REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Abbeyfield Sanderstead Society Limited is a registered charity (No. 233004) and a registered housing association (No. H0J69). It is a company limited by guarantee (No. 00719534) which does not have a share capital. Every member of the Society undertakes to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Society in the event of winding up. The total number of such members at 31st March 2023 was 6 (2022 - 6).

The activities of the Society are overseen by the Executive Committee. Members of the Committee are elected at an Annual General Meeting and serve for a period of three years after which they must seek re-election if wishing to continue in office.

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Traditional business and care skills are represented on the Executive Committee. In an effort to maintain this broad skill mix, potential members of the Executive Committee are requested to provide a list of their skills. In the event of particular skills being lost through retirements, individuals with those skills are approached to offer themselves for election to the Executive Committee. Potential Committee members are interviewed by the Executive Committee before being recommended for appointment at an Annual General Meeting.

New Members are given an information pack on the constitution and governance of the Society and are also taken on an induction tour of the homes to meet the managers, staff and residents. New Members have an opportunity to meet with the Executive Officer and to attend the Executive Committee meetings.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Executive Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the Society is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the Society faces. The systems of internal controls are reflected in that the Society has received the Abbeyfield Standard and has also been accredited by the Local Authority.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

To provide accommodation, care and companionship for lonely or frail elderly people in accordance with the aims and principles of The Abbeyfield Society Limited. This activity falls wholly within social housing activities as defined in the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Society has successfully fulfilled its objectives during the year. Further information detailing the achievements and performance of the Society can be found in the Chair's Report annexed hereto below.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Society incurred a small deficit for the year of £1,067 (2021 - small deficit of £1,549). The results for the year are set out in the financial statements attached.

PUBLIC BENEFIT REQUIREMENT

The Members of the Executive Committee have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission concerning the public benefit requirement.

CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT

The year has been one of change. Our House Manager Rayna Constandinou retired at the end of July 2022 after 13 years service and Relief House Manager Julie Carter appointed in her place. The Trustees accepted Sarah Cave's application for the post of Relief House Manager bringing us to the full compliment of three House Managers. Our Administrator John James retired in January 2023 after 25 years service and the Trustees were pleased to appoint Louise King to the post. In September 2022 we participated in a local networking event at St. John's Church organised by The Rotary Club. It was successful and we decided to join the Group as Business Partners. We met Alan Chitty at the event who joined us as a Trustee in November 2022. Eileen Leonard retired from her trusteeship at the end of March 2023.

After our House Manager's retirement, the Trustees decided to go ahead with a much needed refurbishment of the House Manager accommodation whilst it was vacant.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) - Charities SORP (FRS102)) and incorporating update bulletin 1, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for Social Housing in England 2012. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The functional currency of the charity is sterling (£).

The charity 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 notes.

Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.

The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories.

Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

Material prior period errors

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

Income

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Grants and Donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Directors' annual report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and Support Costs

Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Deferred income

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Social Housing Grant

The Society is in receipt of Social Housing Grants, formerly called Housing Association Grants (HAG). Where developments have been wholly or partially funded by such grants, the cost of these developments has been reduced by the value of the grant received. The value of the grant is disclosed as a separate item. These grants may be repayable in the event that the relevant property is sold by the Society, or if certain other relevant events take place, but can be rolled over into other purchase or development activities in certain circumstances.

Fixed Assets

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a reducing balance over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:

Freehold Buildings 1% Fixture, Fittings & Equipment 25%

Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
