CHAIR'S REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Durin9 the financial year 2023 24, the Board of Trustees continued to focus on maintaining the
sustainability and security of Maldon Housing Association Limited IMHA) whilst seeking to improve the
homes of our residents. To this end thorough investigation into the possibility of applying for a loan offered
by the Almshouse Association to organisations under their aegis was undertaken. It is hoped that an
application may be submitted during 2024- 25, with a view to replacing remaining windows at Deed House
and all windows in Fairfield House before internal decorats'on of communal areas in the latter residence to
bring this to the highest standard for our residents.
On behalf of the trustees I thank Rob Keeble, the Supported Housing Manager, Tina Nash, the Facilities
Manager, and Christs'ne Cope, the Finance Manager, for their full comrnilment to the residents of Maldon
Housing Association Limited as they have continued to give to individuals all support required, to maintain
a safe environment and to ensure prudent financial operations. The managers, assisted by the Office
Manager and their own teams, have continued to collaborate in creating a calm, secure, effi'cient operation
that has precluded any need to employ a CEO to oversee daily matters.
Following the transfer of Suzanne Chisholm to the support team, Philippa Harrington took on the role of
Office Manager, assimilating administrative processes in all areas to ensure accuracy of records and
assistance in the areas of work of each manager as required. She fully embraced the ethos of Maldon
Housing Association Limited and took the initiative in running a very successful raffle in conjunction with
the residents, Christmas celebrations, securing the donation of valuable prizes by several local businesses
in Maldon. This was much appreciated by all concerned and hopefully may be continued in future years.
The Board has employed Damian Roche, a consultant from HQN Consultancy, to advise on strategic
matters including changes in Health and Safety legislation, the regulatory changes in social housing and
MHA'S requirements in IT provision. This has been a most successful arrangement enabling trustees to
feel confident that all requirements in governance and the organisation's compliance are addressed in a
timely fashion.
At the end of the financial year, the employment tribunal hearing instigated by the former CEO years
previously, citing grounds of disability discrimination and unfair dismissal, was conducted. Despite Maldon
Housing Association's firm rebuttal of both accusations, the case was settled before judgement in order to
minimize financial outlay, preventing escalation of costs in addition to a substantFal claim.
A strong sense of community lies at the core of Maldon Housing Association Limited. During 2023 - 24,
staff and trustees continued to work together to ensure provision of the best homes possible in a well
maintained, supported environment. As my tenure as Chair of the Board of Trustees draws to a close, I
would like to express my thanks and appreciation to every member of staff and each of my fellow trustees
for their commitment, their time and their strong sense of responsibility towards all the residents.

Structure Govemance and Mana
The Board of Trustees comprises volunteers, encompassing a variety of skills, expertise and experience,
ensuring wide-ranging perspectives. The composition of the Board of Trustees is reviewed regularly to
ensure that a balance of essential skills is maintained. Recwitment of new trustees is undertaken in the
light of identification of further skills or areas of expertise that would be an asset to the Board and the
Association.
ement
New trustees are nominated by existing trustees or are sought through open advertisement. After meeting
the Chair to discuss the work of the Association, a prospective trustee is invited to obseNe a Board meeting
before signing a declaration of eligibilty and formally joining the organisation.
Information given to a new trustee includes a document explaining the responsibilities of the role and the
Association's expectations of its trustees. The induction process comprises a briefing on the finances of
the organisation and on the Memorandum and Articles of Association together with the statutory and legal
responsibilits'es, including the requirements of the Charity Commission and the Regulator of Social Housing,
as well as a tour of the Association's properties.
All trustees have access to training courses as appropriate opportunities arise.
At the AGM the Board of Trustees elects a chair and vice chair as well as accepting the retirement of any
trustee who so wishes or has completed the requisite terms of office. A trustee may se￿e th￿e consecutive
terms of office. However, the Board has the discretion to re-appoint a trustee for a further period not
exceeding one term. The chair and vice chair should hold office for a period not exceeding six years.
The Association adopted the National Housing Federation Code of Governan￿ issued in 2020. The Board
recognises that there is non<ompliance for the year ended 31 March 2024 in respect of bNo specifications:
The National Housing Federation Code of Governance states.. °Maximum tenure will normally be
up to six consecutiv8 years (typically comprising two temls of office), but where a memb8r has
served six years, and the board agrees that it is in the organisation's best interests, their tenure
may be extended up to a maximum of nine years."
The trustees acknowledge the importance of Board renewal. Due to the size of the organisation
and on-going development of the business, the Board of Trustees wishes to retain the option to
allow experienced twstees to continue in office for a further term if that is considered to be
beneficial to the Associats'on.
Therefore Maldon Housing Associats'on's Articles of Association, established in 1966, state..
"A retiring trustee who remains qualified may normally be re-appointed for a maximum of three
consecutive tems of office. However, the trustees have the discretion to re-appoint a trustee
beyond three consecutive terms of offi￿, for a period to be determined by the trustees, but not
exceeding one further term."
The National Housing Federation Code of Governance states: ' The Board has be￿een five and
12 members....

