Annual Report to Charity Commissioners Period covered - 6 January 2022 to 5 January 2023. Approved by Trustees 6 June 2023
The period covered by this Annual Report has seen little of any remarkable note as, unlike many Almshouses the tone of the Governing Document covering 10 bungalows, which were built between the later 1920’s and 1946, was to enable the residents to enjoy independent living with no personal support staff and able to choose their own utility and telephone providers, internal decorators and plantings of non-permanent plants in a small garden. The Trust is responsible for all the structures and maintenance of the grounds. 24 hour emergency cover for heating and cooking crises was also provided using British Gas HomeCare.
The aim of the Trust had always been to provide accommodation at a low cost to persons who had come into reduced circumstances. Originally this was to be restricted to people over the age of 60, born and living in Sheffield and being practicing members of the United Reformed or Congregational Church for at least 5 years.
With the passage of time, a reduction in poverty, regulatory improvements to social and later private rental housing, together with increased home ownership has reduced the demand for homes of this type. As a result, the Trustees have reduced the strictness of the original conditions for residency by amending the ‘Rules’ and been successful in meeting the needs of some non-church attending residents who satisfied many of the original conditions from illness to difficulties with stairs.
Unfortunately, there has been no success in finding the missing Charge Certificate and it has been discovered that our solicitor can find no trace of the original Deeds of the Homes and further talks will take place. As a result there has been no progress in considering the adjoining neighbours request mentioned last year.
The Trustees have found some difficulties in attracting new Trustees as existing ones have either died or taken on extra voluntary jobs in their home churches, together with increasing regulations and are considering the numbers required for the future.
During this year the Homes have all had new, improved insulation and front doors fitted with other improvements in order to increase comfort and other measures will come to fruition as income allows.
