Trustees. Report
Org8nisational structur•
The Executive Committee is resFKJnsible for the supervision of the company's acb"vib"e5. Because most
members of the Executive Committee are also members of the House Committee, the Executive
Committee only tends lo meet when there are policy decisions lo be made, governance issues to be
addressed or accounts to be approved. Full minutes of the meebngs are Qrculated lo the Trustees who
are all voluntary.
The management of the House is the resFX)nsibility of the House Committee which meets every four
weeks. The House nomially has ￿ housekeepers. one of whom 1$ on duty for four days and off duty for
three days and the other of whom is on duty for three days and off duty for four days. The House is able
to e811 on relief housekeepers if one of the main housekeepers is sick or on holiday. The housekeepers
reF)Ort lo a salaried House Manager, Delia Nicholls. The House Manager post was created following the
retirement of Fleur Read as Company Secretary. Ms Nicholls is the first incumbent, having been
appointed in May 2020. She reports to the Trustees.
Rlsk Managemènt
Following the recommendations and in compliance with the core stsndards of the company's umbrella
body, The Abbeyfield Society, volunteers cary out a health and safety risk assessment at the House
each year and regularly review support plans for the residents, making reports to the House Committee.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks lo which the company Is exposed. in particular those related
to pastoral care of very frail Tesidenls and in the management of the House lo ensure that il is a safe
environment and are satisfied that the systems and procedures are in place lo mi119ale exposure lo major
risks.
In assessing the major risks the Trustees have also taken into account the particular need for financial
control and are satisfied that the procedures they have in place are sufficiently robust.
Obje¢tlvo8 and a¢tlvitl
Objects and alms
The company is a Registered Social Landlord and ils principal activity is to provide accommodation and
support for lonely and active eldedy persons in accordance with the aims and principles of The Abbeyfield
Society Limited.
In selling objectives and planning for activities, the Truslees have given due consideration to general
guidance published by the Charity Commission relaling to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public
benefit.. running a charity IPB21'.
The aim of the Executive Committee is to athieve full occupancy. NO￿lth5￿nding long periods when the
House is fully occupied, applicant5 for places are still sought and successful applicants added to a waiting
list. Where applI￿nIS are looking for extra care. which the company is unable lo provide, they are
referred to extra care homes in the vicinty. During the year under review all the flats and the bedsil in the
House were fully occupied and there is a wailing list of applicants who have expressed an interest in
taking up oeeupation of a flat should a vacancy oeeur.

Trustees. Report
Public Benefit
Abbeyfield Du￿1Ch has had an eventfvjl 2022 to date and I have summarised the various items below.
However. il is fair to note that the House is happy and stable at this time and that we continue lo provide
a warm and caring community, ably supported by fvll and part lime staffing and a dedicated group of
volunteers on the House Committee.
Resldents
All the residents appear lo be happy and are supported well by family. fn'ends and carers. A couple of
residents are having memory andlor mobility challenges and Ihe House Committee. led by ADR and CG
with support from LF. are contsnually engaged on reviewing the options for those residents and
completing Care Plans.
JRM has been busy creating and updating a wailing list for any llatlets which may become available. This
has been an ongoing task with considerable liaison required.
Health
We had one case of Covid-19 over Christrna$ 2021 when one of our housekeepers tested positive.
Considerable rallying around by membets of the House Committee meant that the enforced absence of
the housekeeper was managed very well.
Sadly, after several months of decline. Eileen Hayes died in April. This was a shock lo several of the
residents who had become Close to her and was preceded by a difficult lime when ¢ommuni¢ation and
management of the Supporting healthcare servi¢e$ from King's and Southwark look up a considerable
amount of volunteer lime
Housekeeper8
Judith Butler tendered her resignation lo us in January after a c￿nsIderable period of uncertainty in her
personal life and in the House. She left us in April after an extended notse£ period which suited all pa￿'e$.
The House Committee reviewed options for improving the shift pattem given JB'S resignation and
consulted with Rowena Chapman. the remaining housekeeper. A new rolling four days on, four days off
rola was decided upon which considerably improved RC'S remuneration whilst reducing her hours of
work. However, RC was not amenable lo this change and wanted a more exclusive contract. The House
Committee did not feel that this would be in the best interests of the operation of the House and this
prompted RC lo resign.
The House Committee were unanimous in accepting the resignation and were prepared to support
catering and the House Manager in filling the tssks gap. Local and national advertising produced a
number of candidates who were interviewed by Delia Nicholls, Andrew Fletcher and the Chair. As this
pr￿sS progressed, agency staff were employed for several weeks to help lo provide cover al mealtimes.
Although relatively expensive, this proved to be extremely useful in further defining the right personalities
to fill our vacancies. The House Manager was very proactive in securing and managing the temporary
cooks and also found a local carer who then slepped in lemporarily to work full time, replacing the
temporary cooks at a more economical pay rate.
Two Housekeeper candidates were selected and Pauline Whiffield and Karen Birchenough joined us in
May and July respectively. Both HK'S live in at the top of 89 and 91 Slradella Road and have been
advised that they are offered the accommodation to better perfomi their duties.

