Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity 


## Objectives and activities 

Charity on 20 August 2021. All assets, liabilities and reserves of the various charities were transferred to Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity and these accounts show performance for the current and prior year as a combined charity. The 2020/21 figures have been fully restated. 

The objective of the Charity is to provide rented accommodation to necessitous persons. All activity is carried out in support of this objective. 

The Charity increased the number of housing properties owned during 2021-2022 from 144 to 148 units following the transfer of William Crane Trust and Nottingham Annuity Charity into the Charity. No gross maintenance contributions receivable were generated from one property at William Woodsend Memorial Homes where the tenants are allowed to reside without making maintenance contributions. The remaining 147 properties provided gross maintenance contributions of £662,757 (restated 2021 - £644,078) at a weekly contribution of between £45.00 and £109.14 per property. Void losses of £18,085 (restated 2021 - £5,015) were incurred during the year. 

## Public benefit disclosure 

The Charities Act 2011 identifies two key principles of public benefit namely there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits and the benefit must be to the public or to a section of the public. 

The Trustee, in the aims and objectives of the Charity and in the oversight of the Charity’s operations, has had regard to and believes that it meets with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Trustee defines the public benefit of the Charity as being the provision of social rented accommodation to necessitous persons in the East Midlands. 

## Financial review 

## Achievements and performance 

There was a surplus for the year of £9,268 (restated 2021 - £222,003). 

The Statement of Financial Position of the Charity is strong, with unrestricted general fund reserves of £2,888,316 (restated 2021 - £2,879,048). 

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity was formed on 1 April 2008 by combining seven individual charities into one Charity.  Nottingham Almshouse Charity, Ada Mary Best Homes, Lambley Almshouses, Henry Brown Homes & Julien Cahn Homes were subsequently added into the Charity. During 2019/20 two further Charities were added, Warner’s Almshouses on 1 June 2019 and Harworth Miners Bungalows on 20 December 2019. During 2021/22 an additional two Charities were added, William Crane Trust on 1 April 2021 and Nottingham Annuity

Report of the Trustee 

## Statement of compliance 

The Trustee confirms this Report of the Trustee has been prepared in accordance with the principles set out in the 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 (FRS102). 

## Identification and evaluation of key risks 

The Trustee confirms that there is a long-term ongoing review process for identifying and managing significant risks faced by NCAC covering the period up to the annual report. Management responsibility has been clearly defined for the identification, evaluation and control of significant risks. There is a formal and ongoing process of management review in each area of NCAC’s activities. The Executive team regularly considers and receives reports on significant risks facing NCAC and the Chief Executive is responsible for reporting to the Trustee any significant changes affecting key risks. All Trustee reports include a section detailing the risks arising or identified as a result of any information or recommendations included in the report. 

In meeting its responsibilities, the Trustee has adopted a risk-based approach to internal controls which are embedded within the normal management and governance processes. This approach includes the regular evaluation of the nature and extent of risks to which the organisation is exposed. The Compliance and Risk Panel and our Trustee have continued to work together to assess the quantification of our risk appetite and have produced the following Risk Appetite statement: 

“The Trustee recognises that the NCAC’s activities involve risk and the taking of appropriately identified, evaluated and controlled risks in pursuit of business objectives is acceptable, particularly in pursuing business opportunities for the benefit of NCAC and its customers.” 

The risk based approach is consistent with best practice across the sector. 

The process adopted by the Trustee in reviewing the effectiveness of the system of internal control, together with some of the key elements of the control framework, includes: 

- The annual review of the Risk Management Strategy and Framework, and biannual review of strategic risk maps is an ongoing process for identifying and managing significant risks faced by the organisation. This process has been in place throughout the year under review, up to the date of the Annual Report and Accounts, and is regularly reviewed by the Trustee. 

- In addition, the Compliance and Risk Panel annually sets a plan to demonstrate to the Executive team, Audit and Risk Committee and Trustee how it intends to deliver its risk management objectives during the year. 

- The NCHA Group and the NCAC Trustee approved a new Risk Management Framework in 2021, which replaced our existing risk management procedure and ensured that our risk management processes are consistent with the National Housing Code of Governance, which is adopted by NCHA. We will review this Framework in 2022/23 alongside the newly published National Housing Federation Risk and Assurance Guide. In addition, an Internal Audit review and sector benchmark of our risk management activity was scheduled to take place in Q1 2022/23.

## NCAC strategic risks 

Our strategic risk map, reviewed biannually by the Trustee, addresses the risks associated with the following objectives, as outlined within our Group Corporate Plan: 

- Failure to comply with charity law, Charity Commission policies and procedures and the rules set out in the Charity’s governing document. 

- Failure to remain viable by not meeting budgetary targets. 

