**THE SAMUEL BERNARD FROST CHARITY**
## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
The trustees present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The financial statements comply with the charity's trust and applicable law.
## **Constitution and objects**
The Samuel Bernard Frost Charity is constituted under a trust deed dated 20 July 1928 and is a registered charity no. 216113.
The charity exists to provide housing in eight pre-existing bungalows. The objects are to maintain these properties for current and for future residential use. Residents qualify for accommodation by satisfying certain conditions including those of being a poor person of age 60 upwards, being an inhabitant of Loughborough and a preference is given to those who profess the Roman Catholic religion.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at such a level to provide sufficient funds to cover the management and administration of the day-to-day running and to be able to respond to any emergency repairs that may arise.
## **Investment policy**
The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that specialised unit trusts, designed for the charity sector, meet their requirements to generate both income and capital growth.
## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
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 charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the year end. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- 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 accounting records which 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. 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.
