2 Structure, Governance and Management of the Group
History
The Trust was founded by Henry and Monica Wills in 1925.
The group is structured as three entities – the parent charity St Monica Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries St Monica Trading Limited (incorporated on 17 November 2017) and Somerdale Pavilion Trust (incorporated on 17 December 2018). The parent conducts the charitable operations of St Monica Trust. St Monica Trading Limited was established to conduct the commercial operations undertaken at St Monica Trust’s retirement village at Keynsham. The current activities being undertaken by the company include the sale of food in the B Block Café and Somer Dining Restaurant and secondly, the provision of leisure services. These services are available to residents and members of the general public. Somerdale Pavilion Trust was established to conduct the charitable activities of that Trust in providing and maintaining a pavilion, playing fields and other facilities for the use of the inhabitants of Keynsham and the surrounding areas.
Governing instrument and objects
The Trust is constituted by a Charity Commission Scheme sealed on 30 June 2005.
An amendment to the Trust’s governing document was granted by the Charity Commission on 26 February 2010. The objects of the Trust, defined in clause 4 of the Scheme, which should be referred to for exact details, are from this date:
“The objects of the charity are, for the public benefit, the relief of those individuals (and if appropriate their spouses) who are in need by reason of age, disability or ill-health by the provision of:
(a) accommodation and associated facilities; and/or (b) other services or assistance”.
Organisational structure
As of 1 January 2021, following an executive restructure, the committee structure was amended to ensure that the committee structure follows the revised operational structure of the Trust. Membership of the existing committees at the year-end was as follows:
The Finance and Transformation Committee
The purpose of the Committee is to exercise oversight of the business health of the Trust including the establishing of annual budgets and liaising with the Endowment Trustee in relation to financial planning. It is also responsible for overseeing the Trust’s transformation programme.

Trustee induction and training
The Corporate Trustee is appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme of St Monica Trust. The Directors of the Company are regarded for the internal governance purposes as being a Trustee of the Charity. On appointment each Trustee signs a Code of Conduct and attends induction meetings with other Trustees and Executives. Trustees are given a Trustee Handbook, which includes the Trustee Code of Conduct, the Charity Commission Scheme, a copy of the Risk Register and procedures on issues such as delegation of authority, recruitment, equal opportunities, investment, reserves and conflict of interest and other guidance. This information contains role descriptions of Trustees and senior executives and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet CC3. New Trustees meet with the President and Chief Executive and are invited to an induction tour of each of the Trust’s locations. According to their skills and aptitude, they take responsibility for at least one area of activity by appointment to a sub-committee of the Council. Training needs are assessed and met.
Senior Staff Pay policy
The Trust recognises the importance of transparency and accountability in all aspects of our work and we are committed to open information. This includes transparency about our Executive Team’s salaries and how they are set.
The Trustee considers the Council and sub-committees and the Chief Executive as comprising the key management personnel of the Charity in charge of directing and controlling the Charity and running and operating the Charity on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 28 to the accounts.
Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Executive and, in accordance with the Trust’s policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
The pay of the Charity’s Chief Executive is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The remuneration is bench-marked with charities of a similar size and activity to ensure that the remuneration set is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles.

Risk assessment
In the light of the Corporate Governance guidance contained within the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, the Council with the assistance of the Society of Merchant Venturers of Bristol have examined the major risks faced by the Trust and the endowment. They have developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate the impact that they may have on the Trust in the future. Each Committee of the Council reviews aspects of the risks pertinent to that Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for the overall review and update of the Risk Register at least once a year.
Financial risk management
The following statements summarise the Trust’s policy in managing identified forms of financial risk:
• Price risk – The Trust negotiates contracts and fee rates to finance aspects of the Trust’s activities and incorporates this information into its business plan. Salary costs are communicated to staff during the formal annual review of salaries. Prices of services and materials purchased are subject to contracts with suppliers, based on current market prices. The Trust is also able to respond to purchase price inflation by adjusting in most cases our fee income accordingly.
- Credit risk – credit risk on accounts owed to the Trust by its customers is low, as the majority of debtors are Local Authorities
• Liquidity risk – the Trust currently has borrowing facilities of £40.7m expiring in June 2022 (2020: £40.9m), £20.7m was drawn down as at 31 December 2021 (2020: £24.9m), of which £0.7m is longterm (2020: £24.7m). These were replaced in June 2022 with a new £20m revolver bank loan with Natwest.
