Sherburn House Charity Section 2 Board of Trustees' report and operating and financial review
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The Charity is a registered Charity under the Charities Act 2011 and is regulated by its Articles of Association. The Charity is also registered with Homes England as a Social Landlord under Section 1(2) of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. This status is further clarified in note 1 to the financial statements.
At the quarterly Board meetings, the Trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the company, including sheltered housing and residential care for older people, estate and property matters, personnel policies, grant making, finance, investment, reserves, risk management policies and health and safety.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Prior to any recruitment, the Chairman undertakes a skills gap analysis in order to find individuals with the skills and knowledge required to support the charity in its current work.
Applications to become a Trustee are welcomed from any individual who meets the recruitment criteria and can empathise with the objectives of Sherburn House Charity.
Applicants are given details of the history of the charity and the work we currently undertake, and they are supported to understand the governance requirements and what is expected of them in their role as a Trustee. Candidates meet with the Chief Executive initially to discuss the work of the charity and to discuss the requirements of the vacancy, if they decide to proceed to apply, they are interviewed by the Chair, who then makes a recommendation for the appointment to the board. Potential Trustees are invited to observe the next board meeting and are appointed at the end of the meeting if they still wish to proceed, and the trustees are happy with the proposal to appoint them. Trustees are appointed for a period of three years, with an option to extend by up to three more years. After a 6-year continuous term, a compulsory one-year break may be followed by a final three years.
Induction and training of trustees
Potential Trustees undertake a full induction and references, and DBS checks are taken up prior to their appointment. New Trustees receive a copy of the “Essential Trustee” and all Governance policies and procedures. All Trustees operate in a voluntary capacity and receive no benefits from the Charity. All expenses re-claimed from the charity are set out in the financial statements.
Remuneration Policy
Sherburn House Charity is committed to ensuring a proper balance between paying our staff fairly so that we attract and retain the best people for the job and careful management of our charity funds. In so doing we will ensure the greatest effectiveness in delivering our charitable objectives and meeting the needs of our beneficiaries.
Sherburn House Charity will seek advice on remuneration from various sources, for comparable examples of posts within the care sector.
Sherburn House Charity commits to maintaining an open and honest policy on remuneration to assure its stakeholders and service users of the financial priorities of the charity.
A report on the actual remuneration and expenses received by the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team are prepared annually as part of the statutory accounts. Information is contained in Note 7 Employee Information.
In accordance with the Charity Commission’s Statement on Recommended Practice 2019 (SORP) and guidance contained within the National Council for Voluntary Organisations’ ‘Report of the Inquiry into Charity Senior Executive Pay’, Sherburn House Charity will include or disclose the following in its Annual Report and Accounts:
-
a statement that summarises this remuneration policy
-
any payments made to trustees
-
the number of staff receiving more than £60,000 salary, in bands of £10,000
-
a summary of pensions and other benefits receivable by staff
-
any ‘cost of living’ changes to the payroll for all staff along with a brief justification of any such changes
Board of Trustees' Meetings
The Board of Trustees meet quarterly and at the meeting scheduled for 12 September 2023 the Trustees will be invited to:
-
(a) Consider the Annual Trustees' Report (comprising the Board of Trustees' Report and Operating and Financial Review) for the year ended 31 March 2023; and
-
(b) Approve the Statement of Trustees on internal financial controls (page 6) and the financial statements (page 11 onwards).

Control
The Board of Trustees retains responsibility for a defined range of areas covering strategic, operational and financial elements.
The Board of Trustees has put in place an organisational structure which clearly defines lines of responsibility and delegations of authority. These are found in the Charity's financial regulations, standing orders, treasury management and risk management arrangements.
Information Reporting Systems
Financial reporting systems include regular reviews of an overall financial business plan, preparation of detailed annual budgets and the production of detailed monthly management accounts. These are prepared by the Executive Team and are considered and approved by the Board of Trustees.
Monitoring
A process of regular management monitoring on control issues provides assurance to senior managers and to the Board of Trustees. This includes a rigorous process for ensuring that corrective action is taken in relation to any significant control issues.
Risk Management
The Charity has a comprehensive risk management strategy which identifies risk management responsibilities. Risk management arrangements identify risks facing the Charity, the actions in place to mitigate these risks, the officers responsible for each risk and the monitoring arrangements.
The Board of Trustees has examined the major strategic and operational risks which the Charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
Objectives and activities
Our Strategic goals are split into our 3 main activities:

Our Core Values of: Integrity, quality, care, dignity and respect, will influence the work we do and our attitudes to each other.
Public Benefit

