## **WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

Most of the properties from which the Trust operates are owned by  the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia. The use of these properties was granted to the Trust rent-free. 

## **Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees** 

All  the current trustees are first trustees who,  with the exception of the Bishop and the appointed trustee, retired from office in accordance the articles of association on 24 June 2022. 

New trustees will be provided with an 'Induction Pack' covering such topics as legal status and governance, structure, organisation and staffing, governance, policy, and strategy. They will also be invited to participate in each of the Shrine activities and to visit all of the charities premises so that they have a good understanding of the life of the Shrine. 

## **OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objects** 

The objects of the charity are: 

- a) the advancement of the Catholic religion anywhere in the world; b) the relief of poverty anywhere in the world; and 

- c) to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time. 

## **Activities** 

In order to further the objects noted above, the primary areas of activity in 2021 were the Shrine,  a  hostel,  a  retreat  centre,  a  tearoom,  a  shop  selling  religious  artefacts,  and  the Walsingham Association which supports the work of the Trust. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **The support of the Faithful** 

We thank all for supporting the work of the Shrine spiritually and materially this last year.  The pandemic has continued to place incredible pressures on individuals, charities, businesses and governments  round  the  world  and  we  would  like  to  express  our  appreciation  to  all  who contributed to the work of the Trust in this time.  Your prayerful support, letters, emails, Facebook posts, tweets, cheques, online donations, and in-person donations have been of great encouragement to staff and volunteers at the Trust and enabled the Trust to weather the pandemic.  In particular we would like to express our thanks to all who have given generously in so many different ways and especially all who responded to the various appeals. 

## **Impact of and response to COVID-19 pandemic** 

3 



In 2021, most organised pilgrimages to the Shrine were cancelled or were broadcast as virtual pilgrimages owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Whilst regular daily services were held during the year a reduced number of people visited the Shrine in person. 

As  restrictions  continued  in  2021,  the  Shrine  complied  with  government  guidelines  and accommodation  and  day  pilgrim  numbers  were  restricted.  The  Trust  continued  with  its livestream  provision  offering a 24/7  programme comprising three daily  Masses,  the  Daily Office, engaging talks, an online retreat, afternoon devotions and virtual pilgrimages in various formats.   Significant  expenditure  with  respect  to  the  Shrine’s  livestream  platform  has continued, this has improved the reliability and quality of the offering. We are most grateful to all who responded to the Livestream and Technology Appeals which raised £19,973. 

Over the course of the year the majority of staff were placed on full-time or flexible furlough leave owing to the pandemic. £172,372 was claimed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and other government grants which secured jobs for staff.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **The Greyfriars** 

The Trust continues to receive the support from the Order of Friars Minor Conventual of Great Britain and Ireland through three priests based in a friary in Walsingham.  The priests work as chaplains in Walsingham supporting the Rector in the liturgy, ministering the Sacraments, and engaging with pilgrims both at the Shrine site and in the village.  During the first phase of lockdown they shared their Daily Office through livestream. 

## **The Community of Our Lady of Walsingham** 

Sisters of the Community of Our Lady of Walsingham have continued to support the work of the Shrine through their prayerful presence at Dowry House and leading retreats in person and on zoom.  The sisters have supported the Shrine’s 24/7 livestream by offering morning and evening prayer and by continuing to welcoming pilgrims to Dowry House. 

## **Other Clergy, Religious and Volunteers** 

The Trust has been blessed to receive support from clergy, religious and the volunteers from the local community and further afield including the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, Mater Ecclesiae, and St Michael’s Security who have assisted in a variety of capacities at the Shrine Site, in the village and beyond. 

## **Walsingham Association** 

The Trust is most grateful for the continued supported by the Walsingham Association which exists to foster devotion to Our Lady of Walsingham, and to support the Trust in other material ways.   In  2021  the  Association  raised  a  total  of  £29,946  (2020  £71,956)  for  the  Trust, comprising member subscriptions, proceeds from the Association’s Hundreds Club, proceeds from  the  Association’s  National  Draw,  donations  to  the  Shrine’s  Technology  Fund  and donations for a Holy Water Font.. 

## **EWTN GB** 

The Trust has continued to work closely with EWTN which continues to feature Walsingham in events streamed live across its global network and in many editions of its flagship video bulletin, Great Britain in Focus.  Through EWTN GB, the Shrine’s profile continues to be elevated on the international stage through the streaming of Shrine Masses to the global EWTN network. The Trust is most grateful to all involved. 

## **The Staf** 

The Trust’s ability to respond effectively to all of the challenges during the year would not have been possible without the calm confident creativity and innovation of clergy, religious, staff and volunteers and their willingness to adapt their roles and responsibilities in the face of changing guidelines and uncertainty about the future. 

4 



## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Trustees are conscious that the Charities Act 2011 emphasises the requirement that all charities must be able to demonstrate that their work is of direct benefit to the public.  The Trustees can confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity. 

The Shrine facilities and grounds in ordinary times are open to the public 365 days of the year, and fully used by the public throughout the Period and especially during the summer months. Pilgrims, tourists and others enjoy daily access to the fourteenth century Slipper Chapel, the modern Chapel of Reconciliation and other facilities. 

Modestly  priced,  good  quality  accommodation  ensures  that  residential  pilgrims  are  also catered for.  The Trust aims to provide for the spiritual and material needs of all groups and individuals. 

The work of the Trust is furthered, not only by employees, but also by volunteers from the local area and beyond. 

## **WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The charity’s total income in the period was £1,912,864 (2020 - £4,170,998).  Of this £781,460 (2020  –  £742,981)  related  to  unrestricted  donations,  £10,274  (2020  -  £29,447)  from unrestricted legacies. 

Charitable activities in the year generated £994,901 (2020 - £853,058) which consisted of £59,084 (2020 - £133,989) at the Shrine, £671,619 (2020 - £321,264) from the Shrine’s hostels and tea room, £237,169 (2020 – 205,879) from the Shrine’s retail outlets, £27,029 (2020 - £71,956) from the activities of the Walsingham Association and £0 (2020 - £119,970) from Development Activities. 

The net loss in the period was £175,636 (2020 - £2,194,319) of which £19,507 (2020 - £4,860) related to an operating surplus on General Funds, £257,464 (2020 - £2,199,699) to a net outflow on Designated Funds, and £62,321 (2020 - £10,240) to a net inflow on Restricted Funds.  The primary reason for the substantial outflow on Designated Fund in 2021 was depreciation on the designated Fixed Asset Funds.  The Fixed Asset Fund includes the property 47-49 High Street which was gifted to the Trust during 2020, and was valued at £2.4m. As it was a gift, no cash resources were expended in acquiring the property. 

Unrestricted funds decreased by £229,662 (2020 - £2,204,559 increase) and at year end stood at £3,382,170 (2020 - £3,611,472) and Restricted Funds stood at £50,004 (2020 - £4,022 negative). 

## **Reserves** 

General funds, being the charity’s free reserves, defined as the total unrestricted funds of the charity excluding any designated funds, including those funds tied up in fixed assets, stood at negative £68,864 (2020 – negative £88,731).  The Trustees designated a sum of £3,496,713 (2020 - £3,752,640) to represent amounts tied up in fixed assets. Restricted funds, being 

5 



unspent monies towards development, had a closing balance of £50,004 (2020 – negative £4,022). Within restricted funds the Shrine Development Fund shows a deficit of £100,024 as expenditure has been incurred in advance of the receipt of expected donations.  It is intended that funds will be raised once plans have been finalised and will cover this deficit. 

The Trustees’ target is to hold six months’ necessary expenditure in free reserves amounting to £1m. Although the financial circumstances of the Shrine mean that this target is not currently met, it is anticipated that it can be achieved within 5 years. Meanwhile, a £500,000 loan from the charity’s parent, CaTEW provides working capital and ensures that the charity is a going concern. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations, finances and COVID-19 threat to the Trust, and have ensured that risks are managed appropriately. 

## The principal risks identified are: 

- COVID-19 which has affected pilgrim and visitor numbers at the Shrine.  In response the Trust has increased its focus on its online liturgical programme which has drawn in many thousands of viewers over the lockdown period. 

- COVID-19 infection and the impact this would have on operations.  The Trust has followed HM Government and Bishops’ Conference Guidelines to minimise the risk of spread of infection. 

## **FUNDRAISING** 

The charity fundraises primarily from the public. It does not employ professional fundraisers. It does not put undue pressure or unreasonably intrude on anyone to make a gift. It does not raise funds through telephone fundraising or work with any agency to do so. If any donor does not wish to receive future communications from the Trust, they are excluded from future mailings.  It  occasionally  approaches  charitable  trusts  with  respect  to  specific  fundraising initiatives.  There were no complaints in the year with regard to fundraising. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The  Trustees  have considered the strategic  priorities with  respect  to development of  the Slipper Chapel site.  Over the course of the coming twelve months proposals will be developed in consultation with stakeholders.

## **WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of The Walsingham Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements  in  accordance  with  applicable  law  and  United  Kingdom  Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the  and of the surplus or deficit of the company, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time of the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as we are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and 

- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make them aware of any  relevant  audit  information  and  to  establish  that  the  auditor  is  aware  of  that information. 

## **Auditors** 

A resolution proposing that Haysmacintyre LLP be reappointed as auditors of the company has been passed by the Trustees. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

Approved  and  authorised  for  issue  by  the  Trustees  on  29[th] July  2022  and  signed  as authorised on their behalf by:

**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Walsingham Trust for the year ended 31 December 2020  which  comprise  the  Statement  of  Financial  Activities,  Balance  Sheet,  Statement  of Financial Activities and notes to the financial statements, 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 financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the 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 Companies Act 2006. 

