Trustees’ report Period to 31 December 2021
The trustees present their report together with the accounts of the Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) (the “charity” or the “CIO”) for the year to 31 December 2021.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 28 to 33 of the attached accounts and comply with the charity’s Constitution, applicable laws, applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and the requirements of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Introduction
“ All are welcome in this place …”
The Harnhill Centre was founded by, and operated in accordance with, a Deed of Trust dated 14 June 1985. It continued to operate under the Deed of Trust until 31 December 2017 when its activities, assets and liabilities were transferred to the CIO.
The original vision for the establishment of a centre for Christian healing was that of the late Canon Arthur Dodds. In 1985 the 17[th] Century Manor House with a Barn, outbuildings and stables was still in use as a working farm. Arthur had been an Officer in the Royal Air Force who was shot down over the Western Desert in 1942, when he responded to a call by God to train for ministry in the Anglican Church. He was taken prisoner and moved to Italy from whence he subsequently escaped. His story is recounted in a book entitled Desert Harvest and published by Dianthus Publishing Limited.
The house, barn, out-buildings, and some land were acquired by the Trust in 1985. Farm land not needed by the Centre was sold and is now privately owned. As funds have become available, the Grade II listed buildings have been extensively modernised, refurbished and adapted within the limits of planning permission to provide for a residential community, residential accommodation for guests together with a conference facility and refectory in the Barn. The latter is used mainly for services and what was originally stabling now provides rooms for prayer ministry.

Public benefit
The trustees carefully consider the legal requirement to demonstrate public benefit and the Charity Commission guidance about public benefit and faith charities. They are satisfied that the activities of the Centre demonstrate wide public benefit through the public worship services, offering of residential ministry, the principle that no-one is refused help and support, the offering of bursary funding for those in need, the outreach of the centre through its ministry which seeks to strengthen links with local and national organisations, its teaching, and the positive Christian influence felt by those who visit the centre and take this with them into the wider communities in which they live.
As in 2020, the Centre’s activities were curtailed by closure due to Covid-19, such as public services and the closure of the Centre for hospitality during times of lockdown. However, the commitment of staff and trustees enabled the ministry of the Centre to be continued in different ways from those offered when it could be open. Ministry was delivered online and by telephone, along with continued teaching and intercessory prayer. Podcasts enabled us to remain in contact with our wider network and share the Centre’s activities. And making use of the charity’s buildings to support those in need because of Covid-19 were actively pursued which enhanced the contribution the charity was making for public benefit during this time. When legal to do so, the Centre re-opened with careful provision for the safety of all.
From our Retiring Bookings Secretary after 20 years of service to Harnhill… During the whole of my time at Harnhill I met so many people, from so many different walks of life, all of whom enriched my ministry at the Centre. I am so grateful for this, and I will hold all those treasured memories close to my heart. Thank you so very much.
Voluntary assistance
The Centre is heavily dependent upon a wide network of volunteers who give of their time and expertise in the furtherance of the charity’s objects. Volunteers support the ministry and spiritual life of the Centre, its operational life, and its leadership. The trustees wish to thank all who give so generously of their time, without such support the Centre would find it difficult to provide the scope of ministry that it is currently able to provide.
The Centre could not have been sustained without continued support once open again from May 2021, and the ongoing spiritual support of its intercessory prayer team throughout the year.

Achievements and performance
As mentioned earlier, normal activities were disrupted during the year, as in 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of which has been felt throughout the world and in many areas of our lives. This impact inevitably touched Harnhill too with the government led lockdowns and closure of the hospitality industry. It may have changed the way in which we have been able to deliver our ministry for part of the year, but it did not prevent our ministry being received by many across the country.

