For the y•ar •nded 31 Docomb•r 2021
The chaiman PTe8ents hls Stslement for the year.
Throuphout the ffirsl year of the pandemic we hoped that 2021 would be a yeor when everything went back to
normal and our focus could ￿luM to ensuring resldents lives could be lived as lully a5 Posglble wth fewer
re8trith'on8. Following the fir31 months of lockdowns. 2021 gaw a partial relum lo normality, and a sense of relief
was felt by all, As frondlne carers supporting adults Imlh profound and mulb'ple disabilibes, we had been
fortunate to be first in Ilne lo receive vaccinations and boosters, both of ￿lch were moylly enthusiosticalty
received. Unfortunately, as the year progressed. further v8ri8n18 of Covid brought In morè uncertainty and
renewed Concemy for the health of our residents and staff. The teams acTo$s the organbsallon were therefore.
again, primarily focused on re8cling to the changes required to balance the safely of all at Martha with the need
lo enable1Sfe Its be Ilved lo Ils ftJlle31.
Nationally there has b•en a recognised 'crisls' In Ihe 8oclal care sector Sn tenns o181aff vacancy level8. *1th
Skills for Care quoting more than 105,000 roles available on average each day in 2020r21. Previousty I have
¥poken about the hlgh fetenlion rote we have achl•ved at Martha. and the work we do to ensure our culture Is
one %thlch retains our staff through appreciallon, support and value5. 2021 was a challenge in temis of staff
rgcvuilmenl and relents'on, and we did see our care team numbers reduce for a v8riely of rea$on5, Includlng
several h)ng 8landing employees who chogè lo rettre and a few who dld not IM8h lo be vaccinated against Covld
19. However. wth the strong foundatlong already In place we dld manage lo contlnue lo attract nmv employees
and mainlaln 8 tumover lower than Ihe Industry standard. Whilst It 1$ Important lo recognise that throughout 2021
we saw our staffing numbers dropping month by month due lo care staff leaving, the management team worked
tlreles81y and a8 a result Tecruilment did not hatt allogelher. We V￿re d&llghted to welcome thirty five new and
8190 relurnln9 people into the leom over the cour88 olthe year.
One posltlve outcom• of the pandemic continues lo be ilronger, collaborative working rel8llon•hipJ vAth our
re8idenl8' f8milie5. Thank8 to the wonder8 01 modem technology, we were able lo hc4d two vlrtual Farnlty

2021 ha8 been a year of reflectlon in relallon to equty, dlversity and Induslon {EDI). 8agad in Kent and East
Su858x, our teams are perhaps not as dlverse as th08e ba8ed in London, but we have been looking al how we
are able lo attract 4nd welcome all to our Martha community. This has seen us lake a new approach,
considering the p055ibility of adjustments and adaptions al inlerviow and going on to 8UPPOrt people ￿thIn our
teams who may have otherwise struggled. The employment of a young gentleman ￿ a leaming dlsability In
Mary House who has been Supported by hiy lob coach 85 part of an extern81 scheme. has been a real succeiy
Story and Bhown wh81 we can achieve vthen we open our8elve8 up lo the po86ibilille8 antl challenge ourselves
on how work, make declslons and develop new idea8. He has proved lo be 4 popular •nd effective member
ofthe team. who brings joy lo the shifts, not lust a tidt in a box for EDI.
We continued lo challenge funding authorilles for appropriate fee levels to meet the needs of residents. Whi181
we had some Successes thi6 was offset by rising costs. 8pecifically related to the increase in the minimum wage.
The latter part of 202168w unusually high inflation, putting additional Pressure on the management ol Martha's

CEO, Julie Gayler. vkno has the full backing and tfust of the Board of Trustees. Julie joined Martha Trust in 2009
and developed the current values, mission and vision of Martha. I have every faith that under her leadership and
example, Martha will contlnue to grow from strength lo strength.

