## **REPORT OF THE CHARITY TRUSTEES:**
The Board of Trustees presents its report and audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Statements appear in the format required by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities SORP.
## **HISTORY AND ORGANISATION:**
The Diocese of Shrewsbury is a registered charitable trust, established by a Trust Deed dated 19 September 1963, registration number 234025. In the context of the universal Church, the Diocese is a portion of the people of God gathered by the Bishop of Shrewsbury in the Holy Spirit through the Gospel and the Eucharist. It is a particular church in which the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church of Christ is truly present and operative and is more than an administrative division of the universal Church.
The Diocese serves 90 parishes (along with 11 other churches and chapels) and 106 Catholic Schools in Cheshire, Shropshire and parts of Derbyshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
The Board of Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 section 17 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:**
The Trust Deed established the aims and objectives of the Diocesan Trust to be the “advancement of the Roman Catholic religion in the Diocese”. The Trustees, under the Diocesan Bishop’s direction, continue to work to promote the charitable advancement of the Roman Catholic Religion and any lawful charitable purposes, including education, promoted or supported by the Church in the Diocese and beyond.
The primary objective of the advancement of the Roman Catholic religion is lived out in parishes principally through the worship of God and through prayer. Central to the Roman Catholic faith is the celebration of Mass, for which the churches of the Diocese are primarily used. Although Sunday is the principal day of worship, many Diocesan churches are open each day to celebrate Mass or just for a time of quiet prayer and reflection and are accessible to those of all faiths and none.
In terms of education, this is delivered through formation of the faithful as well as through Catholic schools in the Diocese. Formation of the faithful flows from worship in parishes through preparation for sacraments, to more formal initiatives taking place at parish, local pastoral area and Diocesan level. From this the faithful are encouraged to live out the mission of the Church. New Evangelisation, Catechesis and Youth Mission Teams offer opportunities for formation through various events held during the year.
The Diocesan Education Service supports the work of Voluntary Aided Catholic schools and Catholic Academies in the Diocese, through training, guidance and advice to head teachers, teachers and governors. This includes the development and monitoring of religious education, the Section 48 inspection of schools, advising on the appointment of senior staff and succession planning, and the maintenance and provision of school buildings. This Service works with the Regional Schools Commissioners, with the eleven local authorities that cover the Diocese, with the Governors of Voluntary Aided Schools, and the Directors of the Academy Trusts for the benefit of Diocesan schools. These Catholic Schools are open to those of all faiths and none providing a wider benefit.
For many years, the Trustees focused on the aims set out in the Bishop’s White Paper of 2000, setting these in the context of the issues and challenges the Diocese faces each year. In 2017 Bishop Davies asked the clergy to revisit these aims to provide a structure for delivery of the Diocesan objectives and aims for the coming years. The first stage of this is the proposal for Local Missionary Areas puts mission

## **Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
at the forefront at parish level and encourages the coming together of local parishes in mission. Roll out of this proposal is continuing, albeit that progress has been affected by the pandemic.
## Volunteers:
The work of the parishes in the celebration of Mass, the delivery of catechesis and sacramental preparation programmes is dependent on volunteers. Some 9,500 people volunteer within Diocesan parishes providing services as Extra-ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Lectors (Minsters of the Word), altar servers, catechists, cleaners, choir members & musicians, parish committee members, counters and collectors, and representatives for Gift Aid, Safeguarding and Health & Safety. A debt of thanks is owed for the support of this enormous army of people giving willingly of their time, their talents and their faith as without their support parishes could not function.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE:**
## **Faith and life:**
During the year under review, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Diocese continued. Whilst church closures were limited, the requirements for mandatory face masks and the social distancing rules in place following the emergence of new variants has meant that attendance at Mass was much lower than prior to the pandemic. The mission of the Diocese increased through provision of Mass online and the numbers accessing Mass in this way continue to be sizeable.
The parish activities and provision of sacraments such as Baptism, First Holy Communion and Confirmation have resumed during the year. It has been heartening to see the numbers coming forward for the sacraments, particularly those who were not able to access them during the first year of the pandemic.
Shrewsbury Youth Mission Team (SYMT) has continued with its learning and digital development. Since the year end, the easing of restrictions has facilitated face to face events and retreat days have been held in schools across the Diocese, along with some evening events for young people in parishes. More of this face-to-face engagement can continue, with digital ministry continuing to feature in how we reach out to young people.
The work of the Mission for Catechesis team within the Diocese was significantly curtailed during the year due to the pandemic, and fresh thinking was applied to the approach. The decision was taken in October of 2021 to amalgamate the Diocesan Mission for Catechesis and the Promotion of the Vocation of Marriage Teams (CPVM Mission Team) under the Directorship of Jane Deegan. The new team also assisted with the Synodal response analysis at the request of Bishop Mark, since the process could also help to inform their work. It was clear from some of the feedback (and also from a considerable number of the Synodal responses) that many people felt that their basic faith formation was lacking due to having been baptised as babies, sacramentalised as children but not receiving very much else by way of further catechetical formation, especially not as adults. In response to this, the courses for catechists and lay ministry have been revised, as well as new courses created, with support being given for those seeking to access training. Much work has been undertaken on marriage preparation courses, as well as marriage enrichment courses, courses for parents, and natural fertility awareness.
Pope Francis commenced a ‘synodal’ process in the Catholic Church from October 2021 that culminates in the final Synod Gathering of Bishops in Rome in October 2024. The overall theme is “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission”. The first phase of listening commenced in the Diocese in October 2021 and continued into Spring 2022. Details of the synodal process and its outcome are on the Diocesan website at http://www.dioceseofshrewsbury.org/news/latest-news/synod/

