The governance of the Charity is delegated to the Board of Governors at the Foundation. Governors are elected at a meeting of the Board of Governors to ensure, through careful selection, that the Board comprises Governors with appropriate skills, experience and the dedication necessary for the operation of a charity. The Board currently consists of eleven Governors. Governors normally serve a four year term of office with a maximum of three terms permitted. ## TRUSTEE TRAINING New Governors are inducted into the operation of the Charity, including its Policies and Procedures, and appropriate trustee training is organised for all Governors. ## ORGANISATIONAL MANAGEMENT The Governors meet as a Board a minimum of three times a year to determine and review the general strategy of the Charity and to review its overall management and control, for which they are legally responsible. The day-to-day running of the Charity is delegated to the Director of Finance & Operations, supported by the Foundation’s Estates and Administration departments. ## ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS The Charity manages 31 dwellings, 17 at Horne Street, 4 at Holmfield Avenue, 6 Almshouses at Westfield Road and 4 Almshouses at George Street, all within the City of Wakefield. Under the terms of the revised Scheme, Wakefield Charities' Homes are administered by the Governors of Wakefield Grammar School Foundation. A management fee is paid to this body for the provision of management and estates services. ## RISK MANAGEMENT Trustees examine the principal areas of the Charity’s operations and consider the major risks faced in each of these areas. Risks are rated according to severity and probability. The principal risks facing the charity are: - Major structural failure requiring significant repair - Insufficient investment growth or income to meet capital expenditure requirements - Injury of residents caused by property disrepair. In the opinion of the Trustee, the Charity has put in place policies and procedures, and has reviewed systems which, under normal conditions, will allow these risks to be managed at an acceptable level in the day-today operations of the Charity. These measures include maintaining a funded reserve for extraordinary repair, undertaking appropriate surveys and property checks, and undertaking a regular programme of maintenance and repair. 4 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 Wakefield Charities’ Homes TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ## **AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** The Charity’s objectives are the relief of poverty by the provision of housing accommodation and to provide relief to persons in the Wakefield area in need, hardship or distress. This is achieved through the provision of 31 Almshouses. These properties provide good quality accommodation at an affordable price to those in financial need who have a strong and continuing connection with Wakefield. Residents must be over the age of 50 years, with a preference for those over 55 years old. The Charity also manages a relief in need scheme that offers vouchers, or as a last resort, grants, to residents of Wakefield who have either applied directly for need or who have been referred for support. The Trustee ensures that through a managed programme of repair and refurbishment all properties conform to the Decent Homes Standard. Vacancies are kept to a minimum to ensure that public benefit can be maximised. Though some planned vacancies are required at times to undertake significant refurbishment works. Residents pay an annual maintenance charge to occupy the property. Maintenance charges are based on affordable rental values. Service Charges should meet the day to day operating costs of the charity but income from service charges do not allow for the cost of significant structural repairs and maintenance to the almshouses buildings, all of which are listed and are over 50 years old. These costs are met from the investment income of the Charity. ## **REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR** During the year, there has been good occupancy rates across the portfolio of properties. Unplanned vacancies are minimal as the Charity operates a waiting list for available properties. During the year, refurbishment of the four George Street properties was completed. Work included structural repairs, stone work and roofing repairs, insulation, heating, glazing and security improvements and a full internal refurbishment including new kitchens and bathrooms. Following completion, the properties have been relet. These significant works have secured the properties for the long term and the improvements made will be a significant benefit for residents. A programme of both planned and responsive maintenance has been undertaken in the year across the portfolio of properties. Maintenance costs are the highest area of cost for the Charity. Trustees ensure that reputable suppliers who can demonstrate good value for money are utilised. Trustees are also aware of the vulnerability of some of our residents and so ensure that appropriate measures are in place to manage suppliers undertaking work in our properties. Employees of Wakefield Grammar School Foundation manage the day to day operations of the Charity. This includes being a point of contact for residents and management of the estate. Whilst our properties are not supported accommodation, we are aware of the needs of residents and signpost to and liaise with support services if needed. ## INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY PERFORMANCE The Governors are permitted to invest available funds at their absolute discretion. The Governors delegate the management of the Foundation’s investments on a discretionary basis to Julius Bär International Ltd who provide regular reports to the