TRUSTEES, REPORT HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE OF CLIFfoN Until 31 December 2017 the Roman Catholic Diocese ofciifton was constituted as a Charity for Roman Catholi¢ Purposes by the Declaration ofTrusi dated 6 ' May 1934, ainended by a schcinc dated 19 August 1996 and further amended by a scheme dated 19 January 2007. All i'eporting was Inade under I'egistei'ed Charity No. 233977. On l January 2018 the assets and operations of the Diocese tran8f¢rred to this Charitable Company Limited by Guai'ant¢e, called Clifton Diocese. The Company number is 10462076 and the Charity number is 1170168. The Diirctors of the Charitable Company are the Trustees and this company carries on the activities of the Diocese. Tlie Diocese compriscs the Counties of Somerset, Glou¢estershire, Wiltshire and the City and County of Bristol. Clifton is largely a rural dioc¢se encompassing many towns and villages with several mediiim conLlI'bations and one major city. The Diocese serves its people through 107 parishes, 45 maintained s¢hools, 17 academies, 2 special schools and 5 independent schools and the Diocesan adminislralive office (Curia)- The principal objects of the charity are the advancement of the Roman Catholic religion, thc relief of poverty, the maintenance of the Roman Catholic Churches and the provision of Roman Catholic education within the Diocese of Clifton. ORGATr41SATIONAL STRUCTURE The primary routes of deliveiy of the Charitable Company's objectives are the parishes and schools within the Diocese. As part of ihe wider Catholic community the Diocese works collaboratively with other Dioceses in England and Wales and the Bishop is active internationally through his work with the Catholic Trust for England and Wales. The Diocesan administrative office supports the d¢liv¢ry of the objectivcs by co-ordination of Diocesan-wide progratnmes and ensures a cohesive approach to the administration of the Diocese in order to effectively support the parishes, which is paiticularly important due to increa5iiig statutory requirements in ai'eas such as property management and governance. Parishes There are approximately 170,000 people who identify as Catholi¢ within the Clifton Diocese. On a daily basis, parisliioners gather together in our Churches for worship within the parishes, ¢re&ting local Catholic communities which underpin the fonnation of their faith and deliver outreach to th¢ wider communities in which they are based. There arc 74 active priests {Dioccsan and Religioiis) within the Diocese who lead the parish communities, 5UPPOlted by 47 deacons many of whom combine their religious vocation with car¢er and Clifton Dioce&E AN111 RÉpoi'i 2020
TRUSTEES, REPORT family responsibilities. In addition, there are many retired priests who coi)tinu¢ to pi'ovide support and ministry where needcd. The role of the laity within the Diocese is a central feature to the life of our Catholic cotnmunity and as a result there is a focus on thcir fomation, giowtli and spiritlial wellbeing. Our pastoral guidelines 'A Future Full of Hope, continue to provide opportunities to appirciate tlie importanc¢ and priority of ongoing fomation and the focus of the depaitment for Adult Education and Evangelisation is to facilitate various training events and provide i'esources to assistancc aiid siipport both the priests and laity in the Dio¢ese. The Coronavirus pandemic and th¢ COVID-19 conts'ol measures hav¢ had a significant impact on pai'ish lifc, with the closure of the ¢hiirches during two lockdown periods and the reduced Capacity for the celebrnlion of Masses once th¢ chiirclies wcrc allowed to reopen. Ongoing restrictions on the celebi'ation of other life events has also limited the provision of thc Sacraments. Mass Attendance and Sacraments 2020 695 63 684 98 9,336 2019 1,468 73 1,670 525 28,016 Baptisms Received into the Church First Holy Communions Confirmation Sunday Mass attendance However, where possible, parishes have continiied to reach out to their local communities through work in food banks, soup runs and support groiips for the elderly. The itnportance of thcsc activities has been higlilighted dui'ing the Coronavirus pandemic and parishes have worked collaboratively with other faith groups and local charities to provide support for individuals 2nd families during this difficult period. As lockdown restrictions were relaxcd, parish properties were reopened and made available to local corntnunity support group5. The Diocese and parishes have closc links with CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) and through this and othei. I'outes, there is strong support from across the Diocese for overseas work in areas of