## **ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **Administration Details**
The Earl of Rutland and Dr Flemings' Hospital Trust is a registered charity, incorporated on 16 March 2015. The registered office and charity number are shown on page 1.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity is administered by a board of Trustees, as shown on page 1, who meet at least once a year.
The charity recognises that an effective board of Trustees is essential if the charity is to be effective in achieving its objectives. Trustees must have sufficient knowledge, both of trusteeship in general and of the charities activities, to enable them to carry out their role and represent the charity.
The charity will seek to appoint individuals to ensure diversity in its board and with the necessary skills to carry out the objectives of the charity. New Trustees will be provided with a copy of the charity's governing documents.
The Trustees are satisfied with the results for the year, the level of reserves and the ability of the charity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.
## **Objective and Activities**
The charity provides free or subsidised houses to retired estate workers and those in need in the parishes of Bottesford and Muston. At present, it houses sixty five people. The trustees see the continued provision of subsidised housing as its main achievement.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Financial review**
The Trustees were satisfied with the activities during the year and the position at the year end. They are confident that the Charity can meet its liabilities whenever they fall due.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the Charity to hold sufficient reserves to meet all its liabilities when they fall due.

## **ANNUAL REPORT - CONTINUED YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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 in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act')
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
