St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31" March 2021
A. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust is an almshouse charity located in Spital Tongues, Newcastle upon Tyne whose main objective is to assist older people who are in need, hardship or distress by providing housing. In fulfilling this objective, the charity also aims to assist its beneficiaries to live independently.
The St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust has a long history stretching back several hundred years. It was an amalgamation of two Almhouses, The Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene, which was founded in the 12th century and the Hospital of the Holy Jesus, which was founded in the 17th century along with three other charities. These Almshouses and charities were brought together in the Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene and other Charities (Newcastle upon Tyne), Charity Scheme Confirmation Act, 1959, The organisation’s governing document has changed since then with the current governing document being the 2008 Scheme, The St. Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust.
At the end of the reporting period, the charity had 128 almshouses:
- e St. Mary Magdalene: 79 bungalows e Holy Jesus: 49 bungalows
In addition, the charity has 16 flats at Magdalene Court, which are currently vacant (See Section D), a former care home, which is no longer used for residential accommodation (See Section D) and4 flats referred to as the “Chippendale Properties” which are all occupied.
In accordance with the Trust’s Scheme, when making appointments, trustees must give preference to certain classes of persons who are required to meet specific eligibility criteria. Freemen of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne are given preference for certain specified almshouses. In 2009, the Economic Development and Construction Act gave the daughters of Freemen the same prescriptive rights as the sons of Freemen. At the time of reporting, there were 18 bungalows occupied by Freemen of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne.
With regard to other homes, preference is given to other qualifying applicants who do not have a connection to the Freemen of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. These applicants must have resided in the area of benefit (City of Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding area) for not less than two years preceding the receipt of benefit or for not less than ten consecutive years at any one time. Q ualifying applicants for Magdalene Court were required to be in need because of their disability and qualifying applicants for the residential care home were required to be in need because of illness or infirmity. To qualify for the Chippendale Properties, applicants are required to be in need because of illness or infirmity.
In exceptional circumstances, the trustees may appoint a resident who lives outside the area of benefit or has not lived in the area of benefit for the required number of years but is otherwise qualified.

The Trust also makes quarterly grants to the beneficiaries of three “hospitals” that were originally part of the same range of buildings as the old Hospital of Holy Jesus. These beneficiaries are nonresident and all must be in need, hardship or distress. There are no age or residence qualifications.
-
e Ann Davison Hospital Comprises six beneficiaries of whom three must be poor widows of Clergymen and three the poor widows of Freemen with preference being given to the widows of merchants.
-
e Thomas Davison Hospital Comprises six beneficiaries who must be the poor widows or unmarried daughters of Freemen.
-
e Sir Walter Blackett Hospital Comprises six beneficiaries who must be poor unmarried Freemen.
In addition, a quarterly allowance is paid to the Freemen residents who live on the site.
Currently, the trustees provide the following additional benefits for residents of the almshouses:
-
e An on-site Handyman Service
-
¢ A 100% subsidy on water rates for those who reside in the St Mary Magdalene bungalows e A free emergency call alarm system that can be accessed 24/7 which includes smoke alarm and C02 alarm monitoring and, for those residents who are assessed as having specific needs, the provision of a free daily morning call and/or additional telecare services
-
e A subsidised dining facility e Security service which includes an on-site security guard ¢ Communal grounds
-
e Free social activities and events
-
e A separate property for the use of family or friends visiting residents
-
e Aszmall laundry facility centrally located on the site for the use of residents, if required e A site chapel
The Trust also has the power to make grants to provide or pay for items, services and facilities for individuals, organisations and institutions. During the year ended 31st March 2021, the Trust made a grant of £2,500 to the City Lifeline Project organised by Newcastle City Council to assist those in need due to the Covid pandemic
The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance in relation to public benefit. The charitable purposes undertaken by the Trust which meet the requirements under the Charities Act 2011 are: (a) the prevention or relief of poverty and (b) the relief of those in need because of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
B. ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
- e This year has been particularly challenging for the organisation due to the COVID 19 pandemic, but the Management Team and the support staff have continued to provide our existing beneficiaries with housing services, support and advice and, where appropriate, have made referrals or directed residents to other relevant services. In addition, the Trust continued

