## **Huggens’s College**
## **Trustee report for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
The Trustee present its annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Huggens's College (the “Charity”) for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The principal objective of the Charity is to provide public benefit through the provision of Almshouse accommodation for individuals or couples who are of good character and are prepared to sign an agreement to consent and abide by and observe all rules and regulations made by the Trustee for the due ordering of the College, over the age of 60, able to live independently, of limited financial resources, not in full time employment or self-employment and recognise that Huggens’s College is a community with Christian values.
The Trustee confirm that it has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
The strategy adopted to meet the objective of the Charity in delivering public benefit includes providing 30 bungalows, housing 33 people, a chapel, a common room and a Chaplain & Almshouse Manager and a Lodgekeeper, who live at the College, to support the residents. The strategy also includes the Trustee charging Collegians maintenance contributions for the use of their accommodation at below market rental rates and instigating a scheme of refurbishment of almshouse accommodation in order to continue to provide comfortable and reasonably priced accommodation.
In addition, the Charity allows its facilities to be used by local community groups and other organisations when permitted by Health and Safety and other Regulations.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Review of activities**
Morning and evening prayer takes place in the Chapel each weekday. Communion Services are held in the Chapel each Sunday and Wednesday morning. There were special services at Christmas, at Harvest, on Remembrance Sunday, for the World Day of Prayer and in Lent. The Bishop of Rochester, Jonathan Gibbs, came in October to bless and dedicate the Memorial Book.
All chapel services are well attended, with Collegians doing the bible readings. Flowers are arranged at services by a Collegian which are paid for from donations made by Collegians. The organ is played by one of the Collegians and hymns are sung at all Communion Services and at Friday evening prayer. One of retired Collegian took services when the Chaplain was on annual leave.
Services are followed by refreshments in the College Room, with cakes regularly provided by Collegians on or around the date of their birthdays. Collections at services have been donated to local and national charities and to a Christian charity in Ukraine. The Chapel collections also funded the Memorial Book and an Easter Candle Stand. Advent and Lent courses were held with up to 10 Collegians attending. A weekly bible study has been held, led by one of the Collegians.
The College Room is used every day during the year. There are weekly card game afternoons and a monthly film night. Monthly Fishy Friday is very popular. One of the Collegians organised a quiz night and two bingo nights were held, these all raising funds for the Ellenor Hospice.
A Coffee Morning was held for MacMillan in September and a Christmas Fair raised funds for the North Kent College`s work with supporting young people with disabilities towards independence.
Residents and staff enjoyed a sit-down Christmas lunch in the College Room and there was an outing to the Pantomime at the Woodville. Pancakes were served on Shrove Tuesday. The summer seaside coach outing was to Deal. Events were organised by a social committee which was co-ordinated by the Chaplain’s wife.

## **Huggens’s College**
## **Trustee report (continued) for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
Together we helped some Collegians to celebrate their wedding in December, celebrate their Golden Wedding in January and one to celebrate her 80[th] birthday in March.
The Church Times, Kent Messenger and Saturday Telegraph are provided for the College Room.
## **b. Investment policy and performance**
The Charity holds a diversified portfolio of investments which made modest progress in value during the year.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustee has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The Trustee has reviewed the reserves of the Charity. This review encompassed the nature of the major income and expenditure streams and the need to match income and expenditure. The Charity’s principal source of funds is from maintenance contributions from Collegians and investments.
As a result of this review, the Trustee confirmed that, to enable the Charity to continue to meet its objectives, to operate efficiently and to provide a buffer for both planned and unexpected costs in respect of the Charity property, the aim is to have unrestricted general reserve of two years total General Fund expenditure. A designated maintenance fund should be maintained at no more than the equivalent of five times the Almshouse Association's recommended annual transfer to a Cyclical Maintenance Fund within Greater London.
Total funds held by the charity as at 31 March 2025 were £13,091,349 of which £13,017,434 was unrestricted. General reserves amounted to £588,245. Two years General Fund expenditure is £580,693 (2025£232,129;2024-£348,564; see Note 17, pages 30 and 31) therefore, the current level of reserves exceed by £7,552 that required to meet the Trustee’s policy target. After allowing for funds tied up in designated funds, and excluding the amount held as tangible fixed assets gave free reserves of £584,309.
## **c. Financial review**
The net expenditure for the period, before net gains/(losses) on investments amounted to £51,634 (2024: net income of £96,034).
Included in the total expenditure total of £308,172 there was an exceptional expenditure item of £76,043 relating to cyclical maintenance repairs.
At the period end the overall market value of the investments increased during the period resulting in a net gain of £44,248 (2024: Gain of £171,018).
The total fund balances at 31 March 2025, amounted to £13,091,349 (2024: £13,098,736).
The value of Land and buildings which were professionally revalued at 31 March 2023 in accordance with Accounting Policy 3 still stands at £7,360,000. There were major refurbishment costs of £38,400 relating to three bungalows which were capitalised to add to the value of the Land and Buildings.

