## **Holderness House The Charity of Thomas Robinson Ferens for a Home of Rest**
## **Trustees' Report for the year ended 30th April 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2025. 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 objective at the beginning of the financial year has been the continued care and welfare of the residents, to provide them with a safe, sociable and friendly environment whilst undergoing a supported process to relocate residents and cease care home functions.
The objective since our last resident leaving in July 2024 has been on the safe shut down of operations and in planning the conservation and future use of the house and grounds in partnership with the Charity Commission and Local Authority.
## **Strategies to achieve the year's objectives**
These include the continued close involvement of the trustees and the executive management team. During this period, Trustees have been supported by external specialists to oversee the closure of care home functions and to manage operations of the house and grounds as the care team left our employment. The trustees, in addition to attending regular meetings, support monthly visits to monitor the performance of staff, and to agree schedules of maintenance of the buildings, grounds and equipment.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities for the public benefit**
During May 2024 the charity concluded consultations with residents and staff regarding the future of the care home. Following the consultations the trustees made the decision to close the care home as soon as reasonably possible, with a view to prioritising the best interests of the residents. The final resident moved to alternative accommodation in July 2024. The care home staff were formally made redundant in September 2024 after the final residents were assisted in finding alternative homes.
In conjunction with the decision to close the care home, the charity has sought approval from the Charity Commission to broaden aspects of its charitable objects surrounding wider community use and engagement. Formal Change of Use allowing greater community use was granted by the Local Authority in December 2024.
The trustees are currently engaged in the second phase of their strategic review relating to the future use of the house and grounds. In the meantime, the charity continues to hold investments and incur expenditure on the maintenance of the house and gardens, albeit at a much-reduced level.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal funding sources**
The amount of income received from fundraising and donations is insignificant. With care home operations and therefore contributions from residents reducing substantially during the year, reliance is on investment income.
## **Investment policy and performance**
There are no restrictions on the Charity's power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the trustees and is reviewed by them annually. The trustees consider the income requirements, the risk profile and the stockbrokers view of the market prospects in the medium term. In the year the trustees continued with their investment policy for medium capital appreciation and medium income.
The charity's investment fund totals £3,623,776 (2024: £4,151,751) which includes amount held in cash by the investment managers of £114,412 (2024: £92,134) at the balance sheet date. Investment income in the year totalled £104,216 (2024: £106,953).

**Trustees' Report for the year ended 30th April 2025**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
It is the trustees' opinion that amounts invested should be maintained in order to provide investment income in future years. The trustees therefore regard the net current assets to be the free reserves which are available for the day to day operations. It is the objective of the trustees to maintain the free reserves of the Charity at a level which equates to approximately three months expenditure. The trustees periodically review future expenditure against the level of net current assets and draw down from or add to the investment portfolio, as necessary, to achieve the targeted level of free reserves. At 30 April 2025 the free reserves were £42,303 (2024: £172,542) and the trustees are continuing to monitor the position. Given the closure of the home and the changes set to be implemented following the strategic review, it is predicted that approximately £100,000 will be required to be drawndown from the investment portfolio in each of the next two years. Total funds carried forward totalled £4,664,970 (2024: £5,371,254) split between unrestricted funds of £4,647.350 (2024: £5,353,634) and endowment funds of £17,620 (2024: £17,620).
## **Going concern**
The trustees, having considered the available information, have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
This was created under clause 8 of the Will of the late Rt. Hon. T R Ferens in which the dwelling house, gardens and paddock known as Holderness House were settled upon trust in perpetuity as a Home of Rest (the "Permanent Endowment"). The main legacy was under clause 10(i) of the Will, which provided a fund for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of the dwelling house, buildings, gardens and grounds thereof and other attributable expenditure (the "Unrestricted Fund") to which have been added profits on sale of investments. The income is to be used for the general purposes of the Charity, essentially provision of accommodation for gentlewomen in reduced circumstances. The trustees of the Charity were incorporated as body under the Charities Act 1993 on 2nd February 1994.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
New trustees are appointed by invitation of the existing trustees. There is no formal policy for the introduction and training of trustees, but discussions are held with potential trustees to inform them of their duties and responsibilities.
## **Organisational structure**
The Charity is under the control of the trustees who meet a minimum of every two months to discuss the strategy, policies, financial matters and general running of the Charity. The day to day running of the Home of Rest was delegated to a professional management team who oversaw the closure of care home operations. Day to day running of the charity was delegated to a specialist consultant.
Under an order dated 1st February 1996 the trustees have the power to appoint an investment manager and to delegate to him discretionary power in relation to the management of the Charity's investments. By the same order the trustees have the power to appoint a corporate body as a trustees' nominee to hold the investments of the Charity. The trustees have appointed Rathbones Investment Management Limited to hold the investments of the Charity as their nominees.

## **for the year ended 30th April 2025**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Key management remuneration**
For the period of 1st May 2024 to 30th September 2024, the trustees considered the board of trustees, CEO, clerk to the trustees and matron as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. Since this point, the CEO, clerk and matron were replaced with a specialist consultant. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. The pay of key management personnel is reviewed annually at board level and is set in accordance with experience, responsibility and performance.
## **Related parties**
Included in governance costs is trustees indemnity insurance premiums of £4,154 (2024: £1,500) relating to the year ended 30 April 2025. Other transactions with related parties are disclosed in note 19 to the financial statements.
## **Risk management**
During the year the trustees have considered and identified the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. This involved identifying the types of risks the Charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risks. This work, over a period of years, had a direct impact on the decision to cease care home operations.
The Charity's systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The trustees are satisfied that the systems in place mitigate their exposure to the major risks.

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- 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 trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Holderness House**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Holderness House (the 'charity') for the year ended 30th April 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30th April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of 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 Auditors' 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 trustees' 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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the trustees Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; 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.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Holderness House**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine 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 trustees are 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, tax legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement,including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

## **Holderness House The Charity of Thomas Robinson Ferens for a Home of Rest**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30th April 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **Going Concern**
The trustees, having considered the available information, have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
## **Income recognition**
Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The policies adopted for the recognition of income are as follows:
## Charitable activities
Income from contributions from residents and rents received is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## Investment income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
## **Expenditure recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Allocation of support and governance costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice such as costs related to statutory audit and legal fees.
There has been no apportionment of costs.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Freehold land and buildings are stated at the 1930 probate value, less any subsequent sales of land with subsequent additions at cost.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Freehold land and buildings used for the purpose of the Charity are not depreciated as, in the opinion of the trustees, their life is so long and their residual values are so high that any depreciation would be insignificant.
Fixtures and fittings are depreciated at 15% per annum on cost or valuation.
Expenditure of a capital nature is capitalised when the expended amount per item exceeds £1,000.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Investments**
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through the statement of financial activities if the shares are publicly traded, using the closing quoted middle price, or their value can otherwise be measured reliably.
## **Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and are receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of financial activities allocated to the appropriate heading.
## **Impairment**
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
## **Termination benefits**
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
