OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
We provide social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and forums for discussion and debate for the personal development of students. We are also committed to equality by pursuing equal opportunities and equal access policies to our student associate members in line with our democratic operation.
Significant activities
As always, the Society was committed to organising a wide range of inclusive social events, furthering the social education of students during the academic year 2023-2024.
We started the academic year with Fresher’s Week. We ran both Anti-Racism Workshops alongside Durham Students Unions’ People of Colour Association, and our Consent Awareness workshops ran by our Student Welfare team in conjunction with St Cuthbert’s Society’s College Officers and external non-profit gender violence charity Emily Test.
The week was largely a success with high engagement from the student body with the events that we ran. As declared prior we are dedicated to organising a wide range of inclusive social events, Freshers Week is our first set of these events. With an Alcohol Free activity each night of the week concurrent with our Alcohol inclusive events, we provided a range of events for a range of different accessibility needs.
With the President of the Society for the 2023 academic year, stepping up mid term due to the stepping down of the previous Sabbatical Officer in December of 2022 the Members of the Junior Common Room chose to elect Mr Ben Thomas to continue on as President of the Society for the 23/24 academic year. Hence Ben Thomas, was elected to carry a term from February 2023 till July of 2024.

ST CUTHBERT’S SOCIETY JUNIOR COMMON ROOM
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Over the rest of the academic year we ran a number of successful events that bought students together. Our Outreach Committee ran a number of successful charity fundraising events. Including their 12 Days of Outreach Campaign over the Christmas period. Our annual Murder Mystery Formal, organised by our PGM President in conjunction with their PGM Committee, had a team of student writers and actors who put on a well-attended and successful evening. We also had our 10th Annual Charity Fashion Show, St Cuthbert’s Society Charity Fashion Show is a Fashion Show put on by a committee of Volunteers and Student Models in aid of local charities. This Fashion Show was in aid of Headway County Durham. Headway Country Durham helps improve the lives of those suffering from brain injuries in the North East. The Committee’s fundraising efforts extend to both individual Pre and Post event fundraisers put on by those involved with the Fashion Show, the show itself and this year in collaboration with College a celebration formal which representatives from our Common Room and the Charity we donated to have the chance to celebrate and further donation efforts.
Our largest in-College fundraising event, the Feast of St Cuthbert, was attended by over three-hundred students, and featured live music, inflatables, and a 3 course meal and cheese board. We were able to lower ticket prices by cutting unnecessary spending, whilst also investing in tech assets to remove our dependance on external providers, and generate further income sources for the charity, through renting these to local organisations, including other Durham colleges..
Returning the JCR to its position of pre-Covid financial security, and improving its financial sustainability, has been a strategic priority for the current Trustees. As well as exploring routes to generate further income for the charity, we also examined areas of significant cost, and the benefit achieved. As a result of that work, we decided to cease offering a second sabbatical position - the Finance & Compliance Officer (FCO) position. This saves the organisation an entire annual salary, allowing us to use these savings to better serve our associate members.
We rolled a small proportion of the annual savings here into outsourced professionals to undertake some of the FCO work more cheaply, and to a more assured professional standard.
The FCO role has been replaced with a volunteer student-role, that of the JCR Treasurer, and the 23/24 term was the first term for this new role. This move was successful with some of the FCO’s responsibilities especially around compliance, being given to the President of the Society, as well as having a fantastically knowledgeable volunteer taking on the first term of the role. Mr Sam Bache, was the first role holder of JCR Treasurer in its new volunteer capacity rather than sabbatical. Sam implemented many systems which made the jobs previously completed by the FCO less time consuming.
In light of price inflation suffered by the charity, a difficult decision was taken near to the end of the financial year, to raise the price of the ‘JCR Levy’. For the 23/24 year the price of the JCR Levy for 3 or 4 year Undergraduate Students was £160.50, the decision was made to raise this for the 24/25 year to £172.50. This is mirrored in the price of our Post Graduate (Masters and PhD) and 1 year international study levy which saw an increase from £53.50 to £57.50.
