The minutes of the Annual General Meeting, held on 14^th July 2003 had been previously circulated to Members and were available for Associates, Affiliate Group Representatives and Friends at the meeting. Elizabeth Sugarman proposed and John Leming seconded the proposal that they be accepted as a true record of the meeting. The meeting unanimously agreed that they be accepted and they were signed by the President.

5. Matters Arising.
Cynthia Capey referred to item 11 re last year’s trip to the Jewish East End of London. she reported that details of this year’s event were now known and Elizabeth Sugarman was arranging the outing.

6. The Chairman of the Board's Report.
The Chairman referred the meeting to the Report of the Trustee Directors. He commented that after attending national inter-faith meetings, he was aware that SIFRE was leading the way. He was aware that SIFRE was in danger of becoming a victim of its own success; it is getting involved in more and more work outside the county and this needs monitoring. SIFRE was established to serve Suffolk – these are exciting times and the Board has to look carefully at the way forward. SIFRE is successful with Diversity Training and the Diversity Game and the Inter-Faith Handbook are selling well. Two copies of the game have gone to groups in the US and many have been sold around the UK. SIFRE’s expertise is recognised and it is constantly being requested for help and advice.
The chairman then referred to SIFRE’s sadness at the death earlier this year of Azizur Rahman; he will be greatly missed. He then asked the meeting to share in a minute’s silence for private reflection. Cynthia Capey added that Aziz was a founder member of SIFRE. He shared his vulnerability as well as his knowledge. He saw that working in inter-faith is not about waving one’s own flag but about coming together to purify and enrich one’s own position. Azizur Rahman was a man of integrity and of faith.
The chairman then expressed thanks to all who work for SIFRE and especially to Cynthia and David and to Gita at the Centre and to the Deputy Faiths Officers, Penny and Rose.
The President added to the thanks and included thanks to the Chairman.

The Chairman invited questions and comments: Cynthia reported that a highlight of the year was the establishment of a Multi-Faith Quiet Room at West Suffolk Hospital. This was the result of much sensitive work by the Chaplain and his advisers. The secret of the success of the Quiet Room is that it is empty; each faith has a box of items which can be set up for worship in the room and put away afterwards.

7. Treasurer’s Report.
The Treasurer referred to the Report of the Trustee Directors which includes the Accounts for the previous year. He reported that these now conform to the requirements of the Charity Commission and take note of capitalised items such as computers and stock. The extensive notes on the accounts are self-explanatory. The right hand column of the Statement of Financial Activities records the totals of transaction for the previous period which was of 6 rather than 12 months. He noted the substantial donation of earnings by SIFRE’s tutors, the purchase of new computers for the Centre, the sale of the game and books and drew attention to the intangible income / expenditure relating to staff time (Hon Faiths Officer and Hon Executive Officer) and to the accommodation provided by Suffolk College. He acknowledged the £20k annual grant from Suffolk County Council which was intended to enable SIFRE to employ a Faiths Officer and Executive Officer and is presently being used to fund the Assistant to the Faiths Officer post and to build up the staff contingency reserve fund.
Asked about intangible income and expenditure, the Treasurer explained that the Charity Commissioners require the accounts to reflect the true cost of running the charity and the income accounts include a sum for the rental of the accommodation and for the salaries of the honorary officers and the expenditure account includes identical sums for these items.
The Chairman reminded the meeting that the Members of the Company had to accept the Report of the Trustee Directors. John Gibbs and David Haskins proposed and seconded the proposal that the Report be accepted. All were in favour.

8. Appointment of Examiner of Accounts for 2004-2005.
David Capey proposed that Clive Mees be appointed. This was seconded by Loris Squirrell and the Members unanimously accepted the proposal. David then asked the meeting to endorse his gratitude to Clive Mees for undertaking the task.

9. Election of Board Members.
The Chairman explained that the Memorandum and Articles of the Company now require two members of the Board to stand down. Terry Smith and Margaret Nelson were standing down and Terry was willing to seek re-election. Martin Spettigue and John Gibbs proposed and seconded the proposal to re-appoint Terry Smith. The meeting endorsed this proposal.
No other candidates and were proposed and the meeting expressed its agreement to the proposal that the Board seek to fill the post by co-option at a later date.

10. Any other business.
Gita Banerji informed the meeting that they would meet Andrew, a Prince’s Trust work experience person, at the Garden Party. Wendy Mulford-Bevan mentioned that she had brought Mohamed, an asylum seeker, to the meeting. David Capey asked the meeting to take note of 9 bookcases which were now unwanted and are free to anyone who provides their own transport.
Cynthia asked for feedback about SIFRE’s programme of events. She gave a snapshot of events planned for the coming year and asked members for their suggestions / reactions. Robin Herne preferred one off events to series. Penny Blakemore gave an indication of the activities being planned for the Bury St Edmunds SIFRE Circle. Margaret Condick noted that the Dean of St Edmundsbury Cathedral was working with SIFRE to promote Christian Muslim understanding and she would think about ways of getting Churches Together in Suffolk involved.
Andy Yacoub, Diversity Manager of SCC, noted that Churches Together UK was promoting accessibility concerns to its members. He asked SIFRE to encourage other faith groups to take note. He suggested that in some cases there may be financial help.

11. Date of next meeting.
It was agreed that the date of the next AGM would be on Monday 18^th July 2005.

The meeting concluded at 7.53pm.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE DIRECTORS FOR 2004 - 2005

The Board of Suffolk Inter-Faith Resource (SIFRE) is pleased to present its Report and Financial Statement for the year ending 31^st March 2005.

