The Chalice Well Trust

Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees’ Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)

Year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Chair's report

The Board of Trustees are pleased to submit their annual report for the period 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022. The document reports on the Charity's performance, endeavours and particular areas of development-and-presents-the-financial-statements.

In this second year of the Coronavirus pandemic Chalice Well again struggled to maintain its usual buoyant financial position but as things returned to some sort of normality we were able to adjust and adapt to the various regulations still in place and to function, at least partially, as we have been used to doing but with particular emphasis on control of expenditure. This is reflected in our overall results for this financial year which as you will see are a considerable improvement on the previous one and did not necessitate any draw down on our reserves.

Prior to the pandemic we had devised and begun to put in place a complete restructure of the Charity, guided by an independent Review, and despite all the challenges of the times we have managed to continue, albeit more slowly, to expedite this. The process did, unfortunately, involve two redundancies due to the uncertainty of our future and the need to reorganise office functions more effectively, but positive results from this exercise are already clearly visible whilst still to some extent ongoing. Visitor numbers have significantly increased over those of the previous year, and we have been happy to welcome back our guests from overseas latterly, who had been sadly missing due to travel restrictions. We have also seen a steady increase in UK visitors which is pleasing and due again |! think to the impact of the pandemic which has not only deterred people from travelling abroad but has also, it would seem, increased the number of visitors who come seeking a place of peace and respite from the ever increasing mayhem in our world at the present time. We hope that this can be a strong focus of the Charity in the immediate, undoubtedly challenging, times to come.

Staffing has been difficult over this period, firstiy due to continuing testing and isolating and then due to an increase in general illness and we have, as always, been exceedingly grateful for our volunteers albeit that they, too, have been more absent than usual. However, new, enthusiastic and skilled staff have been employed over the period which is steadily bringing continuity and organisation back into the structure after these years of constant change.

Our office has undertaken a complete makeover, both physically and technologically. It has been cleared, decorated and reorganised and new, more effective systems have been, or are in the process of being, put into place which will make things easier both for administrators and visitors. We havea

new website which is simpler to negotiate and far more cost effective which has freed up a great deal of time for day to day management. All staff are encouraged to engage with visitors and help them to understand the ethos of Chalice Well, its history and its healing qualities which in these uncertain times are becoming ever more relevant and this is seen as an integral part of all office posts.

The garden_-has, as always, been beautifully tended by our team of gardeners, and is a constant source of joy and education to our visitors. Again, our garden staff are encouraged to engage with visitors and help them to appreciate ali within the garden. This year we have begun packaging and selling our own seeds as well as many cuttings and young plants which have proved popular. We began a programme of maintenance over this period for both structures within the garden and also all of the buildings and this will be ongoing for some considerable time. Security of the site, without being too proscriptive, is being addressed, initially by the replacement of signs mainly for safety issues, with a complete maintenance review in progress.

The Chalice Well shop has been performing exceptionally well, both physically and online, and is constantly restocked with new and spiritually educational and relevant gifts and books. This year a decision was made not to extend our opening hours during the peak period due to ongoing staff shortages and this applied also to the garden. The shop still

The Chalice Well Essence courses, which incorporate such a wonderful education in so many spiritual practices as well as a strong connection with the garden and the land itself, were returned from online to in house towards the end of this period and have been well attended and successful and the Essences themselves continue to sell extremely well in our shop, both online and in person, as a way of taking a part of Chalice Well home with you.

Little St. Michael's, the retreat house, has also had a complete makeover with re-decoration throughout and a review of the administration systems in place. We are again welcoming individuals and groups for quiet contemplation and spiritual education although during part of this period guests numbers were much restricted due to the requirement for each room to have its own bathroom facilities instead of shared, as normal. Our Earth Festival events were resumed in person over this period and the visitors on those days have greatly increased shop revenue as well as creating a space of peace and companionship, which is perhaps the main aim of our charity. We have continued to also celebrate the Earth Festival meditations online for those who were still unable to attend in person or who are at a distance from Chalice Well and these are posted on social media. We now include passages from the writings of our founder, Wellesley Tudor Pole, in most of these celebrations and we have a strong social media presence for both the shop and the Trust which also focuses on his works as well as on the day to day activities in and around the garden and the Well. We were sadly again unable to hold our Companions Day during this period which is normally an annual event much appreciated and enjoyed by our loyal supporters.

