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 focus of our activities remains the provision of social housing, the management and letting of lands belonging to the charity and the payments of relief in need. The trustees confirm that there have been no changes in the policies adopted by them to achieve the objects of the charity during the year. In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The Charity provides a public benefit by alleviating the burden on the community and the local authority by providing warden care to the needy at low rents. ## **Volunteers** The Charity is dependent on the services of the trustees who receive no remuneration or benefits for their services. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory and they confirm that assets are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of the charity. Occupancy of the accommodation has been good with void rents of only £3,985. As well as routine maintenance continuing during the year, at Kathleen Field Court, corridors have been repainted and major renovations done to flat 18. At Phebe Bell Court, some kitchens have been replaced and this work is still continuing. Also, ground floor lighting has been updated and major renovations have been done to flat 12. Fire risk improvements have also been made to both properties. Churchfields Road has remained an investment property and been fully occupied during the year. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Investment policy and objectives** The trustee's investment objective is that the real value of the assets be maintained, and enhanced over the longer term. The trustees receive regular reports on the state of its portfolio, and consider the performance to be satisfactory for the year. ## **Reserves policy** The policy of the charity is to hold accumulated reserves to provide capital for investment, which in turn provides income to meet costs as they arise, such as major repair costs. The Charity tries to maintain a break-even situation annually. ## **Void Rents:** During the year the charity suffered void rents amounting to £3,985 (2022 - £1,149) whilst properties were empty. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. Its full objects are defined therein. The charity does not actively fund raise. A copy of the trust deed can be obtained from the treasurer at the registered office shown on page 2. The trustees confirm that there have been no changes in the policies adopted by them to achieve the objects of the charity during the year. Page 1 Bromsgrove United Charities for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 ## Report of the Trustees ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** The trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees. The trust deed provides for a body of nine competent persons, being two ex-officio trustees, three nominated trustees and four co-opted trustees. The trustees have quarterly meetings at which a quorum of four trustees must be present, to agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration is delegated to the treasurer and the clerk to the trustees. ## **Organisational structure** The trustees delegate the day to day running of the charity to the Treasurer and the Clerk to the Trustees, Lisa Siembab. Certain minor repair items are then delegated to the Wardens. Major items are referred to the Trustees. ## **Bishop Hall's Charity for the Needy** In March 2002, Bromsgrove United Charities took over the assets and income of Bishop Hall's Charity for the Needy and it is now administered under the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed of Bromsgrove United Charities. ## **Induction and training of new trustees** The board keeps the skill requirements for the trustee body under review and in the event that a trustee permanently retires or additional new trustees are required, the board will endeavour to recruit suitable new trustees. The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises an initial meeting, followed by a short meeting(s) to provide a brief history of the trust, copy of committee minutes, copies of prior years annual reports and accounts, a copy of the governing trust deed and a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance for trustees. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity number** 206136 ## **Principal address** Phebe Bell Court 10 The Flats Sidemoor Bromsgrove Worcestershire B61 8LF ## **Trustees** M Bishop Chairman L Hodges Vice Chairman B Weaving Trustee R Khan Trustee P Rowan Trustee J Hewer Trustee (resigned 18.2.23) J Grundy Trustee Rev.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. The format of these financial statements has been revised to comply with the Registered Social Landlords General Determination 2006 and the statement of accounting requirements for registered social landlords contained therein, and in accordance with the SORP: accounting by registered social housing providers 2014. ## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': - the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **Expenditure** 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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the costs less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life : Freehold Property - 2% on cost Fixtures & Fittings - 15% on reducing balance Land is not depreciated ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. continued...