Achievements and Performance
Chair's Report
The accounting period is our first operating under the new charitable Company status. Thankfully, despite the complexities of the transfer to the new company it has remained business as usual at an operational level. I am ever grateful for the support and loyalty of my fellow Trustees, now also known as Directors of the Charity, who give up their own time to provide strategic guidance and support to the charity as it continues its journey of continuous improvement and modernisation. This year we welcome new trustee, Laura Devaney, the board. Laura’s skills and experience compliment those of our current board members and we all look forward to working with her in the future. Our 2019-23 Five Year Plan has come to a successful conclusion this year. The timescale covers a major governance restructure and significant refurbishment and improvements to current properties and our goals and aspirations have been incorporated into our plan for next five year period. Thanks to everyone who plays a part in this great organisation.
Chief Executive's Report March 2023
There was a good all round performance for the charity during the final year of the five year plan. The significant investment in improving the housing and residential service has paid off as both have operated at full capacity during the reporting period.
During the year April 2022 - March 2023, over 600 individuals benefitted from Sherburn House Charity Relief in Need grants, currently managed for us by County Durham Community Foundation, . 20% of the grants supported people with mental health issues, and just under 10% supported victims of crime or abuse. Health issues (including serious illness), domestic violence and poverty were the main issues affecting applicants. 40% of the primary beneficiaries of such grants were children and young people.
As always, the staff team worked extremely hard to make this a successful year, not only in financial terms, but also in regards to the improvements to our systems and processes, all of which were well tested by the different regulators and external auditors. A “Good” CQC inspection report was well received, the team have done terrifically well across the board.
Plans for the Future
The new Five Year Plan has been adopted by the Trustees for the 2023-28 period.
We have consolidated the strategic aims into three main strands and the objectives for the year ahead are incorporated into the table below.

In addition to the operational objectives, the trustees will review the governing document to ensure the charitable aims remain relevant for our beneficiaries. The trustees and I are excited to explore opportunities for further growth and development to ensure the charity works to its full potential.

The overall surplus for the period of £452,829, contained a deficit on the housing (sheltered accommodation) of -£3,933 (2022: deficit -£32,687).
Financial Review
The principal accounting policies are set out on pages 14 to 19 of the financial statements. These have been approved by the Board of Trustees.
Unrestricted funds Policy
The Unrestricted funds are to be used for the Charity's general charitable purposes. A reserve of £500,000 has been agreed as being an appropriate level, which equates to approximately three months of expenditure. The level of these funds will be reviewed each year as part of the budgeting process.
Unrestricted funds at 31 March 2023 totalled £1,129,047, which included designated funds of £1,382,570 relating to Homes England Grants. The Charity aims to build back it's General undesignated funds to a value of £500,000, with any funds in excess of this utilised to support the operating and development activities of the Charity. Unrestricted funds increased in the year by £103,070
A transfer of £350,000 from the Charity's Unrestricted funds to it's Extraordinary repair fund has been made, largely reflecting the positive contribution made by the Care Home in the year, following the major refurbishment of Beddell House.
Investment Policy
In accordance with the regulatory scheme, the Board of Trustees has the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property, as they see fit. The Board of Trustees has engaged Brewin RBS Dolphin Limited and UBS Wealth Management as Investment Managers to manage the investment portfolios on a discretionary basis within certain parameters for asset classes.
The Board of Trustees reviewed the Charity's investment principles in February 2009, and this was also reviewed again in 2019-20.
Similarly, the Board of Trustees engaged GSC Gray's, Chartered Surveyors, to manage the investment properties and the investment properties were subject to their independent property valuation as at March 2023.
Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed Assets owned by the Charity were subject to an independent property valuation as at 31 March 1996.

Statement of Board of Trustees on internal financial controls
Statement of Board of Trustees on internal financial controls
The Board of Trustees acknowledges its overall responsibility for establishing and maintaining the whole system of internal control and reviewing its effectiveness.
The system of internal control is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks by the Charity is ongoing and has been in place throughout the period commencing 1 April 2022 up to the date of approval of the report and financial statements.
Key elements of the control framework and sources of assurance include:
-
Clearly defined management responsibilities for the identification, evaluation and control of significant risks;
-
Internal audit reports;
-
Risk management reports;
-
Performance reports;
-
External audit reports;
-
Robust strategic and business planning processes, with detailed financial budgets and forecasts;
-
Formal recruitment, retention, training and development policies for all staff;
-
Established authorisation and appraisal procedures for significant new initiatives and commitments;
-
Regular reporting to the appropriate committee on key business objectives, targets and outcomes; and
-
Board of Trustees' approved whistle-blowing and anti-fraud policies covering prevention, detection and reporting, together with recoverability of assets.
There were no attempted or actual frauds during the year that required reporting to the Homes England.
The Board of Trustees cannot delegate ultimate responsibility for the system of internal control, but it can, and has, delegated authority to the Executive Team to regularly report on the effectiveness of the system of internal control.
Key policies and procedures have been established and are designed to provide effective internal control.
These key areas cover control, information reporting systems, monitoring and risk management.
Fundraising disclosures
The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.
Use of Volunteers
The charity has not used volunteers during the period

