It is with great sadness and regret that the trustees report the death on 31 March 2023 of their colleague and Chair, Walker Lapthorne. His contribution over the last seven years has been considerable; his positivity, leadership and cheerful attitude will be greatly missed.
The trustees are appointed by invitation from the existing trustees; all within the rules as laid down in the Charity Commission Scheme (as amended), which governs the trust. Further details of the trustees are as follows:
Mr. Richard Coombs became a trustee in 2016. For many years he was a corporate law partner with regional law firm Foot Anstey LLP where he advised companies and charities on strategy, governance and major projects. He remains a part time consultant with them but now spends most of his time as a director or trustee of other companies and charities. Richard has lived in Ivybridge for over 30 years.
Mrs. Jane Gent became a trustee in 2010. She has lived with her family in Ivybridge since 1982. She worked in the National Health Service as a Community Occupational Therapist in the Ivybridge and Yealmpton district until her retirement in 2009. As a trustee she continues to build on her professional experience in the local area and to contribute her knowledge and skills to the Trust.
Mrs. Lorna Howell read French and German at St Anne’s College, Oxford, after which she took a TEFLA Diploma and taught in Paris, Nepal and various colleges in UK. She now manages the Lukesland estate on the edge of Ivybridge, including 2 holiday lets and Spring and Autumn garden openings. She continues to teach English to asylum seekers in Plymouth.

3. Structure, Governance and Management
3.1 Structure
The Eden Cottages Trust was formally set up on 31[st] August 1927 when Mrs Minnie Pitts Eden bequeathed cash and investments to build and run an almshouse in the town of Ivybridge in South Devon. The organisation operates as an unincorporated charity and is run by trustees. Full details of the trustees are given above. Each appointment is influenced by the applicant’s qualifications and knowledge of the local area. Together, the trustees have wide experience of finance, investments, building maintenance, charity work, public health and the law. The trustees meet formally not less than three times a year to discuss the running of the almshouse. Ad hoc meetings are arranged as and when required.
3.2. Governance
The trustees are bound by the Charity Commissioners Scheme dated 27[th] November 1972, as amended on 19[th] April 2000, 4 November 2016, 24 March 2017, 17 August 2020, 18 March 2021 and 24 May 2021. These schemes layout the broad rules within which the trustees must operate. The day to day decisions within that framework are left to the trustees’ discretion.
3.3 Management
Running the almshouse falls into five categories:
3.3.1 the maintenance of the property is managed by one of the trustees who was a retired chartered building surveyor.
3.3.2, the trustees call upon professionals, when required, to inspect the property and produce written reports on their findings.
3.3.3 the investments and cash balances, which make up virtually all of the charity’s assets (excluding the land and building), are managed for the trustees, within an agreed investment policy, by professional advisers.
3.3.4 the trustees find new beneficiaries as and when a house or flat becomes available.
3
The Eden Cottages Trust (Registered Charity No. 202576) (Founded in 1927)
3.3.5 finally, the day to day business affairs of the trust are handled by the charity’s Visitor and Clerk (a part-time employee) and its Honorary Treasurer one of the trustees.
4. Related Parties
The charity has no relationship with any related party.
5. Risk Management
The trustees perceive the charity to be exposed to five major risks and endeavour to manage those risks as follows:-
5.1 Fire. This is undoubtedly the greatest risk that the charity faces and the trustees use their best endeavours to try and eliminate the possibility of fire. Current regulations are strictly adhered to and are implemented by the trustees. It is particularly relevant here as the beneficiaries are mostly elderly.
5.2 Water. Each house or flat is fitted with its own stop cock in addition to the communal one situated outside the main house. Insurance cover for both fire and water risks are reviewed annually.
