CHARITABLE PURPOSE AND PUBLIC BENEFIT** **2.1** The primary objective of the Charity is the upholding of the Roman Catholic Religion and meeting the needs of the people in our time as manifested in the Southeast London and West Sussex areas in the UK, but also to help others in the areas listed above, wherever possible and as far as our resources allow.

Wherever possible the Charity collaborates with other Christian bodies. Facilities like the chapel, the meeting rooms and the convent grounds are available to the public. **2.2 The Mission Statement:** The Mission statement is OUR VISION which we updated in every General Chapter to make it brief and sharper, to guide and inspire the charitable activities which extend beyond the UK to three continents of Europe, Africa, and South America. The Congregation held a General Chapter in August 2021 in Harare, Zimbabwe and refined its VISION further to respond to the needs of the Charity today. The VISION for 2021-2027 reads as follows: _We are Dominican Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus_ _We contemplate God’s Word and honour His presence_ _in one another and in all creation_ ## _United in our diversity,_ _we respond to emerging needs and safeguard the dignity of all, especially the vulnerable and marginalised_ _We are accountable and transparent_ _in managing financial and natural resources_ _and collaborate with others wherever we are missioned._ ## **2.3 Public Benefit** The charity’s trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.

In fulfilment of their responsibilities, the Trustees held hybrid (zoom and in presence) meetings during 2022 and met in person with the Charity, Richard Place Dobson, investment managers and financial advisors. They participated in the Zoom Meetings organized by Buzzacott, Stone King, the Catholic Charity Conference and APB. However, we still missed face-to-face interactions with our financial advisors. The Trustees considered risks to the mission, to the health and safety of the Sisters and to the assets of the Charity, and they continued taking steps to mitigate these and other risks. The membership of the English Delegation of the Congregation comprises 7 Perpetually professed members and 2 Temporary professed members. The 9 members are distributed in two communities or houses 6 and 3 respectively. Sacred Heart Priory Community is located at 38 Hyde Vale, Greenwich, London; while the Generalate community is situated at 4 Gossops Green Lane, Crawley. The communities are based in areas where it is believed that the Sisters' presence provides spiritual, emotional, moral and psychological support. The local superior in Greenwich is responsible for both the needs and the care of the Sisters in her community and she liaises regularly with the Trustees. The community at Gossops Green consist of six members, who are the Charity's Trustees and were installed into office on 23[rd] August 2021. Due to the difficulties faced in getting Visas to England, the last two trustees arrived only in May 2022. ## **4.

