Introducing the Community of the Resurrection
The Community was founded in 1892, to act as an Association of Christians who desire to follow the Gospel life after the pattern of those recorded in the Acts of the Apostles of whom it is said that: "they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers" and "the company of those who believed were of one heart and one soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common."
Members of the Community of the Resurrection follow a daily routine of prayer and worship. The Community undertakes charitable works at home and overseas, this includes pastoral, evangelistic, literary, educational and other charitable works for the advancement of religion.

The Community supports, and has the support of, a group of Oblates who follow a rule of life similar to that of the Community, as well as an Associate and the Society of the Resurrection. The Companions of the Resurrection, an organisation of non-monastic affiliates, continue to have regional gatherings supporting the Community through prayer and fellowship.
Charitable purposes
l the advancement of religion;
l the advancement of religious education;
l the advancement of such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community. The trustees confirm that in considering the activities of the charity and the objectives for the year, they have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Activities and organisations
Our site at Mirfield consists of:
The House of the Resurrection , where the members of the Community live and in which the Retreat House is integral, whereby retreatants and other guests can live and pray alongside the Community.
The Church of the Resurrection , which is the heart of the Community and has recently been restored to create a unique place of worship and pilgrimage.
The College of the Resurrection , which is a theological college, particularly for the formation of candidates for ordination in the Church of England and is unique in being the only theological college in the Anglican Communion that shares its life with a monastic community.
The Mirfield Centre , which is part of the Christian educational work of the Community and offers educational courses, both short and residential, day events and quiet days. The programmes focus on themes of prayer, education, pastoral support and encounter.
There is also a bookshop selling religious books and other titles, including writings by CR brethren.
Brethren, as well as holding responsibilities on site, such as the receiving of guests and visitors, leading individuals and groups on retreat, teaching (both at the College and with the Mirfield Centre), caring for the sick and elderly, also are involved in local ministries and in areas such as interfaith relations and counselling and social care work. Brethren also regularly publish books, pamphlets, prayers and meditations.
The Community has for a long time had involvement with, and many friends in, Southern Africa and continues to support work there through both regular contacts and supporting other charities.
The Community also has strong links with the Romanian Orthodox Church which frequently sends priests, monks and students to Mirfield. We also have many connections with religious communities in Europe and other parts of the world, including a longstanding covenanted relationship with The Community of St. Matthias in Trier.
In 2016 the Community set up a trading subsidiary, Mirfield Monastery Ltd, which undertakes the trading activities of the Community. This is presently on a modest scale and all profits are gifted to the charity.

The principal activity of the Trust is the work of the College of the Resurrection, which is committed to theological education and, particularly, the formation of candidates for ordination in the Church of England.

-
l St. Hild College;

Impact of the outbreak of Covid-19 on the Community of the Resurrection
Covid-19 struck half way through the financial year with the pandemic having a profound impact on many areas including our public programme - retreats, day courses and individual guest stays. We were unable to welcome guests to the site for Holy Week and the restrictions greatly reduced the brethren's ability physically to go beyond Mirfield to preach. We did however use this opportunity to engage with the outside world in different ways - introducing live streaming of services and a YouTube talk series. As footfall was reduced, so too was income from the bookshop on site. We improved and promoted our online store to increase sales in the second half of the year.
Most of the weddings, family occasions and commercial activities that were booked for the period were cancelled or postponed to later dates. To date the Community has been able to protect the employment of staff on site through assistance from the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and natural reductions in some teams through retirement.
The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the closure of the College before Easter 2020 until September. Staff and students quickly learned how to operate in diaspora via Zoom. Visits to College by prospective students became impossible, though some students, who remained on site, were able to offer video-tours whilst others made themselves available for conversation and discussion with prospective students.

