St John's Home Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present their report together with financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Structure, governance and management

St John's Home is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which was incorporated on 14 January 2014 in the UK to continue the charitable activities formerly undertaken by the registered charity also principal activity is the running of a residential care home. The former charity has no assets or liabilities and remains dormant.

The trustees who served during the year are listed on page 1. The governing document allows for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 Trustees. Trustees are recruited through various channels.

The Charity has produced an induction pack for new Trustees and arranges appropriate in-house or external training courses to meet other Trustees' needs.

The Trustees meet regularly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Home. They specifically consider applications from prospective residents and matters concerning the wellbeing of residents and staff. The Matron and the Operations Manager also attend these meetings.

Responsibility for the day to day running of the Home rests with the Matron, the Operations Manager, the Deputy Manager and the Finance Manager. The Trustees are responsible for setting their pay, which is reviewed annually.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Charity are:

i the provision of housing accommodation for beneficiaries

ii such charitable purposes for the benefit of the residents of the Home as the Trustees decide, and iii the provision of extra-care accommodation and facilities for beneficiaries, with a preference for residents in the Home.

The principal activity of the Charity is running a residential care home in Northampton. The Home is in a building of character set in its own attractive grounds and provides a happy and caring environment for elderly people who are no longer able to live independently in their own homes. Because the land and buildings are owned outright and the Home is a not-for-profit organisation, the Trustees are able to keep fees to a relatively modest level whilst maintaining a very high standard of care. If residents are no longer able to

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Public benefit

The Trustees are cognisant of their obligation to provide public benefit. The Trustees regard all the residents as being worthy of charitable support by virtue of their age and varying degrees of infirmity. The Trustees therefore aim to keep fees for all residents as low as possible so that admission to the Home is not dependent on ability to pay. Fees are further subsidised by accepting residents who are funded by local authorities and by reverting to local authority funding for residents who find themselves no longer able to pay. In these circumstances top up fees are sometimes available from residents' families, but this is not always the case.

From initial admission residents may have many future years living in the Home and the Trustees are mindful of their aim where possible to provide a home for life regardless of future financial circumstances. Judgements are therefore made from time to time as to the level and nature of fee subsidies which can be offered. During the year fee subsidies of £66,760 (2023 - £160,402) were given. The average number of funded residents during the year was 9 (2023 - 11).

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Achievements and performance

The main aim is the on-going provision of quality care for our residents.

Financial review

There was a surplus of net income of £207,959 (2023: net deficit of £46,647) for the year. This includes gains on investments of £69,839 (2023: gains of £53,773). In 2024 a significant legacy of £92,500 was received. In general, the Trustees plan to generate a reasonable level of surplus to give the Charity the ability to invest further in the facilities of the home as the increasing age profile of residents requires.

benefited from increased occupancy in 2024, but the increasing needs of the residents require additional staff to deal with their needs. In addition, the impact of the increases in the national living wage continues to increase pressure on costs, and in common with many charities St Johns will be significantly impacted by the increase in National Insurance in 2025.

Further increases in fees are also inevitable but these are kept to a minimum and we continue to offer subsidies in line with our public benefit responsibilities.

The principal sources of funding have continued to be fees charged to residents and investment income.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Risk management

The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the Home is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Major risks identified are:

Failure to comply with CQC high level standards of care
The inability to recruit and retain appropriate levels of staff
Health and safety requirements
Premises and infrastructure no longer fit for purpose

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the Charity faces. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with CQC standards and health and safety requirements for residents, staff and visitors. These procedures are regularly subjected to both internal and external review by way of external consultants, a Health & Safety Committee and regular visits by Trustees. Infrastructure and premises requirements are reviewed annually. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and regular review of income and expenditure by Trustees.

The main risk to the Charity from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. Liquidity risk is anticipated to be low as investments are mainly traded in markets with good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments.

The Charity seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The investment objective is to generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating an income to support the ongoing activities of the Charity. The Trustees rely on the investment managers in selecting the individual investments held but the results are monitored by the investment committee. The total return on endowment investments was 10.4% (2023: -8.8%) compared to a benchmark of 13.1% (2023: -11.1%). For current investments, the return was 12.1% (2023: -9.7%) compared with a benchmark of 11.3% (2023: -9.8%).

