Waddington Hospital Trust TRUSTEES REPORT Year ended 31 December 2025

The Trustees are pleased to present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Trust was founded in 1680 by Robert Parker, who appointed Trustees in 1701. It was formally registered as a charity with the Charity Commission in 1885 and subsequently as a Housing Association and Registered Social Landlord.

The Trustees have the legal status of an unincorporated association.

The Trust is governed by a Trust Deed dated 4 August 1885.

Key decisions, including the appointment of new Trustees, are made at quarterly meetings held in March, June, September and December each year.

Day-to-day management is delegated to the Warden, Clerk and the land agents, John Pallister Chartered Surveyors. Matters may be referred to the Chairman of Trustees where necessary.

Objectives of the Charity and Strategic Aims

The Trust’s primary objective is to provide homes for the widows of dalesmen and farmers residing in Waddington and the seven surrounding parishes. The Founder established a strong Anglican ethos in the selection of beneficiaries; however, this has since been broadened to include individuals in communion with the Church of England, as well as spinsters and divorcees.

Priority is given to elderly applicants and those with relatives living locally. Where vacancies cannot be filled in accordance with the Founder’s wishes, the local authority may recommend suitable applicants from outside the catchment area.

Review of Developments, Activities and Achievements

The Trustees have continued their policy of preserving the permanent endowment and reinvesting in the maintenance and improvement of the Trust’s properties. In recent years, significant expenditure has been directed towards ensuring that the Trust’s properties remain in good condition.

The almshouses remained fully occupied for most of 2025, with no changes in tenancy. Additional repair costs related to general maintenance, annual safety inspections, and minor plumbing and joinery works.

Residents’ ages range from 65 to 93 years, with the longest current tenancy spanning 24 years.

Public Benefit

The entity is a public benefit entity. The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to all guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Future Plans

The future plans of the Trust continues to be that of the provision of almshouse accommodation.

Waddington Hospital Trust TRUSTEES REPORT Year ended 31 December 2025

Reserves Policy

The Trustees consider that free reserves (defined as unrestricted reserves less fixed assets) should be maintained at approximately £750,000. Their policy is to build reserves towards this target where annual operating surpluses allow.

At the year end, total funds held by the Trust amounted to £5,339,952 (2024: £5,274,939). Free reserves were £682,144 (2024: £594,294 as restated), as defined above.

The remuneration of key personnel is reviewed and determined annually by the Trustees at their December meeting. The Trustees consider key management personnel to be the Warden and Deputy Warden.

Risk Management

The Trustees are responsible for identifying and managing the risks faced by the Trust and review the risk management processes on a regular basis.

With the support of professional property and investment managers, the Trustees are satisfied that the principal risks have been adequately mitigated where possible. However, they recognise that systems of control can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that significant risks are appropriately managed.

At present, the Trustees do not consider there to be any significant financial risks facing the Trust.

Value for Money

The Trust is committed to achieving Value for Money (VFM) and to focus on embedding good practice into the whole Trust. The Trustees have adopted a Value for Money strategy which identifies the ambitions of the trust to move towards a transformational approach to VFM.

VFM has been defined as the relationship between economy, efficiency and effectiveness. VFM is high when there is an optimum balance between all three: relatively low cost, high productivity and successful outcomes. VFM is about running a viable social business and looking to continually improve it.

VFM activities have the following objectives at all levels and functions within the Trust.

Waddington Hospital Trust TRUSTEES REPORT Year ended 31 December 2025

Investment Policy and Performance

The Trust’s investment objective, as agreed with Atomos Investments Limited, is to maximise total return while maintaining an appropriate level of income, as determined by the Trustees. For the year ended 31 December 2025, total return—comprising all income, gains and losses arising from the investment portfolio—resulted in a net profit of £69,152 (2024: £38,256). This performance continues to be monitored and, given the uncertain economic environment and the impact of disposals of underperforming investments, was considered satisfactory by the Trustees.

Financial Review

During the year, the Trust received income of £275,304 (2024: £251,994), derived from charitable activities, investment income and rental income.

This income has been applied towards the ongoing maintenance, refurbishment and modernisation of the almshouses.

The Trust’s total incoming resources exceeded total expenditure by £33,982 (2024 as restated: £55,413).

Net movement in funds for the year, as reported in the Statement of Financial Activities, was an increase of £65,013 (2024: £131,824).

