BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT — Continued

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governance

The Charity was founded by deed poll dated 8 October 1657, and comprised in a scheme made under the Endowed School Acts on 14 July 1899 and is administered under the Charity Commissioners’ Scheme dated 22 August 2001.

The Charity is a housing association registered with the Homes and Communities Agency (formerly the Tenant Services Authority) under the Housing and Registration Act 2008.

Appointment of Trustees to the Board

Trustees are appointed at a General Meeting for a four year period. Co-opted Trustees are appointed for a period of five years.

One nominated Trustee may be appointed by the Parish Council of Thornton le Dale and one by the Parish Council of Sinnington.

The Incumbents of Thornton Parish and of Sinnington Parish are automatically trustees; though they may ask someone to take that place(s) vicariously.

Trustee induction and training

The Charity uses the existing skills of the trustees and draws on briefings received from the Homes and Communities Agency, The Almshouses Association and the Charity Commission.

Organisation

The Charity is administered by the Trustees. These are local people interested in the well-being of the elderly and infirm, who have skills and knowledge covering personnel and housing in a variety of aspects including financial and social. The Charity works only within the ecclesiastical deanery of Pickering (as at April 2005), an entirely rural area with one small central market town.

Risks to which the Charity is exposed

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and systems have been established to mitigate these risks.

Lady Lumley’s Almshouses

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT — Continued

Day to day management of the charity is carried out by the Trustees and the clerk, Mrs M Fletcher, administers financial matters.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objective of the charity is the upkeep and maintenance of the Almshouses and Old Grammar School, the provision of housing and general management of the funds of the Charity.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Although this has been a challenging year for the country in general, we are pleased to be able to report that our residents have remained safe and well throughout the covid pandemic and all its associated problems. The Trustees and the clerk put systems into place to support residents whilst self- isolating, including two free meals each week, shopping collection and telephone contact with the clerk and Trustees as required. Unfortunately, no trips or social events were held over the year and ‘Tea and Chatter’ social sessions would not operate throughout this time. However, all residents received a festive lunch in December, delivered to their home. Although not quite the same as being able to socialise, everyone enjoyed the traditional turkey and trimmings.

Our beautiful Lady Lumley’s Almshouses residents’ gardens won a National Alms Houses Award (2019 gardens, judged on submission of photographs and accompanying literature). Unfortunately, due to Covid, the presentation event had been cancelled until mid-2021, subject to further restrictions. Throughout the year, residents have continued to tend their gardens. No Open Gardens Day planned for this year. Meetings of the Trustees were held by ‘zoom’ in order that information could be shared and any issues resolved. Such issues included some on-going construction problems with the roof and velux windows on a couple of the properties.

Sadly, Vivian Hughes died in October at the grand age of 91. Vivian was a very community minded resident at the Alms Houses and will be remembered fondly by her neighbours and Trustees alike. We welcomed a new resident in January. Judith Robinson was the successful applicant. There continues to be plenty of interest as and when properties become available.

This pandemic has proven tough for everyone, but older people have the added anxiety of knowing that for them the risks of catching Covid-19 are higher. We are extremely grateful to our residents for the levels of care they have put into place to ensure not only their own safety but also that of their neighbours. It is extremely challenging to be cooped up for months in their own homes, especially not seeing family members. However, as restrictions start to be lifted, we will remain cautious and follow guidelines as issued. We can look forward (hopefully) to happier and healthier times ahead.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity continues to receive income from investments in addition to that obtained from the residents’ maintenance payments. Investments are run by professional stockbrokers who monitor the investments closely.

Resources are kept to cover the costs of repairs following quinquennial inspections, costs of general maintenance to properties together with funds to meet contingencies.

Trustees increased the weekly maintenance charge to residents in line with their policy.

[3]

RESERVE POLICY

The Charity has adequate reserves to meet its ongoing commitments and the Trustees allocate funds to designated reserves to cover maintenance liabilities.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charities Commission on public benefit.

BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. 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.

We, the board members of Lady Lumley’s Almshouses who held office at the date of approval of these financial statements as set out above confirm, so far as we are aware, that:

We have audited the financial statements of Lady Lumley’s Almshouses for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The report is made solely to the Housing Association’s board, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 137 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the association’s board those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the association and the association’s board as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of the board and auditor

As explained more fully in the Board’s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the board is 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.

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 136 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 137 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:

In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Board of Trustees’ report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatement or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021

  1. General information and basis of preparation

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the association’s financial statements. The Registered Social Housing provider is registered under the Charities Act 2011 and is a Registered Social Housing provider.

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102, The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018, and with the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019. The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. The financial statements have been 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 entity.

Uncertainties and estimates

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Estimates in relation to the useful life of assets are considered by the Trustees on an annual basis.

Turnover

Turnover represents weekly maintenance contribution and service charges income receivable in the year, supporting people income, revenue grants from local authorities and the Homes and Communities Agency and disposal proceeds from current asset property disposals.

Cash Flow

The accounts do not include a cash flow statement because the charity, having only twelve units in management at the Balance Sheet date, is exempt from the requirements to prepare such a statement.

Fixed assets and depreciation Housing properties are available for rent and are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, development costs, interest charges incurred during the development period and expenditure incurred in respect of improvements, which comprise the modernisation and extension of existing properties. Legal title to the twelve Almshouses was vested in the Official Trustee by order of the Charity Commission on 22 July 1941. It is the association’s policy to maintain properties to a high standard through a continuing programme of refurbishment and maintenance. Cost of repairs and maintenance are charged against revenue in the year in which they are incurred.

Other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. A full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of purchase, but no charge is made in the year of disposal. Depreciation has been charged on an annual basis as follows:

The useful economic lives of all tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 March 2021

Fixed assets — Housing land and buildings

The land and buildings were acquired many years ago and the original cost cannot be identified and is therefore taken to be £1 for housing land and buildings and £1 for other property. The development cost of the housing properties also includes interest charged on the mortgage loans raised to finance the scheme.

Social Housing Grant

Social Housing Grants have been recognised using the accrual model and are included in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the structure which is 50 years.

Investments

Investments held as fixed assets are re-valued at the Balance Sheet date and the gain or loss taken to the Revaluation Reserve.

Mortgage

The mortgage loan was advanced by the Housing Corporation (now known as the Homes and Communities Agency) in respect of improvements made to the Lady Lumley’s Almshouses,

Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the Charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

Taxation

The association has charitable model rules and its surpluses and gains are free from taxation provided that they are dealt with in accordance with its rules.
