The Trustees present their annual report together wÉih the financial sL*ements of the Charity for the year from 1

The CIO was fom)ed on 28 April 2021 and the activities, assets and liabilitigs ol the unincorporated charity of the
same name (number 2092201 were liansferred lo the CIO on 31 December 2021.
The original Charity was created in 1899 to buikj a village hall and 8 almshouses with money bequeathed by
Robert Thompson. The Tru$legs are responsible for managing these properties and for enablirtg tha hall to be
used for a variety of purposes, at their discrgtion, within the Community.
The Trustees have Continued to manage the Saltwood Almshouses, saltr￿0d Village H811 and the fallow land.
The Trustees meet quarterty to plan work and manage the Charfty.
ObJectiVgs and aGtlvltles
Summary objective as per governing document
To benefit the residents of Saliwood and the surrounding areas lo advance education and lo provide facilitie8 in
the interests of social welfare for recreation and Eeisure time occupation wrih the objective of improving the
nditions of life for the residents. The prevention or relief of poverty by providing social housing in the foTh of
almshouse accommodation for persons who have resided in the district of Folkeslone, Hythe and Salthod for
not less than 10 years preceding their application for residence and who from age, ilkhealth or accident are
unable to maintain themselves by their ¢)wn exertions.
The trustees have the power lo maintain and manage the Sa￿00d Willage Hall for adivities promgled by the
charity in furtherance of the above objectives and for the public benefft of the community.
Achievements and perfomiance
Almshouses
All eight almshouses have been occupied this year with no voids. As well as routine maintenance and checks lo
all tho almshousos, major maintenance was undertaken to the windows of the tour properties in Grange Road.
A Quinquennial Inspection was undertaken for all th& almshouses and this report 1$ being used lo plan forward
maintenance.
The Vlllage Hall
The Quinqugnnial Inspection also included the Village Hall. Surveys lo the roof conclLtded that it is in need of
replacement rather than just repair. The Iruslees have wmmlited lo have this work done in 2025 arKI are now
seeking grants towards the cost of this major expenditure.
Marketing activities have concentrated on more regular users of the hall as they promde a more dependable
income. Occasional users include wedding receptions and the Mllage hall porch was r8decor81ed lo ensure that
it looked ils bgst for such occa510n$.
The hage alongside the Grange Road boundary had encroached on the pavement area and because of its
generally poor condrtion, the trustees decided lo have il removed. This revealed problems with the boundary wall
which has now been replaced and repaired where necessary.
The trustees themselves ran ￿ events to raise fvnds for th8 village hall roof., an Open Day wlth demonstratlorts
from groups that regularly use the hall and a local history talk and on Boxing Day refTeshrnenls were sold to
those vi$iling SaI￿00d for the Boxing Day Run. Christmas lights were also instslled around the outside the hall
and were officially swrtched on at the Carols on the Village Green event on 18 December.

Achievementy and perfom)ance Icontinuedl
Fallow Land
The overgrown yew trees along Rectory Lane were pruned, and the trees along the fallow land were cleared of
dead branches to ensure the safety of the ScoLrts who use the area (under licencel for their actwilies.
Govèrnance
Mrs Allison Swonnell was welcomed as a new member of the Board of Trustees.
The policies 8nd procgdures that guide th¢ ¢harty or¢ wiewed regularfy and updated in line with any changes lo
legislation. The trustees confim they have Tun the Robert Thompson Charities in accordance with its goveTning
document and with due regar(I lo all relevanllggislation.
Plans for 2025
The replacement of the vlllage hall roof will be a prlm8ry fcÈus for the charity In the coming year.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charty has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue lo adopt
the going concem basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of thg going
concem basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Ro$9ry0$ policy
Consistent wth Almshouse Association advice the Charity holds allocated Extraordinary ￿pair and Cyclical
maintenance funds.. one for cyclical maintenance to meet the costs of ordinary repair and maintenance rtems
that ￿¢ur at infrequent bul relatively regu18T interyals- and one for extraordinary repairs such the installation of a
new heating system. whole renovations of the almshouses, roof maintenance or other exceptional items. The
trustees, aim is that these funds shguld not exceed the total held in ￿$h and pooled investment funds. In
addf(ion, the charity holds general reseryes which largely constitute the book value of tho propftrty and its
conlenls. The Tnjstees are mindlul that both the Village Hall and the Almshouses need equal attention and
rinancial consideration for ongoing maintenance to cover both.
Financial Review
Compared wf(h the extensive renovations completed in previous years, expenditure in 2024 was relativety
modest. The Iruslees, policy is to complete major renovations to the almshouses when they fall vacant and there
were no voids in 2024.
As a resuh. the challty had a surplus of £13.399 for the year compared to a deficit of £20,451 in 2023. Total
reserves sland al £1,964,422 (2023 - £1.951,0231. of which £23.49812023 - £17.248) is considered to be 'Yree"
reserves with no reslriclion or designated putpose.

of each actmty are made up of the total of direct wsts and shared cost5, including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable lo a single aclwity are allocated directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute lo more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable to a single adivity are apportioned between those activities on a basis con51Stenl with

included in the measurement of cost.
