STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Tyne Mariners Benevolent Institution was established in accordance with the requirements of the Trust Deed dated 8[th] July 1902, last amended on 26[th] April 2006.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

  1. To provide monthly pensions and other sums to ex-seafarers or their widows who have satisfied the criteria of financial need, period of sea service and residential qualification.

The charity is administered by Hadaway & Hadaway, solicitors of North Shields, who receive annual emoluments from the charity in recognition of their work for the year.

THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Tyne Mariners Benevolent Institution continues to provide accommodation at The Master Mariners Homes for seafarers, ex seafarers, their families and others in need. Although we continue to receive applications from individuals who wish to take up occupation, vacancies do occur from time to time. These averaged 3 in the year, with two vacant at year end. The Trustees have continued to carry out ongoing repairs to the property and to maintain the gardens. Although not required in a property of this age, the Trustees have resolved to update the property to comply with current Fire and Safety regulations which will involve considerable works in the roof space. These works will take place in 2024.

The Trustees are grateful for the continued support provided by The Merchant Navy Welfare Board and also Trinity House.

The Charity continues on a sound financial footing and continues to pay annuities to a regular number of recipients. The Charity continues to provide accommodation and financial support for seafarers within the North East region

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial statements presented for the year, show a surplus of £37,526 (2022-Deficit –(£262,839)) after accounting for the gain/loss to the value of investments held which totalled £78,660 (2022- decrease–£254,687). Transfers to designated reserves totalling £1,056 (2022- £1,056) were made whilst transfers from the revaluation reserve were made to reflect the year end difference between historic cost and market value of investments.

The Trustees consider the financial position of the Institution to be satisfactory.

The financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting by Registered Social Landlords (Update 2018), conform to current statutory requirements and comply with the Institution's governing documents.

VALUE FOR MONEY

The Registered charity is committed to being an effective and efficient social business achieving Value for Money (“VFM”) in all its activities.

As the charity only has 30 units to achieve VFM, it benefits from the policies and procedures of Tyne Housing (the managing agent).

Regular inspections of the units are carried out to schedule planned maintenance, although that said, many of the improvements are carried out during void periods in order to avoid disruption where possible to the tenants.

Through the management agreements The Tyne Mariners Benevolent Institution have a cost-effective process of managing day to day repairs and the collection of the weekly maintenance charge.

Additional VFM is achieved by using, where appropriate, local contractors.

The regulator requires publication of The Value for Money (VfM) Metrics. which all registered providers are expected to publish within their annual accounts.

----- End of picture text -----

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have established a policy to ensure that the charity’s unrestricted revenue reserves funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, do not fall below the amount required to run the charity’s activities for a year (approximately £210,000 to £225,000) should there be any call on the funds of the charity. The current balance of the charity’s reserves is considered to be satisfactory by the Trustees.

The trustees have considered the financial position and given the strong cash and investment position, consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

RISK POLICY

Risk factors faced by the Charity moving forward relate to the maintenance and repair of the building at the Master Mariners Homes Tynemouth Road being a listed building of substantial age. The Trustees are aware of the continuing requirements to maintain the property which is subject to constant review. No substantial refurbishments will be required in the near future and the Charity is satisfied that the sound financial footing of the Charity mitigates any risks substantially.

On the basis of a professional report, the Trustees have decided that they will install fire resistant partitions above each individual top floor flat which will bring the property up to the standard required in new builds. The estimated cost is £120,000 which, happily, can be financed from cash and investments held.

The ability to pay annuities is a further risk faced by the Charity. With the continued support of Trinity House and the reserves held by the Charity and the decreasing number of recipients due to age factors the Charity is confident that payments will be maintained and the risk restricted.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The charitable objectives also are set in order to provide a clear and demonstrable public benefit.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The institution will continue to provide support to retired seafarers and their families and will continue with the rolling programme of property maintenance alongside the major works mentioned above.

TMBI is fortunate in having Tyne Housing as managing agents. Their staff are very experienced in looking after elderly residents and have set up arrangements to ensure they receive any extra help required as a result of the pandemic.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Tyne Mariners Benevolent Institution for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Reserves, and the related notes. 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:

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 association 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 director's 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The board is responsible for the other information. 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.

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 course of 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

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the institution and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the board

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the board is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the board determines 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 board is responsible for assessing the institution’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 board either intends to liquidate the association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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:

Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have material impact on the financial statements: the Charities Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2022 and the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting by Registered Social Landlords, update 2018 (SORP 2018).