Clear and regular comrnunication with our staff remains a vital way of ensuring people feel connected and
valued. Email has ¢onb"nued lo be the best fomi of sharing changes and updatès Ic guidance, and to share good
news wth everyone. House meetings have been held, and the opportunity for people lo join by zoom
encouraged lo improve attendance. The lifting of reslriclion3 led lo more opportunities for management teams lo
be more visible in the homes wlthout putting anyone 8t rl8k, and Head Office team8 held a team building day at
Dèal in the autumn in vthich the surrounding gardens were lidled and plants added to create more colour and
Interest. Further team bullding days wll be held at both sites next year following the success of thi5 inltlal trial and
the positive irnpacts 8een.
Thls year. the staff queslonnaire way split into v￿th the Standard questsons beln9 asked and a 8eparale
questionnaire requesting feedb8ck on the organisational response to Covid-19 and how staff felt terms of
8UPPOrt and guidance. Overall the response was very pe3itive wlh an increase across the organi5alion of
employees feellng that Martha Is a good place lo wort¢, that they can trust their manager and that Martha Ireal$

Work contlnued on Ihe re.implemenlallon of the Care Certific•le. Following feedback from employee8
prevlously com￿eted this training, we worked wth our tNsled tralning company to write a face lo face Care
Certificate programme tailored more towards 5UPPOrting Leaning Dl8abilily in a carè setting. Skllls for Care have
provlded modules to enable ihe Care Certrficale lo a￿9MmOdate various settings, rather than only focusing on
elderly care. On both sites, a member of the management team attended the Iralning lo enable them to act as an
asBe88or for Martha, signlng off written elements as well as obseNallons.
In eady 2022 the 8es5igns wlll start wlh the plan being lo split the Care Certificate Into tsvo manageable
sesslons. A full day ol face to face training will take trainees through the first half of the wothbook with people
then having a minimurn of a monu) to complete the written work and observations. The gecond session will
complete the SLbPPOrted leamlng and trainees wll have a ftjrther elght weeks to gel their workbook8 slgned off.
Asse350rs wll sign off workbooks and issue cerbficales upon completion.
The Deal sile has trialled a new approach to suppoiting employees through their NVQS. A new provtder with
spe¢ialisl knowledge of the client group was found, and an assessor wbth a nursing background in leaming
disabilities allocated to Martha Trust. Rather than rety on managers to put forward those who had expressed an

. K•y flnanclal perfonn•nc• Indicato
Although Martha Tru3t had another challenglng year du8 to Covid.19, ils flngncial perfornidnce 2021 wa5
further Significant improvement on the prior years. Total Incorne was £8.35 million12020.' £5.71 mllllonl and
the Surplus was £498,830 12020.. £273,939>. A large part of this improvement was due to Increases in fee
incomg, %thich ig unllkely to be repealed in 2022. Room occupancy increased to 98.6% comparod lo 97.6% in
2020. There were no vacancles at the end 012021 ahhough one dSd arise in January 2022.
We were pleased to conclude several fee negouations that had been ongoing for Jome time, re8ulllng In one-off
ncrea¥es. Martha Trust conlinuey to experience the impact of the erosion of ￿81 term8 f•e valu•s overall bul
for 2020 and for 2021, unlike recent prior ye8rs, funding aulhorllies awarded increases lor co81 infl81ion alihough
Some were below the general level of Inflatson. We wlll continue lo challenge funding authorities where fees have
not kept pace wlh inflation and also ensure Ih81 we frequently r?￿eW the Ghange In needB of exlstlng and new
resldents to confimi they are fully funded.
Covid had a 51gnificanl impact on our finances In 2021. We lost £223k In prolected income from events, regplte
and day care. In addition, our èxpenditure increased by an addltlonal £41k on PPE alone and th9￿ were many
MO￿ addilionol ￿513 becauge of Covid that we are not able lo quants'fy- However, we were fortunate lo receive
£142k In grants and additional Covid fee5 from our local aulhorltles and £35k from the Government for ludough
to help u5 through this dlfficull year.
Over the last fivo year•, the mlnimum wage for over 21 year olds had risen 18.8%. from £7.50 per hour lo £8.91
per hour. As gn example, the fees frorn one of our main funding authority had only increased by 12.17% during
the same pefiod. Minimum wage iy set to rise further lo £9.$0 in April 2022. The mismatch between increase in
minimum wage and inflat4onary fee increa8e8 creates a slgnlficanl gap in funding because 8pproximalely 70% of
our costs are staff costs. In addition. the inflationary preSS￿re3 in the wider economy in 2022 are expected lo be
exceptionally high, driving all of our other cost up by a percentage we currently cannot quantty.
Marketing of care servlces 15 81111 generating new care enquiries. We have further built on relationships wth
stakeholder authodlie8 that resulted from marketing activity In recent years and we continue to engage wlth local
funding authoritie5 to enhance relationships them. We now have a doser workn'ng relationship wilh
authorilies in StJ$sex and we continue to work them lo a greater extent than had been the case several
year8 ago In re8pect of Mary House, Hagting$.
Overall the level Df new care enquiries in 2021 has been high. This is partty due to our profile being Tai¥ed
through marketing and partty due lo a Sustsined and particularly high level of demand in a b.me of shrinking
servi¢e provision In South East England.
We have a continuing system of expendrture monilorfng and control and a rigorous budgeting proce38. We
negotiate wlh existing supplier5 as well as potenlial new suppliers in order to source goods and setNices at the
best possible price. Although there continue to be increases in costs due lo operational needs we have achieved
effiuenrAes across the oryanisation wth only slight increase in lolal cost.

