CREW TRUST

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30th April 2023

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year to 30 April 2023. The Trustees have prepared these accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102).

Further information about these accounts, and the activities of the Trust in general, can be obtained by writing to the Trust at its offices.

Constitution

The charity was established as a Trust on 7 February 1979 and is governed by a declaration of trust of that date, as amended by Charity Commission Schemes dated 19 February 2004 and 5 June 2006, and Deeds of Amendment approved on 29 January 2008 and 19 January 2011. This report and the accounts that follow are in accordance with these governing documents. The Trust has every intention of continuing its activities for the foreseeable future. However, in the event of winding-up or dissolution, any remaining assets (after the settlement of debts and liabilities) would be transferred to other charities with similar objects.

Objects and Activities

The Trust’s principal objects are the advancement of the Christian faith and the promotion of spiritual renewal in the Roman Catholic Church. The Trust undertakes a broad range of activities to fulfil these objectives:

• Through Catholic Evangelisation Services, we produce and sell a range of educational DVDs, CDs and books

• Through The Ascent, we run a three year course for young people in school years 10-13

• We support various conferences and distribute donations received

The historic relationship between the Trust and the National Service Committee for Charismatic Renewal in England and Wales (NSC) was recognised and enshrined in the charity's trust deed by the deed of amendment approved in January 2011. The Trustees and the NSC work closely together to further the Trust's objects.

(In 2022 the NSC was renamed as the Charis National Service of Communion (CNSC)).

In setting their objectives and determining their activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The Trustees are committed to enabling as many people as possible to access the Trust’s resources and events so that they may benefit from a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and experience renewal in their spiritual lives. For example, some of the Trust’s resources can be accessed, free of charge, from the Trust’s website, so those on low incomes are not excluded.

CREW TRUST

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) for the year ended 30th April 2023

Trustees

The Trustees are responsible for the financial activities of the Trust. They meet three or four times a year to monitor performance, review activities and determine the Trust’s policy and strategy. Resolutions of the Trustees are passed by majority vote, with the chairman having a casting vote in the event of a tie.

The current trustees are listed on Page 1. New or replacement trustees are nominated by the serving trustees and may be appointed at any meeting of the Trustees. When seeking to appoint new trustees, attention is paid to the business, financial, legal, professional and other skills required for the good governance of the Trust.

New trustees are provided with the documents relating to the constitution, objects and activities of the Trust, together with current financial and other information relating to the operation of the Trust. All Trustees are expected to keep up-to-date with the requirements of the Charity Commissioners.

Organisation of the Trust

Catholic Evangelisation Services (CES) is run by a Management Committee led by Tim Stevens (Marketing Director) and two Trustees.

The Priest's Retreat, Moment of Opportunity, Men’s Conferences, The Ascent and Network are managed by groups set up specifically to run these events, while ad hoc committees manage other activities. All matters are subject to prayer and discernment of the Lord's direction.

Review of Activities

The Trust was able to maintain many of its established range of services during the year. We continue to inspire and challenge our subscribers in online form through our websites and our activities in various social media applications.

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal website (www.ccr.org.uk), examines what it means to be a Charismatic Catholic. Providing a range of articles regarding Family, Society, Cultural and Global issues, we hope that viewers will be supported and encouraged to live a Spirit-filled life. This year we began planning for a major conference ('Overflow'), to take place in Summer 2023. CES has continued to promote its wide range of resources, much of which has been made available through online channels inclding www.faithcafe.org.

We continued to explore ways in which our resources can be utilised throughout the Church.

Network supports young people in Catholic Charismatic Renewal, to facilitate

formation opportunities, to equip them with skills for practical and spiritual leadership and to promote Catholic Charismatic Renewal at the service of the Church within the context of young people. They receive regular contributions to continue with their aim.

CREW TRUST

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) for the year ended 30th April 2023

The Ascent ministry continues to maintain and offer a three year discipleship course for young people in Years 10 that seeks to raise a generation who are passionate about prayer and influencing the church and the wider society around them. The Ascent ministry is overseen by a CREW Trust Steering Group consisting of a minimum of two Trustees and some co-opted members who are not Trustees who provide additional expertise, such as in the area of safeguarding. The Steering Group is chaired by a CREW Trustee. In addition the Trust appointed a new Director role to help lead this important activity.

