STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Trust was founded by a declaration of Trust dated 12 October 1869 and is now governed by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 20 April 2012.

By virtue of that Scheme James Lloyd Almshouses Trustee Limited (comany registration number 08010707) was appointed as Corporate Trustee of the Charity on 20 April 2012 in place of the existing trustees and acts as the sole trustee. James Lloyd Almshouses Trustee Limited has a board of unpaid directors who are nominated to the board based on their relevant expertise.

The Corporate Trustee's directors meets 4 times a year to discuss, monitor and review activities.

Risk management

The Charity operates a Risk Register, which looks at the risks and threats to which the Charity is exposed. This is reviewed on an annual basis. The Corporate Trustee is satisfied that appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud or error.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The prime objective of the trust is to provide sheltered accommodation for elderly women. The trustee aims to

Promote the wellbeing and independence of the residents. Encourage communal activities. Provide a good quality garden. Provide good quality housing. Manage the resources of the trust effectively and efficiently.

Public benefit

The Corporate Trustee has considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, in particular how future developments will contribute to the objectives and aims it has set.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The Charity continued to invest heavily in repairing and improving the condition of the Almshouses. All the legal and recommended testing was undertaken on time, and in accord with the best possible practice.

Particularly noticeable was that the volume of day-to-day repairs, coupled with a steady increase in both labour and material costs, resulted in a total cost of over £27,000 for the year, this against a budget figure of £20,000. A trend thought likely to continue in 2025 as the buildings continue to age. The budget for the coming year has been increased by 25%.

An important year for improvements, in particular a programme for five replacement kitchens, which had to be increased to six due to a longstanding, but unforeseen water leak. Two of the kitchens included some asbestos material requiring specialist removal, only added to the complexity.

Report of the Trustee

for the Year Ended 31st December 2024

We were given substantial financial support from several charities with whom we have mostly worked with for several years, and the Directors wish to list those charities involved. Some grant aid was received in 2023, and the remainder in 2024:-

The CB & HH Taylor Charitable Trust The LJC Fund The Richard Cadbury Charitable Trust The Lord Austin Charitable Trust The Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust The total grants received were £20,000.

In addition, the Baron Davenport Charitable Trust gave £4,000 towards two new electric mobility scooter stores. We now have four such stores that allow reasonable security for the equipment, and safe recharging of the batteries, which cannot be achieved in the residents’ own accommodation.

The Directors strive hard to keep the payment from residents down to the lowest figure possible, following the lead from our Founder in 1869. The Weekly Maintenance Charge, (WMC), is of course set at a level that covers all of the outgoings, providing a small surplus at the end of the year. The small increase in WMC this year was felt prudent by the Directors to cover a general increase in costs, and especially as the fixed price dual-fuel contract we had enjoyed for several years expired in mid- 2024, with, of course, a substantial increase in costs.

The investments are managed on behalf of the organisation by a specialist firm, and it is worth noting that the, just over, £27,000 received from the dividends, was included in the general income. If the residents had to make good that figure, this would add nearly £17 per week for each of the 31 people living with us.

The Directors continue to confirm that investment policy should remain in its present form, being particularly mindful that, despite the substantial sums spent on the existing buildings, there is a need to cover as much as possible of the cost of replacement buildings, which is likely to be required when the current facility is no longer fit for purpose, or economical to repair.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year under review, the Charity recorded an overall surplus and increase of funds of £62,377, (2023: surplus of £24,893). Income from providing accommodation for elderly women has increased from the previous year to £208,125, (2023:£193,783) reflecting full occupancy of the site during the year. During the year there were restricted donations of £10,000 for kitchen replacements and £4,000 towards an additional scooter store. Expenditure has gone down from £227,544 in 2023 to £219,471 which is mainly due to the significant reduction in repairs and maintenance expenditure which was offset partially by an increase in utility costs and professional fees.

The charity achieved a surplus from charitable activities amounting to £29,844 (2023: surplus £1,386) which was due in part to full occupancy, an increase investment income and donation, and a reduction in the overall expenditure. There is an unrealised gain on investments of £4,640, (2022: gain of £365), and there was a realised gain on sales of investments of £27,893 during the year, (2023: £23,143). The Corporate Trustee agreed to transfer £11,500 to the Extraordinary Repair Fund (ERF) (2023: £17,000) plus an additional £27,719, (2023: £27,175) to the Building Fund.

The portfolio is managed on a discretionary basis by a specialist team of investment managers , Evelyn Partners, based in Birmingham who have a detailed knowledge of charity law. The directors of the Corporate Trustee meet the investment managers on an annual basis (March) to receive their report. The Chairman of the Finance sub-committee maintains regular contact with investment managers for periodic updates.