## **Education:**
Some 43,110 children attended Diocesan schools and academies (2021 – 42,818). The work with schools on school improvement and maintenance of standards continues with specific focus on those schools in categories 3 or 4 following an Ofsted inspection. In addition, the Education Service also provided a full programme of training to head teachers, teachers and governors.
## **Fundraising Approach:**
Fundraising within parishes outside of this campaign is overseen on a day-to-day basis by the parish priests. The Diocese also has a Planned Giving Department which supports clergy and parishes in their efforts and in compliance with Gift Aid legislation.
Begun in 2016, the Our Mission Together initiative proved to be both successful and popular. The three pillars of the campaign in strengthening parishes, caring for the clergy and mission and social outreach have been well supported with some £11.2m pledged by 4,574 people, after engaging with 81 parishes, to be collected over a five-year period. Undertaking Our Mission Together has enabled the establishment of Caritas Diocese of Shrewsbury, the recruitment of two clergy welfare officers, the formation of a Diocesan Youth Mission Team, and the Mission and Catechesis Team, as well as supporting seminarians as they train for the priesthood. The initiative had staggered commencement dates across the parishes of the Trust, and we are entering the final collections of these initial pledges. As we receive the final donations the Trust is reaching out to these donors on a “light touch” basis through a letter outlining how their funds have helped support the Trust and its operations, but also to engage to see whether they would like to make a new pledge.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW:**
During the year under review, the financial performance for the Trust as a whole, including its subsidiary companies, remained greatly influenced by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Throughout the financial period churches remined open, albeit there were periods of time with restrictions on attendance and the maintenance of social distancing as new variants of Covid emerged. Particularly during the winter months there continued to be a reticence for some people returning to Mass and other activities due to concerns about infection. However, there were times across the year when attendances improved as more general restrictions were eased and confidence returned to parishioners and users of the social clubs. Consequently, the total income for the period, including income from trading subsidiaries, has significantly increased by 25% to £12.5m (2021: £10m). In line with the income of the Trust rising, the cost of Raising Funds and its Charitable Activities have also significantly increased by 19% to £13m (2020: £10.9m). Whilst this is a much welcome improvement, the chart below illustrates that income remains below pre-pandemic levels:

Overall, the Parochial income was £7.6m, of which £1m arose from legacies (2021 – £5.9m and £106k). Offertory and Gift Aid amounted to £5.2m which has increased on the previous year by 8% from £4.8m, but still significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels.
The Furlough Grant Scheme was utilised across the Parishes to support the operating costs of administration locally and the parishes benefited by £65k (2021: £213k) of Government funding towards Parochial payroll, which is included within other income.
Expenditure of the Parishes increased by 20% from £5.4m in 2021 to £6.5m, as activity in the parishes started to return to normality post pandemic. The largest increase in cost over the financial period was through Repairs and Maintenance which stood at £2.3m up from £1.7m (35% increase).