Mirfield Monastery Ltd
This wholly owned trading company, which organises weddings and conferences on site, generated income of £13,024. This activity has obviously been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. All profits go the Community of the Resurrection in accordance with the tax rules for charity trading. No member of the Community, or CR management receives any remuneration from this company.
The Frere Educational Trust (the College of the Resurrection)
Students numbers for the 2019/20 academic year were: full-time 28; part-time 1 (2018/19: 25 and 5). Total income for the year was £593,487 (2019: £577,134) and expenditure increased to £634,149 (2019: £625,873).
The Frere Educational Trust's main source of income is from maintenance and tuition fees paid by the National Ministry Team of the Archbishops' Council and by dioceses for the education, formation and training of ordinands. This income was £463,892 in the year (2019: £440,956) and is directly driven by student numbers. In addition income from provision of housing, receipts from guests and various reimbursements was £66,635 (2019: £79,664).

Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
The Frere Educational Trust received donations in the year of £4,561 (2019: £7,215), and legacies of £10,000 (2019: £570).
An annual grant is made from The Frere Fund of The Community of the Resurrection at the discretion of The Community trustees, this year the grant was £40,949 (2019: £27,721).
The General Reserves of The Frere Educational Trust were £176,270 as at 31 August 2020, this is after allowing for estimated potential liabilities arising on multi-employer defined pension schemes and represents 8 weeks expenditure out of the 30 week term time, and 14 weeks of annual average expenditure. The Frere Educational Trust trustees consider 20 weeks of annual average expenditure to be a reasonable minimum level of reserves required and are putting plans in place once the current national crisis is over to address this shortfall, including a renewed fundraising campaign.
Investment powers, policy and performance
The trustees have powers under the Articles to invest surplus funds and to invest and dispose of capital. Where legacies or other incomings have a restricted purpose (or endowment) these funds are held in separate investment portfolios and the income and capital treated according to the wishes of the legator, or restriction on the fund.
We are conscious of the liquidity requirements of operating the Mirfield site which remains challenging as the buildings get older and more and more people interact with the Community on the site in different ways, for which we are of course thankful.
Thus our investment strategy has to achieve both a need to generate income returns, safeguard capital and have sufficient flexibility to meet both planned and unexpected needs for cash. This we do in
conjunction with our investments advisers at Brewin Dolphin. The trustees with the advisers undertake an annual review of the investment strategy and risk, in addition to receiving updates on performance on a quarterly basis.
Realised investment gains on disposals from group investment portfolios were £44,000 (2019: £237,000). Movements on the investment portfolios meant unrealised losses for the year of £72,501 (2019: £119,000 losses).
In 2015 the Community was joint beneficiary to an estate that consisted of an investment property. The property was valued as at 31 August 2020 by a qualified professional valuer, and the movement on the unrealised gain on probate value of the Community's half share was a loss of £270,000, (2019: a gain of £335,000).
Reserves policy
Reserves are needed both to bridge the gap that appears between the income the charity receives and its expenditure; the fact that the charity is dependent on a number of non-recurring sources of income such as donations and legacies; the need to address unplanned emergency repairs; what can be significant planned repairs to buildings; and for future plans which will involve substantial capital expenditure and the need for contingencies.
The policy is therefore to maintain the capital of each fund in order to generate income which is used to support the purposes of the Community and to safeguard funds that have been generously donated to the Community by way of legacy in order that they may help contribute to the future of the Community.

Grant making policy
The Community has both restricted and designated funds and receives requests for charitable donations, as well as individual brethren suggesting projects or organisations worthy of and needing financial support. Projects and organisations are considered on their merits and in the context of the Community's charitable purposes and whether they meet the criteria of the available funds, which are detailed in the accounts.
Plans for the future
Many of the monastic community's activities continue year on year so - whilst always looking for additional ways to fulfil our charitable purposes - we endeavour to maintain continuity and deliver existing activities well.

