to donations and income from productions not covering the Charity’s overheads and cost of productions. Large, one-off donations received the previous year were not repeated in 2024. As a result, at the year end the Charity’s reserves had fallen below the level that the Trustees considered adequate to remain a going concern.

Subsequent to the year end, a special fundraising campaign was initiated in October 2024. This has raised nearly £100,000 and restored reserves to a level to enable the Passion of Jesus and other major performances to go ahead in the current financial year (to 30th September 2025).

Specific items are noted below.

General Fund

The General Fund includes net income/losses from the Nativity and Life of Christ productions, as well as other central costs, offset by income generated from the Education programme and unrestricted donations. A donation of £25,000 was received from the Bible Society.

Overall, the fund recorded a deficit of £27,238 before transfers to other funds, and a deficit of £87,236 after transfers (2023: surplus of £158,195/surplus after transfers £79,942). Within this:

Transfers of £59,998 were made from the General Fund, of which £15,998 was to cover the deficit on the Trafalgar Square fund, and £44,000 to the Education fund. Both these are restricted funds, but some of their income is unrestricted and accounted for in the General Fund. These transfers are largely made from income generated by these activities.

As a result of the above, the General Fund balance at the end of the year was £118,579 (2023: £205,815).

Restricted Funds

Trafalgar Square: this is the fund for the production of the Passion of Jesus which is held in Trafalgar Square on Good Friday. We do not charge for this event, but we do ask the audience for donations to supplement (restricted) funding from major donors. This year funding from major donors was lower at £71,000 (2023: £85,000) and (unrestricted) audience donations were £24,000 (2023: £28,000). The production cost £113,000 to stage (2023:113,000) which meant the production lost £18,000. At the year end the fund stood at £0, the deficit on production being covered by the General Fund.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2024

New Toilets: We received a donation of £15,000 to build new toilets, and this was done during the year, leaving the fund with a zero balance at the year end.

Education: Our Education programme is funded by a number of donors. This year we received donations of £46,000 (2023: £22,000). Costs were nearly £90,000 (2023: £72,000). In addition, the Education programme generated revenues of £50,474 (2023: £53,841) from its activities which are accounted for in the General Fund. The fund stood at £412 at the year end.

School Bursary: This fund is to provide financial support to schools to attend the Life of Christ and other events. In the current year it received donations of £10,650 (2023: £9,725) and spent £10,717 (2023: £8,717) on supporting schools. At the year end the fund stood at £11,815 (2023: £11,882).

Reserves Policy and Going Concern considerations

The Trustees’ Reserve policy targets to hold the costs (estimated at £120,000) of the next Trafalgar Square performance (to be held in April 2025), plus approximately 6 months fixed running costs (estimated at £50,000). Unrestricted reserves of £118,579 are significantly below the target minimum of £170,000.

As a result, a special fundraising campaign was initiated in October 2024 and to date (end of January 2025) this has raised about £100,000 which puts the Charity above the target minimum reserves level.

Based on the updated reserves position and cash flow projections for the coming year, the Trustees are confident that the CIO is a going concern for at least the next 12 months following the signing of this report.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its constitution dated 16 May 2016 and constitutes a foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wintershall CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wintershall CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Wintershall CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2024.

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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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 30 September 2024

1. 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.

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.

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 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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
