CHAIR’S FOREWORD
I AM HONOURED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AS THE NEW CHAIR OF ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION AND TO BE PART OF SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY ORGANISATION.
Having taken up the role in January 2025, I would like to extend my thanks to my predecessor, Ben Fletcher, for his dedication and leadership. Under his guidance, St John’s ensured that we continue to support those most in need across our community.
Last year was a truly remarkable one for St John’s. Our 850th anniversary celebrations were a testament to the Charity’s deep-rooted history and the unwavering commitment of our team, partners, and supporters.
While we take great pride in our past achievements, our focus is firmly on the future. We are now halfway through our 10-year strategic plan, and this is a pivotal time to reflect on our progress and adapt to meet the evolving needs of those we serve. Our mission remains as important today as it was 850 years ago – to provide security, support, and opportunity to those experiencing disadvantage in Bath and beyond.
Having lived in Bath for 25 years, I have seen first-hand the challenges our community faces. That is why I was so drawn to St John’s and why I am committed to building on its extraordinary legacy. I look forward to working closely with our dedicated team, Board, and partners to drive meaningful change and ensure we continue to make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
SANDY FORBES CHAIR, ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION
Thank you to everyone who has supported St John’s throughout this journey. Together, we will continue to evolve, grow, and make an even greater impact in the years ahead.

WELCOME FROM OUR CEO I AM DELIGHTED TO INTRODUCE OUR 2024 ANNUAL REPORT AND TO REFLECT ON WHAT HAS BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR FOR OUR CHARITY.
While I was formally appointed CEO in January 2025, I had the privilege of serving as Interim CEO from July 2024, following the retirement of David Hobdey. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to David for his six years of dedicated leadership and his unwavering commitment to furthering St John’s mission. His work has left a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for his service.
Last year marked a truly historic moment for St John’s as we celebrated our 850th anniversary. One of the highlights of this remarkable milestone was the visit from Her Majesty The Queen in February, when we held a special celebration at Bath Abbey. It was a moment of immense pride, bringing the Charity back to the heart of Bath and reinforcing our deep-rooted connection with the city. Our celebrations continued in June at Founder’s Day, where we honoured our almshouse residents – the very people at the heart of our mission.
As part of our anniversary campaign, we championed a unique and exciting project, funded by local organisations – a book called The Day the Alien Came, written by 192 children. This creative endeavour was a fantastic success and a testament to the incredible young people we support.
Beyond the celebrations, we remained steadfast in our founding mission: providing almshouse accommodation to older adults. In 2024, 102 people lived with us, and we were immensely proud that 100% of our residents in a recent survey said they felt treated with kindness, compassion, and dignity.
Our commitment to supporting the wider community continued through our crisis programme, which provided financial assistance to 654 people in need. We also deepened our work with under-served children, offering vital educational and behavioural support to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
CATHARINE BROWN CEO, ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION
2024 was a year of incredible achievements, and we are so proud of the impact we made. This annual report summarises our progress and the difference we have been able to make thanks to the dedication of our team, our partners, and our supporters. As we look ahead, we remain committed to honouring our 850-year legacy while embracing the future with optimism, innovation, and a renewed drive to support those who need us most.

INTRODUCTION
FOR OVER 850 YEARS, ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION HAS BEEN CHANGING PEOPLE’S LIVES, FOR GOOD. EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WORK IS BUILT UPON OUR VALUES OF TRUST, KINDNESS, AND COURAGE.
At the heart of St John’s mission is our charitable objective: to provide almshouse accommodation and relief to those who are in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, or other disadvantage within Bath and the surrounding area.
With over 850 years of history, St John's stands as the oldest charity in the Bath community. While the world around us has evolved, the challenges we aim to address have remained ever-present. We are committed to confronting these issues with unwavering determination, ensuring that those who need help most within our community receive the support, care, and opportunities they deserve.
Our focus is on creating an age-friendly community, one where older adults can live independently and with dignity for as long as possible, supported by both our housing and outreach services. In parallel, we continue to support individuals facing crisis, while striving to create environments where children can grow up happy, healthy, and well-educated.
This is the annual report and consolidated financial statements for St John's Foundation Est. 1174 ('St John's' or ‘the Charity’) and its subsidiary, St John's Hospital Trading Company Ltd, for the year ending 31 December 2024. These documents have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and SORP (FRS 102).

