Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carlisle Year ended 31 December 2023 Promote loving community where justice is seen to matter Allirm common humanity in our work of pasloral care ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE In 2022 Chapter adopted five sliategic aims lor the period 2023-2025.. Strengthen the Cathedral as a place of excellence with a mixed ecology of worship and mission serving the Diocese, city, county and beyond. Fully realise the opportunities created by our Charitable status. Be a sale and great place lo work, volunteer and visit. Secure a sustainable financial business model. Ensure the financial sustainability ol our musical tradition. These will lorm Ihe slrucluTe for this report on the achievements and performance of the charity through the last year. 11 is important to frame thi5 Teport with the underlying challenge of stalling and capacity which have been a recurring iheme through the year. The slrong financial performance of both the Chapter accounts and the consolidated posrtion is a testimony to the hard work and resourcefulness of the Cathedral tearn. Through the majority 012023 the Cathedral was without a Dean after Ihe retirement of The Very Revd Mark Boyling in September in 2022. In April the King approved the norninalion ol The Revd Canon Jonathan Brewster as the lorty-second Dean of Carlise and his rninisiry as Dean of Carlisle began with his inslilulion on the 30th September 2023, a year lo the day aller the retirement of his predecessor. Jonathan comes lo the Calhedral wilh experience ol ministry in Bradford, London, St Paul's Cathedral and rural south Cumbria. As Jonathan begins his ministry as Dean, we would like lo take this opportunity to acknowledg8 and Ihank The Revd Canon Michael Manley, Canon Missioner, for acting as Interim Dean through the year ol vacancy and The Flevd Canon Dr Benjamin Carter, Canon Warden lor his support during this period. Given Ihe head winds ol the world and the nalional economic environmenl, the Chapter is very pleased with the financial perfoimance of the Cathedral in 2023. These achievernenls are all the bètter given the fact that we have been working with no Head of Finance for most of the year. During this lime, we have also been seeking io app)int a Business SuptK)rt Officer and are pleased lo have made an appointment lo that role lo begin in early 2024. The challenge of recruitment mirroTS the experience of other similar organisalions in the region and the Chapter continues to work to address these challenges. We are lully aware that these two extended vacancies have ptrt increased pressure on the core slafl, not least on Mrs Edith Mccolgan, our Chief Operating Officer who has also acted as the Chief Financial Officer. We would like lo take this opportunity to thank Edith. and all the Cathedral slalf. for their hard work and dedication through the staffing challenges ol this last year. 1. Strengthen the Cathedral as a place ot excellence wlth a mlxed ecology ot worship and rnlssion servlng the Diocese, city, county and beyond. The daily pattern ol prayer and worship remains the beating heart of the Cathedral in both said and sung services. Attendance al regular worship, both week by week and at festivals, has ielurned lo pre-pandemic levels and we have been heartened by the small but committed group of younger people making their worshipping home at the Cathedral. The Cathedral has also hosted a series of significant services lo celebrate events in national and Diocesan life. In May we held a special Service, working in conjunction with the Lord-

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivi(led Trinity of Carlisle Year ended 31 December 2023 Lieutenant of Cumbria, to celebrate the King's Coronation. This service included invitees from across Cumbria, as well as input from ecumenical and inter-laith representatives. In JLJIY we hosted the farewell service lor The Ri Revd James Newcome as Bishop of Carlisle and in September the service ol institution ol The Very Revd Jonathan Brewster as Dean of Carlisle. For these major services, and in ovr daily pattern of worship, music plays a central role and its importance is highlighted by ils inclusion as one of the Chapter's main strategic aims. Through our musical life we rlol only enhance our worshipping life but offer high-quality, free at the point ol access, music education for in the region ol lifty children and young people through our boys and girls choirs and Cathedral Consort. The choirs, who between them offer seven sung services a week in term-lime, fully engage with the riches of the English choral tradition which we are committed lo developing and growing lo more varied and diverse groups of people as a Cathedral. Recruitment lo the Calhedral choirs is undertaken, in the main. through visits lo a wide varieiy of schools in Carlisle and beyond. The natuye ol