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Tyne Mariners Benevolent Institution is a registered charity in England and Wales, registered with the Charity Commission (number 229236) and a Registered Social Landlord (number A3721) registered with Homes England. Its registered office is Hadaway & Hadaway, Midland Chambers, 58 Howard Street, North Shields, Tyne & Wear, NE30 1AL.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the United Kingdom, Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011, the Accounting Directions for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2022 and the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting by Registered Social Landlords, Update 2018 (SORP2018).

In accordance with FRS102 PBE3.3A the Trustees confirm that this Registered Social Housing Provider is a Public Benefit Entity (PBE).

The trustees have considered the financial position in light of the ongoing situation in relation to the Covid19 virus and on conclusion of this work, given the strong cash and investment position, consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Trustees have chosen to utilise the exemptions available under paragraph 1.11 of FRS102 and have therefore chosen not to prepare a cashflow statement and supporting notes.

A summary of the principal accounting policies adopted (which have been applied consistently, except where noted), judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, are set out in paragraphs (a) to (i) below:

(a) Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investments at fair value.

These financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity.

(b) Turnover

Turnover represents resident contributions and service charges receivable net of any losses from voids. IT also includes income received from investments and grants. Turnover is recognised in the period that the income is due.

(c) Housing Properties, Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.

Major components of housing properties, such as the internal fittings and heating components, have been accounted for and depreciated separately from the housing structure, over their expected useful economic lives.

Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis at rates anticipated to write off the cost of the asset, over the expected useful economic lives of the assets as follows: Land Not depreciated

Housing Properties
Structure 50 years
Roof 50 years
Kitchens 15 years
Bathrooms 15 years
Doors 40 years
Windows 40 years
Boilers 10 years

None of the Institution’s housing properties are considered to be investment properties.

THE TYNE MARINERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Other Fixed Assets

Fixtures & Fittings 15% Reducing balance

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

(e) Social Housing Grant and Other Grants

Social Housing Grant (SHG) received as a capital contribution, in line with SORP2018 and the ‘accruals method’, is held separately as a creditor due more than one year, unless part of the SHG relates to a disposal of property and becomes recycled or repayable, in which case it is apportioned to creditors due less than one year accordingly. The ‘accruals method’ is applied as the RSHP holds all social housing properties at their historic cost.

The SHG is then amortised in line with the depreciation of the ‘structure’ component of the housing properties and released over 50 years (2%). The amortisation released in respect of the SHG is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as ‘income’.

SHG received towards revenue expenditure is matched against that expenditure by being included in turnover in the income and expenditure account. The related expenditure is included under operating costs. SHG is recognised in the same period as the related expenditure provided the conditions for its receipt have been satisfied and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received.

SHG received and not matched by development expenditure or relevant expenditure in the income and expenditure account is included in current liabilities. The amount of SHG in advance is calculated by reference to the aggregate of all schemes in the SHG funded development programme.

Other grants received (in respect of costs incurred) are shown as donations and recognised as income in the year of receipt.

(f) Taxation

The Institution is exempt from paying tax.

(g) Designated Reserves

Designated reserves are part of unrestricted reserves which have been earmarked by the Board for a particular purpose. Such designations may be reversed by future Board decisions. Expenditure cannot be directly set against designated reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account. A transfer is then made from designated reserves as appropriate.

The Registered Social Housing Provider (RSHP) designates those reserves set aside for future major repairs on all of its housing properties. The amounts set aside are based on a stock condition survey of the RSHP’s housing properties and represents the expenditure that cannot be met from the RSHP’s future rental income stream. The designated reserve is the amount that the Board estimates is required for future major repairs.

(h) Revaluation Reserve

The Revaluation Reserve, whilst shown separately, is part of the general revenue reserves and is a memo of the difference in investments value between the historic cost and the fair value. The reserve can be both positive and negative as a result.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Institution considers that its financial instruments comprise the Social Housing Grant (SHG); as such it is included as a liability within the financial statements. As the Institution has no intention to dispose of its housing properties the SHG will not become repayable. As a result, the total balance of the SHG creditor is presented as falling due in five years or more. The financial instruments are repayable as follows:

Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance

The annual transfer of £3,480 has been made from the revenue reserve, to be utilised when the cyclical repairs are undertaken.
