## **SWINNERTON TRUST LIMITED**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
## **Objectives and activities**
The Trust's prime objective is to provide high quality care and residential accommodation for elderly persons in a comfortable and supported environment, where individuality, dignity and quality of life are paramount. In setting the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
## _**Statement of Public Benefit**_
The trust has a massive advantage owning the freehold of Manor Court and consequently a high proportion of the income is devoted to providing care rather than paying property leases or funding debt or paying dividends to shareholders.
Residents are taken predominantly from the local community after their individual care needs have been assessed to ensure that their needs match what the Trust can provide, they may be either self-funding or alternately socially funded. On occasions a resident’s own funds can fall below a threshold at which they become assessable for social funding. However, the care provided by the trust remains identical. In setting the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
## **Strategic report**
The description under the headings "Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet the company law requirements for the Trustees to present a strategic report.
## **Achievements and performance**
The Trust’s primary objective is the provision of care and residential accommodation for the elderly at Manor Court Care Home which was originally built in late Victorian times as a private residence for Reginal Stanley. He is credited with having been one of the “Four Georgians,” gold prospectors who were instrumental in founding Helena the state capital of Montana USA. Reginald Stanley returned to Britain and with his brothers invested in a small brick and tile business in Nuneaton which they developed to become Stanley Bros which at one time became largest brick manufacturer in Europe.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
The building was originally purchased by The Swinnerton Trust in 1952 and tastefully converted to a residential care home. The site itself extends to approximately two acres and is designated as a scheduled ancient monument, although no ancient structures remain visible above ground level. The site is also at the centre of the Abbey Conservation Area with grounds populated by mature trees which are themselves protected with tree preservation orders. The combined effect is to constrain any potential future development of the site, it is therefore considered that any scope for enlarging the existing building or redeveloping the site is severely limited. On the plus side these restrictions provide a very pleasant environment and an attractive place to live and work, whilst residents and their families have the opportunity to enjoy peace and tranquillity in the extensive grounds.
On 26th March 2013 a new company Swinnerton Trust Limited was incorporated with all assets of The Swinnerton Trust being transferred to it. The home has operated continuously since opening and an important objective of the Trust is to maintain that continuity of care, the ability to continue to provide high quality care to the residents in what becomes their home.
Since Manor Court first opened standards of care have changed dramatically to reflect the ageing population with ever increasing care needs and expectations, what is today considered as basic care would not so many years ago be identified as nursing care. These factors make staff training and retention an important priority of the Trust which is illustrated by the home’s Care staff having an average of eleven years of service. Unlike many care homes Manor Court prides itself on not having a necessity to utilise agency care staff, periods of leave and absence are covered by the homes own experienced staff. The Home benefits substantially from a team of very loyal and dedicated staff, many are long serving employees with extensive experience, this continuity of care is greatly appreciated by the residents and families. The Trust is controlled by the board of Trustee/Directors who are all volunteers who meet quarterly and a management committee that meets monthly when there is no board meeting that includes other volunteers along with the Home Manager and Treasurer who are both employees. Quarterly Management Accounts are generated for each board meeting where planned expenditure is considered against the current cash flow position. This provides more up to date information and greater flexibility than working to an annual budget.
The home has only 23 bedrooms; this very small number makes for a very homely environment with staff knowing each resident individually, unlike larger more institutionalised homes where this is simply not possible.
During this year the home has focused on creating positive working relationships with health and social professionals and as a consequence has enjoyed high occupancy levels throughout the year producing a level of revenue which will enable the continued upgrading of the homes facilities and its grounds. To further enhance the quality of life for our residents emphasis is now being placed on encouraging them to engage in meaningful individual and group activities based on their personal preferences. More projects are being planned to add to the existing programme of events.
## **Coronavirus**
Coronavirus continued to have a significant impact on the home , Manor Court Home enjoys several significant advantages over many other larger homes, with a maximum of 24 residents far fewer individuals are involved greatly reducing the risk of transmission. A policy of not employing agency care staff reduces the probability of infection being brought in from other care providers.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **External Audits**
**Environmental Health** . The kitchen at Manor Court has been awarded a five star rating for food hygiene, reflecting the homes dedication to quality and compliance.
**Fire safety** . The home has not been subject to a fire service inspection visit this year but benefits from significant investment in previous years in state of the art automatic water mist fire suppression systems throughout the home including all roof spaces and modern fire and smoke detection systems. The personal safety of staff, residents and visitors is of paramount importance to the board.
**Care Quality Commission** . The home was subjected to an unannounced CQC inspection on 20 th January 2020 and the overall outcome was that the service “Requires Improvement,” with three of the areas being rated ‘Good’.
Following inspection the Registered Manager created an action plan to address issues raised and initiated some immediate actions to make improvements .
**Warwickshire County Council Quality Team** . The home continues to work in partnership with the local authority and as such remains on the Council’s framework for providing socially funded places on a spot purchase basis, irrespective of source of funding be it private or socially funded all residents at Manor Court enjoy the same high standards of care. In line with the homes contractual obligations a quality assurance audit was undertaken in August 22 with feedback being of a positive nature.
**Financial** . The home’s accounts are independently examined each year by an external firm of Chartered Accountants.
## **Independent quality audit.**
In addition to statutory inspections by the Care Quality Commission the Trust recognises that quality is paramount and arranges for quarterly quality audits to undertaken by an external advisor to monitor quality standards and care performance.
## **Resident’s Meals**
Resident’s Meals are very important within a care home environment as residents simply don’t have a choice of eating elsewhere, so the Trust aims to provide high quality meals with a choice of menu options, meals are cooked fresh daily on site. Wherever possible fresh ingredients are employed, meat is purchased from a national award winning local butchers, with meals served to residents in terrines, enabling them to enjoy as large or small a portion as they like whilst ensuring that their independence is maintained at all times.
## **Laundry**
Manor Court operates its own on site laundry service utilising the latest technology industrial washing machines with automatic ozone injection for maximum infection control.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **Resident’s facilities**
Each resident’s bedroom is uniquely different and individually decorated; all benefit from en-suite toilet facilities with safety non-slip flooring and for maximum comfort includes a fully adjustable profiling bed.
## **Financial review**
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain free reserves at a level sufficient to cover large, unforeseen costs, which may be incurred to maintain the properties, cover reasonable operating costs and to ensure that the charity can run efficiently meeting the needs of the beneficiaries.
## **Principal Funding Sources**
Funding is predominantly derived from residents' fees either self-funding or alternately socially funded whilst the balance fluctuates. A new contract was agreed with Warwickshire County Council effective from **August 2017** for a period four years with an option of a five year extension. The Board have welcomed recent increases in fees for socially funded residents. Additional funding is derived from Investment income, revenue from the Trust’s properties and some contribution from donations. Originally established with a legacy from R W Swinnerton and grants, subsequent legacies have enabled the Trust to establish significant financial reserves which are held in a number of cash investment accounts to give a reasonable yield, whilst at the same time minimising the level of investment risk. Without the benefit of its secure financial position and resulting investment income it is unlikely that Manor Court would have survived.
## **Legal Advisor**
The directors wish to express their gratitude to Clark Willmott LLP Solicitors and partner Mr John Irving for the pro bono work carried out for the benefit of the Trust, it is much appreciated.
## **Risk Assessment**
The Trustees has assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, and is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **Payment of Trade Creditors**
The Trust's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU).
The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:
- settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;
- ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and
- pay in accordance with the company's contractual and other legal obligations.
The activities of the Trust are monitored by a Management Committee, which meets on a monthly basis and the board of Directors (who are also Trustees) that meets quarterly. Control of activities is thus monitored on a regular basis and the Chairman passes decisions agreed by the Directors to individuals who are responsible for the day-to-day management. Full information regarding the running of the home and all financial matters are provided to the Management Committee; all comments and recommendations being carefully considered by Directors.
## **Remuneration Policy**
As the age profile of the nation changes with a growing number of elderly people with increasing care needs and expectations, care providers are facing a perfect storm of pressures to recruit and retain a workforce to meet these changes, including:-
- Higher skill standards and associated training costs to develop and maintain those skills.
- Blurring of the boundaries between care and nursing, many aspects of care today would have been considered nursing some years ago.
- Market forces, competition for the experienced workforce from other care providers.
- Our resident’s best interests, keeping staff turnover to an absolute minimum to provide that all important continuity of care.
- Impact of the statutory living wage whilst maintaining pay differentials
- Workplace pensions.
The policy of the Trustees is to maintain a remuneration policy that enables the recruitment and retention of adequately qualified and experienced staff whilst balancing market pressures against the charities own ability to pay.
Additionally the Trust aims to be a good employer going beyond meeting minimum legal obligations to provide support or help when employees experience difficulties within the work environment or outside.

