## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements for the Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry (CFCI), the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) for the period 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024. The Trustees confirm that the report and financial statements of the CIO comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the CIO governing documentation and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to the Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial reporting standards applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (second edition of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) October 2019, effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The objectives of the CIO are to further the education and development of the construction industry in Cambridge, specifically:
- to advance education, learning and understanding in the field of construction in the built environment;
- the award of grants, bursaries, scholarships or provisions or other financial assistance in support of education, learning or understanding in the field of construction in the built environment;
- for the public benefit, particularly but not exclusively in the area of the city of Cambridge to promote and support high standards in planning, design, architecture or other aspects of construction in the built environment, by such means as are exclusively charitable.
The Trustees have reviewed the objectives and activities of the CIO and consider they are in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit.
The CIO also has a programme of functions and meetings for members which further enhance the learning, education and inform the members of current developments in the Industry.
## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
The CFCI was established in the late 1980s to advance the Education and understanding of individuals who are connected to, involved or practicing in the construction industry in all Public, Private and mixed developments in all sectors of the industry.
The CFCI has continued to hold events for the benefit of the members, through the format of evening meetings. The Chair's Garden Party and Annual Dinner were held as usual. The CFCI, through the work of the Next Gen persons, has also added to the events calendar an Autumn dinner specifically aimed at the next generation of young persons coming through the Construction Industry, the annual Lego event is also headed up by the Next Gen personnel.
The activities of the CFCI have continued to develop and expand during the year to promote the objectives of the Charity in Education, the Construction Industry members of new innovations and initiatives. Due to an issue with obtaining the required level of speakers with respect to a topic that would be of interest, unfortunately, the Trustees were unable to hold an Annual Conference, however this remains a target for the CFCI into 2026.
## **POSITIVE IMPACT**
The members have continued to support the CFCI events and the membership level has been maintained - Enhanced Corporate 74 (2023: 74), Corporate 52 (2023: 49), Enhanced Individual 139 (2023: 121), Individual 45 (2023: 50) & Student 6 (2023: Nil).
Our events are now predominately held in the evenings at various venues in Cambridge with an average attendance of between 80-100, with occasional seminars, typically half day on a weekday.
The Trustees maintained its programme in line with the objectives of funding education related grants to members / organisations who apply through the Grants process, examples being:

## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **Form the Future (FtF) (£12,000 / annum)**
The CIO provides a funding grant to enable Form the Future to visit schools in the local area and provide seminars on the Construction Industry and the opportunities to work in the Construction Industry.
## **Cambridge Carbon Footprint (£2,000 / annum)**
A donation was made for visits the Eco Homes in Cambridge to promote carbon reduction in the Industry.
Therefore the Trustees believe a positive outcome is the move to virtual meetings, following the pandemic, that they will sustain going forward with a mix of actual and virtual meetings. This will reduce the time members need to travel and improve the sustainability and carbon footprint of the CIO.
## **Cambridge Architecture (£5,000)**
The CAA publishes twice yearly issues of Cambridge Architecture and hosts a reception event to publicise the work. Cambridge Architecture is a journal that explores relevant local issues in the built environment and provides an opportunity for students to present their work to professionals at the annual event, the opportunity to write articles, the opportunity for industry professionals to advertise, the opportunity for recognition to professionals whose work is featured in the publication, and networking at the annual event.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Total income during the year was £116,088 (2023: £90,328) which comprised income from donations of £500 (2023: £Nil), income from subscriptions of £41,836 (2023: £33,536), fundraising events of £70,469 (2023: £54,200) and investment income of £3,283 (2023: £2,592).
Total expenditure for the year was £118,899 (2023: £88,196) of which £70,193 (2023: £45,810) related to fundraising costs, £13,114 (2023: £7,470) related to direct charitable expenditure, £16,592 (2023: £15,916) to support costs and £19,000 (2023: £19,000) was awarded in grant payments.
Additional costs incurred during the year included the updating of their website, to make it more user friendly for members and to provide a more cohesive approach for booking meetings and events. The website will also be able to record events, which will then be uploaded onto the website for those who are unable to attend.
At 31 December 2024 the CIO had reserves of £129,412 (2023: £132,223), which are all unrestricted.
## **GOING CONCERN**
The Trustees have discussed the financial position and are satisfied that the current position is sustainable in the short to medium term, given the CIO’s reserve position. For this reason the Trustees are content that the CIO can continue to operate as a going concern.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
At 31 December 2024 the CIO had unrestricted funds of £129,412 (2023: £132,223). With the change in Treasurer the CIO has taken the opportunity to review all budgets and policies. The reserves policy has therefore been updated, particularly in view of lessons learnt during the Covid Pandemic. As a Charity we now believe that we should maintain an Operational Reserve of £40,000, sufficient for 12 months' expenditure and the Trustees' discretion over the annual grants to be awarded.
Free reserves (unrestricted funds less fixed assets) were £129,412 at the period end. The CIO is determined to maintain further unrestricted reserves to accommodate 2 years of disrupted operations while maintaining its grants and operational commitments and policies. Although it is difficult to predict and project for these disruptive scenarios we consider that our reserves are sufficient at this time.

## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
With the change in personnel, the Trustees felt the need to review the CIO's overall budget, its declining membership, and its grant policy through 2024. Our initial review confirms that grants should in theory increase, although the most recent insecurities of financial markets and uncertainty in government have seen a further and significant rise in operational costs.
Our Grant allocation remained similar in its commitment through 2024, however a sub committee has been set up through the final quarter of 2025 in order to ensure best use of increased financial commitment to Construction Industry based grants once these have been fully assessed and understood, a statement on grants for 2026 will be proposed and agreed as Trustees.
The Trustees' longer term vision is to provide more grants to give opportunities for younger people to join the construction industry, using such platforms as RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), CFCI Built Environment study grants to individual students, promoting female engineers and mentoring.
The Trustees are satisfied that the free reserves are adequate to support the CIO and there is no need to implement other supporting measures.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
The CIO intends to continue its programme and its activities for the benefit of the membership, including the Grants programme. The CIO confirms that its activities programme of events including dinners, evening meetings and site visits has fully resumed. We continue to expand and consolidate the membership.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT**
The Trustees 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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the CIO 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that CIO will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the CIO’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any lime the financial position of the 010 and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry ('the CIO')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the CIO has prepared the accounts 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the CIO's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the CIO's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the CIO and the CIO's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition of the Charities SORP (FRS102) October 2019, effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry (CFCI) 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.
## **1.2 INCOME**
All income is recognised once the CIO has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
Subscription income is recognised in the period to which it relates and is invoiced for the calendar year. Any amounts unpaid at the end of the year are included in debtors.
Income for meetings, conferences and events is recognised in the year in which the event takes place. Any income received in advance for an event in a future period are carried forward as deferred income.
## **1.3 EXPENDITURE**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit 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.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the CIO to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the CIO's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Support costs including governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the CIO. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the CIO and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

## **CAMBRIDGE FORUM FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## **1.3 EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)**
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **1.4 DEBTORS**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due
## **1.5 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND**
Cash at bank and in hand includes 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.
## **1.6 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS**
Liabilities 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.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the CIO anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
## **1.7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**
The CIO 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.
## **1.8 FUND ACCOUNTING**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the CIO and which have not been designated for other purposes.
