## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 26 April 2023** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Eleanor Hirst Trust for the year ended 26 April 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) (amended 2 February 2016) as detailed in the accounting policies. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The charity’s objective is the provision of Grade II Listed, two-bedroom, Almshouse Accommodation in Wilshaw to benefit low-income tenants. 

Monthly maintenance contributions were first introduced in 2014 to help fund the cost of all internal and external repairs.  This charge will increase on 1[st] July 2023 from £365 to £425 per month nearer the equivalent fair rent rate (£460 from December 2021). The Trustees plan to increase the maintenance charge to £460 from July 2024. 

The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and when planning their activities. The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

TEHT successfully collected all maintenance charges during the year and continue to maintain all properties to a good standard. Significant work included the full internal refurbishment of No.5 following the tenant vacating.  An ongoing court case in relation to access of properties via a shared lane was part-won and settled in October 2022, at a cost of £16,800. 

## **Plans for Future periods** 

No major work is planned for the coming year. There will be general maintenance work carried out as and when required to continually improve the properties. The Trustees intend on revaluing the properties during 2023 for accounting and insurance purposes. 

## **Financial Review** 

During the year maintenance charges of £25,048 and investment interest of £2 were received.  Total resources of £62,232 were expended resulting in a net loss of £37,182. The increased expenditure was due to the necessary internal repair and renovation of No.5 which was in extremely poor condition, as well as legal fees relating to a now settled court case. 

On 16[th] November 2022, £25,000 was drawn down from the equity investment fund to enable the renovation works. At the balance sheet date this fund changed £27,252 in value over the year, resulting in a loss on revaluation of £2,252. The cash in bank has fallen from £38,199 to £9,432.  The investment is still considered to be the most appropriate strategy to generate capital return for the charity. At the year end the trusts total net assets were £811,885. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The charity’s governing document is the will dated 12 November 1880 as amended by resolution dated 20 March 2016. The charity is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charities Commission on 9 September 1963 under registration number 224048.

## **Statement of Trustees’ accounting and reporting responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual 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 and Wales requires the Trustees 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 Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principals 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; and 

- 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 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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 Trustees are 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.

**Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 26 April 2023** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **Charitable information** 

The charity’s governing document is the will dated 12 November 1880 as amended by resolution dated 20 March 2016. The charity is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charities Commission on 9 September 1963 under registration number 224048. 

The charity’s principal office address is Estate Office, Gate 7, Meltham Mills, Holmfirth, HD9 4AR. 

## **Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has since been withdrawn. 

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. 

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## **Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts. 

Permanent endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.

**Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 26 April 2023 (Continued)** 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Income represents maintenance charges received together with any interest accrued and is recognised over the period to which it relates. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for inclusive of irrecoverable VAT on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets, which comprise the housing properties and artefacts, are measured at fair value as at 26 April 2023. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold buildings and improvements 2% straight line basis Artefacts/Artwork 2% straight line basis Freehold land Not depreciated 

The Trustees consider that the residual value of both the freehold property and artefacts owned by the charity is at least equal to cost, as a result no depreciation has been provided during the year. 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than it’s carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

**Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 26 April 2023 (Continued)** 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. The Charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments in accordance with section 11 of FRS 102.  Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and are subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives, or other complex financial instruments. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity held for working capital. 

## **Creditors, loans and provisions** 

Creditors, loans and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors, loans and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. 

## **Taxation** 

As a recognised charity, the Eleanor Hirst Trust is exempt from taxation on its surpluses so far as they relate to its charitable objectives. It is not, however, exempt from VAT, and irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The Trustees have judged that there are no estimates or assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

Legal fees arose from an ongoing court case regarding access via a shared lane. This was part-won and settled in October 2022. 

## **5. Investments** 

The trust held an investment in the Vanguard Life Strategy 80% Equity fund.  This fund seeks to hold investments that will pay out money and increase in value through a portfolio comprising approximately 80% shares and 20% bonds and other similar fixed income investments.  The fund is in line with the agreed attitude to risk of the Trustees (Medium High) and it has a low-cost Ongoing Charge Figure of 0.26%.  Over the last 6 years, this fund has consistently outperformed its sector. 

The investment is held in a General Investment Account with Nucleus.  Nucleus are the lowest cost provider that offer the required functionality. They charge 0.35%. 

G + E Wealth Management advised on the investment and review it annually for a fee of 1%.
