TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


Chairman’s Report 2021/22

I will begin my report by thanking our staff and colleagues for the continued dedication shown through the challenges of the later stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The times are increasingly uncertain with cost of living spiralling out of control and the war in Ukraine having an impact felt far beyond its borders.

There have been many changes in the last year as we look to move forward and navigate the global challenges ahead of us. In August 2022 we said a fond farewell to our former Company Secretary who had been with the company for 37 years with John Clark, Executive Director taking up the role. With our Finance manager retiring at the end of 2022, this has been a time of real change. We were pleased to create a new role of Head of Finance to enable us to modernise our systems and processes in November 2022.

The Covid-19 pandemic took its toll on the charity’s finances to such an extent that in February 2022 the trustees voted to begin a consultation process to close Cardinal Heenan House in Lancashire. After a rigorous and supportive process for the residents, families, and staff the home was closed in May 2022 with the staff being made redundant. This was a signal shift by the charity as it has slowly withdrawn from care over the last few years seeking a more financially sustainable model to help them maintain their charitable objects. In August 2022 the final care home, Sundial House under the direct management by the charity also began a process of consultation for closure. Similarly, an emphasis on support for the residents, staff and the families has been paramount throughout this process, the home and Horticultural Centre closing in April 2023.

The shift towards housing has seen John Clark begin a renewed emphasis on long term strategies for the charity to ensure full compliance with the Regulator of Social Housing standards but also to be mindful of the wider charity’s mission.

The completion of Mulberry Court in December 2021 was received positively despite the delays caused by the pandemic. Sales are progressing and as I write we have 13 completed sales and exchanged contracts. The charity remains hopeful that this will show a significant profit to reinvest back into the charity.

The planning process for the East Molesey site is as we write progressing well with excellent prospects for improving our stock and long-term increasing our income. More importantly for the charity it will also see a direct increase in the number of people we will be able to house in modern future ready accommodation.

We have also added strength and experience in Social Housing to our board of trustees to enable us to ensure scrutiny and good governance, we are pleased to welcome Olutade Olalekan and Keith Wilson to our board in July 2022 and March 2023.

It has been a challenging and transformative year but as we look to launch our long-term strategy, we are hopeful for the future in what we feel is a key time for the charity to be able to support the most vulnerable.

It is with great sadness that we reflect on the death of Fr John Perrotta on 31[st] May 2023 as a long standing and committed member of the congregation and the charity, his loss will be deeply felt but we remember fondly a lifetime of service and support here and in our sister charity in Dublin.

Fr Joseph Simionato Fr. Jose Simionato FDP Chairman of Trustees

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


The Trustees’ Annual Report contains a Directors’ Report as required by company law. The report and financial statements comply with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102, the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England – “Accounting by Registered Providers of Social Housing” 2019, the Statement of Recommended Practice (the Housing SORP 2018), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act.

Structure, Governance and Management

History of the Charity

The Sons of Divine Providence is a Roman Catholic religious congregation, founded in Italy in 1893. The Congregation takes inspiration from its founder Saint Luigi Orione, whose motto was: "Do good to all, harm nobody". Saint Luigi Orione is remembered for his commitment to social justice and the service of those in need, a service guided and inspired by the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Saint Luigi Orione began his work with orphans and street children in the city of Tortona in north-west Italy while he was still a student. He was a man of enormous energy and enterprise, and by the time of his death in 1940 Saint Luigi Orione and his followers had established services for the care of elderly, disabled and disadvantaged people all over Italy, as well as in Poland, Brazil, Argentina, and Palestine. Today nearly a thousand priests and brothers of the congregation are working in 33 countries around the world providing services for more than 200,000 people in a variety of health and social care projects.

The Sons of Divine Providence came to England in 1949 when Fr. Paul Bidone arrived from Italy. He spoke no English and carried only a tenshilling note and the name of one British contact. However, three years later he had opened his first home, Fatima House in South London, for homeless elderly men.

Orione Care

On the 1st of April 2009, The Sons of Divine Providence adopted “Orione Care” as a working name for the charity. The charity had operated under the same name as the religious congregation for over 50 years, but it was felt by the trustees that the name did not readily convey to the public the type of work carried out by the charity. The name Orione Care allows the charity to develop its own identity whilst retaining the link with the Congregation using the Founder’s name. The charity’s registration numbers at the Charity Commission, Companies House and the Regulator of Social Housing were not affected by the adoption of the working name.

