HARLOW HEALTH CENTRES TRUST LIMITED

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Harlow Health Centres Trust Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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).

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Harlow Health Centres Trust owns and is responsible for six health centres in Harlow providing general practitioner (GP), dentistry, community services, and pharmaceutical and other specialist services. Since 1994 the Trust has undertaken a programme of redevelopment of existing centres, providing fit for purpose health facilities for the residents of Harlow. HHCT also provides grants and donations to support appropriate health initiatives and has a charitable mandate to expand its operations throughout Essex and Hertfordshire.

Vision and mission:

The Trust’s mission is to provide high quality, community-based health centres and foster improved health outcomes through the targeted use of grants and donations. This will be achieved through the delivery of the Strategy.

Our corporate values are:

Our Corporate aims, objectives and Action Plan were developed following a programme of analysis and reviewed during 2020. HHCT had five overarching aims and objectives for 2022. These were to:

1) Maintain existing HHCT health centres to provide high quality and cost-effective facilities for patients and health professionals.

5) Improve succession planning to ensure that HHCT can continue to deliver its health objectives beyond the life of the Strategy.

The Board monitor the Action Plan which outlines the agreed steps to achieve the desired strategy and how progress is being made. In the achievements section, there is a summary of the state of play of those actions and their progress.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Grants and donations:

Organisations and individuals may apply for grants which promote the objectives of the charity. Applications are considered by the trustees who will, if required, seek specialist advice and consult with the appropriate bodies. The Trustees have agreed to budget grants and donations in 2022 at £123,000 per annum.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Good progress has been made against the Action Plan for this Strategy period.

Key achievements:

The Strategy document sets out HHCT’s journey and key achievements with a yearly refresh. The key achievements for 2022 strategy implementation are set out below.

End of year surplus and plans for the future:

The surplus before realised and unrealised gains in 2022 excluding grants and depreciation was £984,978 compared with £1,133,590 for the year ended 31 December 2021.

To ensure that enough liquid funds are available the Trust will be retaining reserves to ensure that the start-up and progress of any redevelopment can proceed smoothly. This obviously has an impact on the reserves and grants policy.

Investment policy and returns

The Trust has an ongoing policy of improving and updating its premises. These projects are always carefully costed and appraised. The objective is always to ensure that the capital expense supports maintaining and improving our facilities and is always funded by rental returns.

Loan repayments

The annual surplus is also used to repay loans (capital and interest) raised for redeveloping the various premises.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going concern

All of our tenants are related to the healthcare sector. The majority of tenants have likewise continued to operate post year end and we do not expect there to be a fall in rental cash inflows, the majority if not all is expected to be received by the end of the financial year. The Directors believe that by keeping open lines of communication with tenants, closely monitoring cash outflows and high levels of liquidity, this should allow the company to continue trading for the foreseeable future and therefore deemed it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Reserves

The Trust maintains bank balances and sufficient funds at short notice to uphold the level of expenditure on management and running expenses for a period of at least nine months. When the Trust redevelops its health centres significant upfront funding is required which initially has to be provided from the cash reserves of the Trust. Therefore, for any redevelopment the Trust has to retain significant reserves to fund these initial costs until loan drawdowns are received. Loan repayments and interest due are covered by rental income. The reserves policy is reviewed annually and at the end of the financial year reserves are retained to aid and progress future developments.

To finance the redevelopment program of the health centres the Trust uses loan finance as set out in note 16 and 17. As a result the trust has to make significant surpluses to fund the annual repayment of these loans.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Governance and internal control

Two Trustees retire each year and may be re-elected. The financial position and cash-flow reports and project costings are presented to the Trustees for their examination at their regular meetings. The Trust is governed by its board of trustees which meet bimonthly to consider all aspects of the organisation’s policies and activities.

Mrs. Carol Sizeland was Chief Executive with Mr. Geoffrey Roberts sharing the role from April 2022 to support a smooth transition, in preparation for Mrs. Sizeland’s impending retirement. They were jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the charity. Members of the board are also available on an ad hoc basis as required. As stated in note 11 all board members are unpaid.

Benefit statement

The Trust was established to provide and maintain primary health care premises for the people of Harlow. It has been able to redevelop and build six new premises providing modern state of the art facilities. This has also made possible expansion of further health care services across Harlow.