Independent auditors' report to the Board of Trustees of Sherburn House Charity
(a registered Social Landlord Under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Sherburn House Charity (the "charity’) for the period ended 31 March 202 3 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activies, Balance Sheet, 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), adapted to include additional disclosures required by the Housing SORP 2018 and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2019.
In our opinion the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period 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.
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 charity 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statemets were 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 trustees are 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. The board is responsible for the other information. 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.
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.

Independent auditors' report to the Board of Trustees of Sherburn House Charity
(a registered Social Landlord Under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008)
Opinion 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 period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and
- the Trustee's Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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 where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specifies by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Board of Trustees’ Responsibilities (set out on page 7), the trustees 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 trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’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 association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor 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.

Sherburn House Charity Section 5
Independent auditors' report to the Board of Trustees of Sherburn House Charity
(a registered Social Landlord Under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008)
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
• Enquiries with management, about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
-
Reviewing board minutes;
-
Reviewing the published Care Quality Commission reports;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates; and
• Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias
Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Health and Safety; employment laws; compliance with Care Quality Commission; and compliance with the UK Companies Act and Charities Act.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of Our Report
This report is made solely to the charitable companies trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Sherburn House Charity Section 9 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
1.1 Status of Charity
Sherburn House Charity is a company limited by guarantee which was incorporated on 08.02.18, company number 11196374, and is registered with the Charity Commission, number 1177535. On 01.10.21 all the activities and commitments of the unincorporated charity (Sherburn House Charity 217652) were transferred to the incorporated Charity, along with it's assets and liabilities at their balance sheet values. The incorporated Charity is the reporting charity for the Unincorporated charity (217652) to which it is linked.
1.2 Donation from Unincorporated Charity (217652)
The total net assets transferred on 01.10.21 from the unincorporated Charity (217652) amounted to £34,534,948, which was comprised of £33,288,948 Endowment funds, and £1,246,000 Unrestricted funds.
2 Accounting Policies
2.1 Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 and are adapted to include disclosures required by the accounting by registered social housing providers 2018, and accounting direction for provate registered providers of social housing - 2019.
2.2 Basis of Preparation
The Charity remains registered with Homes England as a social landlord under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, as a small part of its activities are housing activities as defined in that Act. As most of the activities of the Charity are not housing activities, the Charity has applied the Charities SORP (FRS102) in preparing it's accounts, with some amendments to include additional requirements for Homes England. The application of the Charities SORP (FRS102) is also required by the Charity Commission direction dated 08.12.21.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain Tangible Fixed Assets, Investment Properties and the Investment Portfolio. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The financial statements include the income and expenditure and assets and liabilities of its associated charity, The Sherburn House Educational Foundation (Registered No. 527325).
The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity ('PBE') as defined in FRS 102.
These financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity.
The trustees have prepared budgets and forecasts which give them adequate comfort that the charity is a going concern. Therefore the trustees are of the view that the charity has sufficient resources for at least the next 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements. As a result, the charity’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
2.3 Finance
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that any capital expenditure incurred on housing activities referred to in note 2.4 will be either grant aided, funded by loans, or where appropriate, financed from the Charity's non-housing resources.
2.4 Social Housing Grants (SHG)
SHG's are made by Homes England and are utilised to reduce the amount of mortgage loans approved for SHG to a level that can be financed from the equivalent fair rental income available. The grants are made direct to the lending authority and are reflected in the Charity's accounts only when payment has been made and the relevant mortgage loan reduced.
Under the Charities SORP (FRS102), grants are taken to income.
Page 14
Sherburn House Charity Section 9 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
2.5 Estimation uncertainty and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations or future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are considered to be no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies which effect the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
2.6 Income
Charitable Activities
The rents of the housing stock and Care home fees are recognised at the point of being invoiced.
Donations
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment Income
Variable Royalties and Wayleaves are recognised when the Charity is informed of their values in June and December by Breedon Northern Limited.
Investment income from the portfolios is recognised when receivable.
2.7 Expenditure
Charitable Activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support Costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance Costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.
2.8 Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
2.9 Fixed Assets: Land and Buildings
Land and buildings at Sherburn House Charity related to the housing activities are reflected in the financial statements at their 'deemed cost' (based on a valuation prior to the transition to FRS102) as the original costs are not available.
Improvements to the properties are stated at cost or valuation.
The Charity provides accommodation for older people with care needs, in the form of sheltered housing accommodation and a residential care home. These properties have been held by the Charity for many years and have attracted SHG assistance in the past.