From our Guests…
God has given me a new peace and helped me
to put the past behind me. I am letting go of old
hurts, feelings, and habits with God’s help this
will continue. This has been a significant
moment in my life. I feel I can move forward
from the past in a positive way. (GM)

Immediate Impact of Covid-19
The Centre was closed from the beginning of January until 17 May 2021 when our doors were open once more and the first residential guests arrived on 18 May 2021. Operational staff remained on furlough / flexible furlough under the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme until the scheme ended, with the Community and financial staff continuing to work. The pressure on staff continuing to work was substantial, and the reintegration into the workplace for some furloughed staff was hard for them. The impact on the Centre’s team whether working or not, should not be underestimated.
As in 2020, some of our routine events and activities could not take place. Public worship services were suspended and did not resume until 26 April 2021, following which we facilitated an online bookings system to ensure numbers were controlled and social distancing could be maintained. It was a great joy to see people gradually venture out and participate in shared worship once again.
Covid-19 also impacted the planned opening of what was to be a Wellbeing Café, delaying it until late 2021 and into 2022.
Overall, income was lower than budget by 2.6%, which in a time of adversity is a testament to the support received from donors and benefactors, and a reflection of the high regard in which Harnhill is held and the value placed upon its work and ministry.
As a direct consequence of extended Covid-19 closure, residential fee income at £75k was 45% below budget, which, when set, did not project such prolonged closure. Income in this area was down just under 7% on 2020. These two years are in marked contrast to income from charitable activities prior to Covid-19 when residential and day guest revenue was £188.5k (2019).

Immediate Impact of Covid-19 (continued)
The charity was able to benefit, not only from the furlough scheme, but also the government Covid-19 grants. These contributed to bridging the charitable activities revenue shortfall by just over £54k.
The chart above shows the changing pattern of revenue spanning the pre-Covid-19 period of 2019, and the two years affected by Covid-19 for 2020 and 2021. While the chart below plots the impact of closure for 2020 and 2021, most notably showing the periods of closure and substantial impact of having to issue refunds in the first months of 2021.
Tight control of expenditure and a 50% reduction in direct costs resulted in expenditure being 26.5% lower than budget. The Centre has therefore ended the year with a surplus exceeding expectations aided by the generosity of its supporters, government funding and the very generous legacies of six benefactors without which we would not have come through Covid-19 so securely.

Immediate Impact of Covid-19 (continued)
As previously mentioned, the Centre continued to offer its online ministry during closure and responded to enquires for retreats and hopes for reopening and resuming public worship. The series of monthly podcasts continued, being shared with the Friends of Harnhill via our monthly e-newsletter and via the website, keeping Harnhill in touch with its wider community both known and unknown and maintaining a spiritual presence and ministry to all who listened to them. The last podcast was recorded at the end of October 2021.
Worship and ministry
The heart of Harnhill is centred on its healing ministry, be it to those who visit or to the wider public who are touched by the spirit and culture of the Centre by whichever means they encounter it. We have mentioned the online ministry and the podcasts, and during 2021 we were pleased to be able to produce two further editions of the Harvest magazine, one in Spring and the other a Winter
edition. This is sent either electronically or in hard copy to all Friends of Harnhill, some 420 supporters along with a prayer diary. It is also available to all on the Centre’s website and freely available to visitors and volunteers in hardcopy. The Harvest has proved to be so successful that a further print-run was needed, and numbers now exceed 700 a year.
Despite being closed for four and a half months, the Centre increased its reach and extended ministry to 122 bookings from new enquirers, or groups using the Centre’s facilities in the period July to December. The majority of these experienced either a less formal residential personal retreat or attended the more structured Walking into your Healing residential stays.
During 2021, guests were welcomed from some 45 counties across the country (coloured green on the map) with less than 20% of guest coming from Gloucestershire itself. This demonstrates the geographic spread of our ministry, the demand and also the scale of opportunity which exists for it.