poverty, war and where natural disasters have taken place. There are also various initiatives undertaken to support refugees boili in the UK and ovcrseas. The 107 parishes comprising the Clifton Dio¢ese forni the core of our Catholic community. They are served by 59 secular priests and 15 priests froin orders and otllcr Inissions. The priest fiilfils the central role in the parish ministering sacraments, leading woi'ship and in widcr ministry to the faithful and the community at large. Clifton Diocese is also fortunate to be served by a team of 47 permanent deacons who are vital to the pastoral life of the Diocese. The deacons offer ministry lo the Church sometimes alongside, and woven into, a full working careei. and family life. In many parishes that share priest5, the deacon woi'ks under the dircction of the priest in the delivery of pastoral care. Clifton Diocese Anniial Reptpri 2020
TRUSTEES. REPORT The parishes ¢o-operate as 13 deaneries. This sts'ucturc facilitates local collaboration and provides a collegiate envii'onment for parish pi'iests. Each deanery ha5 a pastoral council pre5idcd ov¢r by a dean and containing representatives of each member parish. In turn, ¢a¢h deanery pastoral council is represented on the Diocesan Pastoral Council. The parishioners fund both the upkeep of the Church buildings and the a¢commodation ]d living Costs of their priests. In addition to this irsponsibility, they contribute through a parish share to the support of thc Dioccsan departmental strnctiire and a vast range of external charities and groups. As well as their financial contribution, the parishioners also contribute time and effort both to tl)e running of their parishes and to the wider comtnunity through groups providing local support and welfai'e services. SoJne of our parishes are operating in communities facing the challenges of unemployment and social deprivation and community biiilding is integral to the work of these parishes. Schools There are 54 Catholic Priinary, 7 Catholic secondary schools and a sixth form ¢ollege, 2 independent special schools and 5 other independeiit scl)ools within the Diocese. Diiring 2020, th¢ Diocese withdrew from the joii)tly opcraled secondary school with the Church of bngland. However, support will continue to be provided to the current Cohort of Catholic pupils by the ongoing funding of a Catholic Chaplin for the next five years. Ovei. 22,642 pupils are ¢ducated in our schools and whilst priority is given to Catholic applicants, approximately 480/0 of pupils are drawn from outside the Catliolic community. The schools at times may have to provide education in challenging cir¢umstances to very diverse Communities and this has been particularly dIl¢U1t during the Coronavirus pandemic with the challenges of providing remote learning during the lockdown period, whilst remaining open to support the schooling of lai'ge numbers of children of key workers. School resources liave also bcen under pressure as there have been a number of occasions when both teachers and pupils in our schools have bccn required to self-isolate. During this period the monitoring of the academic performance of schools has been modified to reflect thc unusual situations created by thc pandemic. However, the Diocesan Department for Schools and Collcgcs continues to work closely with the relevant Local Aiithoi'ities, thc Regional Schools Commissioner ai)d OFSI'ED to ensure that hi7 quality edu¢alion is delivered whilst maintaining the Catholic ethos of the schools. PUBLIC BEIYEFIT The Trust¢es confirm that they l)ave cotnpli¢d with the diity as defined in scction 17 of the Charities Act 2011, to hav¢ diie regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, in determining the activities undertaken by the Chai'ity. Ln inaking this declaration, Ilie Trustccs consider the work of the Diocese in suppoiting our chai'itable objects and th¢ 5¢Ctions below elaborate further on the key areas of the benefit of our work to the public. Clifton Diocese Repoi't 2020
