Chairman's Preface The College Vision - 2026 and onwards Our long-tem) vision for the College, set in 202213. sets out four areas of focus that continue to shape our development and objectives. While the four elements of the vision are not objectives in and of themselves. they are the lens though which we develop plans. The vision has four elements, each of which address a different facet of the College's life. We will honour and develop our founder Canon Cooper's original charitable purposes. understanding that while the circumstances that he found have changed. there are similar needs among potents'al resident groups that our charitable mandate impels us to address. In 2024125. as in previous years, we saw pressures on personal finances, and more potential residents whose financial resources were no longer able to support them. Getting word of the College out into the appropriate communities IdioseS. parishes. retirement teams etc) is now more important than ever as our a5sessfflent is thal this need will increase in the years ahead. I write this as my first preface to the College of St Barnabas's Annual Rewrt having tsken over from David Williams as Chair of the Council at the AGM in 2025. The College aspires to become expert at addressing ageing issues in a Christian environment. We aim to be a ntre of learning. modelling this learning through our servIs. We provide holistic care in a safe environment, and the well-being of residents is our main conrn. Building on the Council's Vision There had been changes lo the governance struclure and the shaping of the College's Wision in 2022 and 2024 and it seemed sensible to consolidate these changes and begin to deliver on the identty of the College in regards to its care for resmjents across the campus. The Care Wing is already CQC registered and it seems lo the Council desirable that the cloister residen$ come under the same CQC umbrella. Progressing this ambition will shape 2026. Financial focus A financial review of the residents has given us a better understanding of our own financial forecasts as we look to keep our budget in balance, as well as looking out for the needs of the residents. In 2024125 we saw growing engagement with the local community and outside organisations, and our long-temi work to reenergise pre-covky netsvorks continued to bring results. We have a growing relationship with our local primary school who are now regular visitors during the year. We have seen a growth of resident-led activity and programmes, helped by having residents from a wider range of Christian backgrounds who bring new voices to the College. Our work to bring families into the life of the College continues, now celebrated annually at our June Residents and Stsff party. Creation care and stewardship are an integral part of our operalion. We do this because it is the right thing to do for reasons Ihat can be articulated in both spiritual and secular tenns. The implications of this objective are apprecialed by residents. staff. and stakeholders alike. Management and Governance The effective delivery of the College operation is dependent on a skilled staff team. Their efficiency and effectiveness falls under the auspices of the CEO Monty Erskine and his senior team. The upskilling of the senior management team to take more budgetary responsibility for Iheir areas of responsibility is having a positive impact in controlling costs while delivering excellent care and Seices. In 2024125 we saw our Operations Manager, Eifjon Davies, filmed by Surrey County Council as an example of recycling tsest practice, the result of his and the residents and staff commitment to our new recycling agenda. We are beginning to work on the grounds. with plans afoot to reslore the College pond and bring the glasshouses and vegetable patch back into use. The truslees conduct monthly inspections of the staff. the Care Wing and other College residents ar)d they attend the monthly residents, meeting. The Care and Welfare committee have focused on the CQC'S assessment criteria for residential care homes and receive regular reports on the Care Wing and safeguarding issues. A project committ has been fomed to take on the more detailed delivery of the CQC criteria across the College. Our estate and buildings have value and are a viable base from whlch to develop our services. We seek lo develop and conserve whal we have with innovation and creativity, ever mindful of our residents, needs. As the four elements of the vision outlined atr•ve take shape they will feed into our plans for the buildings and eslate. However. before making changes to the building. we need to confinn whal's needed in order to provide the better services we have identified, and what those changes will look like if done in an environmentally responsible manner. This means that developing the building and estate comes last.. however. we can begin to sound out statutory and professional bodies. The Finance and Fundraising Committee has overseen the move to a better financial recording system and the Standing Committee's remit now includes risk managefflent. In conclusion The College is in good heart as it seeks to se(xJre a sustainable future amid an ever changing landscape. Meeting the vision, especially the buildings element. will involve a major capital fundraising campaign. and this will be a focLJS for the Council in 2025-6. Venerable Stephen Taylor Chairman Please get in touch with the CEO (chiefexecutive@collegeofstbamabas.cDml if you have questions about the vision or our plans. "At the AGM in 2025 David Williams stood down and Stephen Taylor joined the trustees as Chaimian.
Fundraising Trust and PCC supporters 2024125 As ever, we are deeply indebted to our supporters. the private individuals. Church communities and trusts, foundations and other grant-fflaking bodies without whose help we would be unable to care for our residents. Thank you all. The Caterham Valley Parish Hall Co Ltd The Clergy Support Trust Holy Saviour West Croydon PCC Holy Trinity Crockham Hill PCC Declining supporter numbers and a dtfficult economic situation have made fundraising particulaF1y challenging during 2024125 with many of our private individual supporters telling us of their own financial struggles and their need to cut back on or completely stop their charitable giving. and this has also been reflected in recent times by the number of Church communities that are no longer able to help. The major challenge facing our charity's fundraising operation is the recruitment of new supporters. We are not alone in this.. these are difficulties that all charrties are currently facing. Nonetheless. we ran a moderately sucSsful 2024 Christmas Appeal followed by a smaller 2025 Summer Appeal. We were greatly helped this year by ourmanyyears ofbehind-the-scenes hard work on legacy fundraising yielding a couple of significant results from fomier supporters who, having made provision for loved ones, had then taken the step of leaving a final gift to the College in Iheir will. It is lo be hoped thal more of our loyal private individual supporters will follow this example and mark their association with the College in this way although this is, of course. an intensely personal decision to take.

