**31 DECEMBER 2021**
**Registered Charity Number 213004**
**The Great Baddow Parochial Charities.**
Annual Report of the Trustees for the year ending 31st December 2021
## **Constitution.**
The Great Baddow Parochial Charities, c/o. 70 Eastwood Park, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 8HF are registered with the Charity Commission (Reg. No. 213004) and constituted by Deed of Trust. They are part of the Almshouse Association (Reg. No. 605), and the Independent Housing Ombudsman Scheme (Reg. No. A2198).
## **Objectives.**
The objectives of the Charities as laid down in the Deeds of Trust are :- For the Relief of Need within the Parishes of Great Baddow and Galleywood. Provision of Almshouse Accommodation for elderly and needy residents. Assistance with funding for the provision of Sunday Schools within the Parishes of Great Baddow and Galleywood.
## **Public Benefit.**
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in carrying out the Charities’ activities during the year.
## **Trustees.**
- The Charities are administered by a committee of Trustees comprising: - Three Nominative Trustees who are nominated by the Great Baddow Parish Council and serve for a period of four years.
- One Co-optative Trustee who serves for a period of five years.
- One Ex- officio Trustee, who is for the time being a Team Vicar of the Parish of Great Baddow.
In addition to the above a Clerk is appointed to carry administrative tasks as determined by the Trustees.
List of Trustees for the year:Mr. J. Fuller, Chair (Co-optative Trustee, from September 2021) Mrs C. Beck (Nominative Trustee) Mrs A. Winder (Nominative Trustee, from September 2021) Mrs J. Pavey (Nominative Trustee) Vicar – Revd. P Sheldrake (Ex- officio Trustee) Dr. W.N. McLean, Chair (Co-optative Trustee, to June 2021)
The Clerk is Dr. W. N. McLean and can be contacted at the Charities’ address as above. In June 2021 the previous Clerk, Mr. G. Finch, retired and the Chairman was appointed as the new Clerk. Mr. J. Fuller was appointed as the new Chair in September 2021 and Mrs Winder appointed a new Trustee at the same meeting.
## **- During the year 2021:**
The Trustees met on four occasions for the routine administration of the Charities’ business, including the upkeep of ten almshouses. Charitable donations, derived from interest on investments, were made to the Vicars of Great Baddow and Galleywood for the Relief of the Needy of the Parishes and to the Sunday Schools. Each resident of the Almshouses was presented with Christmas Gifts.
There was one vacancy at the almshouse of Kinghams, and none at St Mary’s Court, during the year. For a variety of reasons, not least the ongoing covid pandemic, it did not prove possible to fill the vacancy and the flat remained unoccupied at the end of 2021.
Only routine maintenance occurred during the year which was kept deliberately quiet because of the ongoing COVID pandemic. This has also resulted in further delay to the quinquennial inspection, originally planned for 2020.
The annual Almshouse Association seminars, for updates in legislation and good practice, were cancelled due to the pandemic.
A review of the investments took place in November and at the same meeting Trustees agreed a budget for 2022 and an increase in maintenance contributions from almshouse residents. It was agreed that reserves should continue to be at a level of £15,000 per property in case of urgent or emergency repairs.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GREAT BADDOW PAROCHIAL CHARITIES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 1 and 2.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