TRUSTEES, REPORT Access to our Cburches Our Churches are an important part of how our coinmuiiities define themselves and they arc a significant fealiire in many towns and cities. Most of these buildings are between 30 and 150 years old and somc are of historieal and architectuTrl importance. Some are listed by Historic England. We are guardians of a heritage that has been passed on to us and we will always do our best to pass thein on in good order to the next generation. All of them are subject to a need for constant maintenance and repair and this is a significant part of our overall expenditure. The closure of our Chur¢hes during the lockdown periods was a very difficult time for lo¢al Communities, paiticularly as thcy are used daily by parishioners and the wider community, not only to rec¢iv¢ the Sacraments, but as a place for quiet reflection and prayer. Ther¢foi'e, the agreement to allow the Churches to rcinaii) op¢n, and the celebration of public Masses to continue during the last lockdown p¢riod was gratefully IEceiv¢d. Help to the needy When we come to love of our neighbours, Jesus Christ was veiy clear that this did not just mean those who live next door lo us, but everyone that we share this beautiful God-given planet with. Our clergy and parishioners ach out not just to their own meinbers, but also to all who may need their help. They can be found helping on soup runs and feeding Ihtr homeless, at niglit shelters and food banks, assisting disabled adults and ¢hildren, visiting the sick at hom¢, in a nursing home, or in Iiospilal, dealing with Fair Trade and a whole range of environmental issues, working for justice and peace at home and abroad, helping with asylum issues and counselling those with all sorts of problems. Finallyj raising awai'cncss of the plight ofthe marginalised in many parts of the world, and raising funds to give practical assistance to such areas and peoples. Co-ordinating collective fundraising efforts Foi. accounting purposes, the money that ehurchgoers raisc for third parties is not classified as church incomc. However, the reality is that witl)out the help and structure of the Church, these funds would not be raiscd. So, for the Church, charity is not a welfare activity which could be left to others, but an integral part of what it means to be a person of faith and a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Education The number of primary and secondary schools with which we arc involved makes us a significant figiii'e in tlie field of education. We are iiivolv¢d with as many, if not tnoi'c schools, than many local education uthorities. Whilst our primary thrust is to provid¢ places for Catholic childrcn, il is also Iriie that the schools have a significant number of pupils and staff from other Christian traditioi)s and othcr f&iths. We constantly encourage via our Curia, to make sure that all our schools are striving for excellencc for all pupils, and we value the contribution that these s¢hools make to their local communities. We always aim to have OLir schools as beacons of excellence, not only academically but also in faith and morals. In this way, we help to show our love of our neighbours.

STRATEGIC REPORT STRATEGIC REPORT ACTIvrrIES AND ACHtEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR The Diocese's key objectives to enhance the work aiid support the strategy of the Diocese in 2020 was impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic and as a result there was a significant focus on supporting the parishes during this difficlilt time. It was necessary to re-prioritise activities in order to work effectively and the following was achieved.. Ongoing guidance and support provided to parishes following the closure of places of worship dui'ing the l(xkdown periods. This iiicluded the initial provision of PPE and cleaiiii)g equipinent and detailed risk assessments to support the safe reopening of Churches for private prayer and thc celebration of public Masses. Due to the loss of parish incoine following the closui'e of the Churclics, and reduced attendancc as a resiilt of capacity I'estrictions on¢e public Masses recommenced. ongoing finaiicial support was provided to thc parishes by a reduction in the parish share contributions. The Job Retention Scheme ha5 been utilis¢d to support parish employees who w¢r¢ iinable to work due to the elosed of the Chiirches and parish facilities. Online paym¢nl fun¢tionality was implemented on over ninety parish websites and parishes pioinotcd th¢ use of standing order payments. Pi'ovision of ti'ainiiig foi. Calechists by the Department of Adult Education and Evangelisation switched to online learning and completion in linc with thc original schedule. Live stream of Masses implemented in over thirty parishes within th¢ Diocese, which enabled parishioners to participat¢ in the Liturgy when they were unable to attend in person. Parishes without the live streaining functionality actively promoted streaming at the Cathedral Church via their own websites and newsletters. Online Governors briefings were provided to our dio¢esan schools by the Department of Schools & Colleges with attendance significantly higher than face to face meetings. The Diocesan website utilised to pi'ovide resources for parishes and individuals during the Coronavirus pandemic including video reflections and prayers.

