THE ALEXANDRA HOMES
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 (CONT)
The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30[th] September 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.
Constitution
The Alexandra Homes were founded in 1865 to commemorate the arrival off Margate of Princess Alexandra of Denmark in March 1863, shortly before her marriage to Edward, Prince of Wales. The homes are governed by a Deed of Settlement and are registered as a charity No. 211760.
Principal office
The Alexandra Homes, Tivoli Road, Margate, Kent CT9 5SG.
The names and addresses of other relevant organisations and individuals are shown on page 1.
Organisation
The names of the Trustees who have served during the year, other office holders and advisers of the Homes are as stated on page 1 of the annual accounts. Trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees and serve for three years after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Trustees meet monthly and as required, sub-committees are formed which report to the full board of Trustees. The Homes are particularly fortunate in having a dedicated team who undertake the day to day running of the charity, who are the Secretary/Treasurer, the Warden and one relief Warden. In addition, the Trustees represent a wide spectrum of abilities both professional and pastoral and are called upon regularly to give of their expertise.
Relationships with related organisations
The Trustees encourage close liaison with Orbit South Housing Association, Social Services, The Local Authority, The Almshouse Association and other similar organisations.
Objects
The objects of the Homes are to provide secure and inexpensive accommodation for the benefit of the elderly, worthy residents of Margate, and to provide for them a caring and happy environment in which to live.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Homes’ aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Activities of the charity
The Trustees have adopted an ongoing policy for repair and refurbishment of the residential accommodation particularly having regard to the age and design of the properties. Residential units are being upgraded in accordance with current standards and conditions and the Trustees are mindful of their responsibilities in ensuring the well-being and security of the residents. Several properties have been fully refurbished throughout the year as they became vacant. The Quinquennial Inspection was carried out in 2022 and works are underway as recommended in the report. Works this year have included repointing, window replacement and roof repairs. The large communal garden was refurbished to create a better space for residents to meet and enjoy being outside when the weather allows. A smaller patio area was lifted and re-laid to make it level.
The Residents’ Lounge has continued to see good usage. The residents have enjoyed regular coffee mornings, film afternoons and bingo evenings. Children from a local school came to lead carol singing with the residents and are keen to come again. There have been two well attended Afternoon Tea parties organised by a group of residents to raise money for charity. Christmas lunch at a local restaurant was well attended with over 90% of residents joining the staff, and it was possible to offer a subsidised meal to residents due to a generous donation. Plans are now being made for various Christmas activities including Christmas Carols with St Gregory’s School choir, lunch and a party.
Following the retirement of the Deputy Warden in April 2024 and the resignation of the Warden in June 2024, a new way of

providing a Warden service to the residents is being trialled. Austen Allen Homecare provide cover for three hours per day on three mornings during the week. It is still early days, but the arrangement seems to be working well.
Financial review and investment policy
The principal income of the charity is from maintenance contributions from the residents, supplemented by investment income, rent received from a property investment, and voluntary donations. The trustees consider that generally the charity’s incoming and outgoing resources are well structured and suitable to ensure the continued successful running of the homes.
The Trustees maintain a wide range of investments on the stock market and endeavour to maintain a policy of approximately 40% - 45% in fixed interest with the balance in equities.
The investments are regularly reviewed by the stockbrokers, and they assure us of the quality of the investments held. The portfolio was transferred from Rathbones to Quilter Cheviot in February 2024 under discretionary management. A representative of the Investment Company regularly joins Board meetings to discuss the portfolio.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves (excluding investments) of the Charity, at a level that equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs.
Risk Management
The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, particularly those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
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.
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024 which are set out on pages 5-18
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of the Alexandra Homes you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Alexanda Homes accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Alexandra Homes as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Barker Trust was founded by Will and Codicils of William Barker proved in February 1877. The income of the Trust is to be applied first in lighting with gas the lamp placed by the Testator in the Alexandra Homes. Secondly in supplying in the months of April and October in every year to everyone in the Homes a half chaldron of coke to be broken and delivered to the residents and then to pay and apply in money the annual income of the Trust among the residents of the Alexandra Homes in such proportion as the Vicar of St John the Baptist, Margate and the Trustees of the Homes might think best.
In previous years the committee designated some funds towards an Appeal Fund in respect of the modernisation of the property.