## **Huggens’s College**
## **for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## **d. Principal funding**
The Charity continues to be reliant upon the maintenance charges it receives as well as income generated from its investments and cash deposits.
## **e. Material investments policy**
The Charity holds a diversified portfolio of investments which are managed by external fund managers. The value of portfolio investments made modest progress during the period.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Huggens's College was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1847 and is registered as a Charity with the Charity Commissioners in England and Wales with registration number 210336.
A limited company, the Huggens’s College Trustee Limited was incorporated on 14 October 2022 and appointed by a Charity Commission Scheme from 01 July 2024 to administer the Charity. The directors of the company comprise the board which leads the charity and sets the charity’s strategy.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Directors**
The management of the Charity and the appointment of Directors is the responsibility of the Trustee. Directors are appointed under the terms of the Rules, Regulations and Scheme of the Charity.
Huggens’s College Trustee Limited assumed the same responsibilities of Trusteeship from 1 July 2024.
## **c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Directors**
New Directors are inducted into the workings of the Charity, including policies and procedures, via the Charity and Finance Manager with an induction briefing and discussion with existing Directors.
In addition, a new Director shadows an existing Director on a monthly Charity visit.
## **d. Pay policy for senior staff**
## _Introduction_
This policy sets out the principles upon which the Trustee of Huggens’s College makes decisions about staff salaries.
## _Principles_
The following pay principles are applied:
- salaries will be reviewed annually and benchmarked, when necessary, against suitable employers;
- • salaries must be affordable given the financial performance of the Charity.
**6 |** P a g e
## **Huggens’s College**
## **Trustee report (continued) for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## _Policy Statement_
Huggens’s College seeks to ensure that its remuneration policy and practices are compatible with effective risk management. This is done by embedding the following principles into its Pay Policy:
- remuneration is compatible with the risk management and risk tolerance of the Charity;
- remuneration supports the Charity’s strategy, objectives, values and long-term interests;
- employees in control functions have appropriate authority and are remunerated adequately in
- accordance to their functions; and
- the Finance Committee, on behalf of the Trustee, approves and reviews annually the general principles
- of the remuneration policy.
This policy aims to attract and retain people with the right mix of skills and experience who share the Charity’s values and are prepared to work together as a team.
## _Scope_
This policy applies to all employees of Huggens’s College. It is owned by the Trustee. Its content and any amendments are subject to approval by the Trustee. The policy will be reviewed annually by the Finance Committee.
## _Benchmarking_
Huggens’s College needs to be able to attract and retain suitable individuals. The need for appropriate levels of remuneration must be taken into account and will be a significant factor for some candidates. A job evaluation scheme would be disproportionate to the size of Huggens’s College. Therefore, should the need for benchmarking occur Huggens’s College will take into account pay across charities and not for profit organisations in the Kent/Sussex area. It will aim to benchmark its salaries at the median after making allowance for other benefits that are included within a role such as the provision of living accommodation.
## _Salary process and recommendations for salary awards_
The Trustee maintains oversight and control over Huggens’s College’s salaries to ensure pay levels remain appropriate.
The approach adopted comprises:
- A recommendation on whether to make an annual pay increase will be made by the Finance Committee when it considers the next financial year’s estimates and the performance of an employee. That recommendation will then be considered at the January Trustee Meeting.
- Different levels of increase may be awarded to different staff if felt appropriate by the Trustee.
- Responsibility for overseeing the salary budget rests with the President who will notify the Charity and Finance Manager, in writing of the individual increases.
- Employees will receive written notification of any salary awards made to them.
Anyone who is subject to formal action arising from poor performance or conduct will not receive a pay increase until their performance is deemed satisfactory by their line manager.

- first and last year of employment and as appropriate for part time staff.
- For employees, who have successfully completed their probation, who are absent through ill health

The Trustee has given the Chaplain and Almshouse Manager the authority to act on their behalf, to oversee the spiritual and physical welfare of the Collegians, together with the security of the College.
The Charity and Finance Manager acts as financial controller of the Charity under the guidance of the Finance Committee of the Charity and also acts as the Company Secretary.
## **f. Risk management**
The Trustee continues to assess the risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to its operations and finances, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate their exposure to the major risks. The Trustee maintain a Risk Register that is monitored on a regular basis and reviewed annually.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Charity’s properties and the grounds on the site will continue to be well maintained for the benefit of the Collegians.
Throughout this period the Trustee in consultation with Collegians and with assistance from appointed development partners have continued to work on a scheme to redevelop the site. The planning application has been submitted to Gravesham Borough Council and is awaiting determination as well as the application to be a Registered Provider with the Regulator of Social Housing. The Directors will then consider the way forward.

