The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **Objectives and activities** ## **Objectives and aims** The charity has two enduring objectives for the public benefit, each underpinned by a number of aims. Objective 1. The relief of those in need by reason of disability, ill health, financial hardship, or other disadvantage by: Aim 1. Providing a range of quality, affordable, rental accommodation to the Armed Forces Community. Aim 2. The provision of welfare support to residents of Westfield Village and to relieve need by providing financial support, as appropriate, and where public funds are not available or cannot be provided in a reasonable time. Aim 3. The disbursement of funds to charities and other organisations that support the Armed Forces Community. Objective 2. The advancement of community development, education, culture and heritage by: Aim 4. Providing Sir Thomas Storey House (STSH) as a Community Centre for the residents of Westfield Village. Aim 5. Supporting residents of Westfield Village in their community activities and maintaining the environment and ethos of the village. ## **Public benefit** The trustees have taken due cognisance of the Charity Commission's advice on public benefit with reference to its supplementary benefits guidance on the prevention and relief of poverty. We are pleased to report that we had no serious incidents within our Charity requiring the attention of the Charity Commission. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales ## **Achievement and performance** ## **General** Following the impact of two difficult years due to Covid 2021/22 has brought different challenges for charities and beneficiaries alike. We are now facing the impact of the highest inflation for over 40 years, and a looming recession. These challenges will affect us for at least the next two years, and the real-term reduction in income and higher prices, demands both tight budgetary control and that we must reduce waste and manage our funds to best effect. Likewise, with our housing stock, Social Landlords such as TGP, who manage our stock, are also facing their own challenges (high inflation, proposed rent caps, maintaining stock quality, tenant safety and delivering on new regulatory standards to name but a few). This emphasises the need for both of us to work in close partnership to ensure effective management, decision making and control for the good of the Village. Page 2 **WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** ## **Achievement and performance** ## **Finance, Governance and management** Recognising the need to maximise the charity's investments, we undertook a full investment review. This involved much hard work by Mr Stephen Quick, who is our trustee lead for Investments. He was ably assisted by a bid review team formed from other trustees and admirably supported by our Secretary. The end result was that we selected Brewin Dolphin as our investment manager, and they are bringing our three funds into one. We confidently expect this will reduce costs, bring greater transparency, better control, and allow us to be nimbler and more responsive, all in order to maximise our returns, under a single fund manager. Importantly, we will still maintain a diversified investment portfolio. We continue to develop our governance and management practices. Notably, the introduction of Village Ambassadors, has had positive benefits especially for communication and working relations with TGP and the residents. The Residents Association Committee is adapting to the empowerment they have been given and is growing more effective. We have provided support and guidance to them as well as giving enabling financial support. Beyond the Village, we have joined the Armed Forces Covenant Partnership in Lancaster. This will allow us to share best practise, information and help promote and improve services, and support in all aspects of veterans' lives in the Lancaster area. We have expanded our trustee base with a new trustee joining us who is a veteran with particular excellent knowledge of the veteran community, especially in regard to health and pensions. We also said farewell to Col Dew who served the committee in various roles for forty years and whose contribution and dedication will be sadly missed. Turning to management, we have firstly looked at risk and identified that having only one employee poses one of the charity's greatest risks for both operational and succession planning. Consequently, we reviewed our disaster recovery plan, revised it as necessary and improved trustee knowledge in this area. We have upgraded our accounting software and reviewed our banking mandates, financial policies including grant-making policies and procedures, expenses policies, and our accounting and insurance provision to: - Streamline and standardise processes. - Reflect our organisational structure whilst maintaining procedures that are both reasonable and proportionate. - Better manage any financial risks. - Ensure appropriate and, cost-effective services are provided. - Improve budget planning and financial transparency. - Ensure charity funds continue to be protected. Looking to the future, we are working with TGP on meeting net Carbon deadlines, electric car charging points, parking requirements etc. Page 3 **WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** ## **Achievement and performance** ## **Village improvements** In the year we have: - Continued to support the Resident Association financially with free provision of communal facilities and funds for administration, social activities, and services to promote mental well-being and community spirit. This has included WIFI provision in STSH. - Completed a building survey of STSH and agreed on a building maintenance programme with clear priorities, which has informed our budget setting for the next 5-10 years. Unfortunately, the effects of Covid on the construction industry are still impacting our ability to complete scheduled building works while prices continue to soar. We have however: o Completed path cleaning and repairs to the community room and 2 STSH. o Commissioned urgent roof repairs which cannot be completed till next year due to weather conditions. o Commissioned a lighting survey around the communal facilities to take into consideration the differing needs of our residents to make it as safe as possible for as many as possible. Any suggested upgrade will be considered and, if necessary, added to our Building Maintenance Plan. o Completed the refurbishment of the Bois Memorial Garden and created an entrance to the gardens of STSH at the request of