Charily number 1198944, a¢¢ounls lo 3151 Mar¢h 2024
Objectives and activities
CHCT exists, in large part, to support men and women who are, or who have been.
in custody, or who are at risk of offending. This is achieved largely by identifying and
appraising relevant UK registered charities or CIG whose focus is aligned with that of
CHCT and selectively awarding financial grants.
Public Benefit
The CHCT Trustees confirm that, in managing all the charity's activities, they have
had regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. In
order to achieve CHCT'S objectives, the Trustees have now set CHCT the remit of
concentrating much of its focus, if not exclusively, on supporting other UK
registered charities and in particular supporting smaller charities (generally, but not
exclusively, taken to mean a turnover of less than £0.3 million), which themselves
support, via training, education, employment, and other initiatives, prisoners,
former prisoners, and those at risk of offending.
Achievements and performance
The CHCTwas registered on 12th May 2022 and between that date and 31st March
2023 the Trustees established the operational capacity of the charity. Since the
31st March 2023, the CHCT has commenced operations and has funded ten
relevant charities. The plan is to fund 8-10 such chartties per annum, some of
which will be funded on a repeat basis.
The charitieslCICs supported to date are as follows-
BACO
BACO {(BLrcks Association for the Care of Offenders)
helps prisoners serving senten￿S in prisons in
Buckinghamshire by meeting and advising them, and
by supporting them with small financial grants.
Cardinal Hume Centre The Cardinal Hume Centre. located in Westminster,
helps people facing poverty and the threat of
homelessness with support. It also provides
immigration and asylum advice.
The Hardman Trust
The Hardman Trust supports men and women on
long sentences to take their next step in life by
making financial awards and by publishing a Directory
of support services.
Haven Distribution
Haven Distribution buys books for those attending
courses in prison, dictionaries for prisoners whose
first language is not English, and large print books for
those with dyslexia.

Basis of Independent examiner's staternent
My examinat￿n was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the thurch and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 11 also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Iwslees conceming any suth
matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit,
and consequently I do nol express an audit opinion on the accounts.
