TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. The trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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
a. Policies and objectives
The principal objective of the Charity is to seek to further God's Kingdom through Worship, Ministry and works of charity. The Sisters' lives are lived out under Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.
The Trustees have had due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.
Today’s charitable work, through prayer and finance will lean towards the vulnerable in society as expressed primarily through the Community’s work with the Clewer Initiative. In addition, other projects and works are supported as opportunities are presented to the Trustees, see ( c ) below.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The Trustees have decided that as much as possible should be done to meet the charitable objectives during the llifetime of the Sisters, including spending capital. The Investment Portfolio is therefore in a “spend-out” situation, although it will take some years to deplete it. This will partly depend on the spending opportunities with which the Trustees are presented.
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The activities for achieving the objectives of the Charity include prayerfully setting up and sponsoring the Clewer Initiative and also sponsoring the Medaille Trust and other initiatives, all these being towards the church’s contribution to eradicate the curse of Modern Day Slavery; supporting organisations which work to free women trapped in, and vulnerable to, street sex work.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Achievements and performance
a. Key performance indicators
The aim of the investment is to generate a return to fund charitable expenditure along with expenses for the care and wellbeing of the Sisters.
Performance benchmarks have been agreed with the Investment Manager. Regular reports are received as to the progress of the investments which enables the Community to sponsor the charitable work selected as most in keeping with the aims of the Community’s Foundress.
The CIO does not fund raise.
b. Review of activities
A regular pattern of worship is being maintained at St Mary’s Convent, Chiswick, where the sisters now reside in care.
c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives
Trustees are in constant contact via zoom and other means with the bodies which receive sponsorship in order to monitor progress, and also with the Sisters in connection with their own wellbeing.
d. Investment policy and performance
On 1 July 2019, the remaining net assets and activities of The Community Of St John Baptist General Purpose Trust were transferred to the CIO including the investment portfolio held at fair value. The accounts include an unrealised gain of £884,064 as a result of re-stating the investments to fair value at the year end. There was a gain on disposal of investments of £241,619 which was calculated by taking the sale proceeds less the fair value of the investments at the start of the year or when purchased.
Financial review
a. Going concern
The financial statements of the Charity are prepared on a going concern basis.
The Covid-19 outbreak has caused severe disruption to charities internationally. The trustees have analysed and will carry out ongoing monitoring of the impact on the charity's financial position.
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. No material uncertainties exist.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
b. Reserves policy
The net increase in funds of £656,129 and other movements are all shown on the Statement of Financial activities. The balance of unrestricted funds balance carried forward at 30 June 2021 was £10,253,209 (2020 : £9,597,080). The amount of reserves which can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets is £8,439,756. The Trustees consider that the net funds are adequate for their purpose and in accordance with their reserves policy. Having regard to the fact that the principal responsibility of the Charity is to undergird the care of the remaining sisters, trustees have ensured that there are sufficient funds available to meet this lifetime commitment.
c. Material investments policy
The Charity has adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict with its aims, as far as is possible. The Trustees do not wish to have direct investments in companies involved with the manufacture and sales of arms, tobacco, gambling, the sex industry or short term high interest loans, or to invest in funds that are likely to be structurally exposed to these areas.
d. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal financial risk is the devaluation of the portfolio through world changes, for example Covid-19, relations between USA & China, or the inability of the Investment Manager to perform appropriately.
e. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The portfolio is subject to a medium risk profile. Trustees regularly monitor the progress of the shares to ensure that the value of the portfolio remains competitive.
f. Principal funding
On 1 July 2019, the remaining net assets and activities of the The Community Of St John Baptist General Purpose Trust were transferred to the charity which resulted in a donation received of £9,214,628.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Community Of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO is a registered charity, number 1173961, and is constituted under a CIO Foundation Constitution.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
Future Trustees may be appointed following consultations between existing Trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OF ST JOHN BAPTIST GENERAL PURPOSES CIO
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Community Of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards 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 been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 June 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OF ST JOHN BAPTIST GENERAL PURPOSES CIO (CONTINUED)
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 9
THE COMMUNITY OF ST JOHN BAPTIST GENERAL PURPOSES CIO
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OF ST JOHN BAPTIST GENERAL PURPOSES CIO (CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with the trustees and those charged with governance.
-
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements through discussion with the trustees and those charged with governance, which includes financial reporting . We considered that extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
-
We inquired of the trustees and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. We remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
-
We addressed the risk of fraud through management override by reviewing the appropriateness of a sample of cashbook entries and bank reconciliations; assessing whether the judgements made in making key accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the charity's activities that we come across throughout the audit.
However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both the trustees and those charged with governance of the charity. Our examination should not be relied upon to disclose all such material misstatements or frauds, errors or instances of non-compliance as may exist.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)- effective 1 January 2019 and Charities Act 2011.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
- Freehold property 2% per annum, straight line - Plant and machinery 25% per annum, reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% per annum, reducing balance - Fixtures and fittings 25% per annum, reducing balance
2.6 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 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.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities 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 estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges..

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial 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.
2.11 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
2.12 Investment Properties
Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Profit and loss account.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.The trustees have concluded that there are not any significant risks of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for the life-time commitment of this Charity as related in the reserves policy above.