this recruitment means that the socio-econDmic, racial, and ethnic diversity of ihe children in our choirs bucks the trends traditionally expected of Cathedral choirs and also the largely while-Brilish context of Carlisle and North Cumbria. Through our schools, oulreach programme. Cantale Children's Choir we also offer musical experiences to primary school aged children in musical styles beyond the traditional Church repertoire which is lh8 mainstay of our Cathedral Choirs. Through all of this work we would pay tribute lo Mr Mark Dulhie our Direclor ol Music, and the whole music team, lor the extremely high standard of music and professionalism they bring lo our worshipping life. More will be said below in this report on our ongoing cornmitment to the maintenance and developmenl of this musical tradition. These traditional forms ol worship have been complemented by the creative patterns of Mission and engagement undertaken al Ihe Cathedral. The All-Age parallel congregation conlinues to develop under the day-to-day leadership ol a lay leam under the supervision of the Canon Missioner. We have also begun a regular commLJnily well-being activity called "Flourish" run by our Cathedral Curate which offers regular spaces for conversation and activity for those who might be socially isolated. Alongside these "come and see. missional aclivities we have Gontinued to develop the "go forth and tell" aspects of Ihe Cathedral engagement programme. The Schools, Labyrinth has been installed in the far southeast of Ihe Diocese in Kirkby Lonsdale, the far west in Sl Bees, and the far north in Farlam. In September we were able lo gain funding through Ihe Cumbria Community Foundation lo lake our "Rest under the Slars. installation on a 'Cumbrian Journey" initially lo localions in the Eden Valley and we hope, in 2024, to locations in West Cumbria. This journey. as we continue lo work wilh the ac￿Ssible arts charity Prism Arts, works wilh local communities lo explore the joufneys and stories ol their local context in sound and art. These will be brought logether lor a final installation in the Cathedral in the summer of 2024. We recognise Ihal, in the midsl of this activity, we have not been able lo develop our discipleship as vnuch as we would have liked, wilh More explicitly themed patterns of preaching, learning and quiet days, although two adult discipleship groups do meet regularly at the Cathedral. 2. Fully reallse the opportunltles created by our Charitable ststus. Through the last year we have been learning to embed and understand what il means lo work as an independent charity wilhin the structures of the Calhedrals Mèasure and our new Conslilulion and Statutes. We are pleased Ihat all the new committees have been fully reciuiled lo. In 2023 Canon James Wesloll retired as a Non-Execulive Member ol Chapter

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivl(led Trinity of Carlisle Year ended 310ecember 2023 where he has served lor len years, some of that time as Chapter Treasurer. We would like lo thank James lor his long service, not least in remaining in post during the period ol Decanal vacar)cy and are pleased that we will continue to work with him in his new role as Chair of ihe Friends of Carlisle Cathedral. Day lo day the new governance structures are working well with a recognition that more needs lo be done lo distinguish and communicate the difference between Ihe governallce and slralegic focus of the Cathedral Chapter and the operational responsibilities of the Senior Management Team. Work has been undertaken, led by the Reverend Canon Ruth Crossley and Canon Alison Clarricoats, in developing a deeper understanding of the Calhedral's vision and values with the statt and volunleers. In a(klilion, the newly constituted quarterly inductions lor staff and volunteers, as well as regular all-slaff and team meetings, is allowing foi the better communication of ihese new structures. More work will need to be done through 2024 on both the organisational and cullural changes ihal flow from our new status and all of Chapter are committed to SUPPOrting and encouraging Ihis at all levels of Cathedral activity. In November 2023 the Cathedral undeM6nt its lirst"P8er Review" underthe system organised by the Association ol English Calhedrals in conjLJnction with the central church. At the point ol WTiling Ihis report the final report has not been published bul Chapter is committed to engaging with the report's recommendations and using thern lo inform our priorities going into the new year. 3. Be a safe and great place lo work, volunleer and vislt. Safeguardlng The Chapter continues lo place the hiohesi priority on safeguarding.11 sees good safeguarding practice at the Cathedral lo b& Ihe expression of Christ's loving car8 for his people and his desire lo see 'lhal they should have life in all its fullness., Safeguarding is a standing item on