## **The Hospital of King James in Gateshead** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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** 

The charity's main objective is the provision of accommodation to almspeople in the Gateshead area. It administers the running of sheltered flats and owns a portfolio of  residential properties. The committee of the trustees meet regularly to consider all matters regarding the running of the charity. 

## **How we benefit the public** 

As an almshouse, the charity exists to provide accommodation for those who are elderly or disadvantaged in the Gateshead area. Key to achieving this is providing a safe and caring environment for those who live at the hospital. There is a full time warden who lives on site who is there to ensure the wellbeing of all residents. Regular social events and activities are held for the enjoyment of the residents. 

Whilst the charity charges its residents weekly maintenance contributions for staying at the hospital, this rent is very much below market rates of accommodation for a similar standard of accommodation with warden support. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Incoming resources for the year totalled £280,315 (2022: £252,603), which included rents of £127,290 (2022: £119,146) and other investment income of £6,503 (2022 :£8,517).  Income from the Hospital itself amounted to £149,416 (2022: £124,507). 

The charity recorded a surplus of £89,252 (2022: deficit £667) for the year. This includes net recognised gains/losses of £20,698 (2022: losses £89,432) in respect of changes in the values of properties and investments. 

The trustees consider the charity's financial performance to be satisfactory. Investments made by the charity are held in accordance with the trustees' powers.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy** 

The Charity aims to hold liquid reserves equivalent to at least three months of expenditure. 

The reserves of the charity totalled £2,701,791 (2022:£2,619,849) at the end of the year. These reserves are used as follows:- 

£1,764,539 on investment property which are are held to generate income to replace the almshouse when it needs to be rebuilt, and also help towards running costs. 

£237,265 in investments representing the recoupment funds . These funds are used to build up capital for when the almshouse needs to be rebuilt or major refurbishment work is needed. 

£8,326 invested for the Extraordinary Repair fund to be used for major repairs, improvement or rebuilding. 

£692,897 in investments representing the general fund. These funds are used to hold unrestricted reserves to be used in the general running of the charity. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Many of the units in the almshouse have now been refurbished, and while the building will be kept in good repair, no substantive improvements will be made while our development plan is under way. We have obtained Planning Permission to develop the Recreation Ground but have been declined Registered Provider (RP) status because we considered the risks in accepting surrender of the Recreation Ground lease before we had contracted its sale were too high due to problems with the ground. We are negotiating with an RP with similar objectives to ourselves who wishes to develop the site, as inflation and high interest rates have put the project beyond our reach. 

We continue to prepare less ambitious plans to refurbish our current building by removing the asbestos and upgrading the energy rating. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity was formed in or around the year 1245 and is constituted by various governing documents over the years, including a Royal Charter of 1611, Act of Parliament of 1811 and  its current governing document, a charity scheme of 1970, a resolution of 5 October 2023 and a letter from the Charity Commission dated 12 April 2024.. It is a registered charity, number 229942. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The sole trustee of the Charity is King James Almshouses, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered charity number 1198062. King James Almshouses holds no assets. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The charity is run on a day to day basis by the Master of the charity and the Warden. The Trustees of the parent Charity meet at least four times a year, and more regularly as necessary to deal with strategic matters and to authorise expenditure. Decisions can be made using electronic communication. 

## **Estate Management** 

Estate management services to the Hospital of King James are provided by Sarah Mains Property Consultants, who undertake the day to day management of the private residential portfolio of behalf of the charity. This includes but is not limited to dealing with all tenant enquiries, rent collection and property issues such as statutory testing.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Hospital of King James in Gateshead** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Hospital of King James in Gateshead (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023 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). 

- In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 charity 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 charity'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. 

Page 5 



**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of The Hospital of King James in Gateshead** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are 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 unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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: 

Based on our knowledge of the charity, we identified that the principal risks of non compliance with laws and regulations related to non-compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and we considered what effect non compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements. 

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities to carry out fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and determined that the principal risk was the reduction in rental income being received. 

- Audit procedures carried out by the engagement team included: 

- Analytical review of rents received comparing total income to possible potential income. 

- Review of individual transactions for a sample of properties. 

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.

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included in market value. 

The financial statements have been 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. The Trustees have considered a period of 12 months from the balance sheet date and consider no further disclosure relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made. 

Hospital of King James meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The financial accounts are prepared in Sterling (£). 

## **Significant estimates and judgements**

The charity has applied the following accounting policies: 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **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.