Governing Document

At the time Fatima House was opened, in 1952, the religious Congregation established an unincorporated charitable trust as the vehicle for its work in England (registered charity number 220608).

During 2001/02 the Congregation restructured its affairs and founded a charitable limited company to manage and develop its care and housing services in England (The Sons of Divine Providence, company number 4249759, charity number 1088675, registered social landlord number LH4338). With effect from the 1st of April 2002 the assets, liabilities, and functions of the 1952 trust were transferred to the new charitable company.

The Memorandum and Articles of Association were amended in March 2007 to take account of changes to the structure of the Congregation at an international level. In August 2006 the Congregation in the United Kingdom had joined with confreres in several other countries to form the English-Speaking Missionary Delegation. The amendments to the Articles of Association of the charity principally concerned changes to company membership and the appointment of Trustees, necessitated by the formation of the new Delegation. The sealed Consent of the Housing Corporation to the amendments was granted on the 8th of March 2007.

The current version of the governing document is the Articles of Association of The Sons of Divine Providence as amended by a Special Resolution dated 12 December 2012. This amendment considered the requirements of The Companies Act 2006, it widened the membership to include members of the Congregation from overseas and it reserved some powers to the members in respect of dealings with property, mortgages, and joint venture arrangements.

The Members

The members of the charity are the members of the Congregation who have consented to membership, and who guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. There are two classes of members, the ex-officio members, who are the superior general and superior delegate of the Congregation for as long as they hold their office, and the admitted members, who are admitted by written notice from the ex-officio members for a renewable three-year term.

Recruitment, Appointment and Training of Trustees

The charity is governed by a board of trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law. There are two classes of trustee: Congregation Trustees and Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees comprises a minimum of three and a maximum of nine trustees. Not more than two thirds can be Congregation Trustees. The trustees who served during the year and to the date of signing the accounts are shown on the information page.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


As a religious charity it is appropriate that members of the religious congregation are involved in the governance of the charity. Most of the trustees are therefore members of the religious congregation. These are people who have made a life-long commitment to the values of the charity and have great knowledge of its history, works and mission.

The Congregation Trustees are joined on the Board by Independent Trustees. These are not members of the Congregation but are sympathetic to its work and values and bring an objective perspective. Fr. Stephen Beale, Fr. John Perrotta and Fr. Philip Kehoe have all served more than nine years on the board of trustees. This is deemed to be appropriate because they continue to be senior members of The Sons of Divine Providence religious congregation in the UK. It is with great sadness that we advise that Fr John Perrotta passed away in May 2023 after many years of service to the congregation and charity.

Fr. Philip Kehoe stood down as Chairman of the Board of Trustees on the 29th of June 2021. He remains a trustee, but he has been succeeded as Chairman by Fr. Jose Simionato. John Clark the Executive Director was appointed in January 2022 reports into Fr. Joseph Simionato.

All the trustees are appointed by the members of the charity and have so far been recruited by word of mouth. Prospective trustees are provided with a copy of the Governing Document and guidance on the duties of charity trustees and company directors published by the Charity Commission and Companies House. Independent Trustees normally attend several meetings as observers before being appointed. This enables them to get to know the other trustees and key members of staff. Congregation Trustees will already have a good knowledge of the charity and its operations because they are professed members of the Congregation.

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity, save that the constitution permits the charity to provide accommodation and living expenses to those trustees who are members of the Congregation. None of the trustees receive payment for their work as trustees.

Organisational Structure and Decision Making

A senior management team, comprising the Executive Director, Head of housing and operations, the Finance Manager and the Company Secretary, manage the day-to-day operations of the charity and report to the board of trustees. These officers submit regular written and verbal reports to meetings of the board of trustees. Since the retirement of the Company Secretary and Finance manager in 2022 the senior management team is now, an Executive Director, Head of Housing and Operations and a Head of Finance.

During the year 2020/21 the trustees undertook a review of head office staffing, aided by an external consultant. The trustees accepted the consultant’s recommendation that an executive director should be appointed to lead the organisation. Recruitment took place during the second half of 2021, and the successful candidate took up his post in January 2022. This structure has evolved over 2022 and early 2023 to reflect the retirement of several key personnel.

Planning meetings involving senior staff and unit managers are held towards the end of each year. Unit managers are encouraged to consult their staff and service users prior to the planning meetings. From these meetings a draft budget and annual plan is formulated. The budget is put before the trustees in March, and once approved, forms the basis for the major decisions for the coming year. Significant proposed deviations from the plan or expenditure outside of the budget are referred to the chairman of trustees for approval and reported to the full board of trustees at the next meeting.

