WATERMOOR HOUSE R C H
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGusf2025
After a challenging year in 2024, Watermoor House set its targets for this ye8r as one of change under the
leadership of our new Home Manager, who we welcomed to Watermoor House at the start of this finanaal year. She
was strongly sUPPOrted by our Business & Operations Manager, who joined Walemioor House in thè prèviou3
quarter. Our high-level organi3alional goals werè to reverse the previous year's low occupancy ratès and reboot our
company culture to drive both operational improvements and finanaal recovery.
We knew these were ambrtious goals that would require strong leadership. persistence, and refom across all
aspects of our opÈrations. Throughout all this, we were determined lo maintain a caring, homely. happy atmosphere
for Watemioor House residents and we are proud to have achieved this.
Administrative improvements achieved induded more nuanced assessment of residents, care need3 prior lo
admission, tightening of financial controls, changing stsff training practices to indude more engaging and hands-on
training methods and upskilling in areas such a5 dementia management and assessment of mental capaaty,
improved staff induction and updating, then embedding in many of our poliaes.
Our new Kitchen Manager led a resel of staff worf(ing pra¢tice5 for our catering and improved per50nalisalion of
menus to ensure they better meet the individual and varied needs and preferences of our residents. We introduced
more visible trustee involvement and built doser relats'onships wth local heaych professionals such as
Gloucestershire County Council departments dealing care and support for older people and local GP5 and
introduced regular Saturday friends & farnity coffee momings for residents, their friends and family members,
trustees and other volunteers and management to mix in an informal setting.
As anticipated, some staff had difficuttie$ adjusting to these changes but through trustees and management working
t¢gelher wich staff, we have begun to effect real changes in the way Vvatermoor House works. The use Of agency
stsff for resident care has reduced to near-zero levels. occupancy rates gradually increased in the year as did our
financial outtum, significantly reducing the previous year's deficits. We recognise that we still have a way to go to
achieve the balan￿ of residents required to consistenuy generate ongoing surpluses so that we ¢an build reserves
and invest in renovations of our beautiful Grade 11 listèd premises and gTounds.
We have made a start on these this year as well. Redecoration of our dining room was completed in February with
minimal disruption to residents. routines. who now enjoy thè lighter, brighter ambience for meals.
An arèa in which Watemioor House has exeelled for many years is end of lif& carÉ. W& moved to elevate this by
seeking Gold Standard recognition. Led by our new Home Manager who brought expertise in this area, more fomal
training across management and stsff was carried out with extensive dowmentation of the outstanding end of life
care d¢livered. We now offer a comfortable, welcorning family room for use by rtlatsves to enable them to remain
ose lo residents during their final days. We await our assessment and achievement of the Gold Standard next
year.
Through all this change, making daily living enjoyable, stimulating and safe for residents continued as usual. Our
de programme of in-house activities led by our in-house actiwties coordinators plus entertainers and
volunteer5 from the comrnunity, specialist exercise & fitness professionals for physitsl stimulation in a fun setting,
celebrations of seasonal festivals and residents, birthdays, local OLrtings and parbcipation in community events is
described more fvlly in the Achievement and Performan¢e Section below.
Finally, we wish thank residents and their loved ones for all the support they have given us this past year, and we
look forward with optimism forthe coming year wth them.

Achievèments and perfomiance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
W8termoor House RCH subsidises the fees for a significant proporbon of residents who are funded by Social
Serwces., well over 40% of residents throughout this year. Additionally, with no discrimination between fvll fe
paying dients and others, additional special needs such as a55iSted activities, accompanied transport to medical
appointments, spacial diets and assisted feeding are provided at no charge regardle55 of fee status.
We hav¢ continued to provide a varied and busy activitès schedule to meet the needs and interests of all our
residents well beyond the levels required for adequate care at no charge regardless of fee status. Our dedicated,
qualified activities teorn, together with other members of staff, identify activitle5 to meet the different interests of our
residents. Thruughout this year they havè worked wth our extemal activities partners and volunteers from the
communty lo provide enrichment, stimulation, social interaction and mu¢h joy and laughter amongst residents.
