THE ABBEYFIELD WEST WIGHT SOCIETY LIMITED

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (continued)

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the Society continues to be the provision of accommodation, care and companionship for lonely or frail elderly people in accordance with the aims and principles of The Abbeyfield Society Limited. This activity falls wholly within hostel housing activities as defined in the Housing Act 1996.

Status

The Society was registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. In 2019 the Society re-registered as a limited company under the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, and is registered with the Charity Commission as a charity.

Results

An operating deficit on normal activities of £86,807 was recorded. However, due to an exceptional receipt of £251,803 in respect of a share in the proceeds of the sale of the former Abbeyfield Isle of Wight Extra Care Society property, a net surplus of £164,996 arises. The use of that fund is restricted to use for property improvements only, and has been transferred to a restricted reserve.

Fixed Assets

Details of cost and depreciation of fixed assets are set out in notes 8 and 10. The Committee is of the opinion that there is no significant difference between the book cost and the market value for the existing use of the land and buildings.

Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees

From time to time the Society reviews the skills and abilities of the Trustees to ensure that there is adequate breadth of experience. Should this be lacking or if additional Trustees are required due to retirement, prospective Trustees are invited from the Membership to apply.

Induction and Training of Trustees

All Trustees are provided with the Abbeyfield Executive Guide and Memorandum and Articles of Association. Should additional skills be required external training would be sought.

Organisational Structure

Day to day running of the Society’s affairs are conducted by the Housekeeper, who reports to the Committee. The Trustees meet formally on a quarterly basis and at additional times as required on an informal basis to deal with issues requiring their input.

Major Risks

The Committee confirm that all major risks identified have been assessed and systems implemented to manage those risks.

Achievements, Performance and Financial Review

Due to a significant reduction in residents in the year, and the lack of new residents for the foreseeable future, the Trustees have come to the conclusion that the continuation of the Society as it is unviable. They have taken the reluctant decision to merge the Society with Yarmouth and to transfer the assets to the merged society.

Reserves

The Committee aims to have reserves of an amount equivalent to one year's residential charges, to cover contingencies including the cost of repairs and improvements to the property.

On behalf of the Executive Committee

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires the Executive Committee members to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society as at the end of that year and of the surplus or deficit of the Society for that year. In preparing those accounts the Executive Committee members are required to:

The Executive Committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the relevant legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

ABBEYFIELD WEST WIGHT SOCIETY LIMITED

I report on the accounts of The Abbeyfield West Wight Society Limited for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Charity's Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act") does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, 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 Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trustees 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 statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.