• Interest rate cash flow risk – the Trust is able to place surplus funds in a short-term deposit account with its bankers. The Trust carries the risk of interest rate fluctuations on its £20m RCF. The magnitude of the size of the loan is considered insignificant.
• Investment market risk – the Trust invests in a diversified portfolio of investments and properties in order to spread the risk.
Going concern
The Trust’s activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in this Report of the Trustee. The balance sheet on page 28 sets out the financial position of the Trust and its cash flows can be seen in the cash flow statement on page 27.
The Trust meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through a combination of cash generated by the sale of leasehold properties, investment income from the permanent endowment and Revolving Credit Facilities. The latter also funds any capital development expenditure.
The Trustees have reviewed financial forecasts for a period of 12 months and beyond from the date of signature of these financial statements. Key uncertainties are:
-
The performance of the leasehold sales cycle;
-
Occupancy within the Trust’s care homes and retirement living properties.
-
Cost inflation.
-
Performance of its investments.

Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
Going concern continued
Having considered these uncertainties and other factors including the value of its endowment assets, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future not withstanding its net current liability position. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Related parties and connected charities
Details of related parties and connected charities and transactions with them are disclosed in note 28 to the financial statements.
Reserves
The accounting policies on pages 29 to 35 describe the various funds of the Trust. Note 22 to the Financial Statements shows the assets and liabilities attributable to the various funds by type and summarises the year’s movement on each fund.
The Trustee policy is to build up unrestricted reserves equivalent to approximately 12 months projected operating costs of the Residential Care and Support and the Grants and Gifts objects. This will be achieved through retained surpluses on the Unrestricted Fund and will incorporate the value of the Designated Fund. At 31 December 2021 the value of unrestricted reserves was £38.0m (2020: £38.8m).
Grant-making policy – Residents’ subsidies and support in the community
Applications for subsidies against full fees for residents and grants to support the community are monitored by the Council.
3. Objectives, Activities, Achievements and Performance
(A) Overview
The Trust continued to feel the impact of the coronavirus pandemic throughout 2021. A primary objective of the Trust remained our ongoing response to COVID-19 and protecting the health and well-being of our residents, colleagues and volunteers from the virus.
The restructuring of the Executive team and creation of new directorates was successfully embedded in 2021. The first phase of the Trust’s recovery plan delivered £1m of operating efficiencies whilst maintaining key frontline services. It is anticipated that the recovery plan will run until the end of the 2023 financial year.
The decision taken by Trustees in 2020 to close the Care at Home service to customers outside of the Trust’s villages was implemented in the 2[nd] quarter of 2021. This facilitated the restructure of Care and Support services across our retirement villages.

(B) The focus of our work
In 2021 a major focus of the Trust remained the protection of both its residents and staff as successive waves of the pandemic were felt through the year.
The Trust’s key actions included:
-
Continued application of high levels of infection prevention and control measures that often exceeded government guidelines.
-
Continual review of our COVID response through weekly meetings of our COVID Response Team.
-
Agile implementation and communication of government guideline changes across our services to residents and staff.
During 2021 the Trust’s average death rate amongst residents was less than the previous 5 year average, which is testimony to the hard work and dedication of the Trust’s workforce.
An important focus of our work in 2021 was the embedding of changes to the management structure, specifically the new directorates created in 2020 (Nursing Homes, Residential Property and Development, Charitable Impact, Group Services). Our Care at Home service was closed and our Care and Support services successfully restructured.
As part of our Transformation Programme a project management office (PMO) was created to ensure robust and clear methodology for new projects. This programme successfully delivered the launching of our new intranet and the introduction of electronic payslips in 2021. A supplier for our new digital finance system was chosen and groundwork completed for launch in early 2022.
An endowment income strategy was created which defines how the endowment income received by the Trust is distributed within both operational services and externally to achieve maximum charitable benefit.
We also commenced surveys and released £20m from our endowment following a Charity Commission S282 approval and resolution by the Trustees to redesignate £20 million of the permanent endowment for capital repair and improvement projects across our existing sites.
