PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Encountering God through transformative worship, challenging discipleship, generous hospitality
and prayerful engagement.
Portsmouth Cathedral is a distinctively spiritual and prayerful space, into which everyone is welcome to
come; a Christian community committed to promoting social justice, equality and compassion. In grateful
response to God’s goodness we will act ethically and responsibly in managing our resources and in caring
for the environment.
Transformative Worship
We will be a centre of excellence for liturgy and music. Our worship will be beautiful, relevant, creative
and engaging. It will be transformative in that each act of worship offered and experienced will leave us
changed and better prepared to serve God in the world.
Challenging Discipleship
We will provide a wide range of educational opportunities for children, young people and adults which
will deepen our understanding of the Christian faith and how it relates to the world in which we live. It
will develop our spirituality and challenge us to model our lives after the example of Jesus Christ.
Generous Hospitality
We will be an inclusive Christian community where all are welcomed. We will model our life together
so that we can offer not only an initial welcome but ongoing hospitality to regular members, occasional
visitors, concert goers, exhibition visitors, the local community, the City and the Diocese of Portsmouth.
Prayerful Engagement
Our pattern and rhythm of prayer and worship will equip us to serve our local parish community, the
City of Portsmouth, the Bishop, the Diocese and beyond in relevant practical ways which have a positive
impact on the lives of others and help to build the Kingdom of God.

STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (GOVERNANCE)
The authorities listed in this section each have a specific role in the governance of the Cathedral.
The Chapter of the Cathedral
The Cathedrals Measure 1999 requires that it shall be the duty of the Chapter to direct and oversee the
administration of the affairs of the Cathedral and in particular, to:
Order the worship and promote the mission of the Cathedral;
Formulate, after consultation with the Bishop, proposals in connection with the general direction and
mission of the Cathedral and submit them to the Council for its advice;
Prepare an annual budget for the Cathedral;
Submit to the Council the annual report and audited accounts prepared by the Chapter and such other
reports as may be requested by the Council on any matter concerning the Cathedral;
Submit to the College of Canons the annual report and audited accounts prepared as aforesaid;
Keep under review the Constitution and Statutes of the Cathedral and submit any proposals for their
revision to the Council;
Manage all property vested in the Cathedral and the income accruing from it and, in particular, ensure
that necessary repairs and maintenance in respect of the Cathedral and its contents and other buildings
and monuments are carried out, and
Perform such other functions as may be prescribed.
The Chapter is also responsible under the requirements laid down by the Church Commissioners under
the powers given them by Section 27 of the Cathedrals Measure 1999 for:
Preparing and publishing an annual report and audited accounts which give a true and fair view of the
financial activities for each financial year and of the assets, liabilities and funds at the end of each financial
year of Portsmouth Cathedral and its related entities;
Stating that they have complied in all material respects with the guidelines on the subject prepared by the
Association of English Cathedrals or describing which recommendations have not been complied with
and giving reasons for the non-compliance;
Selecting suitable accounting policies and then applying them consistently;
Page 4
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
Making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Keeping proper accounting records from which the financial position of the Cathedral can be ascertained
with reasonable accuracy at any time; and safeguarding the assets of the Cathedral and taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
A list of Chapter members is shown on page 1.
Finance and Investment Committee
The Constitution requires the setting up of a Finance Committee, known as the Finance and Investment
Committee (FIC), with the function of advising the Chapter in connection with its responsibilities in the
field of financial and investment management. Chapter receives and acts with the guidance and the advice
given to it by FIC. The Chapter appoints the members of this Chapter sub-committee. During the year
Mr Frank Reid retired and Ms Michelle McGrade resigned.
The Members of the Committee are listed on page 1.
Fabric Advisory Committee
Under the Care of Cathedrals Measure 1990, the Fabric Advisory Committee (FAC) is responsible to the
Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England and considers applications from the Chapter in regard to
proposed development of and changes to the Cathedral's fabric.
There are eight voting members of the Fabric Advisory Committee, four appointed by the Cathedrals
Fabric Commission after consultation with the Chapter, and four by the Chapter after consultation with
the Commission. The members appoint a Chairman from among their own number. In 2014 Ms Rolly
Thomas resigned from the committee and her place as a Chapter nominee was taken by Dr Karen
Fielder of the University of Portsmouth. The Dean and Chapter Clerk attend meetings on behalf of the
Chapter, and other Chapter members are free to attend; no members of the Chapter have a vote. The
Cathedral Archaeologist, and the Cathedral Architect have, under Section 4 of the Care of Cathedrals
Measure 1990, a duty to attend meetings, although neither has a vote.
