Mr Alastair Ure Reid (Chair). Dr Clive Morton (Vice Chair). Mrs Mary Hanna, Mr Thak Patel, Mr Michael Page. Cambridge Workplace Chaplaincy operates as a CIO Charity Registration Number: 1175654 Aims and Objectives Developing workplace chaplaincy services Promoting the nature and value of chaplaincy in the workplace Supporting all in need in the workplace Supporting chaplains The charity will operate primarily within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Developing workplace chaplaincy services This part of our work has centred round: The monthly newsletter and prayer diary. Content and engagement with chaplaincy/ wellbeing activity continues to be developed. Regular meetings. Our first meeting post covid was not well attended therefore we sought to explore ways of engaging more successfully with our core chaplains and supporters. Promoting the nature and value of chaplaincy in the workplace Targeted publicity continues to be very important, the challenges as referred to in last year's report continues to challenge. Our relationships with the Chamber of Commerce and The Federation of Small Businesses in addition to the businesses and organisations with which we are actively in touch, continues to develop. We continue to develop our online presence with meaningful results. We now feel very embedded in the technology space but recognise that face to face is still very important. Our supporters, chaplains and interested individuals and organisations, numbering c220, receive regular updates and as said above, are sent our monthly newsletter and prayer diary which has developed into a considerable resource. We met with a number of organisations on a speculative basis, to explore common ground. Engaging with all denominational leaders and 'Churches Together,, in addition to the Ministry Teams in Ely and Peterborough Dioceses has proved valuable, the results of which will start to show progress in 2024. Our patrons support as and when they are able.
Supporting all in need in the workplace As in 2021-2022 there is no change. This remains a primary activity, we listen and help everyone regardless of faith or no faith wherever possible. We developed a number of online resources, the most notable being a Wellbeing Hub and produced and facilitated a number of training sessions, including support for the self employed, engaging with HR professionals, support for business owners and managers and our course titled 'Stop Suicide,. Particular attention has been given to thinking about how society might emerge from the lockdown. A paper was prepared by two trustees concerning the impact of the many losses people will have felt during lockdown. This has found quite wide circulation amongst ministers in Cambridgeshire. This theme was also explored in a session with the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, another paper about the pros and cons of "hybrid working" has been made available. Supporting chaplains And again as for 2021-2022, supporting Chaplains is one of the primary reasons why CWC exists. The Trustees continue to explore new and innovative ways that ensure the health and wellbeing of our chaplains, this has now been broadened to individual email and telephone interaction for those who wish it. We have commissioned services within the Peterborough and Ely Diocese to celebrate and recognise the role of workplace chaplains which has been attended by our network and wider chaplains e.g. street pastor teams and partner organisations in Peterborough. Strategic Goals These continue to be: Developing relationships with and amongst chaplains Productive engagement with supporting bodies (faith groups, church leaders, Chamber of Commerce, Professional Organisations etc Establishing Training Opportunities for Chaplains In addition, we recognise that the workplace for many is a very different experience. Returning employees to a workplace are showing various levels of concern as businesses plan and implement practices for the future. We are very conscious of the mental health issues which are manifesting themselves. We feel a role of 'thought leaders, in this area is vital for the benefit of this community. We will continue to develop and add content to our Workplace Wellbeing Hub website. Engaging with denominational leaders Being active with WCM, the national organisation for workplace chaplains. To conclude The Trustees meet regularly to develop the work of CWC and, as indicated above, are actively seeking to extend the reach of chaplaincy in the workplace and be much proactive in the wider community. I cannot thank the Trustees enough for their dedication and activity throughout the year. Signed: Alastair Ure Reid (Chair)
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE WORKPLACE CHAPLAINCY ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Name: Signed: Date:
