TRUSTEES’ REPORT

OUR VISION, OBJECTIVES AND MAIN ACTIVITIES

In the period covered by this Annual Report, Sycamore has been focussed on its core mission, which is to help Christian communities deepen their faith, grow closer together, and reach out to others more effectively.

At the same time, we have been responding to new needs that have grown out of this core mission, especially in our support for young people and school staff, and our continuing work to support families through our expanding marriage enrichment programme.

There is nothing more powerful and life-giving than the Christian message. Our lives are transformed when we come to know the love of Jesus Christ and the love of his Church. This has come into focus even more because of the pandemic.

Christian communities are longing to share their faith with others, but they often feel stuck. They don’t have the resources or the skills, and sometimes they lack confidence and vision.

First of all, Sycamore is a programme of evangelisation, catechesis and faith formation. It’s a modular course, so you can run a whole range of groups and classes. There are high-quality films, discussion questions, follow-up resources and training materials. It’s easy to use and everything is available online.

But more than this, Sycamore helps communities to become more open and welcoming. It forms Christian leaders and builds up their confidence. It creates a culture where people are less afraid to speak about their faith and more willing to engage with the genuine questions that others have – in parishes, schools, university chaplaincies, prisons and beyond.

The Sycamore vision is not to exist for its own sake, but to help Christian communities become stronger, more confident in their faith, more joyful, and to have a heart that is open to those around them.

As trustees we have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.

Our charitable goal, as summarised on the Charity Commission website, is:

“The advancement and propagation of the Christian gospel and the promotion of teaching on all aspects of the Christian life and faith, in accordance with the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. This includes provision of online materials, books, and support for leaders of the Sycamore programme in churches ”.

THE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS OF SYCAMORE

(1) Supporting Marriage and Family Life

Sycamore has been collaborating especially with the Marriage and Family Life team in the Archdiocese of Southwark on a programme called “Growing in Faith Together”. This brings together recently married couples to offer them support and space to grow together, and the opportunity to meet other couples. The course uses already existing Sycamore modules but puts them into a new pathway that is aimed at the faith and relationship needs of newly married couples.

This new pathway was trialed in Southwark and then launched across the Archdiocese with great success. Since then two developments have taken place. First, the original 4-week programme was expanded into a 6-week programme for those who wished to take part in a longer course. Second, our Mission Development Manager has been in discussions with the global organisation “Teams of Our

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

Lady” who support marriage and family life. They have chosen to use the Sycamore pathway as a core offering in their own work.

(2) Education, Schools, University Chaplaincies and Young People

The Sycamore Youth Leadership Programme is a central part of our work with young people in the UK. Young people in their late teens are invited not just to participate in Sycamore groups, but to lead them and take part in a programme of training and development for this role. In this way they grow not just in their own personal faith but in their leadership skills. These skills, and the confidence gained, can then be used in other contexts to help them become effective leaders.

Sycamore continues to be used with young people in schools in three main ways, and increasing numbers of schools are registering with us to indicate their involvement. First, as a Religious Education programme for Core RE (also known as General RE), which is an obligation for sixth formers in Catholic schools in England and Wales. Second, as Religious Education resources to be adapted by individual

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

schools and used within their own RE programme. Third, as a voluntary extra-curriculum programme of faith formation that is often run in school lunchtimes – led by teachers, chaplains or sometimes by the young people themselves.

[Image: Members of the National Board of RE Inspectors and Advisers for the Catholic Church in England and Wales meeting at the Venerable English College Rome for an afternoon conference about Sycamore and how it can be used in schools and for staff CPD]

(3) The Creation of New Resources

The main Sycamore films were launched in 2019 with a set of universal discussion questions. These questions were aimed at a general audience who may have no faith background, and for this reason the questions did not go deeply into one’s personal experience of faith. In response to requests from many communities, we have developed a set of alternative discussion questions that can be used with the same films but with groups that have a stronger faith background. These new questions allow people to explore their Christian experience more explicitly and help with the faith sharing element that ican be so important in a community of committed Christians.

Our updated edition of the Sycamore Leaders Guide was launched early in 2023 and was made available to those who had registered their involvement via the website.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

A Dutch translation of the Sycamore book has been produced and was launched in February 2023. This was done in collaboration with the Katholiek Alpha Centrum (Catholic Alpha Centre) which supports

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

parishes in their evangelisation work in the Netherlands. They were able to use the design files from the English edition and in this way keep a common style for the Sycamore resources globally.

[Image: the new Dutch edition of the Sycamore book]

(4) Supporting Parishes and Prisons

Our Live Map was launched in this period: an online map with a registration system that allows parishes and communities to upload the details of their Sycamore groups. Each group appears as a pin, so that enquirers can find out which groups are running where, and each pin links to the public contact details of the relevant group. This new visibility helps Sycamore leaders to network with other local groups, and it allows seekers to identify local groups that they may wish to join.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

[Image: Live Map showing current Sycamore groups across the UK and Republic of Ireland]

Our Mission Development Manager has attended the National Deacons’ Conference for England and Wales to promote Sycamore and explain how the resources can be used. Deacons can often have a big influence on parish catechesis and evangelisation programmes. She has also launched our largest ever training programme, a six-month collaboration with the Diocese of Middlesborough to help form leaders and give them the skills they need to run Sycamore effectively in their communities.

The Mission Development Manager, together with Claire Dancaster (one of our trustees) have organised a survey of the training needs of Sycamore leaders, and this has helped shape some of the training programmes and materials that we have since offered.

In this period our Sycamore formation videos were uploaded onto the new intranet system within UK prisons. This allows prisoners to access these materials directly from approved laptops in their rooms. Sycamore was the first Catholic resource to be uploaded and this gives a welcome diversity to the religious and spiritual support offered to prisoners. For those prisons unable to access the intranet or unable to download files we produced a bespoke set of DVDs so these could be used internally by prison chaplains.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

The primary way for users to access our resources is via the Sycamore website. The table below gives a summary of the website use in this period.

(5) Supporting Teachers and School Staff

In October 2022 the pilot course of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) was launched for staff in Catholic schools, especially aimed at Early Career Teachers and at members of Senior Leadership Teams. This course used some of the core Sycamore films in a new pathway to help in the faith formation of school staff, and to deepen discussion within the staff body about the purpose of education and the distinctive role of Catholic schools in the education system.

The Mission Development Manager has been liaising with senior UK educationalists at diocesan and national level to establish what are the specific needs for CPD within the Catholic school system and how these fit within the mission of Sycamore. There have been discussions with Paul Barber, Director of the national Catholic Education Service. At the same time, members of NBRIA (the National Board of Religious Education Inspectors and Advisers for the Catholic Church in England and Wales) were in Rome and came to an afternoon conference about Sycamore led by the Sycamore Chair of Trustees.

It has become clear from these many discussions that some new resources are needed that will address specific questions for school staff such as: what is the vocation of a member of staff in a school; what is the Catholic ethos in a school; what is the place of prayer and worship in a Catholic school; Catholic Social Teaching; and much else. We have begun to outline a new set of films and resources specifically for school staff, which can be developed in the coming year.

(6) Global Impact

We have been developing relationships with dioceses in a number of different countries. New translations of the subtitles have been uploaded to the website that include those from Latvia, Slovenia and Germany.

The Dutch translation of the Sycamore book appeared in this period (see Section 3 above). Another translation into Danish is also planned.

It’s clear from the table of website data below that the main reach of Sycamore is within Englishspeaking countries (UK, USA, Australia, Ireland, Canada); but there is also some significant use in other countries (for example in the Netherlands and Portugal), as well as collaboration with countries that have a minority Catholic population but a great hunger for evangelisation and catechetical resources.

[Table: Website data from Sept 2022 to June 2023 only (data for July/Aug 2023 not incorporated here)]

(7) Training Videos

We have been working for some time on a set of training videos for new leaders who wish to run Sycamore courses in their churches and communities. Georgie Clarke is the presenter, and we used Glorious Filming as the production company. The topics include: First Steps, Choosing Your Pathway, Sacramental Preparation, Leading a Group, Remote Groups, etc. These videos are available online and are free to access.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

We have continued to focus on keeping the governance of the charity in good order. Sycamore was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in April 2019 with three founding trustees: Fr Stephen Wang (Chair), Caroline Virgo (Treasurer) and Anne Akande, who were soon joined by Claire Dancaster and Elroy Fernandes. You can see the current list of trustees below.

In this period we have had two paid employees, Susan Longhurst, our Mission Development Manager, who started in November 2020, and Rose Lanigan, our Mission Support Manager, who started in June 2022.

