## **Community Chaplains Report of Trustees 2023/2024** 

## Registered Charity: **1175773** 

The Trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Community Chaplains (“ _the Charity_ ”) for the year ended 30 July 2024. 

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 three Trustees administer the Charity. They formally meet annually, with informal operational contact approximately quarterly. 

For the financial period to July 2024 the charity has been operational with 2 active chaplains (5 inactive) within the Borough of Richmond. 

Administrative changes have occurred during this year, as follows: 

- Andrew Bell ( **AB** ) has been added as an account holder to the charity bank account (Metro Bank) and replaced Bob Kimmerling ( **BK** ) as the main contact. **BK** remains a named account holder and trustee 

- **AB** has replaced **BK** as the chair of trustees and named contact on behalf of the Community Chaplains charity to the Charity Commission. Commensurate changes have been made to the Community Chaplains charity details on the Charity Commission website 

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. 

Due to the low level of activity, the charity expenditure was zero. This was a result of cancelling nonessential costs associated with institutional affiliation, insurance, DBS checks, etc. No fundraising was carried out. The charity has a balance of £34.80. 

The small expenditure on website hosting and domain name registration in 2023/24 was provided from personal funds 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, Aston Lodge Nursing Home (Sunbury), and other agencies. 

## **Activity and Public Benefit** 

No new recruitment or training has occurred. 

Activities include: 

- Weekly visits to the Ashton Lodge Nursing home in Sunbury, UK. Providing a befriending service for the residents as well as (where requested) prayer and spiritual conversations for the distressing situations found (dementia, cancer, depression, frustration, loneliness, etc.). 

This service has been very well received and is, increasingly, being used by the caring staff as well. 

## **Our Mission** 

Our mission is to establish a voluntary Community Chaplaincy supporting and strengthening local community, principally and initially in the borough of Richmond and adjacent boroughs.

## **Our Support** 

Local churches ecumenically have supported the inception of Community Chaplains, together with expressions of support from the Metropolitan Police, and local agencies which include the NHS and third sector organisations. 

## **Staff and Volunteers** 

The trustees continue with the same three volunteers. There are two active chaplains. 

No staff have been employed. 

## **Donors** 

New donors were not sought during the year.
