Trustees' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements for the year 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.
Objectives and Activities
Policies and Objectives
The Charity operates as a grant and bursary making Charity and the Trustees' policy is to seek to distribute the income arising each financial year, together with capital where appropriate.
Activities for Achieving Objectives
The Trust Deed, as amended, provides that the Trustees shall hold the capital and income of the Trust Fund upon trust and apply it at their discretion in advancement of the following purposes:
-
To relieve poverty among monks and nuns who are members of contemplative communities, based in convents and monasteries throughout the United Kingdom;
-
To promote the education of monks and nuns in the United Kingdom; and
-
To do all things which are necessary for the attainment of the above.
The Trustees applied for and obtained a Charity Commission Scheme on 14 June 2024 to amend the Charity’s objects to include the following: -
- To relieve those in need by reason of old age, illness or disability among monks and nuns within the UK, members of which devote their lives to prayer and contemplation.
Following amendments to the objects, the Trustees intend to make changes to the grant making policy.
The Charity maintains a webpage on the PWW website with information about the grants and bursaries available. The Charity administers mailings to the beneficiaries as well as funding the production of a directory for use by them.
From time to time the Charity will advertise appeals for donors in relevant publications.
The Bursaries and Grants achieve the aims and objectives of the Trust by providing financial assistance to those communities which are in financial difficulty and helping fund activities that further the education of the communities such as community retreats, special study courses and attendance at various other meetings, courses and conferences.
The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning for its activities and setting the grant and bursary policy each year.
Grant and Bursary policy
Grants and bursaries are only paid to communities or umbrella organisations and not to individuals.
Grants and loans are available to assist with significant items of expenditure, for example the
2
Holy Rood Trust
purchasing of equipment for an infirmary, fitting out of buildings for ease of use by elderly users, such as stair lifts, and the replacement or repair of essential items such as boilers, for communities that have taken a vow of poverty and have little or no capital to meet such expenditure.
The Trustees are in the process of reviewing the grant making process, following recent amendments to the objects.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2023
Achievements and Performance
Review of Activities
During the year ended 31[st] December 2023, investment income totalled £28,204 which was an increase of £1,597 compared to the previous year (£26,607).
The Trustees reviewed the number of contemplative communities currently benefiting from grants and bursaries so as to measure this against the total number of communities existing in the United Kingdom.
The Trustees are satisfied that in the reporting year the appropriate class of beneficiaries has benefited and that they represent a sufficient section of the public. The Trustees feel that their objectives have been adequately met during the year, and that the provision of grants and bursaries delivered public benefit. Details of grants paid are shown in Note 4 to the financial statements.
In recent years the charity has seen a decrease in individual communities or individual contemplatives applying for funding but an increase in the number of funding requests for meetings being held by associations or collaborative groups for the benefit of a number of communities. This is partly due to the desire to pool resources and ideas as numbers within communities decline, but has also been precipitated by a papal directive from the Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life "Cor Orans", which makes far reaching changes to the organisation of female communities of contemplatives by encouraging merger and sharing of resources in order to meet the challenges of decreasing numbers, elderly populations and a lack of new vocations.
The Trustees carried out two surveys to review the current age profile and financial situation of the contemplative communities to assist them in assessing whether the focus of the charity needed to be changed to reflect the beneficiaries’ current and most pressing needs.
The surveys identified that almost all of the communities surveyed had a majority of members over the age of 70 years old with approximately 150 members over the age of 80 years old. The Trustees recognise that this poses a significant challenge to the charity’s beneficiaries and have begun exploring means of changing the focus of the charity to better reflect the needs of the beneficiaries in facing the challenges of aging members.
During the year, the Trustees continued to invest the Charity's capital funds with Brewin Dolphin Limited. The Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the investments and remain satisfied that their investment objectives are being met.

Holy Rood Trust
Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2023
Investment Policy
There are no restrictions on the Charity's power to invest.
The Trustees set their own retail price index linked benchmark so that they are able to assess the performance of the portfolio. They also set their income requirement annually.
The investment strategy is then set by the Trustees by taking into account these requirements, the risk profile and the investment manager's view of the market prospects in the medium term.
The overall investment policy is to maximise total return through a diversified portfolio, aiming to provide the level of income advised by the Trustees and, at the same time, with a view to ensuring that capital appreciation of the fund exceeds inflation in the medium term.