Our Governing Document is entitled “Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity: Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its Charity Trustees” (Dated 24 Jan 2019). A copy of this can be reviewed on request.

We continue to have a routine of trustee meetings every two months, with sub-committee meetings in between when necessary. We review the makeup of the trustee body every 6 months and identify any gaps needed in terms of skills and experience. We have a New Trustee Policy which explains our recruitment process: how we identify potential new trustees; how we approach them and introduce them to Sycamore to see if there is a good fit; how we vet them carefully; how we appoint them; and how we induct them

With the advice of Stewardship (a charity that supports charities to run effectively) we have agreed all the policies and procedures that we need to be compliant with the requirements of the Charity Commission and our legal responsibilities.

As trustees we have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

We continue to work with an accountancy firm (Hicks and Company) to oversee our accounts and help us with our annual returns.

GOOD FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP & OUR FINANCIAL REVIEW

We are committed to keeping the core Sycamore resources free-to-use. Our financial strategy involves four main income streams: major grants from grant-giving bodies; regular donations from Sycamore users and benefactors; one-off fundraising campaigns; income from the royalties of the Sycamore book.

As Trustees we have reviewed our financial position carefully. Please see the full Financial Report attached below for full financial details about the year. We note that the closing funds held at the end of this accounting period are £47,285. After this careful review we believe that the charity is in a good financial position to continue its work.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have approved a reserved policy. Our reserves held at the end of this accounting period are: £47,285. There are no material financial commitments at the end of this period.

The General Policy (Part 1) is copied below:

1.1 The trustees of Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity recognise the importance of a reserves policy to help demonstrate good stewardship and financial management and to manage its reputation.
1.2 Our policy is to retain sufficient reserves:
To ensure that Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity has sufficient funds to meet its financial commitments;
To demonstrate that Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity is sustainable into the future;
To ensure that Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity is able to manage future unforeseen financial difficulties;
To ensure that excessive funds are not held without any identifiable reason or for any identifiable purpose.
1.3 This reserves policy relates only to Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity unrestricted funds. Restricted funds may be held in addition to be used for the restricted purpose for which they were given.
1.4 The overall responsibility for this policy and its implementation rests with the trustees of Sycamore Roman Catholic Charity.
1.5 In constructing this policy, the trustees have paid due consideration to the Charity Commission guidance on charities and reserves.

NOTE ABOUT EMPLOYMENT

One of our trustees, Claire Dancaster (CD), has done some part-time paid work for us in this period as a self-employed contractor in the area of Mission Support, keeping within rules 7.2.3 and 7.3 of our Charity Constitutions. The decision to engage her in this way was taken at our 17 Jan 2023 Trustee Meeting, in her absence (according to 7.3.4) - to avoid any conflicts of interest. Following the Constitutions, the Trustees agreed: (following 7.3.1) to draw up a written agreement with CD; (7.3.2) to

DocuSign Envelope ID: A9D81BC7-2D8B-44FA-A048-BAE5963A2E48

offer reasonable remuneration that was benchmarked against comparable roles in the sector; (7.3.3) that this decision was in the best interests of the charity because of the skills and knowledge CD has and because of the urgent need we had to find support for our Mission Development Officer without a lengthy recruitment process. We are reporting this decision here for transparency. Further information, including the amount paid is given in Note 28 on page 68.

LOOKING AHEAD

We are very grateful for all that has been achieved to further our charitable goals in this period, and we look forward to a number of exciting projects that could come to development in the next period. These include:

Developing and filming a new set of videos for Continuing Professional Development in schools, to support not just teachers but all school staff, including support staff, senior management, governors, etc.
Piloting a new subscription area for premium resources (such as the CPD for schools) that will be a revenue stream to support the work of the charity, whilst still keeping our core resources and films free to use
Collaboration with Divine Renovation in their Parish Summit conference
Working on a new set of resources to encourage evangelisation and faith sharing, in collaboration with Genesis Mission of the Diocese of Portsmouth
Improving our registration system so that Sycamore users can get better access to leadership resources and become part of the Sycamore network
Developing our relationships with dioceses within the UK and beyond so that the Sycamore resources are better understood and more easily available for parishes, schools, prisons and chaplaincies within the dioceses

2.2 INCOME

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless Offsetting required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets Legacies in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that donations and gifts gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
