As we did so, we learned more about the effects of the pandemic on people's physical and mental health and the feelings of isolation that many people experience. This has been compounded by the cost-of-living crisis, including rising energy and food prices. meaning that more people were pushed Into deeper poverty and debt. Throughout these challenging times, Church Urban Fund has adapted and stepped up to play a key role In moblllslng faith-based social action that hos supported churches and communities to transform the lives of the people they serve. This progress is the result of 35 years, experience listening to and serving local churche5. which has led to Innovatlve and sustainable ways to respond to local need. As the cost-of-living crisis pushed more people into distress, local churthes and generous volunteers contlnued to Snspire u5 Wlth theSr resllience and creatlvlty, providlng practical support as well as love and care. In 2022, we contlnued our work building and mobili5in8 a national movement of faith-based Social partners working together to Serve local people and orBanisation5 who know thelr communltles best. We equlpped people to make a bigger difference in thelr community through our training and resources. And we ampllfled local voices, speakin8 Out to influence pollcy and decision makers. We know we have much more to do. A5 we continue to seek to deliver our strategy of serve, speak, lead, we will build on this progress, but also adapt our approach to respond to the needs of local people and churche5. At CUF, we remain commltted to equipplng people In local churches to Serve, speak and lead in thelr communlties. As Chrlstians, we know the value of community and fellowshlp. We know that we need eoch other to really flourish. We have all been given different parts for this purpose.. to serve others as jesus exhorted us. Church communities allow us to love one another, walk in fellowshlp wlth one another, bear each other's burden5 and grow to serve our world together. As local churches across England Serve and care for people In need, we must contlnue to stand wlth them. The world remalns a complex and unlust place for too many people. But, as we have shown through our work in 2022, it doesn't have to be this way. We have hope in the solidarity of people and communities, each of us built in the Image of a loving God. From the stories that I hear about the resourcefulness and bravery of churches In the ways in which they work to support people, hope shines out as they journey with people. The Church of England's parish network means that churches are deeply rooted in every community and thi5 network is one of the countrrfs Ereatest assets. This means that in every communlty there is a place of hope. Churche5 have that enduring presence to create a sense of hope and belonging in a way that few other or8anlsations can. Those of u5 With responslblllty for Indivldual churches know how Important it is to keep our doors open, to welcome people in and offer hospltality. Churches often underestimate the impatt they have and how many people they are reaching in various ways. Throughout the year, we have seen 3 larger number of churches using our Growing Good re50urce5 that explore the connections between social attion, discipleshlp and growth. Through the se55i0n5 focused on the themes of presence, hospitality, partlcipation. adaptability and perseverance we are seeing how churches can think or re-think about how they can be faithful and fruitful in local communities. With our expandin8 network of Plotes of Weltome, we have seen new venLtes openingtheir doors, not only as a place for people to be warm in the colder months, but as a place where people Can feel valued, less i501ated, and more connected to the places where they live in a mix of people who wouldn't necessarllv meet othetwise. Our work with Near Neighbours continues to offer a brldge between people of difference In some of our most diverse and divided communities, helping grassroots organisations with small grants to initiate projects ofhope and chan8e. The growth of Llfesovers and MIIo'5 Money through the Just Finance Foundutlon, has meant more of our children are equipped with a stron8er financial education to empower them to make better, more informed cholces about theSr flnances throughout thelr Ilves. As I wrlte in mld-2023, we are redoublSng dellvery agalnst the vlslon and strète8y we a8reed In 2021. We are recrultln8 new trustees to add value to the or8anisatlon'5 governance and buildlng an effectlve worklng relationship with our executive tearn now led by 8i5hop Rob Wickham. We review our own performance and hre commltted to complylng with the Charlty Governance Code Includln8 through the make-up of our board who bring a diversity of backgro(Jnds, skllls and experlences to our role. All our work Is almed at empowerlng people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs to serve, lead and speak.