the agenda ol Chapter meetings, Senior Management Team meelings and regular staff ffleelings. In 2023 there has been a focus on making the processes and information on safeguarding simpler lo find. The saleguarding page ol ihe Caihedral website has undergone a redesign linking not only to Cathedral documents but also lo documents within the wider church which underpin and support Ihese. In addition, a new Safeguarding Handbook has been issued which mirrors the format and best practice outlined in the Church ol England Safeguarding Handbook. In October we ran, for the third year. a very well received Safeguarding Season where we worked with survivors ol abuse to show our solidarity in prayer, worship, and action, wilh all who have been affected by abuse. The Cathedral's safeguaiding wot1( is fully inlegrated with the safeguarding work of Ihe Diocese ol Carlisle and Chapter has requested that ils safeguarding activity should fall within the remit ol the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel, The Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser gives generous lime lo advise the Chapter, and a Memorandum ol Understanding between Chapter and the Diocese is in place. The Chapter Safeguarding Lead and Safeguarding Administrator work closely wilh the DI￿esan Safeguarding Advisor to monitor safeguarding concerns and uphold and ¢evelop best practice. This is supported by the Cathedral SaleguaTding Group which draws ils membership from across all parts of the Cathedral community. In 2024 plan lo strengthen the work ol this group, currently convened and chaired by the Cathedral Safeguarding Lead, by the appointment ol an independent Chair.

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carlisle Year endeil 31 Decembei 2023 Volunleers and Iralnlng As already ￿ated, thls year we instituled a rolling pattern of quarterly inductions lor all staff and volunteers. Through 2024, as well as ottering these lo new starters, we plan to ensure that all members of Ihe existing Cathedral team have Ur￿ertaken this induction. Training provision for staff and key volunteers has been developed through the year with safeguarding, fire marshal, and first aid Iraining underlaken by a wider proportion ol the Cathedral team. In addition. some staff have been able to undertake some focused peisonal development training. With Ihese a significant number of new policies, procedures, and handbooks have been prepared and adopted by Chapter through the year lo support staff and volunteers in their roles at the Calh8dral. Volunteers remain al the heart ol the Cathedral's life. Through 2023 we have been delighted lo welcome new volunteers and remain commilled to developing and broadening the volunteer ofler at the Cathedral. To assist with this, we have been working with a consultant provided by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to assist in forming a volunteer strategy and action plan growing out of the work of the Cathedral s lottery supported Fralry Project. This work is being led by a nominated member ol Chapter with the support of the Cathedral's newly appointed Learning and Voluntèer Otricer. Through the early months of 2024 we will be conducting a volunteer questionnaire and survey to inform and develop the strategy and action plan rnoving lorward. The appointment of the Learning and Volunteer Officer is a lasting and visible legacy lo the Fratry Project which was finally corNpleted in the late summer of 2023. This new role allows us lo build on the success ol this project in three linked ways. The lirsl, as slated above, is the development ol the Cathedral volunleering opportunities. The second, the steady expansion of our schools, wogramrne which is now supported by a small bul growing number of volunteers. The third is the enhancement of our visilor offer. We are pleased lo say that visitor numbers and donalions have largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Through the year we have been able lo enhance our visitor experience through new lours (particularly of the Bell Tower and the "Angel's View" Irom the clerestory) and the return ot the Rest under the Stars" installation before it began ils "Cumbrian Journey.. 