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Martha Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Martha Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **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.

**Martha Trust** 

**(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Martha Trust (continued)** 

## **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: 

- the information given in the Trustees' report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. 

- the Trustees' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **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 including the Strategic 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: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **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. 

Page 19 



**Martha Trust** 

**(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Martha Trust (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: 

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and industry, and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to safeguarding, health and safety, Care Quality Commission inspection reports and fundraising practices and employment law. We considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety, Care Quality Commission inspection reports and fundraising practices) and fraud; and 

- Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and 

- Performing analytical procedures to any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and 

- Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and 

- Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Page 20 



**Martha Trust** 

**(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Martha Trust (continued)** 

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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control. 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees. 

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

## **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.

2.15 Judg•m•nt• In applying accounting pollclos and key *ourc•$ of ostlmatlon uncgrtalnty
The weparallon of the flnancial statemen18 required the Trustees to make judgements, estimates
and assumptlons th81 can affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, and the results from
the year. The nature of eslimauon is Such though that actual outcomes could differ ¥lgnificandy trom
those eth'males.
The followng ludgemenl h98 had the most slgnificanl impact on the amount5 recognised in the
nancial statements..
The ¢h8rity ha8 recognised tsngible fix8d a88el8 with a carrylng value of £4,908,387 al the reporting
dale (see note 111. These assets are slated al their cost leys provision for depreciation and
lrnpaimient. The charity's accounting policy Sets out the approach lo calculating depreualion for
Immaterial assets acqulred Isee note 2.81. For m8lerS01 a8sels Such as land and buildings the charity
determines at acquisition reliable eslimales for the usefvl Ilfe of thè a$Bet. 115 r85idual value and

acquired 388el and market condbllons. Al subsequent reporting dales the Trustees consider vthelher
there are any factorg such as technological advancemenlg or chan98$ In market condltron¥ that
Indicate a need to reconsider the e$limales uigd.
Where there gr• Indlcator8 that the Car￿ng value of tsngible a88et& may be Impaired the charity
undertakes le818 lo determlne the recoverable amount of a88et8. The8e les13 requlre estimates of the
fair value of assets le$$ c08110 gell and of their value in use. Whorever pos8lble the estimate ol the
fair value of asset3 1$ b8>ed upon observable market prices le88 incremental Gosl for disposing of the
ssel. The value In use calculation 1$ based upon a discounted cash Ilow model, based upon the
charity8 forecasts for the foregeeable future which do nol include any restruclurfng 8¢tlvrties that the
charily is not yel committed to or significant future Inveslmenl8 that wlll enhance the agset's
performance. The recoverable amount 18 most sensibve lo the discount rale used for the di$counted
eash flow model as well expected lubJ￿ cash flows and the grovth rate used for extrapolation
purpo8e8.
2.16 Fln•n¢• l•a¥•• and hlr• purcha
A58et¥ obtained under hlre purchase contracts and finance leases are c8pllall$ed 89 tangible fixed