The Trust’s principal sources of funding are contributions from residents, rental income from investment properties, and returns from investments in stocks and shares. No significant events occurred during the year which materially impacted financial performance.

Going Concern

The Trust reported an operating surplus of £65,013 for the year (2024 as restated: £131,824). The current year surplus reflects realised gains on listed investments, and unrealised gains on quoted investments, together with surpluses generated from charitable activities. Excluding gains and losses on revaluation, the Charity recorded an underlying gain of £47,520 (2024: gain of £20,411). The Trustees consider the current free reserves position to be adequate. The Trust is able to operate comfortably within its existing cash flow arrangements, which include fixed payment commitments. Accordingly, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

The Trustees have identified two related party transactions requiring disclosure. Heating and electricity costs are recharged to the Trust by Browsholme Hall Company of which Robert Parker is a partner. Remuneration is also paid to Rev. Christopher Wood as a Readers Honorarium payment annually. These relationships arise because both Robert Parker and Rev. Christopher Wood, are Trustees. Further details are provided in Note 23 to the financial statements.

TRUSTEES REPORT Year ended 31 December 2025

Waddington Hospital Trust

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity law, 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 its incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

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 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.

The Trustees are also responsible for ensuring the maintenance and integrity of the Trust’s financial information published on its website. They recognise that legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from that in other jurisdictions.

Statement as to disclosure of information to the auditor

The Trustees who were in office on the date of approval of these financial statements have confirmed, as far as they are aware, that there is no relevant audit information of which the auditor is unaware.

Each of the Trustees has confirmed that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that it has been communicated to the auditor .

Waddington Hospital Trust

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WADDINGTON HOSPITAL TRUST Year ended 31 December 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Waddington Hospital Trust for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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:

Basis for opinion

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.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.

Waddington Hospital Trust

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WADDINGTON HOSPITAL TRUST Year ended 31 December 2025

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.

Other matter

The comparatives for the year ended 31 December 2024 were unaudited.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the trustees are 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 trustees determine 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 trustees are 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

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 auditors’ 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.

Waddington Hospital Trust

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WADDINGTON HOSPITAL TRUST Year ended 31 December 2025

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.

Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the charity operates.

Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Audit response to risks identified:

We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the charity’s records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity’s policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.

During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

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

Waddington Hospital Trust Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2025

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Introduction and Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below, the Charities Act 2011, and 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) . Where appropriate, exemptions available to smaller charities have been applied.

The Waddington Hospital Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest pound.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and the measurement of investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies are set out below.

1.2 Going Concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. At the date of approval of the financial statements, the Trustees reasonably expect that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

Maintenance contributions and service charge income in relation to the almshouses are recognised when received. Rental and investment income is recognised on an accruals basis.

1.4 Allocation of Management Expenses

Direct employee, administration and operating costs are allocated to the appropriate headings within the Statement of Financial Activities based on actual expenditure. Finance and administrative costs are further apportioned based on estimated time spent on each area of activity.

1.5 Freehold Land, Property and Equipment

Housing improvements are stated at cost less depreciation. The depreciable amount is the original cost.

Significant components are accounted for separately and depreciated over their expected useful economic lives, or the remaining life of the structure to which they relate, if shorter. The principal annual rates applied are:

Equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful economic life of between 5 and 10 years.

Waddington Hospital Trust Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2025

1 . Accounting Policies (continued)

1.6 Investment properties

Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their fair value at the reporting date.

Changes in the market value of investment properties, including any deficits, are recognised within income and expenditure for the year.

Included within investment properties are the Trust's ancient possessions, comprising 24 almshouses, Warden's House, Chapel and Administrative Building. These properties were acquired on the establishment of the Trust and are therefore held at a nil carrying value. The almshouses form part of the investment property portfolio; however, a separate value cannot be reliably attributed to these individual properties.

1.7 Investments

Current asset investments are stated at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are recognised within the Statement of Financial Activities, within unrestricted funds.

1.8 Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the Trust’s balance sheet when the Trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at the amount expected to be recovered and are not discounted.

Other Financial Assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments, are initially measured at fair value, normally reflecting the transaction price. These assets are subsequently carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised within income and expenditure.

Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets, other than those measured at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.

Where there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired as a result of one or more events occurring after initial recognition, and those events have affected the estimated future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognised within income and expenditure.