Achievements and performance (continued)
Worship and ministry (continued)
The revised programme continued throughout 2021 and into 2022. This programme, although made in response to coping with Covid-19 restrictions and the consequent availability of volunteers, has provided more space for guests in a physical, mental, and spiritual context, while still providing the care, refreshment and ministry opportunities afforded in the past. It has continued to be very well received, and it is felt, offers something which guests seek which the previous structured programme did not offer.
Personal retreats allow guests time to ‘be’, time to share in worship with the Community, enjoy hospitality, receive ministry, and receive the peace and tranquillity which is part of the restoring experience of being at Harnhill.
Walking into your Healing includes biblical meditation and teaching and time for reflection and has been developed for those who are beginning their healing journey or feel that they need a fresh start. Through structured teaching, looking at focussing on God and how through his grace healing can be experienced, guests are equipped to understand how to undertake their own healing journey. It is a time of sharing their experiences, traumas, wounds, in a safe and non-judgmental space through which they are enabled to receive God’s healing, as well as providing an opportunity to join in with the Centre's Way of Life which involves shared worship, teaching and meals.
We have been privileged to be able to offer support to key workers, for whom bursary funding has been made available.

From our Guests…
I came to Harnhill feeling emotionally and spiritually flat. After the first night
just felt so much better, and things just improved as the week went
on. (KH)
A wonderful place to share, replenish and renew with others whose lives
and actions are to the Glory of God. (DP)
He has restored my tired soul, body and especially mind, and blessed me with
signs of his nearness so specific to me. I felt very dry spiritually on my arrival
but now feel refreshed and ready to walk down the next part of my journey with
my Heavenly Father. (JCS)

Achievements and performance (continued)
Worship and ministry (continued)
All guests are offered the opportunity to provide feedback from their stay and this is used to inform both the programme for the subsequent year but also to enable us to continually improve what we offer and how we do it. Some of the ways in which guests expressed healing whether physical, emotional, spiritual, in relationships, or of the mind, included feeling a sense of release from past hurts, shame, trauma and pain; healing from bereavement, physical healing, restoration of wellbeing and experiencing both spiritual and emotional restoration.
Throughout the year, the Community continued its prayerful presence, maintaining the rhythm of prayer three times a day throughout the week which is a central theme in the Community’s developing Way of Life . This provides each community member with an opportunity to deepen their own faith and Christian journey and develop their spiritual relationship with God, while also strengthening the charism of the Community as a whole, which by extension touches the guests who share these times of prayer with the Community, along with the public worship services and Compline, an office held at the end of the day twice a week for guests and the local community around Harnhill.
The Centre has also started to provide public worship on a Sunday morning, either at the Centre or the small church of St Michael and All Angels next to the Centre (by kind permission of the Reverend Canon John Swanton Team Rector of the South Cotswolds Team Ministry).
External use of buildings and facilities
One of the objectives for 2021 was to increase the wider use of the Centre’s conference and house facilities. Although plans to develop this were also set back by Covid-19, the developing relationship with the Diocese resulted in their using the facilities for team events, and in total we received 16 bookings between May 2021 and December 2021 from various organisations which include the Cotswold District Council, Armed Forces Christian Union, Christian Arts Festival, Marlborough Anglican Team, and various Church groups both from within the country and beyond.
A considerable amount of time and discernment was given to exploring opportunities with the Diocese of Gloucester for joint funding of a market garden project using Harnhill’s land and incorporating that opportunity alongside our ministry to guests with the shared appointment of an additional member of the Ministry Team to oversee it and incorporate a practical demonstration of Harnhill’s eco values into its ministry. After a number of meetings, the Diocese withdrew from funding the appointment. This coincided with the adjoining farm establishing their own market garden scheme and although opportunities exist for Harnhill to collaborate with them in some way, it was decided that this was not now a viable option for the Centre to pursue.

External use of buildings and facilities (continued)
In addition to other engagements, Kate Picot, the Director of the Centre remained part of the advisory group established by the Bishop of Gloucester for the Ministry of Healing and Wholeness in 2021 continuing their work in this area.
Grants received
The charity benefited from the second of a three-phase unrestricted grant in the year amounting to £15,000. Two further grants were secured, one unrestricted of £3,000 and another restricted of £20,000. The latter is the first of a three-phase grant secured to meet the salary costs of two of the Ministry Team for three years from 2022. It has been an aspiration of the trustees for two years to secure funding specifically to underpin the Ministry of the Centre while other activities are pursued to build up funding streams which will ensure the Centre becomes less dependent upon donation revenue and its core ministry and buildings are adequately funded.
Financial review
Results for the financial period
A summary of the results of the year to 31 December 2021 can be found on page 25 of this report and accounts. The comparative results represent the year to 31 December 2020.
Total income amounted to £484,419 (2020: £483,360). Of the income, £356,947 (2020: £295,045) was received by way of donations and legacies. Income from listed investments amounted to £684 (2020: £nil).

