THE COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Page 1.

Introduction

The Community of St. John the Divine is an Anglican community currently based in Birmingham at St. John's House. It is the direct descendant of the Sisterhood of St. John the Evangelist, which was founded in 1848 and was the first Anglican Nursing Sisterhood.

Since the time of its foundation, it has always been a pioneering community. In the early years of its history, the Community played an important part in the establishing of new standards for Nursing and Midwifery, both in hospitals and in people's homes, as well as responding to health epidemics at home and abroad.

Objects

The aim of the Community of St. John the Divine is to unite under the threefold Vows of religion, women communicant members of the Anglican Communion (or a church in communion therewith) who feel called to dedicate their lives to the glory of God by serving the poor, the sick and dying or women in childbirth or to undertake medical, nursing or social work contributing to wholeness and health.

The Community is also desirous of establishing in its houses, centres of worship and prayer in which its members learn and practice true commitment to God and to each other in Community life. Also through its Associates and Friends to draw many men and women into fellowship with its life and work.

Policies adopted to achieve those Objects

The Community of St. John the Divine live under the three-fold Vows of Religious Life, establishing a centre of worship and prayer under the patronage of St. John the Divine, the Apostle of Love, and together with the Associates of the Community form a network of love, prayer and service.

Within the ethos of healing, wholeness and reconciliation we exercise a ministry of hospitality for people to come for times of rest, retreat and renewal and to share in the life and worship of the Community. We seek to offer a ministry of spiritual accompaniment and pastoral care, and to respond to the needs of the poor and marginalised.

Achievements and performance

INTRODUCTION

Last year’s Trustees’ Report was written in the middle of lockdown. For the whole year the house had to remain closed because of the Coronavirus pandemic. In June 2020 we, like the whole country, had to come to terms with the latest Government directives and restrictions which were only eased on the 29[th] July 2021. We said at the time “How do you write about life in lockdown in the pandemic?” Our reflection formed the body of last year’s report.

THE MINISTRY OF THE HOUSE

Last July 2021, we had a Visitation from the Right Revd. David Urquhart, our Episcopal Visitor, together with Brother Stuart, OSB, from Mucknell Abbey. The thought of a Visitation helped to focus our minds with the things we wanted to discuss, especially as the house had been closed for so long over the pandemic. We are thankful to Bishop David and Brother Stuart for listening carefully and for all their help, interest and concern. They actually called the Visitation “a time of ongoing conversation”. We were pleased to be able to report at the Visitation that our application to be “a Recognised Community of the Church of England” had been approved by the Advisory Council.

We had opened the house again in the autumn of 2021 but had been careful only starting slowly to welcome guests again. It was a real joy to actually meet people, having had to rely on emails, cards and phone calls. Sadly, we had to close the house again for a few weeks when each of the Sisters went down with Covid towards the end of March 2022.

THE COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Achievements and performance (Continued)

Primarily the house here continues to be a house of prayer where we seek to give witness to the Religious Life within the Church of England. Yet at the same time it is important to share our lives with those who visit for many reasons. We hope that for some years yet we will be able to continue to welcome people for tea, coffee and a friendly chat, for sharing worship and a meal, for providing space for quiet reflection, for spiritual accompaniment and eventually again for small groups and meetings. It has always felt important to seek to be a help and a safe place when someone is stressed or distressed by circumstances in their lives, to be able to be a place of rest, renewal and refreshment. So far since we re-opened the house in the autumn of 2021, we have had 90 people visit up to the end of March 2022. Over these few months we have only counted the total number of people who have visited and will only start a more detailed analysis from the 1[st] April 2022.

One thing we have been able to continue to support is the local foodbank, Around Again Social Supermarket Charity, based locally in Chelmsley Wood which aims to tackle hunger and poverty in North Solihull.

The Community is small and ageing with only four Sisters. In running the house Sister Christine and Sister Margaret Angela have continued in shared leadership, Sister Shirley has continued as our Sister Treasurer and Sister Ivy has taken more responsibility for cooking and gardening. We are very aware that it is time to look seriously at the life we lead and to simplify it in ways where we can continue to live the Religious Life with integrity, yet within a life of prayer and begin to make creative preparations for the future both practically and spiritually. Whilst the four Sisters are all Trustees of the Community and have a policy of shared responsibility, we have recognised that the time has come when we need extra help. In this respect we are in the process of appointing two External Trustees, as follows:

the Revd. Elaine King (who is also willing to become our second Local Chaplain) and

Brother Thomas Quin, OSB, Abbot of Mucknell Abbey (who has also generously agreed to be our Honorary Treasurer, replacing Tony Leverington who died in July 2019).