STRATEGIC REPORT Throughout the year three Diocesan priests celebrated theii. ordination jubilees, with one pi'iest clebrating his Golden Jubilee of fify years as a priest. Education Implementation of the Diocesan School Strategy for all schools to be in a Multi-A¢ademy Trust or Academy ready by 2021 contiiiucs to a key prioi'ity for the Dioc¢sc and in order to support this activity, the Schools Partnership Officer role was made a permanent position in February 2020. The seven s¢hool partnei'ships continue to complete the due diligcnce exercise in preparation lo commit to the fom)al process of joining a MAT at the appropi'iate time. However, two of the partnerships have piogi'essed sufficiently with Ihcir planning to enable ihein to be accepted on the Dcpartment of F.ducalion's pilot scheme, which is supporting schools with the fom)ation of Multi-Acad¢iDy 'friists. Under the scheme, govei'nincnt funding has been provided to cov¢r legal and project Inanagement ¢osls incurred as part of the transfer of individual schools into the ncw'l'rusts. As the government directive continues to focus on Miilti-Acad¢my Trust structtiiES going forward, r¢gular meetings al'e held with the Regional Schools Cotnmissioner and the Rcgioiial Delivery Dire¢lorate to siipport the ongoiiig engagement with the sch(K)I partn¢rships. Pastoral and Formation Activities The Coronavirus restrictions in place across England over the last twelve tnonths have had an impact on pastoi'al and foiination activities. Anniial cvcnts siich as the Diocesan Day and the pilgrimages to Lourdes and the Shrine of Oui. Lady iii Glastonbury have all been cancellcd. It was also necessary to cancel the planned 'ln the Footsteps of St Ignatius, pilgrimage to Spain. Despite the constraints on groups meeting together, ongoing foiination for the laily has continued remotely and thc new Pastoral Ministry Course was laiinched diiring the year. Five people have been accepted on the course, which is liiiktd to the University of Loyola in Chicago, with the aim of developing their pastoral skills, understanding and confidence in supporting our parishes. Catechetical fomiation has also contiiiued remotely with an increased number of students joining the course. Th¢ use of Microsoft Teams and the discussionlchat room functionality has enabled participants to engage with ea¢h other to share experiences. Due to thc wide geographical Spad of th¢ Diocese the use of online meetings has encouraged some individuals to parli¢ipate in courses as the need to travel to venucs lias been removed. Face to face mectings will resume when possible, however, & blended approach will b¢ adopted with remote sessions continuing lo be facilitated as appropriate. Property The Diocese was aW.ded two grant5 from the Historic England Cultural Recovery Fund to support the fiinding of significant capital repairs proj1 on Grade l and Gl'ade Il listed biiildings where thc work had 51allcd due to the Coronaviius pandemic.