Review of the Year Tkne 2025 'VE80' celebrations marked 80 years since the end of WWIII, and we remembered and celebrated for the last official time, though the day will be remembered in years to come. During 2024125 the College both enjoyed a year of development and stability while at the same lime facing and managing considerable external financial headwinds. The occupancy rates in both the residential care wing and our almshouse flats were encouraging. and we enjoyed a sleady stream of trial visits afjd applications lo join the College. Vve ran our SLtmmer staff, residents and families BBQ in June, and this year several mmberS of the staff team upped the s2rtorial standards by coming In national dress. Our summer party is a relatively new initiative but has become an important fixture in the year where residents and their families can meet staff and their families for a day where the focus is on them rather than the public. We continued the work repairing and repainling the exterior of the College. along with replacing our external signage. This year we redecorated the Common Room, replacing ihe dull lighting and paintwork with a new decorative scheme that continued the theme from the Refectory and corridors. These works h3ve been made possible Ihroiigh the generosity of a long-term donor and have made a huge improvement lo the look and feel of the College, lor both existing and potential residenls. This work will continue next year and includes the replacement of chairs in the Common Room, thanks to the support of the Friends of the College of St Barnabas. The 'Friends have continued lo be a Viial resour for residents, both via their financial generosity and their practical support of residents a: social events, visiting. and Iheif running of the weekly College shop. Residents set up and ran a range ofone-off and regular study and prayer programmes and meetings, helped by slam where requested, but usually as Independent small groups. Our regular range of weekly art and monlhly film, music and poetry meetings continued. and our fortnightly 'exiend' exercise classes were assessed and expanded to offer sessions for Care Wing residents as well as supported living residents_ The twice weekly taxi service was well supported, and Care Wing iesidents especially enjoyed their weekly visits from R05ie, our PAT dog. The College shop has continued lo operate each Monday supporting those residents who find getting out to the shops too difficult. The financial pressures [ad by the College were significant. and outside our control. The whole country fell the effect of rising costs and the College did not escape, with the biggest pressures wming from increased food and supplier prices. At the same lime we faced Increases in employer's national insurance rates and thresholds. As a Gharily the insistence by the goverr)ment that this should apply to charities was frustrating, given th31 the additional costs were coming out of income that included the donations of our many supporters. Nevertheless the College rose lo the challenge with iesidents being asked to make a mid-year contribution lop-up. and the staff team working lo find savings in our expenses. We now have a well-established monthly Residents. Meeting chaired by the CEO that looks at current College issues and gives residents a chance lo raise and discuss any subject they wish. These meetings are on the middle Wednesday of the month and are attended by a Council member who can speak on behalf of trustees_ We have been aware Ihat residents would like more aCsS to Irustees. and during the year we were able to publish a fuller list of all governance weetings so that residents know when trustees will be around the College. Alongside the monthly residents, meetings we rLJn monthly Iruslee inspections when a trustee will come inlo the College and speak lo residents 01 staff on a one-lo-one basis so that we can capture problems or feedback ané get ahead of issues. Our Creation Care agenda. a key plank of the College Vision {see p.8) was boosted during the year when we were asked by Surrey County Council to showcase the College's progress on sustainable procurement and recycling. This has been led by OLJr Operations Manager, Eifion Davies. and he was duly filmed talking through the inilialives he has implemented. Hollywood beckonsl Alongside the work on recycling and procurement, In 2025 another member of the Operations Team.