Reserves policy
The reserves policy has been comprehensively reviewed following 2021 taking into consideration the impact of Covid, the financial results for the year and the needs of the Centre in 2022 and beyond.
This policy sets out Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing’s approach to reserves, the level of reserves the trustees think are appropriate and sets out the justifications for their approach.
In considering the level of reserves the trustees have taken three core needs into account:
-
Provision of a level of working capital that protects the continuity of our ministry work;
-
Provision of a level of funding which can be used to take advantage of unexpected opportunities; and
-
Provision of cover for risks such as unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income.
The core ministry of the Centre is bringing the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to all who visit the Centre by providing prayer ministry through residential retreats and individual ministry appointments, organising, and running training courses on Christian healing, wellbeing, and wholeness, and offering Christian services to the public.
Delivery of the core ministry activities costs approximately £246k per annum. This excludes overheads pertaining to property and administration. Property related costs amount to approximately £63k with other overheads of £81k, giving a monthly outlay of £32.6k. The charity is subject to some seasonality in the pattern of income generation with January being a particularly lean month and the charity closes the house for two weeks in the year to facilitate necessary maintenance.
In seeking to protect the core work of the charity, and in a climate where small charities, and in particular faith charities, may often struggle to obtain external funding through grants or bursaries, the trustees believe that it is important to consider the composition of the charity’s funding sources, noting particularly the various sources of income.
In 2021 the charity’s income amounted to £484k compared with £483k in 2020. Of this 74% (£357k) (2020: 61% (£295k)) was generated from donations and legacies, 18% (£89k) (2020: 17% (£83k)) from charitable activities and 8% (£38k) (2020: 22% (£105k)) from trading or other sources which included £28k of income from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (2021: £96k).
The income raised through charitable activities is subject to external influences which could have a catastrophic consequence on income generation when, as arose with Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021, activities must temporarily cease.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing 13
Trustees’ report Period to 31 December 2021
Financial review (continued)
Reserves policy (continued)
The charity wishes to secure an element of resourcing to take advantage of opportunities which may present themselves, without which, it could be hindered in pursuing new openings which could help to financially strengthen the funding of core activities.
A key challenge for the trustees is ongoing income generation to make delivery of the core ministry more financially sustainable based upon secure funding. Ideas are continually explored which would put the charity’s asset in the form of land and buildings to more purposeful use to generate income. However, no new opportunities can be exploited without investment.
Based on the trustees’ current assessment, it is thought prudent to establish reserves as follows:
| Provision of working capital | 7 months @ £311k/12 | £181,417 |
|---|---|---|
| Risk mitigation | 12 weeks @ £81k/52 | £18,700 |
| Capital for activities investment | £25,000 | |
| Total reserves | £225,117 |
The trustees have revised the reserves policy, giving regard to the current economic landscape. Taking this into consideration, along with the impact of Covid-19 on both income and expenditure over the two years to 31 December 2021, the trustees recommend setting the reserves figure at £225,000. The trustees are aware that this figure may not always be achievable or sustainable. However, it is the aspiration of the trustees to secure and maintain this figure over the next two years and to put what measures in place may be possible to improve both the level of income generated and in particular to increase the percentage of secure income while closely controlling costs.
This policy will be reviewed annually.
The free reserves of the charity as at 31 December 2021 were £247,839 (2020: £215,890) and this equated to 33 weeks of operational expenditure. This level is slightly higher than that required under the above policy but arises as a result of the significant legacies received during 2021. Further, a significant expense is anticipated in 2022 for maintenance of the property. The trustees consider that policies are in place which will maintain reserves at an adequate level given the current macro-economic crisis and war in Ukraine.
The assets of the charity are all held to assist in the objectives of the charity and are considered by the trustees to be adequate to meet its ongoing requirements.