Our regular actiwts'es ranged from our adapted yet lively in4)ouse phy8i¢al games and amichair exerasès to suit all
ability levels to weekly topical discussion groups and aftemoon filrn 5creenings', from the weekly board games. card
games and word garnes sessions to Zoolab visits bringing exotic but tame animals for residents lo hold and interact
th, including birds of prey and snakes. Less exotic bL5t still sociable ail d stirriLJlating are card games and themed
craft sessions, through lo interactive musical entert3inments, sing-along sessions and even a magic sh¢)w. Our
speaal eelebr3tions, activities and meals to mark seasonal holidays have been highlights throughout this year,
including our commemoration of Remembrance Day, Easter, Halloween and, of course, Christmas complete w((h an
in-house panto.
Other regular activities include outings to places of lo¢al interest, joining in church and other community acivities.
serapb¢¢k rnaking recalling old memories and recording new ones, crafting individualised fJ¢¢r de¢or¥lions,
Chri51rnas decorations for residents, rooms and Christmas table decorations.
staff continue to provide 1-tO-1 in-room activty sessions for those who cannot or choose not to join group activrties.
Ea¢h residenys birthday is celebrated. We enjoyed several 1 OOth- and more than 100th- birthday parties this year
wrth family members and friends from both in outside the Home.
The Board monit¢rs performance across all the Home's endeavours. firstly through monthly House and Business
reports to set formats. These routinely report and tra¢k ¢ccupancy, enquiries, staff levels, sid(ness and agency
US8ge, training, any complaints or reportablè inadenls, quality audits, finanaal perfomiance, business and
marketing activity.
The Home's management regularfy ask residents to contribute thèir vièws, ttither through resident meetings which
are open to sll residents and one-to-one sessions with residents individually.
Our financial perfom)anee is highly geared to the level of room occupancy. Increasing overall occupancy whilst
improving quality standards has been a key strategic target for Watem)oor Htsuse this ye8r. We monitor this as
described above to provide us with an ongoing rneasure of marketing and operational performance which, in a time
of natural change in OUT permanent residents, is a measure of the effectiveness of aur eharity's strategy. Our
finanaal position this year has improved markedly from increased occupancy levels, Ihgugh not as rapidly as we
wislTr.ed. The proportions of privataly fu4dad and local authorty funded residents have rernained stubbomly liY(ed
towards a higher proportion of local authority funded residents than that set by our strategic targets. While our
overall finan￿81 turnaround this year has been extremely positive, the impact of these two key occupancy measuros
slowed il down. However. tre trend is very positive and we expect on our overall finan￿31 recovery to continue in
the coming year.

Flnaneial r8view
202412025 has béen another difficult year, but the New Horne Manager and Business Manager, recruited during the
p￿vIouS finanrAal year, have made remarkabl¢ progress in luming around the finanaal situation for the Companyl
Charity.
Income for the year has been increased by £21 Ok lo £1,745k. This was achieved through improved levels of
occupancy, an infjation•based increase in the fees charged to private residents and ensuring that fees for ¢ouncil
funded residents faidy.'eflected the care needs of the resident.
The management team also made excellent progress in controlling costs whilst achieving the higher oecupancy
levels. This was achieved alongsidé over811 expenditure for the year. 1£1,750kl being only £8k10.SQAI higher than
total expenditure in tre previous financial year.
Vllhilst there is sb'll some way to go before the Charity achièves its tsbjèctive of generating the annual surplus
necessary to ensure a sustainablè finanaal fLrture for the Charity, the reduct'on of £205k in the annual deficlt {£209k
in 202312024., £4k in 2024120251 15 a remad(able athievement by the whole team at Watemoor House RCH.
Tho ne interest loan agreements Mrith the private b8nefa¢tor remain in place.
The coming finan￿31 year wll (xjntynue to be challenging as the team strive to cot)troJ ctssts 8n(J to maintaintJntrèa$é
occupancy levels whilst also increasing the ratio of privatety funded residents to councAI funded residents.
Going concern
hilst major progress h85 been made towards ensuring the ftrtUTe financial viability of the charity much work still
needs lo be done.