The Trustees clearly recognise and thank the staff for their constant hard and effective work in running the Charity and the assistance that they give to both the Trustees and our much valued volunteers who also play such a pivotal role in our overall operation. Undoubtedly Chalice Well, its water, its gardens and its buildings were looked after with loving care again over this period despite all of the difficulties faced. The profound and restorative peace that rests here is protected and nourished for the increasing numbers who come in pilgrimage or simply out of curiosity to visit this unique place.

As always, the Trustees offer heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the worldwide body of Companions of Chalice Well for their invaluable support and encouragement in the preservation and protection of this ancient site and the furtherance of the Trust's objectives particularly during these uncertain times.

The Chalice Well Trust

Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees’ Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continueg)

Year ended 31 March 2022

Essentially, this year has been a great improvement on the previous one and we have been able slowly through the period to welcome visitors from all walks of life and all locations, including thankfully overseas again. There would seem to be an increasing interest and awareness of the aims of the Trust and its ethos "Many Paths One Source" which is both heartening and essential! to our existence in these increasingly divisive-times.

As-we-approachedthe end-of-the period ofthis Annual-Report, the threat-of Coronavirus.appeared to be abating but the world situation in general is seemingly fraught with increasing discord and disharmony. This is perhaps when Chalice Well can come into its own for many people as a place to put aside the cares of our troubled world and sit in peace without the need for great expenditure. One of our core aims must now be to extend this solace to as many people as we are able whether online or in person and become an increasingly acknowledged place of retreat in a world full of turmoil.

Indeed, what the future holds for the world has perhaps never been more uncertain, but as we move forward in 2022 we are hopeful of a strong financial comeback and will be working not only towards our normally constant financial security but also towards offering our visitors a true retreat into peace and solace and healing plus a return to the enjoyment and understanding of spiritual education through the arts, as and when circumstances allow.

Lindsay Smith - on behalf of the Board

Objectives and activities

Policies, Objectives and Public Benefit

The Chalice Well in Glastonbury is one of Britain’s most ancient and constantly used wells nestled in the vale between the famous Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Hill. It has long associations as a place of special atmosphere, healing and quiet sanctuary.

The objects of the charity are for the public benefit:

1. to preserve in perpetuity the property known as the Chalice Well in Glastonbury in the county of Somerset and surrounding lands for the benefit of the public, so that they may for ever have access to this living sanctuary as a place of pilgrimage and rest;

2. to preserve and safeguard the said Chalice Well and its surroundings and to beautify them;

3. to advance religious and spiritual activities and permit members of the public of all religious and spiritual paths to take advantage of such facilities as the Chalice Well Trust can offer for pilgrimage, quiet contemplation and healing;

4. to advance education in all ways by encouraging the study and enjoyment of the sacred through the arts, particularly as may be associated with the said Chalice Well and its surroundings.

The Trust pursues a range of activities to uphold these objectives and generate funds. We strive to deliver services with maximum effectiveness and at a minimum cost at point of delivery. Income is normally raised through entrance fees, supporter subscriptions, accommodation fees, the shop and its increasing online presence, unique products, publishing, events, legacies and donations.

Objectives and activities (continued)

Activities for Achieving Objectives

The Trustees are acutely aware of the duties conferred by the Trust founding deed. To this end the Well is.managed.with.care.and attention[to] safeguard the profound and restorative atmosphere found here. Together with staff we work to ensure that visitors can experience the quiet healing of this sacred-place, have silent contemplation, take-the-waters, and find solace and inspiration within the sanctuary that is Chalice Well. The Trust welcomes people from a wide range of spiritual traditions and all people of goodwill who are in tune with our core aims. Our ethos is holistic and we strive to manage land, services and events with awareness and regard for the environment, community and spiritual paths of pilgrims and visitors.

