2 Investments held in the name of the Qffical Trustee for Charities..

As at 31 De¢ember 2019
90,925 income shares in National Association of Almshouses common inveslment fund (market value £82.1691
During 2020, there have been no changes to the number of shares we hold in the M&G Charity Multi Asset Fund.
Markets have been volatile this year, falling heavily when the pandemic hit all share values hard in March 2020. They
gradually started to recover but still closed down on the year to 31 December. Dividend payments have remained
strong and we continue to consider this portfolio a suitable haven for our capital.
3 Trustees took the decision tr) postpone improvements to the properties during the Pandemic, and as a result the
amount of liquid cash in our Accounts has grown significantly during the year. As we approach the end of the year
we intend to investigate the cost of replacing Ihe roof on our Grade 2 Listed Propety. This was shown to be a
necessary repair within a 5 year period in our Maintenance plan dated November 2017. Although the Pandemic did
cause us some additional work. with 2 residents shielding, we have been lucky that there were no changes I vacant
units during the year and all residents We￿ able to keep up to date with payment of MMC. In addition, our village
rallied to ensure all residents needing help and assistance, received that help from a local coordinator. We did take
the opportunity lo review the provider for fire safety in all Almshouses and found that some advice given previously
was suspect. and there were some cost savings to be made on regular servicing. As a consequence we have
changed our Provider.
4 The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis effective from 2012. This is in accordance with
the charity commision guidance which states..
"If your charity has a gross income of £250,000 or less and is not a company then you may be able to prepare
recei
ts and
ments accounts that

le and flexible basis for accounts
aration"
We approve these accounts and confimi thay we have made available all relevant record5 and inforniation for their
preparation