Members of the Committee are listed on page 1.
Cathedral Council
It is the duty of Cathedral Council to support the work of the Cathedral Church; spiritual, pastoral,
evangelistic, social, and ecumenical, receiving and considering the annual budget and annual accounts,
reviewing and advising Chapter accordingly.
Reserves Policy
Reserves are needed both to maintain the level of the Cathedral’s current activities and to enable the
completion of long-term projects.
Maintaining unrestricted reserves protects the Cathedral against a sudden deterioration in its financial
results (e.g. a significant drop in income or a major repair project). It also provides a buffer in the event
of long-term planning or restructuring. Chapter’s aim is to retain a short-term reserve of 6 months of
ordinary activity to protect the Cathedral’s operations. Where specific future funding needs are
Page 5
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
identified, Chapter has the discretion to set aside free funds for designated purposes, those funds being
declared as Designated Funds.
Investment Policy
Chapter aims to keep a balanced portfolio of investments that adopts a balanced approach to risk. The
attainment of long-term objectives requires the acceptance of a level of investment risk, which manifests
itself primarily in the fluctuation of the capital value.
Chapter currently has three appointed investment brokers, Sarasin Partners LLP (appointed in 2013),
Rathbones (on receipt of a legacy portfolio) and CCLA as brokers to the Cathedral’s original portfolio.
Funds are required to be invested, as far as is possible, in accordance with the Statement of Ethical
Investment Policy issued by the Church of England Advisory Group. Responsibility for the management
of this policy rests with the Chapter, but authority to conduct stock transactions on a day-today basis
under this policy is delegated to the cathedral’s investment managers. Chapter plans to rationalise the
number of brokers and will be undertaking a review of investment performance in 2015.
Investment return is shown in note 5(i) to the annual report and the investment report is on page 25.
Portsmouth Cathedral Development Trust (PCDT)
The Trust was formed originally in the 1980s and exists principally to receive funds from appeals made on
the Cathedral’s behalf and to make grants to the Cathedral in accordance with the terms of the Trust
Deed and the relevant appeal.
The Trust presently holds funds arising from such appeals and releases them to the Cathedral under the
terms of the Trust Deed.
As a separate Charity with its own body of trustees, PCDT prepares its own annual accounts which are
submitted to the Charity Commissioners. PCDT is chaired by Major General Martin White.
The Role of the Cathedral in the Diocese
Every day throughout the year prayers are offered in the Cathedral for the parishes in the Diocese, their
clergy, office holders and parishioners. The Cathedral provides the venue (and the organisational,
administrative and musical support) for a number of Diocesan services, such as ordinations and
confirmations, and other major events. The Cathedral also hosts civic occasions locally, nationally and
internationally.
Chapter members and Cathedral Staff actively participate in the Mission and Ministry of the Diocese,
serving on the Bishop’s Staff and many Diocesan committees and working groups. Time spent by
Chapter members on Diocesan tasks (which can be significant) in the regular and normal course of their
work, whether for formal joint events or work which they undertake voluntarily, is not charged to the
Diocese. It is felt that to do so would be inconsistent with common mission and ministry. Cathedral
clergy and lay ministers regularly take services in churches throughout the diocese to cover sickness,
leave and interregnum and are happy to do so where Cathedral duties permit.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
There were a number of changes to the membership of Chapter in 2014. Canon Peter Leonard was
appointed as Residentiary Canon with the newly created role with responsibility for Discipleship, Growth
and Community Outreach. Canon Michael Tristram, formerly the Canon Pastor took over responsibility
Page 6
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
for Music and Liturgy. Canon David Isaac retired in September after 22 years as a Residentiary Canon
and Canon Anthony Rustell was appointed as Residentiary Canon and Head of Mission, Discipleship and
Ministry for the Diocese of Portsmouth. Mrs Ann Wilson (Lay Member) on completion of her term of
office retired in September and Mrs Fiona Alsop (Lay Member) took up office from December.
