## **TRUSTEES'  REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022 under the Charities Act 2011 together with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Charity for the year and confirm that the latter comply with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2019. 

## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** 

The Daughters of Divine Charity is an international religious congregation divided into seven Provinces and three Vice Provinces. The English Vice Province is administered by the Provincial Superior together with a Council consisting of two councillors. The Council is elected by the members of the Province for a term of four years. 

Included within The Daughters of Divine Charity are two separate charities: Daughters of Divine Charity, Hunstanton, at St Theresa's Convent (referred to in this document as "the Charity"), and Daughters of Divine Charity, Chesterfield, at St Joseph's Convent and Mother Most Admirable, Rochdale. Together these charities constitute the English Province. Given the common control exercised by the trustees over both charities, these financial statements consolidate both entities, and together they are referred to as the "group". 

The financial statements accompanying this report are the financial statements of the group on which the assets of the Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton, and of Daughters of Divine Charity Chesterfield, being part of the English Province, are held. St Theresa's Convent, Hunstanton is governed by a Trust Deed dated 20th August 1964 and is registered with the Charity Commission, Charity Registration No. 237760. St Joseph's Convent Chesterfield is governed by a Trust Deed dated 6th July 1965 and is registered with the Charity Commission, Charity Registration No. 527184.

## **DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE CHARITY, HUNSTANTON** 

## **TRUSTEES'  REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Both charities' Trust Deeds state that the Trust's principal objectives are the advancement of and support for the charitable work being carried on by the Congregation, the advancement of religious education or such charitable work as the Trustees think fit in support of the Roman Catholic Religion, with the approval of the Provincial Superior. 

## **Policy** 

In fulfilment of the objectives of the Trust it is the policy of the group to undertake a range of charitable activities. The principal areas in which the group is involved are set out below: 

## 1. **Education** 

The Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton own the Freehold Land and Buildings which comprised the Sacred Heart School, Swaffham. The School closed on 31st August 2019 for financial reasons. The school premises have been leased to the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia and education continues on the site as the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic VA School. 

St Joseph's Convent Chestfield owns the Freehold Land and Buildings which comprise the St Joseph's Little Scholars Nursery School which it operates as an independent fee paying nursery. 

Members of the Congregation work in the School as unpaid welfare assistants. The English Province relies heavily on Members from Overseas Provinces (e.g. Croatia and Poland) visiting to carry out these functions. 

## 2. **Social and Pastoral Care** 

Members of the Congregation undertake work within the community and local parish, providing family support and giving religious and material support to those in need. 

## 3. **Missions** 

The English Province supports the establishment and running of overseas missions by the Congregation. 

The objective, the advancement of the Roman Catholic Religion, permeates all the work of the members of the Congregation. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The trustees believe they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their powers or duties. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the year, the Congregation was active in the field of education thanks to the Nursery at Chesterfield. Pupil numbers for the year totalled 42 compared to 52 last year.

## **DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE CHARITY, HUNSTANTON** 

## **TRUSTEES'  REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Total consolidated income for the year was £353,094 (2021: £409,385), all of which was unrestricted. The consolidated results for the year show net income of £(762) (2021 : £41,155) 

Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton had income in the year of £77,837 (2021: £160,196), expenditure of £84,833 (2021: £104,785), and net expenditure of £6,996 (2021: net income of £55,411) (see note 2). 

Daughters of Divine Charity Chesterfield, which runs the nursery, had income in the year of £275,257 (2021: £249,189), expenditure of £269,023 (2021: £263,445), and net income of £6,234 (2021: £14,256). 

## **Risk Assessment** 

The Trustees review risks to which the Charity may be exposed. Those applicable to Swaffham site are now minimal as the school is occupied by the Diocese on a 99 year full repairing lease. 

The risk at Hunstanton is shortage of residents which is compounded by the non availability of Sisters to staff the facility. Accordingly the Provincial Council is now reviewing the future of the Hunstanton Convent. 

The main risk at Chesterfield is a shortage of pupils.  A new manager was appointed in January this year and is developing ideas to increase pupil numbers for the next academic year. 

## **Investment Performance** 

The Group and Charity no longer hold cash in investment accounts. However the group and charity do now hold programme related investments being in the form of property. The programme related investment relates to the school at Swaffham let to the Dioicese. 

## **Going Concern** 

The Trustees have considered the ability of Daughters of Divine Charity as a Group, including both Hunstanton and Chesterfield, to continue as a going concern. The Group has total funds of £3,089,138 at year end, including free reserves of £1,063,595 (2021: £1,048,468) and cash of £1,083,977 (2021: £1,086,243). Pupil levels at Chesterfield have returned to normal and residents have remained in the home at Hunstanton. 

