**ST GILES CHARITY ESTATES CIO** 

**CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

This has been the first full year of operation of the new CIO charity and one in which we have continued to make changes and improvements in our operations. 

Loraine Garrard, the Manager of our care home, Nicholas Rothwell House, has worked tirelessly to improve our occupancy rate which is now higher than at any time since Covid. We have continued to make improvements to the fabric of the building. Most notable was the complete refurbishment and refitting of the kitchen. Loraine oversaw this with great skill to ensure that, with the aid of an outdoor temporary kitchen, there was no interruption in the provision of hot meals for our residents. The Trustees are extremely grateful to Loraine and our staff for all their dedication and hard work which I know is much appreciated by our residents. 

During the year we decided we would retender the contract to manage our investments. Mercer Ltd had been our investment managers for many years and we felt it right therefore we should test the market. We shortlisted five firms, including Mercer, and interviewed four of them. The result of this process was our decision to appoint Cazenove Capital part of Schroders, as our new investment managers. The appointment was finalised in December but the funds were not transferred by Mercer to Cazenove's until February 2026. 

In October, Jane O'Connor who had very ably performed the joint roles of Trustee and Administrator for some years decided not to seek reappointment as a Trustee when her term of office ended. She also retired as our Administrator. The charity owes enormous gratitude to her for the huge amount of work she has done for the charity over many years most notably in our change to become a CIO and our heartfelt thanks go out to her. 

Jane's departure has necessitated our recruiting a new Administrator. That process started in November and was successfully concluded in March 2026 with the appointment of Theresa Brooks. 

In October we appointed a new trustee, Guy Schanschieff. He has recently retired from a very successful business career and brings new skills to our Board. It is also remarkable that in the past both his father and grandfather have been St Giles Trustees. 

Finally, I would like to record how much support I and the Charity get from all our Trustees. They all make significant contributions to the Board of Trustees, our committees and the work of the Charity generally. I know it is invidious to pick out individuals but I do want to record in particular my special thanks to Joan Randall. With her many years of involvement in and knowledge of St Giles, Joan is a great sounding board for me. As the Chair of our House Committee, she visits Nicholas Rothwell very frequently keeping her finger on the pulse of the home and supporting Loraine. 

It has been a very satisfactory year for the Charity and we look forward to the future with optimism. 

Mr J H Peet - Trustee

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Charitable Objects of the Charity are the relief of poverty, hardship or need in Northampton and, at the  discretion of the Trustees, Northamptonshire by: 

1 - The provision and maintenance of almshouse accomodation. 

2 - The provision of financial or other support to the residents of the almshouses operated by the CIO. 

3 - The provision of financial or other support to the residents of the area of benefit who are in conditions of poverty, hardship or need. 

4 - At the absolute discretion of the Trustees, perusing any generable charitable purposes for the benefit of residents in the area of benefit. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The main activities undertaken to carry out the aims for the public benefit include the provision of grants for the poor and needy, the provision of Almshouses for occupation, financial assistance in supporting the care home and any other charitable projects which the Trustees regard as appropriate. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Grantmaking** 

The charity is charged with providing help to the poor and needy in Northamptonshire, which incorporates St. Giles Parish, in accordance with its charitable objectives. 

Except for the discretionary support of care home residents, we have no facilities for administering grants to individuals, so grants to individuals and smaller charities are sponsored by recognised local organisations. All such activity is overseen and authorised by the Grants Committee. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The results for the year are set out in the accounts attached herewith. The financial statements present the position of the CIO. The prior year comparatives are under Merger Accounting principles for the CIO and charity. 

The general fund amounted to £4,580,838 at 31 December 2025 (2024: £4,446,530). The movement during the year arose due to net outgoing resources of £30,371 (2024: £46,461 net outgoing) and realised loss on investments of £23,369, (2024: £62,152 gain), unrealised gains of £188,048 (2024: £66,762) and a revaluation gain on land and buildings of £Nil (2024: £Nil). 

The general, or unrestricted, reserves have increased at 31 December 2025, free reserves in unrestricted funds stood at £166,946 (2024: £350,350). In calculating this, the Trustees have excluded all fixed assets including investments which provide income for the charity and which are not readily available for spending. This figure includes any funds required for the maintenance of the Almshouses. The Trustees consider an ideal level of reserves to be at least the equivalent of six months unrestricted expenditure, which is approximately £528,000 (2024: £514,000). Our new investment managers, Cazenove's, will hold a proportion of our funds in managed liquidity investments to ensure we have sufficient reserves.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The principal sources of funding have continued to be fees charged to residents and investment income. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The Trustees are able to take a long view of investment returns with the objective of at least maintaining the value of the capital over the years and providing an income for our charitable purpose. This is only done by spreading the capital invested across a care home business, 11 Almshouses, cash, and a spread of funds managed on a cautious / medium risk basis, managed by Mercer Ltd during the year. This policy is revised annually. 

The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that specialist unit trusts, designed for the charity sector, together with government securities and investment in blue chip companies, meet their requirements to generate both income and capital growth. The Trustees consider the return on investments in the present economic climate to be satisfactory. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity to hold reserves in its unrestricted funds, which have not been committed or designated for any particular purpose other than for the operation of the Care Home and Almshouses. A Designated revaluation fund is maintained to recognise the movement in value of the Land and Buildings. 