(C) The strategies we use to deliver our objectives
The objectives of St Monica Trust focus the work of the Charity on older people and adults with a physical disability or long-term illness. The mission statement of the Charity is ‘Working together to support and celebrate the lives of older people’ and the strategies we use to meet such objectives include:
10
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
-
Providing retirement housing/sheltered housing accommodation all of which is disability-friendly and capable of supporting individuals in wheelchairs.
-
‘Extra Care’ Housing in partnership with Bristol City Council and North Somerset Council. Service users enjoy the comfort of living within their own home as an alternative to entry into a care home and are thus afforded greater choice and independence and the stimulation of a lively environment in which to live.
-
Care and Support – many people prefer to ‘stay put’ as their care needs increase. A programme of Care and Support can be provided that enables individuals to maintain their independence within their own home. A 24-hour Care and Support service is available within the Trust’s own retirement housing settings.
-
High quality nursing and residential care are key elements of the support provided by the Trust. In addition to long-term care, short-term places are available to give a carer a muchneeded break, or for those recovering following an operation or period of hospitalisation, and as a ‘safe haven’ for those older people facing an emergency or breakdown in their normal care arrangements. Many elements of our short-term care are operated in partnership with the NHS and local authorities.
In recent years, caring for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia has become a central feature of the services offered by the Trust. This highly specialist care is provided in safe and positive environments where activities and therapies are a regular part of daily life.
- Charitable Impact – As part of the executive restructure, the Charitable Impact directorate was created to coordinate how we spend our Endowment income both internally and externally.
Inside our Villages, we provide Pastoral care and spiritual care for residents and staff across all sites and encourage a diverse and vibrant community with the support of our Village Engagement Coordinators.
The Team also works outside our villages to improve the well-being of older people living across the West of England. Whatever we are doing in the community, we work with local organisations and individuals to effect change.
Some of our work focuses on developing ongoing relationships with organisations, individuals, stakeholders and decision makers across the region in order to contribute to collectively improving the well-being of older people in the area.
Working across Bristol, Bath and Northeast Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, we provide funding and support to organisations working with older people, finding ways to use our resources more effectively.
11
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
Through our Charitable Giving work, we provide individuals over 50 years old who have a long-term disability or illness gifts of essential items and/ or short-term grants to offer support through a crisis, which is paid at a level which will not affect benefits or tax credits.
The Trust continues to be a core member of the Bristol Older People’s Funding Alliance, sharing community intelligence and adopting a more strategic approach to grant giving for older people, encouraging collaboration with the aim of maximizing the funding available in the city.
• Recruitment and retention of staff
The St Monica Trust aims to recruit and retain a high calibre workforce in order to deliver the high quality of care that we have built our reputation upon.
Recruiting the ‘right’ people that share the Trust’s values is equally as important as recruiting people with the right skills. We offer a competitive pay and benefits package and are continually reviewing ways of improving this. Our aspiration is to become a Real Living Wage employer and to increase the basic pay of all our staff. This will aid the continual challenge of recruitment felt by all in the social care sector.
We ensure employees are supported in the workplace using an annual performance management process that cascades organisational objectives and focuses on personal development at regular intervals during a 12-month period. We aspire to be a high-quality employer.
The Trust prides itself on its training and development provision for employees, employing an in-house team of skilled trainers that deliver tailored training both internally to St Monica Trust staff and externally to other care providers; and we are also an accredited assessment centre for health and social care qualifications. All colleagues must complete a comprehensive mandatory training programme upon appointment and undertake regular updates to stay up to date. Tailored training is provided upon request to teams to target specific areas of need.
In 2021 we launched our new online learning platform LEARN which will allow colleagues to access high quality online and in-person training and help managers to monitor and arrange training for their teams more easily.
Delivering well-being for older people is the Trust’s mission statement; this aim also extends to the well-being of colleagues. Promoting the health and well-being of colleagues is not only seen as a positive staff retention initiative but also contributes to the quality of care provided to residents/customers in terms of promoting continuity of care through reduced absenteeism, and improved staff morale.
(D) Public benefit and maximising access to our services
The Trustee of St Monica Trust has referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing and planning the work of the Charity. The concern of the Trustees has been to ensure that the Trust, in servicing the needs of older people, has due regard to the particular needs of those individuals within the beneficiary group who live in poverty.
