TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and they and the annual report comply with the Charity’s governing instrument and applicable law.

Objectives and activities

a. Objectives and activities

The Scheme provides that, subject to the payment of

The Trustees shall apply any residual income in furthering the religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the City of Bristol with particular regard to the needs of the ecclesiastical parishes of Christ Church with St George Bristol and St Stephen with St James and St John the Baptist Bristol.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Policies and objectives

Within the objects of the Charity, the policy of the Trustees is:

a) to provide a safe, secure and comfortable home for the Almshouse residents;

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

c. Investment policy

The Trustees may invest the assets of the Charity in such investments as are authorised by the Trustee Act 2000, subject to the restrictions and conditions contained in that Act. The Charity’s investments consist mainly of three investment properties details of which are set out in note 14, and two CBF and two M&G Funds details of which are set out in note 17.

The Funds aim at steady income and capital appreciation to provide long-term protection from inflation, whilst adopting an appropriate ethical investment policy. These objectives are reviewed annually. The money in the CBF Funds is available at short notice and with minimal risk of capital loss. Accounts in all the Funds obtain a rate of interest close to money market rates.

d. Reserves policy

Annual provision is made for ongoing repairs to the Almshouse in accordance with guidance from The Almshouse Association.

The accumulated surplus of unrestricted funds is held for further calls on the resources of the Charity in relation to the Almshouse and the Glebe House and also for contributions to the repair and upkeep of All Saints Church and its historical contents.

The Trustees regularly review the reserves position in the light of the Charity’s commitments, both existing and anticipated.

At the year end the Charity held endowment funds of £2,168,035 (2022: £2,122,143) and unrestricted funds of £284,771 (2022: £589,766).

e. Grant-making policies

Grants are made in accordance with the scheme.

Page 3

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The Trustees aim to have the Almshouse fully occupied.

The grants made in the year are set out in Note 7. These include grants made to residents.

The large expenditure in the year has occurred from the costs of the charity seeking to put together a planning application for the redevelopment of the Almshouse into a larger unit, and has been spent on all the necessary reports and drawing to be able to submit a full planning application, which the charity have done and are awaiting the outcome of now.

Financial review

a. Financial performance

Total income for the year amounted to £148,405 (2022: £157,622), and total expenditure amounted to £475,506 (2022: £153,158), leaving a net deficit, before revaluations and investment gains, of £327,101 (2022: surplus of £4,464). Revaluation and investment gains amounted to £67,998 (2022: losses of £82,013).

b. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The accounting policies upon which they have been prepared are set out in note 2.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Charity (charity registration number 214713) is governed by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 11 August 1978 as amended by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 15 December 1987 and a Resolution passed on 12 January 2016 (“the Scheme”).

By a Charity Commission Registration Certificate dated 8 January 2001 the Trustees of the Charity were registered by the name of the Trustees of All Saints Church Lands Charity.

Page 4

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Structure, governance and management (continued)

b. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The Scheme provides for the Trustees of the Charity to consist of eight competent persons, two Nominated Trustees and six Co-opted Trustees. The two Nominated Trustees are appointed by the Parochial Church Council of the ecclesiastical parish of Christ Church with St Ewen All Saints and St George Bristol, each for a term of four years. The six Co-opted Trustees are persons who through residence, occupation, employment or otherwise have special knowledge of the City of Bristol, and are each appointed for a term of five years by a resolution of the Trustees passed at a special meeting.

The Trustees and the Clerk named on page 1 have served throughout the year and since the year end.

All new Trustees meet with the Clerk and are provided with a pack including copies of the three documents comprising the Scheme, a list of the current Trustees, a copy of the latest accounts, and the Charity Commission’s booklet entitled The Essential Trustee: what you need to know.

The Trustees meet at least four times a year. All major decisions are made by the Trustees and are carried out on a day-to-day basis by the Clerk.

The Trustees all give of their time freely. No remuneration or expenses were paid by the Charity to any of the Trustees during the year.

c. Public benefit

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, and they have referred to it when reviewing policy, making grants and filling vacancies in the Almshouse. The Trustees have within the provisions of the Scheme sought to ensure that details of any vacancies in the Almshouse are made known through the local press and the local Church of England clergy.

d. Risk management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic operational risks which the Charity may face, and they have established systems which enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to minimise these risks. These risks have been summarised in the annual risk assessment and management strategy document and include risks in relation to asset management, property management, reputational risks, operational statutory and legal risks, governance risks and COVID risks.

e. Relationships with other charities

The Clerk is employed by the Charity, but also works for Bristol Archdeaconry Charity. The costs of the Clerk's employment are shared on a percentage basis agreed by the Trustees of both charities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of All Saints Church Lands Charity ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable 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.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. General information

All Saints Church Lands Charity is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, registered number 214713. Its registered office is 1 All Saints Court, Bristol, BS1 1JN.

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) , 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.

All Saints Church Lands Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The presentation currency is sterling and the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The comparative information relates to the year ended 31 December 2022.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees are confident that they can manage expenditure to align with the income generated from investment returns. As a result, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.3 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.

Rental income, income tax recoverable, insurance recharged to tenants and contributions from Almshouse residents are accounted for when they become due.

Grants receivable, dividends, interest and income on insurance claims are accounted for when funds are receivable.

Page 11

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

Investment management costs relate to those costs incurred in respect of rental properties owned by the charity.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Charitable costs include grants made and costs incurred in respect of All Saints House.

2.5 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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Taxation

The charity is a registered charity and as such is not liable to taxation on the net income from its charitable activities.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Page 12

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All Saints House was valued by Alder King on 31 December 2010 on an open market value basis. This property is used as Almshouses in the furtherance of the Charity’s objectives. The property is depreciated at 2% on the revalued amount per annum.

1 All Saints Court was valued by Alder King on 31 December 2010 on an open market value basis. Due to the restrictive user clause in the long lease the property has reduced value in the open market.

The fixtures and fittings installed at All Saints House have been included in the accounts at cost less a provision for depreciation of 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis.

Much of the office equipment installed in All Saints Court has been fully depreciated and has therefore not been included in the accounts. All recent additions have been included at cost and an appropriate provision made for depreciation of 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis.

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in government stocks and charity investment funds are held in the name of the Trustees body corporate wherever possible. These are stated at market value at 31 December.

Investments are also held in The Central Board of Finance Church of England Deposit Fund Capital Wider Account. These are also stated at market value at 31 December.

Investment properties were valued by Alder King on 31 December 2018 on an open market basis. The Trustees are not aware of any material changes since this valuation. The Trustees intend to obtain revaluations of the properties in the year ended 31 December 2024.

All income from the investment assets is available for use by the Trustees in the furtherance of the Charity’s objectives as they see fit.

All gains and losses on the investments of the Charity are retained within the fund to which they relate.

2.9 Debtors

Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount relating to future periods.

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.

Page 13

ALL SAINTS CHURCH LANDS CHARITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

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 the 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 as 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 the 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 in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

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.

2.13 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

The Endowment funds represent the endowed capital of the Charity, the income from which is to be used in the work of the Charity. The capital of the funds must be retained for the benefit of the Charity.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