STRATEGIC REPORT The refiirbishment of the Catholic Chaplaincy for tl)e Universities of Bristol commenced in Mai'ch 2021 and the projcct is scheduled foi. coinpletion by May 2022. It is planned for the residential facililat¢S to be available for students from the 2022123 academic year. Work has also commenced on the refvrbishment and repairs of St Bernadette's, a Grade 11 listed biiilding in Whitchiirch, Bristol. The project includes repairs to the iconic roof structure, replacement of glazing units, the provision of disabled access and an upgraded energy efficient heating system. The building works are due to be completed in De¢ember 2021. To support health atkd safety cotnpliance throughout the Diocese an online managetnent system has bcen implemented. The system provides cach parish with the functionality to maintain records such as elevlri¢al eertificates, gas safety ceitifiLales and legionella insptionS in a centi'al plaee. An addili()nal function is a diary management systetn which highlights wl)en new inspections are required. Finaiieial Impact of the Coronavirus pandemie Following the closui'e of our chui'ches in March 2020 financial support has been provided to the parishes by a r¢du¢lion in parish shar¢ conli'ibulions. 'I'li¢ total support providcd duriiig the y¢ar was £673k. As the Churches remained closed through Easlei., financial support totalling £123k was also provided to Diocesan parish priests in lieu of the annual Easter offcrings. Witli the continuing impact of the pandeJnic on oui. pai'ishcs it was agiEed to provide ongoing financial support throughout 2021. Adjusted pai'ish share contribiilions for the year have been Calculated and in order to fund the reduced incotnc from these adjustsnents it was agreed to drawdown £lm from restricted and designaled ttserves to support the fvnding of the Curia operational budget for 2021. In spite of the ongoing need to use reserves during the pandemic, the Trustees are confident that the ongoing support for the parishes can be provided, and the Diocese continues to be a going concern. Financial risk management objeetives As dcscribcd in the Triist¢e5' report, the Charitable Company has cstablished a risk and finan¢ial anagement framework whose primaiy objectives are to pi'otect the Charitable Company from events that liinder the achievement of the Charitable Company'% objectives. The Charitable Company has no opcrations outside of the UK and is not exposed to movements in exchange rates, and therefore does not enter into transactions with derivative instruments. Cash flow and liquidity risk is eovered by forcoasting 2nd management of cash. The Chai'itable Company has no significant individual debtors and therefore limited Li'edil i'isk.

STRATEGIC REPORT As COVID-19 measure5 are ttlaxed, support oui. Diocesan communities to focus on three key areas.. Responding to the Cry of thc Poor Rcsponding to the Cry of thc Earth Cclcbraling good Liturgy that engages with people's expei'i¢nc¢s Promote contactless giving and the use of standing orders to generate income for parishes Continuc lo ulilise technology as a medium for evangelisation by the provision of resour¢es on the Diocesan website and Ihc availability of online formation eoiirses FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DEI CEMBEI R 2020 The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordan¢¢ with the principlcs contained in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective l January 2019)- issued by the Chai'ity Commissioners for England and Wales and in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note I to the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements do not include any value for school properties. Trustees consider that no meaningful value can be attributed to these assets, since they are not used directly by the Charitable Company. They do not generate income and cannot be disposed of in the open market or put to alternative iise while such occupation, which may be indefinite, contiiiues. Curial Funds Curial incoinc includes the parish share, which is a contribution from the Diocesan parishes towards the running costs of t]1¢ Curia. It is presented in the published accounts as a'lransfer between funds" Total Curial in¢ome was lower in 2020 at £9l4k compared to £1,488k in 2019. as a one-off property sale of £540k during 2019 increased the income for the year. There was an overdll gain of £391k on fixed asset investinents iii 2020 compai'ed to a gain of £996k in 2019. Included in the 2020 investment gain was a £136k inciEase in tl)e revaluation of investincnt properties (nil in 2019). The investment portfolio generated investment income of £212k in 2020 (2019.. £247k). Total Curial expenditure was £2,812k (2019.. £4,131k). Tliere ar¢ a number of reasons for the decrease. 2020 saw less expenditure on buildiiig costs and professional fcc5 in relation to Ciirial tnanaged chuirh projects. More expeiiditure in 2019 on siipport for school improvements in specific Diocesan schools. Savings from holding vacancies in 2020 Éd lower expenditure in 2020 on genci'al operational costs du¢ to reduced face to face &ctivity during the pandemic. Overall, Curial Funds decreased in the year by £465k {2019: increase of £120k). Total Ciirial Funds at 3 l December 2020 were £18,134k (2019.. £18,599k) of which £12,723k (2019.. £13,393k) were unrestricted. Fixed assets account for £1,075k (2019: £978k) of total Curial Funds of which £841k (2019: £735k) is unreslri¢l¢d. Total Curial Funds include £635k (2019: £912k) net balances due from pai'ishes.