Unrestricted income into the Trust excluding the government furlough scheme amounted to £832k (2021: £712K) an increase of 17%, with furlough grants received of £88k (2021: £376k) the loss of income reduces to 15%. The charitable expenditure of the unrestricted funds amounted to £2,314k (2020: £2,135k) an increase of 8% principally driven by return of activity in operations. Transfers received by the unrestricted fund totalled £2,071k (2021: £1,623k) of which £1,573k (2021: £991k) represented operational activity and £498k (2021: £632k) towards capital costs (principally the build costs of St Anthony’s project), see **Note 10.3** .
Investment income from the managed portfolio remained greatly affected by the pandemic and the affect this had on interest rates and rates of return. The income generated for the benefit of unrestricted funds in the year held steady at £313k (2021: £316k). The Diocesan Central fund position at the year-end showed a gain on investments of £2,210k (2021 £3,059k), demonstrating strong capital growth notwithstanding the rates of return. **See Investment Policy and Performance.**

Donations to support priests in sickness and retirement has been significantly impaired with a reduction to £58k (2021: 158k) a reduction of 63%, although the expenditure has also decreased by a similar amount to £556k (2021: £666k) a decrease of 17%. The costs are partially supported through Our Mission Together (Restricted) Fund and transfers have also increased by 16% to £267k, as the number of priests eligible for the support of this funding increases.
The fund itself currently has £7.2m in reserve, however the property portfolio is currently £7.4m a shortfall of funding of £319k, supported by the unrestricted reserves. There are empty properties within this portfolio currently for sale to address the current position.
## **Diocesan - Sherratt Fund (Designated):**
This Fund was created following the receipt of a legacy of £3.6m during the financial period ending March 2018 and have been designated by the Trustees to support projects with lasting benefits. In this year the Fund was utilised to rebuild the presbytery and parish centre at St Anthony’s in Wythenshawe, with the total spend of £1,007k with the works completing in the 2022 financial period. The closing reserves for the fund are £1,564 (2021: £2,393).
## **Diocesan - Our Mission Together Fund (Restricted):**
The purpose of Our Mission Together is the strengthening and advancing our parishes by responding to local needs; supporting a new generation of priests in their discernment and training and providing for our faithful priests through their years of service and for those moving into retirement; and developing our mission and social outreach.
Income received through donations and investment income totalled £786k (2021: £1,153k). During the year the first tranche of pledges reached their five-year anniversary and so came to the end of the pledge period. The reduction was entirely expected part of the cycle of giving. Direct expenditure of the fund equated to £319k (2021: £334k), which included £250k to support Caritas – Diocese of Shrewsbury (2021: £250k) and transfers on activity was £1.2m (2021: £686k), the fund received transfers on pledges from parishes of £249k (2021: £275k).
The closing funds associated with Our Mission Together was £3.9m (2021: £4m).

## **Diocesan - School Building Fund (Restricted):**
Income received from the Diocese, parents and schools totalled £563k (2021: £559k). Expenditure from this was £485k (2021: £478k) leaving £898k carried forward on 31 March 2022. This expenditure is used to support the 10% contribution needed to match Government funding received by the Diocese under the School Condition Allocations (SCA) scheme, which replaced LCVAP in April 2020.
## **Diocesan - Subsidiaries:**
The Diocese has several subsidiaries, and their results can be seen in Note 2. All the subsidiary results have shown a deficit due to the impact of the pandemic.
**Salop Service Company Ltd** operates a car park in Crewe for the benefit of the parish, and the losses incurred are anticipated to be short term, the car park was closed during the year to allow works for the Caritas/Parish centre to be built.
**Shrewsbury Diocese Commercial Co Ltd** operates social clubs and a cafe through the parish centres at sites across the diocese. As the company operates within the hospitality sector it was forced to close its sites as part of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this financial year the restrictions were finally lifted at the end of July 2021, trade remained subdued for the rest of the trading year due to variants of the virus that greatly affected the normally busy Christmas period. The loss of a profit centre immediately after the lifting of restrictions further restricted the ability of the organisation to reduce these losses further and in fact contributed £57k to the final position.
Due to the high operating cost of property the losses incurred have returned to pre-pandemic levels of £255k (2021: £513k deficit). The costs of maintaining the property was around £365k for the year It is recognised that the cost of property in the event of the closure of the clubs would become the responsibility of the Charity.
Alongside the commercial activity there are a number of parish and pastoral activities which take place, for example Fare Share café, food banks, and other social outreach work. SDCC supports this important work through managers/staff time to open the site plus the property costs of heat, light, and water, which come to around £75k each year. Work is ongoing to find funding to support these charitable activities, as these are important activities and a good use of the premises, this in include integration of activity between the Parishes and Caritas – Diocese of Shrewsbury.
Trading continues to recover from the pandemic post year-end, and some significant success has been attained within the Manchester based clubs, however the onset of inflation pressures through energy prices has placed greater strain on some sites. The management are examining the viability of all clubs, with a detailed analysis of each site and business plan to move the organisation forward.
**Hale Barns Events Ltd** holds an annual festival in July. This is the subsidiary’s fourth year of trading and has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions were still in place at the time of the July 2021 event, the event suffered through late line-up changes that resulted in ticket refunds but benefitted from reduced VAT on ticket sales and a small amount of furlough that reduced the losses incurred to £1k (2021: £12k).
Any surplus generated by the festival is for the benefit of the local parish to build a parish hall for the community, and because of the events’ held the Charity is receiving donations directly to support this

