JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
for the year ended 31 March 2025
This year norrnal business has continued in the Home. Room occupancy has ranged from
28 to 33 residents representing an occupancy rate of 91,19 against a budget set for 28.
The Board and Home Manager have concentrated on continuing to improve the facilities and
catch up with much needed redecoration. The merging of six smaller rooms into three to
provide more spacious accommodation with modern bathroom facilities has been completed.
Improvements in fire precautions on the second floor have enabled the room there to be
occupied. This was all funded within our remit as a not-for-profit charity.
Residents remain generaiiy well. happy and in good spirits enjoying the social activities that the
Home provides,
There were six deaths from natural causes during the year and two residents had to be
moved for nursing care.
The Closed-circuit Television system has again been upgraded to further enhance Home
security.
The continued increase in costs, notably energy and food, has been of great concern. In
addition, we have increased staff pay to remain ahead of the rise in the National Living
Wage. Our budget for 2025126 has also to accommodate the significant rise in National
Insurance which took place in April. We have had no option but to increase room rates by a
very moderate 5Q/o. We have however advised that a mid-year review may be needed.
During the year the Board reviewed the Charity Commissions checklist for internal financial
controls and have met the standards therein, This exercise prompted revision of the Home's
banking and financial policies which have been updated and are being reviewed at least
once each year,
Job's Close continues to maintain Its fine reputation as a home from home. Our Home
Manager, Eileen Carlton, has ensured that all policies and procedures are up to date and
ompliant in accordance with the requirernents of the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
I should like to thank..
a) All the staff for continuing to provide directly or indi rectly a high and consistent level
of care to our residents.
b) My fellow Trustee Directors for their commitment, goodwill and expert advice as we
continue to work towards achieving our plans for the Home.
c} The residents, their friends and relatives for their support for the Home over the year.

Risk Management
The Trustees review the major operational and strategic risks to which the home is exposed
on an ongoing basis and are satisfied that systems and controls are in place to minimi5e
exposure to such risk as may exist. Financial forecasting and the preparation of monthly
management accounts ensure the provision of adequate funding for the home's operations
and internal control procedures ensure the proper authorisation of all major items of
expenditure. Managers and Trustees regularly monitor potential threats to future income
levels and costs against agreed budget levels. Procedures are also in plats to ensurÈ as far
as possible the health and safety of residents, staff, volunteers and visitors to the home.
Following the guidance from the Charities CDmmission, the Trustees have classified risks
into five areas.. governance, operational, financial, environmental and compliance (law or
regulation). The Trustees consider that the major risks facing the home remain the loss of
the building or a significant part of it, loss of CQC registration, loss of reputation and loss of
funds. whether through internal fraud, mismanagement or external factors.
A disaster recovery plan is in place including alternative accommodation. The Home
Manager undertakes monthly audits to ensure procedures are being followed and up to date.
Trustees review the CQC inspection reports at Board meetings and ensure any
correctionslactions are implemented. All staff receive mandatory and other training through
the regular supervisionlappraisal process. There is a clear complaints procedure if any issue
cannot be resolved informally. Trustees review the management accounts at every Board
meeting. Authorisation procedures are in place and service contracts are regularly revigwed
to ensure the home continues to obtain value for money. The Trustees aim to maintain a
reserves level equivalent to at least three months operating costs to ensure that, in the event
of a significant drop in funding, the home's current activities will be able to continue while
consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. All appropriate
insurance policies are in p12ce and their adequacy reviewed on an annual basis,
Objects and AGtivities of the Charlty
The principal activity of the company continues to be the provision of residential care to the
residents of Job's Close in Knowle.

reserves level equivalenl to at least three months operating costs. The Trustees consider
that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they
will be able to contin ue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in
which additional funds may be raised. The unrestricted funds as at 31 March 2025 are in
line wlth the preferred level as set out in the reserves policy.
Future Plans
The trustees will monitor the availability of funds with the intention of making further
improvements in due course.

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JOB'S CLOSE
RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLEY
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
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 InStan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regLtlations. We
design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detett rnaterlal
misstatements in respett of irregularities, including fraud.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of the trustees,
to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws
and ￿gUlationS and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
In identlfying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities,
including fraud, we have:
obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal
and regulatory framework that the company operates In and how the company is
cornplying with the legal and regulatory framework,. and
inqulred of management, and those charged with governance, about their own
identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual,
suspected of alleged instances of fraud,
As a result of these procedures, we consider the most significant laws and regulations that
have a direct impact on the financial statements are the Charities SORP (FRS 102)'Accounting
and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019),. Financial Fleporting
standard FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland,, the Companies Att 2006 (and related legislation), the Charities Act 2011 (and related
legislation), and laws and regulations relating to the employment and payment of staff
including, but not limited to, the Employment Rights Act 1996, the National Minimum Wage
Att 1998 and the Pensions Att 2008.
We performed audit procedures to detett non-compliances which may have a material impact
on the financial statements, which included reviewing the financial statement disclosures. This
includes sample testing of monthly payroll records for the calculation of gross wages, payroll
taxes and pension costs.
We identified the areas of the financial statements most susceptible to fraud to be
management's judgement in allocating expenditure to individual restrirted and unrestricted
funds, Including the allocation of wage costs and general staff overheads. Audit procedures
performed included, but were not limited to, reviewing management's reasoning and workings
behind these allocations of expenditure,

JOB'S CLOSE RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLY
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JOB'S CLOSE
RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR THE ELDERLEY
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detett all
irregularitie5, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements
or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliantr with a law
or regulation is removed from the events and transattions 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 tha n error, as f raud
involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the

and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP
(FRS 102)
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending
distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion
legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount
expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset
and disclosed.
Fees receivable which represent income from charitable activities are accounted for in the
period in which the service is provided.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as
shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent, Where it is not practicable to
identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy
the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be
measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and
dividend and rent income is reGognised as the charity's right to receive payment IS
established.
Investment income from the investment of the Welfare Fund is designated to cover the
shortfall which arises when a resident's funding from Social Services does not meet the
home's fees.
Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has
entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then
these amounts are deferred.

well as governance costs being costs associated with the constitutional and statutory
req u irements of the charity and include audit fees and costs incurred in the strateg ic

Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent
charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs.
They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include
project management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular
headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable
activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources
The analysis of these costs is included in note 3.
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to
making the asset capable of operating as intended,

less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful
life as follows..

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year
are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in
expenditure.
1.11 Impairment
Assets not measurecl at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be
impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of
the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying
amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an irnpairment10sS IS
recognised in the SOFA unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the
impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
1.12 Em ployee benefits

and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
1.14 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees
believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds
held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these
financial staternents. The budgeted incorne and expenditure is sufficient with the level of
reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