STRATEGIC REPORT Paroehial Fund5 Thc unrestricted offertory, donations and legaeies income for the year was £4,490k (2019.. £6,283k). Income from ¢hai'itable activities, including fundraising income, was £1,457k (2019.. £2,309k). The main reason for the ttduction in incomc is due to ¢hiirches being closed or opened witli reduced ¢apacity diiring the year due to the pandemic. The charitable expenditurc by the parishes was lower in 2020 at £6.Om (2019.. £7.4m). This was due tnainly to churches being closed for part of the year and parish employees being placed on fyrjou, resuliiiig in Irduced operating costs. Overall Pai'ish Funds incrca5cd in the year by £125k (2019.. £1. I k). Total Parish Funds at 31 December 2020 amountcd to £28,687k {2019.. £28,562k) of which £27,717k (2019.. £27,607k) was U[¢StrICted. Freehold land aiid buildings account for £14,225k (2019-. £14,820k) of total Parish Funds of which all are unrestricted. INVESTIVIENT POWERS The Trust Decd auihorises the Trustees to tnake and hold investments using the ndS of the Charitabl¢ Company without any i'estrictions, according to the law for the time being in force and in the purchase of rcal pioperty of any natur¢ or teniire. In the casc of property held as peiinanent endowments, no IIIVe5tm¢nt miy be made in any manner not aiithorised by or without such consent required by the instrument crcating the pernianent endowment and no sale or exchange of real property shall be made without the consent of th¢ Charity Commissioncrs and the Companies Act 2006. Investment Policy and Perfortnance Investment balances are managed by Tilney Stnith & Williamson on a discrctionary basis. The aim of the investment portfolio is to aintain the purchasing powcr of the capital while maintaining an income stream. Gcneral Diocesan deposits are invested in a spread of short-terni bank dcposit5. In 2014 a secondary investm¢nl portfolio was established with a smallei. proportion of equities than th¢ main portfolio in the anticipation of generating better i'etuins than fixed interest dcposits. The Investment Committee reviews the p¢rforn)ance of the tnain portfolio against the appropriate indices. The primary benchmark index is RPI with a secondary benchtnark of the APCIMS Balanced Index. Excluding additional investment, the underlying funds increased in value by 5.5 % {yield and capital growth). The Trustees remain confidentthat the perfomance demanded by the investment policy will continue to be achieved against the backdrop of a currently volatile market. The Investment Committee ¢ontinues lo invest Diocesan fiinds in accordance with an ethical policy which wa5 amended in 2020 to spccifically exclude investtnents in companies which receive more than IOO/o (as a de minllnus value) of their revenues from..