## **Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
project; therefore, the financial performance of the commercial activity alone cannot be the sole measure of success.
## **Risk Assessment and Risk Management:**
The Trustees have in place a risk management process to assess risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the operational areas, finances and investment assets. This involves assessing the likelihood and potential impact of occurrence and identifying means of mitigation. Whilst this has worked successfully, the Trustees have identified the benefits of undertaking an in-depth review of the risk policy and procedures to ensure that they are fit for purpose and all significant or material risks are identified.
The main areas of risk identified prior to the pandemic are the falling Mass attendance, reducing numbers of priests available to serve in parishes and the risk of safeguarding failures in relation to children and vulnerable adults. An additional risk is the inclination of parishioners to return to Mass in churches following the pandemic, as there is a mixed picture across both the Diocese and nationally. The decline in Mass attendance prior to the pandemic was lessening although it remains a risk. Some areas have benefitted from immigrant Catholics compensating for the loss of indigenous Catholics. As part of the future plans, the fundraising campaign has achieved significant funds to continue to support the Diocesan Youth Ministry team to, amongst other things, address the rate of decline in youth attendance at Mass. The work of the Director of Vocations is to help men to decide whether to embark on formation to the priesthood. The creation of the gap year facilities at the Cathedral is one of the measures being taken to promote vocations to the priesthood through offering a period of discernment before formal formation begins. The Trust has a rigorous safeguarding policy and parishes, and Diocesan activities are monitored for compliance. The Safeguarding team offers training to all clergy and safeguarding representatives including on-line training through Educare, the work of the Safeguarding Team is overseen by the Trustees through its Safeguarding Sub-Committee.
## **Investment Policy and Performance:**
The Trust Deed authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the Diocese, without any restrictions. The investment objective of the Trustees changed with effect from 1 April 2012 to one of income maximisation whilst protecting capital growth if possible. The overall risk is assessed as medium.
Schroder & Co Limited manages the investment portfolio on a discretionary basis within the parameters of the investment policy which restricts the investment managers from investing in any area that would be incompatible with the objectives of the Trust. The Trustees set performance targets and assesses the actual performance of the investment managers.

The total income from listed investments held by the Trust grew 7% to £474k (2021: £444k).
The value at 31 March 2022 held by Schroders was £20.9m (2021: £19.3m), during the year £250k (2021: £1.9m) was drawn from investments to support capital projects including that at St Anthony’s, Wythenshawe. The investment properties held had increased through professional valuation by £312k.
## **Reserves Policy:**
At 31 March 2022 the Trust had a total of £51.6m in reserves (2021: £49.9m), being restricted, designated and unrestricted funds.
The restricted funds total some £5,644k (2021 - £5,411k) including £534k Parochial restricted reserves. The Diocesan restricted funds are the accumulated surpluses created on Our Mission Together, the Pilgrimage Fund and School Building Fund as well as other funds and collections received for restricted purposes. Further details are set out in Note 11 to the accounts.
The designated funds of the Diocese comprise of £44.1m (2021 - £43.9m) made up of Parochial funds of £32.5m (2021 - £31.6m) and Diocesan designated funds of £11.7m (2021 - £12.5m). In Canon Law the parishes have the right to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods. While the funds of individual parishes could be regarded as restricted at Diocesan level, the Charity Commission has indicated that in civil law it considers that parish funds remain unrestricted at the Diocesan level. The Trustees have, however, designated these unrestricted funds as relating to the individual parishes from which they are derived.
The designated fund for retired clergy is used to support Diocesan retired and sick clergy. Transfers into the fund is made from parish collections, donations and, from time to time, from Diocesan unrestricted funds. The assets of the fund comprise £7.4m of residential property in which the retired clergy are housed. Each year the fund assets are depleted as the costs of the provision of retirement allowances/grants and other costs is in excess of the income from investments and collections. There are also approximately a further twenty priests due to retire within the next five years and the Trustees have identified that there are insufficient liquid assets held to meet the costs of those currently provided for by the fund as well as those due to retire. The fundraising campaign, now completed, will address the shortfall for the next five years and provide the appropriate level of liquid assets.
Page 12 of 40

