Taken from the Edinburgh Inter-Faith Week
Programme.
Friday 30th November 7pm – 9pm - COME AND PLAY THE
‘DIVERSITY GAME’
A great information game to help players learn
about world faiths. Players have a Faith Profile for the faith they are to
assume for the duration of the game (Baha'i / Buddhist / Christian / Hindu /
Humanist / Jew / Muslim /Pagan / Sikh / Taoist), which gives basic facts about
beliefs. Challenge squares then provide opportunities for other players to ask
questions about these beliefs, and a handy quick reference booklet is provided
to check answers.

This year, SIFRE has been working closely with the
County RE Adviser and did not sign up any schools as Affiliates because it
wanted to offer an equal service to all schools. Apart from Company Membership which decreased
by 3, all other categories of membership showed a slight increase. A list of Members, Associate and Affiliate
bodies is appended to this report.
The Board of SIFRE
The Board of the Suffolk Inter-Faith Resource comprises up to 7 members
who are elected by the Company Members at the Annual General Meeting which is
normally held in July. Board members
normally serve for a period of 3 years, one third of the Board standing down
each year. Those who stand down may seek
re-election to the Board at the AGM. The
Officers of the Board are appointed at the first Board Meeting following the AGM. The Board met four times in 2007 – 2008
All the meetings were quorate.
SIFRE has two full time (voluntary) staff, five
part time paid staff and a large team of occasional tutors. Operating from the SIFRE Centre are Anne
Spalding, the Faiths Officer (20 hours / week) and Anna-Marie Allbones, the
Admin Assistant (30 hours / week).Our Community Liaison Officers (Tanya White
and Elahe Mojdehi) (10 hours / week) both left during the year. One post was filled with the appointment of
Vinaya Kulkarni and despite attempts to find a suitable person, the other post
remained vacant at the end of the year. The
outstanding vacancy has imposed considerable pressure on the remaining staff. Liz Pichon and Rose Norgate are Faith
Officers in West Suffolk and Waveney respectively. David Capey is the voluntary Executive
Officer, Cynthia Capey is the voluntary Education and Training Officer. Throughout the year, one volunteer (Bernard
Jasper) was present in the Centre every Tuesday.
Since our last report, SIFRE’s staff have continued to explore the
extent and limitations of their involvement.
Last year’s intention to limit staff involvement in statutory committees
has proved difficult because, after further discussion at staff and Board
levels, it was seen that although the dilemma remains, such engagement was
invaluable in terms of networking and awareness raising.
Anne’s service to the various committees on diversity and equality continued
as did her work as Vice-Chair of an inter-agency committee looking at new and
emerging communities. Additionally
during the year, she has been involved in the follow up meetings which started
as a result of Mojlum Khan's research report on young Muslims.
Whilst she was with us, Tanya’s time was increasingly taken up in
organising the 2008 Holocaust Memorial weekend in January of this year and her role
was redesigned to make this her exclusive concern. Suffolk County Council funded her time to
enable Tanya engage in its preparation.
Anna-Marie remains the telephone voice of SIFRE and “keeper” of the Centre. Her role has changed somewhat since SIFRE
moved from the Bungalow but she is responsible for checking SIFRE’s stock of
books at the Centre, recording the borrowing of resources and generally keeping
things ship-shape.
In 2007-2008, SIFRE again engaged the services of about 70 faith tutors
who were employed on an “as needed” basis.
SIFRE charges its clients for their services and pays the tutors an
hourly rate and out of pocket expenses. Some
tutors choose to donate their earnings to SIFRE. Tutors who are also members of the Board of
SIFRE are not paid for their work but are offered their out of pocket expenses.
The day to day work of SIFRE is now conducted by two full time voluntary
staff who work from home, three part time salaried staff who work from the
SIFRE Centre. The following staff have
been associated with SIFRE in the last year.
Hon Executive Officer |
David Capey |
Hon Education and Training Officer |
Cynthia Capey |
Faiths Officer |
Anne Spalding |
Community Liaison Officer |
Tanya White |
Community Liaison Officer |
Vinaya Kulkarni |
Admin Assistant |
Anna-Marie Allbones |
Hon Faiths Officer (West Suffolk) |
Liz Pichon |
Hon Faiths Officer (Waveney) |
Rose Norgate |
The Board would like to express its gratitude
to all staff and volunteers for the work they have done for SIFRE in this last year. In particular it wishes to name Bernard
Jasper who helps out in the Centre on a regular basis and whenever cover is
required and to Richard Togher who oversees the library which was this year
enhanced with the receipt of Suffolk New College’s stock of theology books.
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.
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.
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.
In furtherance of these objectives, the following activities have taken
place during the year:-
SIFRE retains its responsive strategy and in the last year it has
continued to provide teaching and training service to its established clients
(schools in Suffolk and Norfolk and Essex, the WEA, hospitals, police, Suffolk
County Council, Ipswich Borough Council, St.
Edmundsbury Borough Council, Waveney District Council and Suffolk New College
and Lowestoft College) as well as again responding to requests from the Prison
Service and the Probation Service for Diversity Training of staff. There is growing interest from some of the
Christian Churches in hearing about other faiths and in particular our Muslim
Tutors have been in great demand.
In other parts of the county, our SIFRE Circles have been increasingly active. In Waveney / Lowestoft, under Rose Norgate’s lead, they participated in a conference at Lowestoft College
called ‘My Town, Your Town, Our Town’. In
Bury St Edmunds, Liz Pichon and her group have arranged a number of successful
events including a Festival of Light at West Suffolk College. Much groundwork and bridge-building continues
behind the scenes.
Our ongoing work
with the hospitals and our support for their developing multi-faith
Chaplaincies is particularly important .
The research
conducted last year into Muslim experiences and aspirations has been significant
for the local community and this has led to frequent follow-up meetings
involving all the interested parties.
SIFRE staff have
continued to serve on numerous statutory and voluntary sector committees
including the Suffolk Joint Diversity Working Group; the Mayor of
Ipswich's Civic Celebration of Community; East Suffolk Theology Forum; Ipswich
Hospital's Respecting Diversity User Group (including the Hospital's
Celebration of Faiths event); Suffolk Primary Care Trust's Equalities and
Diversity Steering Group; Suffolk New College's Equality and Diversity Awayday;
the Forum of Refugees, Asylum Seekers and New and Emerging Communities; the
Race and Faith Forum; the Waveney Community Cohesion Partnership; the
University Campus Suffolk Equality and Diversity Committee; the CPS Case Review Panel; and the Police Diversity Board
SIFRE was involved in the local World Aids
Day event, the Mental Health and the Churches/Faith communities group and was in
discussions with Suffolk Mental Health Partnership.
On the first
Tuesday of each month, SIFRE hosts a Seniors’ Inter-Faith Tea Party, often at
the 7th Day Adventist Church.
This groups has been preparing to present a Forum of Faiths event on
‘Caring for the Elderly’
During the year