To preserve in perpetuity the property known as the Chalice Well in Glastonbury in the county of Somerset and surrounding lands for the benefit of the public, so that they may for ever have access to this living sanctuary as a place of pilgrimage and rest. 'To preserve and safeguard the said Chalice Well and its surroundings and to beautify them’ The Trust has continued to preserve and conserve the heritage of all within its care (much ofwhich is subject to Grade 1&2 listing). The Trust operates a schedule of planned maintenance which, was progressed in all areas; buildings, gardens and boundaries. Achievements were as follows:

• The ancient spring and waterways, including an external outlet for out-of-hours availability, were subject to regular cleaning, maintenance and monitoring for water quality.

• The long practiced organic approach to land use in the gardens, orchards, permanent pasture, and woodland belts, yielded good returns in terms of saleable crops, bio-diversity and beauty. The Orchards health and productivity are maintained through traditional methods including sheep grazing and bee-keeping.

• Members of the public were able this year to access the Well, the garden, the shop and the retreat house for varying part of this year and the footfall increased substantially but was still well below normal.

• Key Earth Festival days were continued as an online meditation and as the restrictions eased the series of Earth Festivals began to be celebrated in house with access for the public as well as on line.

• ¢ Chalice Well Trust maintains a worldwide family of supporters known as 'Companions of Chalice Well’. Their subscriptions help to preserve this sanctuary and uphold the objectives of the Trust. Companions benefit from free entry; the annual Companions Day; the 'The Chalice’ journal; access to the Retreat Houses; a weekly meditation; early notices on events plus regular communication through social media platforms. Most of these benefits were reinstated by the end of this year and we are as always heartened by the continuing support we receive from our Companions, old and new.

Objectives and activities (continued)

To advance religious and spiritual activities and permit members of the public of all religious and spiritual paths to take advantage of such facilities as the Chalice Well Trust can offer for pilgrimage, quiet contemplation and healing.

The sanctuary of Chalice Well is maintained for quiet, contemplation and healing for both individuals and groups. The increased demand for collective spiritual endeavour and celebration that draws people from all over the world to Chalice Well for communal sharing is managed by the Trust through a series of yearly events. This year only the eight Earth Festivals have been celebrated online and latterly in person to include visitors and Companions.

• The Trust uses a variety of media to communicate with the general public and Companions and advance its activities. These platforms continue to engender a large amount of interest and have been invaluable over the past twelve months as a method of communication and interaction and online sales from our shop.

• Chalice Well Essences continues to provide four accredited Practitioner Training, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions per year. Chalice Well essences are accredited by the British Flower & Vibrational Essences Association and draw international students.

• Non-residential facilities - normally well used for meetings, courses and seminars in keeping with the Trusts objectives - were utilised latterly this year.

• The provision of private access (by application) to the Well and garden for out-of-hours use was again unable to continue until the latter part of the year.

• ¢ The Retreat Houses, available for group and individual bookings, were used by people involved in a wide range of spiritual disciplines and healing systems when regulations allowed with fewer guests in order to facilitate separate bathroom facilities and at the start with breakfast being provided by staff in order to avoid use of the kitchen by guests. Chalice Well Lodge remains on a shorthold tenancy to ensure a regular income during this time.

• • Through Chalice Well Press and the new, more effective website the Trust continued to make available writings and papers of religious/spiritual interest to the public including our Companion's Journal, "The Chalice" which was mainly distributed virtually to minimise cost. Some Companions have now reverted back to a "paper copy”. To advance education in all ways by encouraging the study and enjoyment of the sacred through the arts, particularly as may be associated with the said Chalice Well and its surroundings.

Opportunities to enjoy drama, poetry and creative expression and exploration are normally afforded to the public through events put on by the Trust but these have obviously all been on hold this year apart from the later Earth Festivals.

Public Benefit

The Charity trustees exercise due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when exercising their powers or duties and ensure that all projects and activities undertaken are in line with the Charity’s objectives.