## **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 financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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 financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements 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 [group/charitable company]'s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements 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. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements 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 financial statements 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. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

8 



- the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ report). 

9 



**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **WALSINGHAM TRUST (Continued)** 

We  have  nothing  to  report  in  respect  of  the  following  matters  in  relation  to  which  the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or 

- the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’  responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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  financial  statements  that  are  free  from  material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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  charitable  company  or  to  cease  operations,  or  have  no  realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 financial statements. 

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: 

Based  on  our  understanding  of  the  charitable  company  and  the  environment  in  which  it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with Canon Law, Company Law, the Companies act 2006, Charities act 2011, employment law and health and safety regulations and we considered the extent to which  non-compliance  might  have  a  material  effect  on  the  financial  statements.  We  also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as Canon Law,  the Companies Act 2006,  the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015), FRS102 and payroll taxes. 

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial  statements  (including  the  risk  of  override  of  controls),  and  determined  that  the principal  risks  were  related  to  recognition  of  income  and  management  bias  in  certain accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying  and  testing  journals,  in  particular  journal  entries  posted  with  unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and 

10 



- Challenging  assumptions  and  judgements  made  by  management  in  their  critical accounting estimates. 

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.

**WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted,  judgements  and  key  sources  of  estimation uncertainty in the preparation of financial statements is as follows: 

## **a. Basis of Accounting** 

The  financial  statements  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 to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Walsingham Trust 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(s). 

## **b. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern.  The trustees have made their assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company’s forecasts and projections and have considered the potential impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the viability of the charity. After making enquiries, the trustees  have  concluded  that  there  is  a  reasonable  expectation  that  the  charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## **c. Funds** 

The different funds are defined as follows: 

Unrestricted funds are those funds available to the charity for its general purposes.  It is the  policy  of  the  Trustees  to  retain  in  unrestricted  funds,  amounts  which  in  their judgement, can help to mitigate the short-term effects of income volatility and retain funds to generate sufficient income to meet current and future operational activities of the charity. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.  The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted  funds  are  those  funds  which  are  to  be  used  in  accordance  with  specific instructions imposed by the donor or trust deed. 

## **d.** 

## **Income recognition** 

This comprises donations and legacies, fees receivable from the various activities and investment income. All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. 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 those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those 

18 



conditions  is  wholly  within  the  control  of  the  charity  and  it  is  probable  that  those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Income from charitable activities is recognised as earned as the related services are provided. 

19 



**WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

**ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **e. Government grants** 

Income from government grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grant have been met and in the period to which it relates. HMRC furlough grants represent the total amount claimed from HM Revenue and Customs under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).  The income is accounted for in the period in which the salary payments are made to furloughed staff. 

## **f. Expenditure** 

Liabilities  are  recognised  as  expenditure  as  soon  as  there  is  legal  or  constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. 

Charitable activities comprise mainly of the provision of a place of worship, accommodation, welfare and catering, premises and administrative costs. 

Support costs have been allocated to charitable activities. Governance activities comprise organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.  Costs  include  direct  costs  of  external  audit,  legal  fees  and  other professional advice. 

## **g. 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. 

## **h. Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes bank accounts, 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. 

## **i. Creditors and provisions** 

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. 

## **j. VAT** 

The charity is registered for VAT but is unable to reclaim all of the input tax incurred. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. 

## **k. Significant judgments and sources estimation uncertainty** 

In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year. 

## **l. Financial instruments** 

20 



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. 

21 



**WALSINGHAM TRUST** 

**ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **m. Pensions** 

The charity operates a Group Personal Pension scheme with Royal London. The pension is offered to all employees and advice is provided to the charity by N W Brown and Co. Ltd, who are Independent Financial Advisers.  Benefits are determined by the performance of the scheme. 

The charity’s liability is limited to the annual contributions payable.  All contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the Period in which they accrue. 

## **n** . 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** 

The Trust occupies properties in Walsingham free of rent, the freehold interest belonging to the Diocese of East Anglia.  The costs of improvements to Diocesan owned properties are included in building improvements. 

The cost of religious objects are written off in the Period when the cost is incurred, and are therefore not represented in fixed assets. 

Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets greater than £3,000, except freehold land. The rates and bases of depreciation are as follows: 

Building improvements 10% straight line Motor vehicles 25% straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% straight line Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line 

A full year of depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition. 

## **o.** 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value.  Cost represents purchase price, calculated on a first in first out basis.

The Development Funds represent amounts received to fund initiatives designated by the donor.  The Shrine Development Fund shows a deficit as expenditure has been incurred in advance of the receipt of expected donations.  It is intended that funds will be raised once plans have been finalised and will cover this deficit. The movement in funds between Restricted Livestream and Technology and the Designated Fixed Asset Fund is for the purchase of radios to enhance communication channels at the Shrine.