All the Directors/Trustees are volunteers as are the management committee members except for the Registered Manager and Treasurer.
Volunteers from the local community assist in the homes two major social events the summer Garden Fête and the Christmas Carol Concert; without the help of volunteers the trust would be unable to stage these events.

The Trustees' r eport, including the strategic report, was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
Residential income and rental income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided .
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
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 except freehold property, are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Freehold property was gifted from The Swinnerton Trust and was initially measured at valuation on 22 November 2013 , the property was revalued on 18 April 2022 and has been measured at this valuation at the year-end. All property improvements have been included at cost.
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:
Land and buildings 2% straight line Property improvements 4% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .
## **1.7 Investment properties**
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

**(Continued)**
## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the Trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less .
## **1.10 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 and residents deposits 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 p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Trust ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

## **1.11 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.12 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
## **1.13 Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Trust’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The carrying value of land included in land and buildings is included at value o f £ 143,750 , which is calculated as a 25% estimate of the total value . The valuation does not provide a specific value of the land element however the directors believe that 25% is a reasonable estimate.
Land and buildings with a carrying amount of £ 575,000 were revalued at 18th April 2022 by Broomfield Surveyors Ltd, independent valuers not connected with the Trust on the basis of market value. The valuation conforms to International Valuation Standards and was based on recent market transactions on arm's length terms for similar properties. The Trustees are satisfied that the conditions pertaining to the value were in place at the year-end and, as such, the valuation reflects the fair value at 31st March 2022.
At 31 March 2022, had the revalued assets been carried at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, their carrying amount would have been approximately £437,500 (2021 - £445,000).