Docusign Envelope ID: A2210558-16C7-8263-8259-0E86F245FACD

Waddington Hospital Trust Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2025

Derecognition of Financial Assets

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when the Trust transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party.

Classification of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price, being the amount payable. Trade and other payables are subsequently measured at the cash amount expected to be paid and are not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the Trust’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.

1.9 Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense and a liability.

Holiday entitlement earned but not taken is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Taxation

For taxation purposes, the Trust has charitable status and is therefore exempt from tax on its investment income, rental income and capital gains.

1.11 Value Added Tax

Irrecoverable value added tax is included within the cost of expenditure to which it relates.

1.12 Funds

As at 31 December 2024, the permanently endowed properties, with the exception of ancient possessions, were valued on an open market value basis by John Pallister Ltd FAAV, Agricultural Valuers. This is considered to remain appropriate as the fair value of the assets at 31 December 2025.

Included within investment properties are the Trust's ancient possessions, comprising 24 almshouses, Warden's House, Chapel and Administrative Building. These properties were acquired on the initial inception of the Trust and are therefore held at a nil carrying value. The almshouses form part of the investment property portfolio; but are used in the furtherance of charitable activities. The remaining investment property is held for the purpose of raising funds to be used in the advancement of the Trust’s objectives.

The following land and property are held by the Trust as permanent endowment:

The unrestricted general fund represents funds available to be applied at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the Trust's charitable objectives and for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the Trust.

The permanent endowment cost fund represents the historical cost of the Trust's endowed investment properties. These assets are held as permanent endowment and are not available for general expenditure. Further details are provided in note 13.

The permanent endowment revaluation reserve represents accumulated unrealised gains arising on the revaluation of the Trust's endowed investment properties. These gains form part of the permanent endowment and are therefore not available for expenditure.

realised as a result of the investment being sold, the appropriate amount is transferred from the permanent endowment revaluation fund to the permanent endowment cost fund. The amount transferred between the reserves in the year is a result of such realisation of historical investment gains and losses

At 31 December 2025, there was no capital expenditure authorised and contracted (2024: £nil).

23. Related Party Transactions

Total amounts charged to the Trust during the year in respect of heat and electricity by Browsholme Hall Company amounted to £1,927 (2024: £1,445). Browsholme Hall Company is considered a related party as Robert Parker; a Trustee, is a partner in that entity.

Total remuneration paid to Rev. Christopher Wood; a Trustee, as a Readers honorarium payment amounted to £5,750 (2024: £5,654).

At the year end, there were no balances outstanding with related parties (2024: £nil).

24. Ultimate Controlling Party

The Board of Trustees is the ultimate controlling party of the Trust.

25. Prior Period Adjustments

During the course of the first audit of the Trust, a number of errors were identified in the classification and presentation of certain balances in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The comparative figures have been restated to correct these errors and to ensure compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). The principal adjustments are set out below.

Investment properties separated from fixed assets

Under applicable accounting standards, investment properties must be presented separately from other fixed assets on the balance sheet. Accordingly, investment properties with a carrying value of £4,648,391 as at 31 December 2024, previously included within tangible fixed assets, have been reclassified to investment property. This adjustment has no impact on total net assets or total funds.

Reallocation of the investment property revaluation reserve

The reserve arising from the revaluation of permanently endowed investment property was previously included within unrestricted funds. As this reserve relates to permanent endowment investment property, the balance of £4,445,179 has been reclassified from unrestricted funds to permanent endowment funds as at 31 December 2024. This adjustment has no impact on total net assets or total funds.

Waddington Hospital Trust Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2025

25.Prior Period Adjustments (continued)

Reallocation of the Twitter Barn sale proceeds

The Twitter Barn formed part of the Trust's permanent endowment property portfolio. Following its disposal, the sale proceeds were reinvested within the Atomos investment portfolio. To reflect the requirement that permanently endowed funds must not be diminished, a presentational adjustment has been made to allocate the relevant value of the investment portfolio to the permanent endowment fund. This ensures the financial statements appropriately reflect the continued preservation of the endowment following reinvestment of the disposal proceeds. This adjustment has no impact on total net assets or total funds.

Presentation of income and expenditure

The comparative Statement of Financial Activities has also been amended to improve compliance with the presentation requirements of the Charities SORP (FRS 102). Certain income and expenditure balances have been reclassified between headings; however, these amendments are presentational only and have no impact on net income, net movement in funds or total funds.
