## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_

3 residents passed away and one moved into a nursing home. 

There are two prospective residents on the list of applicants as of 31 December 2021 

With the lifting of Covid 19 restrictions we were able to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Almshouse Association with afternoon tea in the chairman's garden. 

## Activities of the Trustees

## **THE HAVEN OF REST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Financial review** 

The financial statements as laid out on pages 4 to 13 comply with current statutory requirements. 

Total reserves currently stand at £1,131,368 (2020: £1,166,466). 

Net loss before revaluation of investments for the year was £28,322 (2020: gain of £29,610). The net movement in funds was a loss of £35,098 (2020: gain of £17,787). 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level  sufficient to undertake repairs and maintenance requirements as they arise and accumulate funds in order to undertake major improvements and repairs from time to time.  Income that is not immediately required for repairs is invested in two funds approved by the charity commission and monitored regularly. 

The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities . This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity  was established by a charitable trust deed on 23 October 1986. 

The Trustees  who served during the year were: Mrs J Thomas Mr I Thomas Mrs V Lee (Resigned 31 March 2021) Mr K Whiteside (Resigned 17 June 2021) Mrs C Rowley Mrs J Cottrell Mrs F Stone Mr T Pottage (Appointed 18 October 2021) 

Trustees appoint members collectively as a body. 

All decisions are made by the trustee body as a whole and appropriate powers and authority is delegated to individual trustees who implement the decisions. 

The Trustees'  r eport was approved by the Board of  Trustees.

## **THE HAVEN OF REST** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HAVEN OF REST** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 4 to 13. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- (i) examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the  G eneral Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and , consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention: 

- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - (ii) to prepare financial statements  which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; 

   - have not been met or 

- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **THE HAVEN OF REST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Company information** 

The The Haven of Rest is a registered charity, number 202892, and is constituted under a trust deed dated 23 October 1986. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed.  the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the  Trustees have  a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Income relates to rent received from residents and is recognised in accordance with the tenancy agreement. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.  Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under  Gift Aid or  deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **THE HAVEN OF REST** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured  reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.  Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of  the dividend due. This is normally upon  receipt of the income in the bank account . 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

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 settlement will be required and the  amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and  governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure  was incurred. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

The charity applied the FRS102 transitional arrangements. As such the property's value became its deemed cost as at 1 January 2014. 

Land and buildings are not subject to depreciation because the buildings are considered to have negligible value in comparison to the value of the land. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in  income/ (expenditure for the year , unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset  in  prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic  financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value  and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Other financial assets**_ 

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in  net income/(expenditure) , except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
