## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **2020 Review**
By early 2020, the four new almshouse bungalows at Dears Riverside were completed. The merging of the Dears and St Mary's Hospital charities took place in October 2020 - and the operational handover delivered - with final legal administrative details to be completed during 2021.
2020 was a challenging year due to the outbreak of Covid 19, to which the on-site team responded with great professionalism, care and compassion. In response to the government guidance, the St Mary's site was completely closed to outside visitors from March 2020. All staff were furloughed except the Warden, Deputy Warden and Gardener/Assistant Bailiff who all live on site. Chapel services ceased, and all public areas were closed. However, we were blessed with warm weather throughout the spring and summer - this allowed residents to continue to meet, socially distanced, in our lovely gardens. Warden daily visits were restricted to telephone calls unless there were emergency calls - for which full PPE was ready to be worn.
The Warden issued regular Covid Bulletins to ensure that residents were kept fully informed of up-to-date guidance and news. The Warden and Deputy Warden had to keep a close eye on individual compliance for the safety of the community, and this was a constant pressure on them as several residents found it challenging to keep to the regulations. The Warden and Deputy worked alternate 48-hour shifts to ensure that, despite the Cover Wardens being furloughed, there was continual emergency cover available. The Gardener had plenty to do in the gardens, and was able to keep up with any maintenance issues that arose.
After the first slight relaxing of rules, the Custos led weekly outdoor Chapel services in the Cottage garden and also in the St Mary's Lodge garden. This was a huge success, and allowed several residents who had been unable to attend Chapel for years to join us from their doorways. This was one of several positive outcomes we experienced as a community during the months of site closure.
The next relaxation of rules was to allow visits to residents outdoors. Again, the benefit of having our garden spaces was much appreciated.
Official social activities were halted, of course, but we did manage to celebrate the 75th VE Day with a socially distanced party in the Cottage garden. In addition, residents and staff got together daily in the gardens - bringing their own refreshments and keeping to the distancing rules.
Our annual Summer Festival, Open Day and Christmas Carol service were all cancelled due to the pandemic. In addition, our inaugural National Gardens Scheme open days were postponed to 2021.
At the date of reporting there has been not a single confirmed case of Covid 19 amongst residents or staff.
Two new residents moved into two of the newly completed Dears Riverside bungalows in December 2020.
At the end of the year changes were proposed to the charity's approach to maintenance and management of its investment property, which led to the redundancy of long-serving and popular Bailiff Matthew Howard. Matthew's smiling face will be missed by colleagues and residents alike and the Trustees note their sincere thanks for his contribution to St Mary's over many years.
## **Residents of Almshouses**
At 31st December 2020, there were eleven residents in the Hospital, Porters Lodge and the Cottages, including one married couple, twelve residents in the Lodge including two married couples, and seven in the Courtyard. There were five residents at the Dears Almshouses site.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Total incoming resources decreased for the year from £924,396 to £825,509 primarily due to a decrease in commercial income. Total expenditure also decreased from £1,090,796 to £818,471 as a result of reduced spend of property projects during the pandemic, leaving a small operating surplus. There was an unrealised loss on investments of £2,514,506 due primarily to a reduction in value of the investment property portfolio following a formal valuation. The overall balance of Hospital funds stands at £25,729,755 compared to the previous year's total of £28,202,255.
## **Investment Strategy**
The Finance Committee for Chapter also acts as the overseeing Finance Committee for St Mary's investments. The strategy remains 100% equity, which at 31 December 2020 remained primarily invested in M&G through their specialist charity sector Charifund. Since then, following a tender process and the recommendation of the Finance Committee the investments have been transferred to CCLA.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have examined the requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. The Trustees do not consider it necessary to have an established policy for reserves as they consider the funds generated from income producing investments is sufficient to cover operating and governance costs. The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31st December 2020 was £25,729,755 of which just £3,901,154 is regarded as tangible fixed assets and £3,194,158 is investments which are immediately accessible.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The Hospital will continue to meet its charitable objectives in the future and to ensure that all of its investment assets are maintained to the highest standard.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The foundation date of the Hospital is not known, though it reputedly came into existence in the second half of the 12th Century. The present Hospital building dates from about 1290.
