Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
The trustees aim to:
Promote the wellbeing and independence of the residents.
Encourage communal activities. Provide a good quality housing. Provide good quality gardens. Manage the resources of the Trust effectively and efficiently.
Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, in particular, the Trustees consider how future developments will contribute to the objectives and aims they have set.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Turnover for the year including investment income was £192,417 (2019: £183,238, 2018: £176,007). Donations during the year totalled £6,000 (2019: £1,620, 2018: £540).
The net income before gains/losses on investments was £33,248 (2019: £28,426, 2018: £30,237). The overall net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £39,206 (2019 a surplus of £125,434, 2018: a deficit of £28,456). This includes a unrealised loss on investments of £11,293 (2019: gain £53,271, 2018: loss £79,953).
Brewin Dolphin act on a discretionary basis on behalf of the Trustees in regard to the portfolio of the Trust's Investments. The movement in the investment portfolio is set out in the detail in note 6 to the financial statements. Regular meetings and update reports are received from our advisors to enable the Trustees to monitor the performance of the investment portfolio against the agreed risk profile which the Trustees consider to be compatible with the Trust's charitable status.
COVID 19 PANDEMIC
Other than the market valuation of our long-term portfolio the Trust has, financially, been relatively unaffected by the pandemic as its income is generated from individuals. Minimal additional costs have been incurred due to the pandemic and no additional financial support has been received by the Trust in this regard. Conversely much time and operational changes have been made to ensure the protection of our residents by social distancing in the common areas and additional cleaning and communication and liaison with our residents updating them to Governmental guidance and best practice through distance meetings and regular news letters from the scheme manager and Trustees from our welfare sub-committee.
FUNDS
Investments representing the Extraordinary Repairs Fund (ERF), the Cyclical Maintenance Fund and General Fund have been shown at market value at 31 December 2020 within the unrestricted funds.
Investments representing the Permanent Endowment Fund, Recoupment Fund and the Mrs Allen bequest are shown at market value at 31 December 2020 within restricted funds with any income being transferred to General Fund.
In accordance with the Trust's reserves policy the Extraordinary Repairs Fund (ERF) is used for extraordinary repairs, improvement or rebuilding of the Trust buildings and is currently aimed at 50% of the net book cost of the housing properties.
The Cyclical Maintenance Fund is to cover void repairs over an approximate 3 year period.
The General Reserve is to be maintained to cover around 3 years of operational costs including holding sufficient cash and liquid resources to cover six months of normal operational expenditure.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
GOVERNANCE
The Trustees acknowledge and appreciate the spirit of the Code of Governance issued by the National Housing Federation and apply those elements of code which they consider appropriate to the size and scope of their operations.
During the year the Trustees reviewed all their policies, introducing new ones where it was considered appropriate
RISK MANAGMENT
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review risks and to this end they have in place a risk management policy which identifies and ranks the major risks faced by the Trust. The current major ranking risks are COVID and the protection of the Almshouse residents and buildings. Because of the severity of COVID we have outlined the specific ways in which the Trust has been affected and the actions we have taken prevent any major disruption or risk to residents in this years report.
In regard to the second major risk of protection of our Almshouse residents and property, adequate insurance cover has been obtained in order to cover potential losses. In addition we do have a disaster recovery policy in place to follow if such events occur.
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL
The key elements of internal control systems, which have been in place throughout the year and through to the date of approval of the financial statements are:
-
Budgets are prepared by the Finance Committee and are formally checked and approved by all the Trustees.
-
Quarterly reports are prepared and formally reviewed and approved by the Trustees.
-
All major works are put out to competitive tender then formally checked and approved by the Trustees.
-
The Trustees regularly review the Trust's weekly maintenance contribution arrears and authorise appropriate courses of action.
FUTURE PLANS
In the short to medium term the Trustees' aims are to continue to provide and maintain the Trust's properties to the highest standard that is achievable from the regular annual income received in order to provide a safe, pleasant, friendly and comfortable living environment for all residents.
The Trustees have progressed the review of the Trust's constitution, which although broadly remaining relevant has required some modernisation to bring it in line with current best practice. It is envisaged that this, along with the transfer of the activities and associated assets of the Charity from a Trust to a CIO will be completed during 2021.
