The Trusie¢s are seeking io addre55 the aiamiing rate of parish vawicies due primarily to the age profiling of the existing ¢lergy and the expected rate of clergy retirement over lh¢ next 10 years. It was d¢¢id¢d toput signifi¢8nt resources our VOtionS wo whi¢h has b¢¢n headed '*o(¥tionsnetwork.org and consists of an annual r¢sidential conf¢r¢n¢¢, regional day ¢onf¢rences and individual pla¢¢m¢nts and onlin¢ and face to face supporL The Society continues to support individual parishes with the on-going exp¢nditure connected with Assistt Curates and provides grat)ts that as$i$t with working And housing wenses. In 2023 th¢rewere 26 parish¢s in receipt of these gratht$ 116 in 20221. Although in some cases thes¢ 8Te relatively small 8mounts of money, but in the c$ of the parishes involved these grants make a si8nifi¢ant wntribution to theirov¢tall budget in some caS the difference betwecn having and not having a Curate. As th¢ Church f8 the other ¢halleng¢ of a decline irt overall church attendan¢¢ and a drop in it)come, more and morc dio¢¢s¢s are choosing to reduce the number of stipendiory clergy and rc¢lassifying parishes to part-time and House for Duty roles. The Trustees have chos¢n over a number of yeaT5 to pioneer a number of parithe$ where they cart see particular merit in ¢ontinuing the p$¢¢¢ of a full-time minister. These parishes are partly identified by th¢ way in which ihey fit into the ACS'S investment crkleria (small and populous parishc5 in England and Wales). Over the year last few years what the sIety has dkscovered is that this 518nificant investment on our part usually leads ts) the re-esthblishment of full-time ministry paid forby the diocc5eonce ourgrant is completed. A conc¢rted ¢ffort was made to ty and COntt parishes leadirtg up to Le. This is th¢ most $ignific¥thi period in the church's year where parish supw)rt the Society, although quite a time-con5uming ¢x¢wise it certainly seems to have bome frnik with the IcY¢l of donations re¢¢ived encouraging, ¢$pecially considering the ehallenging times we h¥4ve seen ¢ntly. Th¢ Tnjstees believe that the matn ernphasis of the So¢iety should be ¢ott¢entrated on the encourdgemenl of vo¢htions withi4 the Catholic constienCY and will be considering ways in which this work will be expanded in the tUre 50 to ettsure a regular supply of Catholic Ordinand5.

We have reviewed resources expended to ensure these were in line with the charity's goveming document and authorised by a responsible individual. Because of the inher¢nt limitations of an audit. there is a risk thal we will not detect all irr¢gularitTes, including those l¢ading to a material mi5slat¢m¢nt in the financial statements or non-compliance wilh regulation. Thi5 risk increases the rnore that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions r¢fl¢cl¢d in the financial Stalements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-complian¢e.
