THE FRIENDLY ALMSHOUSES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with a summary of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting 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 (FRS102), effective 1 January 2015.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The object of the Charity is set out in the Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 12th December 1980. This is "... to relieve and assist, by the provision of housing and associated amenities, needy women of good character over the age of 60 years... resident within ten miles of St Paul's Cathedral". In 1993, with the consent of the Charity Commissioners, the minimum age at entry was lowered to 50 years.

Women interested in taking up residence in the Almshouses may be referred by social services and other local agencies, or they may approach us directly.

The Charity currently has 20 flats, distributed between the Victoria Cottages and Martindale House, available for occupation. Residents lead independent lives, though the wardens and Clerk are available to provide support and help in dealing with personal and practical problems. When not constrained by the lockdown requirements, participation in the community life and its many activities is much encouraged, and the quarterly residents' meetings provide the opportunity for discussion and exchange of ideas between residents and trustees.

Public benefit

The trustees have considered the activities of the Charity, its achievements for the year to 31 March 2023 and its plans for the future against the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. They agreed that the public who benefit from the Charity's work are those who are described in the Charity's objectives and aims as noted above and is essentially the same as that envisaged by the founders: "for the provision of permanent relief to poor and aged women. It is a Society managed by women for women...".

Social investments

Programme related investments, in the form of freehold property, have contributed towards the achievement of the Charity's aims and objectives because these properties are used to provide the social housing for Charity's beneficiaries.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The accounts period, which run from April 2022 to March 2023, has been a busy but productive year for the Charity.

Two years on since the start of the pandemic, TFA has once again been able to embrace the wider world again, with residents joining together properly as a community.

Our close-knit team is characterised by the special people who work here and in July we were joined by Ronnie Marr as Operations Support Manager. Ronnie comes from a background of nursing and teaching and is a wonderful addition to our team. Ronnie has been encouraging and creating opportunities for the residents - planning lunches, coffee mornings and her energy, empathy and support for the residents is extraordinary . Ronnie is brilliantly supported by Pat Chapman who has been with us for nearly 10 years.

The residents celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a popular tea party. However, in September the news of Her Majesty's death was a shock and the residents expressed their sorrow and commemorated her memory by fondly reminiscing about her exceptional reign. The community also said goodbye to our oldest resident, Nora Muchmore, who passed away in a care home near her family at the grand age of 109.

We were delighted to use our grant from The Story of Christmas to install a Malvern Summer House in the garden. With heating and lighting, it provides a contemporary attractive space for quiet reading, small gatherings or for residents wishing to do arts and crafts. Additionally, the grant allowed us to refurbish and replace the rear windows in the Victorian Cottages, thus keeping ahead of the curve for the inevitable maintenance required for older buildings.

The cost of living increased sharply across the UK during 2022, with the annual rate of inflation reaching 11.1% in October. With this in mind, we upgraded the central heating system and undertook the necessary replacement of our boilers, in order to improve energy efficiency and reliability. Our income position is strong, with most of our residents qualifying for full housing benefit, and with careful management of our expenditure we are making good progress in rebuilding our Reserves. These will be a critical component in taking forward our plans for future development .

To that end, Trustees Eleanor Lindsay and Shish Malhotra are continuing to work to help TFA deliver a solution for the vacant site adjoining the Victorian Cottages. This is an intricate, complex and slow process but, working with good consultants, we are hopeful that we will have something concrete to report in the near future.

The need for our supported accommodation is evidenced by the full occupancy of our flats. However, the greatest challenges which we face within the almshouse community remain helping and supporting our residents, should they become frail, to find alternative care that is more suited to their changing needs, and attracting appropriate new trustees to join us.

It only leaves me to thank our wonderful team of staff and my committed group of trustees who make such a positive difference to the TFA, perpetuating our core values of kindness, community and companionship.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Investment performance

The Charity retained the COIF units, valued at just over £192k at the end of March 2023, and this fund has continued to do well in spite of the turbulence caused by the pandemic.

It remains the trustees' intention to rebuild an investment portfolio as and when conditions allow, depending on the nature and extent of plans to redevelop the Colville House site.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Charity's income continues to derive principally from the weekly maintenance contributions (WMC) paid by its beneficiaries. The majority of this income is drawn from housing benefit, and as the Charity has been deemed exempt from the housing benefit cap, this is a reliable income stream with potential for increase when required. We had one vacant flat for the final quarter of the year. Our budgeting assumes a 5% vacancy factor so we were more than covered for this. All flats are now occupied and we maintain a waitlist for when vacancies do arise.

The Charity generated £134k (2022: £205k) from operating activities (excluding grants and donations) during the year to 31 March 2023. This leaves us well placed to service the remaining Almshouse Association loan of £42k and to continue building reserves to enable redevelopment of the Colville House site.

Reserves policy

Reserves are held in order to provide adequate funds to maintain the housing stock in good repair, to fund future developments and to continue to provide housing and support to residents in the event of a disruption in revenue. In addition to the COIF unit fund, the Charity held cash reserves of £327k as at 31 March 2023 giving a total reserve of £1,584k, of which all bar the grant from The Christmas Story, were unrestricted funds. This more than meets the expectation of at least three months' operating costs being available to deal with the consequences of unanticipated challenges.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees, up to a maximum of fourteen, (the Board may also co-opt members up to a third of its total membership). The Board currently meets every two months and has a quorum of three. All of the trustees sit on at least one sub-committee, of which there are currently five. These sub-committees have their own governance structure and decision-making powers and meet as often as required to deal with the business of the day. They report formally at each Board meeting.

