INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PORTSMOUTH AND DISTRICT FRIENDLY SOCIETIES HOMES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 2 to 8.
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 required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provision 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 2015).
Objectives and activities
The aim of the Friendly Societies Homes is to provide accommodation for necessitous people over the age of 60 with a preference for those who are members of Friendly Societies and their widows, living in the area of benefit for five years and able to live independently. The area of benefit is within a 15 mile radius from the Guildhall in the city of Portsmouth.
The main objective of the trustees in recent years has been to bring the housing stock of flats up to a suitable and acceptable standard in today’s market. There are five blocks of flats on the ground floor and first floor only. There are no lifts at the Homes. Following the modernisation and refurbishment, there are a total of 25 flats at the Homes now having been reduced from the original 32 bedsit flats, with flat 88 becoming an office with planning permission in 2016.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees refer to public benefit throughout this report.
Activities, achievement and performance
In March 2022 an agreement was made with Portsmouth Rotary Housing Association (PRHA) for PRHA to manage the Almshouses on behalf of the charity. The trustees continued to agree upgrades and modernisation of the Almshouses ensuring that the accommodation complies with landlord safety obligations, is secure and well maintained.
Repairs and Maintenance expenditure increased by 21% compared to the previous year. The increase is attributed in the main to the increase in the cost of labour and materials experienced by the housing sector due to ongoing global economic instability and high UK inflation during the year.
New software finance and property management software was introduced during the year as part of the modernisation of the charity’s administration.
At year end the charity remained financially secure with a strong with a cash at bank position of £437,068, and increase of 6% compared to the previous year. The good financial position of the charity will enable the charity to plan for the future including ensuring the dwellings are energy efficient and meet the requirements of net zero legislation.
The trustees are would like to thank Michelle Lincoln and PRHA staff for delivering an excellent service to the residents and supporting. The Trustees also send their thanks to contractors involved in ensuring the properties are maintained to a good standard.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 (continued)
The trustees will hold a minute’s silence to remember our residents who passed away during the year at our next AGM.

Financial review
Morris Crocker accountants conducted an Independent Examination of the charity’s accounts details of which form part of this report.
A donation was received from the Ancient Order of Foresters (Southampton) in the sum of £3565.

This money will be used to further update the Homes for the benefit of the residents. The trustees would also like to remind residents of the benefits of belonging to the Foresters or Manchester Odd Fellows as they do provide social events for members and can help with welfare grants when members are in need.

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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - nil Office equipment - 20% on reducing balance
Freehold property is reflected in the accounts at original cost. Having regard to the estimated useful economic life and residual value, the Trustees consider that a provision for depreciation is not required.
Investments
Investments are included at market value and the unrealised gain or loss is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Funds 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PORTSMOUTH AND DISTRICT FRIENDLY SOCIETIES HOMES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 2 to 8.
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 required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provision 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 2015).
Objectives and activities
The aim of the Friendly Societies Homes is to provide accommodation for necessitous people over the age of 60 with a preference for those who are members of Friendly Societies and their widows, living in the area of benefit for five years and able to live independently. The area of benefit is within a 15 mile radius from the Guildhall in the city of Portsmouth.
The main objective of the trustees in recent years has been to bring the housing stock of flats up to a suitable and acceptable standard in today’s market. There are five blocks of flats on the ground floor and first floor only. There are no lifts at the Homes. Following the modernisation and refurbishment, there are a total of 25 flats at the Homes now having been reduced from the original 32 bedsit flats, with flat 88 becoming an office with planning permission in 2016.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees refer to public benefit throughout this report.
Activities, achievement and performance
In March 2022 an agreement was made with Portsmouth Rotary Housing Association (PRHA) for PRHA to manage the Almshouses on behalf of the charity. The trustees continued to agree upgrades and modernisation of the Almshouses ensuring that the accommodation complies with landlord safety obligations, is secure and well maintained.
Repairs and Maintenance expenditure increased by 21% compared to the previous year. The increase is attributed in the main to the increase in the cost of labour and materials experienced by the housing sector due to ongoing global economic instability and high UK inflation during the year.
New software finance and property management software was introduced during the year as part of the modernisation of the charity’s administration.
At year end the charity remained financially secure with a strong with a cash at bank position of £437,068, and increase of 6% compared to the previous year. The good financial position of the charity will enable the charity to plan for the future including ensuring the dwellings are energy efficient and meet the requirements of net zero legislation.
The trustees are would like to thank Michelle Lincoln and PRHA staff for delivering an excellent service to the residents and supporting. The Trustees also send their thanks to contractors involved in ensuring the properties are maintained to a good standard.

Financial review
Morris Crocker accountants conducted an Independent Examination of the charity’s accounts details of which form part of this report.
A donation was received from the Ancient Order of Foresters (Southampton) in the sum of £3565.

The trustees would also like to remind residents of the benefits of belonging to the Foresters or Manchester Odd Fellows as they do provide social events for members and can help with welfare grants when members are in need.

PDFSH need a reserve to enable planning for long term property maintenance obligations and to continue to be able to further the objectives of the charity.

Dear Sirs
Portsmouth and District Friendly Societies Homes
We confirm that the following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience (and, where appropriate, of inspection of supporting documentation) sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can properly make each of the following representations to you in connection with your Independent Examination of the charity's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
GENERAL
-
1 We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees under the Charity Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and applicable Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)(effective 1 January 2015), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you. All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your Independent Examination and all the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. All other records and related information, including minutes of all management and trustees meetings, have been made available to you.
-
2 The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.
-
3 We believe that the effects of uncorrected misstatements are immaterial both individually and in total.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND FRAUD
- 4 We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of internal control systems to prevent and detect fraud and error. We have disclosed to you the results of our risk assessment that the financial statements may be misstated as a result of fraud. We have disclosed to you all instances of known or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving management, employees who have a significant role in internal control or others that could have a material effect on the financial statements. We have also disclosed to you all information in relation to allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the charity’s financial statements communicated by current or former employees, analysts, regulators or others.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- 5 The charity has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charity’s assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
3
-
6 We have recorded or disclosed, as appropriate, all liabilities, both actual and contingent, and have disclosed in the notes to the financial statements all guarantees that we have given to third parties.
-
7 We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
- 8 Significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.
LOANS AND ARRANGEMENTS
- 9 The charity has not granted any advances or credits to, or made guarantees on behalf of, trustees other than those disclosed in the financial statements.
LEGAL CLAIMS
- 10 We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
- 11 We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements.
RELATED PARTIES
- 12 Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with the requirements of Charities SORP (FRS 102).
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-
13 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
-
14 We confirm that there had been no events since the balance sheet date which require disclosure or which would materially affect the amounts in the financial statements, other than those already disclosed or included in the financial statements.
GOING CONCERN
- 15 We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
Yours faithfully
Portsmouth and District Friendly Societies Homes