Since 2001 the Trust has been able to make grants and donations exceeding £1,800,000 to promote health initiatives and care within the community. The Trust re-launched its grants policy in March 2022.

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

Annual Review

An annual review is prepared on each occasion an open AGM is held.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Future plans

The Trust continues to work with Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB), Harlow Council (HDC) and NHS England to develop health facilities on the periphery of Harlow possibly into Hertfordshire.

A succession plan to replace our CEO was undertaken and the transition successfully managed.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

The Charity is a charitable company (No. 02955851) limited by guarantee and was set up in 1995. It is registered with the Charity Commission, No. 1050493.

PAY POLICY AND SENIOR STAFF

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Governance

The Board of Trustees have responsibility for the Governance function. The Board meets bi-monthly and holds an annual AGM. Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Trust continues to fulfil its mission and charitable remit, delivers the Corporate Strategy and operates in accordance with the Charity Commission and all other statutory regulations and requirements.

Method of appointment or election of trustees

Any additional trustees are appointed by the existing board members. The Trustees would look for individuals with an interest in the aims and objectives of the charity, but also with a skillset that can add to the current mix of experience. A new Trustee would have the terms governing the Trust and the policies and objectives explained to them at a meeting with the existing Trustees.

Employee involvement and employment of the disabled

Employees have been consulted on issues of concern to them by means of regular consultative committee and staff meetings and have been kept informed on specific matters directly by management.

The charity has implemented a number of detailed policies in relation to all aspects of personnel matters with the organisation and employees having access to HR support from an external provider.

In accordance with the charity’s equal opportunities policy, the charity has long established fair employment practices in the recruitment, selection, retention and training of disabled staff.

Full details of these policies are available from the charity's office.

Valuation of assets

The Trust had a valuation of all its properties undertaken by Aitchison Raffety, a RICS registered company. Within the year to 31st December 2021, the valuation of its assets increased to £35,100,30 at this time. The Trustees are of the opinion that the property values have not materially changed since the last valuation.

This report will be renewed in 2023.

Risk management

The Trust reviews all risks via a S.W.O.T process, as part of the strategy update. The weakness and threats identified form the risks facing the trust. Actions are detailed for all these risks in strategic plan. Each risk is owned by a Trustee or the CEO, and progress is monitored.

Remuneration

The Trust reviews the remuneration of employees annually. Salary increases and bonus payments are agreed following the appraisal of both organisational and individual performance against relevant objectives and targets. Organisational objectives and targets are set out in the Corporate Strategy and related Action Plan. Most individual objectives and targets derive from the Corporate Strategy, are agreed at the beginning of each year and are documented in individual appraisal documents on a minimum six-monthly basis. The Trustees conduct an annual salary survey of what the NHS and Charity sector is paying for comparable jobs to ensure external equity.

Disclosure of information to Auditor

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' Report is approved has confirmed that so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be

Auditor

A resolution proposing that Price Bailey LLP be re-appointed as auditors of the charity will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HARLOW HEALTH CENTRES TRUST LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Harlow Health Centres Trust Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

HARLOW HEALTH CENTRES TRUST LIMITED

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HARLOW HEALTH CENTRES TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. General information

Harlow Health Centres Trust is a charity, incorporated in England and Wales. Its Registered Office is The Latton Bush Centre, Southren Way, Harlow, Essex, CM18 7BL. Its Registered Number is 02955851 Charity Number 1050493.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Harlow Health Centres Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The charity's functional currency is pounds sterling (£).

2.2 Company Status

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarentee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

2.3 Fund Accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the descretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds available for the general purpose of the organisation which the Trustees have set aside for a particualr purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes of the financial statements.

2.4 Going concern

The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the abilitiy of the charity to continue as a going concern. Any future plans will be financed from future rentals, whereby all tenants are related to the healthcare sector. The Trustees therefore deem it appropriate to preapre the financial statements on the going concern basis.

2.5 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

2.7 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.8 Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Plant and machinery - 20% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 20% reducing balance

2.13 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.14 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. All financial instruments of the charity are measured at cost with the exception of programme related investments which are shown at their open market value. The value of programme related investments as well as their original cost is stated in note 13.

Financial assets include investments in the portfolio, the bank balances, trade debtors, accrued income and other debtors but exclude prepayments and taxation.

Financial liabilities include trade creditors, other creditors, accruals and deferred income but exclude social security and other taxes due.

2.15 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