Given the above, the Trustees consider that the Group and Charity will continue for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore it is appropriate to prepare these on a going concern basis.

## **TRUSTEES'  REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Reserves** 

At the end of the year the total consolidated funds of the group were £3,089,138 (2021:£3,089,900). Of this sum £851,796 (2021: £867,685) represents tangible fixed assets necessary for the charitable activities and £1,173,747 (2021:£1,173,747) represents programme related investments. The remaining £1,063,595 (2021:£1,048,468) is considered by the Trustees to reflect the true consolidated 'free reserves' position. 

The reserves of Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton totalled £2,186,965 at 31 December 2022 (2021:£2,193,961), Of this, £1,417,576 (2021: £1,420,966) represents fixed assets, leaving net liabilities of the school of £Nil (2021: £Nil). 

The reserves of Daughters of Divine Charity Chesterfield totalled £902,173 at 31 December 2022 (2021:£895,939), Of this, £607,967 (2021:£620,466) represents fixed assets, leaving free reserves of the school of £294,206 (2021:£275,473). 

Reserves are held for the following reasons: 

1. To provide a sound financial base to support the future activities of the Charity. A target of three months running costs has been set, which equates to £67,256 for the year ended 31 December 2022 in respect of Chesterfield only. The Swaffham school complex has now been leased to the Roman Catholic Diocese and surplus property has been sold. 

2. To provide for the future care and support of the older members of the Congregation. The Province currently has eleven members but the average age of the Congregation remains high. 

The trustees consider the current level of reserves to be adequate given the above policy. Going concern has been considered and is considered appropriate given the sum of free reserves. 

## **Investment powers policy and performance** 

Under the Order's Trust Deed there are no limitations in the Trustees' powers of investment. 

Other investments at 31 December 2022 are programme related investments which is property used by another charitable organisation with similar purposes as Daughters of Divine Charity. This is not considered to add additional risk to the group or charity. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees will continue to carefully formulate future policies. 

The ongoing development of St Joseph's Little Scholars Nursery School will continue to be the main objective of Daughters of Divine Charity, Chesterfield.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE CHARITY, SWAFFHAM** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 20. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

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

- 2       the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

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

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

## **DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE CHARITY, HUNSTANTON** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **1.1 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING** 

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) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give us a “true and fair” view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a “true and fair view”. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

Daughters of Divine Charity, Hunstanton meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

The accounts are presented in Pounds Sterling and are rounded to the nearest Pound. 

## **1.2 GOING CONCERN** 

The Trustees have considered the ability of Daughters of Divine Charity to continue as a going concern and it has healthy reserves as a group. The parent charity, Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton, has now closed the school at Swaffham and a Faith School operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia opened in September 2019. Surplus property has been sold. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **1.3 FUND ACCOUNTING** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Unrestricted funds represent the accumulated surpluses and deficits in the general fund which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the charity's objectives. 

## **1.4 GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The financial statements consolidate the results of the Daughters of Divine Charity Hunstanton, and its controlled entity Daughters of Divine Charity Chesterfield, on a line-by-line basis.

## **DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE CHARITY, HUNSTANTON** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.5 INCOME** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income), the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Donations, grants and gifts are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any donations with relevant Gift Aid certificates recognised in income for the year. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors. 

Interest on deposit funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the investment portfolio. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable 

Fees receivable are accounted for in the period in which the relevant services are provided. Bursaries or allowances are accounted for separately. 

## **1.6 EXPENDITURE** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Direct charitable expenditure consists of all expenditure directly relating to the objects of the Charity. Certain central costs which cannot be directly apportioned are allocated between direct charitable expenditure and governance costs on the basis of the Trustees' estimate of the time spent on the relevant functions. Supplies of games equipment, books, stationery and sundry materials are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as the expenditure is incurred. 

Grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees. 

Governance costs comprise the costs of running the charity including audit, any legal or professional advice and all costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of preparing statutory accounts. 

Irrecoverable VAT is included with the category of expense to which it relates. 

## **1.7 TAXATION** 

The Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to the charitable purposes.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **1.8 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION** 

Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. 

Assets donated for use by the charity are recognised as income when receivable and capitalised at their open market value. 

Items costing less than £250 are written off as an expense as acquired. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected economic useful lives on the following basis: 

Land Nil Freehold property 2% straight line Fixture & fittings 10%-15% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance 

## **1.9 DEBTORS** 

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due. 

## **1.10 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and 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. 

## **1.11 CREDITORS** 

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

## **1.12 PENSIONS** 

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 16. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included with the associated staff costs and allocated therefore to raising funds, charitable activities, support and governance costs and charged to the unrestricted funds of the charity. 

## **1.13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
