The Reverend Mother Superior is pleased to present her report together with the Financial Statements of
the Charity for the year ended 3 1st Decefflber 2023.
Legal and Administrative Infornlation set out on page I fonns part of this report. The Financial Statements
comply with current statutory requirements and the Statem¢nt of Recommended Practice - Accounting and
Reporting by Charities.
Ob
ects of the Chari
The object of the Charity is to suptx)rt the Conununity of th¢ Sacred Passion in:.
a. Honouring our Lord Jesus Christ by ¢xhibiting to all the joy and th¢ power of the Passion of Jes￿.
b. Offering to God a life of complete Poverty, Chastity and Obedience, in union with the reparation
offered to Him by our Lord upon the Cross.
c. Winning souls to our Lord Jesus by a life of prayer and missionary work
d. Using our time, money and talents for the relief of suffering. education and the spread of the Gospel.
To apply the resources of the Charity in such manner and for such exclusively charitable objects as the
Community shall at any titne and from time to time direct.
The Trustees do Dot carry out any independent fundTaising. Income is being generated through funds deposited
with CCLA an¢ when relevanl by the Investment Managers. Income is also derived from property.
Grdnts and donations are made on the basis of CTiterAa laid down and agr¢ed by the TnLStees.
The aim of the charity is to apply the income and as appropriate. the capitsl &8sets. towards the objects of the
charity.
In setting their objective 2nd pla[￿Ing their activities the Tr￿SteeS have complied with the duty in section 4 of
the Charities Act 201 I to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The main actlvities undertaken by the charity to further its charitable PUTPOSe for the public benefit are:_
To allow th¢ use of the chapel for prnyer and study groups and to w¢l¢ome lo￿1 people to join in our worship.
The Sisters provide Care and support to the community to advance religion by:"
Responding to requests for talks and sernion&
Providing space for people seeking peace and spiritual succour.
Responding to prayer requests from all over the world.
Being a listening ear for people in distress.
The other achievements of the Clwity in relation to its objects are:_
The financial and practical support given to the Community of St Mary of Na74reth and Calvary in Tanzania in
advancing Christianity and caring for the poor and to the hostel for disabled children at Kwa Mkono in preparing
the young people to live usefvl lives despite their disabilities.

THE COMMUNITY OF THE SACRED PASSION
REPORT TO THE CHAYfER BY THE REVEREND MOTHER SUPERIOR
Ob'e¢ts of the Chari
Cont...
The fmancial and practical support given to the Kwa Mkono Polio Hostel in Tanzania in providing food and
water to care foT those disadvantaged by physical handicap and offering advice on th¢ future fimding of the
hostel.
The charity also Continues to look after members of the order by providing acconuDodation and l(KJking
after their other needs. These members have given up all their p0￿SsIOnS when joining the organisation
and any pension that they receive is donat¢d to the charity, they then engage in various charitable work on
the basis that their rwonable and modest personal needs will be met as part of the charitys religious aim.
As all the members of the Community are well past the age at which most people retire. the provision
which is made to support and look after them is consistent with the Charity Commission's guidance on the
public benefit principle for charities whose aims include advancing religion. This guidance states that the
meeting of thes¢ continuing needs after retirement is no more than a legitimate working out of the
understanding on which charitable work was undertaken in the first place.
Governin
Document
The governing document is a Trust Deed dated 3rd Jun¢ 1988.
ointment of New Trustees
The statutory power of appointment of new Trustees is vested in the Community. Any new T￿￿tee will be
familiar with the work of the Commiinity of the Sacred Passion prior to becoming a Tn￿te¢. but will still
undergo a short training session whereby they are familiarised with the obligations of the Trustees, the
main documents which set out the operational framework of the clwity. the current financial position and
fvture plans.
Investment Polic
Under the Trust Deed, the Charity bas the power to make any investtnent which the Tntstees see fit. The
Tn￿teeS have appointed Atomos ls advisers in relation to the charitys investment needs and CCLA to deal
with the inv¢stm¢nt of liquid funds. An ethical investment policy is in place.
Review of Activities 2nd Future Develo
ments
The new accommodation into which the Sisters moved following the sale of the Convent last year, is
influencing the way in which they witness. Their presence as equals in the conununity of the Residential
Housing complex allows them to share the problems of others and support them in difficult situatiODS.
Residents are welcome to join in celebrntions of the Euchari￿ in Chapel and the sitting room has been
used to host meetings and visitors. These include people conn￿ted with the work of the parish and the
various other charities with which the Community Works.
In consultation with the Tn￿teeS of the Kwa M(ono Disabled Children's Trust we continue to encourage
the staff of the Hostel at Kwa Mkono, which we fowjded to help sufferers from polio and now embraces
children with other disabilities, to work towards being self-supporting. Much support in the forni of
gifts of food and clothing is now received from local people but the hostel still needs extrn help for
items which can only be paid for in c&8h.
During the year we have paid for the repair of the underground water stornge tanK insurance for the
car and spar¢ for its upkeep and contribut¢d towards the setting up of a small cafe which serves
staff and visitors to the hostel and the adjoining hospital.

Review of Activities and Future Develo
ments
Cont...
In the UK. we are considering a major grant to fmance a project to install toilets in a parish church which
urgently needs his facility. It would help the church's operntions and therefore its christian outreach and
make the building more suitable for the variety of people who use it.
Sinc¢ the year en￿ th¢ charlty has been engaged in the process of selling a residential property which it owns,
I Seafields in Shoreham by Sea. The funds realised will be added to those already held and used for fi
haritsble activity.
Reserves Polie
and Risk Man2
ement
The Trnst can ¢xpend unrestricted fund5 in fiDtherance of exclusively charitable purposes as directed by the
Community. The Community of the Sacred Passion will generally utilise all incoming resources of a year in the
furtherance of the Charitys objectives. However if in any year there is a planned or unforeseen defici( reserves
will be realised to provide sufficient funds. The TTh￿tee$ consider tbe lev¢1 of reserves meets these objectives.
Trustees carry out an annual risk assessment of the Charity. Having considered the major risks to which the
Community w&s exposed during the year under revi¢w the Trustees were satisfied that adequate arrangements
were in place to identify and monitor those risks.
Volunteers
The cbarity is totally dependant on the services of volunteers for all aspects of nllming the charity.

accounts when receipt is Consider￿ probable and when the amount ¢an be me&8ured reliably
by the Charity. Where legacies have been notified to the charity. or the charity is aware of the
granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been meL then the legacy

The residual value of the freehold and le&5ehold properties is considered to be not si￿1fiCantlY

material and ¢onsequently no charge is made.