12
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
Whilst all persons who receive support from our Charitable Giving team are individuals who can be regarded as in financial need, people who access our other services emanate from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. The legal and regulatory framework in relation to payment by the state for care remains firmly rooted in a system of means testing. For example, any individuals who have money or assets in excess of £23,250 will find themselves responsible for meeting the cost of living in a care home.
When approximately 75% of the population over 65 years own their own property, quite clearly the welfare state assumes financial responsibility for only a percentage of people who need care.
Thus, along with other voluntary organisations, the Trust engages with people in need of a service, some of whom can afford the fee and others who are unable to meet such costs. The traditions and the philosophy of the Trust, and indeed the guidance of the Charities Act 2011, ensure that the Trust makes provision for individuals who are unable to pay the fees for relevant services and thus are able to benefit and not be excluded from the Trust’s services.
In 2021, the Trust helped 18,172 (2020: 19,245) people, of which 16,916 or 93.1% (2020: 17,807 or 92.5%) were afforded financial support by the Trust.
Of the total above, the Trust helped 1,594 individuals in 2021 (2020: 1,835) in its residential care services (care homes and retirement villages), of which 24% or 338 (2020: 34%, 617 people), were afforded financial support by the Trust. The year-on-year reduction of individuals helped in our residential care services was primarily as a result of the closure for refurbishment of our shortterm care unit at our Westbury Fields Village. The Trust’s Care at Home service also assisted 180 individuals in their own home (2020: 220).
The Trust also helped 424 individuals (2020: 509) in financial need through the Charitable Giving Team’s Individual Giving scheme via 533 gifts and short-term grant awards, plus a further 1,210 people through funding essential information and advice services in the area. In addition, a further 16,916 (2020: 16,451) people benefitted indirectly from the Trust’s financial support for local, community-based organisations.
The St Monica Trust Charitable Impact Directorate aims to ease the financial pressure and improve the daily lives of older people, by helping them to buy the essential things they need or supporting them through a crisis. This is achieved through individual giving and organisation / community based support. Most recently we have collaborated with another local Charity to provide the right funds in order to support boiler repairs for older people and with our four local Age UKs to provide information and advice services post-pandemic.

We have connected all of the organisations to share, learn and support each other. In 2020, a three-year commitment totalling £570,000 was provided through the Community Development Fund, with The Grateful Society contributing £90,000 for the majority of the grant to the Wellspring Settlement. The funds were distributed to six organisations in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire with a focus on reengaging older people with their communities. Most roles started in early 2021 and end in early 2024. In 2021 our financial commitment has been £150,000. In addition to the above, a proposal from St Paul’s Carnival led to a decision from Committee to support a Community Engagement Co-ordinator in a similar way to the other six funded projects. A grant of £30,000 was awarded in 2021. In October 2021, we met with Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association to review their bid to the Mental Health Fund. As a result, we proposed to Committee a grant of £22,000 for the delivery and administration of their existing mental health project which focusses its work on older Rastafari men. This project has previously benefitted from one-off grants from the |

2021 also saw the culmination of:
-

- Income: To provide the Trust with £6.5 million net unrestricted income for 2021.
Achievements for the year have been as follows:
Summary: The market value of St Monica Trust’s investments managed by the Endowment Trustee increased from £293 million at 31 December 2020 to £319 million at 31 December 2021 (this includes the Commercial Property at Block C which has been treated as an investment property in both years).
Over seven billion COVID-19 vaccines were administered worldwide in 2021, helping life to return to a semblance of normality. This helped lift real GDP by 5.9%, the fastest growth rate in over 40 years. Economic recovery drove optimism back into risk assets. Companies delivered strong earnings growth despite the pandemic lingering. Inflation was pushed higher by accommodative policy and pent-up demand at a time when global supply chains were disrupted, and labour markets stretched. During the year the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee increased the base rate from 0.1% to 0.25%.
Asset Allocation: The broad asset allocation at 31 December 2021 was: Agricultural property – 54% Commercial property – 2% Financial investments – 37% Cash on deposit – 7%
This accords with the broad target asset allocation of 60% property and 40% financial investments.

Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
Agricultural Property Investments:
For the 10 years to 31 December 2021 the portfolio achieved its objective of attaining an average annual real (inflation adjusted) total return of at least 3%. Actual average annual performance was 8.9% per annum for the 10 years against the inflation + 3% benchmark of 4.9%.
