The charity was originally established in 1721 from a bequest in the Will of Richard Fountain of the City of London, who was born in Linton-inCraven. ## **Governing document** A Charity Commission Scheme dated 18 September 1973 forms the governing document. ## **Activities** The charity owns and manages an 18[th] century Grade 2* listed building known as Fountain’s Hospital. The property is made up of six almshouses, chapel and gardens, providing residential accommodation (four single and two double) for people who have previously lived in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Linton, which includes the townships of Grassington, Hebden, Linton and Threshfield. There is no resident warden. The charity also makes annual grants of money to people and organisations in Linton Parish as detailed below. The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed, and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks. ## **Trustees** The maximum number of trustees permitted under the Scheme is twelve. There are currently twelve trustees. Four Nominative trustees are the appointees of the four parish councils that make up the Ecclesiastical Parish of Linton: Grassington, Hebden, Linton and Threshfield. The remaining seven Co-optative trustees reside or carry on business in the Parish of Linton. Trustees are asked to sit on one of three informal sub-committees that report back quarterly to the main body of trustees: these are Finance, Welfare, and Farms & Land. The remit of these sub committees is detailed below. ## **Income** The charity derives income from its investments, rents from farms and land, and the weekly maintenance contribution from almshouse residents. After the deduction of all costs, charges and loan payments, surplus income is apportioned to the Poor’s Branch, Hospital Branch and Ecclesiastical Branch, in accordance with the Scheme. |**Reserves**|**£**| |---|---| |The reserves held on 30/04/24 were:|67,081| |Extraordinary repair fund|164,692| |Cyclical Maintenance fund|27,329| |Routine Maintenance fund|3,930| |Poor Branch|9,431| |Hospital Branch|107,270| |Ecclesiastical Branch|5452| ## **Poor Fund Branch** The Trustees make annual grants of money to young people between the ages of 16 and 25 living in the Parish of Linton, in order to assist with their studies. Grants are also made annually to people living in the Parish of Linton to relieve need, hardship, or distress. We also make occasional one-off grants to local schools, or other educational and welfare organisations within the Parish. ## **Hospital Branch** The Trustees apply the income of the Hospital Branch for the benefit of the Almshouse residents. ## **Ecclesiastical Branch** The Trustees make an annual payment to the Rector of Linton, for him or her to use for the benefit of persons living in the Parish of Linton. ## **Sub-committees** **Finance** The Finance committee (a sub-committee of four trustees) in conjunction with the Clerk, review and set an annual budget, and report quarterly to the Trust on the overall financial position of each fund. ## **Farms & Land** The charity owns farms and land locally from which a rental income is derived. A sub committee of four trustees oversees Farms & Land, reporting to the main body at quarterly meetings. The land agent gives advice. ## **Welfare** Day to day responsibility for the management of the Almshouses and implementation of policy set by the Trustees is carried out by a Welfare sub committee of four trustees who report to the main body at quarterly meetings All Trustees meet informally with Almshouse residents once a year at Christmas over a glass of sherry and mince pies. The Trustees look round the gardens in summer. We are pleased that the residents continue to be satisfied with the standard of accommodation provided and the maintenance of the grounds. ## **Maintenance** A Quinquennial property survey of the Fountain’s Hospital building was carried out in October 2021, enabling the identification of short, medium and long-term maintenance requirements. Much work is being undertaken on the windows and roof with No 6 having been refurbished. ## **Development** The Trustees currently have no plans for extension of the services provided beyond the existing premises. The Fountain’s Hospital Charity complies with all current legislation concerning the following: risk management, investment, conflict of interest, vulnerable beneficiaries and volunteer management.
