## Introduction
The Charity’s main purpose is the provision and maintenance of fifteen single and five double units of Almshouse accommodation situated across Hurst (three sites) and Twyford (one site) in the county of Berkshire.
## Residents
The Charity currently houses twenty-one residents aged between 27 and 89 years. A long-term resident of 23 years moved to a care home since she was no longer able to live independently.
The Charity provided housing for two new residents.
Richard Harrison Almshouses, London Road, Twyford, built 1660 The communal tv ariel developed a fault causing the loss of tv stations for the residents. A local company was contacted, quickly identifying the fault and repairing to leave the system in operation. The oak paneling in the covered way was treated with linseed oil and the walls limewashed.
William Barker Almshouses, Church Hill, Hurst, built 1664 and 1980 The buttresses have been repointed with lime mortar and bricks replaced as necessary.
Lodge Close Almshouses, Hinton Road, Hurst, built 1960
The main sewer pipe was renewed following several blockages resulting from the existing pipe collapsing. The large oak tree in the grounds showed signs of distress during the extreme heat in the summer months, this was attended to by a local tree surgeon. Following a resident moving to a care home the property underwent complete redecoration with a new kitchen and the bathroom converted into a wet room.
Richard Bigg Almshouses, Hinton Road, Hurst, built 2019
The Charity received the Excellence and Inspiration Award from the Almshouse Association in recognition of an outstanding almshouse project.

## Administration
The Charity’s quarterly meetings which were suspended due to the pandemic, resumed in July 2022.
The weekly maintenance charge was not increased in order to help residents with the ongoing increase in the cost of living.
To celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee the almshouses were decorated with bunting.
Twenty Year 6 school leavers from St Nicholas School, Hurst were presented with bibles as indicated in the will of the late Dame Dorothy Harrison 1664.
All gas boilers were serviced by British Gas and Landlords Safety Certificates issued.
The solar panels at Lodge Close generated a total of 11MWhrs for the year, an all-time record.
## Trustees
Mr. Edwards was proposed and elected to serve as Chairman for the coming year 2022-2023
Summary
The Charity continues to provide high quality, affordable housing for local people.
The buildings benefit from regular upgrading and improvement works, along with the day-to-day internal and external maintenance carried out as required.
Grounds are regularly mowed and tended by the Charity’s gardener, with residents being encouraged to care for the own flowerbeds.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
## **Report to the trustees/ members of**
Charity Name
Hoima and Hampshire Hospitals
**On accounts for the year** April 5[th] , 2023 **ended** 1-2
**Set out on pages**
**Charity no** 1141540 **(if any)** (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
**Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
## **Independent examiner's statement**
- My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *)
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