Pay and Remuneration

The pay of all the charity’s employees, including key management personnel, is considered by the trustees at their March meeting along with the budget, and any increases in pay are approved by the full board of trustees.

The charity operates two defined contribution pension schemes. In the older scheme the charity contributes an amount equal to 5% of gross salary if the employee contributes a minimum of 3%. For staff who have commenced employment since 2014 the charity provides an autoenrolment scheme, where the charity contributes 3% of gross salary and the employee a minimum of 5%. Key management personnel are members of one of these schemes or have opted out. There are no enhanced or special terms applicable for key management personnel.

Relationships between the Charity and Related Parties

The Congregation Trustees are members of the Congregation of The Little Work of Divine Providence (known in England as The Sons of Divine Providence). The Congregation is a religious congregation established under Canon Law as set out in the Constitution and Norms promulgated by the General Curia in Rome in 1988. The Congregation Trustees consider themselves bound to follow the Congregation’s rule of life and abide by its constitution.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


The Congregation has established charitable organisations in other countries where it works; the English charity has provided support and funding to these charities.

Wholly Owned Subsidiary Trading Companies.

The trustees have established two wholly owned subsidiary trading companies:

To take forward the project to re-develop Orione House the trustees established a wholly owned subsidiary trading company called The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd (company number 11393450). This company was incorporated on the 1st of June 2018. There were two directors of The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd: Fr. Jose Simionato and Fr. Philip Kehoe during the reporting period, who are also members of the board of charity trustees. On 4 July 2022 Mr John Clark was appointed a director.

To take forward the proposed redevelopment of the charity’s site and services in East Molesey the trustees established a wholly owned subsidiary trading company called SDP Ventures Ltd (company number 11862222). This company was incorporated on the 5th of March 2019. There are three directors of SDP Ventures Ltd: Fr. Jose Simionato, Fr. Philip Kehoe and Mr John Clark (who was appointed on 4 July 2022) of whom Fr. Jose Simionato and Fr. Philip Kehoe are also members of the board of charity trustees. This company is currently dormant.

Both subsidiary trading companies are registered at 13 Lower Teddington Road, Hampton Wick, Kingston upon Thames, which is the head office of the charity. The active trading company uses some of the charity’s resources, including staff time. The use of the charity’s resources by the subsidiary company is governed by resource sharing agreements which are in place to ensure that the charity is properly compensated for the use of its resources by the subsidiary company.

Related Party Transactions

On the 4th of October 2018 the Orione House care home site and the adjacent 29 Lower Teddington Road, both in Hampton Wick, were transferred from the charity to the subsidiary trading company, The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd (company number 11393450). The purchase price was determined by a valuation of the property provided to the trustees in a Qualified Surveyor’s Report by Cushman & Wakefield in accordance with The Charities Act 2011 and The Charities (Qualified Surveyor’s Reports) Regulations 1992. The transfer was authorised by an Order from the Charity Commission dated the 28th of September 2018.

The subsidiary trading company used the property as security to raise a loan, some of which was used to pay the charity a part of the purchase price and some of which was used for the first phase of the redevelopment of the site. The subsidiary trading company has granted the charity a second charge over the property. When the property has been redeveloped the subsidiary trading company will pay the charity the remainder of the purchase price, plus interest, and any surplus made on the leasehold sales of apartments on the site. The subsidiary also intends to transfer the freehold of the property back to the charity.

A further small piece of land was transferred from the charity to the subsidiary trading company to accommodate the footprint of the new building, known as Mulberry Court. This was authorised by an Order from the Charity Commission dated the 16th of December 2019.

On the 1st of December 2021 the ground floor of 25 Lower Teddington Road was leased by the charity to the subsidiary trading company to serve as the main entrance and reception area for Mulberry Court. This was authorised by an Order from the Charity Commission dated the 26th of November 2021.

The trading subsidiary is a “connected person” as defined in section 118 of the Charities Act 2011, so authorisation for the disposals of property, by the charity, to the subsidiary company, was required from The Charity Commission.

