PETLEY AND DEAKINS ALMSHOUSE CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees present their Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Details are shown on page 2. The present incumbent of St Peter and St Paul's Church, the Reverend Mark Brown, has indicated, as a result of other commitments, that he is not willing to act as an ex officio Trustee, and he is therefore not listed as such in these Financial Statements.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objective of the charity is to provide accommodation for poor persons of good character ordinarily residing in the Ancient Parish of Tonbridge.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Petley and Deakins Almshouse Charity was founded in the 18th Century and is currently regulated by an order of the Charity Commissioners approving a Scheme including appointment of Trustees dated 15 September 1970.
The Trustees meet at regular intervals during the year. The day-to-day administration is carried out by the Clerk to the Trustees and the Treasurer, both of which are voluntary appointments, in collaboration with the Chairman.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
In meeting the objectives the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and judge that all their activities meet this guidance.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
All of the flats were occupied throughout the year. The flats were maintained as was required throughout the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year are shown on the Statement of Financial Activities. The financial position of the charity continues to be most satisfactory with sufficient funds to meet emergency costs that are uninsured.
Designated Funds
Transfers were made from income to the Future Property Fund, and to the Endowment Fund in respect of the increase in the value of the investment.
Reserves
Reserves of £20,000 are held to cover refurbishment costs. Reserves above this amount are accumulated in a Future Property Fund until there is enough in the fund to to purchase a further property, in order to further carry out the charity's objectives.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees will be looking to update the kitchens of the Petley Court flats as they fall empty in future.

PETLEY AND DEAKINS ALMSHOUSE CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES, CONTINUED
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those Financial Statements, 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 the policies are in accordance with applicable accounting standards;
-
prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PETLEY AND DEAKINS ALMSHOUSE CHARITY
We report on the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the Financial Statements (under section 145 of the Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b ) of the Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the Financial Statements present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and
-
to prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.

PETLEY AND DEAKINS ALMSHOUSE CHARITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. Accounting Policies
A summary of the principal accounting policies is set out below.
1.1 Basis of Accounting
The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception that investments are valued at market value. The Financial Statements are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102) and comply with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 issued under the Charities Act 2011.
Housing Properties
Housing properties are stated at cost. As the premises are maintained in a continual state of sound repair such that their estimated residual value is not less than the cost, there is no annual charge for depreciation as it is not considered appropriate. Provision will be made should any permanent diminution in the value of properties occur.
Housing Association Grant
Housing Association Grant (HAG) was paid by the Department of Environment to reduce the cost of any approved scheme to the amount which it was estimated could be serviced by the net annual income of the scheme. HAG is repayable under certain circumstances, primarily following the sale of property, but would normally be restricted to net proceeds of sale. This grant was in respect of "Petley Court" itself and does not relate to any other properties now or in the future. It was a condition of eligibility for grant that a benefiting body became a housing association and that their name be placed on the Register of Social Landlords. In exercise of the power conferred by Section 4 (4) of the Housing Act, 1996 and having received certain undertakings from the Charity trustees, the Board of the Housing Corporation agreed on 9 September 1997 to the deregistration of Petley and Deakins Almshouse Charity.
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund represents the cost of the Housing properties net of Housing Association Grant.
Maintenance Fund
The Maintenance Fund represents amounts set aside to meet repair costs of a major and recurring nature in respect of housing properties where such costs cannot be met from current income.
Future Property Fund
The Future Property Fund represents surplus funds designated to finance the purchase of a new almshouse property.
Value Added Tax
The Charity is not registered for Value Added Tax. Where appropriate, expenditure is shown in the accounts inclusive of VAT.
Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability to continue as a going concern.