The finance sub- committee of the Corporate Trustee meets twice a year to receive reports from the property subcommittee on capital expenditure and to produce and monitor the budget for the full board to consider and approve.

Report of the Trustee for the Year Ended 31st December 2024

2024 Reserves

The charity has throughout the period under review continued to face the pressures of inflation both from a perspective of cost of raw materials and labour. Consequently, this placed pressure on both the Repairs Budget and Major Works as mentioned earlier in the report. However, this did not prevent the planned programme for 2024 being completed and within a revised budget.

The Corporate Trustee is satisfied the original endowment, plus the accumulated capital growth, is sufficient to maintain the buildings in the short to medium term, but longer term, and ultimately when the buildings require demolition and renewal, that the level of reserves meet future capital requirements.

Annual payments into both the ERF and Building Fund were maintained during 2024 as mentioned earlier in the report. The Corporate Trustee is committed to the transfer of monies on an annual basis to both Funds for long term investment.

Investments

Over the 12 months ended 31st December 2024, the overall value of the portfolio in total return terms recorded a gain of 7.6% compared to a gain in the benchmark index (ARC Charity Steady growth) of 8.2%. The portfolio has outperformed the benchmark over 5 years, 26.3% versus 22.3%.

Income generation was supported by new money invested during the period under review. Investment income totalled £27,190 (2023; £25,147). This placed the portfolio on an estimate gross interest yield of 3.16%.

In conjunction with the investment manager the question of asset mix and the risk profile surrounding the investment portfolio is discussed on an annual basis. The investment strategy approved by the Corporate Trustee and which is currently in place is to achieve a balance between income and long-term capital growth. A time horizon of 3 to 5 years forms the basis relative to performance and any substantial change in asset allocation.

The biggest performance driver in 2024 was the technology sector emanating in the United States. Artificial Intelligence became the watchwords for investors and companies at the forefront of new technology achieved phenomenal growth and pushed Wall Street to all time highs. Positive momentum was seen in most western bourses because of this euphoria.

What global equity markets chose to ignore were the risks allied to global geo-political factors which remain far from being resolved. Economic factors have more recently been a drag on market sentiment particularly in the bond markets. Inflation remains stubbornly high and therefore both the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank of England have to date resisted the temptation to cut interest rates to the levels market analysts were forecasting 6 months ago.

Global equity and bond markets will remain volatile in the current political and economic environment. The US President is another unsettling factor with the introduction of tariffs threatening a global slow down.

The recent annual review from our investment manager was in the main positive for equities but more sanguine towards bonds. The existing balance of the portfolio is well based from a global perspective.

RESERVES POLICY

The charity’s stated reserves policy is to hold at last six months expenditure in reserve, either in cash, or short-term deposit. The charity has current accounts with both Lloyds and Santander banks which totalled more than £144,000 at the end of the 2024. The Corporate Trustee has over the last two financial years reduced monies held on bank deposit for long term investment but retained sufficient to meet at least six months expenditure and any unbudgeted repairs.

Report of the Trustee for the Year Ended 31st December 2024

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Directors have agreed a programme of work for the 2025 improvements.

This work includes re-roofing the five bungalows. The quality and construction of the existing buildings was exposed during the storms in late 2024, so this work has been a priority. The main roofs to the flats are not in the same condition as this is monitored, and whilst they are now coming up to 60 years from construction, it is thought they should last for some years to come.

We plan to increase the insulation levels to external walls and roof spaces to the flats, bringing them up to modern standards. Whilst all the residents are comfortably warm, this can be achieved if less gas is used, whilst also reducing the carbon dioxide emission, which is part of our environmental strategy. This will also enable the Energy Performance rating of five of the properties to be retested, as they are currently EPC Grade D, and to remain lettable, they must be no worse that Grade C by 2030. All the other of our units are Grade C.

The long-term future of the heating systems, currently gas boilers, remains under review, present Government thinking being that such boilers will no longer be available from 2035.

It had been our intention during the year to replace those parts of the paths in the inner courtyard which are still tarmac. However, at the end of 2024, a section of the cast iron pipe network in the courtyard was found to be corroded and leaking. This network is part of the National Grid system, and not under our control. Other sections of the pipework must also have deteriorated over the years, and to replace current paths may well be unwise.

Again, due to age, there are some four properties due for their kitchens to be renewed, one of which is known to have asbestos problems.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustee of The James Lloyd Almshouses Trust

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2024 set out in the following pages.

Respective responsibilities of trustee and examiner

The charity's trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustee considers 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 the directors of the corporate trustee 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 connection 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 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.

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.
