Annual report for 2024 of the Trustees of the Swavesey Fire Relief CIO

Registered Charity No. 1190054

  1. Charity Correspondent: Mr John Pook, 11 Market Street, Swavesey, Cambridge CB24 4QG.

  2. Bank: Barclays Bank plc, Chesterton Road, Cambridge.

  3. The properties are known locally as Frere Cottages.

4. Object 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 four 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 the Charity from January 1[st] . 2024 to December 31[st] . 2024.

5. Trustees during 2024

Mr John Pook (Chairman and Representative Trustee) Mr James Dodson (Representative Trustee) Mr Stuart Faben (Representative Trustee) Mr Clive Barnes (Co-optative Trustee) – June 2019 Mr Jonathan Benson (Representative Trustee) from June 2020

Mr Martin Herrington (Co-optative Trustee/Representative Trustee) from December 2020 Mrs. Mary Adams (Co-optative Trustee) from March 2023

The Trustees met on Tuesday 12[th] November 2024 and agreed to changes to the trustees from that meeting.

Mr John Pook retired as chairman and as a Trustee. Ms Rachel Vollerthun was appointed as a Representative Trustee (Parish Council) Mrs Mary Evans ceased to act as a Trustee but will continue to support the Trustees. Ms. Shirley Parker has been appointed as a Trustee, (Co – optative) and will act as Secretary.

Representative Trustees are appointed by Swavesey Parish Council and The Parochial Church Council of St Andrews Church Swavesey

6. Work of the Charity in 2024

During 2024 the original cottages provided housing for four single people as licensees in view of their need for accommodation. Two new single cottages were completed and occupied by two single people in December 2022 and continued in occupation throughout 2024. WMC payments were reviewed and increased to reflect the increased rate in inflation during the year. All the residents occupy the cottages under a license agreement in accordance with the

guidance provided by the Almshouse Association. All the residents meet the requirements set out in the objects of the charity.

Various minor maintenance works and grounds maintenance have been carried out.

Settlement to one of the cottages is subject to a claim with the Charity’s insurance company. The repairs to the cottages have been subject to delays by the insurance company and the Trustees have sought resolution through the Financial Ombudsman Service. Work to remedy the settlement to 34 Station Road, the cottage affected by the settlement has now been completed but there remains work to resolve settlement affecting the drains which was subject to a complaint to the Ombudsman. This has now been resolved and awaits further action to carry out remedial work by the insurer.

Plans are progressing to improve the insulation and to install solar panels to the original cottages.

7. 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 (to November 14[th] . 2024)

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 n 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 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 th 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 examin includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you a trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be require audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is lim 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 Cha 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 reac Please delete the words in brackets if they do not apply.
