Structure Governance and Management

The Terrys Cross Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee and was formed on 1st April 2020. It was registered with the Charity Commission in December 2020. It became registered provider with the Care Quality Commission on 1[st] June 2021, when the Charitable Trust was deregistered. It operates from Terrys Cross House under a Lease (21 years from 1 June 2013) from the Diocese of Chichester at an annual peppercorn rent. The House was first registered with the Care Quality Commission in 2015. The original Trust was set up to provide accommodation for retired clergy, missionaries and their dependants. Applications are now open to all, but accommodation and care for retired clergy and missionaries and those associated with the Church of England are given priority.

The Trustees/Directors, with the Registered Manager, plan and oversee the care of the residents in the House and the management of the House and Flats.

New Directors/Trustees are appointed by the existing Directors/Trustees.

During The period 1[st] May 2022 to 30[th] April 2023 the Directors/Trustees met five times. All meetings took place at Terrys Cross House.

The Directors/Trustees confirm that in accordance with their duties as stated in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act, guidance provided by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit has been considered.

Safeguarding, Health and safety and Data Protection (GDPR)

The Directors/Trustees, the Registered Manager and the Staff recognise the duty of care that they have towards the residents in the House and Flats; the protection of vulnerable adults is taken very seriously.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are carried out for all staff before they commence working at the House and are renewed as necessary. The staff undertake safeguarding training as part of their induction and renew this annually. The Directors/Trustees, too, have DBS checks and are aware of the Trust Safeguarding Policy. Safeguarding concerns would be reported to the Registered Manager and/or the Chairman.

The Registered Manager and care staff keep the residents’ Care Plans up to date and carry out appropriate risk assessments as necessary. There is an electronic Care Plan system.

The appropriate weekly and monthly Health and Safety checks are carried out and any work required is attended to.

The Directors/Trustees and the Registered Manager regularly review the Safeguarding, Health and Safety and Data Protection (GDPR) Policies.

Aim and Purposes

The Directors/Trustees, with the Registered Manager, share the responsibility for delivering care to the residents of the House. The Trustees are also responsible under the terms of the Lease for the maintenance and repair of the buildings (The House, Bramwell Lodge, The Gatehouse and the garages) together with the upkeep of the grounds.

The Directors/Trustees also ensure that the Parish clergy (and retired clergy with permission to officiate) celebrate Holy Communion in the Chapel on the ground floor of the House. At present this happens once a week on Thursdays, The Parish clergy also provide Pastoral Care for the residents and staff.

5

Objectives and Activities

The Directors/Trustees, Registered Manager and staff are committed to caring for the residents in the House with respect and dignity. They also, when necessary, support those who live in the flats. Each resident shares with the Manager the writing and updating of his or her Care Plan.

Residents’ families and friends are welcome to visit at any time. The Trustees, staff and residents are very pleased that unrestricted visiting has been resumed following the lifting of Covid restrictions. Some of those who live in the flats and in the neighbouring Bungalows (Hyde Housing) like to come into the House for Chapel services and/or Sunday lunch and again, this has now been resumed.

Covid also curtailed the monthly talks which are arranged by the Manager in consultation with the residents. It is hoped that these will once again become regular events. It is good that others can once again be invited to come to these and the post-talk tea.

Residents’ birthdays are celebrated. The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee was celebrated in the garden. A local Brass Band played; It was good to be able to invite families and friends to join the residents, staff and Trustees. In December residents and staff were delighted to hold their Christmas party to which families, friends, Directors/Trustees and local residents were, once again, invited.

Achievement and Performance

For most of the year all nine rooms in the House and the four flats in Bramwell Lodge were occupied.

The upper flat in the Gatehouse is reached by a steep staircase. Sadly, the tenant died in January 2023; at present this flat is vacant

Weekly celebrations of Holy Communion were held in the chapel. The Revd Paul Doick (incumbent) The Revd Heather Wilkin (assistant curate) and The Revd Christina Bennett each presided at these during the year. Several of the of the

6

residents regularly attend these services. The clergy take Communion to their rooms for any not able to get to chapel if they wish this.

Residents and staff enjoy the atmosphere and ethos of Terrys Cross.

Comments

A resident: “I am so grateful for all you do.”

Family member of a resident: “We have complete confidence in the standard of care you provide and are most grateful for the kind and personal way in which it is delivered. We know that John is in safe, compassionate hands.”

A friend of a resident: “Love and thanks to all of you for looking after my friends”

A neighbour: “ Thank you so much for the very kind invitation to the Coffee and Cake morning to watch King Charles’ Coronation. It was a very pleasant morning relaxing in the comfy chairs in Terrys Cross lounge and your lovely staff looking after us whilst we both enjoyed the spectacular Coronation from Westminster Abbey. Please do convey our thanks to everyone for their care and kindness. With much appreciation.”

