The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, Sherborne REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees present their report and unaudited financial statements of the Almshouse for the year ended 31 December 2022.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Almshouse is registered as a charitable housing association and it is registered with the Regulator of Social Housing (R. S. H No. A2569) and the Charity Commission (Charity No. 00202499).

After paying the cost of repairs and insurance and all other charges and outgoings relating to their property, and all the property costs, charges and expenses of and incidentals to the administration and management of The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, the Master and Brethren are required by the scheme established by the Charity Commission on 15 September 1953 to apply the remainder of their income in providing food, clothing and other necessaries for the residents of the Almshouse and in providing for their welfare and comfort in health and sickness in such way as the Master and Brethren think fit from time to time.

The trustees confirm that they have complied their duties to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission (on their website at Charities and Public Benefit) in exercising their powers and duties.

This guidance has directly influenced the setting of objectives and outcomes. In particular, the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to set objectives.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Turnover in the year from rent and contributions received was £333,302 (2021 - £372,103). The actual deficit for the year was £113,685 (2021 - £59,320), and the unrealised loss on investments was £85,148 (2021 - £45,226 gain). The net assets at the end of the year are £2,226,469 (2021 - £2,425,302).

The lower number of residents and higher rate of vacancies seen in the previous year continued despite a renewed marketing effort post Covid. Although a whole scale review of all costs undertaken as part of the review of the operating model begun the year before, resulted in savings of £40k (9%), this was not sufficient to offset the lower contributions from residents and the deficit increased compared to the previous year. The trustees do not consider that an increase in the deficit is one that is sustainable long term and have taken specific action to address the Charity’s financial performance which is set out in the Review of Activities and Future Plans.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees, The Brethren, who regularly meet, usually six times a year but more frequently during the year and for the foreseeable future because of the specific challenges which the Charity faces, to consider the affairs of the Charity and make decisions concerning its strategy. Issues which require more detailed input from the Brethren are usually first considered by the Master’s Standing Committee which meets more frequently, usually once a month.

The day-to-day operations of the Charity are managed by the Steward with support from the House Wardens with direction from the Master.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE PLANS

The trustees devoted considerable time during the year to analysing the reasons for the increasing rate of vacancies, including taking advice from the Almshouse Association and professionals within the not for profit housing sector and considering the options for attracting more residents. The trustees also assessed in detail the risks to the Charity around the current operating model, specifically the high dependency on staff and the resultant cost pressures, the costs of maintaining a Grade 1 listed building and also the risks to the long-term sustainability of the Charity. The trustees reluctantly concluded that the current operating model, specifically of providing fully serviced accommodation in bed sits to older people was outdated and not sustainable and thus that the operating model would need to change. The vacancy rate accelerated during the latter part of the year and, with the likelihood of more of the current residents needing to move to accommodation which was more appropriate for their needs and no evidence to indicate an increased rate of occupancy take up, the trustees concluded that action was urgently required to stem further losses. The trustees identified a number of options for changing the operating model but in view of the risk that a change would result in the loss of jobs, announced a consultation with staff as required by law and thus with residents in early January 2023. The trustees took this decision in the knowledge that the consultation would cause uncertainty and potentially compound the vacancy problem but sought to mitigate the risks by being open and transparent and follow best practice.

On completion of the consultation the trustees concluded that the best option for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Charity was to create an Almshouse operation where residents can live independently in fit-for-purpose flats either within the existing building, or elsewhere in Sherborne. The trustees are continuing to investigate and assess the best way of moving forward and in the meantime in order to reduce operating losses and protect funds, the trustees concluded that the serviced provision should cease at the end of June 2023 and the staff whose roles provided these services made redundant. Two residents will live independently in part of the building which is easily adaptable to a self-contained unit and thus the Charity will continue to provide for beneficiaries.

The Brethren are monitoring the cash flow of the Charity closely and are confident that the Charity has sufficient resources to fund the staff redundancy payments and other costs associated with the cessation of the serviced accommodation and on this basis no adjustment is required in respect of the Charity's results to 31 December 2022.

