## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objective of the charity is to provide accommodation for the elderly in need, who must be over the age of 60 and have lived in the Parish of St Leonards, Hythe for not less than 10 years. 

## **Achievements and performance in the year (including financial review)** 

The charity provides accommodation in the form of 7 self-contained flat-lets in a part-medieval, part post Second World War building, conveniently situated at 150 High Street, Hythe. Residents had agreed to contribute £200 each from their winter fuel bills to aid with rising living cost. A relatively quiet year with no disasters. 

Rental income increased during the year following an increase in rent rates. Expenditure has decreased on the previous year by around £6.7k, mainly due to repairs to the wall required in the prior year which were not undertaken this year. A surplus for the year of £3,345 (2023: deficit £15,139) has been reported, before gains/losses on investments. 

The net movement in funds after gains on investment is an increase of £5,732 (2023: decrease £6,253). This resulted in reserves at 31 December 2024 of £223,621 (2023: £217,889). 

## **Investment policy** 

The Trustees may invest, as they see fit for the benefit of the charity, all funds in the Income Fund. The investments are decided by a resolution of the Trustees at Trustees meetings. 

## **Reserve policy** 

The Trustees consider the level of unrestricted reserves to be adequate. At 31 December 2024 the unrestricted general funds amounted to £47,185 (2023: £41,407). It is the aim to have a minimum of 1 years expenditure, amounting to £34,000 (2023: £34,000), to safeguard the future of the charity. This is based on budgeted future expenditure including any renovation and improvement costs. 

The Permanent Endowment fund represents the value of the original investments defined as permanent endowment in the charity's governing document. Any appreciation arising from this sum is shown as part of the permanent endowment fund. At 31 December 2024 the fund had a balance of £26,398 (2023: £25,878). 

The Expendable Endowment fund is for the purpose of providing for the extraordinary repair, improvement of rebuilding of the almshouses belonging to the charity. At 31 December 2024 the fund had a balance of £991 (2023: £991). 

Designated funds represent the 'Fixed asset fund' which is the value of tangible fixed assets and investments designated to by the Trustees to provide an income stream and the 'repair and renovation fund' which is to provide for future repairs and renovations for the flat-lets. The value of the funds amount to £149,047 (2023: £149,113). 

Restricted funds represented donations received for specific purposes such as the repairs to the Almshouse wall and the 750th Anniversary. The funds had been fully spent by the end of the year (2023: £500).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **Risk register** 

The Trustees have developed a list of the current risk factors which have the potential for endangering the operations of the charity and are satisfied with this analysis and the measures which have been taken to mitigate the effects of these factors. 

The main risks to the charity are the usual Health and Safety issues, which the Trustees keep under regular review. In addition, income comes mainly from rental income from the flats as investment income. All reasonable steps were taken to protect the Residents from Covid-19 and the usual risks for the elderly. 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees have taken all the necessary steps to ensure our residents remain safe and well. We have been fortunate that we have not suffered any loss of income as maintenance payments continues to be paid. No large items of expenditure have been necessary and our bank balances have remained stable. There have been disposals and acquisitions of new investments during the year. Based on this the Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern. 

## **Plans for the future** 

The Trustees will have any recommendations made by The Senior Building Fire Safety Inspector of Kent Fire & Rescue Service due to visit on 10 January 25 and will generally maintain the high standards of safety in the home. 

## **Structure** 

Although the earliest known recorded mention of St Bartholomew's Hospital in Hythe was in 1274, the charity has its origins in a Charter dated October 1336 by Hamo De Hethe, Bishop of Rochester and is registered with the Charity Commission, number 209221. 

## **Governance and Management**

They are nominated by resolution of the Trustees for a term of 5 years.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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 charity 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 

Hospitals of St. Bartholomew and St. John is a registered charity with the Charity Commission in the England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities is to provide accommodation for the elderly in need, who must be over the age of 60 and have lived in the Parish of St Leonards, Hythe for not less than 10 years. 

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **1.2 Funds accounting** 

Unrestricted general funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees. 

Expendable endowment fund represents investments specifically named in the Scheme as forming the original expendable endowment. 

Designated funds represent funds invested in fixed assets. The designated fund balance has been represented to ensure that fund balance stated accurately reflects the designation policy adopted by the Trustees. 

Permanent endowment fund represents investments specifically named in the Scheme as forming the original permanent endowment. Any appreciation arising from this sum is shown as part of the permanent endowment fund. 

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. 

## **1.3 Income recognition**

## **HOSPITALS OF ST BARTHOLOMEW AND ST JOHN** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Improvements to hospital - 10% reducing balance Computer Equipment - 3 years straight line 

The ownership of the almshouses was transferred to the charity following the amalgamation of two previous charities. No value had previously been placed on the almshouses and the Trustees are of the opinion that to undertake a formal valuation would be cost prohibitive and therefore they are included at nil value. 

## **1.6 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. 

## **1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **1.8 Financial instruments** 

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **1.9 Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## **1.10 Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believes that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees has 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. 

## **1.11 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## Depreciation 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 7 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 1.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

## **2 Permanent endowment invested on a total return basis** 

The charity has been granted the investment power of total return by the Charity on 7 August 1987. This power permits the Trustees to invest permanently endowed funds to maximise total return and therefore to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income. The unapplied total return remains invested as part of the permanent endowment until that power is exercised. When exercised it allows the Trustees to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year.