to allocate properties to new beneficiaries in accordance with government guidelines for landlords.
-
e The organization has reviewed its purpose and activities and has produced a Business Plan, which includes proposals for the redevelopment of the Magdalene Court site, the site of the former residential care home and the continued refurbishment of the Mary Magdalene Bungalows. The investment proposed for the 6-year term totals around £9.5million, with no public funding being used.
-
e A review of the staffing arrangements has been completed to ensure that the organisation has the staff it needs to deliver services to its beneficiaries and to deliver the 6-year Business Plan.
-
© Work continues on the renovation of the Mary Magdalene Bungalows with a total project cost so far in excess of £2million
-
© We continued to receive a high level of interest from potential applicants who wish to live in our almshouse accommodation. A review of maintenance contributions was undertaken to make them more commensurate with the standard of property provided.
-
e Anew partnership arrangement has been in put in place to provide residents with a out of hours repairs service, which provides more capacity and resilience for repair and maintenance services.
-
e A constitutional review was begun and revised articles for the St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trustee Limited have been drafted for adoption. A new Finance and Audit Committee and Licensee (Residents Committee) have also been established. There are further activities planned for 2020/21 to ensure that the Charity’s governance arrangements are in accordance with the Charity Commission’s recommendations and best practice for the sector.
-
e Following the resignation of the General Manager, a new Chief Executive Officer has been recruited, taking up post mid-2020.
C. FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements for the year ending 31** March 2021 show:
-
e Net Income (exclusive of investment gains / losses) of £40,100 (2020: £583,100)
-
e Net Investment gains £2,184,400 (2020: £303,200 loss) e Cash Flow £1,263,600 negative (2020: £547,100 positive). e Total Funds £46,267,400 (2020: £44,042,900).
¢ Sources Of Funding and Use Of Funds
The Trust has two principal funding sources; Maintenance Contributions (charitable property rents) and investment income, the latter being derived from financial and property portfolios.
The Trust’s policy has formerly been to set Maintenance C ontributions at a level covering everyday charitable property costs and contributing to long term repairs. Investment income was to fund other subsidies to residents, major repairs and capital expenditure. This approach has continued in the Business Plan and following a performance review of the Trust’s investments the organisation commenced the process in 2020/21 of selling one of its farms to meet the

additional capital requirements of the Business Plan.
-
“* Significant Events Impacting This Year’s Results
-
Resident numbers continued to be significantly lower than capacity due to the Mary Magdalene Bungalow refurbishment program and the vacation of Magdalene Court pending redevelopment. The latter was written down to zero value in the year, resulting in an accelerated depreciation charge of £100,500.
-
¢ Investment portfolio values were 5.9% higher than at the end of the prior reporting period, but the revenue derived therefrom fell by 19%. The latter was due to reduced dividend receipts and £66,000 rent relief given to commercial tenants who had lost significant business due to Covid.
-
The Covid pandemic resulted in the withdrawal some subsidised services and a consequent reduction in operating costs. This was compounded by reduced administration overhead as staff worked from home during lockdown. The total reduction in costs due to the pandemic is estimated to be circa £32,000.
Even with the issues raised by the world-wide pandemic, the Trust remains in an incredibly strong financial position. Although investment income fell by almost 20% from the previous year, the cost charitable operations has been covered and a significant sum added to the Capital Expenditure Fund.
Going forward over the next few years it is uncertain as to how well or quickly the lost income will be recovered, and this will impact the funding of the business plan. The main financial issue to be faced therefore is that of addressing the loss of income so that the business plan is not delayed.