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are referred to as the trustees. The trustees have control of the charitable company and its property and funds.
The trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the year except where indicated. The Community is administered by the trustees, who meet on a monthly basis to consider all matters in accordance with the Community's objectives and policies. A committee system is in operation to oversee particular aspects of the Community's operations, subject to the approval of the trustees and Chapter.
Trustee appointment, induction and training
The Community recognises that it has a responsibility to provide guidance and assist new trustees in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, this is done in accordance with Charity Commission guidance.
New trustees are elected from the Community's members who have sufficient experience, they are then given appropriate Charity Commission publications.
Financial control and scrutiny
Each year two of the Community's brethren are elected as Scrutineers. In this role they analyse the accounts and produce a report of their findings presented to members at the Annual General Meeting.
The Community is also subject to a quinquennial visitation by the Community Visitor, a Church of England Bishop, this results in a report covering all aspects of the Community's activities, including financial procedures. As well as having professional advisers in finance, building and maintenance services, legal and employment matters, the Community receives updates from Church bodies and by virtue of membership of the Association of Provincial Bursars.

Brothers' capital and income
When brethren join the Community, the capital which they possess may be invested on their behalf by the Community's stockbrokers. Any such capital is invested in the name of the Brother. Income from these investments is given by the brethren to the Community.
Staffing and pay policy for senior staff
A significant proportion of the running of the Community is performed by the trustees and other brethren who do not receive any remuneration. The Community has structures in place that involve employees at all levels and consults regularly on staff issues. The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually in January.
Risk management
The trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and satisfied themselves that systems or procedures are established in order to manage those risks.
Consideration includes but is not limited to:
-
l Financial risks such as operating deficits which could diminish resources and put at risk the work of the charity, which are addressed by budgeting and having a site management plan.
-
l The financing of much-needed capital projects that could put the charity's resources at risk, which is addressed by specific fundraising and a policy that capital funds have to be secured and sufficient before any projects are contracted for and by preparing a business plan.
-
l Risks surrounding the College of the Resurrection are considered in detail by the Frere Educational Trust and include operational, academic, financial and governance matters, as well as issues such as the risks arising from the uncertainties over the future of residential training in the Anglican Church.
-
l Investment risks are addressed by working closely with investment advisers to diversify the investment portfolio.
-
l Welfare and safety risks are addressed by a Safeguarding Officer, following diocesan guidance and regular training, as well as employing a Health and Safety Officer who also receives regular training.
-
l Operational risks, including guest and visitor numbers, as well as reputational risks, are reviewed particularly in light of trading and income generating activities.
Safeguarding
The Community is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. To fulfil this commitment, a number of safeguarding arrangements are in place. The Community has two safeguarding officers who provide support and training so that all staff and volunteers know about and follow the policies and procedures in place. All eligible staff and volunteers are required to undertake relevant safeguarding training and this is regularly reviewed by the Safeguarding Officers.
All policies and procedures in respect of safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults are up to date and in line The Church of England's Guidelines - Promoting a Safer Church.
Safeguarding is a standing agenda item for meetings of the Trustees, with a full policy review undertaken annually in conjunction with expert external advisors.

Fundraising
The Community understands its duty to protect the public, including vulnerable people, from unreasonably intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches and undue pressure to donate. Our small fundraising team uses a CRM database to manage campaigns and marketing, this ensures they can record communications and marketing preferences, which protects donors and potential donors from unwanted contact.
The Community does not use any third party fundraising organisations to carry out fundraising activities. We are registered with The Fundraising Preference Service, and have not received any complaints during the year.
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees (who are also directors of the Community of the Resurrection for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Group Directors' Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group, and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
l select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
l observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
l make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
l state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
l prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Articles of Association.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Audit
The group financial statements are subject to audit under the Charities Act 2011. The trustees have opted to exercise the exemption granted by section 477 and section 479(1) of the Companies Act 2006 for small groups not to be audited under the Companies Act 2006. There is no difference between the quality of audit required between the two Acts.

