Re forthe Year Ended 30th Se ember 2024 Strategic report structure* govemance and management Constltutlon The company is rÈgistered as a charitablÈ company limited by zu3rantÈÉ and was set up by a Memorandum and ArtitlÈs of A550ciation on 20 August 1963. The principal object of the company Is the establishment and management of houses for the elderly in accordance with the zim5 and principles of The Abbeyfield Society Limited. Recruitment and appointment of trustees The rnanagement of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the te5 of the Article5 of A55ociation. Inductlon and tralnlng of trustees Beyond basic indurtion procedures, no formal training is provided. However, the Chairman has ertensive senior commercial experience and one of the Tru5tee5 IA Butlerl 15 a Kinds Counsel. The Treasurer, Roger Humbles, ran B succe55ful bu5ine55 as 3 pharmacist for many years. OrBanlsatlonal structure The Trustees Committee Is responsible for the supervislon of the company's attivitles. Because several of the members of the Trustees Committee are also members of the House Cornmittee, the Trustees Cotnmittee only tends to meet when there ère policv decisions to be Made, governance issue5 to be 3ddre55ed or accounts to be approved or six monthly, should there be no pressing reason to meet ad hoc. Full minutes of the meetings are circulated to the Trustees who are all voluntary. They are also updated by email for lower level matters during the course of the year. The management of the House is the responsibility of the House Committee which meets every four weeks. The House normally has two housekeepers. They are on duty four days on, four days off and mirror each other's schedule. The House is able to call on relief housekeepers if one of the main housekeepers is sick or on holiday. The housekeepers report to 3 S81aried House Manager, Deli8 Nicholls. Ms Nicholls has been in post since May 2020 and reportsto the chair of the TrusteÈs. Risk management Following the recommendations and in compliance with the core standards of the company's umbrella body, The Abbeyfield Society, volunteers rrY out 8 health and safety risk assessment at the house each ye8r and regularly review support p18ns for the residents. making reports to the House Committee. The House commlttee regularly revlew the Rlsk RegSster at their meetlngs. The Trustees have assessed the malor risks to whlch the company is exposed, in particular those related to pastoral ¢are of very frail residents and in the management of the House to ensure that it Is a safe environment and are satisfied th3t the systems and procedure5 are in place to rnitig3te exposure to rn3jor risks. In assessing the major risks the Trustees have also tsken into account the particular need for financial control and are satisfied that the proceduresthey have in place are sufficiently robust. Objertives and actileS Objectives and aims The company is a Registered 5oci81 L8ndlord and its principal 8Ctivity is to provide accommodation and support for lonely and active elderly persons in accordènce with the aims and principles of The AbbeyField Society Lirnited.

Abb ield Dulwich SoEie Lirnited he Trustees. Re forthe Year Ended 30th Se ember 2024 The aim of the Executive Committee 15 to achieve full occupancy. Notwithstanding long periods when the House is fvlly occupied, applicants for places are still sought and successful applicants added to a waiting list. Where applicants are looking for extra care, which the company Is unable to provlde, they are referred to exrra care homes In the vlcinlty. Introduclion Once again our ye3r h35 been busy with a variety of activities a huge marketing push to try to fill two v3c3ncies. There has also been a much more significant need to carry out refurbishment and repair projects and this has meant that our staff and volunteers have been working very hard. More detail is set out In the text below. Overall, AbbeyField Dulwich continues to be a kindly. efficient and caring organisation, with dedicated and well organised staff and volunteers. Resldents We have seen some slgnlficant changes to our resident population in the last year and this trend has contlnued until the most recent months. We had five residents lout of seven flatletsl at the end of our Financial Year. We introduced as mèny external visits and attivities as we could to add in extra interest to enh8nce the overall 8tmosphere in the House. To assist in the 51nooth-running of the house we have introduced a Quarterly House Meeting that Delia (House Man38erl and Paul Ichairl attend with the resident5. This discipline a150 helps Wlth the requirement5 of the Housing Ombudsman. The Housekeepers are also Invited to attend when their duties allow. At these meetings we listen to residents, ideas about the House In a more formal context and hear what they might like to change or improve. It has also been a good forum to exp18in any projerts we believÈ should be progresd and thereby supports the attivities that the House Committee undertake. Minutes are taken and iirculated to all. Health Several of our residents have longer term chronic illnesses which will result in their moving on from our House. These situations are m8naged with each resident 8nd their fèmilylsponsor in a swnpathetic and constructive manner. Vacanry management We continue to receive enquirie5 from prospective residents and market Abbeyrield Dulwich's offer locally as this h35 been the best Source of new leads. We operate a waiting list and interact regularlywith candidates on that list. staffing Our housekeepers, Pauline and Karen, continued to provide very good information and ideas to support the welfare of our residents. The stèndard of the meals thèt they prepare is excellent and the response by the residents Is very f3vourable. Both HKS att as 'eyes and ears, on any particular issues that are Coming up and have been instrumental in smoothing over the tensions mentioned above. Delia, our Hou Manager, h35 been working very hard this year dealing with rnuch of the burden to manage the changeover of flatlet5 from one resident to another. The general 3dmini5tr3tion for the charity is 3150 very extensive and so my thanks to her, in particular, for her positive and constructive approach to all these tasks. Buildings We have a numberof projettsthat we have completed or are considering forthe House.. These are.. Completed.

Finance5 Our financial p051tion remains Stable despite the void periods noted above. This is because our investments with Rathbones are producing a good return and these sums bridge the gap in our rental income. Thank you to Glyn Abbott for managing these investments. Roger Humbles has produced a budget for 2024125 and it has been approved by all the Trustees. always, this has been an exercise which he h45 rrIed out with a great deal of thoughtfulness and diligence. As 8 particular note to this budget it should be highlighted that we 8re only budgeting for a IO% void in our room occup8ncy next year. Although the actual vacancy % is closer to 28%, we note that the Regulator of Soclal Housing Ilmits our ablllty to ralse funds vSa rents to CPI plus 1%. We will establish a development fund during the year to finance buildings projects. Thi5 sum of £IOOk has been the source of fund5 for the projects above and Is part of the legacy received from Frank Ralfe, 3 former Trustee. We were fortunate to receive 3 large legacy from his estate of E462,565 in December 2023 which has enabled us to plan these improvements to our premises and fèciliries. It has allowed us to consider investing in the offer and the fabric of the buildings aside from the regular income from our Rathbones investments. GA, RH and I continued to monitor our Rathbones investment profile to decide whether to reduce our risk rating. Whilst we are not significantly exposed, we do wish to man8ge our market investments so that we can preserve our values as much as possible for the longer term. Investing in our staff, the 2023124 accounts a150 show £4,437 for Delia's law iour5e Iwith a Sum of £8,886 planned in 20241251- Thi5 will a150 allow the charity to better understand the latest and best methods of governance in the sector as well as providing valuable continuing professional development for her. We remained vigilant on costs this last year and reminded residents and Housekeepers to practice good enew management in particular. We have reviewed the budget and actual at the House Committee monthly meetings and have tsken correttive action if needed. Abbeyneld England We remain affiliated to Abbeffield England, as it Is now known, following a reorganisation and restructure. Events Games and jigsaws sessions have taken place most weeks. These are supported by volunteers and a welcomed by a core of residents. We had 3 Small 5umrner party in july for residents, familie5 and volunteer5 and it was notable for the rel3Ked atmosphere and friendliness.