Sherburn House Charity Section 9 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
2.10 Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are written off over their estimated useful life, net of estimated disposal proceeds (that may be nothing).
Land:
Land is not depreciated, except for car park land which is depreciated at 10% on cost.
Buildings:
-
(a) Depreciation is fully charged on cost; and
-
(b) A charge is made to the income and expenditure account at 2% - 5% per annum of such cost.
Furniture, Fittings, Equipment and Vehicles: Equipment 10% - 20% of cost Computer equipment 25% of cost Vehicles 20% of cost Furniture and fittings 10% of cost
Property, Plant & Equipment : Housing activities
Up to 31.03.18 the total value of certain buildings utilised within the housing function of the Charity were depreciated at 2% per annum. In line with FRS 102 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): accounting by registered social housing providers 2018 (8.16), an analysis of these buildings was undertaken in the year ended 31.03.19. The following components were established, and associated annual depreciation rates have been applied since:
Structure 1% of cost Roof 3.3% of cost Kitchen / Bathroom / Mechanical Systems / Electrics 5% of cost
SHG Assisted Schemes
The development cost of improvements to the housing property would include the following, as appropriate:
-
a) Cost of acquired land and buildings;
-
b) Development expenditure;
-
c) Interest charged on the mortgage loan raised to finance the scheme; and
-
d) Amount equal to the acquisition and development allowances receivable.
These costs are termed ''qualifying costs'' by Homes England for approved Housing Association grant schemes and are considered for mortgage loans by the relevant lending authorities and are not resourced from the Charity's reserves.
All invoices and architects' certificates relating to capital expenditure incurred in the year at gross value before retention are included in the accounts for the period, provided that the date of issue or valuation is prior to the period end. Related mortgage advances receivable from the lending authorities are also included.
If certain SHG scheme expenditure does not qualify for Social Housing Grant, it is, nevertheless, capitalised and an equivalent amount is transferred from accumulated surplus to a property equity account.
Interest on the mortgage loan financing a development is capitalised up to the relevant date of interim HAG application. Interest on the residual mortgage loan after this date is charged to a separate revenue account. Relevant interim dates for each scheme are determined by the Department of the Environment in in accordance with guidelines set down from time to time.
Housing land and buildings currently comprise 30 units located at Thornley House, Ferens House and the the various units at Sherburn Hospital.
2.11 Fixed Assets: Equipment and Vehicles
Equipment and vehicles are capitalised in the Balance Sheet at cost.

Sherburn House Charity Section 9 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
(continued)
2.12 Investment Portfolio
The investment portfolio, comprising listed investments and cash deposits, is stated at mid-market value. Profit / loss on the sale of investments is calculated on the basis of sale proceeds less book value at the point of disposal.
2.13 Investment Properties
The Board of Trustees has separately identified those properties that are held for their investment potential rather than for direct use within the Charity.
In accordance with FRS102 17.16, investment properties are revalued as at the 31 March each year and the aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to an Investment Revaluation Reserve.
No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties.
2.14 Pension Costs
The Charity operates a money purchase defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to this scheme are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account in the period to which they relate. These contributions are invested separately from the Charity's assets.
2.16 Grants: Relief in Need
The Charity entered into an arrangement with County Durham Community Foundation for them to administer Grants on its behalf to Organisations and to Individuals, running for one year from 1 April 2022. The full cost of this commitment has been included in the results for the year ended March 2023.
Page 17
Sherburn House Charity Section 9 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
2.16 Trade Debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
2.17 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
2.18 Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.19 Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
2.20 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
2.21 Stocks
Stock is held at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The net book value of:
Land contains £300,000 (2022: £300,000) which represents the value of land that is not depreciated; and Buildings contains £2,485,429 (2022: £2,570,700) attributable to housing activities.
There is no record of the historical cost of the land and buildings held at deemed cost due to the length of ownership.
The freehold land and buildings were valued by Taylors, Chartered Surveyors, in October 1996 on an existing use basis.
The Charity has adopted the transitional rules of Financial Reporting Standard Number 15 and hence, the valuation will not be updated in future years having adopted the value as deemed historic cost.
Capital Commitments
The Board of Trustees had authorised a capital expenditure budget of £167,300 for the year 2023/24, of which £167,300 is un committed as at 06 September 2023.