IN FEBRUARY, WE HAD THE HONOUR OF WELCOMING OUR PATRON, HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, TO CELEBRATE ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION’S 850TH ANNIVERSARY.
It was an unforgettable day, filled with joy as Her Majesty began her visit to our chapel, enjoying tea and cake with our almshouse residents. Her warmth and interest in their stories made the occasion incredibly special.
She then walked through Bath’s city centre, to the delight of the gathered public. At Bath Abbey, 500 primary school pupils from our partner schools waved St John’s flags, creating an electric atmosphere. The Queen stopped to greet many of the children, making the day truly magical for them.
Inside the Abbey, over 500 guests attended a celebration service led by Reverend Jacky Wise. It was a fitting tribute to our history and impact. To mark the occasion, Her Majesty unveiled a commemorative plaque, now placed in our courtyard – the very site where our journey began 850 years ago.
This visit was a highlight of an extraordinary year for St John’s and a reminder of the deep connections we share with the community. It was a day we will cherish forever, marking a historic milestone in the most special way.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN FOR BEING OUR PATRON AND FOR HER CONTINUOUS SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION.
WELCOMING OUR ROYAL PATRON

BEFORE I CAME TO ST JOHN’S I LIVED IN A HORRIBLE, COLD FLAT. Before I came to St John’s I lived in a horrible, cold flat. There were drug users and dealers outside my front door daily. Police raids had become a regular occurrence. My family and friends were so worried for my safety. I suffered from depression, and I was always worried about my security. I always double bolted my doors. I was there for 11 years until someone recommended St John’s to me. The rest is history.
I am so happy here. I feel the warmth, security, companionship, the respect and compassion of the staff. I have made friends, and we all look out for each other. I can get involved with the activities that interest me and I am always treated with respect and feel valued. I am so happy here, having been depressed before. I know I am warm and safe here.

MY SON IS A BUNDLE OF CREATIVITY AND JOY, ALWAYS EXCITED ABOUT SCHOOL.
He doesn’t have any specific dislikes in school and loves playtime with his friends and learning new things. He loves art and is incredibly crafty and creative. However, when he started school, we noticed some real difficulties he was having, particularly in language-based lessons and specifically around his reading.
Despite his positive attitude towards school, he really struggled with his speech and language. His speech was delayed, and reading was a real challenge for him. As a parent, it was horrible to see him frustrated and struggling when attempting to read.
The speech and language therapist that St John’s gave him has been incredible. It’s boosted his confidence so much and she’s been so patient with him. His phonics and pronunciation have improved significantly. His progress from last year is nothing short of remarkable. The time spent with the speech therapist has made an unbelievable difference. I can’t express enough how happy I am with the change I see in him and the difference in his development.

Bath is a beautiful city, but beneath its wealthy veneer are sections of the community that are facing a daily struggle to get by and put food on the table. In the Strategic Evidence Base report* for Bath and North East Somerset Council it was estimated another 4,000 people will fall into absolute poverty this year, including 1,500 children.
Much like in other locations, poverty across BaNES is a complex and often entrenched issue, stemming from multiple causes, therefore the provision of a variety of support services is vital in supporting our communities.
THIS IS WHY ST JOHN’S PROVIDES SUPPORT THROUGH OUR CRISIS PROGRAMME. WE OFFER FINANCIAL AID TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
The programme aims to fulfil the most essential needs, such as providing white goods, furniture, counselling, and debt support. The programme also offers basic skills training to people who are struggling to access training or education opportunities, to help them gain secure employment and escape poverty.
To be eligible for support, the individual or family must be living within Bath and North East Somerset with a monthly disposable income of less than £250 for a household with no dependent children, £275 for a household with up to two dependent children, or £300 for a household with three or more dependent children.

A PARENT WITH TWO CHILDREN HAD TO MOVE QUICKLY TO ESCAPE DOMESTIC ABUSE, FLEEING WITH ONLY MINIMAL FURNITURE AND WITHOUT THE CHILDREN’S BELONGINGS.
An application was made to St John’s by the children’s primary school for new furniture, which included a desk for the eldest child to do their homework and a new bike, as their previous one had to be left behind.
The school reported that this support was invaluable for the family and helped them all to settle and create a new safe homely environment of fun and happiness, providing the children with items that all children should have.

CRISIS PROJECT FUND - 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
IN ADDITION TO THE GRANTS GIVEN TO INDIVIDUALS THROUGH OUR CRISIS PROGRAMME, WE ALSO SUPPORT THREE KEY INITIATIVES, EACH DESIGNED TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM SUPPORT AND STABILITY FOR THOSE IN NEED.
Cosy Start (£30,000) marked its third and final year as a pilot scheme in partnership with social housing provider Curo. The initiative aimed to help new tenants by providing basic furnishings and carpets, reducing financial strain and increasing tenancy success. Since its launch in February 2023, 21 households have benefitted, with none experiencing tenancy failure - compared to a 9% failure rate usually seen in new tenancies.
Citizens Advice Debt Caseworkers (£49,350) continued to receive support for dedicated roles focused on income maximisation and debt reduction. Now in its fifth year, this funding has helped Citizens Advice generate over £1.5 million in financial outcomes for clients.
3SG Director Role Core Funding (£20,000) ensured continued leadership for 3SG, an organisation vital to BaNES' charity sector. Throughout 2024, their director played a key role in navigating funding and commissioning challenges as the local authority reduced spending and the Integrated Care Board adjusted its processes. With funding secured until July 2026, 3SG plans to recruit a business development manager to explore future sustainability.