Achievements and performance

Organisational

The Board members have remained the same this year. Following the Review of the Charity's governance, leadership and management undertaken_in January 2020 work continued to restructure the office both physically and technologically and a new staff structure was devised. The office itself was cleared and redecorated and is now a brighter, more amenable place of work. This restructure together with the highly unpredictable future sadly involved two redundancies and has been slower than anticipated due to the additional problems associated with the coronavirus situation. The Strategic plan for the next four years whilst by no means shelved has also had to be approached cautiously.

All staff benefit from weekly staff meetings led by the Office Services Manager, who in turn has unrestricted access to the professional expertise on the board and the benefit of the Trust's principal advisors noted at the end of the document. A trustee also attends these meetings once each month and the trustees now send out a regular update to all staff members as well as to all volunteers. Meetings to include all staff and trustees were held when possible to build a more positive relationship and there was a festive season gathering in December. Volunteers were also able to have their bi-annual get together hosted by trustees and staff.

The shop is an integral part of Chalice Well and makes a significant contribution to the finances of the Trust as well as being a most valuable point of contact with our visitors and pilgrims. It showcases and sells unique in-house produced products and other items and stock that truly capture the essence of Chalice Well and the objectives of the Trust. This year its trading was done physically as well as on line and it continued to show good trading figures given all of the circumstances.

Chalice Well products

A key aspect of our strategy is to make available products and merchandise that are unique to Chalice Well. The Chalice Well essences are co-created with the spirit of Chalice Well. This range of products is proving extremely successful and expands year on year as new essences are made.

Products from the land which are sold in the shop when possible included honey, apples, apple juice, herbs and plants. A new venture has been the collecting and packaging of seeds from the plants of Chalice Well which has been very successful.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Chalice Well Press

No new imprints were undertaken this year however, sales of existing titles continued to steadily prompt reprints. "The Chalice" our Companions’ journal continues to be well received and to receive many contributions of content from our supporters. Whilst some Companions have reverted back to a paper copy, many-have remained with-the online option which-is the more economical option-for us.

Environmental and ethical statement

The Trust sustained its policy to source goods as ethically as possible. Our ethos is to be as harmless as possible in what we do, buy and sell. By preference, local and organic goods are sourced and whenever possible, stock is bought from fair-trade organisations, co-operatives, small producers and traditional family businesses. Recycling is given priority across the organisation and guests are encouraged to recycle their waste and be eco aware.

As an employer the Trust endeavours to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of his or her race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, religious or philosophical belief, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, age, part-time status or trade union activities. Equally, that no applicant or employee is placed at any disadvantage on the above grounds that are notjustifiable in law under the relevant legislation.

Financial review

The Financial Statements for 2022 reflect the ongoing organisational structure as a company limited by guarantee. The nature of our operational activities remains fundamentally the same as in previous years. Incoming resources from charitable activities increased from £119,997 in 2021 to £325,125 this year. Total income, including donations and legacies increased from £278,496 to £489,300. These increases are generally as a result of the general return to normal life after the prolonged effects of the global pandemic and national and local restrictions that were put in place. Included within this total income are pandemic related government grants totalling £37,966 (2021: £102,698).

In line with the increase to income, total resources expended rose from £386,556 in 2021 to £465,991 in 2022. Overall, there is a net surplus for the year of £23,309 compared with a deficit of £108,060 in 2021.

Trading in the Chalice Well bookshop showed a similar recovery, with an increase in turnover year on year of 137%. In line with this, cost of goods sold also rose by 73%. There was therefore an increase in the net operating profit. The trust has this year started to recharge relevant salary and other costs directly to the bookshop, so that the shop results are presented on a more commercial basis. The expenditure is also included within the charity SOFA, but offset by income, being the amounts recharged. The recharged amounts amounted to £79,732 in 2022 (2021: Enil).

Transfers between the Shop and the Trust are now re-designated as dividends and the sum transferred during the year was £43,683 (2021 £52,079) Retained funds now stand at £93,780, an increase on last year's figure.