Trustees. Report
Buildings
Whilst the maintenance programme has being taking place as usual, DN and AF led a project to refurbish
the HKS flats. Given the scale and extent of the expenditure, it was decided that funds could be released
from the Reserves lo cary out the works. The results are very posib've and has helped in the reeruitment
of the new HKS.
There is 8 note in the Treasurerfs rewrt about the refurbishment.
A new resident will move into Flat 5 in September and, to secure the flat, half rental payments for July and
August were negobated with the incoming lady. This has helped to soften our void period losses.
Finances
RH'S report is being sent out separatety and will expand on the year lo date. Nevertheless. diligent
planning for this year's costs and the use of investment income has helped us to manage the budget well.
The House Committee receive the cost breakdown monthly and corrective action, if needed, is proposed
and actioned after the HC meetings.
2022123 is already looking to be a challenge in respect of energy costs and we will be reviewing actions
that could help us maintain a stsble budget. This may mean a considerable increase in resident rents and
will need lo be the subject of extensive communication.
Evgnts
A summer party, a visit from Edmund de Waal, a Jubilee party, a visrt from a world champion bagpiper
and an outing lo Du￿1Ch Picture Gallery took place amongst other smaller activities for the residents
earlier this year. We would like lo expand this type of activity going forward.
Houso Committ00
Thanks go to the HC for their generous and kind support of the Abbeyfield DuNvich. Thomas Raikes has
stepped down from the Committee and leaves with our thanks. Katherine Morris has joined us and is
helping with a wide range of ideas and plans.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial slatemenls. we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the financial stslements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material Un￿rtaIntieS 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 ￿e1ve months from when the original financial
statements were authorised for issue.

the relevant sections of this report.

included in the annual report, other than the finan¢ial ststemenls and our auditor's report thereon. Our

olhemise expli¢illy slated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assurance ¢on¢lusion thereon.

and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomation is materially inconsislenl with the fi'nancial
slalemenls or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstsled. If we
identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misslalemenls, we are required lo determine
whether there is a material misslalement in the financial statements or a material misslalemenl ol the

misstatement of this other infomialion, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing lo report in this regard.
Opinlon on other matter prescribed by the Companlès Act 2006

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Stslement of Iruslees. responsibilities (set out on page 61, the trustees are
responsible for the preparation of the financial stslements and for being satisfied that they give a true and
fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees delemiine is necessary lo enable the preparation of
financial slalemenls that are free from material misstatement. whether due lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial stslements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing. a5 applicable. matters related lo going concem 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 alternab.ve but to do 50.
Audltor responslbilltles for the audSt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whelhei the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misslatemenl. whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurarbce. but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will a￿ayS detect a malenal misslatemenl when Il exists.
Misslalemenls can anse from fraud or error and are considered matenal if, individually or in the
aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis ol these financial slalemenls.
We design pro¢edure$ in line with our ￿SPonSIbl11t1e$. outlined above, to dele¢t material misslalemenls in
respect of irregularities, including fraud. The key laws and regulations we have considered in this context
included the Companies Act 2006, pension and tsx legislation. In addition, we have considered provisions
of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial slalements bul ¢omplian¢e
with which may be fundamental lo the companls ability lo operate or lo avoid a material penalty.
The exlenl lo which our procedures are capable of delectsng itregularilies, including fraud is detailed
below..
Using our general comrnercial and sector experience and through discussions with the d1￿ctorS and
management, we identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected lo have a
material effect on the financial statements as well as those arising from management's own
assessment of the risks that irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or error.
We examined the company s regulatory and legal Corresponden￿ and discussed with the directors
and management any known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
We communicated i¢Jenlified laws and regulalions and potential fraud risks lo all engagement team
members and remained alert lo any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations
throughout the audit.
In addressing the risk of management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal
entries. We also challenged assumptions and judgements made by management in their signifi'cant
accounting estimates and judgements
Page 9