OUR 850TH YEAR
2024 MARKED A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE FOR ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION AS WE CELEBRATED OUR 850TH ANNIVERSARY.
On the 1st February, we held a Service of Celebration at Bath Abbey and were delighted to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to the city. Attendees included our beneficiaries, supporters, community members, all of the St John’s team, and our partners. Her Majesty’s attendance at the event made the occasion even more special, with children from local schools and members of the public lining the streets as Her Majesty approached the Abbey after having enjoyed tea and cake with our almshouse residents.
In the summer, the team transformed SouthGate into a spectacular English garden, with a St John’s branded installation at the heart of the shopping centre.
In June, we proudly celebrated our 850th Founder’s Day , bringing together residents, Board, and staff for a wonderful afternoon of entertainment, tea and fun. The day was filled with performances from our residents and delicious catering provided by The Francis Hotel.
We created a one-of-a-kind children’s book The Day the Alien Came . Alongside children’s author Stewart Foster and illustrator Andrew Prescott, we worked with 192 pupils from the seven primary schools that we support. The book was sold to raise money to be used to buy books for libraries of the schools who contributed.

WHEN ST JOHN’S LAUNCHED ITS CURRENT STRATEGY IN FEBRUARY 2020, A STRATEGIC ASSET REVIEW WAS UNDERTAKEN TO ASSESS THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION. THIS CONCLUDED THAT THE CHARITY SHOULD REDUCE ITS RELIANCE ON PROPERTY INVESTMENTS.
This will enable St John's to reinvest the funds in other classes of investment assets. It will help achieve a more balanced mix of investments and therefore generate the income St John's requires to continue implementing its ambitious programme of charitable activities, as well as maintaining the financial health of the Charity for future generations.

Establishing, in collaboration with others, an age-friendly community across Bath and North East Somerset. This includes maintaining and growing our almshouse accommodation.
-
Building communities where every child under 12 is supported to grow into a healthy, happy, and educated member of the community, courtesy of the Best Start in Life.
-
Providing funding for individuals in crisis, courtesy of the Crisis Programme.
-
The length of St John's tenure is testament to the Charity's ability to move with the times and continue to deliver a wide range of services that address the changing needs of our community. St John’s will continue to review the impact of our charitable arms and will continue to work with its partners to deliver our aims and shape future work.
In 2025, St John’s will conduct a strategic review to enhance the effectiveness and impact of our charitable services within the community.

THE TRADING COMPANY IS OWNED BY THE CHARITY AND GENERATES VITAL REVENUE TO SUPPORT ST JOHN’S BY GIFTING AS MUCH OF ITS TAXABLE PROFITS AS POSSIBLE, WITH THE GOAL OF DONATING 100% OF ITS PROFITS TO THE CHARITY.
St Catherine’s, a beautifully refurbished Grade II listed building in the heart of Bath, now features ten boutique one-bedroom serviced apartments. Overlooking a peaceful courtyard garden, these offer a serene city retreat. In January 2024, we partnered with Curated Property, a new booking agent who has helped boost bookings at St Catherine’s.
The House of St John’s , launched by the Trading Company in 2022, provides a range of private offices, dedicated desks, co-working spaces, and a stylish event venue. In 2024, the House expanded its offerings to include wedding ceremonies on Saturdays, ensuring that the building is utilised to its full potential outside of business hours.
ST JOHN’S HOSPITAL TRADING COMPANY
Due to the need to repay set up costs and the time required to grow the business, the Trading Company has experienced trading losses in its initial years and gift aiding of profits is not anticipated in 2025. It has paid rent for the use of its properties of £204k this year. The focus is on developing a sustainable business which will lead to a long-term profit stream. The growth of the business has been slower than originally anticipated but a change in executive management in 2023 has helped to ensure robust business plans are in place to repay debt and provide future profits. This has involved adapting to the market challenges and maximising the use of the building for both business and consumer use. The introduction of weddings and strengthening of meeting and event usage has been part of this.

