THE CORPORATION OF THE CHURCH HOUSE AND ITS SUBSIDIARY Chair's report to the members of the eorporation of Church House. Overview 2023 has been a remarkable year in the history of Church House. Much of our office space has been ¢ransfonned by the refurbishment projecl. It has been challenging to carry out these major works whilst continuing to run a successful conference centre business as well as to continue lo provide office accommodation for our existing tenants. particularly the National Insiitutions of the Church of England. Whilst th¢ project will not be completed until the Aulumn of 2024. the end is now in sight with th¢ final stages of work which started in May. The project ha5 Cost more ihan originally forecast primarily due to the process of discovery and the building material Cost escalation that followed the Russian invasion of Ukrdine. The current expecied total cost is £25 million. We expe¢t that the whole project can be funded without any IKyrrowing ihough contingency funding is being put in place. It is encour3ging that over 9￿/0 of available space has been pre-let, this helps validate the decision lo refurbish the building. Although the trustees could noi recommend any supwyrt for national projects towards th¢ ¢ommon goimj for 2024. we made a grant for work 5UPFKlrting rncial jusiice of £600K in 2023. We expecl io resume grant making to support the mission of the Church of England as soon as we build up distributsble reserves. We aniicipate ihat these grants will be at a higher level than had been possible previously. Financially the outturn for 2023 was remarkably strong, although Ixlow budget. The Conference Centre busines5 continued lo perfomi very well. indeed, il had its second-b¢sl year financially since lockdown despite being closed for extended ￿riods. li was probably inevitable that rental iiicome would be adversely impacied ly)Ih by the pmvtsion of market standard rent free perii)ds for new t¢[￿lIs, and the lack of income in the spa¢¢s that ￿ere va¢anl whilst being r¢lurbished. We are of course incredibly grateful for the forb¢aran¢e of ¢v¢rybody who has been involved in, and impacted by. this project which proved to be significantly more Clmnplex than exFttted. both causing rescheduling of conferences and the need io make closures when extremely noisy slructural work was required. Th¢ nature of lh¢ building resulted in num¢rous surprises which needed to be tackled as the space was strip￿1 oul and ¢xposed' some were marvellous. such as an unexpected hidden original ¢eiling, and others were less so. Carbon Deutrnlity As I mentioned in last y¢ar's repxL w¢ hav¢ wntinu¢d to pursue the goal of carFM)n neutrdlity and expect to achieve this in (kiob¢r 2024. which is an exceptional outcome fora grade 2 listed building. To a¢hieve this 8oal. we are very grat¢ful for the guidance that we have received from our professional advisors and for the innovaiiv¢ solutions which our a￿h1t￿ts have found and delivered. In particular, w¢ have used special paint which is cariK>n absorbing as well as being gentler for the environment. The flooring walls and ¢¢iling are all cork lined. This is made from recycled bottle tops, not virgin cork. The use of cork on the walls acls as an Insulator 8ivin8 a temperature saving of 3° in ¢omparison to non-insulated walls. W¢ also us¢ lim¢-based plaster on the walls. which reduce5 damage to the environmeni and gives acoustic improvements. The r¢¢eption desk at the north door is made of recycled wo(Kl pulp. The ba¢klil walls in the north door entrance are made from recycled white g[￿$, notsbly, washing machines.

To achieve this, it is the intention to manage the FK)rtfolio in such a way that the value of the investments MO￿ than mal¢h¢s inflation over th¢ longer t¢rni. Given the investment horizon, it has been decided in nsultation wilh the investment managers that the portfolio should consisi subsianiially of equities both in th¢ UK and ov¢rs¢as. In 2021 The Council, in conjunction with the Investment Committee. agreed that the investment portfolio should b¢ used to provide the funds required for the refurbishment project at Church House planned for 2022-2023. Consequently, during 2023. the investment managers were inslrucled to divest the remaining portfolio to provide cash to contribute towards the total anti¢ipated £24.6m ¢ashflow requirement for the project.

Expenditure charged to the refurbTshment reserve reduced the balance to £2,340.890 (2022.. £6.701.439). The fund will Continue lo be used io med the anticipated costs of the two-phase project to ￿furbISh Church House with works which began in June 2022 and due to be completed in late 2024.

The Scherne is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds ihe assets of th¢ s¢h¢m¢ s¢paralely from those of the Employer and the other p&rticipaling employers. CWPF has two sections: the Defined Benefiis Scheme the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two SUb￿tiOns. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic. aml. a ¢ash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. Defined Benefits Scheme The Defined Benefits Scheme (-DBSI seciion of the Church Workers Pension Fund provides benefits for lay staff based on final pen5i0nable salaries. For funding purtrf)ses. DBS is divided into subpoN)1s in respect of each parti¢ipaling employer as well as a further subp(KJl. known as the Life Risk Pool. The Life Risk Pool exists to share certain risks between employers. including those relating to mortality and postretirement investment returns. The division of the DBS into subwM)Is is nolional and is for the pU￿se of c&l¢ulating ongoing contributions. This does not alter the facl that the assets of the DBS a￿ held as 8 single trust fund out of which all the benefits are ￿ be provided. From tim¢ to tim¢. a nolional premium is transfetTed from employers. suEqKM)Is to the Life Risk Pool and all pensions and death benefits are paid from the Life Risk P(x)l. The scheme is a multiemployer scheme as d￿rIbed in Section 28 of FRS 102. It is not W)ssible to attribute DBS assets and liabilities to specific employers. since each employer. through the Life Risk Section, is exposed to actuarial risks ass(￿lated with the current and fornier employees of other entities participating in DBS. This means that contribulions are accounted for as if DBS were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged lo the SOFA during the year are contributions payable towaTds benefrts and expenses accrued in that year 2023: £164.241, (2022: £154.363) If. following an actuarial valuation of the Life Risk Pool, ther¢ is a surplus or deficit in the pool, further transfer5 tnay be made from the Life Risk Pool io the employers, subpoo15. or vice ver5a. The amount5 to be transferred (and their allocation bdw¢¢n the subpools) will be settled by the Church of England Pensions Board having taken advice from the Actuary. 25