Directors’ Strategic Report

Objectives and Activities

The Purposes of the Charity as set out in the Governing Document are:

To advance the Roman Catholic faith by exclusively charitable means and in particular to sanctify all members of the Congregation through the observance of the three simple vows of Obedience, Chastity, and Poverty and the Constitutions of the Congregation. To relieve poverty, sickness, disability and distress, as a way of giving practical expression to the Roman Catholic faith, by providing care, housing, respite and day services to:

The Main Activities of the Charity

The main activities of the charity in relation to its charitable purposes during the year were running Catholic parishes in the UK, providing one care home for older people, two care homes for people with learning disabilities, 19 housing units designated for supported living and 52 units of independent general needs social housing. The charity also provides financial support to the Congregation's missions in Kenya and India, and financial sponsorship to young people in developing countries through its “Bread of Life” programme.

Safeguarding of Adults at Risk

The trustees confirm that policies are in place to ensure high standards of protection of all vulnerable adults who use the services provided by the charity. These include the use of Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on all prospective staff that are likely to be involved in a regulated activity. The charity’s Safeguarding Policy is reviewed regularly and was last reviewed in December 2021.

The Catholic Church in England and Wales set up the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) and the Religious Life Safeguarding Service (RLSS). This followed the Elliott Review into how to improve safeguarding structures and procedures in the Catholic Church. As a Catholic religious charity, the trustees are committed to implementing any changes which might be required by the CSSA and RLSS. The trustees have signed a letter of intent to join the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency with effect from the 1st of July 2021 and have resolved to abide by its terms of membership.

Use of Volunteers

Individual services benefit greatly from a small number of dedicated and loyal volunteers. There are also "friends" attached to some services who help with fund-raising activities and social events. Individual service users may have their own voluntary advocates. All volunteers who are involved in a regulated activity undergo Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and reference checks.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


Public Benefit Statement

The trustees have a duty to report on how the activities of the charity deliver public benefit. The sections of this Report entitled “Objectives and Activities” and “Achievements and Performance” set out the charity’s objectives and report on the activity and successes in the year to the 31st of March 2022. The section entitled “Plans for the Future” explains the plans for the current financial year and beyond. The work of Orione Care benefits people who are elderly, people who are disabled and people in housing need. The trustees have considered this matter and have concluded:

  1. that the aims of the organisation continue to be charitable.

  2. that the aims and the work done give identifiable benefits to individuals in need.

  3. that the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way; and

  4. that there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities.

Achievements and Performance

The Charity’s activities during the year were:

  1. Providing financial support for the Congregation's overseas missions and international projects.

  2. Providing spiritual and pastoral services to people in England.

  3. Providing good quality social care and housing services.

  4. Improving the quality of the charity's housing and care services.

  5. Developing the staff who work in the charity's services.

The Charity’s achievements and performance in relation to the above activities were:

  1. Financial Support to the Congregation's Overseas Missions and International Projects.

  2. £29,118 was provided to support the Congregation's missions and overseas projects including “The Bread of Life”.

The amount of money that the charity has been able to provide to the overseas missions has declined in recent years, but the trustees would like to increase this when funds allow.

2. Spiritual and Pastoral Services in England

3. Providing Care Homes, Housing, and a Day Centre

4. Improving the Quality of Housing and Care Services

5. Developing the Staff who Work in the Charity's Services

Complaints

There were two complaints regarding care at Cardinal Heenan House, these were investigated and responded to with any necessary actions taken to remedy and improve processes.

Internal Controls

The charity operates an annual financial planning and budgeting process. The draft budget is prepared by the senior staff team and submitted to the March trustees’ meeting for amendment or approval. Written management financial statements, reporting actual performance against budget, are presented through the financial year at trustees’ meetings. All major risks to the charity, including cash flow, are continuously monitored by the senior staff team and risk mitigations are developed as necessary.

Financial Review

The events which affect the accounts for the year to March 2021 continues to affect the accounts for the year to March 2022:

In addition, the following events have also affected the accounts for the year to March 2022:

We were unable to change the status of St John’s from resident to supported living accommodation as planned in previous year. Hence, the operation at St John’s continued to be running at a loss as rent received was inadequate to cover the maintenance cost of the property. However, we are expecting improvement in the coming months as the vacancies at St John’s are gradually being filled and we are exploring options for the building in the long-term future.

The sales of Mulberry Court were slower than originally expected due to the rise in interest rate as well as the slowing down of the economy in UK. Only 6 out of 28 completed apartments were sold in the year to March 2022 and further 7 sales and 3 reservations received. This has greatly increased the finance cost for the development and in turn put extra stress on the finance of the Charity. While the delays are disappointing the trustees remain confident of clearing the debts and gaining a significant cash influx once the sales are completed.

