The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The change of charitable status of the Foundation was completed in May 2021 when the Permanent Endowment of the E Hayes Dashwood of Aston Rowant House Oxford Foundation was vested in the E Hayes Dashwood Foundation (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation).

The Object of the Foundation remains to provide housing for former members of the armed forces and mercantile marine who have encountered a degree of disability or infirmity in their lives and require accommodation for themselves and potentially their families, in homes which are appropriate for their needs.

As was the case in 2020, the management of the Foundation in 2021 was dictated by the coronavirus pandemic. Mercifully, again no beneficiary was infected by Covid19. The managing agent was able to sustain regular regulation-compliant visits to the estate to deal with matters for both beneficiaries and commercial tenants. The Foundation Director generally worked from home but was present on the Estate when breaks in Lockdown permitted.

Income was maintained through the year and overall income was £1.481,239 compared with £1,452,764 in 2020 and expenditure £1,414,7949 compared with £1,347,689 in 2020. With careful planning, contractors were able to maintain a steady programme of work on the estate and a further 7 flats were fully refurbished and 7 had less extensive refurbishment. Installation of new windows as part of the upgrading programme was able to continue, only carrying out works in flats which were vacant and undergoing other refurbishment work. Regulatory testing in homes across the Estate continued.

Plans for future work were discussed and developed with Cluttons surveyors who continued to oversee work on the Estate throughout the year.

It was also possible to interview and house new beneficiaries, using of on-line technology for meetings instead of meeting in person; Five moved into flats on the Estate during the year.

Trustees met principally on-line to keep abreast of work on the Estate and the health and welfare of the beneficiaries as the year progressed. Trustees met in person in November with former Governors of the unincorporated charity and others who have supported the Foundation to mark the 75th anniversary of Mr Dashwood establishing the Foundation.

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The Foundation is controlled by its charity’s governing document and is now an incorporated charity.

The Foundation was created by the late Edward Hayes Dashwood in a trust deed dated 20 November 1946 and amended by a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 12 December 1978 to allow the current system of charges upon beneficiaries of its residential accommodation. The charity was incorporated in 2021. It is a member of the National Association of Almshouses.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Governing Document provides that the management of the Foundation shall be under the control of a Board of Trustees, whose number shall not be more than twelve or fewer than eight.

The Board may act in all matters within its jurisdiction notwithstanding any vacancy or vacancies so long as there are five Governors present

The principal competencies required of members of the Board are:

Each of the present Trustees meets two or more of these competencies and in the event of a vacancy it is usually the case that recommendations will be made by existing Trustees of at least one candidate who could bring the requisite skills to maintain a complete competency set and would also have time consistently to devote to the Foundation’s objectives.

Appointments are subject to election by the Trustees as under the Governing Document. However, the Trustees aim to elect only candidates who have the unanimous support of the Board. In any process of bringing recommendations for candidature the Board will have regard to the declaration of the Governing Document (which is not so as to impose any obligation upon it) that candidates shall include business men with experience in trade finance or other matters or have senior management service with the Royal Navy, the Army the Royal Air Force, joint Armed Services bodies, the Mercantile Marine or charities for the benefit of armed services personnel or the Mercantile Marine. No external body is entitled to appoint a Trustee.

Although not expressly provided for in the Governing Document, women are equally eligible for any appointment and board members are keen to ensure that a suitable mix of both men and women are appointed to the board to enhance the equality aims of the Foundation.

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of five years. Trustees may from time to time appoint a Chairman from among themselves to hold office for such period as they may determine.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


Induction and training of new trustees

New Board members undergo a familiarisation period, which includes time visiting the Foundation’s properties and meeting some of its residents. Briefings are given on the governing document, legal obligations under charity law, the financial and administrative position of the charity and the legal and practical constraints under which benevolence is operated and the housing provided. New Board members also meet with colleagues on the Board, our principal professional advisors and their key staff in an informal setting.

Professional advice is sought on new issues or developments which might impact on any aspect of the charity’s undertakings and the opportunity is taken for the appropriate advisor to attend before the Board to give a training brief.

Organisational structure

The Board plans to meet four times a year to decide and monitor financial and administrative policies. It also receives reports and recommendations from its Building and Housing Management Committees which are both established with defined terms of reference and a membership which is elected by the Board. Concurrently, it receives reports from its managers and other professional advisors and reviews progress and performance.

