Objectives The Constitution sets out the objects of the Charity which are Yhe provision and maintenance of alms-houses to peop￿ of not W than 50 years of age wf(h a charitable need for housing, the majonty of whom ￿Ing on low incomes, and where preference is given to people vtho are bom in or are resKlent in the Parishes of Farlam, Brampton and WaRon'. Activities, malntenance and repairs The Charity has a policy of imw￿lng all properties to bring them up to a decerrt home standard and to keep contribut￿nS payable by the occupiers at an affordable level. Whenever a propety becomes vacant the policy is, where necessary, lo modemise the kitchen and bathroom arKI deal with any other defects, resources permitting. ific works carried o durin this rioda as follows:_ Re-roofin Watton Re-roofing of six homes at Waiton started in Juty 2021 and was completed in August 2021" this finalises all the re-rc(sfing of the day tiled Rosemary roofs of propeities bek)nging to the Charty wh￿h were highlighted in the previous quinquennk81 survey. 4 Station Road Ends. Corn lete refurbishment This derelict propety has been vacant for over 40 years, the Charity not having had the fijnds in previous years to complete the UF¥Jrading works required. Included in the refijrbishment is a new air source heat exchange, fulty insulated walls and undeffloor healing. The Almshouse Asscciation did not SUPFQrt a grant towards the costs ofthis work.. however. an interest free loan was secured for £25,000 {with a £1,250 arrangement fee) and received in June 2022. A small grant was obtained from the local Council's Empty Propety Department of £3,000, receNed in September 2022. The contractor began work in December 2021 and completed the renovalion in Juty 2022. 2 Wallon - Refurbishmenl This property became v&ant * the end of September 2021. At their October meeting the building su￿e0MMEttee recommended that a new kitchen vms all thal was required to enable the house to ￿ let quickty. The su￿)￿Mittee subsequerrtty recommended a full refurbishment. however, and a new Specif￿￿￿On for a full refurbishment was actioned including a new heat exchange unrt, undetknr heating and fulty insulated walls. The new specification went out to tender in May 2022 to six local contractors. uin uennial Surv A local building surveyor carried out inspectM)ns of all 45 properties over November and December 2021 the survey and report being recewed in January 2022. The report highlighted the fact that new windows would benefrt the hornes and improve the re$idenls' comfort.

uler U rade A new office computer was purchased and a new joint server system installed for the staff lo use. Financial Revlew All residents pay a stsndard Weekty Maintenance Contribution IWMC) which is below the fair renl set by the Valuation Office. The WMC is reviewed annualty. this year in March and as a resuit a £2 increase was applied lo hy￿bedrOoM houses in Brampton and village proFertFes for 2021-2022, effective from 1 June 2022. No inC￿aSe was applied lo one-bedroom properties in Brampton. This meant that the WMC for tWc￿bedr0OM properties in Brampton was increased from £8￿£91, one-bedroom propert￿$ in Brampton remained at £89 and the WMC for vilEage properties increased from £79-£81. This ensures that significant improvement works can be carried out and enables the Charity to provide adequate housing provision for future generations. Investment Pollcy The Trustees hold £44,200 in CCLA COIF funds of which £9.499 is an Endowment Fund. Reserves Policy The Trustees follow The Alrr&house Association's recommended minimum ani)unts for transfer to the Extraordinary Repairs Fund IERFI and the CycliGg1 Maintenance Fund {CMFI trM)th being designated funds. The Alms-house AssociatKsn also recommend5 allocating an annual sum to routine mainterbance but the Trustees do not o)nsider it to be necessary to estsblish this addttional fund. It is also recognised that rt is necessary to have sufficient funds in reserve to cover day to day expendf(ure especialty in the event that there is a reduction in the WMC following the departure of residents and before new residents are apwinted. A free reserve of £179,369.05 is thought to be sufficient for this purpose. This being the amount of the net current assets less those funds allocated for designated purposes {ERF, CMF) and the endowment funds which cannot be accessed.

Risk Factors The Trustees have examined the risks which The Charity faces and confimi that intemal systems, policies and procedures have been established to enable the Charity to funclion effectivety. The status ofthe Charrty as a CIO mrtKJates the risk to indNidual trustees. Plans for the Future The suggestions made in the quinquennial report will be considered and, as finances 811ow, irnplemented over time. As a p￿rty consideration will be grven to replacing the windows in all of the pro￿rtieS.
