## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP<br>reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para<br>1.17|The objects of the charity are:<br>a. The relief of poverty by the provision of<br>housing for beneficiaries, and<br>b. Such charitable purposes for the benefit of<br>the residents as the trustees decide.<br>c. The maintenance of the endowed chapel<br>served by a chaplain and a manse to serve<br>as a residence for the chaplain or for other<br>purposes determined by the trustees.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para<br>1.17 and<br>1.19|The charity provides and maintains six almshouses<br>as accommodation for single women.<br>Although almshouses are not currently categorised<br>as social housing, in practice they provide<br>accommodation that is significantly more affordable<br>than market prices i.e. at a level lower than the<br>Local Housing Allowance. The charity pays for all<br>repairs and improvements to the almshouses and<br>plans to make them more energy efficient by<br>installing solar panels and air source heat pumps in<br>the coming year.<br>The chaplain has oversight over the properties,<br>exercises pastoral care to the almswomen and<br>leads worship in the Chapel.<br>The chapel and manse are Grade 1 listed buildings<br>and therefore require specialist maintenance and<br>repairs which accounts for the consistently high<br>expenditure on these assets. Historic England and<br>East Devon County Council Conservation Officer<br>recommended that the charity sought expert advice<br>from an accredited conservation surveyor and<br>David George RICS & IHBC was retained. Surveys<br>of the entire site were commissioned and plans to<br>submit a comprehensive listed building consent<br>application are in progress with a view to replacing<br>the leaking roof and protecting the chapel from<br>further deterioration.|

|||The chapel windows have been repaired this year<br>with most having to be almost completely replaced<br>in a bespoke manner. This has been extremely<br>labour intensive and has required specialist skills<br>thus necessitating an expenditure of £24,400 this<br>year.<br>Planned routine maintenance on the almshouses<br>has been carried out and roof insulation improved.<br>New EPCs will be commissioned as soon as further<br>energy saving measures have been put in place<br>e.g. ASHP and solar panels. All the old water tanks<br>have been removed.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP<br>reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para<br>1.20|Some of the beneficiaries receive government<br>benefits and would not be able to afford<br>accommodation in East Devon. Some have family<br>members in the area and so being able to live<br>nearby is very important for mutual support. Since<br>all the residents are capable of independent living,<br>they each actively contribute to the life of the local<br>community.<br>As well as having its own congregation, which is<br>active in the community and self-supporting, the<br>Grade 1 listed chapel attracts significant interest<br>from visitors due to its links with the National Trust<br>property ‘A La Ronde’.<br>The meadow in which it stands is being managed<br>with close attention to maintaining biodiversity and<br>environmental impact. It is a quiet, and picturesque<br>space used daily by both members of the public<br>and community groups.|

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para<br>1.21|The Trustees maintain two separate funds for<br>administrative<br>purposes,<br>both<br>of<br>which<br>are<br>unrestricted. The General Fund which may under the<br>Scheme be applied as appropriate “in furthering the<br>objects of the charity”, and the Housing Fund<br>(designated) which is used for the maintenance and<br>repair<br>of<br>the<br>residential<br>properties.<br>Capital<br>investments<br>are<br>managed<br>by<br>the<br>investment<br>management company CCLA. (Churches, Charities<br>and Local Authorities)<br>The General Fund relates to the provision of the<br>Chapel building for worship and the Manse for the<br>resident Chaplain, along with the payment of an<br>honorarium to the Chaplain.  There is an ERF<br>(Extraordinary Repair Fund) for the Chapel and Manse<br>which at 30.06.2024 had a market value of £30,005<br>and a Cyclical Repair Fund for planned maintenance<br>and repairs with a market value of £100,000.  Total<br>repairs and maintenance costs amounted to £37,412.<br>The Housing Fund relates solely to the provision of<br>almshouse accommodation and is required to be self-<br>supporting and non-profitmaking.  The Housing Fund<br>has an ERF which at 30.06.2024 had a market value of<br>£100,000 and a Maintenance and Administration Fund<br>with a market value of £61,695. Total expenditure on<br>maintenance and repairs was £9,286.<br>Separate funds are generated by the members of the<br>Chapel congregation for the running costs of the<br>chapel and its worship, and for the related expenses of<br>the Chaplain.  The Chapel accounts are attached as<br>an appendix to the Charity accounts.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para<br>1.22|The Charity recognises the need for investment<br>income to meet the regular excess of costs over<br>weekly maintenance contributions (WMC income) and<br>has resolved to maintain reserves amounting to<br>£140,000 invested with CCLA to generate this income.<br>In addition, there is a need to have readily available<br>funds or investments convertible into cash to cover day<br>to day expenditure, especially if WMC income is<br>reduced because almshouses become vacant. To<br>mitigate this risk, free reserves of £35,000 (equivalent<br>to the WMC generated by full occupancy for one year)<br>would be required to allow the charity to operate for at<br>least 12 months. without income from WMC so this<br>amount is invested in an easy access account with<br>CCLA.<br>There are no restricted funds but the current reserves<br>policy has designated £100,000 for the replacement of<br>the chapel roof and associated repairs.|

## **THE CHARITY OF MARY PARMINTER** 

## **REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 210057** 

## **ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED** 

**30 JUNE 2024** 



## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY OF MARY PARMINTER REG. CHARITY NO: 210057** 

Report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] June 2024 as set out on pages 4 - 11 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. The independent examiner has the responsibility to state whether particular matters have come to their attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

The examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently an audit opinion is not expressed. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - a. to keep accounting records in accordance with the 2011 Act; and 

   - b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting policies and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met: or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached 

**NAME:** 


_**Dr. Ian Harrison**_

## **Trustees’ responsibility for the Accounts** 

Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare Statements of Account for each financial year which represent the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources for that period. 

In preparing those Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume t hat the Charity will continue in operation. 

- To value assets and liabilities in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting by Charities (SORP) 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Association, and to enable them to ensure that any statements of account comply with the requirements for the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) FRS 102 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008. 

They are 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

Cottages 1,2 and 3 were built in 1969 at a cost of £9,092 and were financed partly from internal funding and partly from an interest free loan from the Charity’s General Fund out of a gift from the Devon and Cornwall Congregational Union. 

Cottage 4 was part of the original endowment and created by the amalgamation of original almshouses 4 & 5. 

Cottages 6 and 7 were built in 1978 at a cost of £20,655 and were financed by a loan from East Devon District Council (now repaid) and partly from a grant of £14,899 from the Department of the Environment and partly from an interest free loan from the Charity’s General Trust Fund out of a gift from the Devon and Cornwall Congregational Union. 

**Note:** The Charity has no legal right to dispose of the properties other than by transfer to another charity at the nominal book value, representing original costs less the Housing Association Grant (which might have to be repaid).  Any proposal for sale must be in consultation with the Charity Commission with the expectation that sale proceeds are used for the reprovision of almshouses.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY OF MARY PARMINTER REG. CHARITY NO: 210057** 

Report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] June 2024 as set out on pages 3 - 11 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. The independent examiner has the responsibility to state whether particular matters have come to their attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

The examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently an audit opinion is not expressed. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - a. to keep accounting records in accordance with the 2011 Act; and 

   - b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting policies and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met: or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

**NAME:** 


_**Dr. Ian Harrison**_ 

**DATE: 7[th] October 2024**
