TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the audited financial statements of Reading Dispensary Trust for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and the financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the governing document, the Charities Act 2011, the 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).

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The public benefit from the Trust’s activities is substantial, within the guidelines laid down by the constitution. Grants are given for equipment and services not available through statutory sources to those suffering from physical and mental illness or disability, living within a seven-mile radius of the centre of Reading. Applications are received via caring organisations, charities, local councils, NHS departments, Citizens Advice, departments of Reading Borough Council, amongst others. A list of sources of applications is attached.

Grant-making policy

Applications are very varied, ranging from gym and physio sessions and horticultural therapy to household items such as fridges and washing machines. All applications require compliance with the objects of the Charity for a grant to be awarded. Applications are assessed on a monthly basis by a sub-committee of three members of the Trust. Since April 2020 these monthly meetings have taken place via Zoom. Full board meetings, which take place quarterly, are conducted face-to-face either at the office or of late at the church opposite, as the latter affords disabled parking and access. The Trust responds to applications as quickly as possible and urgent requests can be dealt with on a faster basis. Any applications over £500.00 are taken to the quarterly full board meeting for approval.

Achievement and performance review

During the financial year 79 grants were made to individuals, with four being declined. Two grants were made to organisations. Grants to individuals totalled £25,597, while grants to organizations amounted to £850.00. The average individual grant given was £231.56 and ranged from £90.00 for an oil-filled radiator to £600.00 for a mobility trike. This year the Trust shared one grant with Berkshire Nurses in Sickness and Relief, whereas in 2021 the figure was 4.

Notable in 2022, was the increase in applications from Social Prescribers; there were 14 applications from social prescribers based at Reading Voluntary Action (7 in 2021), and 8 from University of Reading Medical Practice (I in 2021). Their requests ranged from a bicycle and helmet to a series of horticultural therapy sessions, to a holiday for a client who had lost all her possessions in an arson attack on her home.

The three organizations who have submitted the most requests are: Reading Borough Council 19 (39 in 2021); social prescribers from Reading Voluntary Action 14 (7 in 2021) and social prescribers from the University Medical Practice 8 (1 in 2021), The trust also awarded a grant for a combined application by First Days/Wokingham United Charities for a mobility trike to enable a six year old to cycle with his twin.

Every October, the Trust decides if remaining income allows for them to make grants to local organisations. In 2022 four organizations requested an organisational grant; Read for Good which supplies books to children’s hospital wards; Berkshire Vision for costs for a neighbourly telephone system; Ridgeline Trust horticultural therapy for emergency client costs. Read for Good was awarded £250.00 for books for the Royal Berkshire Hospital. In July, as an urgent organizational grant, £600.00 was awarded to Parenting Special Children to enable them to rent a room for parental therapy sessions in the coming academic year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Developments

In January 2022, Dr David Horne took over as Chair, after Mrs Jean Turton stood down in compliance with the RDT Constitution, having served an additional year to steer the trust through the pandemic. In May 2022, the Chair received an unsolicited approach from another venerable Reading charity, the Queen Victoria Institute. After an internal review, QVI had decided to move away from being a service provider (of Podiatry) to become a grant-making charity. They proposed a merger, as there were synergies with RDT in both broad health focus, and in geographical coverage.

RDT considered the approach sympathetically but carefully, culminating in a meeting with Reading Voluntary Action alongside QVI. In the end, it was decided that points of difference were sufficiently significant to make the merger difficult, and arguably non-viable. Specifically, RDT’s focus is remediation above prevention, and geared more to individual needs than health strategy at population level.

We wish QVI well in their transformation and remain hopeful that RDT can find a constructive way to complement the new QVI, in their eventual form.

One strong positive from QVI's approach is that it has resulted in a root-and-branch review of exactly what RDT does, and how we do it. This is still underway; as yet, it is too early to define outcomes.

A further development occurred in September when RDT was approached by a near neighbour asking whether we would be prepared to sell the building to him. This overture began a three-month deliberation about the future of the physical office, whether it should be sold or developed by the trustees firstly to ensure it is compliant with disability legislation, and then possibly to extend the property to enhance the RDT investment portfolio. Estate agents’ visits resulted in two offers.

An extraordinary general meeting held in December to discuss the future of the office resulted in unanimous agreement that the office should be retained to be developed/refurbished. To this end, remedial work on the drainage adjacent to the front door has been carried out (a problem first identified in 1999) and the building is gradually drying out following an ingress of water. An architect has been in discussions with the Chair about possible redevelopment.

Financial Review

The main source of income for the Trust is from its investments, this income has to cover both the running costs and grant making activities. During the year under review administration costs were kept under control and income compared well with previous years. There were 84 applications in 2022 compared with 95 applications in 2021.

Investment Policy

The charity has an Endowment and General Fund and under its governing documents can use all its income from both funds in achieving its charitable objectives. As such it is important that the Charity maintains the value of its investments in real terms and that income increases. Therefore the Charity is a long term investor and the investment objective is a balanced return from income and from capital growth. Investments are managed by professional stockbrokers, but all decisions as to purchase and sale are made by the trustees, after considering appropriate advice.

Risk Management

The principal risks faced by the Trust lie in the performance of investments and the capacity of the Trust to make effective grants. Suitable insurance is maintained in respect of the Charity’s property.

Reserves Policy

The trustees consider that the income received is sufficient to fund the payment of grants and administrative expenditure. The trustees consider that the cash at bank and monies held on deposit represent working capital available for such expenditure and contingencies.

.

Key Management

The trustees consider the board of trustees and the clerk as the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. General information

Reading Dispensary Trust is a public benefit entity limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the charity's registered office is 16 Wokingham Road, Reading, RG6 1JQ.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Reading Dispensary Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.3 Incoming resources with related expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - Not depreciated
Office equipment - 20% straight line

2.5 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

Page 9

READING DISPENSARY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.8 Financial instruments

The charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2.10 Governance costs

Governance costs include the costs for the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts..

2.11 Property

Property is not depreciated as it is included in the financial statments at open market value. The property is subject to a professional valuation every five years and in the interveing years the valuation is based on the opinion of the trustees.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