## **Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
The Clergy Education and Training Fund is used for education and training purposes within the Diocese and for ongoing ministry. The fund stands at £3m (2021 - £2.7m) and is held in listed investments. Whilst the annual costs exceed the funds raised from collections which are currently supported through Our Mission Together, the balance of the fund is sufficient for the costs of seminarians currently in training to the end of their studies. One of the aims of the Bishop and Trustees is to increase vocations and again additional funds for promotion of vocations and training will be generated from the completion of the fundraising campaign.
The Sherratt Fund was established following the receipt of a legacy of £3.6m. Whilst there are no restrictions on the use of the funds under the terms of the legacy, the Trustees have decided that the funds should be used to support projects which would provide a lasting benefit to the Diocese. The first such project to be considered is the redevelopment of the presbytery and parish/social centre facilities at St Anthony in Wythenshawe at an indicative cost of £1.5m, works on this property completed in June 2021. This important church is at the heart of the parish of Our Lady Queen of Peace and the LPA in Wythenshawe and by investing in one of the poorest areas of the Diocese the Trustees are committing to the mission in the greatest area of need. The current reserves held are £1.6m.
Parochial funds, treated as designated funds of the Diocese need to be held by each parish to provide working funds, to meet future expenditure (particularly on property maintenance) that will not be met by future income and, in some cases, accumulate funds for a building programme. The properties held by parishes comprise the parish church or churches and, in most cases, a hall and presbytery. The maintenance costs of these can be substantial and frequently unpredictable. Excluding tangible fixed assets, the average reserves held by each parish is £150k, although the actual amounts held can be significantly above or below this average. Parishes with surplus funds are able to provide support to parishes in need either directly or through the Diocese.
The funds that can be realised only by disposal of fixed assets are £27m, comprising £16.7m for parishes and £10.3m for Diocese.
The remaining charity reserves after making allowances for any restricted funds and the amount of designations, commitments (not provided for as a liability in the accounts) or the carrying value of functional assets totalled £1.8m, all relating to the Diocese. The reserves held by charitable trading operations are nil as all surplus funds are remitted to the Trust. The Trustees are satisfied that this is appropriate as the operations are cash-based businesses with significant weekly turnover. The companies are closely monitored and managed to ensure that there is sufficient working capital to ensure that the businesses can meet their liabilities as they fall due.
The net costs of central operations are substantially covered by levies on parishes and anticipated income from other sources. The parish assessments are calculated on the basis of offertory income from two years prior to the year of assessment e.g. for the year to 31 March 2021 the offertory income from year to 31 March 2019 is used.
A consistent formula is used, and parishes are able to predict the assessment in advance of its collection to assist parish budgeting. Other anticipated sources of income such as collections and legacies are unpredictable and subject to unforeseen changes. Accordingly, reserves are required in order to meet possible shortfalls in income needed to meet current levels of expenditure.
The Trustees have not determined a fixed amount of general reserves that is needed but consider that the reserves need to be maintained to at least the current level in order to meet possible shortfalls in income.