OVERVIEW Church Urban Fund ICUFI Is a charltable company Ilmited by guarantee and was established by the Church of England in June 1987 as a practlcal response to unmet need and has been actlve In local communities for over 30 years. Church Urban Fund's Memorandum of Assoclatlon defines Its objects and powers and Is covered by its Artlcles of AssocSatlon. We launched In 2022 the Growing Good resources that were the result of the three-year GRA:CE research project between CUF and The05 looking at the Ilnka8es between social actSon, growth and confidence. Thi5 has enabled CUF to further éellver on its vision of belng a socSal action mobiliser, and opened our reach directly to churches, with over I,0￿ people accesslng the resources In 2022. We contlnued to embed and dellver on the refreshed vlslon, mlssion arbd strateBY that was flnallsed In late 2021. Our natlonal vlslon Is communltles of hope working together to serve and strengthen soclety. We believe everyone should have access to a supportlve and nurtuTin8 communlty, We will help achieve thls through our mlsslon to become a national soclal actlon mobiliser worklng with and through the Church of England to empower people of all ages, backgrounds and bellefs to.. Serve: We work to build and mobili5e a national movement of faith-based partners seeking to serve their communities. Our focus15 on slgnSfScantly growing membership of the Together Network, Near Neighbours and places of WelcDme, a national movement of hospitalitv, Load: We equip pEoplE to make a bigger difference in their community through high Impact, relational pro8rammes - designed by locals and delivered by loca15 - tackling issues of loneliness, social cohesion, food poverty and, through our subsidiary, the Just Finance Foundation, financial exclusion. Speak: We amplify gra5sroot5 voices and, with an emphasis on storytelling, we influence policy and decision makers. Through our What Works Centre, we will develop a new narrative about what falth- based social action is and how it contributes. We have continued to look at governance structure5 and prDcesses. Following the Governance Review, led by Lucent Consulting in 2021 we have begun a process of implementing the recommendations of thi5 review, An immediate action, driven by our desire for greater slmpllcity, was to operate the CUF and NN'S boards co-terminously. This has increased the awareness of each charity's work across the Trustee group and lessened the reporting impact on the executive team. The relationship between CUF and the Together Network has continued to develop and mature, following the disaggregation process of 202012021. Thi5 has reshaped our relationshlp to one of mutuality and creative sUPPOrt, partnership and collaboration, and has offered the opportunity to expand the Together Network beyond the original membeis. Closing the year, in addition to the 15 Core members Wlth whom CUF has a legal relationship, we had 9 "associate members" join us in an informal relationship of support and resourcing and we expect this number to grow in the future. In March 2022 the Rev'd Adam Edwards jolned CUF as Deputy Group CEO to strengthen and add capacity to our leadershlp team. Adam had prevlougly been CEO of one of our Together Network partners and has experience of working In communlties. In December 2022, Rachel WhittSngton left her role as Group CEO to explore new opportunities. The Trustees thank Rachel for the work that she has done for the CUF Group. The Rt Rev'd Rob Wlckham was appointed as Group CEO in January 2023 and will take up the role in Julv 2023, wlth Adam Edwards operating as Acting CEO in the intervening period. LEGAL STRucfuRE AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The Together Network is a network of individual charities, large and small, which was set up in partnership wlth CUF and the Church of England dioceses. It promote5 collaboratlve, local s0¢ial action through nelwork buSldln8, Stren8thening of relation5hlps, sharing of best practice and the development and delivery of programmes to tackle social issues including food poverty, loneline55 and homele5snes5. Since the disaggregatlon process CUF remains the convenin8 member of the Together Network.

REVIEW OF 2022 As we journeyed through 2022, we had a clearer picture of the longer term soclal and economic Impact of the pandemic. especially around the issues of physical and mental health and loneliness. Also, throughout 2022, there was SiBnificant concern about the cost-of.livin8 crisis with increasin8 food and energy price5 that were cau5in8 financial distre55 and hardship to a 518nificant proportion of the population. It was through the embedding of our strategy, finalised in late 2021, and vision to serve, speak and lead that we were able to lead and InspSre churches and communlty groups to seNe thelr local communltles In these difficult time5. Th15 support to churche5 wa5 bolstered by the rollout of the Growlnq Good re50urce5 In 2022. Growing Good enables churches to take and integrated approach to social action, discipleship and growth. The Growing Good project team launched the Growing Good Toolkit, Including five films that focus on the stories of churches that are building new connections and making 3 difference, and ran a Successful workshop forTogether Network core members to equip them to share the toolkit in their communitie5. One toolklt pllot partlclpant, Heather Lllack, Programme Leader, Mustard Seed In the Lliocese of York told u5., "The Growing Good Toolkit provides o resource ond rj frtimework to help churches with their thinking ond planning. -it helps people ro look ot thpir church ond thpir community withfre.sh eye5. In 2022, there were 1,000 pèople who accessed the resources and over 300 churches ran a Growing Good course, and ovor 250 pooplo attcndv.d workshops and trainiiig ovents.