During the year three parcels of land at Brockworth were disposed of and the net consideration will be reinvested to produce an income for the charity.
Financial Investments:
A detailed financial investment strategy has been produced to provide the required income for the Trust’s operations, both short and long term, and to ensure future capital growth. By using the advisory management of Cambridge Associates, the Endowment Trustee has been able to interview and select the best managers from a wide section of the investment market and so diversify the risk.
The composition of the portfolio was fairly stable in 2021.
For the 10 years to 31 December 2021 the portfolio achieved its objective of attaining an average annual real (inflation adjusted) total return of at least 3%. Actual average annual performance was 7.9% per annum for the 10 years against the inflation +3% benchmark of 4.9%.
For the 3 years to 31 December 2021 the portfolio returned 8.9% against the benchmark of 8.1%.
Income:
The Endowment Investments provided the Trust with £6.66m (2020: £6.02m) of net unrestricted funds in 2021 against a target of £6.5m, a surplus of £0.16m. Income is measured on a three-year rolling basis and for the three years to 31 December 2021 the Endowment Investments provided the Trust with £19.52m against the target of £19.50m, a surplus of £19k. The COVID pandemic had a significant impact on dividends paid and the Endowment Trustee considers the portfolio was well diversified to respond to the unprecedented situation facing the Trust.
In addition to the endowment income provided, the Trustees asked the Endowment Trustee to manage Block C, a commercial building at the Chocolate Quarter during 2020. A surrender premium was negotiated in respect of one floor occupied by a tenant, and this resulted in additional income of £1.95m being recognised in 2020 in respect of this.

4. Financial review
The Trust’s financial position at the end of 2021 was strong, with unrestricted reserves of £38.0 million (2020: £38.8 million) and net assets of £332.1 million (2020: £305.6 million). Unrestricted funds include £18.0 million (2020: £20.0m) in an expendable endowment fund. This fund was created in 2020 from the permanent endowment following the approval by the Charity Commission of a resolution made by the Trustees under section 282 of the Charities Act. This resolution was made in direct response to the risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting transfer provides additional resource to the charity to effectively mitigate those risks.
The Trust is reliant on the unrestricted income from the Permanent Endowment, which in 2021 was £6.6 million compared with the target for the year of £6.5 million ((2020: £6.0 million) compared to a target of £6.5 million).
Subsidiary company results
These statements include the trading activity for St Monica Trading Limited. The principal activity of the company is to undertake the commercial operations at the Trust’s retirement village at Keynsham. The current activities include catering and leisure facilities offered to residents and members of the general public. The trading result for the year was a profit of £10k which will be used to support the Trust’s charitable objectives.
These statements include the trading activity for Somerdale Pavilion Trust. The principal activity of the charitable company is to provide and maintain a pavilion, playing fields and other facilities for the use of the inhabitants of Keynsham and the surrounding areas. The trading result for the year was a profit of £91k.
5. Plans for future periods
The Trust will deliver the following objectives in 2022:
The Trust will complete its care home restructure plan. This aims to deliver consistency in organisational structures, roles and ways of working. We believe this is needed to ready ourselves for the challenges that lie ahead as well as enhancing the living environment and experience for our residents. In particular, we want to
-
Enhance residents’ experience of living in our care homes
-
Create a consistent service across all four care homes
-
Provide better career opportunities and pathways for those in health and social care
-
Improve basic rates of pay and achieve our ambition to pay the Real Living Wage
We will launch our new finance system in 2022 and embed its use across our frontline and support services. This will greatly enhance our ability to forecast expenditure and monitor budgets.
We will create a 10 year strategic plan by early 2023 for the period 2023-2033 which will include a detailed 3 year action plan.
18
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)
We will continue with our recovery plan with the aim of returning the organisation to overall breakeven (total income vs total costs) by the end of 2023. We will create efficient services that are attractive to both residents and staff.
Where we can, we will seek to help protect our staff from cost of living rises by increasing basic pay and our aspiration to become a Real Living Wage employer.
The Trust will embark on a major asset infrastructure update across our sites following the completion of asset surveys by Alder King in Autumn 2022. These surveys will help us to identify all the key works that need to be done over the coming years including refurbishment and redecoration of all key facilities plus the renewal of some key asset components. The first stage of the John Wills refurbishment is currently in progress and will be completed in 2022.
