Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 June 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the independent examination of accounts for the year 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. 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, continues to reflect the ethos of our Foundress, Mother Harriet, whose work centred on rescue and rehabilitation of the poor and marginalised in our society.

Caring for the vulnerable in society is expressed primarily through the Community’s work with the Clewer Initiative, the Medaille Trust and other charities and organisations involved in seeking to eradicate Modern Day Slavery. 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 are planning that the charity may be able to come to an end within the next four years, with its total assets being transferred to the charities we support, having made provision with actuarial advice for the continuing residential care of the remaining two sisters and the one ex-sister.

The Investment Portfolio is therefore in a “spend-out” situation and the Trustees have decided that no new grant applications will be accepted from organisations previously unknown to us.

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The activities for achieving the objectives of the Charity include prayerfully setting up and sponsoring the Clewer Initiative. We also support the work of the Medaille Trust, both of these charities being dedicated to the eradication of the curse of Modern Day Slavery.

Achievements and performance

a. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

During the year the Charity made grants greater than £40k to a number of projects amounting to £1,170,225 as detailed below:

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 June 2024

Financial review

a. Going concern

The financial statements of the Charity are prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next four years. As a result, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. No material uncertainties exist.

b. Reserves policy

The balance of unrestricted funds balance carried forward at 30 June 2024 was £6,163,382. The amount of reserves excluding the net book value of tangible fixed assets is £5,663,981. The Trustees consider that the net funds are entirely 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.

In addition to our primary purpose of caring for the Sisters we are committed to providing substantial financial support to two charitable organisations working at the forefront of eradicating modern day slavery.

The Charity’s financial assets, and this reserves policy, will be reviewed at each quarterly meeting of Trustees.

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 relations between USA & China, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East 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

The Charity is funded by its substantial investment income.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

e. Pay policy for key management personnel

The salaries for the two executives of the Community may be adjusted annually in line with the pay scales set for the college sector.

f. Financial risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

The Trustees, having laid out plans for promoting the work for the eradication of modern day slavery, continue to ensure the stability of these ventures through sound financial management.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The Community of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is 357 Desborough Avenue, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP11 2TH

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The Community of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

d) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

e) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Grant payable

Grants which have been authorised and paid are included as expenditure in the statement of financial activities. Grants which have been authorised but not yet paid are accrued in the balance sheet and are included within creditors falling due within one year or after one year (as appropriate).

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

h) Allocation of support and governance costs

ities based on the proportion of cost as follows:
2024 2023
Raising funds 2.4% 1.9%
Charitable activities 97.6% 98.1%

i) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Property

50 years

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.

The charity owns mixed use property, which is held for a combination of charitable use and investment purposes. Where mixed use property can be separated between investment property and tangible fixed assets the resulting portions are classified separately under these headings. When the components cannot be reliably split the property is classified as a tangible fixed asset.

j) Listed investments

Listed investments traded on a recognised stock exchange are stated at fair value at the reporting date, which is deemed to be their market value. Any gain or loss, whether realised or unrealised, is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

k) Investment property

Investment property is property (land or a building, or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Investment property is subsequently measured at fair value the reporting date. This method of valuation applies to all the charitable company’s investment properties.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in net movement in funds on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they arise.

l) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

The Community of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

m) Current asset investments

Current asset investments consist of 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.

n) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

o) Creditors

Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

p) 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 recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

q) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

Depreciation

As described in note 1i to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.

Investment properties

The valuation is of investment property is deemed to be the market value of the property, as determined by a RICS registered surveyor.