Targets for total occupancy levels and the ratio C>f privately funded residents have been set and are being wothed
towards. It is anticipatèd the ¢hange to a higher proportion of privately ￿nded residents will initially result in lower
levels of oe(yJpancy. Vthen a resident leaves Watenroor House it is relativety straighrforward to find a council
funded resident, but private residents take longer to find and often take several weeks to make the necessary
arrangements re their current accommodation and finan¢es before they a￿ ready to m¢ve in.
We are extremely gratefijl that our current benefactor has agreed to continue finanung the charity during thi$
ongoing transition.
Trust&es are also aware that addits'onal investment is required if the property is to be adequately maintained and
pd8led lo reflect increased expectat'ons, espeaally of privately funded residents. To this end the trustees ¥rtr
actively working on identifying works, costs and altemative sources of funding.
th the improvements already rnade year on year, plans for the current year, the support of our current benefactor
and the research into alternative fvndingfinvestment streams the trustees are confident that Watermoor House can
continue as a going concem.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have examined the requirement for free resetves, which are those unrestricted fvnds not invested in
fixed assets or designated for speC￿fIC purpo￿￿. The Trustee5 ￿nSider that, as a minimurn, they should aim for free
reserves of £200,000. However, in the finanaal year under rewew, it has despite the very significant irnprovements
not been p055ible to elirninate the need for loan support or ￿eate reserve5.
However, the increase in the borrowing requirementldeficAt at the year-end has been significandy reduced (Just an
additional £4k for the yearl. The next two years wll see Some restructuring lo financing and (i is anticipated that in
addition to investing the buildings a start wll be made in ￿eatIng the rArca £200k ffnanryal reserves necessary for
the long-term finanaal viability of the Companylcharity.
Investment policy
Under the Artides of Association, the TrusteeslDirectors have the power to invest in any way they think fit. The
Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that a balaneèd portfolio
of specialised unit trusts, designed for the charty section, would meet their requirements lo generate both income
and capital growth. The Trustees mon(tor market changes but still ¢onsider this type of invèstment portfolio will be
the most appropriate strategy for investing the Company's reserves.

Basis for opinion
We conducted Dur audit in accc*rdance with Intemati()nal Stsndards on Auditing (u￿ IISAS lu￿) and applicable

Stsndard, and we hève fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance ￿rith these requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffiaent and appropriate lo pro￿de a b8S15 for our opinion.
Matsrial uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to the Statement of Financial Actiwties on page 11 which Tecords a deficff of £4,319 for the year
to 31 August 2025, compared to a deficit of £208,985 in the previou5 accounting year, and lo the Statement of
Financial Position on page 12 which records net current liabilities of £175,966. The charitable company has used its
brought forward reserves to fvnd this defiat and have been tsbliged to continue loan funding both for wod(ing capital
and on a bridying basis arxoss the year under report.
The trustees have acknowledged the financial position and prowded their explanation of the causes of the deficit
and have outlined the steps that have been taken. and are being tsken. to improve the company's finan¢ial position.
They eondude that the charity can ￿nb"nue lo operate as a going concem.
The existen￿ of recent economic challenges outside of the trustees, control, induding the speafic challenge of
increasing occupancy rates lo the point that the charitable company retums to regular surplus and positive cashflow
indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concem basis of
a￿untIng in the prtpafytion of the finanryal ststemenls is appropriate.

our audit in accordance with auditing standards, one or more matèrial misstatements in the financial statements
may have gone undetected by our audbt. As wlh any audit, there is a high risk that irregularities and fraud will go
undete¢ted where they involve matters su¢h as rnisrepresentslions from management, collusion, deliberate
omissions and override of controls. It is not the role of the auditor to prevent non-compliance and we cannot be
expected to detèct every instance of noTrcompliance with all laws and regulab"ons.
In identifying and as8e551ng risks of maleThal misstatement in respect of irTegulariti&$, including fraud and non-
mpliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following..
enquiries of management induding a pre audit meèting.,
obtaining and rewewing supporting documentation of policAes concerning tre laws and regulations
applicable to the business,.
understsnding how the company complies with its regulatory framework by making enquiries of
management.,
considering the culture inherent in the ¢ompany and whether this represènts 8 culture of honesty and
ethical behaviour with a strong emphasis of detection and prevention Of fraud.
