We monitor this as described above and this provides us with an ongoing measure of markeling performance which in a lime of natural change in our pernianent residents is a measure of the effeclivene5s of our maykeling stralegy. Occupancy levels have reniained low in the curreiit year and this has impacted negatively on our overall financial performance.
WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H TRUSTEES REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Fliiancial review The year started willi an awareness thal Ihe deficit incurred in the previous year was not sustainable 8nd an acknowledgement tlial occupancy needed to be brought back lo pre-pandemic levels iii order to achieve annual surpluses. The recruilmenl of additional care staff was seen as essential to maintain levels of care as occupancy increased. In addition, the Hoine Manager was given extra support and eventually one lo one monitoring. However, recruitment was difficult. occupancy remained stubbornly low and tlie monthly deficits continued evenlLially lo the point where the Company required a bridging loan at the end of eacli Inonth. The BLisiness Manager resigned and a more experienced replacement was recruited, but still occupancy remained stubbornly low. Willi pressure Inounling the Home Manager struggled to cope with the situation, resigned and left tlie Coiiipany's einploy in June 2024. We were fortunate in beiiig able to recruit a Home Manager wilh a good track record of succes51ully running an independent care hoine ol a similar size, bLIt her notice commitment meant she was unable lo commence woi'k until Sepleinber 2024. The combinalion of the two new members of the Management Team working closely together lias finally re5ulled in recruilmenl targets being Imet and occupancy levels iiioving towards those enjoyed prior to the pandemic. Tlie Honie now has a higher number of stale funded residents bul the Home Manager has been successful in obtaining higher levels of fui)ding as a result of correctly identifying resident needs against Ihe council fee slruclure. The accumulated deficits of recent years will take some lime lo clear but il is anticipated Ihal the reqLiirement for loans will be eliminated by the end of the financial year 2025126. Tlie Trustees are immeiisely grateful lo the benefactor who has agreed to provide the loans required through an interest flee agreemeiit. Goliig concern Despite the difficulties of recent years, the trustees are confident Iliat the Company now tiirned the corner, has adequate plans and staff in place lo juslily continuing as a going conceTn. (see below) Financial resLilts since the Covid crisis and a failure lo increase occupancy to pi'e Covid levels wei'e causing considerable concern for Ihe lulufe viability ol Ihe Company. Recognisin9 thi5 and coiicerns over Ihe Imanagemenl of the Home, Iruslees recruited an experienced manager and set Ineasurable obieclives for the future. Increase occupancy to at least pre Covid levels Achieve month on month financial surpluses Return the Home to an overall CQC rating of'Good' Tlie new manager, after a short period of familiarisation and assessment of the issues, comirenced working towards achieving the objectives. Occupancy has since increased from 26 to 33 residents- jusl 1 short of pre Covid levels The Home Manager has, Ihrough carefully idenlifying residenls, needs, successfully accessed additional funding for suitable GCC funded residenls Witli increased occupancy and additional fuiiding for some GCC residents, fi113ncial resilieiice is steadily iiiiproving and in the lalesl managemenl information for financial year 2025, the Home has I'ècorded a financial surplus for the last four months Work on achieving a 'Good' rating fiom Ihe CQC has been progressing alongside Ilie above iinprovenients, but forinal iiispeclion by Ilie CQC lo review 11)e rating could not be carried out until after Ihe CQC liad officially processed Ilie applicalion for registT31ion of the iiew manager. This was IinaSised al the eiid of March 2025 and we await CQC'S decision on wlien an inspection will be carried out Dui'ing this period of cliange and recovery financial stability has been assured by securing the provision of an inlerest free loan and, as required, Interesl free bridging loans.
WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H TRUSTEES REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Reserves policy The TrLlStees consider that 11?ey should aim for free reserves of £200.000 as a minimum. Howevei., in the financial year uiider review, we have needed to draw heavily on our reseTves, sucli Ilial our free reserves dipped si9nificanlly below this level. As refÈrred to elsewhere in this report. occupancy rates are a key driver for our financial performance and their being much lower than our targeted occupancy in 2024125 led us lo draw on our reSees. Following a successful recruitinent strategy. vacancies have been filled to the extenl that they now retlecl normal staff luriiovei for the business and we have been able to focus on increasing occupancy. The Home Manager's experience and ability to access hi9lier levels of funding for GCC residents with additional iieeds and also enhanced contact willi olher cominissioning bodies has enabled tlie chai'ily lo sustain higher levels of touncil funded residents with a Tange of care requiremenls Enlianced flexibility in length of stays with respite care together with seasonal incentives has resulted in a number of respite residents becoming perinanenl and focused advertising, coupled with word of mouth recommendations has completed the package, resulting in a steady increase in levels of occupancy. At the year end, total funds were £602,448 (2023.. £812.516). The Truslees aim lo rebuild resetves from surpluses that we will accrue as we rebuild occupancy in 2025126. The current reserves policy is unchanged and will be reviewed once loans have been repaid and the charity is once again in a posilioii to invest for the futLire.

WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that, despite us planning and performing OLir audit in accordance with auditing slandard5, one or more material misslalemenls iii the financial slaleinenls may have gone undelecled by OLtr audit. As wilh any audit. there is a high risk Ihal irregularities and fraud will ga undelecled where they involve matters such as misrepresentations froin m2nagemenl, collusion, deliberale omissions aiid override of conlrols. 11 is not Ihe role of the aLidilor to prevent non-coinpliance and we cannol be expected lo delecl every inslance of iion-compliance with all laws and regulations. Iii identifying and assessing risks of material misslatemenl in respect of irregularities. including fraud aiid non- coinpliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the lollowing.. enquiries of management including a pre audit meeting., obtaining and reviewing supporting documentalion of policies concerning Ihè laws and regulation5 applicable to the business., underslaiiding how the coinpany complies with ils regulatory framework by making enquiries of management., considering the CLillure inherent in the company and whether this represents a culture of honesly and ethical behaviour with a strong emphasis of deleclion and prevenlion of fraud. We assessed Ihe s¢Jsceplibilily of the company's financial 51alemenls to Inalerial mis51ateinenl and considered how Iraud might occur. The audil procedures performed included, but were nol limited lo.. challenging managemenl assumptions and estimates: identifying and lesling unusual journal entries: assessing how the relevaiil laws and regLFlalions have been complied wilh and noting any instances of non compliance., reviewing Ihe financial statements for compliance with relevant Accounting Standards and accounting legislation applicable to a small company- considering how those charged with governan have addressed the possibility of an ovei'ride of essential conlTols or other influence over the financial reporling processes.

WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Accounting policies Charity information W31ermoor House R C H is 3 private company limiled by guarantee incorporated iii England and Wales. The registered office is Walermoor House, Walermoor Road, Cirencester, Glouceslershire, GL7 1JR, United Kingdoin. 1.1 Accountiiig convention The financial slateimenls have been prepared in accordance witli Ihe Cliarity's governing document, the Conipanies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Finaiicial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Ilie Charities SORP "Accounting and Repoiting by Charities.. Slateinent of Recominended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Fiiiancial Reporting Slandai'd applicable in the UK aiid Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" The Charity is a Public Benefit Enlily as defined by FRS 102. The financial slalemenls are prepared in sterling. which is the funclional Currency of 11)e Charity. Monetary ainounls in these financial slatemenls are rounded lo the iiearest £. The financial slalemenls have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified lo include certain financi81 instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted al'e sel out below. 1.2 Going concern During Ihe year income increased by £202K. Of this increase, £94K was froni piivale residents and was mainly from fee increases and f_108K was from Council funded residents of which Ihere was a sinall increase in rates paid by local authorities, but primarily this was due lo addilional residents. The difficully in recruiting staff (employee numbers were 46 for 2024 and SO for 2023), which severely impacted our ability to increase occupancy, also conlribuled significantly to cost increases being reslricled to £105K. In 2025, Ihe significant increase in the National Living Wage, the Nl rate increase and threshold reduction will pul pressure on finances. However, resolution of staff sliortages, increased occupancy and oblainiiig fees more appropriale to the level of care required for the local authorily-funded residents have resulled in consecutive surpluses during the firsl four months of 2025. A surplus of circa £56K is expected for the year 2025126. We al'e coiifi(Jent that our undeilying operational n)odel for resident fees, cost maiiagemenl and ensLiring resident welfare (always al the heart of what we do) will sland us in good stead as we go forward, despite the ongoing uncertainties arising from tlie p05t-Covid era and global economic factors outside Ihe cha¥ily's control. Tlie trustees have Ilierefore prepared the financial statements on a going coiicern basis. 1.3 Charitable funds Unresliicled funds can be used in accordance willi the charitable obiectives at the discretion of the trustees.