GOVERNANCE - DECISION MAKING
The Board held five formal meetings and two development days during 2024 to determine strategy, approve financial plans, and consider key policies. The Board has delegated authority for certain decisions to committees, which are made up of Directors with relevant experience and/or qualifications. Professional advisors attend these committees when necessary to add their insight.
THE CHARITY GOVERNANCE CODE
THE CODE (PUBLISHED IN 2017 AND REVIEWED IN 2020) SETS OUT SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE, INCLUDING:
DECISION MAKING, EQUALITY, OPENNESS ORGANISATIONAL BOARD LEADERSHIP INTEGRITY RISK DIVERSITY AND PURPOSE EFFECTIVENESS AND CONTROL AND INCLUSION ACCOUNTABILITY
The Board recognise that effective governance is essential in enabling the Charity to meet its aims.
During the year, the Board commissioned an independent review of the Charity’s governance practices against the Code. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the Board has established a structured development programme to uphold the highest standards across the seven principles of good governance.
To support this, the Board has introduced in 21 May 2025 a new Governance and Nominations Committee which will lead the implementation of the review’s recommendation and drive ongoing governance improvements.

COMMITTEES
CHARITABLE DELIVERY & IMPACT COMMITTEE
The purpose of this committee is to assure the Board that there is an adequate system in place to measure strategic charitable delivery and impact of the organisation. While CDIC’s primary function is assurance, its purpose also includes supporting continuous improvement in the way impact is measured and demonstrated.
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The purpose of this committee is to recommend the investment strategy for the Charity and to assure the Board that there is an adequate system of processes and controls in place to ensure all the Charity’s investment portfolios, including the property portfolio are appropriately managed to deliver the agreed investment objectives.
TRADING COMPANY BOARD
The purpose of this committee is to ensure that the Trading Company is well managed, in compliance with all relevant regulations and in the best interests of the Charity except where prohibited under UK law (for example where there is an unavoidable conflict of interest).
REMUNERATION AND NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE
The REMCO is a committee of and established under the authority of the Board. Its main purpose is to oversee the Trustee appointment process and to ensure that St John’s has effective remuneration, nomination and Board recruitment policies and procedures in place, which are fair and transparent, adhere to all relevant legislation and support the strategy, objectives and values of St John’s.
AUDIT & RISK
The purpose of this committee is to assure the Board that there is an adequate system of risk management in place for the activities of the Charity and which ensures effective delivery of all its services, including compliance with all relevant regulations that relate to the Charity’s activities. This includes overseeing the accounts and audit process.
ALMSHOUSE DEVELOPMENT
This committee was established to recommend decisions to the Board on how St John’s fulfils its obligation to the Charity Commission to spend £1.9m on almshouse accommodation. The Committee assures the Board that there is an adequate system of processes and controls in place to ensure that the repurposing is carried out in a way that meets best practice and maximises charitable impact for future beneficiaries.

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING
During 2024, there was a significant recruitment campaign for directors, with new directors appointed in the first quarter of 2025. The Board determined the appointment procedures for new directors including how the vacancies were advertised through social media and an external recruitment agency. This helped to ensure the Charity could recruit directors from diverse
professional backgrounds. The Board agreed the terms and conditions of appointment and the interview process, which involved a minimum of 2 existing directors. The recruitment panel then nominated candidates for approval by the board. In April 2025 a new Governance and Nominations Committee was created and will take over the recruitment process.
Once appointed new directors are provided with training through an induction pack. This includes a director handbook and the pack was reviewed and significantly updated to reflect best practice at the start of 2025 and shared with all directors. As part of the induction directors identify their skills and training needs with further training offered where needs are identified. Throughout the year the Charity updates directors using seminars and briefings. Other opportunities for continued professional development are offered on a voluntary basis to the Board, with directors feeding back on the skills they wish to focus on developing further. A budget exists to pay for directors to attend individual, and skill-based CPD events.