The Community of the Resurrection Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Community of the Resurrection
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Community of the Resurrection for the year ended 31 August 2020. which comprise the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group Balance Sheet, (incorporating the Charitable Company Balance Sheet), the Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
l give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2020, and of the group's income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
l have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
l have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 32 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of matter - Impact of the outbreak of Covid-19 on the financial statements
In forming our opinion on the Charity's financial statements, which is not modified, we draw your attention to the trustees' view on the impact of Covid-19 as disclosed on page 3, the consideration given in the going concern basis of preparation on page 20 and non-adjusting post balance sheet events on page 41. The global pandemic which became significant in March 2020 is causing widespread disruption to normal patterns of business activity across the world, including the UK.
The full impact following the recent emergence of Covid-19 is still unknown. It is therefore not currently possible to evaluate all the potential implications to the Charity's operations, beneficiaries and wider economy.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report
to you where:
-
l the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
l the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast doubt about the Group's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Group Directors' Report). Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Group Directors' Report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
l the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Group Directors' Report); or
-
l sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
l the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
l we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilites of the trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities (set out in the Trustees Annual Report), the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law), are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for
such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees' are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
The trustees have elected for the financial statements to be audited in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 rather than the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly, we have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial the basis of the financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the members of The Community of the Resurrection, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
1 Legal status
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and having no share capital. The company registration number is 247772.
The members of the charity are the members of the Chapter of the Community of the Resurrection, which is open to every brother in life profession worldwide interested in promoting the Objects of the Community who meets the requirements for membership as laid down in the Articles of Association of the Community of the Resurrection. The trustees of the charity are as listed in the Trustees Annual Report.
In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member.
The charity's registered office is: The House of the Resurrection, Stocks Bank Road, Mirfield, WF14 0BN.
2 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
2.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with '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)' - the Charities SORP (FRS 102); the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and relevant accounting regulations.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand (£000), or £ where indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
2.2 Group financial statements and Companies Act 2006 exemptions
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiaries the Frere Educational Trust and Mirfield Monastery Limited on a line-by-line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and income and expenditure account for the charity has not been presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act).
The accounts of the Frere Educational Trust are independently audited. The accounts of Mirfield Monastery Limited have not been audited, the company being entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Act relating to small companies and the member of the company (the Community of the Resurrection), having not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Act.
The acquisition method of accounting has been adopted in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Under this method the results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of in the year are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal, on a line by line basis.
As the group does not trade for profit, the trustees have taken advantage of section 474(2) of the Act and have prepared an income and expenditure account (which is incorporated into the Statement of Financial Activities) instead of a profit and loss account.
Page 19
The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
2.3 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees at their discretion to use for a particular purpose. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out later in these notes. Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions, which the donor, legatee, or other third party has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects undertaken by the charity. The charity has one permanent endowment fund, this type of fund is subject to the assets being invested and retained rather than expended, the use of the income from this endowment is restricted (see later in these notes).
2.4 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.
2.5 Income
-
Income is recognised and included in the accounts when all the following criteria are met:
-
l The charity, or one of its subsidiaries, has entitlement to the funds;
-
l any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, or one of its subsidiaries;
-
l it is probable that the income will be received; and
-
l the amount can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies apply to categories of income:
Income from grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Donation of services: are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. Donated goods: these are recognised as income only when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) the economic contribution of volunteers' time is not measured in the accounts.
Legacies: entitlement is the earlier of the date on which the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) that a distribution to the charity will be made, or when a distribution is received. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material in the notes to the accounts.
Income received in advance of the provision of a service or entitlement is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met and disclosed if material in the notes to the accounts.
Interest and investment returns: are recognised when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably, this is normally upon notification by the payer.