During exam season we ran our ‘Stress Less’ campaign, which involved a visit from a petting zoo, free ice-cream, a Eurovision watch party, and other wellbeing activities that allowed students to come together and relax during what can often be quite a stressful time of year.
Our annual Summer Ball was held at Hardwick Hall Hotel, which featured a three-course meal, fairground rides, entertainment, live music and DJs. Cuth’s Day was held at 12 South Bailey, featuring free food, live music, entertainment and a silent disco. We continued to use the same security company we had used for this event last year, after seeing an improvement from the previous company the JCR was using. Both events were successful, and provided an excellent ending to the academic year.
The JCR runs over 40 different sports clubs and societies which allow student associate members to try new sports or interests, thereby enriching their educational and cultural experience during their time at Durham University. We are committed to ensuring these opportunities are accessible to all. Sports and societies continued to have good engagement and participation. We operate on a 50:50 subsidy system, whereby half the cost of a student associate member taking part in a sport or society is covered by the individual, and half is covered by the JCR. This means that we can keep most sports and societies memberships below £15 for the year. Where membership of a sport or society costs over £20 per year, any additional cost over £20 is matched 1:3 by the JCR. This is reinforced by the JCR’s Participation Fund, a non-means tested fund which any JCR member can apply to in order to receive up to £200 funding towards participation in a JCR or University sport or society. In June we held our Sports & Socs Formal, where we give out awards to recognise the contribution of volunteers who worked so hard to keep The Society operating throughout the year.

ST CUTHBERT’S SOCIETY JUNIOR COMMON ROOM
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
We maintained a good proportion of the services we typically offer, including peer welfare support for personal issues, sports teams and societies, gyms, library, and representation of student views to The University and beyond. The emphasis on these, as with all other activities of the JCR, is that of student leadership and ownership. Our student associate members are expected and encouraged to initiate, participate in, and lead our activities.
The Trustees would like to express their deep thanks to Ben Thomas who, in serving 1 ½ terms as President brought stability and governance expertise to the charity - and to Sam Bache, whose professionalism as Treasurer both led to significant in-year financial improvements, as well as setting the foundations for future success.
Public benefit
We have adopted a strong democratic internal structure that places its operation securely in its student associate members’ hands. This structure allows us to work for the public benefit. Our standpoints on equality and openness allow us to foster a culture of acceptance amongst student associate members, many of whom volunteer in some capacity for the benefit of others in The University, or as part of The JCR, which allows us to be strong members of the local and academic community. We keep this public benefit in mind when organising large social events that are open to all members of the public, and support the welfare of our students so they can continue to work at their studies and remain part of the community in Durham.
When we fund sports and societies this allows student associate members to try new sports or activities in which they would otherwise not have had the opportunity to participate. We have over a hundred volunteer positions that are elected or appointed, allowing anyone to apply irrespective of previous experience, and enrich the community as well as benefit them individually.
We take no political stance other than to represent our student associate members in order to maintain an inclusionary policy. We operate library and gym facilities that can be accessed by our student associate members to enhance their educational or recreational activities.
From 1 April 2008, section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 requires all charities to meet the legal requirement that its aims are for the public benefit. The Charity Commission states that there are two principles to be met in order to show that an organisation’s aims are for the public benefit: firstly, there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits and secondly that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty to have due regard to The Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
As the financial statements below indicate, The Charity has a sound financial base. One of the aims of The Trustees is to secure the long-term future of The Charity by careful and prudent management of its assets. As of 31 July 2024 The Charity has net assets of £162,625.
Our reserves remain invested in notice savings accounts, so that we earn a reasonable interest rate while maintaining access within 90 days to our funds, should we need or decide to call on them. The institutions we deposit with are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, and our deposits are below the per-institution cap for that scheme.
It is of course our intention to avoid running a deficit at all costs, and all current projections for the upcoming year show that we should end up in a healthier position.
