1 Annual Report

The Trustees present their annual report under the Charities Act 2011 together with the Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2022.

A Structure, Governance & Management

A1 Legal Objects

Centre for Chaplaincy in Education (CCE) was started in 2018 as an unincorporated charity. CCE was incorporated on 22 October 2019 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

CCE‘s Constitution is based on the Charity Commission’s model governing document for Foundation CIOs, where the Trustees are the only Members of a charity.

As defined in CCE’s constitution the charity’s objects are:

• to advance the Christian religion for the public benefit mainly but not exclusively through the development of chaplaincy in schools, colleges and other educational institutions.

• to advocate the benefits to students, staff and members of the community of high-quality chaplaincy provision in educational institutions.

• to contribute to the moral, social and spiritual development of students of all faiths and beliefs by the production of resources, seminars, talks, meetings and networks to share best practice in chaplaincy.

• to identify, encourage and support appropriate and effective approaches to pastoral care, particularly but not exclusively among students and other members of educational institutions who are vulnerable or socially or economically disadvantaged.

A2 Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in “The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit” and have regard to that guidance in their administration of the charity. CCE believes that this report provides evidence of the public benefit of the charity’s work in the year. As described more fully throughout the report, CCE’s work supports educational chaplaincy, primarily in schools and further education colleges. Chaplaincy in these establishments reaches students, staff and families and is open to those of all faiths and none, meeting their spiritual and pastoral needs.

A3 Trustee recruitment, selection and induction

The minimum number of charity trustees is 3 and the maximum is 12. In accordance with the Constitution, Trustees are appointed or re-appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of CCE’s trustees.

In appointing Trustees due consideration is given to ensuring that the Trustees have, between them, the skills and experience necessary to manage the charity effectively and in accordance with charity law.

New trustees are provided with the constitution, latest annual reports and accounts. Other induction and training is provided depending on the individual needs of new trustees.

B Vision and Strategy

The vision, strategy, values and strategic priorities were developed by the Trustees in late 2020 and early 2021, following consultation with a wide body of educational chaplaincy organisations and practitioners leading to a final strategy document for the period 2021-2025 being approved in March 2021. This strategy is reviewed annually by the Trustees.

The vision is

“A chaplaincy in every school and college in the UK”

with core strategic strands of

Advocacy : to increase awareness of the value of, and support for, chaplaincy in educational settings (and more specifically schools and colleges)

Formation: to provide and facilitate induction and ongoing training and support for all chaplains in education

C Activities, Achievements and Performance

During the early part of 2022 the Trustees were aware that further development of CCE’s core work could not continue without further sustainable funding streams. Whilst some grant funds were confirmed, these were conditional on match funding being secured. Despite the efforts of staff and trustees this funding was not found. In early July the Trustees made the difficult decision to make all employed posts redundant with effect from 31 August 2022. The Trustees decided that CCE would continue as a volunteer led organisation whilst plans could be made to secure funding for the continuance of planned work from alternative sources. The activity detailed below in C1, C2 and C3 thus largely covers the period January to July 2022. However, as CCE began to be reformed from September 2022 exciting new possibilities began to emerge, including a new

partnership with Newman University, work with the Growing Faith Foundation and new partnerships with denominations such as Elim and Pray for Schools.

C1 Advocacy

Our advocacy work during the year was focussed on the following main activities :

• Further development of effective partnerships with all Christian denominations and organisations across the UK who actively engage with, support and employ school and college chaplaincy.

• The further development of regional hubs for chaplains continued to develop Hubs in the Midlands, NE and Wales.

We continued to promote chaplaincy through a range of articles in the Christian press, speaking at national and regional events and hosting the third on-line Commissioning Service which took place on September 16[th] , 2022, to coincide with Education Sunday. These are all part of our commitment to raise awareness of chaplaincy in education.

• A census of existing chaplaincy provision was completed in partnership with Newman University and will continue to be an essential component of work going forward.

C2 Formation

The induction courses and exploring chaplaincy courses continued to be run in 2022 with a total of 30 participants on the Exploring Chaplaincy Course, 11 on the Chaplaincy Induction course. The Leadership and Ethos course was a new project which was developed and piloted with 6 participants.

C3 Future plans

Advocacy

The census of existing chaplaincy will continue to be an essential component of work going forward. The information obtained (and subsequently reviewed and updated regularly) will form a key element of tracking as we work towards the vision of ‘A Chaplaincy in every school and college’. It is planned to recruit voluntary assistance to analyse the data already gathered.

Formation

CCE plans to work in partnership with Newman University to offer further Induction and Leadership courses for chaplains during 2023. A grant given in late 2022 for communications will enable CCE, through the website and regular e-news, to keep chaplains informed of learning and networking opportunities.

In partnership with the Growing Faith Foundation CCE will be developing a new network of chaplains which will offer opportunities for prayer, fellowship and learning. This plans to meet four times a year on zoom.

C4 Trustee Development

Trustees are encouraged to participate in development opportunities as and when appropriate.

D Financial Review

D1 Policy on Reserves

CCE’s policy on reserves is based on future strategy, potential redundancy liabilities, and any other significant factors that should be taken into account were CCE to close or move to new premises. The specific reserves policy, including any designation of reserves for specific purposes, may be agreed by Trustees on an annual basis.

For these purposes CCE will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 25% of its annual expenditure.

D2 Principal Sources of Funding and Outgoings

Grant funding received in the previous year was the principal source of funding during 2022. During the year CCE received further grant funding amounting to £7,000 which is restricted to communications work and unrestricted donated gifts of £6,493 ( including gift aid recovered) . Receipts from courses and events amounted to £5,691.

The main outgoings of the charity related to salaries ( see Note 2) and consultancy totalling £67,278, together with course development costs of £49,798. Other payments amounted to £8,633.

D3 Remuneration of Trustees

All Trustees act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from their services to the charity.

Out-of-pocket expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by Trustees in promoting the purposes of the charity are reimbursed at cost.

D3 Financial Status

CCE’s current resources from unrestricted grants received or expected are sufficient to meet its outgoings for at least the next year.

D4 Statutory Statements on Liabilities