4. Secure a sustalnable flnancial business model. Like all similar organisallons the Cathedral has been challengecl by the cosl-ol-living crisis over the last year. The robust financial performance of this last year is due, in no small part, to the strong linancial management by the Cathedral leam and the very impressive financial results of Carlisle Caihedral Enterprises Ltd. We continue efforts lo diversity income streams and were pleased in 2023 to holij, for the first lime Sin￿ the redevelopment. a wedding reception in the Fralry Hall as well as CO￿[nerCIallY successful events such as concerts by the London Film Music Orcheslra. G4 and Cumbria SirKJers. The Finance Committee chaired by the Chapter Treasurer, t￿ether with the Audil & Risk Comrnillee, continue lo provide scrutiny, challenge and support not only in the areas ol finance but across all areas ol risk identified under the risk managernenl framework. The Cathedral Chapter and the Board of Carlisle Cathedral Emerprises Ltd continue to Work, and meet, together to ensure the close and sympalhelic working between the two bodies. The employment of a Head of Fundraising thiough the whole year has successfully increased revenue from visitor income, grant making Irusls, and new forms ol regular support. With our new Dean in post, we recognise that developing and deepening our income generation is of vital importance, particularly as the financial forecast lor 2024 is more challenging than 2023, 10

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carlisle Year ended 31 December 2023 not least berAuse of including the full effect ol the rise in utililies, the full impact ol which we had managed lo delay until the middle part 012023. 5. Ensure the tinancial su5talnability of our muslcal tradltlon. As slated above, music is al th8 heart of the Cathedral's life and Chapter remains committed lo ensuring its long-term financial viability. In 2023 Ihe Caihedral received the single largest granl, just under £30,000, from the Cathedral Music Trust as well as awards from other grant making bodies lo support the work of the Cathedral ¢hO￿rS and the Cathedral's music outreach programme. The Sponsor a Chorister Scheme. launched late in 2022, now has over Iwenly- live subscribers. Plans torlhe corning year and beyond: Strateglc planning and vlslon The Calhedral's"Peer Review" process will help inform the strategic planning of the Cathedral into 2024. A Chapler strategy day is planned to allow Chapter to locus on the recommendations ol the review and priorilise activity lor the coming year and beyond. CenlTal to this will be a refocusing ol our lime and resources on the central mission and identily of the Cathedral as il serves Ihe people of this city, county and beyond. We lake our Augustinian values seriously and wanl to 'work from a place ol rest, crealing a cutture where everyone works an appropriate amount ol time for the Ilourishing of all. Stafflng and capa¢lty With our new Dean in post, and concerted plans lo lill the vacancy in the Finance department, we hope to work through the coming year with a larger team to allow us to continue lo deliver on our strategic aims as we have in 2023. A key means ol this will be the continued development ol our Annual Business Development Plan so that all departmental activily can locus on delivering our strategic obj'eclives with regular pallerns of reporting on this to Chapter Ihrough the Senior Management Team. Flnancial plannlng and management The sound management of the Cathedral's assets and properties and the recruitmenl ol a Head of Finance remain a key opportunity and challenge lor Chapter. We will aim lo have a Head of FinanGe. or equivalent, in place by the summer 012024. In 2023 Chapier reviewed the managemenl ol its investmenl portfolio leading lo the transfef of these funds to management by Ralhbones and CCLA which will be completed in 2024. In 2023, Chapter formed a Property Working Group whose membership bring extensive experience of commercial and residential property. This group allows for the planning of the Cathedral's properties as we seek lo meet the challenges ol Nel-zero whilsl also maxirnising the financial benefit ol these assets. To support this work, we were delighted lo be awarded in December 2023 an Eco-church Bronze award and are committed lo moving to the Silver award in 2024. A key locus ol our financial planning will be the development of a robusl fundraising strategy to support the Cathedral's musical heritage including plans for the refurbishment, in time, ol the Cathedral organ. The Cathedral's very fine -Father Willis" Organ dates from 1856. Like all pipe organs il requires both regular mainlenance and luning. In the 1990s il received some low-level restoration but is now due a substantial rebuild to maintain this vital part of our musical heritage and Cathedral fabric. Chapter is under no illLAsions that Ihis strategic aim 11

Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Carli51e Year ended 31 December 2023 requires careful and focused attention through the coming year and that, through that, we remain ambitious lo continue lo place music, ancl the worshipping life that it enhances, central to the life, identity. and flourishing of Carlisle Cathedral inlo the coming year and beyond. Saleguardlng In the area ol safeguarding, we will be working wtth the Diocese of Carlisle to refine our working ielalionship lo allow both ihe Catheéral and Diocese lo become integrated inlo the National Safeguarding Case Management System. Both parties envisage this being achieved through a redrafling of the Memorandum of Understanding. We also hope to reform our Cathedral Safeguarding Action Plan around the newly published Church of England National Safeguarding Standards. This process will support and refine our saleguarding systems as we prepare lor our next Safeguarding Audil currently scheduled for Ihe beginning of 2025. Statement of publlc benellt As a Cathedral of the Church of England the Chapter's slatulory responsibility under the Cathedrals Measure 2021 is to be the seat ol ihe Diocesan Bishop and a centre of worship and mission and lo provide a locus for the life and work of the Church ol England in the Diocese. The Chapter report explains how Chapler provides a benefit lo the publi¢ through its support lowards the Bishop and the Diocese's "God For All" strategy which is shared by three other Christian denorninations representing the ecumenical county of Cumbria., its provision of worship, pastoral and outreach activilies lor the people ol Carlisle and beyond, and the welcome, hospitality, music and increasing range of activities and events provided for all the Cathedral's visttors throughout the year. In setting the Cathedral's objectives the Chapter has paid due regard lo the guidance sel by the Church Commissioners and the Charity Commission. Principal rlsks and uncertalnties Whilst the responsibility lor building a robust Risk Management Framework remains entirely with Chapler, the Audit & Risk Commrtlee brings an additional and very important layer of oversight. During the year Chapler, with scrLJliny and input from the Audit & Risk Committee, undertook ils firsl review DI the new Risk Management Policy and continued to evaluale and relresh the Risk Register with regard lo the key risks being laced by the Cathedral. As identified within the Risk Register. there are a number of risks and uncertainties laced by the Cathedral and, at the time of this report. there were five risks where the implementation ol additional control measures is being progressed lo further improve the managemenvmiligation of the iisk.. delivery ol an Annual Business Developrnent Plan (underpinned by key performance indicalorsl by the Senior Management Team and Heads ol Departrnenl, with quarterly reporting lo Chapter so that progress against the achievement of Chapter's overall strategic aims and key strategic objectives can be evalualed,. proactive management of the investment portfolios by our investment managers and quarterly review ol the perlormance ol the investment portlolios against Ihe health of the wider market by the Finance Committee, wrth subsequent reporting to Chapter., development and implementation of a Pioperty Management and Maintenance Plan in conjunction with the Surveyor lo the Fabric. the Fabric Advisory Committee, Ihe Fabric Sub Committee and the Chapler-appointed Property Working Group., recruttment of key staff lin particular, a new Head of Finance) and volunteers; and Ihe ongoing embedding of a strong safeguarding culture. 12

Cathedral Church of the Hoty and Vndivided Trinity of Carli51e Year ended 31 December 2023 Progress of the above is reviewed by both Chapter and the Audtt & Risk Committee on a regular basis, alongside the periodic monitoring and re-assessment of each of the identified risks in line with the Risk Management Policy, whilst the Senior Management Team holds Chapler-delegated responsibility for day-to-day risk management arrangements. Finan¢lal review The Chapter originally budgeted for a deficit of £56,753, excluding the distribution from CCEL. The Chapter accounts for the year ended 318t December 2023 show a net surplus in the Common Fund of £125.598. including a distribution from CCEL of £118,021, and before considering unrealised gains or losses, and wlhout taking into consideration income and expenditure on malor projects. including the Fratry Project. Group incoming Common Fund resources amounted to £1,234,094 (2022- £1.074,9081. Regular sources of income including congregational giving, investment income. property and Gift Aid from visitoi donations continue to come under pressure, reflecting the challenges that Chapter faces in achieV￿n9 sustainable income streams. More visitors are choosing lo donate to the Cathedral using electronic means such as Goodbox and other online plattorms that have been set up this year. Total group Common Fund resources expended amounted to £1,109,160 (2022 £1,113,213). Chapter continue to seek efficiency savings throughout its operations, which were notably achieved in Ihe Cathedral. Expendrture on music is also being rigorously managed. Chapter will develop a long-term fundir)g plan for music in order to sustain the Choir into the future and support its development. Carlisle Cathedral Enterprises Limited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 show a profit before tax of £119,140 (2022.. £34,714}. Turnover amounted to £598,507 {2022'. £481,883).