We assessed the susceptibility of the companvs finanrial statements to material misstatement and considered how
fraud might occur. The audrt prorEdures perfomed induded, but were not limited to..
challenging management 8ssiJrnplions and estimates.,
dent'fying and tèsting unusual journal entries.,
asse¥sing how the relevant laws and ￿gUlatiOns have been complied ￿rith and noting any instances of non
compliance.,
reviewing the finanaal st*emenls for compliance with relevantAccounting Standards and accounting
legislation appli¢able to a small company.,
considering how those charged with goveman¢e have addressed the possibility of an override of
essential controls or other Influen￿ over the finanaal reporbng processes.
In addition, we also considered other nDn financial laws relevant to the company. These do not necessarily have a
direct influence on the finanaal statements but rn19ht affect the company's ability to operate.
A futher description of our responsibilities is available on the Finano81 Reporting CouncAI's website at https.'Il
¥NMAy.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilib'es. This des¢ripknon fomis part of our auditorfs report.

Charity information
Vvatermoor House R C H is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and ￿les. The
registered office 1$ M&lemioor House, Vltrdtemioor Road, Cirencester, GIOu￿stershlre, GL7 1JR. United
King(50m.
1.1 Accounting ¢onvention
The financial ststements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the
Gornpanies Act 200S. FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended
Practice applicable lo tharities prèparing their accounts in accordance wth the Finanrial Reporting Stsndard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021" The Charity is a Public Benefit Entty as defined by
FRS 102.
The finanryal ststements are p￿parèd in sterting, whith is the fijnctional CAJrrency of the Charity. Mtsnetary
amounts in these financial statements are rtsunded to the nearest £.
The finanaal statements have been prepared under tt7e historical cost convention, mo(Jified to include certain
financial instruments al fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going con¢em
The lumaround in the charity's finanLYal performance during the yeaT 2024125 has been significant. Income
increased by £21 Ok, driven by fee increases and a strategic deu5ion to admit local 8ulhority-funded residents
rather than leaving Tooms vacant while waib.ng for privately funded residents-a process that typically tskes
longer.
stronger management practices also contributed signffiur)tly to this improvement, in parbcular. tighter cA)ntrol
over agency staff ￿dUCed costs from £51k in 2023124 to £18k in 2024125 and improved supplier agreements
delivered better value for money, with energy costs falling frorn £114k to £53k. As a result, this increase in
overall costs was limited lo £8k10.50AI year on year.
Reducing reliance on agency staff also had a positive impact on care delivery, providing residents wth greater
cAJntinuity through farniliar stsff.
though the foreeast surplus of £56k was not achieved. the near break-even result of a £4k defiat
demonst￿t¢S clear progress and indicates that the ¢ompany is on track to meet Its longer-ierm flnanclal
objectives.
Performance in 2025126 to the end of April has been disappointing. with a defiut of £41k compared w(Éh a
budgeted surplus f)f £17k This variance was driven by three main factors..
residents transitioning from privatè funding to local authority fvnding
a higher number of resident deaths due to ag&related factors (You will have noted in the Trustees,
report that a number of residents celebrated exceeding the age of 100.1
a proactive de¢isien to redu￿ vacancy levels by accep*ng more local authority-funded resldents.
resulting in a net income reduction of £68k from pemanent resident fees
Despite these thallenges, r￿n1 performan¢¢ has improved. Both Mar¢h and April recorded small trading
surpluses, and the c051 control measures introduced have delivered savings of £7k against budget to dale.
Vwiile progress in increasing o¢()Jpancy levels and improving the proportion of privately fvnded residents has
been slower than anticipated, the trustees are satisfied that both are trending in the right direction and will be
achieved.
Forecasts for 2026127 indicate an annu31 surplus of £32k. Continued extemal financial support has been
fomially agreed, and additional financAal re51nJcturing options are under consideration. These measures will
support completion ofthe recovery programme.
Accordingly, the trustees have prepared the financial statements on a goin9 eoncem basis.