RESERVES POLICY

The Brethren reviewed the policy at the start of the year and concluded that the policy of seeking to have funds sufficient to cover three years deficit on the housing properties should continue and that any change should be considered once the review of the operating model had been completed.

The Brethren reviewed the level of funds required and have £420,633 held in stocks and shares which is easily accessible. The Brethren also maintain a flower garland fund for the purposes of dressing the entrance gate with a garland each year. These funds are maintained for management purposes and are not disclosed separately in the financial statements.

At 31 December 2022 the capital and endowment reserve and the revaluation reserve were unchanged from 2021 at £78,552 and £1,614,999 respectively. The income and expenditure reserve had decreased to £532,906 at 31 December 2022 (2021: £725,970) and the Amenity Fund had a balance of £11 at 31 December 2022 (2021: £5,780).

INVESTMENT POLICY

The Brethren have a policy of mixed investments, comprising three elements:

  1. A number of architecturally important listed commercial buildings in Sherborne, which the Brethren have acquired over very many years, and which are all subject to commercial lettings, managed by a professional agent and subject to regular rent reviews.

  2. Stocks and shares which are managed by an independent financial adviser the charity’s funds and invested in a Transact Portfolio.

  3. On further guidance from the independent financial adviser the charitable deposit funds, which are intended for use in cyclical repairs and to be readily accessible, are in part invested in a further deposit account.

The charity’s investments will be reviewed on a regular basis.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

RISK ASSESSMENT

The Brethren regularly conduct reviews of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures of authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed in order to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ALMSHOUSE OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST AND ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, SHERBORNE

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year specified in paragraph 18 (4) of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1996 and that an independent examination is needed.

By carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, Sherborne ACCOUNTING POLICIES For the year ended 31 December 2022

Introduction and accounting basis

The principal accounting policies of The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist are set out below. The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public entity under FRS 102, have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the inclusion of investments and investment properties at market value, in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Housing Statement of Recommended Practice 2018, the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2022 and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The trustees assess whether the use of the going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect for a period of at least one year from the date of the authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income recognition

Rent receivable is credited in the income and expenditure account in the period to which it relates.

Income from legacies and donations are included as income when received or when the charity becomes entitled to the monies, if earlier, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from commercial letting of properties is stated net of Value Added Tax.

Designated funds

Where monies are set aside by the trustees for specific purpose these are shown in the accounts as specifically designated funds.

Investments

Monies held as investments are included in the accounts at market value. All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Page 13

The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, Sherborne ACCOUNTING POLICIES For the year ended 31 December 2022

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Mortgages

The mortgage loan advanced by the Homes & Communities Agency has now been repaid bar £1.

Pension

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Any annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account.

Housing Association grants

Under the Housing SORP 2018 this grant is classified as deferred income and is released to the income and expenditure account over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight line basis.

Revenue grants

Grants in respect of revenue expenditure are credited to the income and expenditure in the same period as the expenditure to which they relate.

Fixed Assets – land and buildings

Housing properties are stated at nominal valuation of £1 plus the cost of housing property renovations. Non housing properties are stated at an estimated valuation of £1,615,000. The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist property is insured for £3,477,968 and other let properties are insured for £5,650,109. The Housing properties have been included at nominal valuations as they were originally gifted to The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist and therefore had no cost.

Depreciation

The company depreciates housing properties on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic life of 50 years.

Furniture and fittings are written off over the period of their expected useful lives at 20% on a reducing balance basis.

Items of a capital nature are charged to the income and expenditure account unless they result in an enhancement of economic benefits of the property or where they replace a component which has been treated separately for depreciation purposes.

Page 14

The Almshouse of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, Sherborne ACCOUNTING POLICIES For the year ended 31 December 2022

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Financial instruments

The Charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity and their measurement basis are as follows:

Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 5. Prepayments are not financial instruments.

Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.

Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 7. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is no obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.

Taxation

The Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
