THE JUBILEE & SHELLEY SHAKMAN TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The trust's objects are:
1) The provision of housing and accommodation for persons who are in need, hardship and distress and those who are resident in the area of benefit. In relation to the Jubilee Homes property the trustees must give preference firstly to married couples in need as result of age and infirmity and secondly, individuals who are in need as a result of age and infirmity.
2) Such charitable purposes for the benefit of the residents of the almshouses as the trustees decide.
3) The relief of financial hardship, either generally or individually, of people living in the area of benefit by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities.
4) The land and properties owned by the trust must be retained by the trustees for the use for the object of the charity.
Aims of the trust
The main aim of the trust is to maintain the Jubilee Homes cottages, the William Shakman House, the Deanway cottages, the Up Corner Close house, and Freshfields, Chalfont St. Giles. This is achieved firstly from contributions from the residents of these properties and secondly from monies held in investments.
The trustees decide what repairs need to be carried out during the year. They receive quotes from local companies and then decide when the work is to be carried out.
Public benefit
The benefits of The Jubilee and Shelley Shakman Trust are clear from the objects, activities and aims identified above.
The area of benefit of the trust is the Parish of Chalfont St. Giles.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake.
Achievements and performance Financial review
The trustees are satisfied with the results for the year.
Funding has come mainly from contributions from residents and investment income. The contributions from residents were increased from 1 April 2020. Income for 2022 has increased above both 2020 and 2021 levels. These past two years were affected by the pandemic and after two years of deficits, 2022 has generated a surplus. The trust continues to invest in low risk entities via the investment portfolio.
The accounts are showing a profit on disposal of tangible fixed assets of £194,309. This represents the difference between the sales proceeds for End Cottage and the depreciated book value at the date of sale.
It is the policy of the trust to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which will enable it to maintain its properties and meet any unforeseen expenditure. Total unrestricted funds at the year end were £1,561,653 (2021: £1,414,537).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JUBILEE & SHELLEY SHAKMAN TRUST
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Jubilee & Shelley Shakman Trust (the trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of FCA, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

THE JUBILEE & SHELLEY SHAKMAN TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Jubilee & Shelley Shakman Trust is a Charitable Trust constituted 23 June 2008.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investment properties and to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 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.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, 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 properties

THE JUBILEE & SHELLEY SHAKMAN TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
(i) Depreciation of that part of the cost of the Rehabilitation Scheme for the Jubilee Cottages not financed by Housing Association Grant is being provided by charging depreciation over the period of 30 years.
(ii) Depreciation in respect of Shakman House is being provided by charging £375 per annum, commencing 1984, to write off the cost of the buildings over their anticipated remaining life. The improvements carried out to the property in 2008 is being provided by charging depreciation over the period of 30 years.
(iii) Depreciation in respect to the improvements carried out to Deanway Cottage and Middle Cottage is provided by charging depreciation over the period of 30 years.
(iv) Depreciation in respect to End Cottage, Up Corner Close House, and Freshfields is provided by charging depreciation over the period of 30 years.
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property is represented entirely by investment land, which is recognised at the most recent valuation amount.
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. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Changes in fair value are recognised in other recognised gains and losses except to the extent that a gain reverses a loss previously recognised in net income expenditure, or a loss exceeds the accumulated gains recognised in equity; such gains and loss are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.9 Financial instruments
The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
