Redland Chapel Trust REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2024

Reference and administrative information

The Redland Chapel Trust has its administrative office at the address of the Clerk, Mr P O’Conor, 51 Downs Park West, Henleaze, Bristol, BS6 7QL. It is registered with Charity Commissioners in England and Wales under number 255141.

The Trust was founded in 1749 and was registered as a charity from 1968. It is governed by its rules and charity schemes dated 20 February 1961, 12 December 1975, and 9 June 1987.

Structure, governance, and management

The Charity is administered by the Trustees as set out in the general information on page 1. The Trust Deed prescribes that there should be three Nominative trustees (one each from the PCCs of Redland Parish Church and Westbury Parish Church and the third is the Archdeacon of Bristol Diocese). The power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the continuing Trustees. Induction and training of new Trustees comprises an initial meeting with the Chairman followed by further discussion with the Secretary on investments, the grant making process and the powers and responsibilities of the Trustees.

Objectives and activities

The Objectives of the charity are, in order of priority, to apply the income received in defraying the cost of repairs and insurance of Redland Chapel, in maintaining an extraordinary repair fund for the chapel and the Minister’s house and assisting, at the Trustees’ discretion, the vicar of the parish of Redland in the performance of his duties by making a grant or contributing to his stipend. The income may also be applied, at the Trustee’s discretion, to supplement the stipend of the vicar of the ecclesiastical parish of Westbury-on-Trym or in contributing to the maintenance and improvement of the parsonage house.

Finally, the income is to be applied to further the religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the parishes of Redland and Westbury-on-Trym.

The Trustees confirm their investment policy is to provide a balance of income and capital growth. The Trustees seek to maintain a sum, assessed from time to time in the light of probable future expenditure, in cash reserves to meet that expenditure. The management of the Trust investments is delegated to Evelyn who report on a regular basis to the Trustees.

The Trustees also resolve to seek, where possible, to fulfil their charitable objects by providing funds to the parishes of Redland and Westbury-on-Trym to enable and encourage each of those parishes to undertake longer-term projects to expand and develop the pastoral activities in their respective parishes. In exercising the Trust’s charitable objects, the Trustees have considered and are satisfied that there are no conflicts of interest .

The uncertainty in the stock market is a concern. This continues to be monitored by the Trustees under the advice and guidance of their investment advisers. However, it has not adversely affected the Trust's ability to fulfil its charitable objects.

The Trustees confirm that in setting the objectives of the Trust they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Financial Review

In the year, the Charity had net surplus for the year of £72,967 being £11,690 net income before investment gains and £61,307 gains on investments (2023: net deficit of £139,418). The total net assets of the Charity are £1,452,697 (2023: £1,379,700) largely due to the increase in the value of its investments in the year.

During the year the Charity was able to increase the extraordinary repair funds to enable future support of the work of the two parishes.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements, the Trust’s governing documents and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Redland Chapel Trust REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ( continued ) for the year ended 31 March 2024

Reserves policy

A minimum level of reserves are held to cover planned future expenditure, reserve levels at present are higher than this level of activity. However significant resources are likely to be required to assist in repairs to the church building. This will impact the ability of the trust to provide for the other purposes of the Trust (maintaining the vicarage and supporting the ministry of the two parishes). Available reserves held at the year-end are £1,452,697 (2023: £1,379,700) of which £1,198,615 are held in investments (2023 £1,146,010). Reserves are all unrestricted but £105,450 is designated for use against future costs relating to the Chapel and Vicarage (2023: £83,611) (for detail see note 13).

Investment Policy

It is the Trust’s aim to maintain the real value of the investments while generating income to meet the charity’s activities. The Capital Fund is part of the General Fund and, in exceptional circumstances, its investments can be used to support the charity’s activities.

Achievements and performance

During the year, the Trust continued to support the work of Redland Parish and Westbury Parish churches by providing finance for youth and families work in the parishes. The Trust also paid the insurance premium for Redland Chapel. There were no repairs required to the Chapel or Vicarage.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Redland Chapel Trust NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2024

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The Redland Chapel Trust is an unincorporated registered Charity with the Charity Commission. The registered office is 51 Downs Park West, Bristol, BS6 7QL. The principal objectives of the charity are detailed in the Report of the Trustees found on page 2 of these financial statements.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust, and amounts are rounded to the nearest £. The objectives of the Trust are detailed in the Report of the Trustees. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) second edition – October 2019 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019 and therefore has applied the exemption for small charities from preparing a Statement of Cash Flows.

The charity has adopted the Charities SORP (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than applying the Charities 2005 SORP which has been withdrawn but is still referred to in the extant Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. This departure has been necessary for the financial statements to show a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the Trust are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see investment policy and performance and risk management sections of the trustees’ annual report for more information).

(b) Funds structure

All funds are unrestricted. The Capital Fund is a fund held to provide regular income for use in accordance with the objects of the charity. Any unrealised gains or losses arising on investments form part of the Capital Fund. When a gain is realised, it is apportioned between income and capital according to the opening balance. Further information is given in note 13 on pages 13 and 14.

(c) Income recognition

All income is recognised when the Trust is entitled to it and that it is measurable and probable that the Trust will receive it. Income from investments is accounted for by reference to the payment date of distributions and interest falling due within the accounting period. Interest on bank and other deposits is accounted for on a receipts basis; the amount of any accrued interest is not material.

7 Registered Charity Number: 255141 These unaudited financial statements have been subjected to independent examination. See report on page 4.

Redland Chapel Trust NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2024

(d) Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a 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 measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.

(e) Irrecoverable VAT

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

(f) Allocation of support and governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include the annual independent examination and clerks’ fees.

(g) Raising funds

Investment management fees are charged against the capital fund.

(h) Gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

(i) Creditors and provisions

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.

8 Registered Charity Number: 255141 These unaudited financial statements have been subjected to independent examination. See report on page 4.

Redland Chapel Trust NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2024

(j) Cash at bank

Cash at bank 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.

(k) Debtors

Debtors represent the investment income held by the Investment Managers at the year-end.

(l) Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

The trustees ensure the Redland Vicarage is maintained in good order and so no depreciation is charged on the building as the residual value at the date of acquisition was considered by the trustees to be similar to the carrying value such that the value of any accumulated depreciation charge would not be material.

(m) Investment Policy

Investments are valued at their mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Investment management costs are accounted for as incidental costs of the acquisition or disposal where transaction-based, while investment income management costs are charged as expenditure out of the relevant income funds. Unrealised and realised gains and losses are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities and recognised in the Capital Funds. Investment income is recognised in the General Fund.

(n) Financial instruments

The Trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including trade investments, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the SOFA, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

9 Registered Charity Number: 255141 These unaudited financial statements have been subjected to independent examination. See report on page 4.

Redland Chapel Trust NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2024

2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In the application of the Trust’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 revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting judgements

Freehold land and buildings

It is the judgement of the Trustees’ that the residual value of the freehold land and buildings is at least equivalent to its carrying value and therefore no depreciation is provided for.