The events outlined above have had considerable impact on the year end results as can be seen on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The total operating income for the year to March 2022 is £8,669,281 of which £6,941,462 is from the sales of apartments in Mulberry Court. After that, all other income is £1,727,819 as compared with the total for March 2021 of £1,752,566.

The total operating expenditure for the year to March 2022 is increased to £8,103,527 from the total of £2,241,003 for the year to March 2021. Of this, £5,478,827 is the related cost of sales of the apartments in Mulberry Court that were sold leaving £2,624,700 which includes redundancy payments for the closure of Cardinal Heenan House of £193,450.

The result of the above was that the surplus before taxation for the year to March 2022 was £469,536 compared with the operating deficit of the previous year to March 2021 of £488,433.

The Consolidated and Charity Statement of Financial Position shows both the Group position (which includes both the Charity and the Development Company) and the Charity only position as of 31 March 2022 compared with these positions as at 31 March 2021.

Reserves Policy

The trustees believe that reserves are required to ensure the continued operation of the charity's care and housing activities. These activities are funded primarily by rental income from tenants, and fees received from local authorities and others under community care arrangements. This income has been relatively secure due to contracts and tenancy agreements in place, although the level of fee income has declined due to reduced care home occupancy. It is the trustees' policy to have freely available funds which equate to about three months' expenditure, which is about £570,000. Total reserves are currently £5,869,225 of which free reserves are £521,807.

Currently reserves are below the expected level and the trustees are taking steps to build up the charity’s reserves to this level by developing property for sale through its trading subsidiary company, The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd. The designated funds represent the net book value of fixed assets used for charitable purposes net of any associated loan finance and the fair value of the investment property. The trustees have also instructed the management team in their new strategy of September 2022 to develop long term sources of income and focus on the sustainability of services.

Investments

The charity has a small amount invested in equities. The charity also has some residential property which is viewed as an investment. This property is let to tenants on the open market at market rents in order to generate income for the charity.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


Fundraising

The principal sources of funding have been:

No fundraisers have been employed and no fundraising targets were set. A small number of properties are let at market rents to generate funds for the charity. We also make appeals in the Catholic press and our own quarterly magazine "The Bridge". Due to the Covid restrictions and working from home there were no fundraising events during the year and “The Bridge” magazine was reduced to three publications. This resulted in a reduction of fundraising costs for the year from £2,891 to £1,827, while donations and grants received reduced from £214,303 to £182,498, including government Covid-related grants. The charity is registered with The Fundraising Regulator and subscribes to its code of practice.

Risk Management

A risk register is in place setting out the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the systems in place to mitigate these risks.

This was reviewed by the trustees most recently at their meeting in September 2022. In addition, the trustees regularly review the cash flow forecast at their meetings.

The major risks identified are:

The trustees consider that there are policies, procedures, and monitoring systems in place to control the risks identified, and to reduce them to a manageable level. The charity has also purchased insurance policies to mitigate most losses, and these are reviewed annually with the charity’s insurance broker.

The charity’s subsidiary trading company, The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd, has borrowed money to complete the redevelopment of the Orione House site. The potential risks to the charity are that the work does not proceed to completion, or that costs exceed the budget or sales revenue are less than expected, putting at risk the charity’s investment in the project. The building was substantially completed in November 2021, and sales began to complete in December 2021. At the end of March 2022 seven sales had completed and as at the date these accounts are signed, 13 sales had completed. The trustees are confident that further sales will follow in line with professional valuations.

The Coronavirus pandemic

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to present risks to health and life of our service users and staff. The pandemic led to a financial risk because it affected occupancy of Cardinal Heenan House, leading to reduced income and strain on cash flow. This led to the decision to close the home the process for which commenced in February 2022 and resulted in the home being closed in May 2022.

To mitigate the risks of the pandemic we have followed government guidance on Covid-secure workplaces, personal protective equipment and working from home where possible. The financial risks were mitigated by taking advantage of government help from the Job Retention Scheme and local authority grants and national infection control grants. The charity also received a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan of £420,000 in a previous year.

Plans for the Future

The re-development of the Orione House site by the charity’s wholly owned subsidiary trading company, The Sons of Divine Providence Developments Ltd, was completed with 26 of the 28 apartments ready for sale and the final flats finished in March 2022. The trustees intend to complete the project by developing 29 and 27 Lower Teddington Road for sale in 2023. This was progressed and the works are due to complete September 2023.

