THE LYGON ALMSHOUSES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their annual report and audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
1. Principal activity
The principal activity of the charity continues to be the provision of sheltered housing for the people of Fulham in a 40 flat almshouse at 313 - 321 Fulham Palace Road.
2. Governance
Following Covid restrictions the AGM was delayed until 9 September 2020 at which The Rev Ross Gunderson, who had been Acting Chairman was appointed Chairman. On 12 April 2021 Clare Khalil was appointed a trustee following the resignation of Margaret Stephens who had served as a Trustee for 29 years.
The Lygon Almshouses are governed by the scheme dated 15th March 1977. Of the fifteen Trustees, three are ex-officio, five are nominated by the local authority and seven are co-opted by the board of Trustees and appointed at a special meeting at which all Trustees have the opportunity to vote. As laid down in our scheme, co-opted Trustees “should be persons who through residence, occupation or employment or otherwise have special knowledge of the area of the former metropolitan borough of Fulham.” They are co-opted for the special skills they can offer to the charity.
All Trustees are invited to visit the almshouses. They are sent a copy of the scheme, a copy of the Almshouse Association’s guide to managing an almshouse charity and copies of minutes, accounts and policies adopted by the Trustees over the course of time. Trustees can also attend the Almshouse Association’s training days for clerks and Trustees if they wish.
3. Achievements and performance
The Almshouses had one vacancy at the end of the year, which has since been filled. The cost of voids was £2,997 for the financial year (2020: £1,072). During the Covid restrictions 3 members staff were on Furlough from April to June and again from November to March 2021. The Clerk continued to work during this period, partly at home, ensuring that the Almshouses continued to function safely with the support of a number of residents who helped with cleaning, maintaining the garden and assisting with residents’ deliveries. One resident contracted Covid and has recovered. The Assistant Clerk, who looks after Sir William Powell’s Almshouses, worked from home. At the date of this report all but one of the residents have had both their first and second vaccinations. The Archie Arthur dinner had to be cancelled.
4. Financial review
Charitable activities showed a surplus of £58,444 (2020: £33,381). The increase reflects the fact that lockdown restrictions meant that only essential repairs could be carried out and several projects have had to be postponed to next year, as well as the receipt of furlough grants from the Government. There was a gain on Investments of £215,854 (2020: £170,481 loss), giving a total surplus for the year of £274,298 (2020: £137,100 deficit). Investments increased by 22.1%, compared to 23.3% for the FTSE All Share index over the last 12 months.
5. Plans for future periods
The replacement of the first-floor windows with double glazed aluminium windows, to reduce heat loss and repainting costs, began in April this year. The replacement of lighting in the common parts on the first floor with LED fittings, had to be postponed and will also take place in the coming year.
6. Public benefit
All charities are required to include in the annual report of the Trustees a report of activities undertaken by the charity to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. This requirement is met by the principal activity statement above. During the year ended 31 March 2021 weekly maintenance charge for residents averaged £97.20 (2020: £92.50). Trustees confirm they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission.

THE LYGON ALMSHOUSES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
7. Events after the year-end
Staff on furlough returned to work in early April. There have been no events after the year-end which will impact the accounts.
8. Reserves and investments
The Almshouses hold reserves to meet future liabilities and to generate income to support the charitable activities. These are backed by investments and are held for the long term. Their performance is regularly reviewed by the Trustees. The Trustees are satisfied that sufficient provision has been made in the Extraordinary Repair Fund (ERF) and Cyclical Maintenance Fund (CMF) for future needs. The total of the reserves held is £2,698,268 (2020: £2,424,427).
9. Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Charities Act 2011 requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus of the almshouse for that period. In preparing these accounts the Trustees are required to:-
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed.
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate.
The Trustee body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable it to ensure that the accounts comply with the relevant legislation. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities, by establishing and maintaining a satisfactory system of control over the accounting records, cash holdings and all the charity’s receipts and remittances.
The Trustees who held office at the date of approval of this Report of the Trustees confirm that, so far as they are each aware there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware; and each Trustee has taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a Trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information.
10. Value for money
The Trustees are mindful of the need to obtain value for money in all transactions entered into on behalf of the charity. In respect of the major works to be undertaken a competitive tender involving three potential contractors is carried out.
The regulator has recently issued value for money metrics to ensure performance to be measured consistently for each Registered Provider. We have adopted these which are reported below:

THE LYGON ALMSHOUSES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Legal Form
The Lygon Almshouses is a charity registered in England with the Charity Commission. Its registered office is 313 Fulham Palace Road, London, SW6 6TH.
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accruals basis. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019) and applicable accounting standards and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on 16 July 2014, the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
Incoming resources/income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Outgoing resources (expenditure)
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Costs of charitable activities include all costs relating to the maintenance of the housing properties as well as the support and welfare of the residents.
Governance costs include the cost of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of
the charity.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs.
Funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

THE LYGON ALMSHOUSES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Funds (continued)
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses
arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 5 years Freehold buildings 100 years Property improvements 5 - 20 years Roofing 30 years
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Debtors
Amounts receivable (or paid in advance) at the end of the period are included in the accounts under debtors. These include invoiced service and prepaid expenditure.
Liabilities
Amounts payable at the end of the period are included in the accounts under amounts payable within or after one year as appropriate. This includes amounts due to suppliers and accrued expenditure (due but not invoiced).
Improvements to properties
The charity capitalises expenditure on housing properties which adds to the value of the property or extends its useful life. Improvements to property that relate to assets that have a separately identifiable life to the property concerned are also capitalised but under a category separate from the property.
10
THE LYGON ALMSHOUSES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had an effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
Reserves
Extraordinary repairs
The Scheme requires the Trustees to set aside a sum of not less than £900 each year for the purpose of providing for extra-ordinary repairs, improvements, and rebuilding of the Almshouse belonging to the charity. The Trustees have designated appropriate reserves.
Designated reserves
The charity designates reserves that are not freely available for general use but which are part of its accumulated income:
-
(i) A Arthur designation represents a legacy received in 1992/93 plus further legacies received in 2012/13 & 2018/19. The Trustees are not aware of any restrictions on the use of the legacies but have nevertheless determined they should be used for the benefit of the residents.
-
(ii) Designations for cyclical maintenance and extraordinary repairs are explained in the respective accounting policies set out above.
Endowment fund
Endowment fund designation represents the original investment in the charity together with subsequent surpluses and deficits attributable to that investment.
Restricted Funds
Restricted funds represent the social housing grant plus a donation of £9,000 received during the year which was applied to the cost of improvements to the pathways and is depreciated as set out in note 16.