The Cathedral staff also underwent a number of changes in 2014. Following the review of the
Cathedral’s education provision by The Revd Alice Wood, interview for a permanent Education Officer
took place in November and Mrs Sarah Page was appointed from January 2015. Following the retirement
in April of Mr David Lee as verger, Miss Jessica-Louise Hallion was appointed as Head Verger from May.
Mr Adam Bullivant, Assistant Verger, left in November to volunteer at the Taizé Community in France
and Miss Malina Wyzykowska was appointed Assistant Verger from November. A rearrangement of
hours for the Administrative Assistant led to the appointment of Mr Jason Stanbridge-Howard from
September. There was the usual departure of ‘Gap Year’ Choral Scholars in July and the arrival of new
Choral Scholars in September. Mrs Kitty Price was licensed as Reader in September and joined the
Ministry Team. Mr Frank Reid stood down as Churchwarden and Mrs Sue Ward was elected to serve
alongside Emeritus Professor Michael Purvis, who was re-elected, at the APCM.
Various staff attended training days and conferences throughout the year and our Finance Officer
continued with her AAT accounting qualification training. Our ‘Development Plan’ discussions identified
the need to undertake an Administration Review and Stephen Dawson, the Deputy Diocesan Secretary
for the Diocese of Salisbury, assisted with this and work on it is still ongoing.
Chapter having decided to review its Vision and Strategic Framework (2012-2017) with a view to
establishing a ‘Development Plan’ undertook a staff ‘Away Day’ in February, a Chapter ‘Residential’ in May
and a series of discussions and consultations with the Cathedral’s various committees and congregation.
The Revd Tim Daykin, radio broadcaster, and Mr James Blott and Mr David Carpenter from the
Cathedral Council assisted with facilitating discussion and drawing up a framework for layout and
publication of the ‘Development Plan’ which was launched on 29 September to considerable appreciation.
It’s ‘Statement of Purpose’ and ‘Goals and Key Actions’ are set out on pages 3 – 4.
A major focus of the year has been the maintenance and repair of the Cathedral’s various properties long
overdue and now possible through the William Groves and other legacies received. A surveyor was
appointed in January and improvement work undertaken on: the Deanery, 51 High Street, 29 Penny
Street and Cathedral House Flat 2. The electrics of these properties were also tested and appropriate
certification issued. Cathedral House had a number of windows replaced and it is planned to repair and
replace more in 2015.
Considerable time and money has also been spent on the Cathedral with repair work to the Nave and
Cloister windows, general maintenance of the roofs and essential immediate repair works to the Tower
Cupola in preparation for major repair work in 2015. Chapter is very pleased to have been awarded
grant aid from the First World War Centenary Cathedral Repair Fund (FWWCCRF) to undertake
essential structural and water damage repair work to the Tower and South Transept planned for
completion in 2015. It is planned as part of the work that a number of specialist tours will be facilitated
by our architect, Simon Ablett, to view the Tower.
Work has continued throughout the year on the Cathedral’s ‘Landscape Project’ with our landscape
architect, Max Askew, supported by the archaeologist Gerry Wait facilitating a number of discussions in
the Cathedral’s committees and consultation events for the congregation and public. These resulted in
Page 7
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
an ‘indicative design’ being drawn up and further discussions with the Cathedral’s Fabric Commission for
England (CFCE), Portsmouth City Council, Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and others has continued.
Conservation Plus consultancy have been appointed to assist with making an HLF bid and it is planned
this will be done in 2015 with a Stage One bid for c£100,000 to undertake: detailed design, planning
applications and engagement work with the public followed by a Stage Two bid for c£1,500,000. It is
planned, subject to HLF funding, to offer a range of opportunities and activities to engage the public with
the heritage and future of the Cathedral including a number of archaeological ‘digs’ which it is understood
will be immensely rewarding and worthwhile.
The life of the Cathedral remains vibrant and varied and along with the traditional Eucharistic and
Evensong services, using the wide range of musical resources including a jazz mass, the Cathedral has
continued with its monthly Taizé style worship and developed and expanded its participation in ‘Messy
Cathedral’ which has attracted new families to the Cathedral. A new venture for the year has been
engagement with the acclaimed ‘Pilgrim’ course which has been followed by ‘Soul Spark’ in 2015.