The charity has progressed its plans to develop the Molesey site and is expecting planning to be granted in July 2023. When funds allow, the trustees intend to increase their funding of the Congregation’s overseas missions. Funding of the overseas missions has been scaled back in recent years due to financial constraints. In September 2022 the Trustees laid out the framework for the long-term plans and strategy of the charity broken down over the next 3 years with aims beyond this for managed growth of the charity’s delivery. This strategy was broken down into 3 stages beginning with the ‘Stabilise’ phase. Given the ongoing challenges to the charity in June 2023 the Trustees elected to extend this stabilise phase until 2025 to focus on core activities and general compliance.

Going concern

The Group made a surplus for the year before tax of £470k (2021: deficit of £488k); of this surplus, £1.5m arose on sales from the subsidiary’s property development. Thus, the parent charity made a deficit of £993k excluding the provision for intercompany loans of £2.85m (2021: deficit of £188k). The Covid-19 pandemic adversely affected the occupancy of Cardinal Heenan House residential care home with occupancy of approximately 60% throughout the financial year, leading to a large shortfall in income. The home was closed following consultation in May 2022 and the results for the year include provision for redundancy of £193k. At the year end the Group had net assets of £5.9m (2021: £5.5m) and the parent charity had net assets of £7.2m (2021: £10.9m). The parent company and subsidiary both have loan finance in place; the total of the external loan financing owed by the parent charity at the year end was £3.4m (2021: £420k) and by the subsidiary at the year-end was £13.7m (2021: £13.0m).

Since the year end, both the parent charity and subsidiary have entered into refinancing arrangements as follows:

Parent - The repayment date for the Molesey Senior loan of £3.2m as at 31 March 2022 was extended from 5 October 2022 firstly to 5 April 2023 and then to 5 July 2023 and then again to 5 August 2023; at the date the accounts are signed, the balance is £4m. The parent charity is currently investigating alternative financing options as the current lender does not wish to further extend the loan although they do not anticipate demanding immediate repayment on that date. Alternative arrangements are reasonably well advanced for £3.1m of the required replacement funding and discussions are underway for the remaining funding requirement of £0.9m. The existing loans are secured on properties with a potential value in excess of the loans.

A new loan was entered into in August 2022 with United Trust Bank for £2.1m with £1.6m drawn down and a balance outstanding at the date these accounts are signed of £1.5m; the repayment date is February 2024. This loan is to be settled through the sale of properties held within the subsidiary.

A further new loan was entered into in April 2022 with Charity Bank with a repayment date of April 2025 secured on the parent’s investment property. The balance at the date these accounts are signed is £0.9m.

The final loan within the parent is a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan which had an outstanding balance of £280k at 31 March 2022. Post year end, the settlement date was extended and this is now to be settled in equal monthly instalments of £70k from September 2023. Subsidiary - The repayment date for the loans of £13.7m as at 31 March 2022 was extended from March 2023 to the end of July 2023; as at the date these accounts are signed, £9.8m remained outstanding. The directors of the subsidiary company remain confident of being able to refinance its loans with the current loan providers, which is reflected in the company's ongoing long term relationship with them, or finding alternative sources of finance. The loans are secured on properties with a potential value in excess of the loans.

The parent company and the subsidiary therefore remain confident of being able to refinance and thus repay all of its debts in a timely manner. They recognise that the challenges of the pandemic and subsequent global events have had a significant impact on the pace of sales completion at Mulberry Court, the major development project which has been financed by the subsidiary company loans. Interest in the properties at Mulberry Court remains positive and the sales continue to progress with 7 sales completed as at 31 March 2022 with revenue of £6.9m with a further 6 sales with revenue of £5.7m completed as at the date these accounts are signed. A further 15 properties remain to be sold in Providence House (part of Mulberry Court) with expected revenue in the region of £12m; it is anticipated that these properties will be sold over the next 18 months from the date these accounts are signed. The proceeds of sales are being utilised to settle the subsidiary’s loans. In addition, the Parent Charity is expecting to sell certain other property and realise other capital sums over the next six months to enable it to continue to finance its day-to-day operations whilst it brings about the changes required to stabilise its business.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022


The group is in ongoing discussion with its lenders and are reasonably confident that the group and parent loans will either be refinanced with existing lenders or alternative sources of finance will be found. They are also satisfied that they have sufficient plans in place to manage their day-to-day cashflow needs through realisation of surplus assets and receipt of other one off items. The trustees accept that the nature of the position on refinancing and their cash flow requirements suggests that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt upon the ability of the group and parent company to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group and parent charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and thus consider it appropriate to continue adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Asset Cover for Funds

Note 27 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on a fund-by-fund basis.

