## **THE UNITED CHARITIES OF ABEL COLLIN** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". ## **Objectives and activities** Originally founded by Will in 1704, the United Charities of Abel Collin (“the Charity”) owns 63 properties and a recreation hall, situated at Derby Road, Beeston, Nottingham. These provide homes for men and women aged 60 years and over of modest means who, at the time of their application, live within the City of Nottingham and the adjacent Boroughs of Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe. Within the charity’s overall purpose of providing housing for elderly people, the trustees’ aim is to maintain the properties and facilities to a modern standard of accommodation in order to create a secure and comfortable environment for residents. Trustees have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. This guidance has been referred to in the setting of objectives and operating and financial reviews include details of activities undertaken during the year in furtherance of those objectives. ## **Achievements and performance** A separate Administrator’s Report, outlining the charities operational matters throughout 2024, has been prepared and is attached with this report. The following is a brief summary: The homes modernisation and major works programme continued during the year, totalling £187k. This was an increase of £5k over the previous year. Trustees drew up a planned programme of major works to both grounds and properties, which has helped to re-invest in the charities’ infrastructure. General property refurbishment works have included kitchen and bathroom modernisation, total redecoration and replacement of front doors. Within the grounds, boundary works and major repairs to the front wall have been completed. The charity undertook its first Quinquennial Inspection in 2024, which raised some further matters to be addressed, and we carried out works to replace the soffits and fascias to some of the bungalows. For 2026 we will look to carry out pointing work to chimneys as was recommended. The breakdown of the 2025 spend is shown below: |The breakdown of the 2025 spend is shown below:|| |---|---| ||£’000| |Kitchens, wet rooms, refurbishments, boilers etc (capitalised)|164| |Other non-routne repair works etc. (treated as revenue repairs)|23| |Total|187| ## **Financial results and position** This year has produced a net income from activities of £15k whilst spending £310k on the properties and this is how we achieved it. |Capital

Other cash balances were held totalling £58k. ## **Funding sources** Residents contribute towards weekly maintenance and heating and lighting. The charity derives external income from letting of commercial property and from other financial investments and this funding is currently used to finance the existing residential property modernisation programme and other major items of expenditure. In order to finance the modernisation programme it was necessary sell investments of £150k during the year. ## **Reserves policy** Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of resources and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. Short-term requirement the charity has a regular 4-weekly income flow through its Maintenance Charge from its residents which normally covers the expenses but £60k is considered to be required to cover working capital needs for the next 12 months. ## **Designated Funds** ## **Modernisation fund** Funds are needed for modernisation of the homes, unexpected repairs which may occur and for repairs of a cyclical nature. When properties become vacant, they are reviewed for potential updating and redecoration. In the short term a sum of £125k is deemed to be necessary to cover this work and an additional £50k is needed to cover replacing boilers and extraordinary repairs. This makes a total of £175k. The Fixed Assets investments totalling £2,416k have been set aside to cover future modernisation and other costs. This makes a total of £2,591k held in the fund at the year end. ## **Homes fund** The charity is dependent on its Tangible Fixed Assets for the achievement of its charitable purpose of providing accommodation for people with limited means. These assets are vital to the work of the charity and cannot be sold off as individual units. At the year-end these were shown as having a book value of £xk. Free reserves at the year-end totalled £164k, being an adequate level for the charity's operations. ## **Investment policy** The overall investment objective is to produce ongoing income and long-term growth to enable the estate to be improved to meet the needs of future residents, within an acceptable level of risk. The target performance for the investments is to achieve a total return (Capital growth and Income) of the Consumer Price Index plus 3% over the long term. Quarterly valuations of stock market investments are prepared by our investment advisers, who attend meetings as and when required by the trustees. Since 1 January 2023 the fund has performed as follows: Total Return 19.8% Annualised Return 6.2% Annualised CPI 3.3% The investment property was revalued by Lambert Smith Hampton in October 2022 at £600,000. ## **Risk management** Risk Management forms an integrated part of our duties, and trustees regularly review risks to which the charity is exposed and put in place measures to mitigate. The Risk Management Plan is a dynamic and ever evolving document, and over the last twelve months the trustees have managed identified risks by increasing staff training and communications with residents, to ensure continued safety and awareness for all concerned. ## **Future Plans** The charities’ day to day work of maintaining modern comfortable living accommodation set within an independent and social environment, will continue to be a priority. In addition to this regular management regime trustees are also looking to the horizon of new opportunities, that will improve residents’ experiences of the homes and embrace the challenges of ever-changing environments both natural and financial.

The board of trustees meets a minimum of eight times a year. The main business focusses on reports from both the Administrator and the Independent Living Co-ordinator, together with a review of site and property management. Financial performance is reviewed on a quarterly basis, including investments. Residents’ meetings are facilitated by the Independent Living Co-Ordinator, both formal and informal. The Board welcomed Mr P Whittingham in February 2025, bringing additional housing sector experience and Ms A Evans in December 2025 bringing legal experience. One of the longest serving trustees, Mrs B Bennett, resigned from the board in March 2025. The charity employs two full time staff, who work closely with individual lead trustees and the board. In 2025 the Administrators’ focus has been to oversee the property and grounds maintenance contracts, seek new residents for voids and support the board and trustees. The Independent Living Co-Ordinator has focussed on developing a well-balanced activities and wellbeing programme for residents and overseeing resident welfare, including safeguarding. ## **Trustees** The trustees serving office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Co-optative Trustees |Co-optatve Trustees|| |---|---| |Ms M J Coward|Appointed untl November 2028| |Ms E Watson|Appointed untl February 2027| |Mr J Tank|Appointed untl January 2029| |Mr P Mellors|Appointed untl April 2029| |Ms J E Ellis (Chair)|Appointed untl April 2026| |Ms C Edwards|Appointed untl September 2027| |Mr J Douglas|Appointed untl July 2028| |Mr P Whitngham|Appointed untl February 2029| |Ms A Evans|Appointed untl December 2029| ## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** The trustees’ aim is to ensure that the trustee body combines an appropriately diverse membership with the professional skills suited to the work which it undertakes. The charity carries out a skills audit of current trustees which identifies knowledge gaps within the board and then actively takes steps to recruit new trustees accordingly. Induction and training ensures any newly appointed trustee become familiar with the work of the alms house movement, the role of trustee and the practical work of the charity. Mentoring, with both staff and established trustees, plays a key role in the induction. ## **Staff** The charity employs 2 FTE Staff. The Administrator, Mrs C Barrett, oversees the management of properties and grounds, day to day finances, servicing the board of trustees and selection of residents. The Independent Living Co-Ordinator, Ms S Collishaw, focusses on resident welfare, safeguarding and supporting independent living and the resident activity programme. Both staff are highly valued by trustees and have continued to receive positive feedback from residents. ## **Summary** In summary, 2025 has been another full, productive and rewarding year for The United Charities of Abel Collin. The board has welcomed two new trustees and one new resident into a newly refurbished homes on site. The activities programme is becoming increasingly more popular with residents, and trustees have supported various social functions throughout the year. Resident feedback has been helpful and positive, and new residents have blended well into our community. Trustees have continued to give their full support to the charity and to assist staff in specific areas of expertise. This is an invaluable asset and contributes immense value to the smooth running of the charity and ensuring its sustainability well into the future.
