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). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The charity is established to provide housing accommodation, food and support for elderly people in accordance with the aims and principles of The Abbeyfield Society Limited. The charity is an independent association of local people with an Executive Committee comprising elected members. It owns the freehold of Wendover House, 266 Chessington Road, West Ewell, Surrey KT19 9XF. ## **Public benefit** The Society exists to support elderly and vulnerable people through assisted housing and other initiatives. It is the policy of the Trustees to maximise the public benefits provided by the Society in providing high quality support, having regard to the Society's reserves, the cost of facilities and the ability of residents to make payments from their own resources. When reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and planning its activities, the Trustees have due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance, including its guidance on fee charging. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** In 2023, although our occupancy levels were generally high, this was in part sadly due to the deaths of two of our long standing residents, who are missed by both the staff and other residents. Some of the new occupants were initially on a short term "respite" basis as in 2022, after the previous two years had been significantly affected by the global Covid-19 pandemic, We will continue to offer this as an option when we have vacancies, as in some cases it has led to the individuals becoming permanent residents. A highlight in the year was the celebration of the 100th birthday to another of our longer term residents - as well as celebrating with her own family, we held a small celebration at Wendover House to commemorate the occasion. As always, we are grateful to our staff team for their enthusiasm, care and flexibility, particularly in their willingness to cover for each other when someone is ill. This flexibility is invaluable given the small team we have. The financial results for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities. The financial position at the end of the year is shown in the Balance Sheet. The Executive Committee members continue to monitor the costs associated with running sheltered housing properly and look at ways in which they can deliver the service in the most cost-effective way. The trustees are aware that to continue to offer overnight "sleep in" cover (a service which is highly valued by our residents and their families) that Wendover House will operate at a deficit, even if we have full occupancy. The sums available in our various reserves mean that we can continue this policy for some years. The trustees continue to look at new developments and believe that the finances of the Society are satisfactory and that it remains a going concern. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Principal funding sources** The funds received from the sale of Fircroft in 2017 remained invested in a managed investment fund, with the intention that the income from the investments should be used for the purposes that the donor envisaged. The 2019 modifications to the grant making framework, together with increased awareness of relevant local organisations about the availability of grants, enabled us to continue to make grants in 2023. If the investment performance of the Cooper Memorial Fund money permits, the Trustees have approved the use of any surplus not required for grants to individuals to cover the operating deficit on Wendover House. Should the investment performance mean that the surplus is insufficient to cover the operating deficit, the Trustees have agreed that any deficit would be funded by drawing down some of the funds invested (in deposit accounts) from the earlier sale of Grove Cottage. Page 1 **THE ABBEYFIELD EWELL SOCIETY LIMITED** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Investment policy and objectives** In accordance with the trust deed, the trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property in the UK as they see fit. At present, the Committee has pursued a low risk strategy. General funds are invested in interest bearing deposit accounts, spread across banks to minimise exposure to losses. After taking independent financial advice, the proceeds from the sale of Fircroft, £1.1million, were invested in a cautious growth portfolio - divided equally between a "Fund of Funds" investment (Nucleus General Growth Fund V 41) and the Prudential Risk Managed active 3 portfolio. Both investments contain a mix of bonds, UK and global equities, with small amounts allocated to property and to money market funds. These investments are designed to preserve the Fund's capital and to provide a steady return (after deduction of fees), with the intention that returns will be withdrawn to fund the grant making activities of the Cooper Memorial Fund. ## **Reserves policy** It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, for current and future charitable purposes which are in keeping with the Society's aims and objectives, and not as a "hoarding" policy. These purposes include planning for expenditure on maintenance and upkeep of the Society's property, and also to maintain services in periods when the Society's rental income is reduced due to voids. The Executive Committee monitor and review this policy from time to time. The Trustees are also responsible for ensuring that restricted reserves are used solely for the purpose that they have been set aside for, and in keeping with the wishes of the donor where applicable. There are, however, restricted reserves in the form of the Cooper Memorial Fund (formerly designated as "Fircroft"). These reserves are slightly more limited in their application and relate specifically to the care of the elderly, so these funds are earmarked and utilised to this effect. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, as defined the Companies Act 2006, incorporated on 19th June 1961. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Potential Trustees are approached by the board and interviewed for suitability for the role. It is vital that candidates have the time and enthusiasm to give the society in order to make a success of the position and benefit the society in its work. Given the age profile of the current Trustees, the fact that we have recently been unable to identify any new Trustees is a significant risk for the society going forward. ## **Organisational structure** The members of the Executive Committee, who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out below. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** ## **Registered Company number** 00696832 (England and Wales) ## **Registered Charity number** 204444 ## **Registered office** Wendover House 266 Chessington Road West Ewell Surrey KT19 9XF Page 2 THE ABBEYFIELD EWELL SOCIETY LIMrrED IREGisfERED NUMBEIL. ￿￿68321 REPORT OF THE TRusfEFS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST D￿EMBER 2(123 Trustees R Will Fuller J Sherix)urne J P Randall Chatrnian Cojnpxny Secretary C HayhuT5t ImdtpeBdettt Eumitiey Ha15ey & Co (Accountants) Ltd.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

(215,612)| |---|---|---|---|---| |||||(215,612)| During 2010, the Charity received a substantial legacy, a part of which consisted of an endowment of freehold land and buildings named "Fircroft". There was a wish expressed that the legacy be used for the benefit of elderly people living or having a family connection with Ewell and the surrounding area. The fund has been renamed "The Cooper Memorial Fund" and following issues with under-occupancy, the charity has realised a gain from the legacy and invested that gain into invested funds. The income arising from those funds will be utilised to support the other activities undertaken by the Charity which fulfil the wish expressed by the late donor.. ## **15.