committees that comprise two or more trustees appointed to carry out those particular functions. Each
committee has agreed terms of refe￿nce which indicate clearly the extent of delegated powers., all
proceedings in committee meetings are minuted and recommendations are set befo￿ the Board for

trustee serving as chair of any one committee beyond a period of six years consecutively. A meeting of
residents, chaired by and attended by trustees, is held regularly in each house in tum, enabling residents
to discuss any matters that concern them.

is followed to identify, control and monitor strategic and operational risks. Key areas of risk, as set out in
the current Risk Register, are specified under the headings of'governance and management, operational,,
'financial, environmental and external,, and 'compliance with law and regulation., The Finance Committee

has charitable objects and is registered with the Charity Commission.
The Objecis ofthe charity are"To provide and maintain Almshouses and associated se￿iCeS andamenities

Ob"ectives and Activities
continued
Maldon Housing Association Limited is committed to promoting independent living and empowering
residents to maintain control of their own lives. The aim is to offer a 'home for life., Support staff are on duty
betrween 08.00 and 15.00 Monday to Friday,. a welfare check is made at weekends. Outside these hours
an emergency alarm system is activated. The Association works with a range of professional bodies, such
as Social SeDiices and care agencies, to ensure that care is provided, according to individual needs,
enabling residents to maintain independence for as long as possible.
Regular team meetings are held to ensure a cohesive approach and that best practice is followed as the
Association constantly seeks to evaluate and improve the quality of both the accommodation offered and
seNice provided. To this end, residents are encouraged to participate in discussion. Weekly coffee
momings in the communal lounge of each house afford an opportunity for residents to meet together,
considering any matters pertaining to their well-being or way of life within the organisation.
The Chair of the Board of Trustees is accessible to all residents by telephone (Y email, all having these
contact details. The Chair responds to all communications, meeting with an individual resident if requested,
and discussing any COn￿rn5 with appropriate staff if necessary.
In accordance with the Objects and with the status of Maldon Housing Association under both the
Almshouse Association and the Charity Commission, the trustees have continued to ensure that all
activities are undertaken with focus on the welfare of current residents and with a view to further the
charity's purpose. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit in
reviewing the airns and objectives of the Association and in planning future acts'vities., they have complied
with their duties as set out in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.
The Board is mindful of the need to plan for providing accommodation for future residents in accordance
with the Decent Homes Standard. Work has continued to improve the Association's IT provision, trustees
being aware that future residents will have expectattons of reliable access to advances in technology.
On 31 March 2024, 52% of the residents of Maldon Housing Association were aged 80 or over. Clearly
there is a benefit to the wider community as the supported housing service that the Association has
continued to provide has enabled residents in their later years to INe in a 'home for life. rather than having
recourse to increasingly pressurised NHS facilities.
Achievements and Performance
Trustees were delighted to receive two significant donations for Maldon Housing Association Limited during
the financial year 2023 - 24. The Binder family of Maldon has been involved wrth Maldon Housing
Association Limited since its inception; that interest in the organisation and the well-being of its residents
remains, a substantial cheque having been given to the Association as specified in the will of a family
member. On behalf of the residents, the Board thanks the family for this.
Having submitted a wuest to the Rotary Club of Maldon for a donation to 8SSiSt in funding the improvement
of the laundry facility at Fairfield House, trustees much appreciated the generous allocation of £5,000 to
enable that project to be undertaken. Residents of Fairfield House have benefitted significantly from the
renovation of the laundry room, creating a pleasant environment, together with new, energy effi'cient
equipment.

Achievements and Performance
continued
During 2023 - 24, the Board of Trustees engaged in detailed discussion of the need for funding in order to
enable concentration of reSoUr￿S on Fairfield House to raise the standard of the environment for residents
in that propety. If the specified criteria are met, the Board may apply to the Almshouse Association for a
major interest-free loan to enable replacement of the windows in Fairfield House as these have deteriorated
considerably. Trustees have been concerned to increase energy efficiency through rePla￿rnent of the
aged, ill-fitting windows and subsequently with full redecoration of the communal areas to create a warmer,
more comfortable environment for residents.
In response to public concern about the potential dangers of RAAC found in buildings, trustees consulted
the local architect who for many years had inspected and drawn up plans for several alterations to the
properties of Maldon Housing Association Limited. Insurance policies held by the Association have been
checked to ensure that the buildings are properly covered. Trustees are confident that any risk to residents
from RAAC is minimal.
With regard to administrative systems used by Maldon Housing Association Limited, bwo major changes
were made during 2023 24. Following thorough evaluation of the HR and H+S provision offered by
Citation, under guidance of the Propety Committee the decision was taken not to renew the contract with
Citation but to use the services of Croner, which offered more comprehensive elemenls. This will be kept
under review in 2024- 25.
The Board considered carefully the advantages of installing Fixflo, an IT system that would be used by all
managers and their teams, linking finance, maintenance and support. Indeed several of the main
contractors who work with Maldon Housing Association Limited utilize this system. The managers of
Finance and Facilities strongly advocated adopting the system as it would effectively streamline pro￿sseS
of maintenance and would automatically generate invoices. Clearly there were advantages of the reduction
of administrative workload and a positive move towards a paperless workplace. Furthermore the Board has
a responsibility to prepare the Association for future residents. Thus, although current residents were
perceived to need much help from the support team in reporting maintenance issues through Fixflo, future
residents would increasingly expect to use IT systems. This would give individuals some control over work
to be done in their own flats. The 8oard took the decision to install the Fixflo system.
Trustees decided that Maldon Housing Association Limited should participate in the trial of the Customer
Satisfaction Survey that will be a reqU1￿ment of all large housing associations. The support team assisted
residents where asked in completing the survey comprising mandatory questions. It was most grattfying to
be able to report a high level of satisfaction with current services and the environment recorded by residents
of Maldon Housing Association Limited.
Financial review
Maldon Housing Association Limited, as part of its pwdent financial planning, maintains cash reseNes
primarily to ensure that the organisation can continue to provide services to residents ft)r a period of six
monlhs in the unlikely event that income is not received. In addition, the Association holds a number of
financial bequests that are used to fijnd specific matters detailed in each individual bequest.