The Board has due regard at all times to the Charity Commission's guidance in the exercise of its powers and duties. On appointment, new members of the Board receive an induction pack, and have access to a copy of the Almshouse Association's Standard of Almshouse Management. Board members have also attended seminars and briefings in areas such as housing, charity law, and the responsibilities of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRIENDLY ALMSHOUSES

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Friendly Almshouses ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

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 charity'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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 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 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  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 (FRS 102)).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All support and governance costs relate to the activity of providing housing in accordance with the objectives of the charity.

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 - Straight line over 50 years Equipment and fittings - Straight line over 3 and 10 years

Social investments

The cost of the freehold property is accounted for within tangible fixed assets as it is a programme related investment held specifically to contribute to the charity's charitable purpose.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Company Tax Return CT600 (2023) Version 3 for accounting periods starting on or after 1 April 2015

Your Company Tax Return

If we send the company a ‘Notice’ to deliver a Company Tax Return it has to comply by the filing date or we charge a penalty, even if there is no tax to pay.

A return includes a Company Tax Return form, any supplementary pages, accounts, computations and any relevant information. The CT600 Guide tells you how the return must be formatted and delivered. It contains general information you may need to deliver your return, links to more detailed advice and box-by-box guidance for this form and the supplementary pages. The forms in the CT600 series set out the information we need and provide a standard format for calculations.

The Committee The Friendly Almshouses Martindale House 155 Stockwell Park Road Brixton London SW9 0LT

Hysons Chartered Accountants 14 London Street Andover Hampshire SP10 2PA

Dear Sirs

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief and having made appropriate inquiries of other officials of The Friendly Almshouses (“TFA”), the following representations which are given to you in connection with your independent examination of the financial statements of the TFA for the year ended 31 March 2023.

ASSETS

General

  1. All assets included in the balance sheet were at that date in existence and owned by the TFA and free from any lien, encumbrance or charge, except as disclosed in the financial statements. The balance sheet includes all tangible assets owned by the TFA.

Tangible Fixed Assets

  1. The net book amounts at which the tangible fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet are arrived at:

  2. a) After taking into account all capital expenditure on additions thereto, but no expenditure properly chargeable to revenue.

  3. b) After eliminating the cost and accumulated depreciation relating to items sold or scrapped.

  4. c) After providing for depreciation and obsolescence on bases and at rates calculated to reduce the net book amount of each asset to its estimated residual value by the end of its probable useful life in the TFA’s business. In this respect we are satisfied that the probable useful lives have been realistically estimated.

  5. The TFA has not contracted for any capital expenditure other than as disclosed in the financial statements.

Stock and Work in Progress

  1. The TFA had no stocks or work in progress at the balance sheet date.

Other Current Assets

  1. On realisation in the ordinary course of the TFA’s business the other current assets in the balance sheet are expected to produce at least the amounts at which they are stated. In particular, adequate provision has been made against all amounts owing to the TFA which are known, or may be expected, to be irrecoverable.

LIABILITIES

General

  1. All liabilities have been recorded in the accounting records, including the liability for all purchases to which title has passed prior to the balance sheet date and for all items included in stock.

Reservation of Title

  1. Having regard to the terms and conditions of sale imposed by all major suppliers of goods including fixed assets, the trade creditors at the balance sheet date include no significant amounts resulting from the purchase of goods on terms which include reservation of title by suppliers.

Provision for Losses

  1. Appropriate provisions have been made for all significant losses capable of being estimated with reasonable accuracy which are now expected to result from commitments, contingent liabilities and other events which occurred by the balance sheet date.

Contingent Liabilities

  1. All material contingent liabilities have been appropriately disclosed in the financial statements other than those where the possibility of losses arising therefrom is remote.

  2. All known actual or possible litigation and claims whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements have been disclosed to you and accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practices, (“UK GAAP”).

  3. We have no plans or intentions that may materially affect the book value of any assets or liabilities.

RESULTS

  1. Except as disclosed in the financial statements, the results for the year were not materially affected by transactions of a sort not usually undertaken by the TFA, circumstances of an exceptional or non-recurring nature, or charges or credits relating to prior years.

EVENTS SINCE THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

  1. There have been no events since the balance sheet date which require disclosing or which would materially affect the amounts in the financial statements, other than those already disclosed or included in the financial statements.

GENERAL

Completeness of Information

  1. All accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination of financial statements in accordance with your terms of engagement and that all transactions undertaken by the TFA have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.

Compliance with Regulations and Contractual Agreements

  1. We are not aware of any possible or actual instance of non-compliance with those laws and regulations which provide a legal framework within which the TFA conducts its business and which are central to the TFA’s ability to conduct its business, except as explained to you and as disclosed in the financial statements.

  2. The TFA has complied with all aspects of agreements that would have a material effect on the financial statements in the event of non-compliance. In particular, there have been no defaults in respect of any loan agreements.

Related Party Transactions

  1. We are aware that a related party of the TFA is a person or organisation which either (directly or indirectly) controls, has joint control of, or significantly influences the TFA or vice versa and, as a result, will include members (as a guide, more than 20% of the voting rights), trustees, other key management, close family and other business interests of the aforementioned. We confirm that there were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 March 2023.

  2. All related party relationships and transactions have been accounted for and disclosed in accordance with UK GAAP.

The TFA has had, at no time during the year, any arrangement, transaction or agreement to provide credit facilities (including advances and credits granted by the TFA) for the trustees, nor to provide guarantees of any kind on behalf of the trustees.

Going Concern Basis

  1. Having considered our expectations and intentions for the next 12 months and the availability of working capital, the TFA is a going concern.

Accounting Estimates

  1. Significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.

We confirm that the above representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and expertise (and, where appropriate, of supporting documentation) sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can properly make these representations to you and that to the best of our knowledge and belief they accurately reflect the representation made to you by the trustees in the course of your examination of financial statements.

Yours faithfully

Signed on behalf of the trustees by:

17/12/2023