RESERVES POLICY
We aim to hold reserves at least equal to that of the Levy and the Composition Fee that we receive from Durham University, which helps us to ensure that we could continue to meet our financial commitments to the Sports and Societies and contractual obligations to our employees if we received no funding from The University and none was received from our student associate members. This currently equates to £62,338 (that is the £15,756 university grant and the £46,582 raised from student levies.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The byelaws require there to be up to 7 external Trustees and up to 2 student Trustees, as well as the President of the Society, the JCR Treasurer and one other elected member from within the Executive Committee to sit on the Board with the specific aim of using this role to provide further diversity to the Board.

ST CUTHBERT’S SOCIETY JUNIOR COMMON ROOM
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Induction and training of new Trustees
Student Trustees are elected with a vote of student associate members following a general meeting. The Executive Committee student Trustee is elected to their Executive Committee role following a general meeting, and then elected to the Board of Trustees once the Executive Committee is called to meet. External Trustees are voted upon in general meetings of the Trustee Board, holding their position for up to four years. Trustees are given in-house training on their responsibilities as well as the governing structure of Cuth's JCR. Training is delivered by the Chair of Trustees, in collaboration with The President of the Society and Student Trustees. The day-to-day management of The Charity is undertaken by The JCR Executive Committee, chaired by The President of the Society.
Organisational structure
The JCR elects student associate members to serve on The JCR Executive Committee, which acts as a Management Committee. The JCR Executive meets at least thrice-termly and there are various additional committees, including those responsible for overseeing or managing matters related to finance, music facilities, governance, outreach and welfare etc. All major financial decisions must be ratified by a JCR General Meeting, open to all student associate members, with the majority of policy, planning, and strategic decisions being reported on or ratified in JCR Meetings. The largest financial decisions must be referred to, and approved by, the Board before the charity is committed. Prior to this, such matters will have been discussed by The JCR Executive who may seek guidance from The Trustees where appropriate. Minutes of Executive and General Meetings of the JCR are freely available on our website. Operational decisions on a day-to-day basis are made by the appropriate people who have responsibility for their areas of activity.
Related parties
The Society elects a member to sit on Durham SU Assembly, their major policy-making body. The Durham SU also provides wider representation for student associate members to the University, and offers guidance and support to the JCR.
The JCR is partnered with St. Cuthbert’s Society, one of Durham University’s colleges, both of which provide space and facilities to student associate members. We partner with The University on the organisation of certain activities and events, such as post-offer open days, and academic and social events. We accept funding from Durham University, based on the number of students within St Cuthbert’s Society. We have strong links with St Cuthbert’s Society Senior Common Room, The Fellows of St Cuthbert’s Society and St. Cuthbert’s Association (an organisation for alumni of St Cuthbert’s Society).
The JCR is a member of NCVO (The National Council for Voluntary Organisations).
Risk management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which The Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
We have our Business Continuity Plan, as well as our process for reviewing policies to ensure that they are updated on a regular basis.
We work with Durham University as a health and safety business partner, complying with relevant University regulations to collaboratively safeguard our student associate members and manage reputational risk.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
We continue to work closely with our fellow independent common rooms to engage with the University in a productive way. We have plans to deepen links with those other common rooms at Board level to improve efficiency and effectiveness - particularly considering whether a shared services model could be established.
The Board is working more closely with the Alumni Association and the JCR Development Officer to improve engagement with Alumni, and is building a strategy to raise significant funds to further our charitable aims. We continue to receive support from an alumnus to support our Music Room, and the performance of live music at the Society, and are keen to find further interested donors .
Last year’s report said we would continue to work on our financial sustainability, and I am please to that we are in a better position here now, with more stability. Our financial focus going forward is to retain this sustainability, whilst also being considerate of our member’s frequency of payment required to engage in our activities.
The Board is focused on diversifying the Board particularly that of external trustees, in terms of gender, race, experiences, professional expertise, amongst other areas.
We all aim to run St Cuthbert’s Society JCR well, and to hand it on to those that follow us in a better condition than we found it.