We are very grateful to the Revd. Canon Helen Hingley who is Chaplain to the Community and has been so helpful and supportive throughout lockdown and we give thanks for the Revd. Bill Moore who has served as a local Chaplain for five years but has now retired from this role.

ASSOCIATES

As we give thanks for the life of the Community so too, we want to give thanks for our extended family of Associates and all they do in sharing our life and being in contact. Our Associates are a group of some 60 people, clergy and lay, men and women from all walks of life who desire to have a close link with the Community and share much of its life. We were very pleased to admit two new Associates in October 2021. A long-standing Associate, of some 50 years, died in January 2022. We all gave thanks for her friendship, faithful life and her commitment to the Community. Sadly because of lockdown we have been unable to hold our Annual Associates Day for two years but have one planned for Saturday 7[th] May 2022, when as well as having a speaker, we look forward to welcoming 22 Associates to share the day together. We are hoping to involve our Associates in our ongoing discernment about the future of the Community.

CONCLUSION

This last year we have much to give thanks for in that it has been possible to see the return of the ministry of the house to some degree of normality, with the joy of welcoming visitors again. From purposefully starting slowly, the house has become increasingly well used, although up until now we have not yet started hosting groups again or having many people staying overnight.

Yet threaded among all that has been joyful and positive has been the awareness that time has passed, and many aspects of change are now needing to be addressed, for instance, having reached the point of needing more help, and beginning to discern the future of the Community and our life and ministry here in Marston Green. This is a process in which we would wish to involve our Associates and are thankful for their help and support.

Achievements and performance (Continued)

We trust the journey we are making will help us all to be challenged, give us time to reflect and be willing to change, so that together our life and ministry here will be renewed.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have considered their duty set out in the Charities Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission, and in their opinion the foregoing report on the achievements and performance demonstrates that they have complied therewith.

Financial Review

Unrestricted incoming resources for the year are £113,958 compared to £108,564 in 2020/21. The major source of income includes total donations of £70,847 compared to £65,237 in 2020/21 and this this includes £49,978 of Community members pensions and benefits made over to the Charity to provide for their living expenses. Other major sources of income during the year included £41,087 of income from listed investments. Last years unrestricted income included a Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grant of £3,468 which did not continue in 2021/22.

Unrestricted expenditure has increased by £8,581 from £78,754 in 2020/21 to £87,335 this year, with repairs and maintenance increasing from £3,870 in 2020/21 to £9,831 this year. Other areas of expenditure fluctuated very slightly from 2020/21.

Overall there was an unrestricted surplus for the year of £26,623. The shareholdings showed an unrestricted gain in their value of £111,665 at the year end.

The total unrestricted funds at the year end amounted to £2,171,909 compared to £2,033,286 as at 31st March 2021.

Grants, donations and support of missionary work and ministry

Members of the Community attend and support a number of local churches and are involved with certain areas of work being undertaken by the Diocese. Through donations the Community also supports the work of the Church both at home and overseas.

Investment Policy

The major part of these reserves is invested with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England, in its Investment Fund, Fixed Interest Securities Fund, Property Fund and Deposit Fund, with a view to providing a balanced level of income and the potential for long term capital growth.

No targets have been fixed, no ethical restrictions have been applied since the funds are managed in accordance with the policies of the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group and there are no specific legal powers of restriction.

Reserves Policy

Of the total unrestricted funds, £582,347 is represented by Functional Properties and other Fixed Assets used by the Community in the furtherance of its objects. The remaining funds of £1,589,562 represent the operating reserves, available to support the members of the Community both currently and in the future. Due to the reduction in the level of regular income and ever increasing costs the reserves need to be augmented and it is these invested reserves that provide the necessary additional income. The level of reserves required is regularly reviewed and appropriate action taken.

Restricted funds at 31 March 2022 total £4,767.

Connected Charity

The management of the In Memoriam Trust Fund (which is registered as a subsidiary charity of the Community) rests with the Chapter. Assets belonging to the In Memoriam Trust Fund is held by the Custodian Trustees.

The Custodian Trustees during the year were:

Sister Christine CSJD (Mary Christine Hoverd) Sister Margaret Angela CSJD (Margaret Mary King) Sister Ivy CSJD (Ivy Rose Patten) Sister Shirley CSJD (Shirley Hart)

The Trustees continue to receive income from the investment with Central Board of Finance and consider from time to time appropriate grants.

