## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 Objectives and aims The charity's objective and principal activity is the provision of housing for the elderly and needy of Bedford and north and central Bedfordshire. 

## Public benefit 

The charity continues to fund social functions for residents to promote their well-being. The charity has also granted £1,488 from the Relief in Need fund in order to subsidise the weekly maintenance contribution of hardship case resident; this practice will continue whenever necessary. The availability of the Common Room and kitchen at John Crosse House continues to enable the charity to make its facilities accessible to the wider community in Bedford with several charitable organisations and local groups taking advantage of the Common Room for their events and fundraising.

## THE THOMAS CHRISTIE ALMSHOUSE AND RELIEF IN NEED CHARITY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

In common with any other charitable organisations in the past year, activities have been severely curtailed by the Covid 19 pandemic. Usual fixtures such as the annual Christie Sunday lunch in May, Christmas lunch and the variety of more informal activities including the weekly Breakfast Club, afternoon tea and Kurling Club could not take place. Residents responded quickly and collaboratively to the need for social isolation during the lockdown period; several have said how much they have appreciated the community support at Thomas Christie during this difficult period. 

## Fabric 

In relation to Fabric matters, the development of proposals for external redecoration of Christie House and John Crosse House have been put on hold until later in 2021/early 2022 in view of the Covid 19 epidemic. The next Quinquennial Survey will take place in Autumn 2021 and be conducted by Robinson Hall. Plans for extension of CCTV coverage have now been put into effect. The Charity's website was upgraded during the year, as was the TV aerial system. 

Trustees The trustees continue to record warmest thanks to the clerk, Tricia Scouller, and to the warden, Julia Morelli, for their constant dedication to the work of the charity and their willingness cheerfully to take on any challenge in order to ensure that the wellbeing of the residents is paramount. This has been particularly appreciated by residents during the pandemic lockdown when the warden has arranged shopping support for a number of frailer residents. We also record our thanks to our capable deputy wardens Joan Craig and Lynda Severs for their support to the clerk, warden, residents and trustees during this last year. 

The trustees continue to receive regular reports at their meetings of work and testing procedures carried out by our maintenance team (SDG) during the year and they are recorded and filed as part of the warden's report to the trustees at each meeting. 

Our strong association with St Paul's Church continues to enable us to offer pastoral care to our residents and we are also able to support hardship cases as they arise from time to time. The trustees continue to take a full and active part in the charity's affairs and they are also thanked for their dedication and support. We are fortunate to have a wide range of expertise amongst our trustees which has benefited the charity hugely. 

## Compliance 

The trustees continue to receive regular reports at their meetings of work and testing procedures carried out by our maintenance team during the year and they are recorded and filed as part of the warden's report to the trustees at each meeting. 

A dedicated fire company was appointed in 2018 to cover the Fire Risk Assessment, all equipment, escape plans and emergency lighting. 

Compliance Policies were drafted by the clerk, for discussion and approval by the trustees, in November 2018. They were all based on guidance from the Almshouse Association and personalised to Thomas Christie. 

New trustees receive an induction pack from the clerk and are shown around the houses and introduced to residents. All trustees are offered the opportunity to attend seminars for trustees provided by the Almshouse Association. A wide varietyare an opportunityof topics toare networkcovered, withand otherattendees clerks andare trusteesencouraged and shareto pass experiences.on information to other trustees. The seminars

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position The principal funds of the charity during the year have derived from residents' maintenance contributions, and dividends received from the charity's investment portfolio. Residents! contributions were £139 and £196 and amounted to £206,690 (2020: £200,913).Lower in 2020 due to a number of vacant periods. Prior to the revaluation of investments the charity made a surplus the year of £75,928 (2020: £36,295). Total charitable expenditure for the year amounted to £171,464 (2020: £210,712), of which £149,179 (2020: £191,734) was directly attributable to the maintenance and administration of the Almshouse. It is principally the renewal expenditure in the year that has caused the increase in expenditure, During the year, the trustees purchased a further 111 NAACP accumulation units, costing £10,000. The investments of the charity increased by £192,124 in value at the year end date (2020 £170,876 decrease). this reflects the financial uncertainty caused by the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020 and subsequent recovery. 

## Investment policy and objectives 

Sums of cash at any time belonging to the charity and not needed for immediate working purposes shall be invested in the name of the said charity. 

Reserves policy It is the policy of the charity to allocate specific funds from those funds which have not yet been committed or designated for any specific purpose. The trustees have set aside these reserves in order to protect the future operations of the charity from the effects of any unforeseen variations in its income as part of a policy of good financial management practice. 

i A i i i : i E | | : 

i i & & i i é 4 

Tt is the policy of the charity to invest any sums of cash not required for immediate working purposes in the National Association of Almshouses Common Investment Fund. 

The trustees have set the level of these funds after undertaking a thorough assessment of the charity's needs. At 31 March 2021, the charity's funds were: Capital fund £62,894 (2020; £48,941), General fund £2,836,638 (2020: 2,801,203), Legacy fund £36,340 (2020 £36,298) and Rebuilding and Extraordinary Repairs Fund £948,194 (2020: £729,572). Extraordinary Repairs Fund Clause 33 of the 1971 scheme specifically requires that an extraordinary repair fund be established and that an annual sum of £250 (1971 value) be paid each year into the fund from the income of the Aimshouse branch, for the credit of the account, together with any income accruing on the account. The trustees, on the basis of legal and accountancy advice have, since 1994, been investing increasing amounts each year to reflect inflation and to make good under investments in earlier years, 

It is likely that significant expenditure will be needed to keep the 1960's buildings in reasonable condition and for which adequate reserves must be maintained. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The Thomas Christie Almshouse and Relief In Need Charity is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its Memorandum of Articles, First founded in 1697, the organisation was registered under its current title on the 14 July 1971 and became a company limited by guarantee on the 3 March 2010.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource, Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, as set out in the notes to the accounts, 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Improvements to property - 5% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost and 15% on cost

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## Impairment of fixed assets 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