FUNDRAISING
In recognition of the Charity’s 850th anniversary in 2024, St John’s undertook a range of fundraising initiatives. The primary purpose of these was to raise awareness of the charity and the causes it supports rather than generating significant funds. In March, eight runners participated in the Bath Half Marathon on behalf of St John’s, raising a total of £1,742 through the donation platform JustGiving. These events are designed to encourage voluntary contributions without placing any pressure on individuals. As a result, there is minimal perceived risk to vulnerable individuals or the wider public in relation to our fundraising activities. Additionally, we do not engage external partners to raise funds on our behalf. The Charity’s Trading Company operates as a social enterprise, generating revenue to support our mission.
A key partnership in 2024 was with SouthGate Bath, where we installed an English Garden display at the heart of the shopping centre. Visitors were encouraged to take photos within the installation and donate an amount of their choice to St John’s, raising £760. In December, we collaborated with SouthGate Bath again for their Christmas display, where visitors could donate £1 to illuminate a giant penguin. This initiative raised £960.
In preparation for the 850th campaign, under the impression that people may want to donate in our milestone year, we set up a dedicated fundraising page on the Charity’s website in 2023. The Charity registered with the Fundraising Regulator, demonstrating our commitment to the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Promise. QR codes and links to the fundraising page have been included in Charity publications, ensuring that anyone interested in donating or fundraising is directed to the appropriate platform. Donations are processed through JustGiving, enabling eligible taxpayers to Gift Aid their contributions.
To provide transparency, our fundraising page includes frequently asked questions covering topics such as St John’s fundraising approach, the regulatory Code we adhere to, and the complaints process. In 2024, the Charity received zero complaints regarding fundraising practices (2023: zero).
All communications and actions related to leveraging the Charity for commercial advantage comply with the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, ensuring full regulatory adherence to this Act. We are committed to ethical fundraising and take particular care when engaging with individuals who may be in vulnerable circumstances. We recognise that vulnerability can take many forms, including age, mental or physical health conditions, disability, or life events that may affect a person’s ability to make an informed decision. We do not knowingly solicit or accept donations from anyone we believe may be unable to give informed consent, and we are committed to reviewing and, if appropriate, refunding donations made under such circumstances.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
CHARITABLE INCOME
Income from charitable activities, which includes income from almshouses and residential care, increased by £139,000 (14%) in 2024 from 2023.
The monthly maintenance charge paid by residents within the almshouses was reviewed in year and increased in alignment with the Local Housing Allowance. This was the main driver of the 14% increase in income from charitable activities.
Income from donations increased by £10k in 2024 to £13k.
INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment income in 2024 was £3.5m (2023: £3.9m). Within this, property income continued to fall as properties were sold and/or held vacant for disposal. Residential income fell by £100,000 (13%) and commercial income by £358,000 (20%). This was offset by higher dividend income with financial investment income increasing by 6% in year from £1.35m to £1.4m. With property disposals planned into 2025 and the reinvestment of proceeds into the financial investments to diversify the investment portfolio, the trend seen in 2024 from property income to dividends, is expected to continue into 2025. The shifting focus of the investment portfolio is also likely to see income levels fall with more emphasis on capital gains under the total return approach.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
As discussed above, the Trading Company saw an increase in overall income of £111,000 (14%) following improved years for both the House of St John’s and St Catherine’s apartments.
The House of St John’s generated income from office rental, event space hire and co-working memberships. The business operated at a loss which was anticipated whilst new income streams are being developed. The House of St John’s produced turnover of £552,000 in 2024 (£455,000 in 2023) and an overall loss of £118,000 (£186,000 in 2023).
During 2023, the holiday apartment operator running St Catherine’s on the trading company’s behalf went into voluntary liquidation. The running of the business was transferred to a company connected to the directors of the liquidated business for a few months whilst St John’s sought a new managing agent. The new managing agents were appointed in January 2024 and started trading with St Catherine’s in February 2024. These changes led to reduced income and higher costs during the transition. However, the business has recovered well in 2024, producing income of £363,000 (2023: £350,000) and a small loss of £27,000 (2023: profit of £136,000).

