CHURCH SCHOOLMASTERS AND
SCHOOLMISTRESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00041482)

Report of the Trustees
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024



The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the 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 1st January 2015).

The Church Schoolmasters and Schoolmistresses' Benevolent Institution (CSSBI) was established on the 2nd January 1857, becoming a charitable company limited by guarantee in June 1894. It is governed by Articles of Association which were last amended by special resolution on 11th May 2011.

We are extremely grateful to those members and friends who continue to support us and in particular to our late Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 and our Vice-Patrons: His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace the Archbishop of York and His Grace the Archbishop of Wales. We also are very pleased to thank our President, the Right Reverend and Right Honourable the Lord Bishop of London DBE.

The CSSBI Council of Trustees have taken the decision to close the Charity.
After much thought, prayer and discussion, in December 2022 the Trustees decided to close the Charity. CSSBI's Patrons were notified of the intended closure in August 2023. The notice of closure was put on the CSSBI's website in September 2023. The CSSBI was then closed to new applications, but it was agreed that applications already made would be dealt with as normal. The final applications were assessed in February 2024.

There were five main reasons for closure. They were discussed at length and agreed by all the trustees. They were confirmed as sufficient reasons for closure by the Charities Commission.
o The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Acts mean that we are no longer able to continue with the original purpose. The money was donated for a Christian charity and for Christian teachers. Even after updating the charity's Articles of Association in May 2011, we are now no longer able to guarantee this.
o Society has changed, people have different expectations and ideas of what constitutes being necessitous.
o There has been a significant change in the cause we were created to address. For example, retired teachers now have pensions.
o We are unable to recruit suitable trustees. The current Council of the CSSBI does not show diversity and we would be unable to recruit new trustees if we are knowingly not meeting D, I & E regulations.
o We believe we could achieve more for our cause by transferring our assets to other organisations. CSSBI have looked at other organisations with similar purposes to CSSBI.

The trustees then spent a great deal of time finding, investigating and discussing, with the Administrator's help, other charities with similar purposes to the CSSBI. It was agreed to divide the financial assets, once in the form of cash, equally amongst four of them.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives for which the charity is established are to provide for necessitous present or former teachers/lecturers and those in teacher training who are members of the Church of England or of another recognised Christian denomination by giving financial assistance in times of affliction, disablement or other misfortune, and on their demise to provide for their financial dependants, such financial assistance to include (but not be limited to) assistance towards the cost of subsistence and education in each case anywhere within England and Wales.

Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the advice contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning for future activities. The scope of the charity was revised in May 2011. The trustees aimed to widen their remit without causing detriment to the current beneficiaries. They agreed that when considering applications for assistance, they would use the Churches Together in England, and the Churches Together in Wales documents listing recognised Christian denominations.

Applications for assistance that are submitted undergo checks for identity, teaching and church connections. Applicants' bank statements and any further information they are asked to provide are scrutinised to aid the CSSBI Council in their decision making.

Report of the Trustees
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees have been able to help a wide range of people needing financial support. Grants in excess of £132,503 (£119,690) were awarded this year. Grants and running costs are reviewed monthly. During the pandemic of Covid-19, when the trustees were unable to meet in person, the Administrator e-mailed all the information regarding applicants for grants to them. The trustees emailed their responses and decisions were made. The Articles of Association allow for this to happen under Section 24A Attendance and Speaking at General Meetings. The trustees also met together twice this year in a large hired conference room to allow for social distancing.

Approximately one third of visitors went directly to the CSSBI website, the other two thirds were split equally between Turn2us website or Google's 'Search for Grants'. There were 838 (890) hits to our website, around 100 (70) hits per month until closure, well up on the previous year. Of these 123 (110) were applications for assistance. Of these 56 (53) were supported for grants but 67 (57) were not able to be helped due to their requests not being within our remit, not completing the form or sending the correct information, not being able to provide suitable references or were not considered necessitous. In rare cases it has been difficult to establish eligibility and when this happens the trustees have exercised their discretion. Grants awarded this year were for higher amounts and often for more than one item when compared to the previous year.

Over the years the trustees have tried to make the charity more visible to a greater number of people by enhancing their publicity and communications. Our Administrator has kept in touch with many people in various organisations, such as Turn2us and the Church of England. The website, www.cssbi.co.uk is secure and robust and it adapts and resizes to display correctly on desktops, tablets and smart phones. The website is monitored regularly and updated as appropriate.

The trustees have very much appreciated the many cards, emails and thank-you notes from successful applicants who have been helped in various ways. They are pleased that the CSSBI has made a difference to the lives of many people this year, by, for example, granting financial aid for:
o Council Tax, mortgage, rent and utility arrears
o Council Tax liability orders
o Rent arrears to prevent eviction
o Modifications to bathrooms for retired teachers with mobility issues
o Replacement boiler for family with young children
o Food vouchers for families with young children
o Vouchers for household furnishings
o Clothing vouchers for teacher due to cessation of supply work due to illness
o Financial assistance
o Replacement windows for family with unwell child
o Deposit and rent in advance to enable teacher to move to a more affordable property.

