Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
The trend continued with our residents older than those who came in previous years. wth more complex health
needs. As a consequence. their stay with us can now often be counted in months, rather than years, as was the
case only a decade ago.
There is therefore a constant effort to attract new clients and ol wurse there are more a newer competition on
South Bimiingham. We however maintain our excellent reputation, and perhaps score over the newer and much
larger homes. with our attention to service. particularfy aimed al the particular individual.
Of course, the year was notable for the rate of price inflation, not seen al a level of double digits for many years.
The combination of additional costs and chasing resident's replacements placed a great deal of pressure on our
budget. Then lo create a perfect storm we had a most unusu81 year of capital equipment failures. very largely in the
kitchen bul also in laundry equipment and ensurlng the Home mel the {increasingi standards for fire safety.
Great praise must go to our excellent staff, many of whom have been with us for extended periods now. Thanks
also due to The Friends of Bryony House who supplement the activities programme, and much regarded by the
residents.
Our garden is such an important feature and onc& again we must extend our thanks lo Roger Cadbury. who ha5
financially assisted thSs aspect of our work.
It would be quite wrong not lo mention Terry Foley who spent many a happy hour seeking lo understand the inner
workings of the lower lift, when the Engineering firms could only suggest equlpment replacement part. The lift is now
restored to lip top condition, which has allowed three rcx)ms lo b& o¢ciJpied On￿ more.
Several of residents are part funded by Bimiingharn City Council who visited us during the year lo ensure thè Home
mel their stsnosards. We received a bronze award. although it is true to say we rather expected a little higher. There
were a few. and quite minor suggestions by the inspedors and happily we have implgmgnlgd these
recommendations into our Home. Naturally our most significant hope for the future is that our main regulator. the
Care Quality Commission ICQCI. who have impl¢mented a revised inspection regirne and standards. would be able
lo return to our good listing, rather than our Requires Improvement. which we have had from before Covid.
Bryony House is a charty, and we are grateful for the commitment frorn our TrusteeslDireclors. all of whom give of
their time without any payment or even expenses.
Financlal revlew
Followng on from the difficulties listed above. the increase in the cost of everything we buy, the constant effort to
place what seem inevitably much shorter stay Tesidenls and on top of which a quite exceptional year for
equipment failure and subslanlial building repairs, and generally to an Increaslngly higher standard than the OTiginal
requlrement. This had a subslanlial impact on the financial position.
Resident fee income was some £277.000 below budget. The Building and Plant and Equipment budget was some
£39.000 over budget. As a consequence. il was necessary lo use some of our reserves and this impacted on the
income. which is mostly dividends from the inveslmenls.
That income was rèduced by £10,000 from the budget and the overall value as of the 315t March 2024 was
£150,000.
Ong very pleasing aspect was a gift from the family of a resident in grateful thanks for the care we had given him
during his lime with us. The total gifts and donations were some £28,000 ovfyr budget. We continue to be grateful to
Roger Cadbury who gives us rnoney each year lo be spent of our garden.

Reserves pollcy
The trustees consider it necessary and prudent lo maintsin within the unreslricled General Fund a reserve
equivalent lo one year's operating expenses. The designated Cyclical Repair Fund is a reserve intendeij to provlde
for the maintenance, repair and development of the Bryony House building.
Invèstmènt policy
Th8 charity's investments are managed on a fully ￿ls¢retionary basis by EFG Harris Allday. The trustees, agreed
risk profile is Medium.High with a balanced and diversified portfolio. Thè aim is to invest monies lo generate
income for the charity's activities whilst seeking to improve ¢apital values over the medium term or to al least
maintain Capital values in line with inflation.
Risk management
The trustees have given consideration lo the risks lo which the charity is exposed and satisfied themselves that
syslerns, policies and procedures are in place in order to manage these risks and are Constantly reviewed. A risk
register is maintained, updated as necessary and reviewed annually by trustees.
Plans for future periods
The effort lo look for new residents will continue and of course we antlcipale that the increasing cost of items will
slow. bul of course not actually reduce. 11 will be necessary lo produ¢e a plan to begin lo restore our investment
position, although there are still items requiring attention mainly in the boiler room.
If finances allow, we will wish to revamp the reception area. Install a electric Car chargè point as part of our carbon
reduction plan. Very much on a wish list would be a conservatory extension for th& dining room. thus easing the
space pressure on the current room.
And of course. perhaps one of tho most precious items would be a restoration of al least our previous CQC - Good
Rating.
We look forward with interest lo any possible reforms to be introduced by our new govemmenl that may appear in
the various manifestos.
Som8thing that provides a cap in the Cost ol a famlly must pay for a loved one to go into residential Care would
produce more potential residents and literally for a longer stay with us. We await the outcome with interest.
Structure, governance and management
The charity was forrlled in 1955 a5 a company limited by guarantee and is a registered Charity. The company is
governed by its articles of association.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRYONY HOUSE LIMITED
Responsibllities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Iruslees, respon5ibililies. the trustees, who are also Ihe directors of the
charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation ol financial staternenls that are free from maltsrial mlsslalement, whether due lo fraud or
error. In preparing the financial statements, the Irustses are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concorn and using the going
concern basis gf a¢counling unless the Iru5tees either intend to liquidate tho charitable company or to cease
operations. or have no realistic allemalive bul lo do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor undei se¢tion 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstalemenl. whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an audilorfs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance 13 a high level of a55uran¢& but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) will always delecl a rNalerial misslalement when it exists. Misstalements 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 desi9n procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above. lo detect material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. induding fraud, is detailed below.
Based on OUT understanding of the charitable company. we identrfied the principal risks of non-complian￿ wth laws
and regulations inclijding those that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial slalemenls and the
exlenl to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial slalements. Audlt procedures
performèd included discussions with management. review of board meeting minutes, testing of joumals, designing
and performing audit procedures and challenging a55umpb.ons and judgemen15 made by management in r8lation to
accounting estimates.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures des¢ribed above. We are less likely lo b8come aware of
instsncès of non-compliance with laws and regulation5 that are not closely rolaled to avents and transactions
reflected in th& financial slalements. Also, the risk of not delecling a mat8rial misstatement due lo fraud is higher
than the risk of not delecling one resuming from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example.
forgery or intentlon81 misrapresenlations. or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financjal Reporbng Countil's wgbsile at.. https'.11