FINANCIAL REVIEW** A summary of the year’s results can be found in the appended accounts. ## **7.1 Independent Examination.** In consultation with Richard Place Dobson Services Limited, the Trustees decided to do an independent Examination since the income was below the recommended threshold of £250,000.00 for the year ended 31 December 2022. Mr Harding explained the Independent Examination report re: 2022 Accounts. The following were highlighted: - a. Going Concern: The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. i.e., The Congregation continues to exist on a secure financial basis. - b. The Accounts are in good order, and they are below the expected threshold. - c. The Charity Report is thorough and covers all aspects of what Charity is about, and the pictures capture everything. - d. The Trustees are not reliant on selling the investments for cash flow in the short term since they still receive steady dividends quarterly. - e. At the meeting in November the representative of BlackRock informed the Trustees that the Investment at BlackRock Catholic Charities Growth and Income Fund can fall and rise at any time. In 2021 the investment was positive though in 2022, investments were not spared. The reasons are inflation, tragic events in Ukraine, and European energy price increases. However, the benefits of BlackRock are that it does not just invest in the companies but in traded debts, (they have relatively low risk), and property. The investment stood at £1,301,712.70 and at the reporting date had decreased in value by £185,379. **8. Finance Administration and Management:** ## **8.1 Responsibility of the Bursar General** The Bursar General is responsible for the administration of all financial affairs and material assets, the immovable property, and the General Fund of the Congregation, in accordance with the laws of the Church, State, and Congregation. The Bursar General acts under the direction of, and in close cooperation with, the Prioress General and is accountable to her (Can.636) - **8.2 Advisory Finance Committee Zoom Meetings:** Meetings with the Independent Examiner Mr. Daren Harding, Mr. Ludwig Spagl, Fr. Richard Ounsworth OP, Mr. Fergus Brotherton, and Amanda Francis were held on 10 June 2022 with the Auditors Mr. Harding present. On 29[th] November 2022, another meeting was held with the investment manager, Mr. Alexander Bitzakidis, from BlackRock. > THE GENERALATE, 4 Gossops Green Lane, Gossops Green Crawley RH11 8BJ West Sussex, England 13  Tel 00-44-01293-524-067  Fax 00-44-01293-527-140 e-mail: prioress.gen@domgen.uk.net www.dominicanmissionarysisters.org Registered Charity; Number 1168379 ## **DOMINICAN MISSIONARY SISTERS** OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS CIO Trustees Report ‐ 2022 ## **8.3 The financial reserves:** The reserves are to serve Charity’s present and future needs relating to the education of our younger members and future pensions. The charity’s principal asset comprises listed investments, the value of which is dependent on movements in the UK and world stock markets. The investments have been managed by BlackRock/Charifaith who adhered to a policy incorporating ethical considerations agreed upon by the trustees. The trustees met 3 times inclusive of an informal AGM. The Budget for the Charity was approved annually by the General Council. The report with the investment managers, and the manager’s performance and that of the portfolio were monitored. The investment strategy was assessed regularly by the Advisory Committee to ensure it remains appropriate to Charity’s needs- both now and in the future. - **8.4 Gift Aid:** A Gift Aid Schedule for donations. There were no donations received that would have warranted a gift aid claim. ## **8.5 Reserves Policy** It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to approximately between 6-12 months expenditure. At the year end date the reserves held are slightly in excess of the policy but this is due to the uncertainty ahead in terms of increased expenditure in light of the current economical climate. ## **9. Plans for 2023** - **9.1 Policies:** The Trustees to study, update and implement all the policies. - **9.2 Website:** To continue updating the Website with new materials and keeping it up to date. - **9.3 Financial Advisory Committee:** To hold two meetings, one with the Auditors and the second with the Investment Managers. - **9.4 Regional Chapter:** The Trustees to continue nurturing, promoting, supporting and encouraging Dominican Governance at Regional/Delegational Level; Regional Chapter in Germany and Combined Councils Meetings. - **9.5 Collaboration with the Dominican Family in Africa** : The Regional/Delegational leadership of Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe will represent the General Leadership at the Assembly of the Dominican Sisters in Africa (DSA) in Kenya. ## **9.6 Celebrating membership and other milestones in Sisters’ lives:** - a. perpetual profession in Germany, Zambia and Zimbabwe. - b.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 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 that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or - 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments which are included at market value, and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have considered the impact of COVID 19 on the charity's finances but consider the reserves to be sufficient to cover all expenses and enable the members and Trustees to carry on delivering the objects of the Charity. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. ## **1.4 Income** Donations and similar incoming resources are included in the year in which they are receivable, which is when the charity becomes entitled to the resource. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Trading income relates to income from the charity shop and hospitality and is accounted for on a received basis. Sisters pension income and other incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which it relates. Income from investments is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is receivable. THE GENERALATE, 4 Gossops Green Lane, Gossops Green Crawley RH11 8BJ West Sussex, England 20  Tel 00-44-01293-524-067  Fax 00-44-01293-527-140 e-mail: prioress.gen@domgen.uk.net www.dominicanmissionarysisters.org Registered Charity; Number 1168379 OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS CIO Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) ## **DOMINICAN MISSIONARY SISTERS** ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is 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. Charitable activities relate to the cost of serving the community and that of carrying out the charity's international aid work. These expenses have been allocated directly to functional headings as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **Charitable activities** Costs of charitable activities are incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. Support costs now include governance costs which are costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include independent examination fees, accountancy fees, legal and professional fees and bank charges. ## **Allocation of support costs** The main activity of the charity is to provide religious services to the community so all costs related to this are classed as direct charitable costs and all other costs are allocated as support costs. ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% reducing balance Computers equipment 33% straight line Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. ## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. ## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ ## **Debtors** Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. ## **Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ ## **Creditors** Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. ## **1.10 Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **1.11 Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for the use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on the expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **Critical judgements** ## **Depreciation** Management has made assumptions and estimated depreciation rates in the respect of showing a true and fair view of the assets at the balance sheet date. ## **Investments** Valuation of investments at market value, based on calculation by the investment fund manager. The investments held are all shares listed on a recognised stock exchange and have an easily identifiable market value.