Responslblllties of directors
As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities for financial reporting set out on page 5, the Board
is 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 Board determines is ne￿$sary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial ststements, the Board is responsible for assessing the 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 Board esther intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic altemative but to do so.
Audltor'6 responslbllltles for the audlt 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 auditorfs 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, individualty or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms
part of our auditor's report.
Extent to whlch the audtt was considered capable of detectlng Ilregularitles, Includlng fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtsining audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In Identifying and addressing risks of material misststement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non-compliance with and regulations, our procedures included the following..
We obtained an understsnding of laws, regulations and guidance that affect the Company, focusing
on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its
operations. Key laws, ￿gUlationS and guidance that we identified included the Companies Act
2006, the Statement of Recommended Practice for registered housing providers: Housing SORP
2018, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Accounting Direction for Private Registered
Providers of Social Housing 2022, tax legislation, health and safety legislation, and employment
legislation.
We enquired of the Board and reviewed correspondence and Board meeting minutes for evidence
of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the Board have
in place, where necessary, to ensure compliance.
We gained an understanding of the controls that the Board have in pla￿ to prevent and detect
fraud. We enquired of the Board about any incidences of fraud that had tsken place during the
accounting period.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Extent to whl¢h the audft was considered capable of detectlng Irregularities, including fraud
(contlnued)
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations was discussed within the audit
team and tests were planned and perfomied to address these risks. We identified the potential for
fraud in the following areas.. laws related to the consiruction and provision of social housing
recognising the regulated nature of the Company's activibes.
We reviewed financial statements disclosures and supporting documentation to assess compliance
with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
We enquired of the Board about actual and potential litigation and claims.
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might
indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the
appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making
accounts'ng estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
Due to the inherent limitats'ons of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements in the financial staternents, even though we have properly planned and perfomied
our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher
risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-
compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with
laws and regulations.
Usa of our report
Thi8 report is made solely to the 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 Company's
members those matters we are required to stste to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we
have formed.

(c) Judgements and key sources of uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements ￿qUireS management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Ststement of Financial
Position date and the amounts ￿ported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature
of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements
(apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the
financial statements.
a) Categorisats'on of housing properties. The Association has undertaken a detailed review of the
intended use of all housing properties. In determining the intended use, the Association has
consKlered if the asset is held for social benefit or to earn commercial rentsls.
b) Impairment. The Association has identified a cash generating unit for impairment assessment
purposes at a propety scheme level.
Other key sources of estlmatlon and assumptions..
a) Tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives tsking into
account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values
are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset
lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance
programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as
future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
b) Fair value of Financial Instruments. Changes in the fair value of financial instruments are
recognised in profit or loss for the period.
(d) Turnover
As the Association is registered as an Almshouse, it does not receive rent, but WMC (weekly maintenan
contributions). Turnover represents weekly maintenance contributs'ons, service charges and support
services and income receivable net of voids. It also includes the release of deferred Social Housing Grant
income Isee 1 (e)J. Maintenance contribution income is recognised when the property is available for let,
net of voids.

lthere developments have been financed wholly or partly by social housing and other grants, the amount
of the grant re￿iVed has been included as deferred income and recognised in turnover over the estimated
useful life of the associated asset structure {not land), under the accruals rnodel. SHG received for items
of cost written off in the Statement of Comprehensive Income Account is included as part of turnover.
SHG must be recycled by the Association under certain conditions, if a property is sold, or if another
levant event takes pla￿. In these cases, the SHG can be used for projects approved by Homes England
and Greater London Authority. However, SHG may have to be repaid if certain conditions are not met. If
grant is not required to ba recycled or repaid, any unamortised grant is recognised as Turnover. In certain
circumstances, SHG may be repayable, and, in that event, is a subordinated unsecured repayable debt.
lfj Flnance Costs
Loan interest Costs are calculated using the effective interest method of the difference betsveen the loan
amount at initial recognFtion and arnount of maturity of the related loan.
