## **Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2022**
The Trustees have continued the management of five properties - providing 11 tenancies - in the Selly Oak/Bournville district of Birmingham. In accordance with the Deed of Trust of 30 July 1949, the Trustees give priority in the allocation of tenancies to older people, with a preference to those associated with the Religious Society of Friends.
A surplus of £40,006 (2021: surplus of £17,707) on the General Fund account was achieved in the year. The market value of investments increased over the 12 months by £39,081 (2021: increase of £89,418). These movements resulted in the balance on the General Fund of £587,096 at 31 March 2021 increasing to £666,183 at 31 March 2022.
All the properties meet the Government’s Decent Homes Standard (unless a resident requested for the work to be deferred).
The Trustees review the principal risks affecting the Trust on an annual basis.
The Trustees are considering the future of the Trust following the reversion of the leasehold properties to Bournville Village Trust over the next 2 years.
We are grateful to Keith Barnes for agreeing to act as Independent Examiner.
