MAYNARD AND COTTON'S HOSPITAL CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purposes of the charity as set put in its governing document is for the relief of financial hardship among people living or working within the area administered by Canterbury City Council in the county of Kent, or who in the opinion of the Trustees have strong links to this areas, in particular, by providing such persons with almshouse accommodation and financial support through the provision of utilities which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.
The main activities are the provision of almshouse accommodation and financial support for those in need.
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
On 1st January 2016 a Transfer Agreement was signed transferring the assets and liabilities of Maynard and Cotton's Hospital (RCN 210544) to the newly constituted Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), Maynard and Cotton's Almshouses which was entered on the register of charities on 1st June 2015.
The charity continues to provide almshouse accommodation for 12 residents in the city of Canterbury. The almshouses are spread across two locations within the city and the trustees pay for utilities and Life Line for all residents.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 are attached to this Annual Report.
The Financial Statements reveal the Charity's income sources which, are in the main derived from stock exchange investments, the investment property and the various bequests and endowments which have been made to the Charity in the course of its lifetime. Expenditure reflects the Trustees principal activity as per its Constitution of providing almshouse accommodation to those in need. Inevitably in meeting these objectives administration expenses are incurred but the Trustees do not consider the level of administration to be excessive having regard to the nature of the Charity under their control. During 2023 total resources used by the Trustees amounted to £89,605 against £90,170 resources arising, leaving a surplus of £565 before the revaluation of investment assets. (2022 £7,839).
The charity expects to have adequate resources available to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months and therefore the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Reserves as at 31st December 2023 were all unrestricted £1,891,251 (2022 £1,815,293) of which £1,667,426 (2022 £1,587,963) can only be realised by the disposal of tangible fixed assets.
Reserves are maintained to help finance the maintenance and repair of the almshouses for the ongoing benefit of the residents. A quinquennial inspection of the buildings is carried out and a programme of repairs completed as required.
The Trustees maintain a block policy of insurance in respect of the freehold properties under their control, to ensure these assets are properly insured with a system established for future uplift of insurance values. It is confirmed a rolling programme of building, mechanical and electrical maintenance is in place for all properties under the Trustees control and advice has also been taken from the Charity's architects in this respect.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The principal address is shown on page 2 of these financial statements. The objects of the CIO are the relief of financial hardship among people living or working within the area administered by Canterbury City Council in the County of Kent, or who in the opinion of the Trustees have strong links with this area, in particular, by providing such persons with almshouse accommodation and financial support through the provision of utilities which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.
Maynard & Cotton's Almshouses CIO constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has evolved following the 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 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.
Support costs
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on an insert detail basis and other overheads have been allocated on an insert detail basis.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property improvements - 2% on cost Computer equipment - 33 1/3% on cost
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Investment property
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value at each reporting date which changes in fair value recognised in 'net gains/ (losses) on investments in the SOFA.
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains / (losses) on investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
