## **MERGER WITH ELIZABETH DOWELL'S ALMSHOUSE TRUST**
On 30th September 2025 the merger was completed between Elizabeth Dowell's Trust and Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, Charity Registration Number 1204800.
In line with the Pre-Merger Vesting Document signed 16th September 2025 all assets, liabilities and reserves were transferred from Elizabeth Dowell's Trust to Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust on 30th September 2025.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The financial review below relates to the transactions to midnight on 30th September 2025. At 1 minute past midnight on 30th September 2025 the assets, liabilities and reserves were transferred to Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust.
Income, for the 9 months period, including investment and donation income was £206,052 (for the year 2024: £263,293, 2023: £250,317). Donations during the 9 month period totalled £302 (for the year 2024: £3,000, 2023: £51).
The net surplus before unrealised gains/losses on investments was £43,738 (2024: loss £12,821, 2023: surplus £104,151). The overall net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £86,869 (2024: a surplus of £18,268, 2023: a surplus of £53,487). This includes a unrealised gain on investments of £41,131 (2024: gain £31,089, 2023: loss £50,665) .
During the year a loan was provide to Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust to provide funds for any pre-merger expenditure. The value of the loan on 30th September 2025 was £25,107.
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.

## **Report of the Trustees for the period to 30th September 2025**
## **OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE**
The Trust continued in a good position, with full occupancy and a long waiting list. Some small arrears arose as a result of misunderstanding, but both residents have committed to a payment plan to make good. Various projects requested by residents have been completed during the period, including key safes for all residents, a cycle shed, with the help of a grant from Baron Davenport, a woodland path, and new garden furniture. We have also installed a stairlift for 2 residents, one wholly funded by ourselves. In addition, we have undertaken further retarmaccing of footpaths, moss clearance from roofs, replacement of 2 fire doors and refurbishment of wetrooms. We received a favourable quinquennial report, and any small outstanding work will be passed over to Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust post the merger with the Trust on 30th September 2025.
## **INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE**
Our long term investments continued to improve, bolstered by a further £50k switch from cash to investments in April. In addition we completed the amalgamation of our separate investment funds into one, thereby reducing costs and allowing smaller funds to benefit from investments not otherwise open to them.
## **VALUE FOR MONEY**
The Regulator of Social Housing has introduced a new standard for the reporting of Value for Money (VfM), under which all Almshouse Charities which are Registered Providers of Social Housing must comply. This Accounting Direction applies to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022.
The regulator has defined seven key VfM metrics that must be reported by every provider for the financial year that is being examined.
|||30.09.25|31.12.24|
|---|---|---|---|
|1.|Reinvestment %|0.47%|0.42%|
|2a.|New supplydelivered %(Social Housingunits)|0.00%|0.00%|
|2b.|New supplydelivered %(Non-Social Housingunits)|0.00%|0.00%|
|3.|Gearing%|-14.30%|-21.33%|
|4.|Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, Major Repairs
Included Interest Cover %|967.58%|85.79%|
|5.|Headline Social HousingCost Per Unit|£4,463.97|£7,665.57|
|6a.|OperatingMargin(social housinglettings)%|14.89%|-14.06%|
|6b.|OperatingMargin(overall)%|14.89%|-14.06%|
|7.|Return on Capital Employed(ROCE)%|1.53%|-1.90%|
**Metric1 Reinvestment % -** This metric looks at the investment in properties (existing stock as well as new supply) as a percentage of the value of total properties held.
**Metric 2 New Supply Delivered % -** This metric sets out the number of new social housing and non social housing units that have been acquired or developed in the year as a proportion of the total housing units and non-social housing units owned at the period end.
**Metric 3 Gearing % -** This metric assesses how much of the adjusted assets are made up of debt and the degree of dependence on debt finance. It is often a key indicator of an organisation's appetite for growth. Elizabeth Dowell's cash balance exceeds the value of the borrowings and the new development was funded from reserves.
**Metric 4 Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, Major Repairs Including Interest Cover % -** This is a measure of the level of surplus that the charity generates compared to interest payable, whilst removing the distortion arising from depreciation of properties.
Page 3
**Elizabeth Dowell's Trust**
## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the period to 30th September 2025**
**Metric 5 Headline Social Housing Cost per Unit -** The unit cost metric assesses the headline housing cost per unit as defined by the regulator.
**Metric 6 Operating Margin %** - This demonstrates the profitability of operating assets before exceptional expenses are taken into account. Almshouses are required to report on two Operating Margin ratios: a) Operating Margin (social housing lettings only) b) Operating Margin (overall). These figures are the same for Elizabeth Dowell's Trust as all units are classed as social housing.
**Metric 7 Return on capital employed (ROCE)% -** This metric compares the operating surplus to total assets less current liabilities and is a common measure in the commercial sector to assess the efficient investment of capital resources.
## **Elizabeth Dowell's Trust's Metrics**
The regulator asks providers to lay out a set of metrics of their own that they can measure themselves against. We have selected Metrics which best reflect the outcomes we are seeking to deliver in line with our business plan for our Almshouse Charity. The regulator has also suggested that almshouses that are social providers form benchmarking groups to enable them to measure their VfM against other comparable organisations. In future years Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust is very willing to participate with any benchmarking group that comes to the Trust's attention within a similar area of operation.
|||2025|2024|Target 2024|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|1.|Occupancy|99.62%|98.23%|95.00%|
|2.|Contributions collected as a percentage of contributions
owed|99.55%|101.55%|100.00%|
|3.|Percentage of residents completingannualquestionnaire|N/A|68.75%|50.00%|
|4.|% of items raised in annual questionnaire which have been
closed out duringtheyear.|87.50%|90.91%|100.00%|
The annual resident questionnaire was issued in November 2025 after the merger. Therefore the percentage of residents completing the form will be reported in Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust 2025 accounts.
## **FUNDS**
As per our governing documents, investments representing the Extraordinary Repairs Fund (ERF) and General Fund have been shown at market value within the unrestricted funds at 29th September 2025, before transferring to the CIO at 1 minute past midnight on 30th September 2025.
Investments representing the Permanent Endowment Fund and Recoupment Fund are shown within restricted funds at the market value on 29th September 2025 before transferring to the CIO on the 30th September. Any income earned on these investments is treated as General Fund income in line with governing documents.
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 a minimum of 50% of the 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.
In addition, the Trust has designated a Property Fund, which holds the current "book cost" of properties and will change as a result of capital expenditure. This allows greater clarity on which of the reserves are available / realisable.
In order to amalgamate the various investment funds into one, a set of rules has been agreed to ensure our funds are accounted for in line with our governing documents.