The building of Block D will commence at The Chocolate Quarter in 2022. Comprising 44 apartments (including 18 that will be affordable), this will complete The Chocolate Quarter development and opening in the first half of 2024.
We intend to get outline planning permission for the development of the DEFRA land at Westbury Fields by the end of 2022.
In addition, in 2022 we also aim to:
-
Maintain our CQC regulatory compliance at ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ in all our services.
-
Agree an IT investment and NCC cyber security strategy.
-
Conduct a review of our Marketing and Communications team.
-
Re-establish our volunteering service in the post-COVID era.

Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements
Under charity law, the trustee is responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustee and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustee is required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustee:
-
selects suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
makes judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
states whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
states whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
assesses the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
-
uses the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The trustee is required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditors’ report to the Trustee of St Monica Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of St Monica Trust (“the charity”) for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 which comprise the statements of financial activities, balance sheet and related notes, including the accounting policies on 29 to 35.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).
In our evaluation of the trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
Our conclusions based on this work:
-
we consider that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;
-
we have not identified, and concur with the trustees’ assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.
Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
21
Independent auditors’ report to the Trustee of St Monica Trust
-
Enquiring of management as to the Charity’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
Reading Council, and audit committee meeting minutes.
-
Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected year on year movements.
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
As required by auditing standards, and taking into account our overall knowledge of the control environment we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries.
We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
In determining the audit procedures we took into account the results of our evaluation and testing of the operating effectiveness of some of the fraud risk management controls.
We also performed procedures including:
-
Identifying journal entries and other adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included unusual accounts combinations.
-
Substantive testing of residential and investment income and agreement to supporting evidence.
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
As the Charity is regulated, our assessment of risks involved gaining an understanding of the control environment including the entity’s procedures for complying with regulatory requirements.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including charities legislation) and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, employment law, and certain aspects of charity legislation recognising the financial and regulated nature of the Charity’s activities and its legal form. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
22
Independent auditors’ report to the Trustee of St Monica Trust
Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation
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 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.
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information, which comprises the Report of the Trustee. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to you if:
-
based solely on that work, we have identified material misstatements in the other information; or
-
in our opinion, the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
Trustees’ responsibilities
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 20, the trustees are responsible for: the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; 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 they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities
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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an
23
Independent auditors’ report to the Trustee of St Monica Trust
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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), which have been applied consistently.
St Monica Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
Notwithstanding the Trust’s net current liabilities of £1.7m at the end of 2021, the Trustees have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which they consider is appropriate for the following reasons.
The Trustees have reviewed cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible on the operations and its financial resources, the group and charity will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.
As noted in the Report of the Trustee, this has included looking at plausible downside scenarios. In the event that a combination of any of these scenarios occurred affecting the operations of the Trust, £123.9 million of endowment assets as at the balance sheet date can be liquidated in less than one month. This amount would support the charity’s normal operations for more than two years.
Consequently, the Trustees are confident that the group and charity will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of St Monica Trust ("the charity") and St Monica Trading Limited and Somerdale Pavilion Trust (“the subsidiaries”). These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiaries on a lineby-line basis.
The trading results of the subsidiaries are disclosed in notes 2 and 3 to these financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In applying the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustee is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
29
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
The Trustees consider that besides the points listed below there are no other critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure.
Investment properties
The valuation of investment properties is a critical accounting judgement in respect of the application of the Trust's accounting policies. The method by which the Trustees have assessed the fair value of the investment properties at year end is described in detail in note 14. The valuations are based on company data, including current rental rates, occupancy, terms and conditions of leases and upon market related assumptions such as yield and discount rates. An element of ‘hope value’ is also included in the valuation of properties in line with accounting standards.
Leasehold Apartment Sales
The established method of accounting for leasehold apartment sales at the Trusts’ established sites at Cote Lane, Westbury Fields, Monica Wills House and Sandford Station is that receipts are held as a liability until conclusion of the lease as detailed in the Lifetime Lease Accounting Policy Note. At The Chocolate Quarter a lease is offered which provides the leaseholder with a choice between equity participation and fixed return. The accounting treatment of an equity participation lease is that the initial sale results in recognition of income and costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. The Trust has followed the general principle for income recognition in the Charities SORP and FRS 102.