Foundation’s Finance Committee, and report in person every other quarter. Their reports include performance comparison and sector bench-marking. The Committee has set out its 5 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 ## Wakefield Charities’ Homes TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 investment principles, the specific long-term objectives of which are the achievement of a balance of income and growth with annual total returns at least matching the performance of the FTSE WMA index. The Charity’s investment portfolio benefitted from market gains of £16,409 (gain of 1.7%). Excluding the COIF shares held, investment gains were slightly higher at 3.8% (after allowing for net disposals of £501,292). During the year, the charity withdrew £400,000 from the investment portfolio to fund the refurbishment project at George Street. This resulted in an overall decrease in the value from £982,942 to £633,195. The COIF shares decreased by 9.4% from £265,058 to £255,314. Given the medium risk profile which has been adopted and the portfolio’s long term track record, Governors are satisfied with the return for the year under review. However, Governors continue to explore all investment options available, with a view to obtaining the best returns within the Charity’s investment principles. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR** ## **Income** Total income for the year was £107,092 (2024: £117,465). Of this £90,323 (2024: £88,659) is derived from income from the letting of the Almshouses. Charges made to residents were not changed in the year; the increase in income relates solely to the level of vacancies as the refurbishment project of the four George Street properties completed in the year and new residents moved into the homes. ## **Expenditure** Total expenditure relating to charitable activities for the year was £196,937 (2024: £194,212). Of this £148,641 related to estates costs (2024: £147,278). £34,631 (2024: £29,734) was expended on management including the cost of services supplied by the Foundation. The net outgoing funds before investment gains/losses for the year were £92,796 (2024 outgoing: £84,877). Including investment gains/losses, the net movements in funds was a deficit of £98,861 (2024: surplus of £5,045). The Trustee considers this to be a satisfactory result for the year given the focus on refurbishing and maintaining a number of the properties. A return to a positive net current assets position is a positive reflection on cash and creditor management. Residents’ service charges have been reviewed and increased from April 2025 to reflect the improved accommodation at George Street and higher operating costs. The net movement in unrestricted funds after investment gains was a deficit of £98,016, resulting in a decrease to unrestricted funds from £2,149,122 to £2,051,106. The Trustees are satisfied that reserves remain appropriate and sufficient to cover future costs. ## **Value for Money** Wakefield Charities Homes assesses how it is achieving value for money in delivering its purpose and objectives, in accordance with the regulator’s standard on value for money. This means managing resources economically, efficiently and effectively to provide quality services and homes. The trustees review target rents, investment performance, expenses and the charity’s resources while seeking to achieve decent homes standards and maintain the level of service expected by residents. 6 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 Wakefield Charities’ Homes TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ## **Value for Money Metrics** Wakefield Charities Homes is a small provider for the purposes of disclosure of Value for Money Metrics. **----- Start of picture text -----**

The reinvestment metric reflects the recent investment in the George Street properties. The gearing metric reflects the careful management of cash and creditor balances and the absence of financial loans. This also contributes to low gearing and to the not applicable response to the EBITDA MRI interest cover metric. The return on capital employed metric reflects the deficit for the year. ## **RESERVES POLICY** The Trustee has reviewed the Charity’s reserve policy and it has been agreed that the Charity should aspire to retain a sum of approximately £200,000 to allow for future unforeseen events. The adequacy of reserves is kept under regular review and is amended to reflect changing circumstance. The Charity’s total reserves of £2,116,548 at the year-end included £6,570 restricted funds, £58,872 endowed funds and £2,051,106 unrestricted funds. £1,481,187 of this represented the net book value of fixed assets, £207,758 are reserves designated for particular purposes, and £259,508 represents the value of a Social Housing Grant (repayable under certain circumstances) which leaves free reserves, excluding designated reserves, of £102,652 available at 31 March 2025 (2024: £433,661). Free reserves including designated funds are £310,410 (2024: £589,770). The Trustee is comfortable with the current level of reserves held. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** Wakefield Charities’ Homes is a charity whose primary objective is to provide good quality accommodation at an affordable price to those in financial need who have a connection with the City of Wakefield. A further objective is to provide relief, either generally or individually, to persons resident in Wakefield, including residents in the homes of the Charity, who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress, by making grants of money, or providing or paying for items, services or facilities, calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons. When planning our activities for the year the Charity has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Residents for the Charity’s homes must be over 50 years old and have financial need. Vacancies arising in the homes are extensively advertised in the Wakefield area and prospective tenants attend an interview with the Homes’ Manager to determine their suitability and circumstances. Applicants are required to fill out a statement of their financial resources, including salary, pensions and social security benefits, and must, if not already resident in the locality, give details of their connection to the City of Wakefield. Maintenance charges during 2024/25 ranged from £46.00 per week for a single flat in George Street to £81.94 per week, including water rates and certain energy costs, for a three bedroomed flat in Horne Street. 