While he ¢ovldn'l manage the whole 1 .2 rnillion, Charlie has replanted our northern boundary with hundreds oftfees and hedgerow plants, courtesy of the scheme_ Farewell and Welcome We gave thanks for the lives of the following residents who have passed away this year.. Alma Godfrey, Robin McDowall and Anne Bayley. Over the year we welcomed Margaret Holness. Margaret King. David Gilbert, Briafi Hackshall, Judith Mahatane, Leonard and Lynne Payne, Elaine Robson, Stuart Scott. Brenda Williams and Janet Wilson to the College. Resident Life College Chairnian The year started with our Open Day in early September, with a good lum-oul of the local communily, and a chance for visitors lo be given tours of the College and see what life is like for our residents. We are always surprised al how many locals tell us that they had no idea the College was here-, publicising our presence has advantages and disadvantages, on the one hand it is good for people to know we are here and an active part of the local sne, on the other there is value in haying a degree of privacy given the nature of our community- This year we said farewell lo Chairman David Williams al the 2025 AGM and welcomed Stephen Taylor as the new Chairman. David has been a vital and tireless supporter of the College, and while much of his work has been behind the scenes his contribution and support has been vital In ensL4ring the College transilioned from a state of posl-covid shock lo a viable and growing institution looking ritmly forward5. Residents and staff had a chance lo say farewell and thank you to David during the year, and we are delighted Ih3t he will slay in touch via College membership. We now have a good relationship with Domansland Primary School, and we were delighted that during the year we had several visits froTn the children, mostly to sing, but also lo chat to residents. The noise level in the Commori Room goes up considerably when Ihey are here, and residents love the opportunily to chal. The College was pleased to welcome Stephen Taylor as the new Chairm3n. His arrival was delayed by a few months as he completed prior commilmeTrts. bul residents and staff have had a chance lo get to know him, and we look forward lo his guidance in the yeafs lo come. 12
Staff, mana9efflent and operations Structure, Governance and Management Function and Constitulion The year was relatively settled in terms of the staff team, with Amy Stolton settling in as our new HR Administrator and Safeguarding Officer. We have continued to look at ways of managing our staff costs while at the same time giving our brilliant staff team the sort of working environment that they deserve. One new initiative during the year was to offer Jny staff momber a local rail card. and we continued lo look at the range of In work benefits that we can offer.

The principal source of public benefit that the College delivers is that where f(s residents are unable to meet the full economic costs of the ServIS provided to them from their own reSoUrS andlor from grants they are eligible to re1Ve. the shortfall in their contributions is covered by the College. drawing for this purpose on its charitable income from various fundraising activities. The College's charitable income also helps to meet the substantial costs of maintaining its Grade 2 listed building. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistenuy. observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. prepare the financial statements on the going conrn basis until it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. In the year to 31 August 2025 the total subsidy provided by the College in this way to supported living residents amounted to over £11,000 each month, equivalent, to over 150/0 of the total residents, contributions. The total support offered to SUPPOrted residential Care Wing residents, being the differen between payments made by Surrey County Council and actual cost of care amounted to over £20,000 each month. The College does nol currently set a limit to the nurnber of residents vrt can benefil from this support. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregulartties. In addition. the College seeks to engage in local community events and avaYS looks at ways of making its facilities more widely available, subject to the primary function of the &Ylege. The trustees confirm that. in the case of each person who was a trustee at the time when this report was approved. the following applies". So far as each trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information needed by the charitable company's auditors in connection with preparing their report of which the auditors are unaware and. Each trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a trusteeldirector in order to become aware of any relevant audit infomiation and to establish thal the auditors are aware of that information.

