A message from the Dean of Chichester, The Very Revd Dr Edward Dowler: First, I would like to thank you for your welcome to my family in 2024. 1 am thankful to God for the great privilege of being Dean of Chichesier and it has been wonderful to work with excellent clergy colleagues, our wonderful Cathedral staff and the many, many people who so generously give of their time and talents voluntarily. I was installed as Dean of Chichester on 14 September 2024. This followed Interim Dean, the Reverend Canon Simon Holland and Acting Dean. the Very Reverend Graeme Knowles. I would like to thank them both for their contributions to Cathedral life. On average this past year we had 364 worshippers join us for worship on Sundays, and a further 43 who were children under the agè of 16- representing the continued growth of our provision for families. We have a faithful congregation for Morning Prayer and the Eucharist and welcome many visitor5 tQ services during the week, in particular to Choral Evensong. We welcomed 4.075 people for special services, and over 5,885 young people from 5choo15, including for end of term service5. We also warmly welcomed the graduations to the Cathedral this year. working closely with both the University of Chichester and Chichester College. The Cathedral welcomed over 2,681 worshippers over Holy Week and Easter Day la slight increase on last yearl. The return of the Chrism Eucharist was also wamily welcomed, with 488 attendees- and clerbry from acr055 our Diocese travelling to renew their vows and receive their oils. We continue to live-stream our worship, including our Sunday Eucharist and service of Choral Evensong. This digital offering is warrnly received by congregants across the world, and locally- includin8 at local care homes. The worshipping life of the Cathedral is its central and core business, and our world class musical tradition is integral to that because it draws people towards God in a unique way. Since I became Dean, I have worked closely with the team at the Chichester Cathedral Restoration & Development Trust to ensure that we have a successful focus on raising funds to sustain the musical life of the Cathedral. We have promoted the Chichester Cathedral Platinum Endowment Trust for Musie and sought opportunities for sponsorship of individual choristers and musicians. Looking forward into 2025 and beyond, a strongfocus on fundraising to sustain our musical tradition will remain alongside the efforts of the operdtions team to reduce our operating deficit. These two key objertives working in harmony with one another will help to shape a more sustainable future for the Cathedral. I wish to thank our worshipping community who continue to support the lifè of the Cathedral by donating their time and talents, as well as by contributing financially. Finally, I would like to thank on my own behalf and that of all of us, my colleagues on the clergy team at the Cathedral, the Cathedral Ch3Pter, those who serye on our various committees, our dedicated staff team Page 2

Sustainability & Social Impart 2024-25 saw Chichester Cathedral deepen its commitment to being a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable institution, with bold progress on both ecological stewardship and safeguarding prartice. Environmental Sustsinability In April 2025. Chichester Cathedral was awarded the Gold Eco Church Award by A Rocha UK making it only the fourth cathedral in England and Wales to achieve this recognition. This milestone reflerted long- term systemic changes across operations, worship, education, and community outreach. Key initiatives included: A transition to low-energy lighting within the Cathedral and precincts. Continued push toward to reduce the carbon footprint by 2030. including ongoing assessment of heatirbg systems and energy use. Regular clothing swap events and plastic-free hospitality, reducing landfill waste and engaging visitors with sustainable practices. Expansion of wildlife and biodiversity support within Cathedral grounds, working with volunteers ané local conSeation partners. These efforts part of a broader culture shift embedded in Cathedral governancei procurement, and pastoral priorities. Safeguarding and Social Responslblllty In January 2025, Chichester Cathedral and the wider Diocese were the subject of a safeguarding audit conducted by the INEQE Safeguarding Group. The findings were, in short, a mix of honest critique and strong affirmation: The auditors described the Cathedral's safeguarding Culture as "transparent, thoughthjl, and clearly improving." They praised the leadership team especially clergy and the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel for showing "a clear sense of direction and moral seriousness." A particular strength was the integrètion of safeguarding into Cathedral life - not just as compliance, but a5 a theological and pastoral imperative. The audit did, however, highlight some systemic 5train'. The safeguarding workload, especially as public engagement and events increased, was outstripping current staffing. The audit recommended that the Cathedral appoint a dedicated Cathedral Safeguarding Adviser ICSOI to advise on strategy, handle casework, deliver training. and support volunteers. In response, the Cathedral Chapter committed to reviewing resources and structure to meet these needs. A working group was tasked with costed proposals for additional safeguarding investment in the 2025~26 budget. Beyond safeguardingy social responsibility efforts extended to: Inclusive public events including the"Mars" installation designed to include free or low-cost, accessible to disabled visrtors, and welcoming acr0$5 ages and backgrounds, alongside the evening events generated much needed income for the cathedral operations.

A growing focus on interfaith and ecumenical outreach, particularly during the planning for the Chichester 950 commemorations. Volunteer expansion the Cathedral now supports over 250 attive volunteers across worship. visitor services, education. and social action, many of whom received bespoke safeguarding training this year.

