-
to provide programmes of activities designed to encourage mental alertness, self-esteem, and social interaction with other residents, and with recognition of the core values of care, which are fundamental to the philosophy of Preston Bethany Care and delivered through Bethany House.
The above objectives are achieved by:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Public benefit
PBC recognise the importance of providing benefits to the communities that the charity serves. Guidance provided by the Charity Commission specifically identifies requirements to provide “public benefit”. PBC fulfils this Public Benefit duty via a number of concurrent initiatives, including:
-
financially supporting a part time community worker at Ascension fellowship, as they provide practical social and Spiritual support to the community around Gamull lane. Ascension fellowship deliver this support via their food back, and their Sunday services.
-
financially supporting a number of local authority residents who would not normally be able to afford the fees at Bethany House. PBC delivers this via their fee “top up” funding which is used to make up the shortfall in funding between the Local Authority funding and the accommodation fees.
-
providing good quality work for local community staff.
The current director/trustees (like their predecessors) recognise that:
-
the original costs of building Bethany House were largely met by gifts received via Preston Bethany Trust, thus reducing operating costs because there were no repayment or interest costs.
-
their on-going voluntary work enables public benefit to continue, whilst maintaining competitive rates for the care provided.
-
Bethany House residents benefit significantly from the reduced operational costs of Bethany House. There is an insatiable need for local authority care, so the director/trustees try to avoid creating “resident quotas” which could be perceived as benefitting either private funding or local authority funded residents.
Achievements and performance
Although the impact of Covid 19 has reduced significantly during FY2022-23. There has continued to be periods of time when positive tests have impacted on normal life.
The following commentary provides an overview of the progress compared to the 2022-23 objectives.
-
Works to maintain and improve Bethany House have now been recommenced.
-
Developing the directors/trustees future strategies, and director/trustee recruitment have recommenced.
-
Director/trustee relationships have been developed more largely due to the fact we have worked together in recruiting a new Manager and then working without a manager while we recruited another manager.
PBC Objectives for 2023/24
Due to the difficulties with Manager recruitment the FY2023-24- objectives remain largely unchanged.
Continue to strengthen the charity board of directors to establish a team of individuals who will:
-
Recruit and retentain in of new general manager.
-
Continue to maintain PBC financial stability.
-
Continue to maintain and enhance Bethany House, to provide a homely welcoming environment for residents, staff and residents families.
-
Fulfil the aims and objectives in the statement of purpose and consolidate the developments from preceding years and to maintain business stability.
-
Consolidate PBC current position and develop vision and strategy.
-
Continue to raise the profile of the charity in the Christian community and develop links with local churches.
-
Continue to improve the physical environment of Bethany House.
-
Strengthen the Christian profile of the organisation and further develop pastoral care.
Impact of COVID-19
The trustees recognised the need to take a much longer term view of the impact from COVID-19, and the need to ensure that adequate resources continue to be provided well in to the future.

PRESTON BETHANY CARE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial review
The accompanying accounts show a surplus for the year of £41,618. This surplus is due to occupancy levels in the year boosting income.
The attached accounts show the current state of the finances which the trustees consider to be sound. The trustees are satisfied that the assets of the charity are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of the Charity. They are also satisfied that the accounts comply with current statutory requirements and with the Trust Deed.
Reserves policy
In accordance with guidelines issued by the Charity Commission the level of reserves is considered and reviewed at regular intervals by the trustees. The trustees have previously adopted a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity, should be broadly equivalent to 12 months of expenditure. This level of reserves has been set because of the unknown impact on future years of COVID-19 and inflation. For the current year this would equate to £898,763, the current free reserves of the charity are £994,620 (note 15).
Under the Trust Deed, the charity has the power to invest any surplus liquid funds as the directors/trustees see fit. The charity has had a policy of keeping such funds in short and medium term deposits which allows the charity to access the funds rapidly.
Risk Review
The director/trustees recognise the crucial role that they fulfil in minimising risks to the charity and the community they serve.
During 2022-23 the director/trustees used the Charity Commission (CC) guidance to continue with their risk mitigation of PBC risks: The review identified a variety of risks and the associated mitigations, the most significant finding/conclusions are summarised below:
-
The director trustees recognise that COVID-19 presented a significant risk to the charity, because of its unknown impact on many aspects of the business.
-
The impact of rising energy costs was recognised as a potential risk, especially following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
-
The review did not identify any major issues which were not already being mitigated, but the review did highlight some opportunities to improve processes and these are being progressed as required.
-
Where new specific risks were identified these are be mitigated as required below.
Identification and mitigation of major risks:
-
Closure of Bethany House following a fire or other major trauma. This risk is incredibly difficult to plan the precise mitigation measure required, but it is envisaged that the insurance policy is sufficient to provide some confidence that appropriate alternative accommodation will be provided as required.
-
Closure of the home by external bodies. The director/trustees closely monitor how Bethany House is performing via a number of 3rd party registration bodies. These provide the director/trustees with some ongoing assurance that the current Care Quality Commission requirements are being fulfilled.
-
Loss of computer held data - computer data is backed up constantly using an online backup service.
-
Loss of income due to falling occupancy. The director/trustees closely monitor occupancy levels (generally in excess of 95%), this helps them to plan budgets, staffing levels and future developments.

1.5 Expenditure

The expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running the home, support and governance costs which have been allocated to the only charitable activity which is the provision of care to residents of Bethany House.

| Leasehold land and buildings | Over the life of the lease |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 15% Straight Line |
| Fixtures and fittings | 20% Reducing Balance |
| Computers | 33.3% Straight Line |

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