## **Report of the Trustees for the period to 30th September 2025**
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
Risks continued to be managed in accordance with our policy, The major risk identified of transfer to a CIO has now been mitigated as the transfer has taken place. Any outstanding actions have been transferred to Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust, as has the Risk Management Policy and review procedure, and our Disaster Recovery Policy.
Regular maintenance inspections and Health & Safety reviews are carried out and adequate insurance cover has been obtained in order to cover potential losses.
## **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**
Following the merger with Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), on 30th September 2025, this will be the final set of accounts for Elizabeth Dowell's trust.
The results of the strategic review, considering provision of additional accommodation, installation of solar panels etc will be carried forward and reported by the CIO.
## **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.

## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the period to 30th September 2025**
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**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
1. examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
2. (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Charities Act); and 3. 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 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; or
- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).;
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.

**Elizabeth Dowell's Trust**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the period to 30th September 2025**
## 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 Comprehensive Income 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 period to 30th September 2025**
## **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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the period to 30th September 2025**
## **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. During 2025 this fund was exhausted by the purchase of new garden furniture. Christmas parties will now be funded from the General Fund.
Miss Edwards Fund was donated by her sister in memory of Miss Edwards who was a resident at the Trust. The fund is to be used for the purchase of plants for the garden and for residents events.
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 Comprehensive Income in the period to which they relate.
## **Going Concern**
The Trust merged with Elizabeth Dowell's Almshouse Trust on 30th September 2025. The trustees considers that there are no material uncertainties about the new Trusts' ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts.
## **Reporting Currency**