FINANCIAL REVIEW
EXPENDITURE
Total expenditure in 2024 was £7.2m (2023: £6.8m).
CHARITABLE DELIVERY
Expenditure on charitable delivery was £399,000 (8%) higher in 2024 than in 2023.
Spending on Older Adults Services was £2,696,000 in 2024 (2023: £2,391,000), but 1% lower than the 2024 budget of £2,721,000. Awards of £79,000 were given to projects dedicated to older people in B&NES in 2024 (2023: £nil). Central overheads reallocated were £165,000 higher in 2024 than in 2023, reflecting 850th celebrations (£152,000 in total, £79,000 of which has been allocated to Older Adults Services), and staff costs are also higher overall in 2024 reflecting inflationary increases, maternity leave and one-off costs.
Spending on Funding and Impact was £2,669,000 in 2024 (2023: £2,575,000), and 1.5% lower than the 2024 budget, in line with planned spending on the Best Start in Life and crisis funds, the activities of which are detailed earlier in this report.
COSTS OF RAISING FUNDS
The cost of raising funds fell by 8% in 2024 to £1,046,000. The reduction was driven by lower property management costs, following property sales.
Listed investment management costs were £214,000 in 2024 (62% higher than £132,000 in 2023) due to higher valuations including £3m of transfers into listed investments from property (fees are based on portfolio valuation).
Before allocation of central overheads, spending on property management costs fell by £186,000 to £562,000 (2023: £749,000). Repair costs fluctuate year on year and are programmed over a 30-year property plan. Higher costs had been budgeted for in 2024 but repairs which were not deemed essential or likely to generate a return on sale were not undertaken on properties due for disposal. The disposal strategy should lead to repair costs reducing each year as the number of buildings in the portfolio reduces. Costs associated with new leases and renewals on the commercial estate were £50k (52%) lower in 2024 than in the prior year, and this is due to the terms of individual leases (£34,000 of the £97,000 spend in 2023 relates to a single property).
VOLUNTEERS
The Charity supports people in Bath and North East Somerset with the valued help of a small team of volunteers who work with the Good Living Service. We are incredibly grateful for the time and effort of the volunteers who support the activities of the Charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
ANNUAL DEFICIT
Overall, the operating deficit for 2024 was £1.58m (2023: £1.08m) before gains and losses on investments.
Valuation gains on both listed investments and the property portfolio have created a positive movement in funds of £1.8m (2023: £3.4m) to leave an overall positive net movement in funds of £240k (2023: £2.344m).
Valuation gains are recognised as the Charity adopts a total return method of accounting. This was first adopted from the 1st of January 2013. On this date the initial value of the unapplied total return was £45.5m and the core capital endowment was valued at £35.0m. In arriving at these values, the Board used the indexed values of the permanent endowment at 1 January 1995 to represent the preserved value of the original gift.
CALCULATING OUR INFLATION +4% TARGET:
The Charity has set a target to achieve a total return from its investments of inflation +4% on average each year. ‘Total return’ is the sum of valuation gains and income (e.g., dividends or rent).
The Board recognises that market volatility could cause the value of its investments to fluctuate each year. However, given the Charity’s overall financial strength, and the focus of the Charity on long-term housing through almshouses, a longer-term view is deemed more important. The target is therefore measured as an average over a rolling five-year period.
Investment management costs, like fees charged by investment managers, are deducted within the calculation. This means that it is a net CPI+4% return which is targeted to provide the whole CPI+4% to support charitable activities.
WHY CPI +4%?
CPI (the Consumer Prices Index) is a measure of inflation. The use of an appropriate measure of inflation is important. The Retail Prices Index (RPI) was historically used by the Charity but following careful consideration, the Board agreed to move to CPI from 1 January 2021. By ensuring the investments grow in line with inflation, the value of investments is protected to support the needs of future generations. In 2024 the permanent endowment was increase by £1.36m for CPI (2023: £2.06m CPI).
The Charity also relies on income and capital growth from its investments to fund its charitable activities today. The 4% return targeted above inflation is targeted for drawing down to spend on supporting current beneficiaries. In 2024 £5.4m of unapplied total return was allocated to income (2023: £4.5m).
43
Docusign Envelope ID: 366E483A-15B8-482B-8514-45F3C153E92D
INVESTMENTS
At the year end, the Charity held £103.9m of investments (2023: £105.1m). Of this, £43.5m (42%) was property in Bath (2023: £51.7m / 45%).
The Investment Committee has agreed a target strategic allocation of assets (i.e., mix of different types of investments), designed to create the highest return at an acceptable level of risk. The need to rebalance the investment portfolio (by buying and selling assets) is assessed at least annually with a detailed plan in place to achieve any identified need to rebalance the portfolio. Other investments (including a social loan, and cash balances) have not been included, as these make up less than 0.5% of the total value.
A FEW NOTES ON OUR INVESTMENT POLICY
80%
INVESTMENTS AND STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION
Portfolio Strategy and Composition: Since adopting its current strategy in 2020, the Charity has sought to reduce reliance on direct property in favour of greater diversification through financial investments. In 2024, five properties were sold, generating £5.9m for potential reinvestment. The portfolio now comprises 42% property and 58% financial assets, moving toward the long-term target of 30:70. While diversification remains a priority, the Investment Committee continues to assess market timing and retains flexibility where properties yield strong income or serve the charitable mission.
Performance and Income: The portfolio delivered a total return of 4.1% in 2024, below the long-term benchmark of CPI +4% (8.7%), largely due to a £2.3m downward revaluation of property. Nonetheless, income performance was resilient, supported by stable financial returns and continued rental contributions from unsold properties.
Forthcoming Strategic Review: In the second half of 2025, the Charity will undertake a Strategic Asset Review to reassess the optimal portfolio mix, risk appetite, and drawdown strategy. This will support long-term decisions on liquidity, capital preservation, and mission alignment within our Total Return approach, reinforcing the Charity’s commitment to financial resilience and meaningful impact.

RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
The Board recognise the importance of responsible investment (RI) and during 2021 the Investment Policy was amended to better reflect the values of the Charity. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) were recognised as a good indicator of this for investments and the following goals have been adopted as the Charity’s investment values:
UNSD Goal 1 – No poverty
-
UNSD Goal 2 – Zero hunger
-
UNSD Goal 3 - Good health and well-being
-
UNSD Goal 4 – Quality education
-
UNSD Goal 10 – Reduced inequalities
-
UNSD Goal 11 – Sustainable cities and communities
The Board does not impose any strict exclusion criteria in relation to the investment values (though appointee investment managers may themselves have their own baseline exclusions). The investment values should provide a guiding context for investment decision making as they are important to the Charity. Any possible misalignment of investment with the guiding principles are raised on a quarterly basis with the Investment Committee.
The Board also seeks continuous improvement in how the Charity’s investments can be better aligned to its investment values whilst still providing the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. In the first instance the Board expect the following in relation to RI considerations: Investment managers must be signatories of the UN Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and report annually to the Board on their performance against the UN PRI.
-
Investment managers are required to report to the Board on any baseline level of investment exclusions applied by them to the Charity’s portfolios and the Board is to be kept appraised of any developments in exclusion policy by the investment managers.
-
Where investment managers place the Charity’s funds with 3rd party managers, the investment managers must ensure that the third-party managers are also signatories of the UN PRI, and they must evaluate their performance in relation to this.
-
Annual reports are to be provided to the Board showing how the Charity’s managed portfolios are performing in relation to RI considerations and where possible, this should be reported in relation to the Charity’s investment values. The Board acknowledge that this reporting will be emergent but expects it to become more mature over time to enable the Board to track how well the Charity’s investments are aligned to the Charity’s values. It is expected that investment managers will report to the Investment Committee on a quarterly basis on any conduct breach of the UN Global
-
Compact by companies within our investment portfolio.
Individual investments may be excluded if seen to conflict with the investment values.

CHARITY RESERVES
Most of the Charity’s reserves are held as investments. The income from these investments is needed to support today’s beneficiaries, as well as future generations. The Board therefore protect a significant proportion of reserves for future use. At the end of 2024, total Charity reserves were £114.9m (2023: £114.7m).
The Charity adopts a zero “free” reserves policy. This policy aims to draw down funds from the unapplied total returns into unrestricted reserves only as required to meet operational expenditure in any given year, including enough to cover commitments at year end.
However, not all the unrestricted fund is relevant in calculating free reserves and a zero ‘free’ reserves policy does not mean that the unrestricted fund is zero. The following are still held in the unrestricted fund and excluded in calculating the ‘free’ reserves as they are not readily available for spending:
Any operational fixed assets not already excluded from unrestricted funds through the functional endowment (e.g., head office) of £1.7m (2023: £1.7m).
Committed awards or building contracts, not included as a liability in the accounts of £1.2m (except those already excluded from unrestricted funds through the functional endowment) (2023: £1.2m).

| “FREE” RESERVES | £NIL | |||
| TOTAL RESERVES | £115,682 |
At 31 December 2024, there were £nil free reserves. In 2023, there was a deficit of £0.5m, such that the accounts showed insufficient unrestricted reserves held to meet the commitments that existed at the time. However, this deficit was corrected by “top up” transfers from unapplied total return to unrestricted funds during 2024.
The Boards considers a zero “free” reserves policy to be a reasonable approach as the Charity adopts a total return approach and holds significant unapplied total returns which can be expended as required. The level of reserves required for transfer must be set prior to the year end and is usually set at a high-level estimate of what is required.
The level of unapplied total returns is managed carefully to ensure that the Charity has financial resilience but also maximises the charitable impact by not holding surplus funds. This is achieved through long term financial planning to ensure that investments are maintained at a level which will produce sufficient returns to fund the almshouses, the Good Living Service and funding awards for future generations and protects the spending power of this by inflation. Unapplied total returns in excess of this are expendable on the Best Start in Life strategy and other subsequent strategies and can be released for expenditure by resolution of the Board.
As a long-term approach is taken, the level of unapplied total returns in any one year is expected to fluctuate but the average position is considered and taken into financial planning to determine spending plans and budgets.

