3. O bject of the Charity

The Swavesey Fire Relief Fund was established by a scheme of 24[th] February 1914 to buy land on which to build and manage a number of cottages suitable for the occupation of poor persons resident in Swavesey, but in receipt of a secure income. Preference was to be given to those who had been rendered homeless by the major fire of March 1913. If a cottage is not required for occupation as thus outlined, the Trustees are empowered to let the cottage for the time being for the best charge that can reasonably be obtained. The cottages are designated as almshouses and residents as licensees not tenants. They pay weekly maintenance contributions (WMCs) not rent.

The object of the charity was unchanged when the Swavesey Fire Relief CIO was updated from June 22[nd] .2020.

This Annual Report covers the full year for both Charities from January 1[st] . 2021 to December 31[st] 2021.

4. Trustees during 2021

Mr John Pook (Chairman and Representative Trustee)

Mrs Jill Holland (Hon. Secretary, Treasurer and Co-optative Trustee) Mr James Dodson (Representative Trustee) Mr Stuart Faben (Representative

Mr Clive Barnes (Co-optative Trustee) – June 2019 Ms Bridget Lofts (Representative Trustee) – March 2019 Mr Jonathan Benson (Representative Trustee) from June 2020 Mr M S Herrington (Co-optative Trustee) from December 2020 Representative Trustees are appointed by Swavesey Parish Council and The Parochial Church Council of St Andrews Church Swavesey.

Mrs Jill Holland served for many years as Secretary and Treasurer to December 2020. Her death left a hole in our Charity and the thanks of the Trustees is recorded here for her service, Mr Herrington filled her vacancy and Mr Pook became Treasurer and Ms Lofts Secretary.

5. Work of the Charity in 2021

During 2021 the cottages provided housing for four single people as licensees in view of their need for accommodation. WMC payments were reviewed and increased by 5% to reflect increased maintenance costs levels.

Various minor maintenance works and grounds maintenance have been carried out

The Trustees received a generous offer of financial support in 2018 to develop the large garden to the rear of the site to provide two new one bedroom single storey cottages to meet the need for affordable accommodation in Swavesey in accordance with the Trust’s aims. The Trustees sought and obtained planning permission for two additional cottages to be constructed in November 2020. The Trustees have commissioned Nick Phillips Architects to take the design forward and obtain tenders to build the new cottages. Depending on the tenders received construction will start late 2021 into 2022.

From 2020 the Trustees have updated the charitable status of the Frere Cottages to a CIO (Incorporated Charity Status). The Charity was registered by the Charity Commission on June 22[nd] 2020.

6. Public Benefit

In carrying out the work, Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit Guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

John Pook, Chairman

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXAMINER'S REPORT

To the Trustees of: Swavesey Fire Relief CIO Charity number (if registered): 1190054 I report on the Receipts and Payments Accounts set out on the attached Financial Statement pages 1-3 for the above named charity for the year ended ..... Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention, (other than disclosed below): which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. * Please delete the words in brackets if they do not apply.