work and were able to share ideas and good practice.
SIFRE photographic exhibition, ‘Faces of Suffolk’, which started as a
travelling exhibition has had outings to Lowestoft, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds
during the year.
Our inter-faith handbook remains one of our flag ship products. The new fourth edition, re-titled ‘A Handbook
of Faiths’, produced and published in conjunction with the Festival Shop in
Birmingham, continues to sell well.
Our game ‘Diversity’ has been redesigned by the Festival Shop and it is
now available in a smart A4 sized box with a folding A3 sized playing mat. In the last year, the game has been purchased
by all sorts of organisations from all parts of the UK
SIFRE is only as successful as those who work for it as staff and tutors
make it and the Board would like to acknowledge the parts played by an
incredible number of people over the last year.
Financial Review
The financial position of SIFRE remains more or
less sound. SIFRE receives core funding
from Suffolk County Council to pay its salaried staff and funding from Suffolk
Constabulary contributes to the salary of one of its Community Liaison Officers. There is slight concern that staff costs are
escalating because of annual increments and cost of living awards (staff are
paid according to the NJC pay scales) and they are increasingly being subsidized
by SIFRE’s income from other activities.
These other activities are self funding and generate sufficient
overheads to also cover the costs relating to administration and the running
the office. Income received from
membership subscriptions is mostly consumed in the costs associated with
preparation and posting of members mailings.
Accounts are prepared for the year 1st April to 31st
March. Over this period, SIFRE’s total
funds have reduced from £62K to £42K.This reduction is accounted for because
one of the restricted funds (Muslim Research), established at the end of the
financial year 2006 – 2007, has been expended during this financial year. More significantly, £12.5K belonging to the
EEFA project has been transferred to The East of England Faiths Agency which is
now been established as a Community Interest Company with its own accounting
system.
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 SIFRE's
dissolution. Based on actual expenditure
for 2007-2008 this equates to a desired reserve of £17.5K.As at 31st
March 2008, it has retained reserves of £30,000.
The Board would like to register its appreciation to Suffolk County
Council and Suffolk Constabulary for their ongoing financial support. It would also like to thank Suffolk New College
/ University Campus Suffolk for providing accommodation and associated service
at no cost to SIFRE.
The Future
We reported two years ago that SIFRE’s long association with its
landlord Suffolk College was coming to an end and that University Campus
Suffolk was to take possession of the land on which the Centre stood and we would
become their tenant. This uncertainty
continued through 2007 – 2008 but we believe that UCS is now the legal owners
of the Long Street building and UCS is our landlord.
Whilst our Long Street accommodation is fine as a working office space,
it does not engender the warm receptive atmosphere of our previous
accommodation and it presents some of our members with a problem because it still
lacks access suitable for disabled people.
We are fortunate that when necessary, we can use other disabled person
friendly accommodation for our on campus events and the Seventh-day Adventist
Church continues to host SIFRE’s Seniors’ tea-parties.
The Board again wishes to express its gratitude to Dave Muller and all
the staff of Suffolk New College who made us so welcome, to the members of
Suffolk new college / UCS Estates team who are always friendly and helpful and
to our new landlords at University Campus Suffolk for their willingness to
continue to accommodate us.
The faiths landscape of Suffolk is changing and maturing and the Board
see this as a challenge to how they continue their work in the county. Working this out will be a major priority in
2008 - 2009
SIFRE has always been reactive rather than proactive and to date the
Board have not resolved to act differently.
This policy allows SIFRE to respond swiftly to any situation in any
place or at any time.
Dr W David Capey.(Hon Treasurer).

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 2008,
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:
1. 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
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn
in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