5.3 Investments. The charity is largely dependent on its investments to generate sufficient income to run the almshouse, both on a daily basis and to cover longer term commitments. Beneficiaries also make small monthly maintenance contributions. No income is forthcoming from central or local government or from any other source. As a high percentage of the charity’s assets are invested in equities (albeit through collective investments) they are therefore exposed to economic and political events which can impact directly on the performance of the Stock Exchange. With this in mind, the charity’s resources are invested in medium risk investments and are currently managed by professional advisers on behalf of the trustees.
5.4 Cash. Approximately 12% of total assets are currently held in cash either deposited with Lloyds Bank or held within the capital and income account of the portfolio. This is a cautionary position in the current economic and political climate. The holding is reviewed regularly.
5.5 Internal controls. The charity ensures that the generally accepted levels of internal controls are always in place and are strictly adhered to by its trustees and the visitor and clerk.
6. Objectives and activities
6.1 The Scheme, as noted above at 3.1 and 3.2, sets out in detail the rationale for the charity’s existence and the rules within which it must operate. Broadly they are to:
6.1.1 provide for the beneficiaries a quiet and comfortable place to live;
6.1.2 manage the property professionally and within all the statutes currently in force;
6.1.3 manage all the cash and investments thereby producing sufficient income to run the
4

almshouse each year plus accumulating further funds to cover major repairs; 6.1.4 apply such income prudently and within the guidelines; 6.1.5 ensure the beneficiaries meet the qualifications as stipulated; and 6.1.6 ensure there is always a quorum of trustees at any meeting.
6.2 The trustees’ main activities during the year have been to undertake routine maintenance to the building and garden. Fuller information on the activities is included in the Annual Review in Section 7 below. The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
7. Annual Review for 2022
2022 has again been influenced by the global COVID-19 virus crisis. The Trust continued to follow all relevant Government advice. The trustees can report that the Eden Cottages Trust continues to provide high quality housing for residents eligible under the terms of its Charity Commission Scheme, despite the ongoing challenges that the crisis created.
The building fabric has been maintained in good order, but contractor visits have continued to be limited to external areas and internal access only when needed, in a Covid compliant way. The quinquennial inspection of the building was completed by our consultant Chartered Building Surveyor in October 2021 and his advice informed our planned preventative maintenance programme for the next few years. No significant issues were raised that
required immediate attention but there were areas of routine maintenance and recommended improvements to consider.
All of the dwellings within the almshouse were fully occupied during 2022.
We have worked within our budgetary framework.
The first scheduled meeting of the year on 20 January 2022 was held using the Zoom virtual platform. Amongst other matters we agreed the budget for the year.
The trustees met twice more virtually, before meeting in person on 11 October 2022 when the principal agenda item was to receive an updated investment report from our Investment Fund Manager, John Sadgrove of Brooks Macdonald. Trustees were concerned for the performance of the investments, but were satisfied with the actions being taken and planned by the manager.
As reported last year, the trustees had been approached by the new owner of The Nook, our next door neighbour, to consider selling a small parcel of retained land. This was completed during the year, following due diligence and compliance with the Trust Deed (as amended). Net income from the sale of £7,979 is included in the Statement of Financial Activities for the year.
Vice Chair’s Statement
5
The Eden Cottages Trust (Registered Charity No. 202576) (Founded in 1927)
This has been a steady year for the management of the Trust. I would like to thank my fellow trustees for their ongoing support and time input. We have maintained our commitment to provide affordable housing in a pleasant, well ordered environment. Our residents seem content and have coped with the external pressures well. We are now looking forward to a more normal routine but cognisant of the need to be Covid aware. We remain committed to both our residents’ welfare and the preservation of our wonderful building. We hope it remains a fitting legacy to the original donor.

8. Policy on Reserves
The charity maintains two reserves.
8.1. An Extraordinary Repair Fund, which may be applied for the extraordinary repair, improvement or rebuilding of the almshouse. The Trust’s policy is to transfer 20% of any annual surplus into this reserve until a maximum of £50,000 is reached; and
8.2. An Accumulated Income Account into which annual surpluses and deficits accumulate, which is used to fund years in which an exceptional level of general maintenance may be required or other exceptional costs arise.
