REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). |
This report contains a directors' report as required by company law. |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The objects of the charity are to advance the Christian religion and promote Christian theology in accordance with the Bible. More specifically, the Foundations Trust provides leadership and support for a range of connected projects based from the twelfth-century Round Church in the centre of Cambridge, exploring the relationship between Christianity and culture. The charity aims to explore the implications of the Christian religion for the human experience, and to trace the way an understanding of our shared human questions helps to introduce Christianity. |
Significant activities |
(a) Cambridge Ministry. The Round Church in Cambridge which hosts: |
* | A Christian Heritage Visitor Centre, including a video presentation, at the Round Church, on relevant historic aspects of Cambridge; permanent exhibition panels; guided walks around Cambridge for all ages. |
* | Conferences and special events, including Life in the Round and Cambridge Apologetics talks and discussions; |
* | The Cambridge Christian Study Centre, with dedicated library, study desks and regular discussions |
(b) University Ministry. We work in close partnerships with local, national and international university ministry charities, serving them through: |
* | The development of written outputs, both online and print. |
* | The provision of conferences, seminars and training programmes for students, academics and university ministry workers, including Forming a Christian Mind. |
Public benefit |
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, its supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. The "Objectives and Activities" section of the report (above) provides a brief summary of activities undertaken together with a confirmation that the Trustees have had due regard to the general guidance on public benefit. |
Visitors to the Round Church, by reading the exhibition and watching the film, hear of the positive contribution which Christianity has made in our culture from the foundation of the universities, the development of modern science, the development of humanitarian tradition and the rule of law and constitutional government. |
Locals are reminded of Cambridge's significant religious history, something which is not a particular focus for any other tour providers in the vicinity. |
Attendees at our events are all encouraged to think carefully about how they can make a positive contribution to society and how they can be better followers of Jesus Christ. |
Volunteers |
We have been grateful for the dedication of our Doorkeepers who man the welcome desk at the front of the church, our Guides who provide walks, those who help lead discussions in the Study Centre, those who take part in event planning teams, and those who speak at our seminars and events. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
Achievement and performance |
Achievements |
2023 saw the continued roll-out of the refreshed vision and activities planned in conjunction with our reorganization whose new name - The Foundations Trust - had been formally registered in the Spring of 2022. |
In particular the Spring of 2023 saw the launch of Life in the Round, the project which provides a new expression of our regular public events considering the relationship between contemporary culture and Christianity. Our first event in May celebrated the King's coronation with music and spoken word reflecting on the Christian significance of the coronation service. Life in the Round also hosted a summer series of film nights with discussion. These events provided additional profile to the Visitor Centre, and vice versa. |
Summer 2023 saw the launch of Cambridge Apologetics, the project dedicated to equipping local Christians as they engage the thinkers around them with the hope of Christianity. Our summer conference took place at the Old Divinity Schools, St John's College, and served as a helpful way to build new relationships and reengage existing friendships in this area of work which has been so central to the life of the charity for 20 years. |
Cambridge Apologetics hosted a conference track for academics in partnership with our university ministry, which itself continued to consolidate its regular activities, which included both the ongoing development of the Study Centre with additional display bookcases, and the hosting of another Forming a Christian Mind conference, at St Catharine's College, entitled "Speaking of Hope", with academic speakers Professor David Lyon (Sociology), Dr Anna Nickerson (Literature), and Dr Chris Willmot (Biology) responding to a paper from Dr Daniel Strange (Theology). The conference continues to act as a key hub for wider postgraduate student ministry networks nationally and internationally. |
Internally, we appointed a short-term contractor as a development consultant whose work included a review of our communications, and the establishment of a new contacts database and a refreshed approach to monthly newsletters. |
Financial review |
Financial position |
Unrestricted income in the year totalled £154,637 (2022: £173,164). This position continued to reflect the impact of the ongoing pandemic upon our activities, which have historically been dependent upon visitor numbers. |
At the end of the year, the cash at bank was £88,197 (2022: £116,228). |
Reserves policy |
Our aspiration is to reach a point where we will always hold three months of staff salaries in reserve. |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The Trust continues to find that there is a greater demand for its work than can be sustained by its staff and volunteer team. After changing the name and structure of the Trust and reopening activities after COVID, our primary concern is to establish appropriate and sustainable ministry commitments while seeking to explore new ways of resourcing a growing work. This entails the inherent uncertainty of charitable fundraising. Risks are mitigated by ongoing investment in development and in seeking where possible to cover certain activities with short-term staff contracts and volunteers. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 24th December 1998. It is governed by articles of association which were adopted on 1 July 2014. Its objects and principal activity is to advance the Christian religion and promote Christian theology in accordance with the Bible. This is done in the following ways: |
- By providing a visitor centre at the Round Church in Cambridge |
- By providing guided walks around Cambridge |
- By providing specific courses, seminars and lectures |
- By providing a range of educaitonal, mentoring and apprenticeship programmes |
THE FOUNDATIONS TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03688829) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
A panel comprising existing Trustees selects members of the Trustee Board at the suggestion of the Trustees. Trustees are selected both for their sympathy for and knowledge of the work of the Trust and for their professional skills. Trustees serve for a period agreed at the time of their appointment. |
Organisational structure |
At the present time there are six Trustees, one of whom is acting as Director. Alongside the reporting on the activities undertaken by the charity, the Trustees play an active role in overseeing the financials of the organisation, which includes the setting of the annual budget. They are also directly involved in the process of strategic planning, especially in the implementation of new vision. The activities of the Trust are organized on a project-by-project basis, each with its own brand name. The staff host and resource volunteer-based planning and implementation teams which are organized on a project-by-project basis, each with its own brand name and website offering a specific entry-point to an ecosystem of mutually-introducing activities, relationships and ideas. |
Induction and training of new trustees |
Candidates are well-known to the charity prior to appointment, and many have a wealth of experience in similar roles elsewhere. They are familiar with the work of the charity and the expectations that will therefore be placed upon them. Any technical issues which are beyond the remit of the existing expertise on the Board are outsourced to fit and proper individuals, possessed of the requisite skills. |
Controls |
The Trustees are satisfied that the current system of internal controls, financial or otherwise, are fit for purpose for the charity, given its current size and the funds involved. However, they are also aware that as the scope of the work grows, changes are likely to be required. Therefore, all roles are kept under review and improvements will be introduced when necessary. Existing systems and controls (monthly cashflow, forecasts, budgets and regular monitoring) are therefore being maintained, as well as reviewed for effectiveness, leading to an ongoing process of improvement. |