The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
2.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following headings:
Costs of raising funds which comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, the costs of commercial trading and their associated costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of operating the site at Mirfield, the costs of making grants, educational activities and supporting brethren who, as well as being members, are also beneficiaries of the charity.
Any grants made by the charity are accounted for when there is a present obligation as a result of approval and notification to a third party. In practice this will usually be at the same time or only shortly before the grant is paid.
Whilst the charity is registered for VAT, many of the activities undertaken are such that irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred, otherwise expenditure has been shown after the recovery of VAT input tax. All income is shown on the accounts exclusive of VAT.
2.7 Allocation of support costs
Support costs assist the work of the charity but do not directly attribute to charitable activities. These include back office costs such as general administration, bursary costs, finance costs, IT and governance costs. These costs have been allocated between the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities in accordance with the bases set out in note 14.
2.8 Operating leases
The leasing of some equipment is classified as operating leases, the title to the equipment remains with the lessor and is periodically replaced, these periods fall significantly short of the economic life of the equipment. Rents are therefore accounted for as expenditure on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
2.9 Taxation
No corporation tax has been provided in these accounts because the trustees believe that the income and gains of the charity are within the exemptions granted by Chapters 2 and 3 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010.
2.10 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases, except freehold land (which is not depreciated):
Freehold buildings over 50 years, straight line on cost Long leasehold buildings over 50 years, straight line on cost less estimated residual value of the lease Fixtures and fittings over between 4 and 20 years, straight line on cost
Page 21
The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
Some of the Community's buildings have been owned for over 100 years and are used exclusively to enable the objectives of the charity to be achieved. These buildings will have been fully depreciated at cost in accordance with earlier policies on depreciation and so will not have a cost attributed in these accounts. More recent expenditure on buildings is included and depreciated in accordance with the above policy. The original probate value of land at Mirfield after over 100 years will have an historic cost that today will be negligible.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.11 Website development costs
Some website development costs have been capitalised to the extent that they will lead to an enduring asset providing benefits over a period of five years. The costs, which have been incurred by Mirfield Monastery Ltd, and are thus included under commercial trading expenditure, are amortised on a straight line basis over five years, subject to providing for any impairment that may require a lower carrying amount.
2.12 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost, or probate value, and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.13 Fixed asset investments
Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities (income and expenditure account) includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. The charity does not use complex financial instruments, as defined under the Charity SORP (FRS 102).
2.14 Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price, less costs to sell. Donated items of stock, if over £1,000 in value, are recognised on receipt at fair value which is the amount the charity would expect to pay for the items on an open market.
2.15 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount. Prepayments are the amount of expenditure prepaid as at the period end after taking account of any discount. Legacies not yet received are legacies accounted for in accordance with the above recognition policy where the expected amount that can be measured reliably has not been received at the period end.
2.16 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation as a result of a past transaction or event that will probably result in the transfer of funds and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably, these are recognised after any discount due.
2.17 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the group and the charity's balance sheets when the charity, or one of its subsidiaries, becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Page 22
The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
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.
The charity has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Being a company limited by guarantee, the charity has no equity instruments. Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2.19 Pensions
The Group and the charity operate two pension schemes, one for stipendiary staff (CEFPS) and one for other academic and lay staff (CWPF), each scheme as been accounted for in these accounts as follows:
The Frere Educational Trust participates in the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme (CEFPS) for stipendary clergy. This scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the scheme seperately from those of the Responsible Bodies.
Each participating Responsible Body in the scheme pays contributions at a common contribution rate applied to pensionable stipends. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This means it is not possible to attribute the scheme's assets and liabilities to each specific Responsible Body, and this means contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pension costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus the figures highlighted in the table in note 17).
Both the Community and The Frere Educational Trust also participate in the Pension Builder section of the Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF). The scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes seperately from those of the employer and other participating employers.
Page 23
The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members' Normal Pension Age.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme (see note 17).
In addition, The Community also operates discretionary pensions for certain of its past employees. Such pensions are non contributory. A provision has been made in the accounts to cover future pension obligations. In the event of this fund being insufficient to meet such obligations amounts would be made available from other funds to cover any liabilities. The costs of pensions made in this way in the year are disclosed within the employees costs in note 16.