In the longer term the Trustees remain conscious of the need to prepare, plan for and meet long term repairs and potential rebuilding costs as the fabric of the property continues to age and how these costs should be best funded either from internal or external resources. The Property sub-Committee is currently reviewing the medium to long term requirements in order to make recommendations to the main Board of Trustees for consideration.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBLITES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Law relating to registered providers of social housing 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 Trust as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the Trust for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable policies and apply them consistently;
-
make reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates; -prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless in their view the Trust will be unable to continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that arrangements are made for keeping proper books of accounts which will enable a true and fair view to be given of the state of affairs of the Trust in respect of its housing activities and to explain its transactions in the course of those activities. The Trustees should also ensure that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Housing Act 1996 and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2012.
The Trustees are also responsible for establishing and maintaining a satisfactory system of control over its books of account in respect of housing activities, cash holdings and all receipts and remittances and for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Elizabeth Dowell's Trust
I Report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 set out in the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in contection with the examination giving me reasonable 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 Chariities (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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities except where dictated by the Housing SORP 2018 for registered social housing providers. Elizabeth Dowell's Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, except for Housing Grants which in accordance with the social housing SORP are taken to income over the intended life of the property.
Resources expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets - housing properties
Housing properties are properties for the provision of social housing and are properties available for rent. Completed housing properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, and expenditure incurred during the development period.
Works to existing properties which replaces a component that has been treated separately for depreciation purposes, along with those works that enhance the economic benefits of the assets, are capitalised as improvements. Such enhancements can occur if improvements result in either:
-
An increase in rental income;
-
A material reduction in future maintenance costs;
-
A significant extension to the life of the property.
Depreciation of housing properties
Freehold land or assets under construction are not depreciated.
The Trust separately identifies the major components of its housing properties and charges depreciation so as to write-down the cost of each component to it s estimated residue value, on a straight line basis over the following years:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Structure | 40 |
| Kitchen | 25 |
| Bathroom | 30 |
| Windows | 40 |
| Central Heating | 40 |
| Boilers | 20 |
| Doors | 25 |

Elizabeth Dowell's Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Impairment of fixed assets
An assessment is made at each reporting date of whether there are indications that a fixed asset (including housing properties) may be impaired or that an impairment loss previously recognised has fully or partially reversed. If such indications exist, the Trust estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.
Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use of the asset based on its service potential, are recognised as impairment losses in the income and expenditure account.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Reversal of impairment losses are recognised in income and expenditure. On reversal of an impairment loss, the depreciation is adjusted to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount.
Other tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value on a straight line basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Plant and machinery 4 years
Residual value is calculated on prices prevailing at the reporting date, after estimated cost of disposal for the asset as if it were at the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.
Government Grants
Government grants include grants receivable from the Homes and Communities Agency ("HCA"), local authorities and other government bodies. Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful economic life of the structure of the asset under the accruals method.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, Costs directly connected with the raising of finance are deducted from loans and written off evenly over the life of the loan in the income and expenditure account.
Investments
All investments are listed investments and are stated at market value at the balance sheet date.
Realised gains and losses on investments are computed by comparing net sales proceeds with cost of purchase. Movement in fair value of investments represents the differences between their market value at the balance sheet date and the market value at the previous balance sheet date or cost if acquired within the year.
Taxation
Elizabeth Dowell's Trust has charitable status and is registered with the Charities Commission and is therefore exempt from paying Corporation Tax on charitable activities.
Financial Instruments
The Trust has elected to apply the provisions of section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments Issues" of FRS 102, in full to all of its financial instruments.

Elizabeth Dowell's Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Debtors
Weekly maintenance contribution debtors are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at transactions price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses.
A provision for impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract,. Impairment losses are recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors payable within one year that do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at cost less any amounts settled.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price, including costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is including interest payable and other similar charges.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Mrs Allen Bequest Fund was received on behalf of Mrs Allen and is for the benefit of residents. This fund has historically been used to support the residents' Christmas party.
The Endowment and Recoupment Funds are held in trust to be retained for the benefit of the charity as capital funds.
Estimates and assumption
The trust makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. the resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Any estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are separately disclosed.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Trust participates in a defined contribution pension scheme for qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Trust in an independently administered fund. The contributions payable by the Trust are included within expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Going Concern
The trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Trusts' ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts.
Reporting Currency
The reporting currency is £ Sterling.
