THE COMMUNITY OF THE SACRED PASSION
REPORT OF TRUSTEES
The charTty is unincorporated and was ft?mially established as a charity by a Trust Deed in 1988 and
w&s registered with the Charity Commi&sion (number 800080). Th¢ Trust Deed gives responsibility to
the Trustees for managing the finances and &￿ts. In carrying out all their functions the Trustees are
required to do so in pursuit of the charty's object which is to support the Community in:
a. Honouring our Lord Jesus Christ by exhibiting to all the joy and the power of the Passion of JesU5.
b. Offering to God a lift 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 prdyer and missionary work
d. Using our time, money and talents for the relief of Sufferi￿ education and the spread of the Gospel.
As well a5 SUPPOrting the Community in fulfilling its vocation, the TnLStees may make grants to related
good causes. The Trustees also follow the guidance issued by the Charity Commission to support the
Community now that its members have rea¢hed the age of retirement.
The Trust Deed also clarifies that the charity will be wound up once the last member of the Community
has died. The winding up of the charity includes disbursing whatever assets the Community h&s which are
still held in trust at that time. That disbursement will be guided by the Community's 'Letter of Wishes,.
The Trustees have complied with the duty imposed by Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011. to have
due resard to the Charity Commission's 8uidance on publi¢ benefit.
ort of the Communit
's Aetivilies
The Community seeks to live out its vocation in ways suited to the advancing years of the Sisters. They
continue to support some of the projects they started in Tan7ania financially and by prayer and advice.
Some of these projects are noted below. The Community has also been active in supporting the work of
the local parish church in Littlehampton. This has included providing hospitality for, and serving on,
a fund-raising committee. organisin8 and n]nning stalls at various fund-raising events and joining in a
scheme at Easter to illustrate the message of the Resurrection.
The Community has provided the Trustees with inforn)ation about the continuing progress of work it
began in Tanzania leading to the decisions by the Trustees to allocate funds to the projects to support
them in the next stage in their efforts to become financially independent. In this regard the Community
has contacted and met WTth Trustees of the Kwa Mkono Disabled Children's Trust and discussed how the
two charities could work together to provide necessary financial support for the hostel.
Additionally, the Community exchanged inforn￿tiOn with the T￿￿ of the African Sisters, Support
Group and introduced their chatrnian to our Tn￿te¢s. The Community's considerdble experience of and
insight into the challenges of a religious Order working in Africa and observing its Religious life bave
enabled it to offer advice io the new Reverend Mother of the Community of St. Mary of Nazareth and
Calvary (CMM), which it was inStn￿ental in founding. One of the grdnts the Trustees decided to give is
to support CMM in integrating the work of its I I houses and to help them to prepare their accounts in
way which is more meanlngful and transparent for overse&s donors.