Disclosure of Information to Auditors

Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

Auditors

A resolution proposing that, HW Fisher LLP, be re-appointed as auditors they be re-appointed will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

The Report of the Board of Trustees and the Strategic Report are approved on behalf of the Board of Trustees.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and group and of the surplus or deficit of the company and group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s and group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

12

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Sons of Divine Providence (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated and charity statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, 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).

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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.

Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements which indicates that the group is reliant on support of its external lenders. The parent charity is in the process of seeking alternative financing for one of its loans which is due to be repaid in early August 2023 as the current lender does not wish to extend its loan although the lender does not anticipate demanding immediate repayment. The trading subsidiary is currently renegotiating both its loans with its external lender which are due for repayment at the end of July 2023. Whilst the group is optimistic the loans will be refinanced, this process has not yet been concluded. In addition, the parent charity is expecting to sell certain property assets and realise other capital sums over the next six months from the date these accounts are signed to enable it to continue to finance its day-to-day operations whilst it brings about the changes required to stabilise its business. These events or conditions, along with the other matters as set out in note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors 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 auditor’s 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

13

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charity and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the trustees' report.

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

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 group and parent charity’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.

Auditor's 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 auditor's 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.

As part of our planning process:

14

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the charity.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Sons of Divine Providence is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 13 Lower Teddington Road, Hampton Wick, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, KT1 4EU, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties. The accounts comply with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102, the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England – “Accounting by Registered Providers of Social Housing” 2019, the Statement of Recommended Practice (the Housing SORP 2018), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The Charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

The Group made a surplus for the year before tax of £470k (2021: deficit of £488k); of this surplus, £1.5m arose on sales from the subsidiary’s property development. Thus, the parent charity made a deficit of £993k excluding the provision for intercompany loans of £2.85m (2021: deficit of £188k). The Covid-19 pandemic adversely affected the occupancy of Cardinal Heenan House residential care home with occupancy of approximately 60% throughout the financial year, leading to a large shortfall in income. The home was closed following consultation in May 2022 and the results for the year include provision for redundancy of £193k. At the year end the Group had net assets of £5.9m (2021: £5.5m) and the parent charity had net assets of £7.2m (2021: £10.9m). The parent company and subsidiary both have loan finance in place; the total of the external loan financing owed by the parent charity at the year end was £3.4m (2021: £420k) and by the subsidiary at the year-end was £13.7m (2021: £13.0m).

Since the year end, both the parent charity and subsidiary have entered into refinancing arrangements as follows:

Parent - The repayment date for the Molesey Senior loan of £3.2m as at 31 March 2022 was extended from 5 October 2022 firstly to 5 April 2023 and then to 5 July 2023 and then again to 5 August 2023; at the date the accounts are signed, the balance is £4m. The parent charity is currently investigating alternative financing options as the current lender does not wish to further extend the loan although they do not anticipate demanding immediate repayment on that date. Alternative arrangements are reasonably well advanced for £3.1m of the required replacement funding and discussions are underway for the remaining funding requirement of £0.9m. The existing loans are secured on properties with a potential value in excess of the loans.

A new loan was entered into in August 2022 with United Trust Bank for £2.1m with £1.6m drawn down and a balance outstanding at the date these accounts are signed of £1.5m; the repayment date is February 2024. This loan is to be settled through the sale of properties held within the subsidiary.

A further new loan was entered into in April 2022 with Charity Bank with a repayment date of April 2025 secured on the parent’s investment property. The balance at the date these accounts are signed is £0.9m.

The final loan within the parent is a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan which had an outstanding balance of £280k at 31 March 2022. Post year end, the settlement date was extended and this is now to be settled in equal monthly instalments of £70k from September 2023.

Subsidiary - The repayment date for the loans of £13.7m as at 31 March 2022 was extended from March 2023 to the end of July 2023; as at the date these accounts are signed, £9.8m remained outstanding. The directors of the subsidiary company remain confident of being able to refinance its loans with the current loan providers, which is reflected in the company's ongoing long term relationship with them, or finding alternative sources of finance. The loans are secured on properties with a potential value in excess of the loans.