In 2022, 168 new Places of Welcome opened, meaning there arp. now 610 registered IvLaiioiis rcauhin8 OVLII. 14,000 pe%ople cvcry week. OUT homelèssness preventlon and support programme, Posltlve Pathways, went from strength to strength in its fourth year. The central goal of P051tive Pathways is to "5UPPOrt 1,400 clients at risk of or experiencing homelessness in Yorkshire to live more sustainable and thriving lives. The project c105ed its fourth quarter having reached 1,935 people in total, exceeding Its target and affecting real change across the county. The Strength of the P051tive Pathways approach Is that workers are able to respond flexlbly dependin8 on the individual's circumstances and need5, offering a truly bespoke and relational approach which helps them naviBate a perlod of crisis into a place of greater stability- a place where their basic needs are met, including hovsing, and they can begin to think more actively and positively about the future. Arbother significant success of 2022 was our administration and evaluation of the Windru5h Day Grants Programme. We awarded 35 grants, with a total value of £500,OiKI, to different type5 of organi5ation5 across England including 5 local authorities, I natignal and I regional museum, and 28 cornmunity-based organisations. Grantees employed a range of creative approaches to achieve the aims of the scheme. Of the activities undertaken by grant recipients, half involved music or perforn)ance arts 150%) with other activltles Including sporting activlties, communlty street partSes or carnivals, storytelling projects, radio projects, art installation5/exhibitions, and work with schools. To8ether, WDGS projects tapped into the asset5 and creative gifts of their local communitie5 to celebrate the Windrush 8enerations and deepen understanding of the Windrush legacy. 10 Glven the backdrop of the economic impact of the pandemic and the onset of the cost-of-living crisis. the work of the Just Flnance Foundation in both preventive and reactive financial education programmes proved vital to many people nationally and the team proved as creative and adaptable as evèr. At the start of the year, IFF launched Milo's Money and introduced the world to its newest finantial educatlon hero. In his picture book, website, and online game, Milo brightened classrooms, laptops and Ilving rooms around the country. Combining practical skills such as coin recognitSon with soft ski115 and eBrly exposure to hDW money works, Milo's child centred approach was beloved by teachers and students alike.

Expenditure decreased to £3.3m {2021.. £6.26ml reflecting the reduction in funding for charitable activities related to Near Neighbours 'Creating Engagement,. Thi5 reduction a150 reflects the disaggregation and dlssolution of joint venture5 in the Together Network. 13 The Balance Sheet funds for the group shows a significantly improved unrestricted closing position for the Year of unrestricted funds at £2.57m12021: £1.29ml but a reduced balance on restricted funds at £0.73m 12021.. £0.74ml.

The continued support from the Archbishops Council of £0.2m12021- EO.2ml is also recognised as an importsnt contribution, as 45 the funding from various trusts and foundations. Reserves pollvi We alm to maximise the funds we can spend to support our charitable aims. The Trustees annually review our reserves policy and the level of required reserves, due to the highly volatile context in which the charlty operates. The Trustee5' alm is to malntaln the correct b31ance between a growth strategy and the deslre to achieve a prudent level of reserve5. They have consldered a target level for unrestricted free reserves of £400k from 2021, based on the scale of cur'5 activities and resource base at that time to provide operational cover to ensure a tlmely and orderly transStion lor wlndlng upl of the organ15atlon, If necessary. Additlonally, to provlde support for Near Nelghbours and the lust Finance Foundation in the event of the wlndlng up of either charity. Based on this target the year end reserves are well above the level asse55ed by the Trustees. Pl?n5 and actlve monthly monitoring were instigated during 2020 to addre55 the shortfall incurred during that year to ensure that the charity could meet Sts liabilities as they fall due. The increase back to sufflcient levels was in part due to large and unexpected legacy income received In 2020, which posltloned CUF back to a more than 5atlsfactDry reserve level for 2021. As such, the monthly monltor5n8 was revlsed to quarterly monitoring. Investment Pollcy Ind Performance Our investment policy15 to focus on capital security and liquidlty and to invest in cash and cash equlvalents nvestments to achieve this.