The trust maintains a healthy reserve figure of £615,488 to carry forward (2021: £592,178), all as unrestricted funds and most of it as liquid assets. There were no significant changes in tangible assets during the year.

Financial review (continued)

Investment Powers and Policy

According to the Trust Deeds, the Trust has the power to invest in whatever way the Trustees and Manager determine is in the best interests of the Trust. However, the Trust operates an ethical investment policy in keeping with the Trusts overall ethos, which is to actively support that which enhances-our environment-and-human endeavour and-avoid-that which causes damage. The Trust had unrestricted cash reserves of £623,900 at 31st March 2022 (2021 £585,581) of which £489 628 was invested in a CCLA COIF Charities Deposit Fund (2021: £489 420).

The level of income from both the trust and shop varies throughout the year. This is a pattern to be expected. Income drops below outgoings in the winter months. The usual practice is therefore to transfer monies into reserves during the summer months and call them back during winter.

Reserves Policy

It is Trust policy to retain liquid reserves equivalent to three months' running costs (approximately £129,000). It should be noted that some of these costs will not accrue when the Chalice Well is not open to the public. This level of reserves provides a solid basis to meet unforeseen events. At the current level of consolidated reserves it is obvious that reserves comfortably exceed a quarter's running costs. It is fortunate that this year we have not had to draw down reserves from our COIF account to cover cost due to the effects of the pandemic. Additional liquidity needed in the event of a major cost that cannot be met from reserves can be raised from the sale of property owned by the Trust.

Plans for future periods

It is the Trustees’ wish to protect the site of Chalice Well at all costs and at this present time with the current Coronavirus situation being shadowed by an unpredictable world and economic future this has become even more imperative when so many will be needing a place of quiet contemplation to momentarily escape the ongoing troubles of our world. Plans were put in place to maximise the efficiency of the organisation and minimise all unnecessary outgoings. Prediction for the next few years, or even longer, is fraught with difficulty and caution has been at the core of this year's expenditure and will be necessary for the future together with the ability to adjust and adapt quickly to world, governmental and local events.

Going Concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees had a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies, This is obviously subject to the unknown quantities embedded in the coronavirus situation.

The Chalice Well Trust Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2022

1... General information The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 85-89 Chilkwell Street, Glastonbury, BA6 8DD, Somerset.

1. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Going concern

During the year, the charity has continued to be affected by restrictions imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst most of the previous restrictions have been lifted, there remains some restrictions on international travel which continues to affect tourist foot-fall in the area. This has affected the income levels in the year.

The charity has worked to minimise costs during periods of reduced activity but maintain contact with supporters, using social media channels to enable them to keep contact with the Charity.

The Trustees have also applied for and used the various sources of emergency funding made available to charities and local businesses by the Government wherever possible in order to protect the assets of the charity.

The Trustees consider that the resources available to the charity will be sufficient for it to be able to continue as a going concern, so therefore the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Consolidation

The charity is not required to prepare consolidated accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, and has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the charity and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. Income from active supporters was previously classified under this heading, but has now been included in income from charitable activities;

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established;

• income from charitable activities and other trading activities is accounted for when earned and any conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met; and

• investment income, comprising bank interest is accounted for on a receivable basis, normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes costs of raising donations and other trading activities in respect of the Chalice Well Bookshop, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to expenditure on raising funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended (continued)

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Support costs have been differentiated between governance and other support costs.

Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional requirements. Other support costs include central functions and have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 15.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

As noted, in the Trustees' Report, The Trust occupies the land and buildings at the Chalice Well under a lease agreement at nil rent between The Chalice Well Trust, a company limited by guarantee ‘The Trust’ and The Incorporated Trustees of the Chalice Well Trust, the legacy charity. No amount has been included in the accounts for this rent as the amount cannot be reliably measured.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Computer equipment - 33% straight line Furniture and equipment - 20% straight line Garden equipment - 20% straight line

Investments

Investments in group undertakings are recorded at cost less any provision for impairment.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for certain employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the statement of financial activities.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
