THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The trustees present their report together with the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Society's governing document, Statute and Statements of Recommended Practice.

Objects of the charity

Constitution: The Society's governing document is contained in the Objects and Rules, which were most recently updated in September 2021. The Society is registered under the Charities Act 1993, number 272899.

Objects of the Society: The principal object of the Society is to support the activities of Westminster Cathedral. Funds are raised to further this objective from membership subscriptions, donations, legacies and by means of a number of events approved and monitored by members of the Council, all of whom give their services on a voluntary basis.

Trustees: The Trustees, who are members of the Council, are listed below. The Society in Annual General Meeting (AGM) elects, from its members, Officers to hold the positions of Chairman, Vice Chairman and Honorary Treasurer, except if the administrator of the Cathedral is elected as Chairman he then has the right to appoint the vice chairman rather than that office being elected. The other members of the Council are also elected at the AGM. One third of the number of the Council, excluding the Officers and co-opted members, retire from office at each AGM. The members to retire are those who have been longest in office.

Review of activities

Immediately following the last AGM in June 2023, The Friends hosted an event entitled ‘Coronation Reflections’, which drew together a panel comprising Catherine Pepinster (Former Editor, The Tablet), Peter Stevens (Assistant Master of Music, Westminster Cathedral), Richard Hawker (Head Sacristan, Westminster Cathedral) and Fr Paul McCourt (Royal Army Chaplains Department) to reflect on the Coronation of HM King Charles III. Facilitated by Simon M Johnson (Vice Chair of The Friends) and introduced by His Eminence Vincent Cardinal Nichols, this event was attended by over 60 people and well-received.

After the customary summer break from events, The Friends returned with three events in the autumn. We were pleased to welcome Adrian Waddingham to introduce his book Breakspear: The English Pope (History Press, 2022), where around 15 people gathered for the talk followed by Q&A refreshments and book sale. We also had a Quiz Night with Fish & Chip Supper led by Fr John Scott. As ever, these events remain very well-attended and enjoyed by all and we are very grateful to all who make these nights possible, especially our volunteers. In a particular way, Lee Alexander with his assistance with these events and Barbara Smith in her quiz setting and support on the night have been indispensable to the successful running of these events in the past year. Finally, we had a St John Henry Newman Walking Tour with acclaimed guide and writer Joanna Bogle guiding us through the City of London. Come rain or shine these walks go ahead, and we were delighted to have over 15 people once again. In all, these three events attracted over 80 unique participants – surely a sign of vitality in the life of the Friends.

In and amongst the usual round of Christmas Big Give management and welcoming donors to the Cathedral during Advent for the Christmas Celebration Concerts, as well as another round of fundraising during Lent and Easter, the Friends have enjoyed two further quizzes, one led by Fr Mike Maguire and the other ably deputised by Andrew Sanders. We are very grateful to both for their continued support of The Friends. As the days have become brighter and warmer we have also had another two Catholic History Walks with Joanna Bogle, one from St Paul’s Cathedral to St Mary Moorfields and the other from The Rosary Shrine, Haverstock Hill to Hampstead Heath. These days are very much enjoyed by all who partake, and I hope they will serve in time as a precursor to the reinstatement of trips further afield.

Last but not least, in the weeks following the 2024 AGM there will be a Monastic Beer and Wine Taster Evening in the Cathedral Hall, led by London-based Catholic family business Monastic Order. There

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

will also be a visit to Corpus Christi Maiden Lane at the end of June – which will offer the chance to learn more about the Blessed Sacrament Shrine, and also to visit the Shrine to Blessed Carlo Acutis – a topical feature given that a second miracle was recently attributed to him and therefore the road to sainthood advanced. Details of both of these events have been mailed out to all members with the AGM papers.

Looking ahead to autumn and beyond, we will have a day trip to Richmond in October which will be our first event outside central London in some time. Thereafter, we are busy planning a range of trips and events, and expect that the coming year will offer the chance to arrange events on a wider range of days and times, as well as possibly hybrid/online participation opportunities. We hope to publish these events by mid-August with the expectation that events will begin in mid to late September.

