WINWOOD ALMSHOUSES TRUST

REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 229682

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

STATUS AND PRINCIPAL OBJECTS

The Charity is a trust and was founded in 1687 by Richard Winwood to provide almshouses for poor widows and widowers of the parish of Quainton. He endowed the Trust with 'lands and tenements' to meet running costs.

Over the years, the buildings have been maintained, whilst being occupied by residents, and the endowments husbanded to provide security for them.

In 1982, the Charity Commissioners prepared a (revised) Scheme for the Administration of the Charity. Under that scheme, four trustees are appointed by Quainton Parish Council, two by Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) and one, being ex-officio, the Vicar of Quainton, or the member of the Schorne Team having special responsibility for Quainton. After a variation to the Scheme in 2019 the Trustees are empowered to co-opt up to 3 trustees to their number. On 1 April 2020 AVDC was merged into Buckinghamshire County Council (B.C.C.) who assumed the duties under the Scheme.

MAIN ACTIVITIES

The main activities of the Charity is the provision of almshouse accommodation which is supported by the commercial let of its other properties.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 7.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met; or

2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NET BOOK VALUE
At 1st January 2022 and 31st December 2022

The Winwood Almshouses were constructed in the Seventeenth Century. There is no record of the original cost and no value is attributed thereto. The above details relate to improvements carried out since 1985, which were partly funded by a Housing Corporation Grant of £145,166.

Social Housing Grant

Social Housing Grant (SHG) was paid by the Housing Corporation to reduce the cost of development and is, therefore, shown as a deduction from the cost of Housing Properties on the Balance Sheet. SHG is repayable under certain circumstances, primarily following the sale of a property but will normally be restricted to net proceeds of sale.