RISKS
Within the Charity, each team actively manages its own risk register to ensure mitigating actions are carried out and scoring is up to date. High-scoring risks (i.e., those with significant likelihood and impact) are included on the Corporate Risk Register. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Corporate Risk Register four times a year and may suggest further actions to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk.
The key risks St John’s manages can be summarised into charitable impact, economic and people related risks as follows:
Charitable impact risk: failure to achieve and/or demonstrate charitable impact to the extent intended. Mitigating actions: Robust due diligence processes are in place for established charitable work throughout the crisis programme and almshouses. The 2020 – 2030 strategy, covering all aspects of charitable delivery including its ambitious goal to reduce the attainment gap in Bath and North East Somerset, is supported by evaluation and delivery partners, and a system of capabilities to drive continuous improvement. A detailed strategic review is planned in 2025 which will further focus on mitigating this risk.
Economic Risk: Failure to achieve the targeted total return which impacts the income/ capital required to pursue strategic aims. This encompasses the short-term volatility in investment values particularly in current economic climate.
Mitigating actions: The Charity takes a long-term view on its investments, and it uses professional investment managers for the financial portfolio to enable recovery and future growth, and to mitigate short-term impacts. The direct property portfolio is proactively managed with agents’ advice. The long-term financial plan is regularly refreshed and guides discussion, planning and decision making at Investment Committee and Board. The new investment strategy and divestment of properties is a mitigating action to this risk by better diversifying the portfolio. On an operational level, employees are supported to regularly engage with budget/ forecasting exercises, actively manage contracts, and consider costs throughout projects to ensure financial efficiency in delivering strategic aims.
People-related risk: A member of staff is unexpectedly unable to carry out their duties, which has a detrimental impact on service delivery or creates a risk through lack of information sharing. This risk is naturally high for a small organisation with several small but specialist roles. The risk has increased with employee absences due to ill-health and a turnover in the executive team.
Mitigating actions: Small teams such as finance and governance have developed clear procedure notes for people to follow in the event of absences. Document storage structures are centralised to improve visibility and access across teams with consistency of approach. If needed, the technology team is able to open access to all folders as directed by executive approval. Where possible, teams are encouraged to share and shadow key tasks to reduce the reliance on any one role. The new finance system will include clear delegation routes which enables redirection in the event of absence and the organisation’s culture focuses on collaboration encouraging people to handover where as much as possible before an absence and that teams work together in the event of unplanned absence.

GOING CONCERN
The Charity considers that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has adopted the going concern assumption in preparing these financial statements.
The Board actively plan for the Charity to exist for many years, and this is reflected in the approaches taken to both long-term planning of investments and reserves, detailed above. These approaches (including the planned level of unapplied total returns held by the Charity and the discretion that it has over its expenditure) mean that whilst heavily reliant on investment returns, the Board consider the Charity to be resilient to shorter-term volatility in its investments and plans are in place to remain adequately resourced to meet the need of both present and future beneficiaries. To provide ample headroom, overdraft facilities are in place which cover a reasonable worstcase scenario for cash flow and if required, the financial investments could be liquidated.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE COMPANY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustee Company is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee Company to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity and the group for that period.
-
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee Company is required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments 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; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustee Company is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions, that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enables it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.
It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustee Company is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Crowe U.K. LLP have been appointed as auditors in the period. A resolution for the reappointment of Crowe U.K. LLP as auditors for the Charity will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
th
The Trustees’ Report and this Statement of Trustee Company Responsibilities are authorised for issue by the Board of the Trustee Company on 26 June 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST JOHN’S FOUNDATION EST. 1174
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of St. John’s Foundation Est. 1174 (‘the Charity’) and its subsidiary (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise Consolidated statement of financial activities, Consolidated Balance sheet, Charity Balance sheet, Consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent Charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 Trustee Company's 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 or the group’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.
51
Docusign Envelope ID: 366E483A-15B8-482B-8514-45F3C153E92D
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustee Company with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Trustee Company is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.
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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustee report; or sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent Charity; 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE COMPANY
As explained more fully in the Trustee Company responsibilities statement set out on page 50 the Trustee Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee Company 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 Trustee Company is responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 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 Trustee Company either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
52
Docusign Envelope ID: 366E483A-15B8-482B-8514-45F3C153E92D
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 an auditor’s report 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. Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the Charity and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the Charity’s and the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the Charity and the group for fraud.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustee Company and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and investment properties. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and designing audit procedures over investment properties.
53
Docusign Envelope ID: 366E483A-15B8-482B-8514-45F3C153E92D
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
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.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Board, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s Trustee Company those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustee Company as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

To provide ample headroom, overd raft facilities are in place which cover a reasonable worst.case scenario for cash flow and if q Uld. the financial investments could be liquidated, Income CognItion Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement tothe income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income Ceivable can be measured reliably. DivideThJ income is recognised when the d ividend has been declared. Interest on capitsl is recognised when receivable 3rKI the 3mountc3n be measured rel iably. This is upon notification by our investment advisors orthe bank of the dividend or InteSt yield.

Particular attention has been given this yearto assessing the probabil ity of CeiVIng nts1 income befo it is recognised (see accounting policy "key sources of estimation uncertainty").
