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

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Christ Church Lands Charity for the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The objects of the Charity are: 

Firstly to support persons in the parish in need, hardship or distress and to support the Christ Church Exhibition Fund (325124). The charity aims to provide help to transient persons living in the parish through provision of food, clothing etc. via the Community of the Sisters of the Church. 

Secondly to support the parish of Christ Church in the City of Bristol by paying towards the stipend of the Curate and Incumbent of the benefice, by paying clergy or licensed lay workers to conduct services in the parish, for other religious or charitable work of the Church of England in the parish or the Archdeaconry of Bristol. The charity aims to support the clergy associated with the parish in the provision of regular worship at Christ Church. 

Thirdly, for the repair, maintenance and insurance of the fabric of Christ Church. The charity aims to ensure that funds are available to the Parochial Church Council. 

The Trustees' main objective for 2022 was to look after the property and investments in the light of the purposes for which the Trust was established. The Trustees are confident that the insurance cover on the properties is sufficient. The Trustees have continued to consider the market value of the properties and intend to perform a full revaluation in the year ended 31 December 2023. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

The Trustees’ main aim this year was to continue to make decisions placed before them based on their familiarity with the properties and investments. A property sub-committee meets regularly to assist with this. 

## **b. Investment policy and performance** 

The investments held at the end of the year are as set out in the attached accounts. 

The funds aim at steady income and capital appreciation to provide long-term protection from inflation. These objects are reviewed annually with the stockbrokers.

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

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Financial review** 

Total income for the year amounted to £150,324 (2021: £109,769) and total expenditure amounted to £154,469 (2021: £104,768) leaving net losses, before revaluations and investment gains, of £4,415 (2021: surplus of £5,001).  Investment losses amounted to £200,409 (2021: gains of £130,631). 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The Trustees are making an annual provision for the Church Fabric and for the repairs to properties. 

Total funds amounted to £2,661,431 (2021: £2,865,985) of which £2,127,203 (2021: £2,327,612) related to endowment funds, £534,228 (2021: £502,559) related to restricted funds and £Nil (2021: £35,814) related to the unrestricted property repair fund. 

## **c. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

The Charity's financial position was adversely affected by COVID-19. The Charity experienced reduced income in the prior two years but there has been some recovery in the current year. The Trustees will continue to monitor the position and are confident that the going concern basis for the accounts is appropriate. The Charity's capacity to award grants will continue to be monitored as income recovers. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

Christ Church Lands Charity is a registered charity, number 253387, and is constituted under a Trust deed. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

The Trustees of the Charity are appointed in accordance with the Charity Commission Scheme dated 15 September 2005 under Charity number 253387.

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

## **Structure, governance and management (continued)** 

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** 

The Trustees have supervised the administration of the Charity in accordance with the provisions of the Charity Commission Scheme, and applied the income in accordance with those provisions. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

The Trustees’ investment policy objectives are to obtain the maximum income by investing prudently and cautiously in a portfolio comprised of real property, equities, fixed income stock and cash. The portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis by the appointed stockbrokers and professionally qualified property managers. 

The Trustees continue to retain the freehold property which originally formed part of the endowment where the net income (after costs of maintaining the property) justifies their retention. 

All decisions are made at full Trustees’ meetings and carried out on a day to day basis by the Clerk. 

## **d. Financial risk management** 

The Trustees have examined the major strategic operational risks which the Charity may face and will ensure that, to the extent that they do not already exist, systems are established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to minimise these risks. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Trustees’ aims for the future are to continue to keep the properties fully let and in a state of good repair, and are fully committed to ensuring that the provisions of the Charity Commission Scheme of the 15 September 2005 continue to be fully met.

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

## **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 & 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 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.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christ Church Lands Charity ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 21. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, which is complete, no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Christ Church Lands Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

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

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

Page 6 



## **CHRIST CHURCH LANDS CHARITY** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

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

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

## **1. General information** 

Christ Church Lands Charity is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales, registered number 253387. The registered office is 1 All Saints Court, Bristol, BS1 1JN. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view. 

Christ Church Lands Charity 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. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

The Trustees are confident that they can manage expenditure to align with the income generated from investment returns despite reductions in returns due to the COVID-19 pandemic in prior years. As a result, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **2.3 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. 

Direct charitable expenditure included in the Statement of Financial Activities represents the amounts paid from the restricted funds during the year. Grants paid are made in accordance with the Charity Commission Scheme. 

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Costs of generating funds are Investment management costs and those costs incurred in respect of maintaining, insuring and letting the properties. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

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

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.5 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.6 Taxation** 

The Charity is a registered charity and as such is not liable to taxation on the net income from its charitable activities. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. 

## **2.7 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **2.8 Investment properties** 

Investment properties are included in the Balance Sheet at their open market value in accordance with FRS 102 and are not depreciated. 

## **2.9 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.10 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## **2.11 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

**CHRIST CHURCH LANDS CHARITY** 

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

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.12 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.13 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which 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. 

Endowment funds comprise the Reserve Fund and the Accumulation Fund. The Reserve Fund is for the repair and maintenance of the property of the charity, in addition to the church Fabric Fund. The Accumulation Fund represents unexpended income which was paid into the fund as capital prior to the scheme. The income from this fund must be used for the purposes set out in clause 21(3)(b) of the trust deeds.