Investment Policy
The Centre established an investment policy following the investment of reserves for the first time in the charity’s history in 2021. The policy sets out the investment powers of the CIO, the investment objectives being:
-
a) The overall policy is to maximise total return through a diversified portfolio.
-
b) Harnhill seeks to produce the best income generating financial return within an acceptable level of risk and taking into account ethical principles.
-
c) The investment objectives for the long-term reserves are to generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating income to support the ongoing activities of the charity.
-
d) The objective for the short-term reserves which are held on deposit is to maintain capital value as far as possible with a minimum risk and readily available funds.
The policy also sets out the level of risk tolerance acceptable, defining it as:
A medium-low risk class is sought for investment of reserves ensuring a level of dividend surety through a period of poor market conditions. The primary long-term risk is inflation. This should be reflected in the risk profile adopted under the guidance of any appointed investment managers.
Also defined in the policy is the liquidity requirement and benchmark parameters.
In terms of Ethical Investment, the trustees seek to ensure an ethical approach to investment of reserves in line with the Church of England’s policy. Investments are therefore held within common investment funds managed by CCLA, in particular the CBF Investment Fund. The Fund is managed in accordance with the policies of the Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group (EIAG) which can be found here: Policies and reviews | The Church of England
Plans for the future
The trustees are aware that the impact of Covid-19 will remain into 2022. It will be necessary to have a time of consolidation as the activities of the Centre return to a more normal pattern, to reconnect with volunteers and assess what impact Covid-19 has had on that support base, which may impact on both the Ministry Team and activities, and to rebuild confidence in those who are vulnerable among its beneficiaries.
However, the general plans are to:
-
Continue to hold public Christian services.
-
Continue to review the strategy and policy for the future development of the work of the charity as a provider of services to the wider church and public and developing our outreach.

make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions with reasonable accuracy and disclose at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the relevant Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the charity’s Constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Risk management
The trustees undertake a comprehensive review of risk management annually in addition to considering risk in the implementation and monitoring of its strategy throughout the year.
External risks to funding are considered each year when preparing their plans for the forthcoming year and agreeing longer term strategies. The renewed focus of the marketing committee is expected to have a positive impact on revenue streams. Insurable risks are covered by policies subject to annual review in consultation with relevant professional advisers and which the trustees consider to be adequate. Following review in 2021, Business Interruption cover was reassessed and cover increased.
The areas of highest risk include:
-
loss of key staff;
-
disaster recovery planning (following the experience of Covid-19);
-
computer failure and the implications operationally;

Governance, structure, management, and relevant policies (continued)
Risk management (continued)
-
risks associated with ministering to those living with mental health difficulties; and
-
reputational risk and loss of donors and core supporters.
By way of mitigation in 2022, the IT review has been completed and will now proceed to recommended upgrades being funded; the Centre’s safeguarding policy and procedures underwent a full review at the end of 2021 and a new policy was approved for 2022.
Loss of key staff remained a concern. Planned restructuring was hindered by Covid-19 but will be pursued in 2022 with a view to reduce the consequence of dependency.
Structure and management reporting
The trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities, and assets of the charity. They meet regularly to review developments concerning the charity or its activities and make any important decisions. All policies have been reviewed and updated as necessary including the Centre’s volunteer confidentiality agreement, complaints policy, booking conditions, and new policies adopted for redundancy and investment.
Day to day management of the Centre, is delegated to Revd Kate Picot, the Director, who is responsible for the spiritual leadership of the Community and staff; fulfilment of the Centre’s ministry; for operational matters including personnel, health, and safety; and also for appointing staff to lead in all the elements essential for the efficiency and smooth running of the Centre. The director has no executive authority but liaises with the trustees on all subjects of importance. Revd Picot is supported by a mixed fulltime and part time team of 15 members of staff. She, together with the Bursar and external professional experts, advises the trustees as to their legal and fiscal responsibilities and duties and provides training in these matters.
The Director reports directly to the trustees. Trustees, members of the community and volunteers are encouraged to ensure they have the support of their own churches and where relevant to have their own independent spiritual director. Revd Kate Picot has been licenced by the Bishop to officiate within the Diocese of Gloucester, leads occasional parish services and has access to Diocesan support given to all local clergy.
At least six trustees’ meetings are held during the year, more during times of crisis (Covid19). The trustees have established a Marketing Committee, Estates Committee and a Finance Committee to advise them on matters relating to the buildings and finances of the charity. The Finance Committee meets during the year to review and make recommendations concerning the financial control of the charity’s resources and assets. Management accounts are reviewed against budget. Investments are held with CCLA in the CBF Investment Fund.