Review of Financial Performance

The overall result for the year was an decrease in reserves of £2,249 (2022: decrease of £60,124). Total income for 2023 was £203,627 (2022: £195,245), an increase of £8,382 whilst total expenditure amounted to £205,876 (2022: £255,369), a decrease of £49,493. The main component of income were donations of £130,974 which were lower than those received in the previous year (2022: £147,769).

Income from charitable activities of £71,515 was higher than in the previous year (2022: £45,974) yet Restricted income was higher than in the previous year, at £128,162 (2022: £112,635). Restricted expenditure was £129,954 (2022: £171,645) which included a transfer of a restricted fund balance in 2022 (£46,379) to Celebrate Trust as it became its own charity during the year. In broad terms, restricted expenditure should usually be similar to restricted income, as the monies received are intended to fund specific media projects, conferences and grants to individuals and institutions. The timing of the expenditure can result in a surplus being reported in some years and a deficit in other years. Unrestricted income for the year £75,465 was slightly down on the previous year (2022: £82,610) Unrestricted expenditure was slightly lower at £75,922 (2022: £83,724)

The year-end balances on unrestricted and restricted funds were £83,353 (2022: £83,810) and £66,008 (2022: £67,800), respectively.

The Trustees continually seek to further improve the viability and stability of the charity in financial terms.

The Trust’s total reserves at the end of April 2023 were £149,361. It should be noted that £66,008 of this amount relates to restricted funds, with the balance of £83,853 being unrestricted funds.

The Trustees continue to seek to ensure that costs are supported by the anticipated income from charitable activities and voluntary income.

Reserves, Risks and Investment Policies

The Trustees' policy regarding reserves is to hold sufficient specific reserves to meet the obligations imposed by donors and sufficient general reserves to sustain the Trust’s activities.

Page 4

CREW TRUST

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) for the year ended 30th April 2023

Annual budgets for each significant area of the Trust’s activities are prepared and monitored. The Trustees have considered the risks to which the Trust is exposed and have taken steps to mitigate the effects of those risks. They consider the unrestricted funds carried forward to be sufficient for the Trust’s immediate needs.

The Trustees may invest surplus funds at their discretion and have chosen to hold these in instant-access, interest-bearing bank deposit accounts, since variances in monthly income and expenditure, and the unexpected, may mean that the funds are required immediately.

Relationships with other Groups, Charities and Individuals

The Trust works closely with the National Service Committees for Scotland and Ireland and other Catholic Church groups, under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church, and ecumenically, to achieve its charitable objects.

Charities with similar objectives to our own that we assist include Sion Community for Evangelism and Celebrate Trust.

Nicholas Wells was a Trustee of both Crew Trust and SION Community during this year. The Trustees wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous work done by the Trust’s many supporters and volunteers whose efforts, by God’s grace, have enriched the lives of so many people.

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).

Charity Law in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Trust for that period. In preparing the attached 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;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed (subject to any departures that are disclosed and explained in the financial statements); and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.

The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports)

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CREW TRUST

I report to the charity trustees on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2023, which are set out on pages eight to seventeen.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

It is my responsibility to:

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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I confirm that no other matter has come to my attention giving me cause to believe in any material respect:

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the 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 2015. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a "true and fair" view and 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 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity becomes legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and there is reasonable certainty that the income will be received. Donations are accounted for when received by the charity and tax recoveries when receivable. Income from sales is recorded when the goods are despatched and for conferences when these are run. Magazine subscription income is spread over the period to which the income relates. Volunteers work for the trust, and some facilities and equipment are made available to the trust, without charge; no attempt is made to value these items in the accounts.

Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and comprises:

Costs associated with generating funds (namely voluntary income) is not considered to be significant in the context of the accounts and no expenditure has been attributed to this activity.

Certain costs are directly attributable to specific charitable activities. Those shared costs that remain are allocated among the expenditure categories of the SOFA in proportion to the use of the resource.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Media production costs are written off as incurred.

Pensions

CREW TRUST

The NET Fund was created by a donation from the National Evangelisation Trust For Catholic Renewal (known as NET) when it was being wound up. This has been supplemented by further donations. The Fund exists to further the Christian life of individuals seeking to promote the work of the Roman Catholic Church, by making grants to individuals and institutions.

The Network funds receives regular donations and its aim is to support younger individuals and groups to further their Christian lives. The fund is overseen by the Trustees in collaboration with the Network Committee and has close links to The Ascent fund below.