17 Staff pensions
Note 2.19 explains each pension scheme operated by the Group and outlines the accounting treatment.
Church of England Funded Pension Scheme (CEFPS)
The Charity and The Frere Educational Trust participate in the CEFPS for stipendary clergy.
Each participating Responsible Body in the scheme pays contributions at a common contribution rate applied to pensionable stipends. The scheme is considered a multi-employer scheme as outlined in note 2.19 above.
For the Charity:
The pension costs charged to the SoFA (income and expenditure account) in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year (2020: £0 ,2019: £2,389), plus the figures highlighted in the table below as being recognised in the SoFA (income and expenditure account), giving a total chargeback of £19,000 for 2020 (2019: charge £389).
Page 29
The Community of the Resurrection Notes to the group financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020
Company Registration No. 247772 Charity Registration No. 232670
For the Group:
The pension costs charged to the SoFA (income and expenditure account) in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year (2020: £40,802 ,2019: £34,485), plus the figures highlighted in the table below as being recognised in the SoFA (income and expenditure account), giving a total net chargeback of £19,198 for 2020, (2019: a charge of £56,485).
A valuation is carried out once every three years. The most recent Scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2018. The 2018 valuation revealed a deficit of £50m, based on assets of £1,818m and a funding target of £1,868m, assessed using the following assumptions:
-
an average discount rate of 3.2 p.a.;
-
RPI inflation of 3.4% p.a. (and pension increases consistent with this);
-
increase in pensionable stipends of 3.4% p.a.;
-
Mortality in accordance with 95% of the S3NA_VL tables, with allowance for improvements in mortality rates in line with the CMI 2018 extended model with a long term annual rate of improvement of 1.5%, a smoothing parameter of 7 and an initial addition to mortality improvements of 0.5% p.a.
Following the 31 December 2018 valuation, a recovery plan was put in place until 31 December 2022 and the deficit recovery contributions (as a percentage of pensionable stipends) are as set out in the table below.
| % of pensionable stipends | January 2018 to | January 2021 to |
|---|---|---|
| December 2020 | December 2022 | |
| Deficit repair contributions | 11.9% | 7.1% |
The deficit recovery contributions under the recovery plan in force as at 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 were as set out in the above table.
For senior office holders, pensionable stipends are adjusted in the calculations by a multiple, as set out in the Scheme's rules.
Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. The movement in the provision is set out in the table below.
| Table: For the Charity: Balance sheet liability at 1 September Deficit contribution paid Interest cost SoFA Remaining change to the liability SoFA Balance sheet liability at 31 August For the Group: Balance sheet liability at 1 September Deficit contribution paid Interest cost SoFA Remaining change to the liability SoFA Balance sheet liability at 31 August |

These liabilities and costs are based on the notified scheme position prior to the Group financial year ends which are 31 December 2018 (for 2019) and 31 December 2019 (for 2020).
This liability represents the present value of the deficit contributions agreed as at the valuation date and has been valued using the following assumptions set by reference to the duration of the deficit recovery
| payments: | December | December | December |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |
| Discount rate | 1.1% pa | 2.1% pa | 1.4% pa |
| Price inflation | 2.8% pa | 3.1% pa | 3.0% pa |
| Increase to total pensionable payroll | 1.3% pa | 1.6% pa | 1.5% pa |
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another Responsible Body fails, the relevant employer (The Community of the Resurrection, or The Frere Educational Trust), could become responsible for paying a share of that Responsible Body's pension liabilities.

A valuation of the scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2019.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £32m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose not to grant a discretionary bonus, which will have acted to improve the funding position. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £2.3m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficits payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, the relevant employer (The Community of the Resurrection, or The Frere Educational Trust), could become responsible for paying a share of that failed employer's pension liabilities.
Contingent Liability - Church Workers Pension Fund Pension Builder Classic
If a Pension Builder Classic Section 75 debt had become due at 31 December 2019 then the estimated share of the debt would have been £119,100 plus cessation expenses. For the Frere Educational Trust the estimated share of the debt would have been £50,300 plus cessation expenses. The liability for the Group would have been £169,400 plus cessation expenses.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section the Church of England Pensions Board have confirmed that at the valuation 31 December 2019, the assets were greater than the estimated cost of securing the benefits and no cessation debt would have been payable to the Pension Builder 2014 scheme if the Group had ceased participating.
Discretionary Pensions
The Charity also operates discretionary pensions for certain of its past employees. Such pensions are non-contributory. A provision has been made by the trustees in respect of the potential liabilities arising from this scheme of £154,000 (2019: £165,000).
The costs of pensions payable in the year was £8,435 (2019: £8,238).