Mars", the floral festival, and theatrical events contributed to sustained visitor engagement. Festival of Flowers alone drew 10,000 people, while Mars attrarted nearly 30,(KK). Summary & Context Chichester Cathedr31 did not just maintain tradition it attively modernised in 2024-25. It repurposed its histarical setting for art installation5, expanded visitor experiences via spire visits and festivals, boosted its musical heritage with major commission5 and fundraising, and solidified its role as a civic institution through sustainability credentials and safeguarding reforms. These events and activities also expanded the Cathedral's cultural reach and further developed meaningful relationships with our community partnerships. Looking ahead into 2025 950th anniversary programming will see enhanced exhibitions. light-and-sound installations, theatrical performances, pilgrimages, and musical celebrdtions rolling throughout the year. Musical legacy secured- Ongoing ffiatch-funding an¢J sponsorship of both adult and junior musicians should boost the endowment trust to secure the Cathedral's storied choir and organ scholarships for future 8enerations. While 2024-25 was a year of growth and renewed energy at Chichester Cathedral, it 3150 brought several challenges that required difficult decisions, creative thinking, and honest reflettion. Risks & Financial Pressures The Cathedral, like many heritage and faith institutions, continues to face significant financial strain. Inflationary pressures, rising utility costs, and the dem3nds of maintaining a complex historic estate have pushed up operational costs considerably. While income from donations, events and the commercial operation is improved, it still fell short of the increased outgoings. The underlying operational deficit remains a seriou5 concern and will need strategic inteNention in 2025-26. Page 9
Infrastrutture and Maintenance Major fabric challenges emerged this year, most 0tablY the cathedral heating system. which nece5Sltated an urgent review of long-term heating solutions that are both sustainable and heritage sensitive. For example, significant work was done to secure and conserve sections of old walling. Reactive maintenance dÈmands also increased, often diverting attention and funding away from proactlve conservation and improvement works. Capacity and stsffing The rapid irbcrease in activity from visitor numbers to school programmes to event hosting has stretched current staffing structures. Safeguarding audits made it clear that workloads in several key areas are outstripping existing capatity, particularly in compliance. digital communications, and safeguarding delivery. Volunteers continue to be a major strength, but they too need consistent coordination and support. Balancing Tradition and Innovation As the Cathedral seeks to remain relevant to a broad and diverse audience, the leadership team has continued to navigate the tension between honouring liturgical tradition and experimenting with new forms of worship and engagement. This is not a crisis - but it requires constant discernment and openness, particularly as Society becomes more secular and audiences expect different things from sacred spaces. Financial Review Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £2,818,132 12024 £4,909,717). Income from investments and from Chichester Cathedral Enterprises Limited continued to increase however following the completion of the Cathedral roof project the level of grants received reduced from £1,881,692 to E363.273 and this largely contributed to the overall decrease in income compared with the previous year. Total expenditure amounted to £3,570,69912024 £4,921.26SI. The decrease in overall expenditure is predominately due to a reduction in Cathedral maintenance following the completion of the roof replacement programme. The operating deficit for the year amounted to £752,38712024 £11,548). There was an unrealised loss on investments of £131,692 compared with an unrealised gain of £277,631 in the previous year. The total deficit for the year was £884,079 compared with ? surplus of £266.083 and this has resulted in a reduction in total funds to £35,899,075 from £36,783,154. Chapter recognises that the level of deficit incurred in the current financial year 15 not sustainable over the longer term. As a result it has12unched a five-year financial recovery and sUStaSnability strategy and there is a comfflitment to reducing the operating deficit and rebuilding unrestricted reserves whilst securing mission activities. It will achieve this aim by targeting new areas for income growth both through existing activities and new income streams. Cost controls will be implemented where appropriate and there will be strategies to launch new endowrrient and gtving initiatives. The target operating deficit for 2030 is £377.000. This deficit does not take into accounts exceptional or extraordinary income such as the receipt of legacies which are difficult to budget. It is likely that there will be addition81 and extraordinary income over the five year forecast period as well as potentialty extraordinary items of expenditure. Page 10
The deficits that are expected to be incurred in the next five years can be supported by unrestricted reserves and transfers where appropriate from designated and restricted funds. Plans for the Future Looking ahead to 2025-26, the Cathedral will focus on building sustainability financial, environmental, spiritual and operation31 into every area of its life and work. 950 Celebrations Programming Group, chicheste50 Steering Group as well as partners and volunteers.

This includes: Reviewing stafFing and governance strurtures to ensure alignment with activity levels. Exploring new income-generating opportunities in retail, venue hire, and 8Ning. Making the case for further support from grant funders, donors, and partnerships. The goal is to create a financially sustainable base that can support mission-led growth rather than firefighting.

Plans include: Introducing dedicated safeguarding and compliance roles to meet audit recommendations. Increasing training for staff and volunteers, especially around accessibility, safeguaréin& and well-being. Reviewing workloads and job specifications to ensure fairness and efficiency across the team.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA'5 IUKI will always detect a material misstatemernt when it exists. Misststements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users tzken on the basis of these financial ststements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect m8teri21 misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is listed below- Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims. Auditing the risk of management override of controls including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropri3teness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transartions outside the norm31 course of business.
