HODGKIN HOUSE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 00761889)
Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The Trustees who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To provide comfortable and welcoming accommodation for students attending a university or college in Bristol. This will be at a reasonable cost to residents. In addition, it is the Charity's policy to maintain Hodgkin House in an excellent state of repair in accordance with the full repairing lease from the Bristol Diocese. The Trustees also endeavour to provide a measure of pastoral care and to enhance the facilities and overall ambience of this house of multiple occupancy whenever sufficient reserve funds are available.
Significant activities
Of all the objects listed in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the current activity of the Charity, in the year under review, continued to be the provision of accommodation for post graduate students within Hodgkin House, No 3-7 Meridian Place, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1JG which is also the registered office.
Public benefit
The Trustees consider that the Charities Commission's guidance on public benefit is met. Hodgkin House provides this by:
(a) aiming to make Hodgkin House as much a home as possible for students;
(b) fostering a sense of community through social events, activities at Christmas and outings;
(c) operating a discretionary fund to relieve financial hardship which arises for reasons outside the control of students; (d) keeping fees as low as possible consistent with enabling the charity to fulfil its leasehold and other contractual obligations; and
(e) providing accommodation at no charge for a postgraduate student who is the recipient of the Hodgkin House Bursary and who would otherwise not be able to afford to study in the UK.

Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
A summary of the results for the year is given on page 10 of the financial statements.
The financial statements show a surplus of £101,238 (2023 - £33,220 and a deficit of £37,062 in 2022). Major refurbishments of £28,000 were carried out to the front elevation of the building. A major refurbishment of the small kitchen budgeted at £45,000 was planned but did not go ahead due to a contractor dispute, contributing to the surplus.
An amount of £18,745 was received from the CCLA property investment which had been locked up for six months and one year by CCLA. The Trustees decided to dispose of this asset.
The Trustees, consider the financial position to be acceptable. The Charity has the ability to meet its obligations from its reserves. Therefore, the Trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Bursaries awarded
Bursary accommodation amounting to £9,007 (2023 - £15,387) was awarded during the year to enable students to continue and complete their studies in Bristol.
Reserve Funds
It is the Charity's policy to maintain an unrestricted reserve as a contingency fund for periodic and possibly expensive repairs to the five Victorian terrace houses rented on a full repairing lease. The fund is also to enable the Charity to undertake large scale refurbishment and enhancement of the facilities at Hodgkin House. This reserve is not expected to exceed circa £350,000. The level of the reserve is monitored, and the policy for it is reviewed by the Trustees at the end of each financial year. At the year end there were general reserves of £378,169 (2023 - £273,432), which included £43,403 (2023 - £57,928) of fixed asset investments, and designated reserves of £107,778 (2023 - £111,277).
Painton-Smith Memorial Fund
In 1997, an unrestricted legacy was received in the sum of £34,475 at the bequest of the late Rosemary Painton-Smith. The Trustees set aside one third of the total received to act as a hardship/welfare fund, which is expended at the discretion of the Trustees. £3,499 was used during the year (2023 - £5,757). For a small number of PhD students, who arrived in the UK pre-Covid, and after lockdown ended, the Painton-Smith Memorial Fund helped cover the cost of their rent increase in the last 12 months.
FUTURE PLANS
The Charity will continue with its primary objective of providing and maintaining accommodation for post graduate students attending universities and colleges in Bristol.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 May 1963 (updated 19 March 2018), which constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are appointed, for three years at a time, to the governing body of the Charity, the Council, by the members of the Charity. The Council delegates the day-to-day activities of the Charity to the House Manager Chairman and Treasurer.
Potential Trustees are identified by the members of the Council who submit recommendation to the Council. New Trustees meet with the Chairman when the operation of the Charity is explained, including the legal structure and the responsibilities and liabilities of the Trustees. Once elected, Trustees are provided with copies of relevant guidance documents from the Charity Commission and encouraged to study them.

HODGKIN HOUSE LIMITED
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The trustees (who are also the directors of Hodgkin House Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company 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 Charity 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 charitable
-
company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hodgkin House Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hodgkin House Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; 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 Auditors' 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.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 7
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hodgkin House Limited
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are 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 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 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.
Page 8
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hodgkin House Limited
Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP, The Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP.
2) We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and made enquiries to the management of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes, other relevant meeting minutes and review of correspondence with regulatory bodies.
3) We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:
-
Identifying and assessing the controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates and judgements;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and - Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Hodgkin House Limited
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The Charity is a private company, incorporated in England and Wales, limited by guarantee having no share capital and, in accordance with the Memorandum of Association, every member is liable to contribute £1 towards the costs of dissolution and liabilities incurred by the charity in the event of the company being wound up.
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the Charity is able to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Critical accounting 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:
Investments are shown at fair value which is based on observable market prices as advised by the investment manager.
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:
A bad debt provision has not been provided based on year end debtor balance and prior year history of recoverabililty.
Income
Rental income from the provision of accommodation for postgraduate students is recognised when the income is due and is accounted for on the accrual basis. Booking fee income is deferred as the booking fee is deducted from the first rental invoice raised.
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.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 25% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 50% on cost
Fixed asset investments in quoted funds are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value being at mid unit price as advised by the investment manager at the year end.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities to the extent that income and gains are applied to its charitable objectives.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any amounts advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Cash and short term investments
Cash at bank is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes and includes all cash equivalents held in the form of short-term highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts.
