Community Chaplains Report of Trustees 2021/22
Registered Charity: 1175773
The Trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Community Chaplains (“ the Charity ”) for the year ended 30 July 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2015 (FRS102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard 102. The legal and administrative information set out earlier in this document forms part of this report.
Organisation
The Board of four Trustees administer the Charity. They formally meet twice annually, with informal operational contact approximately bi-monthly.
For the financial period to July 2022 the charity has been operational with 4 active chaplains (5 inactive) within the Borough of Richmond. The period relating to this report reflects significant lock down months due to Covid and the charity and its volunteers have been constrained in compliance with Covid rules during this period.
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks prior to any operational deployment.
The charity expenditure remains nominal and related to costs associated with affiliation, insurance, DBS checks, etc. No fundraising was required, with all expenditure met from reserves. Expenditure in this period was £425.06 leaving a balance of £34.8. The expenditure for 2022/23 has been considerably reduced because of the current lower levels of activity. Any expenditure in 2022/23 will be provided by the active chaplains.
Related Parties and cooperation with other organisations.
The Trustees are unpaid and receive no benefit from their work with the Charity. There is no relationship between any trustee and suppliers. No employees have been engaged. The Charity has continued good relationships with organisations indicating support including some local churches, the Metropolitan Police, Community Hubs, and other agencies.