Defined benefit pension scheme
The Trust has an obligation to pay pension benefits to certain employees and past employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depends on a number of factors, including life expectancy, salary increases, and the discount rate on corporate bonds. The principal assumptions made by the Trust can be found in note 29. Management estimates these factors in determining the net pension obligations in the balance sheet. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends.
Donations and legacies
Dividends and interest on capital and income fund investments are included as income in the financial statements on an accruals basis.
Voluntary income
This is credited to the appropriate fund in the year in which it is receivable.
Government grants
These are credited to the appropriate fund in the year in which they are receivable.
Residential care and support
Fees from residents and other service-user income is credited to the unrestricted fund on an accruals basis.

Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
Accommodation Income
The Trust offers leases to tenants on a fixed repayment basis (i.e the tenant will receive the price they paid on exit) on all its sites. In addition, at The Chocolate Quarter it also offers an equity participation basis (i.e. the exit amount is driven by the market). Where the lessee opts for a fixed repayment, the proceeds are recognised as a liability in accordance with the lifetime leases accounting policy described on page 32. However, where the lessee opts for the equity participation arrangement, the Trust is under no obligation to repurchase the apartment until the property has been sold on to a new tenant.
Therefore, the proceeds from the initial sale of a property under an equity participation lease are recognised as income in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding cost of sale recognised in accommodation costs.
Under both the fixed repayment and equity participation arrangements, the Trust becomes entitled to a surrender fee, payable at the end of the lease, which is accrued annually over the life of the lease. This is recognised within accommodation income in the statement of financial activities (SoFA) as it is earned.
Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. All costs are allocated or apportioned to one of the functional categories of resources expended in the statement of financial activities.
(a) Costs of generating funds relate to those costs incurred in the management of the fixed asset investments.
(b) Costs in furtherance of the Trust’s objects relate to those costs incurred in running and supporting the objects of the Trust.
Support costs
Support costs are apportioned to categories of expenditure, and only governance costs are separately disclosed.
Grants payable
Grants are awarded from the Community Fund and a detailed analysis and explanation of grants awarded has been provided in the Report of the Trustee.
Irrecoverable VAT
Any irrecoverable VAT is charged to the statement of financial activities or capitalised as part of the cost of the related asset, where appropriate.
31
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when an obligation arises to transfer economic benefits as a result of past transactions or events.
Tangible fixed assets
All expenditure on the acquisition, enhancement, production or installation of fixed assets for use by the Trust and all receipts of such assets by way of gift are capitalised and included in the balance sheet at cost. The freehold land and property is included in fixed assets at cost. Assets with a value below £1,000 are not capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets include apartments which may be disposed of within 12 months through an equity participation lease (see accommodation income accounting policy above).
Capitalisation of finance costs
All finance costs in respect of the bank loan obtained for the Keynsham, Westbury-on-Trym, Bedminster and Sandford developments up to the point when these developments commenced normal operations are capitalised within tangible fixed assets and are being amortised over the life of the asset to which they relate.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided with the intention of writing off the costs of tangible fixed assets (to residual values) over their useful lives. The provision is calculated using the straight-line method at the following rates:
| Assets in the course of construction | Nil |
|---|---|
| Freehold buildings | 2% |
| Special building assets | 14% |
| Furniture and equipment | 12.5% to 33.3% |
| Motor vehicles | 25% |
Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual values of freehold buildings were revised by management during 2014. The revision resulted in a reduction to the depreciation expense of £1.4m in that year.
Impairment reviews
Impairment reviews are carried out annually which includes consideration of current selling price of properties against the carrying value of each asset.
Lifetime leases
The Trust provides a lifetime leasehold purchase scheme for up to 351 properties across four of its sites in which the lease operates for the duration of the purchaser’s occupation of the property and then reverts to the Trust on their departure. The cash received under this scheme is returned to the lease holder or their estate when the lease is determined. The Trust, therefore, always has a liability
32
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
to repay the full value of the lease proceeds, which is reflected in the balance sheet as amounts due to lifetime leasehold tenants. When a lease is determined, the Trust will sell the lease on to another purchaser under the same lifetime lease arrangement, thus restoring the funding and the liability to repay the value of the lease when, in turn, it is determined.