## **FUTURE PLANS**
Looking to the coming year, the major challenge is to maintain the faith and life of the Diocese in the aftermath of a global pandemic including current economic uncertainty. The key elements include being able to sustain parish activities with ongoing Covid infections circulating in the general population, encouraging parishioners to return to attending Mass in church rather than online, and to sustain in person meeting of many of the groups and activities which form part of parish life. The Bishop and Trustees are aware of the pastoral and practical challenges that this entails and are pleased to report that plans are in motion in a number of areas:
- The Diocesan Department for Catechesis and the Promotion of the Vocation of Marriage will continue its work to support catechists, building on the foundations set in the year under review;.
- • SYMT will continue its blended delivery of in person and digital ministry to engage with young people across the Diocese
- Caritas Diocese of Shrewsbury will the see full opening of its new centre in Crewe in the coming year, and will continue its work with refugees across the Diocese;
- The environment is also high a key focus and the coming year will see much work in establishing the current carbon footprint of the Diocese, and identifying ways in which we can move to carbon neutrality.
- The Government White Paper on academies issued in March 2022 includes plans for a fully trustled system with a single regulatory approach, as the government wants all schools to be in or moving towards multi-academy trusts (MATs) by 2030. Work will continue in establishing a route map for Diocesan schools moving towards being part of one of the three Diocesan MATs.
In addition, there are continuing pressures on schools in terms of academic standards and also school finances, particularly during the pandemic. The Diocesan Education Service continues to support schools and work with those who require assistance.
The Trustees are still working towards operating through a corporate structure rather than as an unincorporated trust, which has progressed during the year. It is anticipated that this will be finalised in 2023.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The fixed assets and investments of the charity are vested in a trust with the Diocesan Trustees as the managing Trustees, of which there are eight.
## **Trustees:**
The affairs of the Charity are governed by the Trustees under the chairmanship of the Bishop. All Trustees are appointed and removed by the Bishop who is empowered to do so by the Trust Deed. The Board consists of six clergy and three laity of the faithful. The clergy Trustees are appointed for their expertise in parochial, spiritual and pastoral matters. The lay Trustees are selected for their skills and experience in charities, business, management and property. Further lay trustees would be chosen to match any perceived skill requirement. New Trustees are provided with the terms of reference and a pack of information relating to the constitution, governance and operation of the Trust. In order to ensure that the Trustees have the necessary up to date knowledge to govern the Charity, the Chair of Trustees has instigated a programme of trustee training, delivered by suitably qualified and experienced individuals. The Board has established various sub-committees to advise it on aspects of the Trust’s activities. The Bishop has also established certain commissions and councils to provide advice in other areas.

This Board is chaired by the Episcopal Vicar for Administration, a Trustee, and comprises senior clergy and lay professional people experienced in commerce, finance, education, personnel and property matters. The Board meets four times a year.
## **Health and Safety Sub-Committee:**
This is a recently established sub-committee chaired by a lay Trustee, responsible for oversight of matters of Health and Safety.

This sub-committee meets four times a year.
## **Academy and Standards Sub-Committee:**
The Committee has oversight of applications for academy conversions as well as oversight of standards in schools. It is chaired by a Vicar General as well as the Episcopal Vicar for Education. This subcommittee meets as required, although currently meetings are monthly.
## **Bishop’s Council:**
The Council comprises two Vicars General, Episcopal Vicars, other clergy and advisors and meets with the Bishop weekly.
## **Council of Priests and College of Consultors:**
The priests in these two bodies advise the Bishop on strategic issues affecting the parishes and Diocese.
## **Bishop’s Commissions and Committees:**
There are Bishops Commissions for Youth, New Evangelisation, Liturgy, Marriage & Family Life, Education, Boundaries, Justice Peace & Social Responsibility, and Christian Unity. There are Committees for Heritage, Arts & Architecture and Cemeteries. Each Committee and Commission advises the Bishop on its area of responsibility and each is chaired by the Bishop or by an Episcopal Vicar.
## **Parishes:**
The day-to-day administration of parishes is delegated to the parish clergy who are advised by their parish finance committee. Significant matters are approved by the Board of Finance and Administration and/or Trustees, such as the employment of staff or the approval of major repairs or large items of expenditure.
## **Remuneration Policy:**
Annual pay changes are approved by the Trustees. Periodically pay rates, including those for key management personnel, are benchmarked against market rates, particularly when recruiting or if staff move into significant roles. Recruitment is approved and monitored by the Board of Finance and Administration and/or Trustees in accordance with budgeted expenditure.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES:**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection fraud and other irregularities.

**Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
## **Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Shrewsbury Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust**
## **Opinion:**
We have audited the financial statements of Shrewsbury Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the charity and group Balance Sheets, the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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:
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group’s net movement in funds for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion:**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 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.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern:**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information:**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Annual 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
Page 17 of 40
## _**SHREWSBURY ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESAN TRUST**_
## **Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material 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:**
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:
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the parent charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements:**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on Page 17, the trustees 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 the trustees 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 group’s and the parent 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 the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements:**
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 statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to Canon Law, employment law, safeguarding regulations and Charity Law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP.
Page 18 of 40
## _**SHREWSBURY ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESAN TRUST**_
## **Consolidated Annual Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2022**
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
Review of minutes of trustees’ meetings; Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; Identifying and testing journals; and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. These related to depreciation, investment property valuations and accrued legacies.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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’s trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

_**SHREWBURY ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESAN TRUST**_ NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022
## 1 **Principle Accounting Policies:**
## 1.1 **Basis of Preparation:**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015)(Second Edition, effective 1st January 2019), applicable accounting standards and the Charities Act 2011. The Charity's operations which are all continuing are as follows:
- Parochial - Consolidation of Diocesan Parish Accounts
- Diocesan - Consolidation of Central Funds and 3 (three) Subsidiary Company Accounts
The statement of financial activities ("the SOFA") and balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary companies, Shrewsbury Diocese Commercial Co Ltd, Salop Service Company Limited, and Hale Barns Events Limited. The results of the subsidiary companies are consolidated on a line by line basis. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
## 1.2 **Preparation of the Accounts on a Going Concern Basis:**
In light of the advent of the Covid-19, the board of trustees have examined in detail the impact the pandemic has inflicted upon the charity. Which include a detailed analysis of budgets, cash flow forecasts, and analysis of available grants to support the required staffing levels across the organisation.
In addition to the analysis the charity holds significant investments in property as well as equity investments it can draw upon in the event of impairment in cash flows, that cover more than 12 months costs.
In consideration of all the above the trustees confirm that they have no material uncertainties about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
## 1.3 **Income:**
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the Diocese receives written confirmation of the amount, it is probable that the income will be received and it can be reasonably be measured in financial terms. Legacies are recognised as an entitlement at the earlier of either notification from the executor that a grant of probate has been received and the charity is expected to receive a distribution which can be measured reliably, or a distribution has been made from the estate.
Where legacies have been notified to the Charity but the criteria for income recognition has not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income from fundraising trading is included in the period that the relevant services are provided or goods supplied. This includes income from subsidiary companies, further details of which can be found in NOTE 2.
Investment income is credited to income when it is receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity, This is normally on notification of interest paid by the bank or in the case of listed investments on notification of the amount paid directly to the brokers, Schroders.
The Diocese receives substantial help from volunteers. It is not possible to place a financial value on this work and no amounts are therefore included in the financial statements for the value of services donated by volunteers. Gifts of fixed assets are included at valuation and recorded as donation income.
## 1.4 **Expenditure:**
Expenditure is recognised as a liability as soon as there is legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be reasonably measured.
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability incurred, inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Costs of raising funds compromises all costs relating to attracting voluntary income, the costs of goods sold in fundraising trading and other related costs. They have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable activities expenditure comprises of those costs associated with the objects of the Diocese.