Objects

The purpose of the charity is to advance public knowledge and understanding of the teachings, beliefs, traditions and practices of the different religions and philosophies (including their distinctive features and common ground) of communities in Britain and in particular in Suffolk and East Anglia.

The charity pursues its objectives by providing faith tutors for schools, clubs, churches and the statutory, voluntary and commercial bodies and by running courses for adult audiences in conjunction with other educational authorities

Review of the Year – Terry Smith, Chairman of the Board

The past year has truly been a year of consolidation, growth and innovation. SIFRE has gone from strength to strength building on past successes. Continuing development within our Faiths Forum has seen venues as diverse as the new Crown Court House in Ipswich and Bridge Woods on the outskirts of the town. The game Diversity, now with a modified playing mat, continues to blaze a trail through our community, and many other communities beyond Suffolk’s boundaries. The SIFRE Faiths Handbook has been reviewed and updated. The exhibition ‘Faces of Suffolk’ is still being displayed at various conferences and functions and is still inspiring discussion. Our staffing levels have grown during the past year, we now have Judy Hardy and Elahe Mojdehi working with us as part time Community Liaison Officers. These posts help us to maximise SIFRE’s effectiveness within the greater community. I would like, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, and personally, to thank both Elahe and Judy for their hard work in rising to the challenge of these new posts. The SIFRE Circles at both Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft have flourished, our thanks must go out to Liz Pichon in Bury St Edmunds and Rose Norgate in Lowestoft for their hard work and perseverance. This year has also seen our first conference in Lowestoft, which I am very glad to report was a resounding success. Also with regard to growth, I can report that SIFRE in conjunction with Diocesan and Cathedral staff has successfully facilitated extensive and developing Muslim/Christian dialogue within the county. We have also provided seminars speakers for Ipswich Borough Council as well as for Bury St Edmunds Borough Council. Probation Service Training is another area SIFRE’s Expertise is now embracing. Very excitingly we have seen collaboration between SIFRE and local Artist Jane Timmins result in Masks of Faith, a remarkable piece of modern art that has graced several SIFRE events. A grateful thank you must be passed on to Jane who has given of her time freely to be on hand to talk about this piece of Art. Let us not forget the hard work of Cynthia and David Capey whose tireless work within interfaith is truly remarkable. Also Gita Banerji must be thanked for her hard work during the past 12 months. With regard to the way forward it is important for all of us to be aware of the progress of the 21’st Century, we must wholeheartedly be prepared to embrace the challenges that present themselves. We must never lose sight of our original objectives. Unfortunately it is still on the agenda of some to sow the seeds of bigotry and prejudice The shadow of terrorism also aims to pervert our view, we must be resolute, it is our responsibility not only to rise above this and to educate, but to be a safe harbour for those of faith (whatever that faith maybe) for whom prejudice is a regular hazard. May one of our greatest strengths be our fellowship and camaraderie. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to wish you all well for the year ahead

We will be sending a Muslim and a Christian together to open the County Council meeting next week. We also hope to do the same for the meeting of the Ipswich Borough Council at the end of the month.

Funding

SIFRE continues to have a significant income from membership fees but as always these are largely consumed by the cost of mailing. Our Honorary Faiths Officer and Executive Officer continue to be engaged on SIFRE activities full time plus and as the years go by they become increasingly aware of their mortality! They have continued to advise the Board that SIFRE must make provision for the employment of salaried persons to take over their roles at some time in the not too distant future. SIFRE is in receipt of an annual grant from Suffolk County Council and this year the Board reviewed the charges it makes for the services it provides to its vast range of clients. It will continue to do this on an annual basis with the intention that it will eventually be able to generate much of the further £40,000 per annum it will need before if can contemplate making salaried appointments.

Tutors who are also members of the Board of SIFRE are not paid for their work but are offered their out of pocket expenses.

Board Responsibilities in Respect of the Financial Statements

Company law requires the Board Members of SIFRE to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company at the year-end and of the net incoming/(outgoing) resources of the charitable company for the year then ending. In preparing these financial statements, the Board Members are required to

q Select suitable accounting policies

q Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

q State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

q Prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis

The Board Members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Accounts

Last year, the Board approved a proposal to change the period of the financial year from 1^st September – 31^st August to 1^st April to 31^st March and this change was accordingly registered with the Charity Commissioners and with Companies House.

Reserves Policy

It is the aim of SIFRE to have general reserves sufficient to cover expenditure for a forward period of three months. At a minimum SIFRE needs to maintain general reserves that are sufficient to meet legal liabilities in the event of the SIFRE's dissolution. Based on actual expenditure for 2004-2005 this equates to a desired reserve of £12,217. As at 31^st March 2005, the Board has set aside reserves of £20,000.

External Examiner

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1985 a resolution proposing that Clive Mees be reappointed as external examiner of the Company will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

To the Trustees of The Suffolk Inter-Faith Resource

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2005, which are set out on the following pages.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act

have not been met; or

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

	Grant for Staff Salaries and Expenses
		We are fortunate in that Suffolk County Council now provides us with a grant to enable us to employ staff.
		Eventually this will grant will be used to employ a Faiths Officer but in the short term it is being used to support
		an Assistant and to cover the expenses of the Hon Faiths Officer and the Hon Executive Officer.
		We are also in receipt of a grant from Suffolk Constabulary to fund the work of one of our Community Liaison Officers