## Plans for future periods 

**In future periods the Charity intends to continue to provide current activities in support of the Charity’s objectives.** 

## Post balance sheet events 

## Structure, governance and management 

The Charity is governed by a Charity Commission scheme. 

Nottingham Community Housing Association Limited (NCHA) is the Sole Corporate Trustee of the Charity. Sylvia Gough is the Clerk to the Trustee. The day to day management and activities of the Charity are carried out by employees of NCHA. 

## Reserves policy 

It is the policy of the Charity not to designate any of its reserves for any specific purpose, other than the required Social Housing Grant Reserve. Targets are set by the Trustee as part of the budgeting process. In the event of a shortfall the Trustee considers plans to make good where appropriate. Similarly, where an excess is achieved the Trustee considers plans on how best to utilise this. 

The Charity Commission defines free reserves as total unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets for charity use less amounts designated for essential future spending. On this basis the Charity has free reserves of £398,272 (restated 2021 - £431,599). 

We consider that there have been no events since the financial year end which have a material effect on the financial position of the Charity.

Report of the Trustee 

## Investments 

Control of investments is placed with NCHA’s Director of Finance and Resources and Chief Executive. The value of investments will be dictated by the business cash flow requirements and proposed development plans. The exact amount of investments will vary from time to time and will be kept available to meet all liquidity requirements. 

The Charity will maintain a list of institutions with whom it will invest. 

The Director of Finance and Resources will liaise with external consultants to receive regular updates on the credit standing of the preferred list and will be authorised to add or remove firms as seen fit. 

When significant funds are available to invest (typically greater than £5m) the Director of Finance and Resources will approach at least two of the preferred institutions to establish the best possible terms available. The funds will then be invested in accordance with the terms of this policy at the best rates available. 

In exceptional circumstances, where the Charity is holding large cash balances, the Director of Finance and Resources will seek to increase the diversity of investment counterparties through the use of Public Debt Constant Net Asset Value and Low Volatility Net Asset Value Money Market Funds and Deposit Funds. 

Investments held by the Trust are managed by M & G Securities Limited at PO Box 9038, Chelmsford, England CM99 2XF and CCLA Investment Management at Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4V 4ET. 

## Statement of Trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the accounts 

The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual 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 Trustee 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 Trustee is required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the 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) 

- 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 operation.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustee 

## **Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustee**

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity 


## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Reserves and the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## Basis for opinion 

We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 

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’s 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.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustee 

## Other information 

The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Trustee other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Report of the Trustee. 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. 

## Matters on which we are 

## required to report by exception 

- The information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Report of  the Trustee 

- Sufficient accounting records have not been kept 

- • The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit 

- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. 

## Responsibilities of Trustees 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out on pages 8-9, the Trustee is 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 Trustee determines 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 Trustee is 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 Trustee either intends to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

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 auditor’s 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. 

## The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud 

Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit. 

assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. 

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud. 

## **In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:** 

- Obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory framework, that the Charity operates in and how the Charity is complying with the legal and regulatory framework 

- Inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud 

- Discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud. 

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustee 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued) 

As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Charities Act 2011, the parent charity’s governing document, tax legislation and Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016.We performed audit procedures to detect noncompliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents, inspecting correspondence local tax authorities and evaluating advice received from internal/external advisors 

The most significant laws and regulations that have an indirect impact on the financial statements are those in relation to the General Data Preotection 

Regulations and Health and Safety legislation. We performed audit procedures to inquire of management and those charged with governance whether the entity  is in compliance with these law and regulations and inspected correspondence with regulatory authorities 

The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the areawhere the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud.  Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business, challenging judgments and estimates . 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## Legal status 

The Charity is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales with the National Almshouse Association and the Charity Commission. The registered office is 12-14 Pelham Road, Nottingham, NG5 1AP. 




**25** 

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity 


## **1. Principal accounting policies** 

## (a) Basis of accounting 

The Charity’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 October 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The accounts are prepared on the historical cost basis of accounting except as modified by the revaluation of investments and are presented in rounded pounds sterling. 

In applying FRS 102 the Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity. 

## (b) Going concern 

The Charity’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes an ability to continue operating for the foreseeable future based on the levels of anticipated income, expenditure and the funds of the Charity. 

## (c) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the date of the Statement of Financial Position and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the financial year. However, the nature of estimation means that the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: 

- i. Categorisation of housing properties. The Charity has undertaken a detailed review of the intended use of all housing properties. In determining the intended use, the Charity has considered if the asset is held for social benefit or to earn commercial rentals. 

- ii. The Charity has reviewed the useful economic lives of its housing properties and depreciates the property cost, less freehold land and residual value, for all housing properties. 