The total assets of the fund are £20,307

Membership of the Community

Those who become members of the Community must be communicant members of the Anglican Communion (or a church that is in communion therewith). It is important that on-going Formation is given in living the Religious Life and that each member is encouraged to develop professional skills to enhance their ministry.

Governance, Structure and Management

Governance

The Community is governed by its Chapter and maintains its connection with the Church of England and the Diocese through its "Visitor" (a Bishop of the Anglican Communion elected by The Chapter, and normally the Diocesan Bishop), two local Chaplains (also elected by The Chapter) and the Advisory Council of Relations of Bishops with Religious Communities.

In terms of civil law the Charity is governed by the Constitution and Statutes of the Community of St. John the Divine dated 12th April 1984 and through its Chapter, established thereunder. The Chapter consists of all the Sisters admitted to Life Vows and they, together with any elected individuals are the Trustees. The Community is a Registered Charity (Charity Registration number 210254). All Sisters, during their novitiate, and in advance of their election and all other prospective Trustees, are made aware of the Community's work and structure and the responsibilities of the Trustees and if appropriate they are also introduced to the Community's legal, accounting, investment and property advisors.

Structure and Management

The Trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the Charity.

They meet regularly and make all important decisions after seeking advice from their professional and other advisors. The day to day management of the Charity's activities, and the implementation of policies is delegated to appropriate members of the Community or staff.

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Community is exposed and, where necessary, have put policies and procedures in place to mitigate the exposure to these risks. They have insured against risks that could result in financial loss or liability, and matters relating to Health and Safety are regularly reviewed and appropriate action taken.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF “THE COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE” FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Page 6.

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 set out on pages 7 to 16.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of the independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the

  4. Accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Page 9.

1. Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charity SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue, and so the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

Salaries and Pensions are received under deeds of covenant from the members of the Community and are stated inclusive of Income Tax but net of any deductions for Social Security payments and contributions to occupational pension schemes and are accounted for when received. Donations are accounted for when received and tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is accounted for when the income is recognised.

Grants and Legacies are accounted for as soon as the Charity is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the Charity is reasonably certain.

Interest and Dividends are accounted for when received.

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31st March.

Resources Expended

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probably that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

THE COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies

Fixed Assets

Freehold Property has been included at cost. Fixed Assets are being depreciated at rates appropriate to their useful economic life in each case. These are as follows:

Freehold Property 2% on a Straight Line Basis Furniture, Fixtures and Fitting 10% on Written Down Value Motor Vehicles 25% on Written Down Value Computers 33[1] /3% on a Straight Line Basis Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings were revalued at 1st April 1996 to more accurately reflect their current market value, this is reduced by subsequent disposals at their sale price and acquisitions are added at cost.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at market value. Gains and losses on revaluation are included in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Cash at Bank

Cash at bank includes cash and short term highly liquid investments.

Current Asset Investments

Current Asset Investments includes cash held on deposit for investment purposes.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement value.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular purposes.

Endowment fund consists of a Capital and Income Fund and the income only may be used to fulfil the object of the fund.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

11. Statement of funds (continued)

Details of endowment funds are as follows:

In Memoriam trust fund

The In Memoriam trust fund originated in 1895 by Edward Henry Hills Esq. of Tonbridge, Kent, Hector Francis Monro Esq. of Middlesex, and Sister Henrietta Janet de la Condamine and Sister Ada Isabella Beaver, both Sisters of the Community, the income from which was to be used for the purpose of, ".... providing nurses for and nursing poor persons ordinarily resident in the Town of Deptford or elsewhere in any of the Counties of Kent, Surrey or Middlesex or in the City of London and for purposes of providing food medicine and medical or surgical appliances and other things necessary for the use or benefit of such poor persons.…".

12. Transfer between funds

During the course of the year a total of £800 was allocated from the Trinity Fund for the following purposes but because it is impossible to split this between accounts headings a transfer from the Trinity Centre Restricted Fund to the General Unrestricted Fund has been made. In addition £215 has been transferred which related to last year.

The uses to which these monies were put during the year were:

• Providing refreshments and food parcels for homeless and those in need. Likewise a transfer has also been made to the Christian Hospitality Restricted Fund from the General Unrestricted Fund of £680, which is a transfer of £1,000 from the General Unrestricted Fund to correct last year and a transfer of £320 to the General Unrestricted Fund for this year.
