Wilton United Charities
Registered Charity Commission No 203189
Annual Report April 2023 – April 2024
The following is a report on the activities of Wilton United Charities for the past financial year, April 2023 to April 2024.
The St Giles Almshouse flats are housed in a Grade 2 Listed Building. We are now finding that the building itself is beginning to show its age in a number of ways. I particular, many of the windows are in a poor state, especially those at the front of the building.
After much debate with the Board of Trustees and considering the residents’ problems with opening and closing windows, it has been decided to replace all of the windows at the front of the building with completely new unit’s with double glazed panes of glass. To do this, we had to employ an architect to apply to Wiltshire Council for Listed Building Consent. We were granted this consent and ‘Mouldings’ are currently making new windows and doors that should be fitted in the late spring/ early summer 2024. All other windows in the building will be repaired/refurbished and decorated so that all external windows/doors open and close properly.
This will allow residents to get a better circulation of air into their flats and should help to rectify some of the mould that can form when airflow is static.
We also anticipate that further work will be needed to the roof, to try and improve damp penetration in some flats.
All the boilers that have been replaced during recent years have been serviced by SGS who then provide the clerk with the relevant legal paperwork to ensure we keep a close eye on this important aspect of maintenance.
The drains give a problem from time to time. We usually employ a local firm to come and sort the blockage out but now Mr Dunk (flat 12) has said he would keep an eye on the problem and so the Charity has purchased a set of drain rods to help him oversee this. We are most grateful to him for agreeing to do this.
The Charity continues to provide an extra green waste bin to help make garden maintenance a little easier. The gardens continue to look lovely, so thanks to those residents and friends who work hard to provide the colourful floral displays.
A group of Trustees will visit residents on a couple of occasions in the next year, just to check that they are relatively happy but also to listen and make note of any concerns they may have. A date will be circulated to residents a few weeks previous regarding any proposed visit.
Thanks also to Mrs.C. Matthews for her work as clerk to the Charity and to the Board of Trustees for their support. As Chairman and Treasurer, I try to make sure that residents are happy and generally enjoy living at St Giles. The Charity does have a duty of care towards all our residents, and we do our best to ensure that we look after everyone as best we can.

THE WILTON UNITED CHARITIES (Registered Charity No. 203189 )
Report of the Independent Examiner
I report on the Financial Statements and Accounts of the Scheme for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 that are attached.
This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might inform charity’s Trustees on those matters that I am required to report to them arising from this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
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:
-
examine the financial statements under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements have been met:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
