Achievements and performance
Five-year Business Plan
Throughout 2022 the Trust continued to focus on delivering its business plan. The Trust has identified and developed a plan around six key areas, these are: Estate, Community, Care, Finance, Governance and Communication. The Trust is committed to delivering the key themes of the plan which will move the Charity forward, creating a stronger and sustainable environment for the future.
New Build Development
In May 2022 the Trust began the construction of two new apartments at its Mayes Gardens estate. Grants from Homes England and the Community Housing Fund were secured to help meet the cost of the development. The two, one bedroom apartments will be completed in March 2023 and provide new residents the opportunity to live at Mayes Gardens and to enjoy the facilities on offer.
Modernisation Work
In 2022 the Trust completed its programme to upgrade wet room facilities to all ground floor properties on the Mayes Gardens estate.
Support
The Trust continued to provide support, advice and information to residents to assist them to maintain their independence
Occupancy
The Trust continued to remain fully occupied with two new residents being housed at Mayes Gardens in 2022. The Mayes Gardens estate continues to be a popular housing option for older people with a range of one and twobedroom adapted accommodation available in a secure and tranquil setting with housing support available from staff when required to assist residents to live independently.
Mrs Lums Charity
The Trust’s programme of wet room upgrades was completed in 2022.
A programme of work to improve fire protection in the roof spaces of the eight bungalows was carried out in May 2022.
Modernisation Programme
In early 2022 two of the properties at St James Square became vacant. Listed building consent was obtained in August 2022 to carry out a major refurbishment of the two properties, and work began on the refurbishment in November 2022 and will be completed in March 2023. A Homes England grant is being applied for to assist with the cost of the refurbishment.
Sale Almshouses and Whitelegg Almshouses
All properties at the two charities remain occupied and there have been no vacancies in 2022. There has been no major work required since the refurbishment of the properties in 2017. The Trust will carry out a quinquennial property condition survey in 2023.

Governance and Financial Viability
The Board have reviewed its compliance with the Governance and Financial Viability Standard and confirm that it complies with the requirements of the standard for the year.
Value for Money
The key strategic objectives are to provide its residents with an independent lifestyle in affordable, quality, supported accommodation.
In line with the previous Homes England Standard and the Financial Regulations, the Trust seeks to achieve value for money on all expenditure. In April 2018, the Regulator of Social Housing issued the updated Value for Money Standard. In line with the updated standard the Trust will set appropriate targets and measure performance on a periodic basis.

EDWARD MAYES TRUST
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Trustees of Edward Mayes Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Edward Mayes Trust (the ‘Charitable Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Reserves, the Statement of Financial Position, 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022, 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 Companies Act 2006, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England 2022.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charitable Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 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 concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of 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 or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charitable Company's ability to continue 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.
Other information
The Board is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

EDWARD MAYES TRUST
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Trustees of Edward Mayes Trust
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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Board was not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
In addition, we have nothing to report in respect of the following matter where the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- a satisfactory system of control over transactions has not been maintained.
Responsibilities of the board
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities statement set out on page eight, the Board members (who are also the Directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law) are 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 Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
11 | P a g e
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Trustees of Edward Mayes Trust
EDWARD MAYES TRUST
In preparing the financial statements, the Board is responsible for assessing the Charitable Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board either intends to liquidate the Charitable Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 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.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the sector, control environment and Charitable Company’s performance;
-
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the organisation’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to the timing of the recognition of income. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management over-ride and we identified risk in relation to the posting of unusual journals and the manipulation of accounting estimates.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England 2022.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

EDWARD MAYES TRUST
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Principal accounting policies
Company Information
Edward Mayes Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Mayes Gardens, Harrison Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 7FN.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP), the Statement of Recommended Practice: ‘Housing SORP 2018: Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers’.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England 2022.
These financial statements have been prepared under a linking directive. For accountancy and registration purposes ‘The Edward Mayes Trust’, Charity Known as the Sale Almshouses, Elizabeth Stopford for Almshouses, Mrs Lum’s Charity, Whitelegg Almshouses, and The Ingham’s Almshouses are treated as part of the Charity.
The linking of the charities is an administrative linkage, for reporting purposes only. It does not change the separate legal status of the charities, or the nature of restricted funds or endowments, and it does not constitute a merger.
‘The Edward Mayes Trust’ holds the permanent endowment and has the liability for grants received. It is this charity which is registered as a Social Housing Provider, with registration number 4767.
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis of accounting, except for investments which are included at market value, and are presented in sterling.
The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
At the time of approving the financial statements the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Investment assets and income
Investments of the various funds are shown at market value. Gains and losses arising on the sale of investments are dealt with directly through the various fund accounts. Income from investments, which is shown gross, includes only such dividends and interest on securities as are remitted to the Charity during its financial year by the Charity’s stockbrokers and its bankers. Changes in the market value of investment assets are shown as unrealised gains or losses.
Turnover
Turnover represents residents’ contributions receivable, grants and donations.

EDWARD MAYES TRUST
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Amortisation is recognised to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Website development - Straight line over 3 years.
