THE SOCIETY OF THE CATHOLIC APOSTOLATE CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are set out in the trust deed and are to undertake such charitable purposes which advance the religious and other charitable work for the time being carried on by the Pallottine Fathers. There has been no change in these objects during the year.
The Society of the Catholic Apostolate is a community of priests and brothers who endeavour to revive the faith of the entire People of God, to re-enkindle their love and to spread these virtues throughout the whole world so that soon there may be but one flock and one shepherd.
In particular the Society awakens and deepens in all the Faithful an awareness of their apostolic vocation, it encourages them to take an active part in the apostolate and it helps them to be ready and willing to co-operate with one another in carrying out our apostolate activities.
The Society undertakes to co-operate with other apostolate efforts of the Church and to develop forms of the apostolate which are in accordance with the needs of our times.
It works with all its energy for unity among Christians and it strives to communicate the Good News to those who do not know it, so that the Church may be a more effective sign of unity and salvation for the whole world.
To accomplish this, the Society will use whatever means are appropriate to promote, defend, and nourish Christian life. It prefers those works which best respond to its aims and for which it is best suited as a community of priests and brothers. Moreover, in selecting apostolate activities, it considers the more urgent needs of the Church, the conditions of the times and local circumstances, and promotes social justice according to the teachings of the Gospel. Therefore, in its apostolic works, it is open to the needs of socially neglected groups, such as the poor, the aged, the sick and all those who in any way are the object of social discrimination.
The Society, will, according to its possibilities, promote and use the means of social communication and all other means which are particularly useful to the spread of the gospel and of Christian values. Our mission demands that we be always open to the spiritual aspirations and religious needs of people.
The Society, in the service of the missionary task of the Church, strives to bring knowledge of the Gospel to those who do not yet know it. Missionaries in their efforts to implant knowledge of the Church will be ready to conform to the way of life of the land in which they work and to incorporate into the life of the Christian community the values of the local culture. At the same time, they spare no effort to bring about improvements in social and cultural conditions, if such are required.
Public benefit
The charity's trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, they have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
The Charity continue to manage the Catholic parishes of our Lady of the Visitation Greenford (OLOV), St Mary Star of the Sea Hastings, St Thomas Moore Barking. All of our parishes provide a full range of services to the Catholic community. We also provide a range of facilities for the wider community.
OLOV became agile in the wake of COVID19 and we set up streaming to allow parishioners to have mass online and for greater participation at funerals, when numbers were limited due to COVID restrictions. Telephone calls increased and counselling was done via telephone, where appropriate. When restrictions allowed, hospital visits were done and contact with parishioners who live alone began. As churches were allowed to open, a lot of time and attention was made to ensure our Church was a safe place to worship with volunteers on hand to ensure seating arrangements were COVID safe and our capacity was not breached. Our repository shop opened again with COVID measures to ensure employees and the community were safe to book masses and purchase items.
Greenford Parish Profile
Greenford which forms part of the London Borough of Ealing is the Church of Our Lady of the Visitation where almost three thousand people worship at the Church every weekend. There are also regular religious education classes offered to children and young adults preparing to make their first Holy Communion and Confirmation Rites. Assistance in religious education also extends to approximately three thousand pupils who attend the Nursery, Primary and Secondary Schools which are situated on the same site as the Church.
A significant proportion of the work carried out by the Pallottine Fathers is devoted to visiting people who are sick, lonely, in prison or suffering drug addiction. They visit them in their homes, in hospital and in care homes on a regular basis to offer friendship, pastoral and spiritual comfort.
Financial review
Financial position
During the year the charity had net incoming resources of £11,291 (2020: net outgoing resources of £27,141) as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 5. The funds and assets of the charity are held to enable the priests and lay workers to provide the religious work carried out by the Society. The charity's land and buildings have been included in the accounts at cost in accordance with accounting standards since all are held and used for charitable purposes.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds which have not been designated, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level equivalent to approximately 6 to 12 months expenditure. At the end of the year the trustees are aware that free reserves are significantly in excess of this amount but anticipate this will be used in the following period.
The unrestricted reserves are now £485,236 (2020: £192,515), with designated reserves of £831,408 (2020: £1,092,221) and restricted funds are £236,768 (2020: £257,385).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Society of The Catholic Apostolate Charitable Trust is a charity and their registered charity number is 252929.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Donations, legacies and similar incoming resources are included in the year in which they are receivable which is when the charity became entitled to the resource.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income from masses and repository income and is recognised as earned.
Other income includes the profit from disposal of fixed assets.
1.5 Expenditure

page 8
THE SOCIETY OF THE CATHOLIC APOSTOLATE CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Expenditure on charitable activities which is the provision of religious services and their associated support costs.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include office related costs and governance costs which support the charity's activity. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities. Only one direct charitable activity has been identified so all support costs are in relation to that activity.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance by the trustees of the charity's assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements of operating the charity.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
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:
Freehold property Straight line over 50 years Long leasehold Straight line over 50 years Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% Straight line Motor vehicles Straight line over 4 years
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 recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.8 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.
1.9 Taxation
The charity is not subject to corporation tax or any other taxes on income or gains arising from its charitable objectives.
1.10 Debtors, cash and creditors
Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
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.
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably results 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.
1.11 Investments
Current asset investments are stated at market value. Gains and losses on investments are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The main judgement and accounting estimates included in the accounts are:
- Depreciation - Management has made assumptions and estimated depreciation rates in respect of showing a true and fair view of the assets at the balance sheet date.

21 Impact of COVID-19
At the reporting date COVID-19 caused widespread lockdown measures to be imposed in the UK and worldwide. This has resulted in a reduction in both supply and demand in the economy. It is not currently possible to estimate the impact this will have on the future financial results of the charity. The Trustees have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the results reported for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 and consider that all COVID-19 related costs and effects have been reflected in the accounts.