e Permanent Endowment Due to the Trust’s current policy regarding the setting of Maintenance Contributions, the investment income from this fund provides the funds to cover subsidies, major revenue expenditure and to fund future capital expenditure. All income is credited to the General Reserve and capital gains / losses remain in the Permanent Endowment. The Trust had previously considered adopting a Total Return approach to the Permanent Endowment in order to pay off the Northumberland Street Sinking Fund with accrued capital gains. This approach has now been put on hold until the results of further discussions with the Charity Commission regarding (see below)
-
e General Reserve The General Reserve Policy level was reduced by 50% to £500,000 during the year and now equates to 2.5 years net cost of charitable operations excluding depreciation.
-
e Operational Estate Reserve This reserve represents the capitalised operational assets of the Trust and an amount equivalent to the depreciation charge is transferred from it to the Capital Projects Fund each year.
-
¢ The Capital Projects Fund provides for the replacement of housing stock and other major items of capital and revenue expenditure. It is maintained primarily by the remaining investment income after charitable subsidies and transfers to other reserves.
-
e The Northumberland Street Sinking Fund was set up under an order of the Charity Commissioners sealed on 7 July 1980. The purpose of this fund is to recoup out of investment income the sum of £6,300,000 which is the difference between the sales proceeds of Northumberland Street properties and their estimated value with vacant possession.
Although the Trust had considered implementing Total Return in order to pay off the balance of this fund, it has now requested that the Charity Commission consider the fund fully paid as the present value is in excess of the discounted future value .
“> Investment Policy
The Trust’s Investment Policy is to have a diverse base to spread risk whilst simultaneously aiming for capital appreciation at least equal to inflation and an income return sufficient to meet on-going and cyclical operational costs not recovered from Maintenance Contributions and future capital expenditure needs.
The policy is currently undergoing review in order to align the management of the investments with the requirements of the business plan.

“+ Risks And Uncertainties / Factors Affecting Future Performance The following key risks and uncertainties which may impact future performance have been identified:
-
e Despite reviewing its investment policy, the Trust may still be exposed to a degree of risk due to the uncertain economic climate regarding the United Kingdom leaving the European Union and the repercussions of the Covid - 19 pandemic.
-
¢ With the adoption of the new revised articles for the St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trustee Limited several long serving trustees will retire. There is a transition plan in place but recruiting trustees, with the required levels of expertise and knowledge as replacements, could be challenging for the organisation as it is for small charities in general.
D. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
-
e There is a detailed Business Plan in place covering the organisation’s future-plans. This includes proposals for the redevelopment of the Magdalene Court site, the site of the former residential care home and the continued refurbishment of the Mary Magdalene Bungalows. In addition, the organization is undertaking several activities to enable a longer-term business plan to be put in place, which will build on this to ensure maximum benefit is being provided.
-
e The charity remains committed to providing a community environment which encourages social wellbeing through the provision of a range of facilities, activities and events.
-
e The newly established Licensee (Residents) Committee is helping to involve residents in the running of the organization and resident involvement is an area that the organisation plans to develop further.
-
® Following the establishment of the new committees and approval of the revised articles for the St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trustee Limited the organisation will continue with its governance review with further activities planned for 2020/21.

G. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITY
The trustees (who are Directors of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trustee Limited) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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 Statements of Financial Activities 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 Trust will continue to operate.
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 Report) Regulations 2008 and the Charity’s Scheme. 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.

St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31% March 2021 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust (the ‘Trust’) for the year 31 March 2021 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2020, and of the it’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended;
-
« have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
« have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company’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.
However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the company’s trade, customers, suppliers and wider economy. The Trustees’ view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed in the trustees report (page 2) and the accounting policies (page 24).

