The Hospltal's 5paGIoLfS Church. Halls and grounds enabled si Cross to open up to visitors safely whilst still protecting ils 61derty resldents.

This work did not lake place., cost estimates were significantly higher than expecled because of the IMp￿t of Brexit and the COVID pandemic on supply chains. Temporary repairs have been undertaken, and the Hospital's architects will make a fuller assessment during 2022 of Ihe extent and limlng of any further repair work required. In other respects the planned repair programme for 2021 was largely unaffected, indudiro a ntinuation of work to renew Ihe plumbing lo the Brothers, flats. with a further £57.000 spent. and the refurbishment of the medieval Hundred Men's Hall at a Gost of £36.000, largely funded by a generous grant of £25,000 by the Friends of St. Cross H05Pital.

The Tru8lees' policy is to plan expenditu￿ wthin available resources whilst retaining reserve$ lo provide a degree of flexibillty to meet the cost of major repairs. These can be signlfi¢ant when rnainlaining ancient Grade 1 listed buildings. Inveslment policy The foundation buildiros and the Invesknenl properties are managed to best effect wlth the aid of quinquennial inspects'ons and reports. Monetary Investments are currenmy held in common investment funds. bthere tho fvThJ managers practise socially responsible inveslm•nl. The policy applicable to equity-based inveslmenls is lo wodu¢g the best ir￿rne ¢ompalible with longer-lemi capital growih and security.

Outlook and future plans The Hospital will ¢onllnue the alms as slated above, namely the m8lnlenan¢e and refurbishment of the fabric of the church and hospital building5, and the welfare of the Brothers. Refvrblshment ol Brothers, Il&ts Plannlng consent for this major refurbishment project was weived during the year, and the Trustees hope lo be able to start work on the prolect later in 2022. The refurbighment wlll extend over several years. firsuy becaJs8 of th& loglsllcal constraints of housing all the Brothers while tho work lakes place, and secondly because11 is beyond the ability of the Hospital to furKI solely from Its own reserves. The latest estsmale of the Cost of the project is about £3.5 million. The Charty CommisS￿n have approved the Trustees, request that up lo £1 million of the Hospital's permanent endowment can be used towards the funding som6 of Ihe refurbishment work. Furthermore, the Trustees have decided that, in years when a surplus has been achieved. part of that surplus should be transferred to a nevly established 'Refurbishment Reserve, within unrestrKled funds lo ¢onlrlbute further to the cost of the proie¢t. For 2021 the Trustees have approwiated £100,000 of the surplus to this reserve. It will be clear that the Hospital Can afford to fund only part of the fvll cost of refurbishment from its own resources,. the Trustee$ are therefore considering how best to raise the addrtional funds which 11 be required.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the fir￿nCial statements is localed on the Financial Reporting Council's website al-. www.fr .ukJaudilorsres onsibili ies. This de$¢riptlon forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to whlch the audit wa8 consldorod capable of detOGting Irregularftles, Includlng fraud Irregularitie$, ir)cluding fraud, are instances of non-compliar)ce with laws and regulations. W8 identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due lo fraud or error, arKI discussed these between our audit leam members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtsining audit evidence SLrfficienl and appropriale lo provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within Wh￿tr the charity opefftles, focusing on those laws and rewlalions that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulation5 we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together wllh ihe Charities SORP (FRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws arKI regulations as part of our audil pr￿ed￿re8 on Ihe relaled financial slalement ilems. io- **The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty** INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HOSPITAL OF ST CROSS AND ALMSHOUSE OF NOBLE POVERTY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were Charities Act 2011, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, The Charities SORP (FRS102) and Financial Reporting Standard 102. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income, stock and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Audit & Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non­ detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non­ compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. ## **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 auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## **Crowe U.K. LLP** Statutory Auditor Thames Valley 1 July 2022 **Crowe U.K. LLP is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.** - 11- The Hospltal of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AcTIV￿lEs FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 P•mian8nt fund$ 2021 Restricted funds 2021 Unrestrlcted fund$ 2021 Total funds 2021 Total funds 2020 Noto Income from: Donations, grants and legaci8S Fundraising activities Investment income Charitable aclivitles 19.021 73,176 92.197 53,329 24.834 558,334 251,408 24,834 560,995 251.408 6.701 426.776 171,232 2.661 Total Income 21,682 7.752 929,434 658,038 Expèndlture on: R8islng funds..