The Foundation Director (who is the sole employee) is responsible to the Board for management, administration and achieving the Board’s policies and objectives.

The day-to-day management of the properties, including collection of rents and maintenance contributions and the maintenance and refurbishment requirements, is through the appointment of professional Trust Estate Managers. Appointments are usually for three-year periods and the Foundation’s beneficiaries are usually consulted before any renewal or new appointment is made.

Related Parties

Whilst the Foundation has important working relationships with other charities in the Armed Forces and Mercantile Marine sectors and may receive from them grants for specific purposes from time to time, neither they nor any other agencies are deemed to be related parties.

Risk Management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance that identified risks, including fraud and error, are mitigated.

The identification of risks is a duty not only of the Board but also of the Foundation’s professional appointees, particularly those whose responsibilities involve detailed or specialist knowledge of processes and procedures which the Foundation currently experiences or may experience in the broad context of its objectives. The Board also encourages its beneficiaries to consider the risks apparent from their living environment and to report if there is concern.

4

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


The Board maintains and keeps under review at least annually a risk exposure framework covering all likely classifications of risk. It details the Board’s views on how various levels of risk become acceptable after the strategic management of them and the review process is to ensure that the assessments made continue to reflect the Board’s view of an acceptable risk. The Board also recognises its duty to ensure that, as part of the management process, new risks are properly reported and evaluated and that the risk aspects of significant new projects are considered as part of every project appraisal. Any failure of control systems is reported to the Board for action.

The Board believes that its periodic reviews of financial management, its quarterly reviews with estate managers and its property condition inspection processes combine with appropriate insurance cover to mitigate the risks it has identified to acceptable levels.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The object of the charity is to provide, maintain and regulate self-contained, unfurnished almshouse accommodation for its beneficiary class of infirm ex-Service people or those of the mercantile marine, together with their families.

The activities of the charity all relate directly to the object and are, generally, to contribute to the quality of life of the beneficiaries, their spouses and families by means of a good standard of almshouse provision at a cost to the beneficiary which is as low as reasonably possible and capable of being met by Housing Benefit and/or other housing allowances for those who would otherwise experience hardship.

All the Foundation’s properties are situated in two predominantly residential roads lying within a conservation area in Balham, London, SW12. The properties consist of 150 flats, each having one, two or three bedrooms and a shared small garden. The Board currently designates 100 of these flats as almshouses for occupation at reduced cost by the beneficiaries. The balance of 50 flats not occupied by the beneficiaries is applied to residential letting either at market rates or rates appropriate to legal constraints at the time of letting for the purpose of providing income. The Foundation has, additionally, a further 25 flats which have been let on long leases and premiums on the extension of these leases constitute an occasional source of income to the Foundation.

Looking to the longer term, the Governing Document provides that the property endowed should be regarded as permanent until such time as there are no longer objects of the deed to be fulfilled.

However, the Board considers that the objects of the trust deed will continue to be very relevant for many years to come and its plans for maintenance and improvement of the endowed housing stock will continue to be on the basis of good quality materials and workmanship to enhance longevity.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Reporting Requirement

During the year the Board has considered the guidance from the Charity Commission and Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 in connection with the duty to meet and report on the public benefit in exercising their powers or duties and has had regard to that guidance in preparing this report.

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


Type & Scope of Public Benefit

The benefits of the Foundation’s work relate directly to its object, which is detailed on page 4 of this report.

Rent is not charged for occupation by beneficiaries as they become licensees upon disposition of an almshouse property under the Charities Act 2011. A Maintenance Contribution applies, however, and its payment is a condition of the licence to occupy. The level of Maintenance Contribution is reviewed annually by the Board informed by the guidelines of the National Association of Almshouses.

With the support of income from, primarily, residential letting and grants from other ex- Service charities it is possible for the level of Maintenance Contribution to be set substantially below the maintenance costs actually incurred. Maintenance Contributions represent a considerable measure of financial relief for the beneficiaries when compared to market rate rents.

The Foundation may assist its beneficiaries in application for Housing Benefit and/or other housing allowances in circumstances of hardship and may liaise with the local authority and relevant charities should special needs arise which a beneficiary is unable to meet unaided.