Reviews for impairment of housing properties are carried out when a trigger has occurred and any impairment loss in a cash generating unit is recognised by a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities. Impairment is recognised where the carrying value of a cash generating unit exceeds the higher of its net realisable value or its value in use. The Charity has identified a cash generating unit for impairment assessment purposes at a property programme level. Following a trigger for impairment, the Charity performs impairment tests based on fair value less costs to sell or a value in use calculation. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction on similar cash generating units (properties) or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the properties. 



**26** 

Notes to the Financial Statements 

## **1. Principal accounting policies (continued)** 

## (c) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) 

The value in use calculation is based on either a depreciated replacement cost or a discounted cash flow model. The depreciated replacement cost is based on available data of the cost of constructing or based on either a depreciated replacement cost or a discounted cash flow model. The depreciated replacement cost is based on available data of the cost of constructing or acquiring replacement properties to provide the same level of service potential to the Charity as the existing property. The cash flows are derived from the business plan for the next 30 years and do not include restructuring activities that the Charity is not yet permitted to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash flows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. Following the assessment of impairment no impairment losses were identified in the reporting period. 

## (d) Turnover and revenue recognition 

Turnover represents maintenance contributions income receivable (less loss of maintenance contributions due to voids) and other charges receivable and other income and is recognised in relation to the period when the goods and services have been supplied. 

Maintenance contributions are recognised when the property is available for let, net of voids. 2021-2022 is a 52 rent week year. 2020-2021 was a 52 rent week year. 

## (e) Loan interest costs 

Loan interest costs are calculated using the effective interest method of the difference between the loan amount at initial recognition and amount of maturity of the related loan. 

## (f) Loan finance issue costs 

These are amortised evenly over the life of the related loan. Loans are stated in the Statement of Financial Position at the amount of net proceeds after issue, plus any increases to account for any subsequent amounts amortised. Where loans are redeemed in the year, any redemption penalty and any connected loan finance issue costs are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which the redemption took place. 

## (g) Provision for bad debts 

A provision for maintenance contributions debts becoming irrecoverable is made against 100% of former customer arrears and 50% of current customer arrears for all customers more than six weeks in arrears. 



**27** 

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity 

## **1. Principal accounting policies (continued)** 

## (h) Corporation Taxation 

The Association has charitable status and is exempt from UK Corporation Tax under section 531 of the Income Tax Act 2007. 

## (i) Value Added Tax 

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity is not registered for value added tax. In these financial statements, where applicable, expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT. 

## (j) Housing properties, depreciation and impairment 

## Social housing 

The Charity has reviewed the useful economic lives of its housing properties and depreciates the property cost, less freehold land and residual value, for all housing properties other than those held on an investment basis. Housing properties were merged on the basis of historic cost. 

## Future estimated lives have been determined as follows: 

|New build houses|100 years|
|---|---|
|New build fats and rehabilitated houses|75 years|
|Rehabilitated fats|60 years|



Where a housing property consists of two or more major components with substantially different useful economic lives, each component is accounted for separately and depreciated over its useful economic life. Expenditure relating to the subsequent replacement or renewal of components is capitalised as incurred. 

Depreciation is charged in equal annual instalments over the assets expected useful economic lives. The useful economic lives for the identified components are as follows: 

|The useful economic lives for the identifed components|are as follows:|
|---|---|
|Freehold land|Not depreciated|
|Structure: new build houses|100 years|
|Structure: new build fats and rehabilitated houses|75 years|
|Structure: rehabilitated fats|60 years|
|Roof|50 years|
|Lifts|50 years|
|Windows and doors|40 years|
|Alternative energy systems|25 years|
|Bathroom|25 years|
|Kitchen|20 years|
|Heating system|20 years|
|Disabled adaptions|20 years|

Notes to the Financial Statements 

## **1. Principal accounting policies (continued)** 

## (k) Other fixed assets 

All other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all non-housing property fixed assets, to write off the cost less estimated residual value over their useful economic lives on the following methods: 

Other fixed assets 

Equal annual instalments 10 years 

The useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually. 

## (l) Fixed asset investments 

The Charity holds fixed asset investments. These are shown at full market valuation at each balance sheet date. Any gains and losses on re-measurement are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities for the period. 

## (m) Short-term debtors and creditors 

Debtors and creditors without any stated interest terms which are receivable or payable within one year are recorded at the transaction price. Should any losses be incurred as a result of impairment, these would be immediately recognised as other operating expenses in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## (n) Social Housing Grants 

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), grants received from government have been treated as income and added to reserves. The fund is held separately from unrestricted reserves reflecting the possibility of a repayment demand in certain circumstances from the Regulator of Social Housing. 

## (o) Financial instruments 

The Charity holds fixed assets investments, short term debtors and creditors, loans and cash as financial instruments. The method of measurement for fixed assets investments and short term debtors and creditors are detailed above. Loans are held at contractual value. Cash is held at current value.