The Hospital is governed by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 4th November 1898, which was revised on 17th February 1905, 13th February 1987, 8th August 1991, 2nd January 1997, 20th February 2018 and 26th June 2018. The Trustees of the Hospital and its endowment are drawn from the Chapter of Chichester Cathedral and also from other individuals with knowledge or experience relevant to an almshouse charity.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
Upon appointment, each new Trustee is made aware of their legal responsibilities and of their areas affecting the governance of the Fund. Regular training is provided to Trustees as required. This includes updating their knowledge and understanding regarding regulatory and legal development affecting their responsibilities as Trustees and the governance of the fund.
## **Internal audit**
The internal audit function is undertaken by the Clerk to the Trustees on behalf of the Trustees in accordance with the Financial and Management paper. He conducts an appraisal of the following management controls:
(a) Implementation of management policies and directives.
- (b) Safeguard of the assets and interests of the association.
- (c) Compliance with statutory and other regulatory requirements.
- (d) The reliability and integrity of financial and operating information.
- (e) Efficient, effective and economic use of resources.
With regard to financial matters, he ensures specifically that;
(f) The two cheque signatories are provided with authorised supporting documentation at the time of signature.
(g) A close record is maintained of rents receivable and attention drawn to any defaulters.
(h) The performance of investments is monitored.
(i) Delegated limits for financial expenditure are not exceeded.
(j) Competitive tenders are sought for projects in excess of the limits authorised for single tender action and handled in accordance with best practice.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Risk management**
The Charity relies on 3 main income streams to support its aims:
## 1) Residential lets
- 2) Commercial lets
- 3) Investment income
Chichester is an affluent area and the residential market is buoyant especially for quality lets such as the ones that St Mary's own.
The commercial lets are all on good tenant covenants with solid trading history and Chichester retail vacancies remain consistently well below the national average, although the commercial sector is always at risk of downturn.
The investment income portfolio is delegated by St Mary's to the Chapter Finance Committee who monitor outturns and recommends investment mix. The equity and bond ratio is currently 100:00 and is therefore at risk to a sudden market downturn.
Operational risk stems from staffing cover and competence and the Trustees review the staffing needs regularly. The staffing overhead is relatively low and competence is shared across functions with Chapter which reduces cost and risk.
Health and Safety risks are managed and a full review was undertaken by third party in the previous reporting period.
## **Covid Impact Statement**
Covid 19 was a key factor during the year in review and affected the lives of staff and residents, as noted in the review section.
The Hospital went into skeleton staffing during lockdown with several members of staff being furloughed and the hospital claimed through the government CJRS for the reclaimable proportions of the salary costs. The Custos continued to provide spiritual support even when the Chapel could not open, and residents made the most of the beautiful gardens to meet with each other.
There was a significant drop in the carrying values of the investment portfolio around the end of March 2020 however capital values had recovered somewhat by the end of the year in review and income has held up relatively well with the charity's investment partner confident of future income levels.
The main area of exposure was the charities commercial property investments. The charity, through its advisers, worked closely with tenants to ensure an appropriate response to the impact Covid and associated lockdowns had on high street footfall and tenant revenues, whilst recognising that the income is key to supporting the charity and its aims. There was, inevitably, an impact on income during the year and commercial rental income is a potential risk in the longer term. Residential rental income remained consistent and the move to work with a specialist residential property management company is believed to reduce potential risk in this area.
During the year end the charity disposed of a surplus building and this further boosted the hospital's levels of cash and investments. Financially the charity remains in a robust position and the Trustees remain confident in its long-term financial health.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Hospital of the Blessed Mary**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Hospital of the Blessed Mary (the 'charity') for the year ended 31st December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
- In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31st December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Hospital of the Blessed Mary**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential
- - litigation and claims.
- Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other
- adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the
- normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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 auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2020**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from investment property rents is recognised in the year in which it is receivable.
The Statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals of investment assets throughout the year.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost St Mary's Lodge - in accordance with the lease
Property expenditure which goes above and beyond simple maintenance is capitalised, where the cost of the work exceeds £50,000.
## **Listed investments**
Listed investments are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value
## **Investment property**
Investment property is shown at fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is transferred to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Donated goods**
Donations are recognised on entitlement. Donation of fixed assets are included in the accounts at values provided by the donor or at market value.
## **Going concern**
The charity has substantial liquid assets which can be realised in the short term and strong and robust revenue streams which can support the charity in any downturn expected. There are no other issues which give rise to any concerns and therefore the Trustees believe the charity is a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.