9. Details of any funds in defcit
9.1 No funds are in deficit.
10. Financial Review 2022
10.1 Sources of funding
The Charity’s principal source of funding is its investment income, which was 68% of total income (excluding the one-off sale of land) with a further 31% coming from maintenance contributions from residents and the small balance from other sundry income.
10.2. Expenditure
Expenditure in the year has principally been on maintaining the property and garden in good condition. Professional costs have been incurred on accountancy fees, investment management and an energy efficiency survey.
10.3. Investment Policy
The charity’s financial resources are invested in a broad range of collective investments; including UK and international fixed interest holdings, investment trusts, unit trusts, property, structured return products, hedge funds &
6
The Eden Cottages Trust (Registered Charity No. 202576) (Founded in 1927)
alternatives and cash. They are all managed under the discretionary management of the Trust’s investment manager. Following review in 2021 the manager is instructed to maintain a medium risk profile. The Scheme governing the Trust allows the trustees to use their discretion with no specific restrictions imposed. Although there are substantial current holdings invested in UK markets, there is direct and indirect exposure to overseas markets, particularly through some of the investment and unit trusts. All securities held are freely realisable and there are no investments in future contracts, options or forward currency transactions.
Within the portfolio, cash balances vary depending on the timing of purchases and sales but at 31 December 2022 were 5.2% of the portfolio. The balance between the different kinds of investment and cash is established by reference to funding requirements and the trustees’ judgement, in conjunction with their professional advisers, of future returns and risks in each sector. The investments are required to generate approximately £20,000 of income per annum as the principal source of income to fund the Trust’s activities. In view of the high level of cash currently held by directly by the Trust the investment manager was asked, in November 2022, to retain the income from the portfolio until further notice.
10.4 Income and Expenditure
Total incoming resources for the year were £39,095 an increase of £5,509 on 2021. This was due the one-off receipt from the sale of land (£7,979), increased receipts from maintenance contributions with 100% occupancy but partially offset by lower investment income as the investment manager delivered close to the revised target for 2022 of £20,000 (actual £21,203; 2021 £24,938).
Total resources expended during the year decreased by £12,832 to £21,404 when compared to 2021. This was mainly due to decreased expenditure on repairs and maintenance as all dwellings were fully occupied. Other resources expended were carefully managed and were in line with the budget. The outcome for the year was a surplus of £17,691.
The surplus for 2022 has been transferred to the accumulated income account. The account
benefitted from a transfer from the General Investment Fund of £7,710 to reflect the portfolio management fees being paid from the capital account during the year to the investment manager. The balance on the Accumulated Income Account, at 31 December 2022 was £50,671.
Within the Unrestricted Funds the trustees maintain a designated fund for Extraordinary Repairs, which stood at £35,181 at 1 January 2022. The trustees’ policy is to transfer 20% of any surplus each year into the Extraordinary Repair Fund. A transfer of £3,538 was therefore made, such that the balance on the account at 31 December 2022 was £38,719.

10.5 Investment Performance 2022
Having taken advice from the investment manager the trustees changed the brief to manage the portfolio from a low to medium risk strategy to produce at least £25,000pa of investment income to a medium risk strategy with income of £20,000pa. The manager is authorised to operate on a discretionary basis which allows them to buy and sell stocks and shares without prior authorisation. Their actions are nevertheless accountable to the trustees via detailed quarterly valuation statements and regular reports, which are considered at trustees’ meetings.
2022 was a poor year for stocks and shares. After distribution of income to the Trust the portfolio closed at £712,925 having started the year at £819,992 a decrease of 13.1%.
The total return on the Trust’s portfolio was (10.5%) and over the same period the benchmark linked to the portfolio, the MSCI PIFMA Balanced Total Return Index, was (8.0%). The investment managers therefore obtained a return that was worse than the benchmark.