## **Huggens’s College**
## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Huggens’s College**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Huggens’s College (the ‘charity’) for the period ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
**10 |** P a g e
## **Huggens’s College**
## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Huggens’s College**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
## _Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud_
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks.
Based on our understanding of the charity and the charitable sector generally, and through discussion with the trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non- compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, GDPR and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charity SORP 2019 and other charity legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated Trustees' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related to fraudulently or erroneously amending income and expenditure levels. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
**11 |** P a g e
## **Huggens’s College**
## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of Huggens’s College**
- Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud; and
- Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
- Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and
- Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
- Review of significant and unusual transactions; and
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year-end for financial statement preparation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of a ccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

**Huggens’s College**
## **Notes to the financial statements for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. General information**
Huggens’s College is a registered charity in England. The charity's registered address is: Huggens’s College Trustee Limited, The Chaplain’s House, Huggens’s College, College Road, Northfleet, Kent. DA11 9DL
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Huggens’s College meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **2.2 Going concern**
The Trustee assesses whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e., whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustee makes this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and has concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus it continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.3 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 costs 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.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **2.4 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
## **2.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Land and buildings are stated at valuation. Professional external valuations are obtained at least every 5 years. No depreciation is included on land.
The Trustee consider that the Charity’s property has a residual value which is at least equal to its net book value. As a result, the corresponding depreciation would not be material and therefore is not charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and machinery - 5 to 10 years straight line basis
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
## **2.7 Investments**
Investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value as at the Balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
## **2.8 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **2.9 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.10 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **2.11 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received in advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

**Huggens’s College**
## **Notes to the financial statements for the fifteen months period ended 30 June 2024**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.12 Financial instruments**
The Charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment**
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustee to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that can affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, and the results for the period. The nature of estimation is such though that actual outcomes could differ significantly from those estimates.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
## **Freehold property**
The Charity has recognised freehold property with a carrying value of £7,398,400 at 31 March 2025 (see note 12). These assets are stated at their cost/valuation. The Trustee consider that the Charity’s property has a residual value which is at least equal to its net book value. As a result, the corresponding depreciation would not be material and therefore is not charged in the Statement of Financial Activities. These estimates are based upon such factors as the expected use of the acquired asset and market conditions. At subsequent reporting dates the Trustee consider whether there are any factors such as changes in market conditions that indicate a need to reconsider the estimates used.
## **Assets in the Course of Construction**
Clause 10.26 of the SORP (FRS102) – Oct 2019 specifically permits charities to adopt an accounting policy of capitalising borrowing costs, including interest that is directly attributable to the development of a tangible fixed asset. Among other clauses it allows the following:
component of the cost in bringing the fixed asset into use. Until such time as the asset is brought into use it will be classified as an asset in the course of construction” in the statutory accounts.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the nine months period ended 31 March 2025**
## **Transfers between funds**
Designated property fund – The transfer of £38,400 (2024: £Nil) from the general funds represents the College Property additions in the year.
Designated maintenance fund-The net transfer of £2,415 from the general funds represents the net movement in the recommendations of the Almshouse Association to ensure the fund totals the equivalent of five times the Association’s recommended annual transfer.
Designated Capital Projects Fund – The net transfer of £1,600 represents the decision to build the capital projects fund from the free reserves available after setting off the £40,000 transferred to the Capital Projects Fund against the £38,400 relating to refurbishment expenditure which have now been capitalised as these were additions to property.
## **Purpose of funds**
## **Designated Fund Property fund**
The designated property fund is represented by the book value of the Charity’s property less the value of the endowment fund.
## **Designated Fund Capital projects**
This designated fund has been established to provide for capital improvements to the Charity’s property including, but not limited to, acquisitions, major refurbishment of existing buildings and construction of new buildings.
## **Designated Fund Maintenance fund**
This designated fund has been established to provide for cyclical maintenance of the Charity’s property, other than capital improvements. The Trustee has considered the recommendations of the Almshouse Association and have decided that it should be maintained at no more than the equivalent of five times the Association’s recommended annual transfer to a Cyclical Maintenance Fund within Greater London.
## **Designated Fund Hardship**
This designated fund has been established in order to assist the collegians in the event of hardship with the purchase of significant items, such as replacement of appliances. It is the Charity’s intention to ensure a transfer is made to the fund to give a carrying value of £10,000.
## **Endowment Fund**
The endowment fund represents the original historic cost of the Charity’s property which is held for the benefit of the Charity.
## **Restricted Fund**
There were no restricted funds as all funds relating to the M&G Charity Multi Asset Fund were transferred to the Designated Capital Projects Fund.