The Abbeyfield Dulwich Society Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Abbeyfield Dulwich Society
Limited
There are inherent limrtatTons in the audit procedures described above and the further removed
non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the fi'nancial
stalemenls, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also. the risk of not deleeb'ng a material
misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not deleeb'ng one from error, as fraud may involve
deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentsonal misrepresentslion, or through c£)Ilusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on Ihe Financial Reporting Council's website al..
www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI. we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audiL We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misstslement of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud
or error, design and perfomi audit procedures responsive lo those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misslalemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentslions, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of inlemal control relevant lo the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the twstees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees use of the going cOn￿M basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubl on the chanty's ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to
the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit eviden￿ obtsined up to the date of our auditor's
report. However. future events or conditsons may cause the charity to cease lo conts'nue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentslion, structure and content of the financial stalemenls, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the undedying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audrt evidence regarding the financial infomation of the entities or
business activities within the Charity to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are
responsible for the direcbon, supervision and perfomanee of the charity audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with govemance regarding, among Other matters, the planned
scope and liming of the audit and significant audil findings. including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.

Flnanclal instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a paty to the
contractual provisions of the inslrumenl.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according lo the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the
assets of the charity after deducting all of ils liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilib.es are inilialty measured at transaction pnce (including transaction coslsl,
ex￿p1 for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profil or loss. which are initially
measured at fair value (which is nomially the transaction price excluding transaction coslsl. unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing Iransaclion. If an arrangement constitutes a financing Iransaclion, the
financial asset or financial liability is measured al the present value of the future payments discounted al
a market rate of intere51 for a 51milar debt Instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Statement of financial posibon when, and only when
there exists a legally enforceable right to sel off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to
settle on a nel basis, or lo realise the asset and setue the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are dere¢ognised when and only when a) the conlra¢lual rights to the cash flows from
the financial asset expire or are settled. bl the Charity transfers to another paty subslanlially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. or ¢1 the charity. despite having retained some, bul
not all, significant ri$k$ and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilitie$ are derecogni$ed only when the obligalion specified in the contract is discharged,
¢an¢elled or expires.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022
Debt instruments
Debt instruments which meet the following condib.ons are subsequenuy measured at amorbsed cost using
the effecb've interest method_.
lal The contractual return lo the holder is lil 2 fixed amount," (ill a positive fixed rale or a positive variable
rate", or liiil a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a posib've variable rate.
Ibl The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder Ibut not tx)thl to be
linked lo a single relevant observable index of general price inflats.on of the currency in which the debt
instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.
1¢) The ¢ontra¢t may provide for a detemiinable varialion of the relum lo the holder during the life of the
inslrumenl, provided that lil the new rate satisfies Condition lal and the variation is not contingent on
future events other than111 a change of a contractual variable rate", 121 lo protect the holder against credit
delerioralion of the issuer," 131 changes in levies applied by a Central bank or arising from changes in
relevant tsxalion or law,. or (ill the new rate is a mafket rate of interest and satisfies condition la}.
Idl There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal
amount or any interest attnbulable lo the Current period or prior periods.
lel Conlraclual provisions that permit the issuer lo prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put il
back lo the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than lo protect the holder
against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or
issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or
law.
(Q Conlraclual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt inslrumenl, provided that the
return lo the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended temi satisfy the
conditions of paragraphs lal to Icl.
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on inits'al recognition and
which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounled amount of the cash or other
consideration expected lo be paid or received, net of impaimienl.
With the exception of some hedging instruments. other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are
measured at fair value through profil or loss.
Commitments lo make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured al
cost (which may be nill less impairment.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022
Investments
Inve51ment5 in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preferen￿ shares (where
shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through
profit or loss. Where fair value eannot be measured reliably. investrnents are measured at cost less
impairment.
Inve$lment$ in Subsidiaries and asso¢iate$ a￿ measured at ¢ost less impairment For inve$tmenl$ in
subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is
measured by reference lo the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration.
Any premium is ignored.
Derlvative flnanclal Instruments
The charity uses derivative financial instnjments to reduce exposure lo foreign exchange risk and interest
rale movements. The charity does not hold or issue denvatwe financial instruments for speculative
purposes.
Derivati'ves are initially recognised al fair value al the date a denvalive contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting dale. The resulting gain or loss is
recognised in slalement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging inslrumenl, in which event the liming of the recognition in stslemenl of fi'nancial
activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
Falr value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an Hjentical asset in an acts've market. When quoted
prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an Identical asset provides evidence of fair
value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse
of lime since the transaction look place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical
asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value. the fair value is estimated by using a valuation
technique.