Structure and management reporting (continued)
The trustees extend their grateful thanks to all those who serve on sub-committees contributing their skills to the benefit of the Centre.
Key management personnel
The trustees comprise key management personnel but receive no remuneration for their duties. The Director of the Centre is the only staff member undertaking a key management function. Her salary is reviewed annually by the trustees using a variety of criteria including benchmarking to similar roles elsewhere.
Fundraising policy
The charity aims to achieve best practice in the way in which it communicates with donors and other supporters. Great care is taken with both the tone of communications and the accuracy of data to minimise the pressures on supporters. Best practice is followed to protect supporters’ personal information and never sells or swaps data and ensures that communication preferences can be changed at any time. The charity manages its own fundraising activities and does not employ the services of professional fundraisers. The charity undertakes to react to and investigate any complaints regarding its fundraising activities and to learn from them and improve its service. During the year, the charity received no complaints about its fundraising activities.

Independent auditor’s report Period to 31 December 2021
Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing
Opinion
We have audited the accounts of Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing (the ‘charity’) for the year to 31 December 2021, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the accounts, 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).
In our opinion, the accounts:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its income and expenditure 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including the FRC’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
In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the accounts are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent auditor’s report Period to 31 December 2021
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report and Accounts, other than the accounts and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts, 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 accounts 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 in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 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 accounts; or
-
sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the accounts, 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.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing 21
Independent auditor’s report Period to 31 December 2021
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 accounts.
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.
How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities, and skills to identify or recognise noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and from our knowledge and experience of the charity sector;
-
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the accounts or the activities of the charity. These included but were not limited to the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019); and
-
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of the Bursar and representatives of those charged with governance and review of minutes of trustees’ meetings.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
Making enquiries of the Bursar and representatives of those charged with governance as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected, and alleged fraud; and
-
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing 22
Independent auditor’s report Period to 31 December 2021
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts (continued)
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
Tested and reviewed journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
Carriedout substantive testing of expenditure including the authorisation thereof;
-
Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
Reading the minutes of meetings of trustees; and
-
Enquiring of as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing Standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
We did not identify any irregularities, including fraud.
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 auditor’s report.

