Re ort of trustees of She ard's Almshouse Trust Ch Commission no 207257 Year end 28 February 2023 Date of Report l July 2023 l. The Sheppard's Almshouse Trustees present this report to the Charity Commission for the first time this year. This is as a result of the income of the Sheppard's Almshouse Trust irbcreasing in the last financial year to a sum over £25,000. The primary reason for this is that, although the Trust's normal activities continue. the Trustees consider that refurbishment of the Almshouses is now necessary, in order to make the Almshouses fit for the modern world and for the future. The trustees have therefore incurred expenditure which is not normal for this Trust. 2. The Trust currently ha5 six Almshouses, of which five are currently occupied. The Almshouse Trust is now over 200 years old. and occupies a Listed Building by the school in Amport, near Andover, Hants. The resident of the sixth Almshouse recently passed away. The Trustees are in discussion with an interested party to take occupation. The residents of four of the six cottages have been long term residents for over 20 year5. 3. Each Almshouse. or cottage, ha5 a single main room downstairs. with an adjoining bathroom and kitchen, with metal crittal windows at the rear. Upstairs is a main bedroom with, in all cases but one, an adjoining toilet / washbasin. The bathrooms and kltchen area in particular. as well as the rear windows and walls. require refurbishment. 4. The proposal of the Trustees, for which planning permission and listed building consent have been obtained from the local planning authority, is that a dormer window should be constructed upstair5 at the rear of each cottage, and the existing crittal windows at the rear should be replaced with modern wooden windows. The main bathroom can then be moved upstairs, enabling the existing small kitchen to be enlarged into the existing bathroom space. A modern and efficient heating system will be instslled and the walls treated to address damp problems, thereby making the Almshou5e5 fit for modern living. An architect has been advising on the refurbishment proce5S. 5. The cost of the refurbishment is approximately £65.000 per cottage including VAT, as tendered by reputsble local builders. The Trust currently has assets, in the form of cash and investments, of £180,000 at this time, and will need to find external funds from varioLts sources to finalise the refurbishment. To date to that end, the Trust has raised £21,000 from local donors, which boosted the Trusvs income in the last financial year. The Trust also prop05e5 to obtain a grant and a loan of £IOO,CK)O from other sources, which will be sufficient along with existing assets of the Trust. to refurbish four cottages in 2024 lin the next financial yearl- Further funds will need to be raised to enable all cottages to be completely refurbished.
- The trustees recognise that they will need to fund the storage of furniture and the cost of alternative accommodation where needed for the period of the building works.
- The trustees have had the Tru5t'5 accounts approved by an independent examiner for the year ending 28 February 2023.
- This report by the Trustee5 will accompany the Annual Return to the Charity Commi55i0n for 2023. Signed and approved by the Trustees l July 2023 Christopher Harris (Chairl Diana Stephenson .......-.-..............-........................................