£20,000 on 07/02 2024

The CSSBI originally grew out of the needs of retiring teachers and their families when they fell on hard times. The charity's modern-day role has continued to provide financial help for those in need as defined in the CSSBI Articles of Association.

The CSSBI is in a financial position of strength, generated by the invested assets and cash on deposit, realised by the sale of their care home, Glen Arun, in 2009. As a result, the charity invited those in need to put forward relevant details of their situation and why they needed financial support for consideration by the trustees of the charity.

The activities of the CSSBI, in terms of both fulfilling successful grant applications and the administrative requirements of the charity, have been funded by monthly withdrawals from the two investment portfolios on an equal basis.

The selected portfolio of Unit Trust Funds held on the Old Mutual Wealth platform are managed by a range of fund managers according to the individual fund profiles. This portfolio is now known as the Quilter portfolio and continues to be held as a General Investment Account on the Old Mutual Wealth platform. The Quilter Cheviot portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis, investing largely in directly held stocks and shares. The combination of these two approaches to investment decisions has provided a balanced and diversified spread of assets that have weathered the changes in the economic, political and investment environments both in the UK and globally.

As a result, the CSSBI was able to support 56 of the 123 applications for grants made during the year ending 31st March 2024.

Principal funding sources
The principal funding source for the activities of the charity will be the regular withdrawals from capital combined with any naturally arising income where appropriate from the cash on deposit and within the investment portfolios.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity has total reserves of £2,344,649 at 31st March 2024. (2023: £2,258,083).
The principal funding source for the activities of the charity has been the regular withdrawals from capital combined with any naturally arising income where appropriate from the cash on deposit and within the investment portfolios.
As closure was expected, the Reserves Policy agreed by the trustees for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 was modified and most of the long-term deposit accounts were closed.
The policy had been: -
1) to hold up to 20% of the combined cash and investment portfolio on deposit for both normal running costs and the distribution of grants.
2) for cash deposits to be maintained as far as was viable, bearing in mind the very low rate of interest being applied to the CSSBI accounts.
3) for the remaining 80% to be invested in a broad spread of assets combining both fixed interest and equity-based holdings with a geographical split that would represent a realistic approach to investment risk and reward.
4) to maintain the target growth level for the capital invested at 3.5% plus the Consumer Price Index then standing at 1.5% for the coming year. Overall, a balance continues to be sought between the need for capital growth and the requirement for funding for the grants.
5) that the monthly trustees' meeting will review the cash deposit levels and investment capital values alongside the political landscape as it changes.
6) that all variations in the value of grants awarded, running costs and inflation will be reviewed, where considered appropriate, against a benchmark of a three-year average, and appropriate action taken.
7) that the process of drawing down capital on a monthly basis was discontinued and the funding required for the grants and the administrative running costs has been dealt with using cash deposits.

Having reviewed the performance of the total portfolio, as well as the investment criteria, the trustees were satisfied there was no need for change except to close the bank deposit accounts. However, ongoing monitoring of the financial strength of the charity continued on a monthly basis at the trustees' meetings.

The total value of all the assets remained strong and the CSSBI, although closing, was in a good position financially to help those in need, with established procedures to ensure that all transactions and projects were properly authorised.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Charity constitution
The Church Schoolmasters and Schoolmistresses' Benevolent Institution (CSSBI) was established on 2nd January 1857, becoming a charitable company limited by guarantee in June 1894. It is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the companies act 2006. Company number: 41482. The trustees are all guarantors in a sum not exceeding £1 each.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
New Council members are recommended to the CSSBI Council by current members or by local clergy. It is preferable, but not altogether necessary, that they have a background in education. The Council must approve the nomination before the person takes up the responsibility of a trustee.

The trustees become members of the CSSBI Council. They are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. They decide what is to be done and how money is to be distributed to those in need. They deal with applications as they arise, and have a monthly meeting, usually by email.

Risk management
The trustees keep proper accounting records to ensure that their financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They also make sure that they understand and take responsibility for safeguarding the assets of the charity. They take reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees review financial and other risks when appropriate, and have established procedures to ensure that all transactions and projects are properly authorised. Their actions include developing policies and procedures for many areas, such as defence against cyber-attack, malicious disruption and malware. Other policies and procedures include managing complaints, general data protection, privacy, safeguarding, risk assessment and conflict of interest. All are reviewed on a regular basis. The trustees wrote a new business plan, finalised in July 2021.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

Notes to the Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

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

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