1.2

Going concern (continued)

The parent company and the subsidiary therefore remain confident of being able to refinance and thus repay all of its debts in a timely manner. They recognise that the challenges of the pandemic and subsequent global events have had a significant impact on the pace of sales completion at Mulberry Court, the major development project which has been financed by the subsidiary company loans. Interest in the properties at Mulberry Court remains positive and the sales continue to progress with 7 sales completed as at 31 March 2022 with revenue of £6.9m with a further 6 sales with revenue of £5.7m completed as at the date these accounts are signed. A further 15 properties remain to be sold in Providence House (part of Mulberry Court) with expected revenue in the region of £12m; it is anticipated that these properties will be sold over the next 18 months from the date these accounts are signed. The proceeds of sales are being utilised to settle the subsidiary’s loans. In addition, the Parent Charity is expecting to sell certain other property and realise other capital sums over the next six months to enable it to continue to finance its day-to-day operations whilst it brings about the changes required to stabilise its business.

The group is in ongoing discussion with its lenders and are reasonably confident that the group and parent loans will either be refinanced with existing lenders or alternative sources of finance will be found. They are also satisfied that they have sufficient plans in place to manage their day-to-day cashflow needs through realisation of surplus assets and receipt of other one off items. The trustees accept that the nature of the position on refinancing and their cash flow requirements suggests that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt upon the ability of the group and parent company to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group and parent charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and thus consider it appropriate to continue adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Rent, services and fees for housing related support are recognised in the period to which they relate. Grants received under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme are recognised in the income statement as part of the operating income over the same period as the costs to which they relate. Grants are accounted for under the accrual method. Donations are recognised when the group is entitled to the income, the receipt is probable, and the amount can be reliably measured.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Revenue from the property sales is recognised when exchange of contracts has taken place. The related cost of sales includes the direct selling costs along with an apportionment of the total construction costs based on the individual property selling price as a proportion of the total selling price of the whole development.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure including redundancy and termination payments is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings.

Cost of raising funds comprises those costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

Expenditure relating to Housing & Care Services, Day Activities, Religious Delegation and Missions are those elements of expenditure directly incurred in performing these activities. It also includes allocated governance costs relating to this activity.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets (including housing properties) are measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings 65 years straight line Fixtures, fittings, and equipment 10% straight line Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.7 Investment properties

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

1.8 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.9 Stock

Stock comprises properties under re-development by the subsidiary company, Sons of Divine Providence Developments Limited. Stock comprises redevelopment costs and capitalised interest. Stock is included at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include only cash in hand.

1.11 Financial instruments

The Group only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.12 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.

24

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued) 1.13 Employee benefits Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 1.14 Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 1.15 Leases Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. The company has signed an agreement to lease the land under its properties for 125 years to a third-party management company in return for an annual rental sum. The amount receivable is calculated by reference to the discounted value of the future rental income stream and recognised as a debtor based on the proportion of properties sold on the site during the year. 1.16 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of The Sons of Divine Providence and its subsidiaries (i.e., the entities that the Group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2022. 1.17 Taxation Current tax is recognised for income tax payable in respect of the taxable surplus for the current reporting period.

1.18 Interest payable Interest is capitalised on borrowings related to the development of qualifying assets, to the extent that it accrues in respect of the period of development if it represents interest on borrowings specifically financing the development after deduction of related grants in advance. 1.19 Investment in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment in the individual financial statements.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The investment property is included at fair value in accordance with an external valuation carried out by a firm of Chartered Surveyors at 31 March 2022. This is based on an open market value basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.

The accounts of the trading subsidiary include a debtor in respect of the discounted value of future rents receivable. The directors have determined the discount rate based on a yield of 3% from evidence of other ground rent sales provided by their valuer Gerald Eve LLP.

Critical judgement

At the year end, the charity was owed £5,696,614 from its subsidiary trading company, in respect of loans made for the development of Mulberry Court and which are repayable from the development proceeds. The trustees have assessed the financial forecasts of the subsidiary company following its completion in December 2021 and have impaired the recoverable amount of the loans by £2,850,000 to £2,846,614.

THE SONS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE (ORIONE CARE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

35 Prior period adjustment

The financial statements include a prior year adjustment to correct errors relating to the depreciation of tangible assets. In previous years, the charity did not depreciate buildings as the charity has an annual maintenance schedule to maintain the residual value of the freehold land & buildings; this is not considered to comply with FRS102.

The net effect is to reduce the overall brought forward reserves by £334,563 (2019: £245,930) from £5,849,248 to £5,514,685 at 1 April 2021 and from £6,249,048 to £6,003,118 at 1 April 2020. Tangible assets for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been restated from £6,047,876 to £5,713,313, a decrease of £334,563. Total expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2021 has therefore been restated from £2,152,370 to £2,241,003, an increase of £88,633.