The Trustees meet with the investment managers Brewin Dolphin at least once a year to review the performance of the portfolio and the investment strategy. The benchmark is compared to the standard market indices and adjustments are made if required.
Financial Review
The Trustees have presented the statement of financial activities with the total unrestricted ' funds split between capital and income. The capital' fund represents the total capital available ' at the start and end of the year. The income' fund represents the incoming resources and resources expended, except for those costs directly attributable to, and paid directly out of capital funds such as investment management fees.
Incoming resources totalled £28,204 in the year (2022: £26,607). Resources expended totalled £64,308 (2022: £62,511).
Reserves Policy
All the funds of the Charity are unrestricted. The Trustees are satisfied that the level of reserves held are sufficient for its working capital requirements and for it to produce the level of income required for grants. The Trustees keep their investments under review.
The Trustees use the capital fund to cover temporary shortfalls in income funds, if required, and keep the reserves under review on an annual basis.
This reserves policy reflects the need to balance risk against the objectives. As such the Trustees are satisfied that the Charity’s objectives are being met and that the use of the Charity’s capital fund towards the Charity’s charitable purposes as and when necessary is appropriate.
Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The Holy Rood Trust is governed by a Trust Deed dated 2[nd] November 1973, as amended by a Deed of Amendment dated 2[nd] July 2007, a Charity Commission Scheme dated 6[th] December 2012 and by further Deeds of Amendment dated 14[t][h] May 2013 and 17[t][h] October 2014. The Trustees are incorporated for the purposes of Part 12 of the Charities Act 2011 under a Certificate sealed on 4[th] April 1995.
' The Charity s income, and capital if required, is applied in making grants and bursaries in pursuance of the objectives set out in the Trust Deed which are summarised above.
5
Holy Rood Trust
The Trustees meet at least once a year and engage Pothecary Witham Weld solicitors " ("PWW ) to administer the Charity on a day-to-day basis. PWW report to the Trustees who retain control of all financial decisions.
From time to time, the Trustees constitute sub-committees and working groups to whom they delegate strategic and administrative matters.
Trustees are nominated and appointed by serving Trustees. New Trustees are briefed by PWW on the history of the Charity, its day-to-day management, the Trustees' responsibilities, the Charity's current objectives and its future plans.
Risk Management
The Trustees have identified and recorded in the annual risk assessment the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are reviewing the systems that are in place to mitigate those risks.
This results in the constant monitoring of reserve levels, ensuring that administration expenses remain at a reasonable level and reviewing the grant and bursary policies.
The Trustees are aided in their management of risk by cash flow statements and budgetary controls.
The Trustees are of the opinion that the current liquidity of the Charity's funds provides sufficient flexibility to cover temporary shortfalls in incoming resources and meet its objectives adequately.
The Trustees consider the major financial risk to be variability of returns on their investments. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified portfolio. The Trustees make transfers out of capital to supplement the income available for grants and bursaries depending on need, However, this is only done having considered the advice of the investment managers so that any transfers out of capital are done at the optimum time to maximise the Trust's return on investments whilst also considering the long-term capital value of the portfolio.
The major operational risk faced by the Trust is the misuse of grant funding by recipients. The Trustees have implemented procedures to manage this risk including ensuring they have sufficient skill and expertise to identify suitable grant recipients and effective monitoring and reviewing grants made.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's objectives have been met during this period and the use of the Charity's funds towards the Charity's charitable purposes is appropriate.
Trustees' Responsibilities Statement
The charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees' annual report and 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

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023
Holy Rood Trust
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Holy Rood Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 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.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
1.3 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.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.4 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. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the grant is paid. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Holy Rood Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
1.5 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 fair 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 shown in the heading 'Gains/(losses) on investments' in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.6 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 Bank.
1.7 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.
1.8 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.
1.9 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 within interest payable and similar charges.
1.10 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 exceptional investments which are revalued annually to their market value.
1.11 Taxation
The Holy Rood Trust is a registered Charity and therefore, is not liable to income tax or corporation tax on income or gains derived from its charitable activities as they fall within the exemptions available to registered charities.
13
Holy Rood Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023
1.12 Going Concern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