Opportunity for Beneficiaries

Demand for low-cost accommodation in the London area is invariably high but new appointments are, by the financial limits of the Foundation, restricted to filling vacancies occurring through the loss of an existing beneficiary. Application for appointment as a beneficiary is open nationally to any former member of the armed forces and Mercantile Seafaring veterans. In all categories, the applicant must be suffering an infirmity. It may be either a physical (including sensory) or mental impairment and it does not need to have arisen during or from military or maritime service. There are no costs associated with application; travel expenses for interview in London are met if necessary and no deposit is taken when an applicant is appointed to a property.

Balance of Benefit against Detriment

Beneficiaries will have widely differing ages, types & degrees of infirmity and social, financial and personal circumstances. However, the level of behaviour to the detriment of others in the locality is believed only to reflect that which can be expected on any small estate occupied by a diverse community. The Foundation’s policies for dealing with all ranges of antisocial behaviour are notified in writing to all beneficiaries upon their appointment and again should an issue arise.

Trustees & Governors

All Trustees of the Foundation give their time voluntarily and neither they, nor parties related to them, receive benefits from the Charity. Vouched expenses of Trustees incurred exclusively in the course of their duties may, however, be reimbursed (See note 8 attaching to the Accounts).

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

During the year under review the Board has:

PLANS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD

The Board intends to:

GOING CONCERN

As detailed in the financial commentary in the trustee’s annual report the Trustees, having reviewed the charity’s activities and financial position consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate. Their judgement was made in the light of the foundation’s transition to Charitable Incorporated Organisation as stated in Chairman’s report.

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021


FINANCIAL REVIEW

Details of the current year’s results appear in the accounts from page 13 onwards

The year income was £1,479k (2020: £1,432k) and expenditure £762k (2020: £779k) resulted a surplus of £717k (2020: £653K). The accounting for the property was change and new method adopted that made prior year adjustment to the account. At the end of the year total fund balance was £54,648k comprised of unrestricted fund deficit balance £344k and Endowment fund balance £54,992k.

Reserves level and policy

The Foundation’s endowment property provides a steady flow of income which has proved reliable and which covers all its general commitments including scheduled loan repayments and day to day running repair of its properties. There is also an important element provided to permit a full programme of the repairs and improvements highlighted by the quinquennial inspection report currently being used for reference.

The Board is not aware of any future needs, opportunities, commitment or risks where future income alone is unlikely to be able to meet anticipated costs. Therefore, those needs which justify having reserves are principally to meet an unexpected and substantial fall in the flow of income. Such a fall would almost certainly be attributable to a change in housing conditions on a national scale and thus be beyond the control of the Board.

The Board believes it to be correct to maintain the bank overdraft facility of £200,000, first arranged in 2013, and that this sum will continue to provide a sufficient initial cushion to meet pre-existing commitments to contractors during which time measures in mitigation of an income fall can be investigated and organised. Such measures could include a re-gearing of the rate of the property refurbishment and general enhancement measures for the estate.

At the year end, the unrestricted general funds reserves deficit are in the amount of £344k (2020: deficit £392k).

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board of the Hayes Dashwood Foundation is responsible for preparing Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021


Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors' 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 statements are 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 Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

10

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021


Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

11

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021


These included risks associated with revenue recognition, application of accounting estimates and management override of controls, which were discussed and agreed by the audit team.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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 auditors' 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as at 31 December 2021


1) Accounting Policies

General Information

The E Hayes Dashwood Foundation (“the Foundation”) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which is domiciled in the UK and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The registered office is as disclosed on page 1.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair view’ and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Merger

The E Hayes Dashwood of Aston Rowant House, Oxfordshire Foundation (Charity No 246460) was merged with The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation – Charity No 1189334 on 20th October 2021. All existing assets and liabilities were transferred to the new Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This charity reconstruction has been treated as a merger in accordance with section 27 of the Charities SORP.

Going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the Foundation have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the net current liabilities position at the balance sheet date, the trustees are of the opinion that the Foundation will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. This is because the charity is receiving regular income from its properties and has sufficient headroom in existing overdraft and loan facilities to accommodate fluctuations in spending. In addition, the Foundation has property available to pledge as security additional borrowings were this required.