The officers on behaifof the Trustees also monitor cash on a day to d&y basis to ensure liquid funds are available for routine expenditure. In view of the nature of the Charitable CoJnpany, the Trustees consider that the holding of reserves is necessary to piovide a buffer against short-term fluctuations in in¢ome and expenditure and to provide sufficient resources to implement long-tem projects which are by their nature uncertain in their financial cffc¢l. The timing of the call for Diocesan fvnds for the schools, building programme will depend on the availability of funding by the Education Funding Authority. Free reserves have decreas¢d by £890k during the year. The free ttserves represent 23 months of recutTing utw¢stricted expenditure (2019.. 24 months). In the light of the long-term chara¢t¢ristics of the expenditure plans thc Ti'ustees consider that thc Charitable Company should maintain free reserves of at least 24 months recurring unrc5tricted expenditure. The paro¢hial free reserves foi'm £13.2m (2019.. £12.Sm} of the total £19.67m (2019.. £20.5m)- It should also be noted that whilst the balance sheet shows "cash at bank and short-tct7n deposits" of £22.6m (2019.. £23.9m), this balan¢¢ includes sale proceeds of £5.2m (2019.. £5.7m) held for future schools building projects and other funds held for restricted pury)ose5.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTtNG POLICIES Basis of accounting The financial statetnents have been prepared in accordance with the Finaneial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Statement of Recomtncnded Practic¢ for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective l January 2019) and the Companie5 Act2016 Thc Chai'ity is a Public Bencfit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales. The priiicipal accounting policies which have been adopted on a wnsistent basis within that conv¢nlion ar¢ set out below. Going concern In spite of the need for Ti'ustees to use £lm of coinbined dcsignated and restrictcd ttserves in 2021 to continue to support parishes through th¢ pandemic (by reduccd parish share contributions) the Trustees consider they are still able to continuc as a going concern. A cashflow Statement has been produced uplo Sept 2022 and reserve levels and future plans have been revicwed all of which give Trustees confiden¢¢ the charity remains a going concei'n foi. the foreseeable future. Critiul accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are itquired to make judg¢ment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparcnt fi'om oihci. sources. The estitnates and iinderlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimatss. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are rccognised in the period in which the estimate is r¢vised if the revision affects only that period, or in thc period of the revision and futiire periods if the revision affected current and futurc p¢riods. The Trusle¢s eonsider the estiTnalion of liseI life of fixed assets to be an are& of judgeinctLt and estimation that liave a significant effect on the financial statements. Further details on these judg¢ments are providcd below under tangible fixed assets. Investment property has been valued in accordan¢e with the policy notcd below. In the view of the Trustees, no assuinptions con¢erning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet dat¢ arc likely to result in a material adjiistment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. Ineome and endowments Incotne is recognised in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receip( it is probable that income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Clif¢op7 Diocese AnniiulR8poI-12020 31
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Donations and any associated income tax r¢claimable fiDm HMRC are recognised on a rexcivable basis. Donations received for the genei'al purposes of thc Charity are credited to uniEStricted funds. Donations subject lo specific wishes of the donors are carried to rcl¢vattt restricted fi]nds. Legacies are accounted forwhen the conditions for their receipt hav¢ been met and the amount can be quanlified with reasonable accuracy. Donated assets are included in tlie Stalcmenl ofFinan¢ial Activities on a receivable basi5 using the I0r of market value or the value to the Diocese. Sundry grant income and grants obtsined on behalf of School Govemors are accounted for on a r¢¢¢ivable basis (see Schools Accounting Policy below). Fundi'aising income is shown net of associated costs. Income arising from sales of propety is Ircogniscd as soon as there is a binding agreement. This is Usually the date of exchange of contracts. However, if thc salc is conditional income is recognised when those conditions have been fulfilled. All incoine from endowment funds is restricted incomc and is expended in accordance with the original tciThs of the endowment. Income from Coronavirus Job Rclcntion Scheme (Furlough Scheme) is tsEaled as a Govcrntnent Grant. The Grant is treated as income and the a5sociatcd salary costs treated as expenditure. Expenditure Expenditure is accountcd for in the period in which the Charity becotnes obligcd lo make a transfer of value to a third paity- The irrecoverable element of VAT is included within the item of expense to which it relates. Where an itesn of expenditure falls directly within one cost category it is attributed to that category only. Where expenditure involves More than one Category it is apportioned on a reasonable and justifiable basis. The Social Club cxpcnditure includes salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of running the Charity's proprietary social club. Grants and donations are payments the charity makes voluntarily to other institutions or individuals to fuither its objcctives. I'hey are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in tlie year in which they are payable. Grants and donations also incllide amounts paid to charities or funds or spent on specifi¢ projects. These sums have been collccted from parishioners for these specific purposes. Costs of charitable activities are analysed in th¢ notes by the type of activity.