In addition, the Trust has a further 136 leasehold properties at its site in Keynsham. The lessee has an option at this site to have a fixed repayment lease with the liability recognised as described in the above policy. However, where the lessee opts for an Equity Participation arrangement the accounting policy is as described in the Accommodation Income note on page 31.
Investments
Both current and fixed asset investments are stated at mid-market value at the balance sheet date. This is not in accordance with FRS 102 which recommends bid value but is consistent with the entity’s performance management process. Using bid values would lead to a reduction in the valuation of these listed investments of an amount which is considered by the Trustee to be immaterial.
All recognised gains and losses on investments are shown separately in the statement of financial activities. The investments in the subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost.
Investment properties
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value on an existing use basis. The valuation is determined on the basis of professional advice and includes an element of hope value in line with accounting standards. In accordance with FRS 102 investment properties are revalued annually and the aggregate surplus or deficit is included as an unrealised gain or loss within the permanent endowment fund. No depreciation or amortisation is provided in respect of freehold investment properties.
Stocks
Stocks consist of catering supplies and have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Leased assets
Rentals in respect of operating leases are charged directly to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Pension costs
The employees of the Trust are eligible to join a group personal pension plan with Aviva or with the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST). The Trust’s pension contributions for current employees are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which the obligation to make contributions arises.
The Trust pays certain discretionary pensions, which are not funded under a closed defined benefit scheme. The pension liability in respect of this obligation is recognised in the balance sheet based on annual actuarial valuations. Actuarial gains or losses are included in the statement of financial activities.
33
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
Further details in respect of unfunded pension liabilities are contained in note 29. The Trustees have confirmed with the Charity Commission that the pension liability may be treated as a deduction from the Permanent Endowment Fund, and, as a result, the Permanent Endowment Fund in the “Funds” section of the balance sheet is shown net of the estimated pension liability.
Basic financial instruments
(a) Trade and other debtors / creditors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument.
(b) Interest-bearing borrowings classified as basic financial instruments
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
(c) Fixed asset investments
Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the charity's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement.
Permanent endowment fund
The permanent endowment fund incorporates the original endowment together with surpluses arising from disposals of investments, that element of gravel royalties which represents the depletion of the site and, by orders of the Charity Commission, the recoupment from income by annual contributions, over 25 years or 30 years, of capital expenditure made on real estate improvements and leasehold property.
Expendable endowment fund
On 16 November 2020 the Charity Commission approved a resolution made by the Trustees to redesignate £20 million of the permanent endowment for use by the Trust in furtherance of its objectives and as if it were income. The result was that £20 million was transferred from permanent
34
Report of the Board and consolidated financial statements Year ended 31 December 2021
Notes (continued)
(forming part of the financial statements)
endowment funds into an unrestricted expendable endowment fund. As expenditure is incurred, balances will be transferred from the expendable endowment fund into the unrestricted fund.
Restricted funds
These are other funds for which the donor has specifically restricted the purpose for which they can be used. The amounts in the funds represent the monies remaining for future expenditure. There are two restricted funds which are held by the Trust and explained in more detail below:
(a) Residents’ legacy fund
These are funds donated by residents, which have restricted purposes for which they can be applied.
(b) Community support fund
These are funds donated by beneficiaries of the Trust’s community support services, which have restricted purposes for which they can be applied.
Unrestricted fund
Operating income together with income arising from permanent endowment and unrestricted fund investments is credited to the unrestricted fund. The Charity Commission Scheme permits the fund to be applied towards contributions to the management expenses, the expenses related to running the operational activities, establishing a reserve fund and paying annuities and gifts. Any balance remaining may be accumulated for endowment purposes, but in practice is currently retained as unrestricted funds as explained in the reserves policy in The Report of the Trustee.
Designated fund
A designated fund exists to hold a proportion of the community fee and exit fees for the Equity Participation and Fixed Repayment leasehold options as detailed in the Accommodation Income accounting policy. These funds are set aside for future maintenance costs.
Subsidiaries
Details of subsidiary undertakings owned by the charity are disclosed in notes 2 and 3.
Financial activities of the charity
The financial activities shown in the consolidated statement includes those of the charity’s wholly owned subsidiaries, St Monica Trading Limited and Somerdale Pavilion Trust.
