## **THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

The trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016) . 

## **Objectives and activities The Objects of the Charity** 

1) To encourage the Community in general, and persons of the Diocese in particular, to interest themselves in Hereford Cathedral, its precincts, worship, music, history and education. 

2) To maintain or assist in maintaining the fabric and furnishings of the Cathedral, and to supplement the resources of the Dean and Chapter available for such maintenance. 

3) To undertake any such work as shall, in the opinion of the  Board of Trustees , improve and beautify the Cathedral, its precincts, worship, music and education, subject to the consent of the Dean and Chapter. 

4) To receive subscriptions and donations and to raise funds for all or any of the objects of the Society and to expend them in such manner as the Society shall think fit. 

5) To do all such things as are conclusive or ancillary to the carrying out of any of the Society's objects. 

## **Aims of the Charity** 

To foster interest in the care and preservation of the Cathedral through the financing of particular projects and by involving members and others in activities arranged by the Friends in the diocese. 

All our charitable activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Particular projects have been supported as detailed in the attached accounts. In the forthcoming year, the Friends will continue to consult with the Dean and Chapter in support of various current and future projects.

## **THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Achievements and performance** 

No one had expected 2020 to turn out the way it did, and we were shaken that 2021 turned out to be a repeat of the restrictions necessary to manage the pandemic.  By the nature of the Cathedral’s activities and the unpredictability of donations and legacies there is inevitably a variation in our financial and related achievements and performance year on year and 2021 followed that pattern. Little that was planned could be achieved in the first part of the year although the Events Team valiantly went ahead with the pilgrimage to the Southern Cathedrals in August and a couple of excellent lectures in the autumn before we were obliged to lockdown yet again. The appetite of the Friends for opening up was evident in the popularity of the events. The Appeal launched in 2020 amongst the Friends in an effort to raise funds to compensate for the lack of fund-raising income closed in 2021 having achieved a laudable £ 13,832 , almost exactly replicating the assessed loss in events income. Our belief, that the careful husbandry of finances built up over the years should continue, certainly paid of f. I t is a distinctive feature of our work and has proved its worth as we hope to assist in ensuring the long-term future of our Cathedral. To this end the value of our investments has now broken half a million pounds and generates a comfortable additional income. 

Although at a considerably reduced level the Friends were able to assist the Dean and Chapter with grants of £ 15,705  during the year. This was principally through the annual Choral Grant now standing at £15,000. 

As well as providing financial support to the Cathedral, the Trustees would normally arrange a series of events for members with a social and educational purpose. But, again due to the pandemic, the planned pilgrimage to Canterbury in the summer of 2020 had to be postponed yet again to 2022 along with the programmed visits to Churches in Monmouthshire with Tim Bridges. To all round relief we did manage to stage the Friends’ Annual General Meeting albeit considerably reduced in scale from the usual weekend of celebration. Nevertheless, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day, some “light amidst the encircling gloom”! 

## **Control factors** 

By regular reporting to the Trustees the current financial position is adequately monitored. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Results for the year** 

For the year ended 31 December 20 21 net  movement in funds amounted to  £85,084 (2020: £28,785).  Net assets amounted to £ 606,434 (2020: £521,350) . 

Details of the financial position of the Charity are set out in the following accounts. 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

At the balance sheet date the Charity held £ 606,434  (20 20 : £ 521,350) of unrestricted reserves. The Charity retains the level of resources to ensure that capital is adequate to provide income to meet its regular donations. O ut o f th e investments held , £ 506,543 (20 20 : £ 438,025 ) is held in fixed asset investments and £ 0 (20 20 : £ 50,978 ) in cash deposits. These investments generate income to be used in support of the Dean and Chapter. 

Free reserves amounting to £ 99,891 (20 20 : £ 32,347 ) enable the Charity to carry out its day to day activities.

## **THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Principal Funding Sources and Investment Policy** 

The long-term aim is to follow a low risk strategy consistent with protecting and enhancing the Charity's financial resources.  Our investments are therefore diversified as far as possible. About one fifth of the finances are held in cash deposits, of which around a quarter is with the Central Board of Finance (CBF) and the rest  was  with United Trust Bank.  This latter matured towards the end of 2021.  The accounts are regularly reviewed by the Finance Group of the Trustees in the light of interest rates and the cash needs of the Friends at any given time. To this end the Trustees decided that additional funds should be set aside for Future Projects and accordingly £100,000 was identified at the end of the financial year for transfer to additional CBF Investment Fund Accumulation Units. This, unlike the mainstream investments detailed below, will be drawn upon whenever the Dean & Chapter have identified a substantial project for which they require assistance. Minor or routine grants will continue to be made from cash in hand. 

The remainder of the assets are in a range of stocks and shares funds held with the CBF and administered by the investment managers CCLA (Churches, Charities and Local Authorities).  The advantage of this form of investment is the higher rate of return ,  but it is important to remember that these (Stock Exchange) investments are designed to last for at least 10-15 years, thereby giving the potential for long term capital growth as well as higher annual rates of return compared with cash deposits. 

The trustees  have  assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

## **F uture  P lans** 

It remains the policy of the Friends to continue its programme of careful financial husbandry in order to contribute to the work of the Cathedral, its precincts, fabric, worship, music, history and education.  The Friends will continue to encourage wide participation in and support of the policy of the Dean & Chapter. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is  controlled by its governing document which is registered with the Charity Commission and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

The Society was formed 90 years ago, in the autumn of 1932, for the purpose of gathering round the Cathedral, in association with the Dean and Chapter, a body of supporters who were anxious to take some share in caring for it and preserving it for posterity. Regulations were revised in April 1949, amended January 1979 and June 2006 and revised further June 2013. In 2018 the Council and the Executive Committee reviewed the constitution and governance and agreed on a rationalisation of the committee structure which will now have one committee to be known as the Board of Trustees. The constitutional amendments were carried _nem. con._ at a Special Meeting of the Friends, on 20 October 2018. The new Constitution came into effect immediately and the Charity Commission was informed of the changes. Finally, there were two minor administrative amendments to the Constitution implemented _nem. con._ at the Annual General Meeting on 11 September 2021.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Friends of Hereford Cathedral (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the  financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the  financial statements to be reached.

**THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Friends of Hereford Cathedral is an unincorporated charity and its principal address is stated on the legal and administrative information page. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of certain financial instruments which are included at their fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.  Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under  Gift Aid or  deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of  its receipt .

**THE FRIENDS OF HEREFORD CATHEDRAL** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Deferred income includes amounts received in respect of trips and events to be undertaken in the next financial year. 

Subscriptions are accounted for only when they are received.  Life members' subscriptions are taken into the income and expenditure account in ten equal instalments commencing in the year of receipt. 

Investment income has been included on the date payable and bank deposit interest has been included on the accruals basis. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable 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 the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **1.6 Non-current investments** 

Fixed asset investments  are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.8 Financial instruments** 

The  charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  charity 's  balance sheet  when the  charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. 

## **1.9 Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

As at 31  December 20 21 , the charity had been notified of one residuary legacy the value of which is uncertain as the executor is  taking steps to liquidate the assets i n the estate ; however it is ex pe c t ed  to be approximately  £ 86 ,000. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on 8 March  20 22 , no further information ha s been received and so this legacy has not been  provided for .