NOTES TO THE fNANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTDIG POLICIES (CoNTIrED) Goveinance in¢ludes the costs of maint2ining records, preparing the accounts, the secretarial function regarding Triistees and other committee meetings. Employee benefits Shori ierin benefils Short term benefits including holiday pay are recolsed as an expense in the period in which the service is r¢ceived. Eipiployee lei'minalion benefils Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102. Pensions The Trustees dcsignale an amount each year which is allocated to the Priests, Retirement Fund. The Clergy Welfare Committee which tnanages this fund considers the needs of priests in retiretncnt and makes appropriate grants. In addition, the Pai'ishes made contribiitions for priest5 to a Group Personal P¢nsion Scheme. Contributions are also paid for all eligible employees by the Curia to a Defined Contribution Schemc. The assets of the Schemes are held separately from those of th¢ Charity in indepcnd¢nily administered funds. The Pension Scheme charge represents contributions payable by the Charity in accordance with the rules of the S¢hcJnes. Schools The Charity owns the land on which its voluntary-aidcd schools are built. The llare of the occupation of the land by th¢5c exempt and exc¢pt¢d charities mcans that the Diocesan TNsl¢¢s do not have the power to dispose of thc land until Ilie school ceases its occupation, Ivhich in turn would require the approval of the Seci'elary of State. Conscqu¢nily, for the piirposcs of these financial statcments the land is not ¢apitalised. Thc cost of any land acquiied for the pui'poses of a voluntary aided school is charged to the statement of finatkcial activities in thc year of acquisition. Where it h8sbeen agreed with the School Governors and th¢ Department foi. Education thata school property and the laiid on which it is sited is surplus to i'equiretn¢J)ts the share of thc proceeds due to the Department for Education, and any other interested partie5, are netted off the total amount receivable. Therefore, only the amount due to the Charity is credited to thc Statement of Financial Activities. The school buildings are occupied, improved, extended and repaired by the school govetijoi's. The nature of thc o¢¢iipation of these buildings, by these exempt and exceptcd charities, means that the Diocesan Trustees do not have control over the biiildings until the school ceases its occupation, which in turn would rcquire th¢ approval of the Secretary of State. Consequently. for th¢ purpose CliftoF7 Diocese Repoi'l 2020 33
NOTES TO THE FtNANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTING POLlCtri S (CONTINUED) of these financial statements any cost of new building is written off to the Statement of Fiiiancial Activities in the yeai. in which it is ineurred.

The Diocese of Clifton includes 45 (2019.. 45) maintained schools, 16 Acadetnies (2019.. I8), 2 special schools (2019.. 2), 5 independent schools (2019.. 6) and 16" Forn) College (2019=1). Details of the Diocesan Schools are listed in Ilie Clifton DioL¢san Directory. Taxation The Trustees consider that the Charity is largely exempt from income tax under the provisions of the Income and Cortx)ration Taxes Act 1988 and the Taxation of Taxable Gains Act 1992. Howevcr) provision is tnadc for taxation on the Social Club's income less expenditure. Tangible Fixed Assets Only tangible fix¢d asscts with a cost in excess of £5,000 have been ¢apilalis¢d. (i) Freehold Land Functional land, (i.e. land used for the primary purpose of the Chai'ity), is included in the financial slalcm¢nls at oi'iginal c05t or where this is not available al an estimate of its historic cost or ii) the case of donated land, al its fail. value at the date of reccipt.

All new fiin¢tional buildings, improvements and major renovations aiE capitalised al the cost of conslrnction. The cost of assets held at 31 December 1996 was eslimated based on indexing back reinstatement insurance valiies to the year of acquisition. Rents are received in respect of certain properties which are held in furtherance of Ihe Charity's objectives and mostly used by the Diocese. Only siirplus space is rented. These pIDperties have therefore, all been shown as charitable functional properties. (iii) Fixtures, Fittings and Equiptnent The costs of Churches and the Cathedral include all fixturcs and fittings and organs which forms part of the f2bi.ie of the building.
