TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The charity converted to Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 9 September 2019.
A new governing document was adopted on 27 February 2020.
Objectives and activities
The principal activity of the company is to provide for and maintain the Alms Houses in South Street Bridport for the benefit of the poor and needy of Bridport.
Achievements and performance
After maybe six years effort, we have finally got permission to improve the insulation and undo some mistakes in the 1960's on the units facing South Street. We have separated two units that were amalgamated in 1975 in accordance with advice about charity rules received in 1979. The buildings were given to us in 1696 and are Grade 11*. Any work is a labour of love.
We housed a person whom was about to be made homeless for the second time in six months. A native of Bridport, a veteran of the Falklands Conflict and the son of a former mayor.
There are figures from the ONS about death rates among homeless people. Among homeless people, the mean death rate was 45.9 for males and 43.4 for females in 2019. In the general population of England and Wales the mean age at death was 7631 for men and 80.9 years for women.
Financial review
Our income has increased by about 20%. The charity has made a surplus on its charitable activities of £9,020 in the year.
Full details are shown in the statement of financial activities and supporting notes.
Plans for future periods
We are still seeking planning permission to create eight homes in Chancery House.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are e 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).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the board of directors and trustees on 28 December 2021 and signed on its behalf.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
