## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. 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** 

In the past year on our South Street site, we have been undoing some of the inappropriate work which carried out in the 1960’s, removing cement render and insulating with what we now know to be the good stuff, mainly insulated lime mortar and pointing the exterior with lime pointing.  We have also fitted two new kitchens and entirely revamped the interiors and separated unit 2 from the south wing of The Porch House thus creating two homes where there was one before all be it smaller ones. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity has made a surplus on its charitable activities of £9,008 in the year. 

Full details are shown in the statement of financial activities and supporting notes. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

In addition to the work on South Street we have been getting on with work on Chancery House.  This brings forth the possibility that not only will we create homes for the poorly housed, there are 133 singles people/couples requiring a one bed home, or a bedroom in a shares house and 55 families requiring a 2 bed homes on the council waiting list, but also increase our income by 200% which will hope will allow us to create a virtuous circle of continuous investment in social housing.  We see no circumstances in which there will not be a requirement for social housing in Bridport particularly that in almshouses

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT** (Continued) 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

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). 

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 trustees on 8 July 2022 and signed on its behalf.

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF DANIEL TAYLOR ALMSHOUSE CIO** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 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. 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2011 Act. 

4. 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). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other 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.