Principal accounting policies Year to 31 December 2021
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 31 December 2021 with comparatives provided in respect to the year end 31 December 2020.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where judgements and estimates have been made include:
-
estimating the useful economic lives attributed to tangible fixed assets and used to determine the annual depreciation charge;
-
assessing the probability of the receipt of legacy income;
-
assessing the quantum of key accruals; and
-
estimating the future income and expenditure flows of the charity for the purposes of assessing going concern.
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The most significant areas of judgement that affect items in the accounts are detailed above.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing
28
Principal accounting policies Year to 31 December 2021
Assessment of going concern (continued)
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income comprises donations, legacies, income from sundry trading activities, income from charitable activities (residential and course fees) and income from sundry sources. During the year, the charity was also in receipt of the net assets transferred from its predecessor charity.
Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102 volunteer time is not recognised.
Investment income is recognised once the dividend or equivalent has been declared and notification has been received of the amount due.
Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the legacy, the executors have established that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the control of the charity.
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 to the charity 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, but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash, or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title of the asset having been transferred to the charity.
Income from other trading activities comprises, in the main, income from the sale of CDs, tapes and books. It is accounted for on an accruals basis with the income being recognised when the sale is made.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing
29
Principal accounting policies Year to 31 December 2021
Income recognition (continued)
Income from charitable activities comprises residential fees and course fees. Such income is recognised when the charity is entitled to receipt under the relevant contractual agreements. This is usually at the point at which the residential stay commences, or the course starts.
Income from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Covid Small Business Grants is credited to the statement of financial activities when the receipt of such funds is probable, it is clear the charity has entitlement to the income and the amount receivable can be quantified.
Other miscellaneous income is measured at fair value and accounted for on an accruals basis.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment 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.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. The majority of expenditure is directly attributable and any apportionment between headings is negligible.
Expenditure on raising funds includes the cost of generating voluntary income and the costs associated with sundry trading activities. Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities.
All expenditure is stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Governance costs
Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice. All governance costs are allocated to the charitable expenditure.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing
30
Principal accounting policies Year to 31 December 2021
Tangible fixed assets
All assets costing more than £1,000 and with an expected useful life exceeding one year are capitalised.
- 1 Freehold property
The charity’s freehold property is stated at cost. It is likely that the open market values of certain of the charity’s land and buildings are materially greater than their book values. The amount of such differences cannot be ascertained without incurring significant costs, which, in the opinion of trustees, is not justified in terms of the benefit to the users of the accounts.
The freehold property is historic, and it is approximately 400 years old, with later additions. It is used in its entirety for direct charitable purposes including residential and retreat accommodation, with the exception of two offices that the charity uses for administration purposes. The freehold property has not been depreciated on the basis that the net realisable value of the building and associated land is deemed to be higher than its net book value and regular impairment reviews are carried out. Improvements to the interior of the freehold property (including the refurbished kitchen) are depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years.
- 2 Furniture and equipment
Expenditure on the purchase and replacement of furniture and domestic equipment is capitalised and depreciated over a ten-year period on a straight-line basis.
-
3 Motor vehicles
-
Motor vehicles are capitalised and depreciated over a four-year period, on a straightline basis, in order to write off the cost of each vehicle over its estimated useful life.
Investments
Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.
The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives, or other complex financial instruments.
As noted above, the main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Realised gains (or losses) on investment assets are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value at that date. Realised and unrealised investment gains (or losses) are combined in the statement of financial activities and are credited (or debited) in the year in which they arise.
Harnhill Centre of Christian Healing
31
Principal accounting policies Year to 31 December 2021
Stocks
Stocks and items for resale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than three months but less than one year are disclosed as short-term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.
Funds structure
The charity’s funds include unrestricted income funds which are available for application towards the charity’s objectives. Within unrestricted funds the trustees have identified those non-liquid funds represented by tangible fixed assets.
The charity’s funds include restricted funds also which comprise monies raised for, or their use restricted to, a specific purpose or monies subject to donor-imposed restrictions in use.
Details of all funds are given in the notes to the accounts.
Pensions
The charity offers its employees membership of a group personal pension plan operated by Aegon.

It is likely that the open market values of certain of the charity’s land and buildings are materially greater than their book values. The amount of such differences cannot be ascertained without incurring significant costs, which, in the opinion of trustees, is not justified in terms of the benefit to the users of the accounts.

11 Tangible fixed assets (continued)
The freehold property is historic, and it is approximately 400 years old, with later additions. It is used in its entirety for direct charitable purposes including accommodation, with the exception of two offices that the charity uses for administration purposes. The freehold property has not been depreciated on the basis that the net realisable value of the building and associated land is deemed to be higher than its net book value. Improvements to the interior of the freehold property (including the refurbished kitchen) are depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years.
The net book value of furniture and equipment comprises £3,629 (2020: £4,147) relating to assets held under hire purchase/finance lease agreements. The depreciation charge to the accounts in the year in respect of such assets amounted to £518 (2020: £518).

The tangible fixed assets fund represents the net book value of the charity’s tangible fixed assets. A decision was made to separate this fund from the general fund and other designated funds of the charity in recognition of the fact that the tangible fixed assets are essential to the day-to-day work of the charity and as such their value should not be regarded as funds that would be realisable with ease, in order to meet future contingencies.
