## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

This year the Charity's income was £117,991 (2024 £78,198) and expenditure £99,360 (2024 £94,845. This resulted in  a surplus of £18,631 (2024 deficit of £16,647). The year ending 2025 saw an increase in income of £39,793 and expenditure increased by £4,515. 

The financial situation improved significantly this year with income increasing by £39,793. This was mainly due to a single donation totalling £52,215. Staff, property and publication production and distribution are the main charitable expenditure. 

Despite trying to limit property costs the regular expenses of maintaining three properties which have a spiritual significance to the work of the charity are difficult to reduce. Such as Council tax, Insurance, Utilities, which have all increased in the last few years. Building maintenance and improvement has been kept to the minimum since 2019. No emergency appeals were made in this year. We did make an appeal for a new printer which was purchased. The subscription for the tri annual publication was increased as postage costs continue to rise. The subscriptions do not come anywhere close to covering its production and mailing. 

## **Reserves policy** 

## Reserves policy 

The reserves policy of the charity is to try and maintain at least six months of expenditure as reserves.This is not possible in the current financial situation 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The priority is to make known the message of Christ's Divine Innocence within the Catholic Church. An expansion of using digital means is a very important objective. We will seek to minimise property costs, but staffing is at a minimum to run the administration and Bethlehem Farm. Printed publications will also remain an important part of the work of Divine Innocence as this is the primary means of support and communication with existing benefactors. 

A large part of the agricultural land at Bethlehem farm will continue to be rented on a Farm Business Tenancy until 2027. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity was established by trust Deed on 6th May 1987 as amended by supplemental Deed on 9th February 2007. Its governing document is its trust documentation. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Under a supplemental deed dated 9.2.07 the existing trustees of the charity appointed 'The Family of Divine Innocence Company Limited' as the sole trustee of Divine Innocence Trust.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of DIVINE INNOCENCE TRUST 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of DIVINE INNOCENCE TRUST** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of DIVINE INNOCENCE TRUST (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 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 Trust 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.

DIVINE INNOCENCE TRUST 

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. Items of equipment with a purchase price of £250 or less are not capitalised. The rates applied per annum are as follows: 

|Office Equipment|33% reducing balance|
|---|---|
|Items used in worship|10% cost|
|Motor vehicles|15% reducing balance|
|Freehold land and buildings|nil|



No depreciation has been applied to freehold property as the properties are maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost. 

## **Heritage assets** 

During 2010/11 a farm was donated to the charity. The transfer of this property was registered on 8.3.11 and the market value, including surrounding lands of 100 acres, was shown on the completion of registration by the Land Registry at a market value of £1,100,000. The farm is known as Bethlehem Farm, and has been used for some years by Divine Innocence Trust. As the farm is a 16th century listed building and the terms of the transfer prohibit it being sold it is considered as a heritage asset that is a permanent endowment of the charity. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Freehold property consists of 13 and 14 Adams Close, Surbiton, Surrey costing £369989.These properties are situated on the site of the Manor House convent. 

The properties at 13 and 14 Adams Close are situated on the site of the Manor House convent which is of special religious significance to the benefactors of the Divine Innocence Trust the intention is eventually to buy more properties in this area and build a church, using funds donated for this purpose. These funds were previously held in a restricted fund as deferred income but this has now been released as the funds have been used to purchase the land at Staplefield. As it is not envisaged that these properties will ever be sold the trustees do not feel it appropriate to depreciate or revalue them. They are maintained at such a standard as to facilitate the work of the charity. It is possible that their current market value may be in the order of £750,000 each but no professional valuation has been done. During the year Mrs Patricia de Menezes, a director of the trustee company, resides on the top floor of 14 Adams Close in a  volunteer caretaker role.
