OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity runs the Willie Seager Memorial Homes, a development of 10 'Almshouses' in Westville Road, Penylan, Cardiff. The homes were constructed in 1996 and replaced the former Almshouses on land at the junction of Colchester Avenue and Newport Road, Penylan, Cardiff, which had been constructed in 1939 by Sir William and Lady Seager in memory of their son, Second Lieutenant William Henry (Willie) Seager of the 10th South Wales Borderers, who was killed in action at Neuve Chapelle, France on 7th February 1916, aged 23.

Trustees had agreed the move to Westville Road following an approach from Culver Holdings Plc, who had owned property adjoining the site of the former Almshouses, and who had wanted to acquire the site, in order to expand their existing premises and procure a more prominent corner position for themselves, and who had therefore offered to acquire an alternative site, and build replacement Almshouses on that site, at no cost to the Charity except for the loss of what had, by then, become an unsuitable site as a result of surrounding industrial and commercial pressures.

The Almshouses are available to let to infirm persons in need ("except in such special cases as the Trustees shall determine"), aged 60 and over and being either:

THE WILLIE SEAGER MEMORIAL HOMES TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

To cover the cost of running the development, the occupants of the Almshouses pay a 'Weekly Maintenance Contribution’, which is reviewed annually by the Trustees.

The charity objectives state that the trustees shall apply the income of the charity for the benefit of the residents in the Almshouses of the charity or any of them in such manner as the trustees think fit from time to time.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general Guidance on public benefit when reviewing The Willie Seager Memorial Homes’ aims and objectives, and in planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Aelwyd has undertaken the following works in 2021/22, on behalf of the Trustees:

No Cottages were re-let during 2021/22 or 2020/21.

The Weekly Maintenance Contribution per cottage during 2021/22 was £71.28; There was no lost income during 2021/22 or 2020/21 due to cottages remaining empty. As at 31 March 2022, £916 was owed by occupants in respect of Weekly Maintenance Contributions, being 2.69% (2.99% 2020/21) of the charge which was levied throughout the year (£37,065.60),

Detailed final draft financial information was submitted to the meeting of the Trust held on 27/09/2022, and approved by the Trustees, and the resulting final versions of the Independent Examiner's report, Statement of Financial Activities, and Balance Sheet, are provided on the following pages.

In summary, Trustees are continuing to improve the quality of life of the residents, but remain ever mindful of the need to monitor, and where necessary, address, the level of funding required to maintain such continuity in the middle-term and long-term future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity operated at a deficit of £9,762 for the year after a net gain on investments of £12,635 there was £26,520 of exceptional maintenance carried out during the year which included replacement of all externa! doors and repair of the lamp post on Willie Seager land. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's own resources are sufficient to meet its future financial needs. The budget for 2022/23 predicts a small deficit of £1,483 however a net cash inflow of £13,013 is predicted. The Trust has £483,582 of investments which will be used to fund future extraordinary work.