ort of the Communi
'$ Activities
Cont...
In Littlehampton the Community opened tts Chapel to residents in Claridge House who wish to join in the
twice monthly Eucharist. The Si5ter5 have continued to communicate with their Oblates and the Friends of
the Community, supporting them in difficulties. offering spiritual support and answering questions on
spiritual matters. They also give them news about continuing work in Tanzani4 some of which those
associated with them continue to support. They have also responded to requests for prayer from people from
many backgrounds and answered questions on the religious life and the Church in Tanzania from people
studying these topics in depth.
Re
ort of the Truslees, Activities
The Trustees met on five occasions during the year. In addition to the AGM (in June) at which the Annual
Report & Accounts for 2023 were considered and approved. they met to consider their support for the hostel
in Tanzania for disabled children which the Community had set up; and three tirnes to conduct a risk
assessment. to fmalise a reserves policy and to make decisions about grant-givin& details of which are
provided below.
10. Separately, the Trustees also had meetings with Wrigley4 a firn] of lawyers with expertise in charlties whom
the Trustees had InSt￿cted to review and amend the Trust Deed.
The Revision of the Trust Deed.
Th¢ Trustee5 commissioned lawyers to review its Tntst Deed in the Autumn of 2023. The purpose was to
ensure. following the Community's move into retirement accommodation as it entered the final stages of its
life. that the constltution of the charity and its governance were robust. The following amendments to the
original Trust Deed were approved by the Charity Commission in late November 2024 and took effect on 9th
January 2025 when the Trustees passed a Resolution to change the Trust Deed:
(i) The original Tn￿t Deed required the Community to direct the Tnlstees in order for them to make any
payment or decision regarding the funds or assets of the charity. This requirement was removed and replaced
by provision which gives the Trustees complete discretion but requires them to consult the Community. This
is consistent with the Community's wish to become less dir¢ctly involved in the work of the Trustees, as is
the second amendment.
(li) The power to appoint new Tn￿teeS is tran5feTred from the Moiher Superior to the Tn￿tecS- a transfer was
anticipated by provisions in the Statutes. Before making any appointmenL the Tn￿teeS are required to consult
the Community.
12. Two other groups of amenthnents were also made which essentially bring the Trust Deed up to date with
Cu￿ent good practice..
(iii) First, a tenn of office of three years is stipulated (with the provision that Trustees may be reappointed) and
the means by which they may resign or be removed have been added.
(iv) Second, the amendment makes clear that TnLStees can conduct business via online meetings or 'hybrid'
meetings where some Tn￿teeS meet in person and some are online.

13. In 2024 Susan Clay stood down having been a Tn￿ and the Secretary of Tn￿teeS for many years. Her
close involvement in the sale of the Convent in Shoreham and the other properry the charity owned and her
role as secretary were highly valued.

Conl...
14. Two new Trustees were appointed: Peter LavericK a public notary appointed by the Faculty Office of the
Archbishop of Canterbury" and Jennie Chapman, a retired paediatrician with experience of working in
southern Africa.
15. The Trustees met on four occasions in 2024 in addition to the AGM. They also had other meetings with
their la￿erS in respect of the revision of th¢ Trust De¢d and w'ith nvo partner organisations in r¢specl of
grants they were considering making to organisations in Tanzania.
Finanee: Risk Assessments Reserves and Grant-Givin
16. Throughout the year the financial position of the charity remained strong. Following the sale of the convent in
2023 and the sale of the remaining property in Shoreham in 2024. the charity had c.£1.4 million. most of
which was held earning a market rate of interest with CCLA.
17. To detern)ine how best to use the large sums of money the charity now had, the Trustees undertook three
separate exercises: an assessment of the risks to the charity and how they could be managed or mitigated-
the calculation of the reserves it was necessary to retain to ensure that Trustees could discharge their duty to
support the Community, for the rest of its life- and a consideration of what grants they mighi make to
organisations whose purpose and activities align with the Community's charitable object.
18. The principal risks were identified as being a failure to make good use of the money held in reserve for
grant-sivins and to support the community; a weakening of relations between the Trustees and the
Community- weaknesses in the a￿angements to account satisfactorily for routine financial transactions.
and, problems associated with grants the Trustees decide to give. Arrangements to manage the risks were
considered and adopted. Trustees agreed that a prudent level of reserves for these purposes was £550.000.
19. With this level of reserves there remains a substantial sum which it was agreed the Trustees would use over
time to pursue the Community's charitable object in the form of grdnts to other organisation5. After careful
consideration of their merits, the Trustees made commitments totalling £279,000 to six organisations= five
in Tanzania, including three with which the Community has a close connection. and one in Zimbabwe. Their
activities range from theological and primary education to healthcare services. Full provision has been made
in the accounts for these grants. Payments have been agreed to be made over a three-year period and the first
instalmenis commenced in January 2025.
20. Truslees have also been approached by the church of St Mary de Haur4 New Shoreham to assisi in financing
the installation of new loilet facilities. To date no agreed plan nor a fonnal application for a grant has been
made to the Truste¢5. Discussions are expected to continue with those responsible at the Church following
the arrival of a new vicar in 2025.