The Trustees consider that there are two principal areas of financial risk. The first of these is the possibility of a loss of revenue or additional costs due a particularly severe epidemic or pandemic. The second is the possibility of major expenditure being incurred on unforeseen repairs to buildings or equipment.

The Trustees believe that it would be appropriate to hold reserves of approximately £350,000 for these eventualities. The free reserves held at the end of the year amounted to £562,352 (2023: £358,304). Reserves are monitored

periods

In 2025 the Trustees plan to use the bulk of the 2024 legacy to replace the boilers in the Home. We are also planning to improve the office facilities as the demands of legislation, funders and inspection regimes have had led to increased levels of administration and management.

The Home continues to strive to give the best experience possible for our residents and to be a positive place to work for our staff.

The T trustees are responsible for preparing the accordance with applicable law and regulations.

The Charities Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of the resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
observe the methods and principles set out in the 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 ('Charities SORP (FRS 102)')
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the C harity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder and the provisions of the trust deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES

J C Fazackerley Trustee 16 June 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors Opinion to the Trustees of St John's Home

2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2016) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

In our opinion the financial statements:

4, and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and bilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the ibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Report of the Independent Auditors Opinion to the Trustees of St John's Home (continued)

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

report; or

the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors Opinion to the Trustees of St John's Home (continued)

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

The charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly and indirectly affect the financial statements. Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment it operates within, we determined that the laws and regulations which were most significant were the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, Employment Law, Health and Safety Law, GDPR and the regulatory oversight from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We considered the extent to which non-compliance with these laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements, including how fraud might occur. We evaluated managerisk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inapproestimates, income recognition and the potential impact of breaches to the applicable CQC regulations.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Discussions with management and those responsible for legal compliance procedures within the charity to obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and how the charity complies with that framework, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations;

Report of the Independent Auditors Opinion to the Trustees of St John's Home (continued)

Performing testing on a sample basis to validate the completeness of income;
Performing income cut-off testing in order to establish that income is being recorded in the correct accounting period;
Verifying investment income back to source documentation to ensure the completeness of investment income. Agreeing the investment valuations at the Balance Sheet date to the underlying 3rd party valuation reports;

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the more removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Use of our report

(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

St John's Home Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

Principal accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared view. This departure has involved following 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 2016) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Going concern

Due to the pandemic and the slow recovery from that, the pressure on costs and the effect of the war in Ukraine on investment values, losses have been incurred in the last three years and reserves depleted. However, based on improved levels of income, controls over costs and on cash flow projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Home has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their report and the accounts.

Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that income will be received, and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Fee income is the total amount receivable for services provided during the period.

All monetary donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the Charity Where legacies have been notified to the Charity or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Investment income is recognised when receivable. Dividends are recognised once the income has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

St John's Home

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

Principal accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure, which is charged on an accruals basis, is allocated between:

expenditure incurred directly in the effort to raise voluntary contributions if applicable (raising funds)
expenditure incurred directly for the furtherance of the Charity's objectives including support, governance, management and administration costs of the Charity.

All expenditure is shown gross, inclusive of unrecoverable VAT, and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the specific activity.

Contributions to pension funds

The pension costs charged in the year represent the amount of the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Charity.

Outstanding future contractually due contributions to closed multi-employer schemes are included as provisions for liabilities in the balance sheet.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment costing more than £500 are capitalised. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets (excluding freehold land) held for Charity use by equal annual instalments over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis.

The periods generally applicable are:

Freehold buildings	50 years
Fixtures and fittings	3 - 20 years
Property improvements	3 - 20 years
Computer equipment	3 years

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

St John's Home

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

Principal accounting policies (continued)

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Leased assets

All leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fund accounting

Endowment funds are funds which are held as capital. They represent investments, tangible fixed assets and net current assets.

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes laid down by the donor. Expenditure for those purposes is charged to the fund. They are held in current assets.

Unrestricted funds are fees and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