The cost of motor vehicles, office equipment and fixtures and fittings is capitalised and depreciation is provided to write off the original cost, less any estimated residual value, over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. The rates of depreciation applied are as follows:
||% of cost per annum|
|---|---|
|- Motor Vehicles|25|
|- Office Equipment, Fixtures and Fittings|10/20|
|- Computer Equipment|33|
## 1.7 **Tangible Fixed Assets - Functional Church Property:**
Prior to 31st March 1996 capital expenditure on functional church property was written off in full as incurred.
At 31st March 1996 the Trustees considered that a reasonable approximation of the net book value of the functional church property would be established through discounting the insurance replacement values of these assets by 90%. This is the policy employed to include these assets on the balance sheet at estimated historic cost net of accumulated depreciation.
The Trustees estimated that the average useful life for functional church property held at 31st March 1996 was eighty years. On the basis of an estimated average remaining useful life of forty years from 1st April 1996, this property is depreciated at 2.5% p.a.
From 1st April 1996 the cost of new functional church property, namely Cathedral, churches, presbyteries, halls and other church properties is depreciated at the following rates:
||% of cost per annum|
|---|---|
|- Land Element|Nil|
|- Building Element|1.25|
|- Church and Presbytery Contents|10|
Where church buildings are disposed of and the original cost cannot be established, the Trustees consider that a reasonable approximation of costs is 10% of the sales price.
Works of art, treasures and plate are not capitalised in these accounts as they are historic, have extraordinarily long lives and are worth preserving in perpetuity. The Trustees consider that it would be prejudicial to the safe custody of these assets to disclose details of their values and usage in the accounts.
## 1.8 **Tangible Fixed Assets - School Property:**
The freehold of the land and buildings is legally owned by the Diocese and occupied rent free by the governing bodies of Catholic voluntary-aided schools and voluntary academies, which are separate charities and publicly funded. The schools occupy the land and buildings under licence and termination of the occupation and therefore closure of the school would be dependent upon agreement with others such as the school governors, local authorities and the Secretary of State. In some circumstances, where a disposal occurs, the Secretary of State or the local authority may be entitled to recoup any grant. The Trustees therefore consider that the value to the Diocese of this land and building is impaired and therefore these properties have not been capitalised in the financial statements.
The number of schools occupying such land and buildings is:
||Number|
|---|---|
|- Primary Schools|86|
|- High Schools|19|
|- Sixth Form College|1|
||106|
The insurance replacement value of the school properties at 31st March 2022 amounted to £536m. (2021 - £536m)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022
## _**SHREWSBURY ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESAN TRUST**_
## 1 **Principle Accounting Policies (continued)**
## 1.9 **Investments and Investment Properties:**
Investments and investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their market value at the balance sheet date. Investment properties are re-valued by an independent valuer on an open market basis and on a rolling programme of revaluation.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market value during the year and are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end.
## 1.10 **Stock:**
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
## 1.11 **Financial Instruments - Assets and Liabilities:**
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash held in short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## 1.12 **Taxation:**
The Charity considers that it satisfies the exemptions from taxation set out in the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and the Taxations of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 and thus no provision is made for taxation.
## 1.13 **Pensions:**
Teaching staff employed by the Charity are eligible for membership of the Teachers Pension Scheme, which is a national, statutory contributory, unfunded defined benefit scheme administered by the Teachers Pension Agency, and executive agency of the Department of Education and Employment Pension costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of the Government Actuary.
The Charity operates a group personal pension scheme and a NEST pension scheme for other members of staff. The defined contribution scheme is administered by an Insurance Company with the assets held separately from those of the Charity. The NEST scheme is a scheme for those employees falling within the provisions of Autoenrollment. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the Charity in the year.
## 1.14 **Recognised Gains or Losses:**
All recognised gains or losses for the year ended 31st March 2022 and 31st March 2021 are derived from continuing activities and are included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## 1.15 **Areas of Judgement or Estimation:**
The preparation of financial statements in line with FRS102 and the Charities' SORP requires the Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Trustees recognise that actual results may differ from estimates used. Areas where such judgements and estimates have been applied are within the claculation of Depreciation and the Valuation of Investments.
## 1.16 **Fund Accounting:**
The Diocese has the following funds which are shown separately in the accounts:
## _Unrestricted Funds - General_
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes (NOTE 10.2).
## _Unrestricted Funds - Designated_
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for a specific purpose (NOTE 10.1).
## _Restricted Funds_
Restricted funds are funds that are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements (NOTE 11).
## 1.17 **General Information:**
The Diocese is an unincorporated charity that is registered in England and Wales (charity number 234025). Its address is 2 Park Road South, Birkenhead. CH43 4UX.

The Diocese contributes to a group personal pension scheme managed by Prudential for those eligible staff 13.6 members who elected to join before 2014. The Diocese contributes to NEST pension scheme for all staff joining since 2014. The Diocese is neither liable to finance any funding shortfall nor entitled to benefit from any overfunding in either scheme. Contributions are also paid to the Teachers Pension Agency superannuation scheme (a defined benefits scheme) for eligible staff. The employers' contribution rate is set by the TPA and, as the scheme is a collective scheme, it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities attributable to a particular employer. Hence the employers have neither a commitment to make good any actuarial deficit nor an entitlement to benefit from any over funding.