Incoming Resources

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Rents and Maintenance Charges

Rent and maintenance charges receivable for the occupation of the Foundation's freehold property are accounted for in the period in which the properties were occupied and are net of voids. Weekly maintenance contributions receivable from appointed beneficiaries of the Foundation are accounted for as income from charitable activities, while rent receivable under assured shorthold tenancies from persons not appointed as beneficiaries of the Foundation is accounted for as income from investment properties.

17

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as at 31 December 2021


Investment and Other Income

Investment and other sundry income is accounted for when received or legal entitlement arises.

Donations Receivable

Donations receivable are accounted for when received or legal entitlement arises. Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor(s) are treated as Restricted Funds.

Resources Expended

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.

Costs of Raising Funds

Cost of Raising Funds comprises all direct costs incurred in the management and maintenance of properties which are for the time being categorised as investment properties and an apportionment of support costs.

Costs of Charitable Activities

Cost of Charitable Activities comprises all direct costs incurred in the management and maintenance of properties which are for the time being categorised as tangible fixed assets, being used for the accommodation of beneficiaries of the charity, and an apportionment of support costs.

Support Costs

Support costs represent indirect expenditure incurred in the administration of the Foundation. Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the Foundation (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs and governance costs are allocated between the Foundation's activities by reference to direct costs incurred and staff time spent on each activity.

Tangible fixed assets

Housing properties

Housing properties are properties held for the provision of social housing or to otherwise provide social benefit. Housing properties are principally properties available for rent and are stated at valuation. Housing properties are stated at fair value at the date of valuation, less accumulated impairment losses. No depreciation has been charged as the residual value of the properties at open market rates is considered to exceed the valuation in their current use for beneficiaries of the Foundation. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not materially differ from the fair value of the properties as at the year end.

Office property and freehold land

Office property and Land is initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured using the revaluation model at valuation at each balance sheet date.

Office equipment

Office equipment is measured at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is charged to write off the cost over three years on a straight-line basis.

Investment properties

Investment properties are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Gains are calculated based on the movement in the market value during the period.

Debtors

Trade and other receivables are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

18

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as at 31 December 2021


Creditors:

Creditors are measured at the expected settlement amount, discounted for the time value of money if material.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and highly liquid interest-bearing securities with maturities of three months or less.

Financial Instruments

The Foundation has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets held at cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments). Financial liabilities held at cost comprise of bank loans and overdrafts, trade and other creditors.

Fund accounting:

Unrestricted funds

These funds are available at any time for the use at the discretion of Trustees for the furtherance of the Foundation’s activities and objectives.

Endowment funds

These funds have been established from an endowment the Foundation received many years ago and represents the Foundation’s freehold land and buildings.

Restricted funds

Donations or legacies received which are earmarked by the donor for specific purposes. Such purposes are within the overall aims of the Foundation.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

The following are the critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Board has made in the process of applying the Foundation’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Valuation of tangible fixed assets and investment properties

Management reviews its valuation of housing properties at each reporting date, based on either formal valuation reports or an update to those reports based on market conditions and other changes to assumptions. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to the discount rate, the cost of property maintenance and future cash flows. Valued properties totalled £54,992,300 at the year-end.

In view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

The E. Hayes Dashwood Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as at 31 December 2021


20 Prior Year Adjustment

During the year it was identified that the measurement of the Foundation’s fixed assets at fair value had been misstated in the previous financial statements due to a miscalculation of the year end values. Additionally, the revaluation gain was incorrectly recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as well as improvements carried out to the properties being treated as revenue expenditure, rather than being added to the carrying amount.

The fair value as at 31 December 2020 of tangible fixed assets has been increased by £617,100 from £22,872,500 to £23,489,600 and investment properties decreased by £99,983 from £30,620,683 to £30,520,700. The impact on funds was an increase in endowment funds of £517,117 from previously reported.

Expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2020 decreased by £568,775 from £1,347,689 to £778,914 and gains on revaluation of investment properties increased by £1,571,358 from £Nil to £1,571,358 resulting in an increase to Net Income for the year ended 31 December 2020 of £2,140,133. Gains on revaluation of tangible fixed assets decreased by £1,623,016 from £7,007,732 to £5,384,716, resulting in an increase to the Net Movement in Funds of £517,117.