7 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 ## Wakefield Charities’ Homes TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The maintenance charges are set at a level sufficient to meet annual overheads but not the cost of significant structural repairs or maintenance which are met out of the investment income of the Charity. The charges were unchanged from 2022/23. Charges were increased in April 2025. To maintain and improve the quality of its homes, the Charity operates a planned continuous programme of refurbishment and redecoration for its occupied homes and, when vacancies arise, takes the opportunity to carry out similar non-scheduled improvements as required. The common areas of the homes at Horne Street, its paths and staircases are kept clean by a contract cleaning company. In addition, residents are encouraged to report all necessary repairs to the Trustee. Another aspect of the Charity’s public benefit policy is the provision of an annual sum up to £2,000 in total for the relief in need for residents of Wakefield. In addition to “Christmas Gifts” of £35 each to the homes’ residents (31 March 2024: £35 each), grants are made as a “last resort”, and anonymously as far as the beneficiaries are concerned, upon request from other charitable or public bodies such as the Citizens Advice Bureau or Wakefield Metropolitan District Council, where no other resources are available to individuals in severe financial need. To ensure that the grants are used for the purpose intended they are made in the form of shop gift vouchers or a cheque made payable to a reputable household supplier such as Argos or B&Q. ## **FUTURE PLANS** Our key objectives for the future are to ensure full occupancy of the Almshouses and to ensure an operating model and investment plan that provides long term sustainability for the Almshouses. The Governors gratefully acknowledge the work of the administrative and estates staff of Wakefield Grammar School Foundation based at 158 Northgate. This enables the Governors to continue to fulfil the aims and objects of Wakefield Charities’ Homes, as they were envisaged by their founders, William Horne, Major Barker and Dr Caleb Crowther so long ago. ## **AUDITORS** Saffery LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditors for the next financial year. ## **STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE TO THE AUDITOR** So far as the Governors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware. Additionally, the Governors have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as Governors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information. Approved by the Trustee on 26 September 2025 And signed on its behalf by Mrs J Cocker Company Secretary 8 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 ## Wakefield Charities’ Homes ## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102); - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, applicable accounting regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the charity’s state of affairs as at 31 March 2025 - and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis for opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. ## **Conclusions relating to going concern** In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. ## **Other information** The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustee is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 10 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 Wakefield Charities’ Homes INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF WAKEFIELD CHARITIES’ HOMES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - the information given the Trustees' Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ## **Responsibilities of trustee** As explained more fully in the Trustee’s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative to do so. ## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below. Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities: We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustee, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the charity operates. Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Further the charity is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements; through a significant fine, litigation or restrictions on the charity’s operations. We identified the most significant laws and regulations 11 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E4DD7A2-5E72-45A1-875F-7EDB13F5E407 ## Wakefield Charities’ Homes INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF WAKEFIELD CHARITIES’ HOMES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 to be Building and fire safety regulations, including the Housing Act 2004 (Housing Health and Safety Rating System) and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Audit response to risks identified: We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the charity’s records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity’s policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance. During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
