Centre for Chaplaincy in Education Annual Report for the year ending 31 December 2023
1 Annual Report
The Trustees present their annual report under the Charities Act 2011 together with the Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2023.
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.

Centre for Chaplaincy in Education Annual Report for the year ending 31 December 2023
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
After the financial challenges and painful restructure of 2022, 2023 has been a year of slow and steady growth. The training partnership with Birmingham Newman University has been re-formed and the Chaplaincy Induction course has been re-started. The partnership with the Growing Faith Foundation is developing, and a new Education Chaplaincy Network has been launched with them. A national conference for 2024 has been planned. The chaplaincy census data was analysed. A new website has been commissioned and much of the preparatory work completed. The website will be launched in early 2024. Collaboration with a wide range of other partners is also developing; this includes both former and new relationships. Funding has been secured to increase the hours for our part time self-employed administrator to 10 hours per week.

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.
We continued to promote chaplaincy through a range of articles in the Christian press, speaking at national and regional events and our wider work with partners.
C2 Formation
The induction course has re-started and exploring chaplaincy courses continued to be run. There were 22 participants on the Exploring Chaplaincy Course and 8 on the Chaplaincy Induction course.
C3 Future plans
Advocacy
We are looking forward to the 2024 conference and to continuing to work with partners to advocate for chaplaincy. The new website will also be launched in 2024.
Formation
The conference and follow up webinars will also be a key part of our formation, alongside our continuing exploring chaplaincy and chaplaincy induction courses.
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 2023.
