The purpose of the charity is to administer the set of six almshouses located on The Square, Dunchurch.
Performance 2023:
Ceiling insulation above kitchen/bathroom area over three of the units had been discovered to be inadequate during 2022. This was rectified in 2023. Internal insulation was installed in bathrooms in all units; residents reported an immediate benefit. Kitchens were redecorated. Other minor works were undertaken, as is usual every year.
There were no new vacancies during 2023, and the list of tenants remains unchanged.
The quinquennial inspection of buildings was completed towards the end of the year. The report on this inspection will give rise to further activity in 2024.
Finance:
The income and expenditure account, and the balance sheet are to hand. They indicate that expenditure slightly exceeded income from residents’ contributions, but that interest and rising share prices impacted positively on income from investments. There were no outstanding debts, nor any creditor liabilities at year end.
Investments:
The current account is held with CAF Bank, and investments are all with M & G Investment Company, barring a small balance held in Scottish Widows.