Each year the Cathedral is the venue for a variety of concerts and exhibitions which this year included
sculptures by Philip Jackson and an ‘open workshop’ enabling the public to experience gilding our herald
‘Fama’, now returned to its place above the pulpit, and which proved very popular. One of the elements
to come out of the ‘Development Plan’ was to establish an annual theme for the Cathedral and for 201415 this is ‘political awareness’. A number of challenging lectures have already been well received and a
series of Lent lectures are planned for 2015. Part of Cathedral House is leased to the Cathedral
Innovation Centre (CIC) to promote, develop and assist ‘start up’ and fledgling businesses by providing
business premises and professional business mentoring continues to be a success. Currently it is
supporting over 30 ventures and is gaining national recognition with new projects started or planned in
other cities and countries. The reports of activities of the various groups in the booklet issued at the
APCM show a high level of commitment and we are grateful to staff and volunteers for their hard work
and support.
Finance
The management of the ‘Operational’ budget went essentially according to plan with income slightly
greater than expenditure and both a little over 100% of budget forecast. The William Groves legacy, final
payment of this being received in December, along with other legacies from: Roy Scott, Richard
Eckersley, Danielle Taylor, Angela Barrett and Muriel Van Staveren, for which Chapter is very grateful,
helped not only with operational costs but most specifically with ‘Development Plan’ initiatives.
The receipt of the William Groves legacy in 2013 marked a step change in the Cathedral’s finances. We
now have significant reserves, enabling us to put the Cathedral on a sound footing for the future, and
allowing the base finance for projects developing in line with the ‘Development Plan’ launched in 2014.
As part of the William Groves legacy the Cathedral received ownership of a small shop in Petersfield,
which following a review of its future with its tenants, who ceased to trade, was sold in October 2014 for
£146,246.80 net of sale expenses and the proceeds have been invested.
The main indicator of performance on the Statement of Financial Activities (page 12) is the General Fund
result before “other recognised gains”. The General Fund is an unrestricted fund into which the income
from our ordinary activities goes and from which we pay for our general running costs.
Page 8
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
REPORT OF THE CHAPTER
General reserves now stand at £3,184,733 (2013 £2,997,778) and exist to enable us to continue the
Cathedral’s mission in the event of an emergency or a need to make a major investment.
The Finance and Investment Committee (FIC) continues to place focus on sustainability of income and
cost control and aims to ensure that expenditure has a measurable benefit to the mission of the
Cathedral and aligns with the ‘Development Plan’. The focus of the FIC has developed this year to
include consideration of investment performance as part of its regular business. Following the William
Groves bequest and the appointment of Sarasin Partners LLP in 2013 as brokers for the bulk of the
portfolio the committee gave them the investment objectives: to achieve long-term capital and income
growth and to provide a reasonable, regular and foreseeable income to support the Cathedral’s current
financial needs. This should be achieved by investing in a diversified portfolio of Investment Funds. The
selection of the Funds will be made to reflect the benchmarks established for asset classes. A medium to
low risk profile is taken on equities and performance is measured against a composite benchmark index.
The committee has made regular reviews of their performance and also of CCLA’s as the incumbent
brokers for the majority of the Cathedral’s other investments including managed property funds.
Chapter owns property to house clergy and staff and to use for offices and some is held for investment
purposes and is rented out on a commercial basis where possible to generate funds for the day-to-day
operation of the ministry of the Cathedral. At 31 December 2014 total investments excluding direct
property holdings totalled £2,338,213 (2013: £2,207,606). More detail on the investments can be seen in
the Report and Accounts and Chapter will be looking at rationalising its investment management in 2015.
The members of FIC would like to thank the congregation for their support and generosity and are
always grateful for their views and comments.
The Cathedral Shop continues to provide a significant contribution to income and has benefited from the
Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) system installed in 2013, evidenced through improved stock recording
and sales data, and had another successful and profitable year in 2014 and generated a net income of
£6,757. We would like to thank the Shop Manager, Christine Richardson, and her team of volunteers, for
their ongoing service and dedication.
In summary, 2014 was the first full year of activity backed by a more foreseeable income stream, allowing
new activity to take place in line with the ‘Development Plan’ but none the less retaining focus on core
costs.
Risk management
The Chapter delegated to its Finance and Investment Committee the development of a Risk Management
Register which has been accepted and ratified by Chapter. The principal areas of the Cathedral’s
operations were examined and the major risks faced in each of these areas considered. In the opinion of
the Finance and Investment Committee and of the Chapter the Cathedral has put in place resources and
review systems which would allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day
operations.