The Trustees have set aside such reserves over the year in order to protect the future operations of the charity from the effects of unforeseen variations in its income streams, or similar variations in its expenditure. It is difficult to quantify an acceptable level of reserves and this remains a controversial subject. The SORP defines reserves as  income available to be spent at the Trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the Charity's objectives; but not yet spent, committed or designated. In the case of St Giles, such reserves have accumulated over many years. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees will continue to invest in and improve the care home and Almshouses to ensure that they can compare favourably with other local organisations. This has been seen recently with the changes that have been made to the care home. They will continue to use the available funds to support those in need in the borough and county. The Trustees shall also attempt to ensure that the assets continue to maintain their value in future years by investing in appropriate repairs and maintenance. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, its constitution, and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The board of Trustees is led by the Chairperson and meet at least twice a year to receive and discuss reports from the four sub-committees and to consider any other business as required. Further meetings may be called as needed. 

There are four sub committees - House, Almshouses, Grants, and Finance. Each of these have a Chair (who must be a Trustee) and meet regularly to discuss the business of the committee. The manager is responsible to the House Committee for the day to day management of Nicholas Rothwell House Care Home, Edward Watson Close  Almshouses and the finances of these. 

At the beginning of each meeting the Chairman asks for a declaration of interest in any item of the agenda. If any member has such an interest, they take no part in the discussion of that topic.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Trustees of the CIO are appointed for a term of three years. The exception is when it was first created the seven trustees were appointed from two years to four years to stagger the reappointments. The charity does not provide in-house training for trustees but advantage is taken of the many available courses provided by accountants, solicitors and business advisors which the Trustees attend as and when necessary. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

The remuneration of key management is set by the House Committee after consultation with the Finance Committee. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

Risk management is about achieving the right balance between risk and rewards and this applies to all sorts of undertakings including charities. 

Risk depends very much on the size and complexity of the charity itself. Operational issues include service quality, employment issues, health and safety, public liability and fraud. Financial issues include information, adequacy of reserves and cash flow. 

The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the systems established to mitigate these risks which include insurance. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of transactions and other procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity. 

In addition, the Trustees appreciate that the charity is operating in a period of political and economic uncertainty which could affect returns from investments which in turn could also affect the ability to help beneficiaries. This is  why the Trustees meet regularly with the reputable investment managers to ensure the portfolios are monitored and adhere to a policy agreed by the charity. The investment strategy is assessed regularly to ensure it remains appropriate to the charity's needs - both now and in the future.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of  fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Disclosure of information to auditors** 

Each person who was a Trustee at the time this report was approved confirms that: 

- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 6th July 2026. and signed on its behalf by:

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST GILES CHARITY ESTATES CIO** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of St Giles Charity Estates CIO (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of  accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we  conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST GILES CHARITY ESTATES CIO** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the  preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due  to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST GILES CHARITY ESTATES CIO** 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that  includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

-We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, UK corporate taxation laws. 

- We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management and by observing the oversight of management, the culture of honesty and ethical behaviour and whether strong emphasis is placed on fraud prevention, which may reduce the opportunities for fraud to take place, and fraud deterrence, which could persuade individuals not to commit fraud in the first instance. 

We corroborated our inquiries through our review of all relevant available audit information. > Identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

>Understanding of how senior management considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; 

>Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates: Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and. 

> Assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Going Concern** 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The have trustees considered the level of fund held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these accounts. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the levels of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of the receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations and grants received are credited on the statement of financial activities in the year to which they relate. 

No legacies were received or due to be received in the year but the charity's policy is to include these when  the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made, property transferred and the amount involved can be quantified. Should any legacies ever arise, they will be included in the statement of financial activities. 

## **Residents fees and Rental income** 

Residents fees and alms-houses' licence to occupy rental fees are included when receivable. 

## **Investment Income** 

Investment income, including dividends, associated income and tax recoveries, is recognised when receivable. 

## **Donations and gifts** 

All monetary donations and gifts are included in the accounts when receivable provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case the recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met or fulfilled of those conditions is wholly within the control of  the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. 

Cost of generating funds comprise all costs with raising income. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a  commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred directly to the fulfilment of the Charity's objectives. 

## **Support Costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity, but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs. 

## **Governance costs** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit , trustee and legal fees and trustee liability insurance. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Freehold land and buildings are held at valuation. The trustees obtain a professional valuation on a periodic basis with movements taken to a designated Revaluation Reserve held within the General Reserve. The carrying value is then reviewed for impairment to ensure that the carrying value reflects the recoverable amount. 

Plant and machinery is depreciated on a straight line basis over the expected economic life of the asset, normally five years. 

All expenditure less than £2,500 is written off to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year incurred. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service and any unused holiday entitlement is not permitted to be carried forward so all staff ensure they take their holidays before the holiday period ends. 

## **Debtors** 

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs. 

## **Creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price).

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Debtors** 

## **Provisions** 

Provisions (i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

## **Operating leases** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