the Residents Association and in time for Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Next year we intend to: - Complete the works commissioned this year. - Secure a contractor for the building maintenance plan, but making sure we are obtaining best value and use of our resources. - Continue the review of our governance. - Continue to support the village and the residents in making Westfield a desirable place to live, with a supportive community. ## **Financial review** ## **Reserves policy** The charity maintains sufficient free reserves to continue operating for a year and to cover major repairs. Any surplus funds may be paid out by way of grants in future years. Free reserves as at the year-end were £2,056,230 (2021 - £2,257,983), of which £1,855,744 (2021 - £2,108,422) is held as investments to generate income for the charity. ## **Structure, governance and management Governing document** The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 12 August 1919, as amended by special resolutions on 31 March 1950, 29 July 1957, 17 January 1983 and 7 October 2013. The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association members of the Charity may be elected to serve as a trustee and become a member of the governing Council. At each annual general meeting one-third of all, or nearest number to one-third, must retire from office. If eligible to do so they may offer themselves up for re-election. Due to the varied nature of the charity's work with the Armed Forces Community, the Council seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected in the trustees' makeup, whilst also seeking wider diversity. The more traditional business, housing and welfare skills are well represented on the Council. In an effort to maintain this broad skill mix, trustees are requested to provide a list of their skills and experience. In the event of particular skills and experience being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to become trustees and maintain our skill sets. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity will be set out in the accounts. Page 4 **WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **Organisational structure** The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association. Together they form the Westfield War Memorial Village (WWMV) Council, which manages the charity and oversees the village. The Council is currently made up of eleven trustees who meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The members are drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity. The charity's secretary sits on the Council but is not a trustee and has no voting rights. The Council meets at least twice per year in Ordinary Council Meetings (OCMs), however, in the last year it has met quarterly, and this pattern will continue for the foreseeable future. One meeting, usually in March, is preceded by an Annual General Meeting (AGM). The day-to-day responsibility for running the charity rests with the Secretary, overseen by elected Council Officers: the Chair, supported by the Vice Chair and Treasurer. In addition, two trustees have been elected as 'Village Ambassadors' to liaise closely with the Residents' Association to guide, assist and support them in their activities and provide an easily accessible link with the Council. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association, members of the charity may be elected to serve as a trustee and become a member of the Council. At each AGM one-third of trustees must retire from office. However, if eligible, they may seek re-election. Therefore, trustees serve for three years up to a maximum of nine years. Trustees who are elected as officers can serve two three-year terms in their post. The Articles of Association allows the delegation of powers. We currently have a Finance Sub Committee made up of three designated trustees and a Policy Sub Committee made up of at least five designated trustees. They meet when necessary, throughout the year to discuss issues as delegated at the Ordinary Council Meetings or to address issues that arise between meetings that need more immediate attention. ## **Induction and training of new trustees** Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work and organisational structure of the charity having been encouraged to attend a meeting of the trustees, meet with the Chairman and Secretary, and attend various charity events. These help them to familiarise themselves with the charity's policies and the context within which it operates. Trustees are also provided with: - Information regarding their obligations, roles and responsibilities. They are provided with a copy of or directed to Charity Commission guidelines such as CC2: "the Essential Trustee" and CC8 Internal financial controls for charities. -The main documents which sets out the operational framework for the charity including the Articles of Association, Notes for Council Members, Basic information for new trustees the Lease and Management Agreement and the Information Sharing Agreement with TGP. - A copy of the latest published accounts including the current Chairman's Report which includes the charities future plans and objectives. - At least two sets of most recent Records of Decisions from Council meetings. - List of current trustees and contact details. - Forms which they are required to fill in and return, such as Charity Commission Declaration, Company Registration form, Conflict of Interest Declaration, Trustee Information Form and Skills Audit. Page 5 **WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **Risk management** The trustees are asked to identify any risks to the charity at each OCM. Additionally, a formal bi-annual review is conducted at the March and September OCMs as part of our strategic risk management plan. Appropriate procedures have been established to mitigate and address risks the charity faces. As evidence, significant external risks to finances have been identified, which have led to the diversification of investment funds into three separate and quite different funds as mitigation. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, residents and visitors to the office and community facilities. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity. Approved by order of the Council 13 March 2023 and signed on its behalf by: Colonel C W Owen - Trustee Page 6 **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WESTFIELD WAR MEMORIAL VILLAGE - LANCASTER** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Westfield War Memorial Village - Lancaster ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