Financial Review Future Plans and Challenges Having reviewed costs and set in hand annual reviews of finance for residents. together with a plan to research and develop a new service. Domiciliary Care, the College is cautiously optimistic in its finances. Cautious as the govemment policies on immigration. employment and the regulabon of the wide-ranging care sector all direclly impact on the college, where personal support and care is an essential seNice. In addrtion, local authority and other governmental funding of individuals is under strain. Summary. On behalf of trustees, l am pleased to say that the financial results for 2025 bear the fruit of the hard work by the CEO and his team to wntrol costs in a challenging economic environment. with close attention being paid to operats'onal budgets whilst ensuring continuing focus on quality supwrt and services to our residents. The aim was to achieve a baland budget within 30A and this was achieved. We thank Monty Erskine CEO and his senior management team. In the year ahead we need to build on our strong operational finances and cost contfol and look to investment and growth. We anticipate growth in fundraising once the new website is developed with the new service planned in Domiciliary care. It was necessary to draw down some investments earlier in the year, but the cash balance held at the end of the year represents a successful operational year. By the end of the financial year, there was a net cash surplus, and the college is now able to plan the reinvestment of surplus monies. There will be renewed vigour in considering the best way to optimize the value of our property. The Lodge.. currently rented successfully to long term tenants. Trustees can have a very high level of Confiden in the detailed accounts as during the year one of our trustees, Alexandra Durrant, who is an accountanl and audf(or herseff, was invrted by our CEO to work with the slaff team and go through our accounts in detail. which included a thorough review of aged debtors . The CEO and l are both pleased that this exercise, which together with testing a new form to help individual residents review their finances each year, is providing us wrth such a strong foundation for the year ahead. As the management of change continues, we will be challenged to ensure our senior team can both manage the existing operation and plan for the development of new iniliatwes and projects. Financial Results Summary. Total incoming reSoUrS were £2.403.098 {2024 was £2,403,889} and totsl extEndrture was £2,402,89412024, was £2,490,651). resulting in a surplus of income over expenditure. Ruth Martin. Lay Canon. BA (Honsj, MA Honorary Treasurer Contributions from residents were £1.933.14612024 £1.832.919), an increase of 5.470/0. Towards the end of the year the CEO and Treasurer held confidential interviews with some residents to test a way of annually reviewing residents, financial circumstanS and financial support needs. This was positively received by those residents and will become part of an annual review which will underpin residents, financial contributions. Donations, gifts and legacies in 2025 were very similar to the previous year at £411.522 {2024. £412.0741. The new fundraising strategy is expected to be launched once trustees revise the vision and strategy for the college of St Barnabas, in the light of the Council's support to increase focus on CQC regulation. This goes beyond our current Almshouse registration, and longer lemi will embrace Domiciliary Care as an additional service, as well as the existing cafe for residents in our Care Wing. The consequential changes will shape our website and fundraising strategy. We thank Mike Herbert for all his considerable success as our fundraising lead, not least in seeing the fruition of his careful. long-term work on legacies. Property Assets. The College also continues to receive rent from its property, The Lodge. and it is antIpated that decisions about how we can make best use of this asset in the short and long temi will be a focus during the 202512026 year. Investments and Reserves. During the early part of the year the College had to draw down investments, bul the operational changes to improve resilience and rigouf led to a stronger position on cash as the year ended. It is expected that surplus monies will be invested 202512026 which will increase the investments held during 2026. Investments are managed through Charles Stanley and Co. under delegated authorty from Council. 19 20

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial st8teiTents section of our report. We are independent of the College in accordance with the ethical requirements tb,at are relevant to OL>r audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe the audit eviden we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion_ Conclusions relating to 90ing concern In auditing the financial slalements, we have concluded that the Council members, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. As explained more fully in the slalemenl of Council members responsibilities, the Council. who are also the directors of the College for the purpose of company law. are responsible for the preparation of the financial statempnts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as Ihe Council detemine is necessary lo en8ble the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Council are responsible for assessing the College's ability lo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the CoLtncil either intend to liquidate the charitable company or lo cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively. may cast significant doubl on the College's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of al least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Council wi4h respect to going concem are described in the relevaffll sections of this report.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is malerially inconsistent with the financial statements. or our koowledge obtained In the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such maleiial inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatemenl in the financial statements themselves. Sf, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a malerial misstatement ol this other information, we musl report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial stslements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurantr about whether Ihe financial statemefflls as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due lo Iraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opiTrion.

Independenl Auditor's Report to the Members of the College of St Barnabas Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial stalements, whether due lo fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks. and obtain audit evidence Ihal is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material mis51atemenl iesuliing from fraud is higher than for one resuliing from error. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design audit proceduies that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purwse of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company'> internal control.

Expendilure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the lolal ol direct costs and shared ¢osls. including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable lo single activity ale allocated dire¢lly to that activity. Shared costs which conlribJle lo more Ihan one activity aad support costs which are not attributable lo a single a¢livity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consislenlwith the LFse of resources. Central s13ff costs 31e allocated on the basis of lime spent, and depreciation Charges are allocated on the portion of Ihe asset's use. Direct costs 3re allocated based on the nature of the cost Any costs relating lo more than one charitable acb.vity are split equally between the activities as this is believed to best represent the nature ol these cosls.

Application of those resources in accordance with the donors, wishes is shown as restricted fund expenditure with the balance of unexpended resources shown as reslricled funds on the balance sheet. Fixed assets purchased from reslflcted funding are capitalised and depreciated over their expected Lt5eful lives. The depreciation applicable lo the funding provided fvom the reslricled fund is charged lo that fund. The nel book value of such assets is held within restn¢led funds. Where such funds are raised or donated lo be held as capital assets by the College, these are shown as reslricled funds whilst the (Trcome from the appeal ¢onlinues. Endowmenl funds are subject lo spettific conditions by donoTS th81 the caprtal musl be maintained by the College.