Chapter those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the Cathedral and the Chapter as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
Respective responsibilities of the Chapter and auditors

Board's (APB's) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Regulations for English Anglican Cathedrals issued in November 2006
by the Cathedral Administration and Finance Association. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that property and
investments are included at a valuation.
The principal accounting policies have remained unchanged from the previous year and are set out below.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are funds where no restrictions are placed on the use by the Cathedral as regards either the capital or the income. Designated funds are
unrestricted funds set aside by Chapter for specific purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor and are set out in notes to the financial
statements. The reserve arising on the revaluation of properties within the Cathedral Close is deemed to be a restricted fund.
The Cathedral's expendable endowment funds are set out in notes to the financial statements. They arise from a legacy received. Income from the funds is
unrestricted.
Income
Dividend income and bank interest are included at the time of receipt at amounts which include recoverable income tax where appropriate. Voluntary
income is received by way of general donations, special donations, church collections, Gift Aid donations and legacies. Such income is included at the time of
receipt at amounts which include recoverable income tax on Gift Aid donations. Other income is included at the time of receipt or, in the case of grants,
when the necessary conditions have been met.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Chapter to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for
on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
“Costs of generating funds” comprise costs of attracting voluntary income, costs of trading for fund raising purposes, and costs of managing the investment
properties.
“Expenditure on mission” comprises costs of the Cathedral’s ministry, upkeep of the Cathedral fabric and precincts, and education and outreach.
“Governance” comprises costs of meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Cathedral and its subsidiary companies.
“Support costs” comprise salaries and office costs and have been allocated to the activity cost categories based on an estimate of the time spent.
Fixed assets
In accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Regulations for English Anglican Cathedrals, no value is attributed in the balance sheet to the Cathedral as
it is an inalienable and historic building for which no reliable cost information or conventional valuation basis is available.
The cost of the Cathedral church building is not included in the balance sheet.
Property assets are included at market value.
Items in the Cathedral inventory purchased prior to 1999 are not included in the balance sheet as their value is not readily ascertainable.
Page 14
PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets (other than buildings) by equal annual
instalments over their expected useful economic lives. The rates generally applicable are:
Office equipment
25%
Fixtures and fittings
20%
Cathedral inventory
Other equipment
2%
33⅓%
Buildings are not depreciated (on the basis that such depreciation would be immaterial) but are subject to an annual impairment review.
Investments
Investments are included in the balance sheet at their market values.
Stocks
Retail stocks in the bookshop are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
In accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Regulations for English Anglican Cathedrals, no value is attributed in the balance sheet to the Cathedral
inventory which comprises items of architectural, archaeological, artistic or historical interest.
Pension schemes
The pension costs charged against the surplus represent the amount of the contributions payable to pension schemes in respect of the accounting period.

REPORT ON INVESTMENTS
The investment objectives given to our principal fund managers, Sarasin, are to achieve long-term capital and income growth and to provide a reasonable, regular
and foreseeable income to support the Cathedral’s current financial needs. This should be achieved by investing in a diversified portfolio of Investment Funds.
The selection of the Funds will be made to reflect the benchmarks established for asset classes.
A medium to low risk profile is taken on equities and performance is measured against a composite benchmark index.
Funds are invested in accordance with the Statement of Ethical Investment Policy issued by the Church of England Advisory Group.
Investments in property are to be either capable of efficient local management or in the form of managed property funds. Locally managed property is retained
either for the use of clergy or staff or may be let commercially. Managed property funds are held through CCLA.
Responsibility for the management of this policy rests with the Chapter, but authority to conduct stock transactions on a day-today basis under this policy is
delegated to the cathedral’s investment managers.
Property Investments
The Cathedral owns property to house clergy and staff and to use for offices. Other property is held for investment purposes and is rented out on a commercial
basis where possible to generate funds for the day-to-day operation of the ministry of the Cathedral. Part of the Cathedral House building is leased to the
Cathedral Innovation Centre at a rent below market value. Chapter consider this to be a contribution towards encouraging socially responsible business
innovation and an appropriate use of the facilities which would otherwise be under-utilised.
As part of the Groves legacy the Cathedral received ownership of a small shop in Petersfield, which following a review of its future with its tenants, who ceased
to trade was sold for £150,000 in 2014. The proceeds less expenses have been invested.
Returns from property excluding investment funds were £50,101.