The latest CQC Report, dated 27[th] August 2022, graded the House GOOD in all five categories (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led). The report can be read on the Trust’s website www.terryscross.co.uk

Review of the Year

During most of the year all nine rooms in the house were occupied. At 30[th] April 2023 no rooms were vacant

In Bramwell Lodge, the two one-bedroom flats and the two studio flats were all occupied throughout the year.

7

The occupant of the ground floor flat in the Gatehouse has been there for some years. The upper flat is at present vacant.

Staff

Lynn Knowelden (appointed as Registered Manager in August 2018) continues to manage the House and Flats most efficiently. It is due to her efforts and those of the other staff that the House achieved the GOOD CQC inspection report in August 2022. Lynn has been excellent and strong in her leadership of the staff team during the recovery from Covid. The Directors/Trustees are very grateful to Lynn and all the staff for their hard work and for their continued care and respect for the residents

Jo Gaston continues her role as Senior Carer. With Lynn she ensures that new members of staff receive a full induction following their appointments. Carers. At 30[th] April 2023 there were five additional Care staff all of whom have NVQ level 2 or above. There are Care staff on duty 24/7. All new staff have a two week induction which gives them time to get to know the residents and staff. The Care Certificate is part of this induction. Cooks There are two part-time Cooks

Housekeeper The Housekeeper works five mornings each week.

COVID-19

During the Spring and summer of 2022 Covid restrictions were gradually relaxed and visitors could begin to come without prior appointments. Testing of staff, residents and visitors was reduced and then ceased in line with Government guidance.

There have been no cases of Covid (either staff or residents) since March 2022.

The Life of the House

Weekly Celebrations of Holy Communion took place in the chapel. Residents appreciate this and the pastoral care provided by the clergy. Most of the residents have their own telephones so could contact the clergy direct if they felt the need.

The Manager, in consultation with the residents, arranges monthly talks followed by tea. These talks were given by residents and others.

A local Brass Band performed at the Platinum Jubilee Garden Party. The residents and their guests much enjoyed this.

Two of the residents have their own cars; others use the bus to travel, when appropriate, to Henfield, Horsham, Burgess Hill or Brighton. One resident

8

attends Church in Henfield each Sunday, being given a lift by a neighbour. All make use of the gardens and grounds.

During the year residents from the Hyde Bungalows were able once again to join the House residents for Sunday lunch.80000000

For the third year the usual Christmas Lunch for Directors/Trustees and residents and families did not happen. However, the Christmas party for residents, staff, trustees, families and neighbours did take place

Property Maintenance

The grounds are maintained by gardeners on an annual contract. One of the residents in Bramwell Lodge is a keen gardener and has been looking after the flower borders and containers.

General Maintenance of the House and Flats was carried out throughout the year

Financial Review

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Charity Law, Financial Reporting Standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS102), effective 1st January 2015.

Income and expenditure

The incoming resources for the year amounted to £378,567 (compared to £323,487 in the previous year) and with expenditure of £346,472 (£300,761 in 2021-22) resulted in a surplus of £32,095

Reserves Policy

The Directors/Trustees have established a policy whereby the rent from one room should be held in a sinking fund specifically for major repairs (at 30 April 2023 this was £48,667. The policy that unrestricted funds should be equal to at least 2 months of normal operation costs is being increased to 6 months, but it will take time to achieve this. The actual reserves at 30[th] April 2023 are £148,587.

Risk Review

The Directors/Trustees have conducted a review of risks and have put in systems and taken action to mitigate any risks and have public liability cover. During 2023/24 the Directors/Trustees will continue to undertake a comprehensive review of risks and will complete a new Risk Register

9

Future Plans

Publicity

The Directors/Trustees updated the website in 2021. The Advertisement in the Parish Magazine and in The Diocesan Magazine were also updated. A new leaflet/brochure is being prepared.

Building Maintenance

The roof of the House needs extensive work. This is complicated by the presence of bats. The Charitable Company negotiated with Charity Bank to borrow funds to enable it to carry out this work during the period allowed by the regulations for the protection of the bats. This work will be done during the spring/summer of 2023.

When a room in the House becomes vacant it is redecorated before being reoccupied. The programme of converting the bathrooms to wet rooms was continued.

Examiners Report

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Terrys Cross Trust.

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 30/04/2023.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.

The Trust’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trust’s 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. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination included 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 and 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 matter has come to my attention:
