Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The Broadway Cottages Trust CIO is registered with the Charity Commission number 1187568. The Trust was set up in 2020 with similar objectives and activities as Broadway Cottages Trust Charity Commission no 203763, and the assets and liabilities of Broadway Cottages Trust were transferred at the end of 30th June 2020 to the new Broadway Cottages Trust CIO.

Broadway Cottages Trust was created on 27th December 1943 by Alan Geoffrey Timpson and Mrs Ethel Beatrice Timpson.

Organisational structure

The Trustees let and otherwise manage the properties belonging to the Trust. After the payment of expenses, the net annual income of the Trust is to be applied in providing benefits to other charitable organisations.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Trustees

Management of the Trust is by the Board of Trustees. The membership of the Board during the period 1 April 2022 to 31st March 2023 is set out above. Trustees are invited to join the Board generally on the recommendation of existing Trustees.

Training of trustees

Although there is no formal training programme for the Trustees, all have relevant experience, together with many years' service in their position as Trustees.

Risk management

The Trustees review annually the major risks to which the charity is exposed, particularly those related to the operations and finances of the charity.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Trust are to alleviate and mitigate the hardships of people of limited means residing or who have resided in or near Kettering Northamptonshire or elsewhere in the United Kingdom by the provision of housing at rents within their means, and the provision of financial assistance to all such persons and other charitable institutions having similar objects as the Trustees may at their absolute discretion think proper.

Public benefit

The Trustees of The Broadway Cottages Trust understand the need to have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

The Trustees recognise their responsibility to ensure that the benefits offered by the Charity are realised by promoting the Charity within the county.

As disclosed in the aims and objectives, the organisation believes in being fair, open and inclusive.

Achievements and performance

The Trust properties are at full occupancy and the Trustees continue to endeavour to create a harmonious atmosphere for the residents. The Trust has invested in Solar panels for most of the properties, and is committed to substantial maintenance costs and improvement to the properties which has limited the ability to support other charitable organisations with the same or similar objectives.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Financial review

The funds of the Trust have been applied in maintaining the properties held by the Trust and making grants to organisations and individuals within the terms of the Trust.

After allowing for the assets transferred from The Broadway Cottages Trust, the net incoming deficit for the period was £6,218 (2022 - surplus £3,872) before realised and unrealised gains / (losses). However, after realised and unrealised losses, the net movement in funds was a deficit of £53,310 (2022 - surplus £58,046).

All the Trust's assets are held for the specific purposes of the Charity.

The Trustees consider the market value of the freehold land and buildings to exceed the balance sheet value, but do not consider the expense of obtaining a formal valuation to be justified as there is no intention to dispose of any of the properties in the foreseeable future. The buildings and contents are insured for £3,758,213 (2022 - £3,267,921).

The investments held by the Trust have been acquired in accordance with the powers of the Trustees.

Unrestricted funds at 31 March 2023 amounted to £1,152,612 (2022 - £1,094,566).

Reserves policy

The Trustees have reviewed the level of free reserves which are unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, held by the Charity. At the year end, free reserves far exceed the level of resources expended. At this level, the Trustees consider that in the short term, they have sufficient resources to be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a reduction in funding and to respond to any specific appeal by providing either interest free loans, substantial free loans or or substantial grants.

Investment policy

Brewin Dolphin has been authorised to manage the Trust's investments on a discretionary basis. The Trustees have continued to retain a large proportion of liquid funds to ensure that they are available to continue funding the existing requirements of the Trust.

Events after the end of the reporting period

The trustees' annual report was approved on 24 January 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Mr R M O Batty Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Broadway Cottages Trust CIO

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Broadway Cottages Trust CIO ('the Charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The Charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The address of the principal office is Wilson Browne Solicitors, Grange Park Court, Roman Way, Grange Park, Northampton, NN4 5EA.

2. Statement of compliance

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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 of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Page 9

The Broadway Cottages Trust CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Investments in associates

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Investments in joint ventures

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Charity are assigned to those units.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

Page 10

The Broadway Cottages Trust CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans (continued)

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