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies sel out therein. In our opinion, the financial statements= give a true and fair view ol the state of the group and the Cathedral's affairs as al 31 DeCe￿ber 2023 and of its incorne and expenditure lor the year Ihen ended. have been properly prepared in accordan¢e with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and. have been prepared in accordance wilh the guidelines specified by the Church Commissioners under Ihe powers given lo them by the Calhedrals Measure 2021 and the Charities Acl 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS {UKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's reswnsibilities for the audit ol the financial stalemènls section of our report. We are independent of the Calhedral in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the linancial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requiremenls. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufticient and appropriate to provide a basis lor our opinion. Concluslons relaling to going concern In auditing the financial statemenls, we have concluded Ihal the members use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to the events or conditions that, individually or colleclively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability lo continue as a going concern lor a period ol at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised lor issuè. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members wilh Tespecl lo going concern are described in the relevanl sections ol the report. Olher InlomiatDon The members are responsible for the other information. The other inforrnalion comprises the informalion included in the annual report other Ihan the financial slalements and our auditor's report Ihereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does nol cover the other information and, except lo the extent othe￿iSe explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion Ihereon. In connection with our audit ol the linancial slatemenls, OLAr responsibility is lo read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other inlormalion is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to 18

We have nothing lo report in Ihis regard. Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception We have nothing lo rewrt in respect of the following matters where the Cathedrals Measure 2021 and Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022 requires us to report to you if, in our opinK)n'. the information in the Annual Reporl is inconsistenl in any material respect with the financial slalements- or sufficient accounting records have not been kept,. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns- or we have not obtained all the information and explanalions necessary lor the purposes of our audit. We have been appointed auditor under section 27 01 the Cathedrals Measure 2021 and the Charrties Act 2011 as amended by th8 Charities Act 2022 and report in accordance with that Acl. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboul wheiher the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalement. whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's Teporl that inGludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ol assurance, but is nol a guarantee that an audit conducled in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always deleGt a malerial misstalement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material, il individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the econornic decisions ol users taken on the basis of Ihese financial statements.

Motor vehicles 20¢/r& Straight line Equipment 20V/o slraighl line BUildi￿S are not depreciated. as the Ghapter has a policy and practice of regular MaIntena￿e ol the property. Repairs are charged to the SOFA and the Chapter therefore considers that any depreciation charge would be immalerial. The Fralry project buildings are inclL#Yed al fair value. No depreciation is charged on these assets. The fair value is determined by the value in use of the buildings. based on their service polenlial. As the buildings are expected lo continue lo meet their service potential for the foreseeable lulure, their value in use is reflected by th8 costs ol construction of the buildings rather than the amount for which they can be sold in the market. Horitage assets HerNage assets include the cathedral and ancillary buildings and the items in the inventory prepared nder section 24111 ol the Care ol Cathedrals Measure 2011. No value has been allribuled to these assets acquired before 31 December 2023. because informalion on their hislori¢al cost is not available. Inveslment propertles Investment properties are included in the accounts at fair value. No depreciation is charged on investment properties in line wlh FRS 102. Investments Investments are a lorm of basi¢ financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their lair value al the balanee sheet dale using the closing quoted market price. Th& Statement ol Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaualion and dis osals throughout the year. Realised ains and IDsses on inveslmenls are calculated as the erence between sales proceeds and I eir opening car ng value or their purchase value il acquired subsequent lo the first day of the financial year. nrealised gains and lossgs are calculated as the difference between the lair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement ol Financial Aclivilies. The cathedral does not acquire pul options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments. The main form of financial risk faced by th? cathedral is that ol volatility in equity markets and invesimenl markets due to wKler economic conditions, the attitudes of invesiors lo investment risk, changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particul* sectors or subseclors. Deblors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the selllemenl amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued al the amount prepaid net ot any lyade discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand Cash al bank and cash in hand includes tash a￿1 short lerni highly liquid investrnenls with a short maturity of three months or less from the date ol acquisition or opening ol the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provlslons Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation rgsulting from a past event that will probably result in the Iransler ol lunds lo a third party and the amount due lo settle the obligat￿n can be rneasured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing lor any trade discounts due. The notes form part ol these linancial statements 25