Fundraising

Our major fundraising activity of the year was the Christmas Big Give 2023. We set out to raise £80,000 to complete a fundraising target of £300,000 towards the new lighting in Westminster Cathedral Sanctuary. We raised £80,0025 before Gift Aid but with Gift Aid over £95,000. We were able to grant £300,000 to Westminster Cathedral as our contribution to the lighting.

Trustees

The trustees, who are members of the Council, are listed below: -

Richard Collyer-Hamlin Benedict Jennings Elizabeth Furness Simon Johnson Elizabeth Gibson Sandra McNally Andrew Hollingsworth Monica Nkechi Mbanefo John Green (appointed 20 June 2023) Father Slawomir Witoń (resigned 20 June 2023)

Review of the financial position

During the year the Society generated income of £119,297 (2022-£94,248) and have incurred expenses of £18,512 (2022- £8,855), thus generating £100,785 (2022 - £85,913) from operations in the year to support the work of Westminster Cathedral. Grants - falling due in the year amounted to £370,000 (2022 £28,441) resulting in a net decrease in funds of £269,215 (2022-£ 56,952 increase). The accumulated fund has increased by £665 (2022 -£15,073) to stand at £54,272 (2022 - £53,607). The Society is successful in raising funds for specific projects within the Cathedral; raising funds to meet its own running costs has proved more difficult. The position has been balanced by reducing expenditure in particular replacing the full time director with a part time coordinator. During 2022 there were no employed staff for just over eight months. Although the trustees consider the present position to be satisfactory, they continue to look at fundraising and measures to increase the membership of the Society to increase the unrestricted income.

THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Public benefit statement

The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 of The Charities Act 2011 to have regard to public benefit guidance published by The Charity Commission. The Council has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and has planned The Friends’ activities to avoid the granting of any private benefit other than a private benefit which is purely incidental to carrying out The Friend’s objectives. The Council believes it has followed the Charity Commission’s guidance in this area.

Westminster Cathedral is a very popular building attracting large numbers of visitors every day. Although its primary purpose is as the Cathedral for Westminster Diocese and as a busy city centre parish, many people from further afield and from other Christian denominations, other faith communities and of no faith use the Cathedral. It is an oasis of prayer, calm and spirituality in our busy city as well as an attraction due to the art and architecture of the building and the quality of its music. In supporting Westminster Cathedral the Friends help to provide a valued facility to the wider public.

Key management personnel

The trustees consider themselves as trustees and the co-ordinator to comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating The Friends on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee received remuneration or reimbursement of expenses in the year.

The pay of the employee is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with the cost of living increases awarded to employees of the Archdiocese of Westminster.

Risk factors

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. These include a reduction in income, a drop in membership and the loss of records. The concerns are being addressed by fundraising, the programme of events, the campaign to recruit new members and procedures to back up computerised records. There is a particular risk of breach of data protection laws particularly with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The trustees consider they have adequately assessed this risk and taken the necessary steps to protect data and obtain consent to use data where the use is not justified by legitimate commercial interest.

Going Concern

The trustees have considered the future of the operation of the Friends. By the very nature of the operations most of the income of the Friends is raised from fresh initiatives each year. However, the trustees believe that all definite funding commitments are covered by designated and restricted funds held at 31 December 2023, On that basis the trustees have concluded that the Society of Friends of Westminster Cathedral is a going concern.

A final thank you

I should like to conclude with my personal thanks to all those volunteers who make the work of the Society a success, to those members of the Council who now retire by rotation and to all Council members for the contribution they have made to the work of the Society and to Joseph Allen whose unstinting work makes so much of what we do possible.

On behalf of the trustees

STATEMENT OF TRUSTES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Society of Friends of Westminster Cathedral (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity 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 Trustee’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

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.

The Cathedral lighting fund represents funds raised specifically to fund the replacement of the sanctuary lighting and some elements of the naive lighting.

The Mosaics general appeal fund is for Mosaic work within the Cathedral. There have been two aspects to the appeal in memory of Canon Tuckwell being to raise funds to improve Cathedral Communications and to create a mosaic in his memory. The memorial funds for Bishop Patrick O’Donoghue and Monsignor Mark Langham are to fund new altar frontals and lectern drops in green and in white respectively in their memories.