St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31" March 2021 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
e the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
e the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or e the charity’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or e certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by jaw are not made; or e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9 and 10, 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.
13
Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31‘ March 2021 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed auditor under the companies Act 2006 and we report in accordance with this Act.
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 an auditor’s report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the company itself and the industry in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management. The most significant were identified as the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP (FRS102) and relevant tax legislation. We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included:
-
e confirming with the trustees and management whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud;
-
e obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
e assessing the risk of management override including identifying and testing a sample of journal entries;
-
e confirmation received from the banks and investment managers to verify the balance as on the last day of the accounting year;
-
e reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
e challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates.
Our audit did not identify any key audit matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud. However, despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial
14
St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31% March 2021 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General information and basis of preparation St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust is a Trust set up by a Charitable Trust Deed on 19 November 1963 which was last amended on 22 December 2008 in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information in the Trustees’ Annual Report. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the provision of housing ~ Almshouses — for older persons who are in need, hardship or distress within Newcastle upon Tyne, payments for the relief in need of the Brethren and Sister of the Hospitals of Thomas Davison, Ann Davison and Sir Walter Blackett, and making grants to and providing or paying for items, services and facilities for individuals and organisation who are in need, hardship or distress.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £000.
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.
(b) Funds
(i) Unrestricted Funds (General Reserve)
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Trust and which have not been designated for other purposes.
(ii) Designated Funds
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
(iii) Restricted Funds
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Trust for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
20
St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
(iv) Endowment Funds
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally Investments and Investment Properties (including associated revaluation reserves). Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.
(c) Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is provable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).
Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.
When applicable, gifts in kind donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Where estimating the fair value is practicable upon receipt it is recognised in stock and ‘Income from other trading activities’. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against ‘Income from other trading activities’ and the proceeds are recognised as ‘Income from other trading activities’. Where it is impracticable to fair value the items due to the volume of low value items they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within ‘Income from other trading activities’.
Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
The charity currently receives no government grants. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
Other income includes the conversion of endowment funds into income which arises when capital funds are released to an income fund from expendable endowments or when a charity has authority to adopt a total return approach to its permanent endowment fund. It also includes other income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.
(d) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
(i) Costs of raising funds includes: All costs of managing the charity’s investments are included in this heading as per paragraph 4.46 of the SORP. These include management fees and the costs of keeping investment properties in good repair.
-
(ii) Expenditure on charitable activities includes: All direct and support costs incurred in the running of the charity’s almshouses are charged to this heading. Also included are allowances to Brethren and Sisters of the hospitals of Thomas Davison, Ann Davison and Sir Walter Blackett.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the contro! of the charity.

{e) Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Support costs are considered to be wholly attributable to expenditure on charitable activities. Premises overheads and other overheads are all considered to be support costs relating directly to charitable activities.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in managing the charity’s investment portfolio and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 6.
(f) Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life as follows:

(gz) Investment Assets
Financial Investments are included in the Financial Statements at Market Value. Realised gains and losses are included in the SOFA and are credited or charged to the reserves against which the assets are held: Permanent Endowment Fund and Northumberland Street Sinking Fund.
Investment Properties of the Trust are held for long term investment. They are accounted for in accordance with SORP (FRS 102) as follows:
-
(i) They are disclosed at Market Value. (ii) The valuations are carried out every three to five years subject only to obtaining advice as to the possibility of any material movements between individual valuations.
-
(iii) | Realised and unrealised gains are included in the SOFA and credited or charged to the Permanent Endowment Fund.

(iv) | No depreciation is provided in respect of these properties.
The non-agricultural element of the commercial estate was valued by Hindmarsh & Partners as at 31" March 2019 on the basis of market value as set out in the Royal Institution of Surveyors Valuation — Professional Standards — Edition March 2012. The valuation of the Chippendale Properties assumes vacant possession as the trustees do not envisage selling subject to the existing tenancies. The trustees have reviewed the carrying value of these assets in the light of prevailing economic conditions and consider that there is no impairment to that value.
The Farms and Woodlands etc. were valued by Galbraith as at 29" May 2019 in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Professional Standards (2017). Any development values relating to options given to housing developers in farm properties are not included within these financial statements, due to the inherent uncertainty of ultimately realising the value on such arrangements.
(h) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(i) 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 profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
(j) Employee Benefits
Pension benefits are provided through the Tyne & Wear Pension Fund, which is a defined benefit scheme. Contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the Scheme. The benefits are funded over the employee’s period of service and contributions are in accordance with the most recent actuarial valuation of the fund.
The actuary to the Scheme has confirmed that it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities relating to each separate body that participates in the Scheme. The accounting is, therefore, based on a defined contribution basis.
(k) Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
24
St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
(1) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
(m) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
- e The charity’s Residential Care Home was closed in 2012 and has remained empty since apart from those areas used as administration offices and dining room / kitchen, chapel and welfare facilities. It is appreciated that in the longer term this situation is untenable and that the building has a limited life. To that end it was revalued at a suitable rental rate with a proposed future life of 5 years from 31* March 2016. At 31.3.21 its net book value was zero.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:
- e Valuation of farms The majority of the farms are located on or near to former coal or industrial workings. It has been assumed that no past or present uses of the land would lead to a potential for contamination. Should it be established subsequently that contamination, seepage or pollution exists at any of the property or on any neighbouring land, or that the premises have been or are being put to contaminative use, this might reduce the values now reported.

St Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust
Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021
18 Movement on Funds (continued)
Fund descriptions
Unrestricted Funds
General Reserve
All income is credited to the General Reserve and all costs of charitable activites charged to it, except for those which are deemed to be items covered by the Capital Expenditure Fund. The policy level for the Reserve has been reduced to £500,000 during the year. Any surplus over this amount is transferred to the Capital Projects Fund.
Designated Funds
-
(a) Operational Estate Reserve This reserve was created in order to bring the capitalised Operational Estate of the Trust (The Residential Care Home, Sheltered Housing and associated fixtures and fittings) into the Financial Statements at cost less accumulated depreciation in accordance with SORP 2005. Under SORP 2000 these assets were not valued as they were considered “inalienable”. The scope was widened in the Financial Year ended 31st March 2010 and the balance increased to reflect the book value of all operational assets. This reserve is amortised back to the Capital Expenditure Reserve in line with the depreciation charge.
-
(b) Capital Projects Fund This fund was created during the Financial Year Ended 31st March 2010 to provide for the future Capital Expenditure requirements of the Trust.
Restricted funds
- (a) Northumberland Street Sinking Fund At the time of the sale of the freehold reversion in the premises in Northumberland Street occupied by C & A Modes, the Trustees, under an order of the Charity Commissioners sealed on 7 July 1980, were instructed to set aside investments to the value of £191,879.09 in such a way that the dividends on these investments should be accumulated for 80 years, the then unexpired term of the subsisting leases. The purpose of this fund is to recoup, out of income, the sum of £6,300,000 which is the difference between the sales proceeds of the reversion (£1,700,000) and the estimated value of the property with vacant possession as at the date of the sale (£8,000,000).
Endowment funds
- (a) Permanent Endowment Fund The Permanent Endowment Fund is a form of restricted fund and represents those assets which must be held permanently by the Trust, principally investments. Income arising on the Permanent Endowment Fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the Trust and is included as unrestricted income. All costs relating to Permanent Endowment Assets are charged to this Fund.

20 Pension Commitments
The Trust participates in the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund for its employees.
Under the definitions set out under Financial Reporting Standard 17 (Retirement Benefits), the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund is a multi-employer pension scheme. The Trust is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme. Accordingly, the Trust has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 17 and has accounted for its contributions as if it were a defined contributions scheme.
Pension contributions payable for the year ended 31st March 2021 amounted to £20,562 (2020: £57,364) and there were 2 employees (2020: 3) participating in the scheme during the year.
Under the 2019 scheme valuation, no additional deficit contributions are payable (2020: £34,500)
21 Capital Commitments
In 2021 the Trust entered into a contract with Meldrum Construction Services Ltd for the refurbishment of vacant Mary Magdalene Bungalows. The estimated cost is £169,500
22 Related party transactions:
A number of trustees have relatives or members of their Freemen Companies receiving sheltered housing provided by the charity. All of these beneficiaries qualify for housing under the charity eligibility criteria. All transactions with these related parties were at arms length.
23 Control
The charity is controlled by the Board of Trustees.
