THE HONYWOOD AND DOUGLAS CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Principal activities
The Charity's governing document is a scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 5 July 1996. This merged the separate Honywood and Douglas charities to be administered and managed together as one charity (registration number 211272). The Honywood and Douglas charities were originally founded in 1622 and 1858 respectively.
The Almshouses belonging to the Charity are used for the accommodation of residents of not less than 60 years of age who, except in special cases approved by the Charity Commissioners, have lived in the ancient Parish of Lenham or the Parish of Boughton Malherbe for at least two years. Appointments of residents are made by the trustees.
The trustees maintain an Extraordinary Repair Fund for the purpose of providing for the extraordinary repair, improvement or rebuilding of the Almshouses. The fund is invested in Accumulation Shares in the M&G Charity Multi Asset fund.
Having constructed almshouses on all the land which it previously owned, a further property was acquired in December 2019, and conversion work, which had been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, was completed in 2022 to provide a further three almshouses. This brought the total residential units provided by the charity to 29, all of which were let at the year end.
Public benefit
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's published guidance on public benefit.
Trustees
The board of trustees usually consists of one ex-officio trustee, four nominated trustees and seven co-opted trustees. Two nominated trustees are appointed by the Parish Council of Lenham and two by the Parish Council of Boughton Malherbe, for a period of four years. Co-opted trustees are appointed by resolution of the trustees for a term of five years.
The trustees who served during the year are detailed on the information page.
The trustees meet regularly, and at least four times a year, to attend to the charity's affairs. Decisions are taken based on a majority of the votes and, in the event of equality of votes, the chairman has a casting vote.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Page 1
THE HONYWOOD AND DOUGLAS CHARITY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Management of the charity's affairs and risk
The trustees appointed have local knowledge and are therefore generally aware of the charity's aims and housing stock. New trustees are provided with a copy of the charity's Trust Deed, the latest accounts and details of the obligations of the residents and the trustees.
The day to day management of the charity is delegated to the Treasurer, Mr WJ Collins, under consultation with the Board of Trustees. The overseeing of the ongoing repair of the charity's properties has been delegated to a local maintenance co-ordinator in consultation with the trustees.
The trustees consider that the major risks to which the charity is exposed are the preservation of the properties, the need to comply with relevant legal and regulatory obligations and the need to ensure that all financial transactions are properly recorded. They have therefore put the following systems into place :
(a) the buildings insurance is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate and regular safety checks on fire equipment and gas appliances in the properties are undertaken. The general state of repair of the properties is reviewed by the Board of Trustees;
(b) Mr WJ Collins ensures that he remains up to date with the requirements of the Regulator of Social Housing, the Charities Commission and the National Association of Almshouses and draws any relevant information to the attention of the trustees.
(c) the charity's total income from maintenance contributions is reconciled annually and all major expenditure requires prior approval at a meeting of the trustees.
The trustees consider that the above measures enable them to meet the Value for Money and the Governance and Financial Viability Standards.
MARKET VALUE OF LAND AND BUILDINGS
The trustees consider that the market value of freehold land and buildings is in excess of the amount shown in the financial statements but, as these assets are used in the charity's activities and no disposals are envisaged, the excess has not been quantified.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law and registered social housing legislation requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these 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 applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Extraordinary repair fund
The extraordinary repair fund is maintained for the purpose of providing for the extraordinary repair or rebuilding of the Almshouses.
2.6 Investments
Investments are carried at market value or, where this is not readily available, at the Trustees' estimate of market value. Investments held for the long term are included in fixed assets. Investments held as part of short term treasury management are included in current assets.
2.7 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 the statement of comprehensive income in other administrative expenses.
2.8 Grants
Grants towards capital expenditure are deducted from the cost of the asset.
2.9 Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are considered to be basic financial instruments and, as such, are measured at amortised cost.
2.10 Cyclical repairs and maintenance
Due to the establishment of a regular programme of repair and maintenance, provision for future works is not made and actual costs are charged to the income and expenditure account when incurred.
2.11 Major repairs
Provisions are made for future major repair costs on all housing properties, in so far as this is not eligible for grants from the Homes and Community Agency or local authorities. Provisions are only recognised to the extent that they represent a present obligation as a result of a past event, a payment is likely to be made and a reliable estimate can be made.
2.12 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
No significant judgements have had to be made by the trustees in preparing these financial statements, nor have they identified any key sources of estimation uncertainty.
2.13 Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
