The initial 15-year1¢8se to Healthcare Manageinent Trust was succeeded last yeai. by a new 10-year lease that will be in place until May 2030. At the end of 2021 three Sister5 were resident in Mai'ie Louise House. Mai'ie Louise House is managed by the Healthcare Management Trust (HMT), a registeied cliai'ity. It 15 open to people of all fgiths and none. The Home is run OD an ecuinenical basis. so sei'vices are arrdnged with the differeEit local chuirh Ininistcrs and parishioners. Like so many other nuising hoines the pandemic had a disti"essing effect on Mai'le Louise l.louse exacerbated in their case by the departure in late 2019 of the long-serving Home Manager. Initldl dtteinpts to appoint a replacement Manager were frustrated when the appointee left for p¢rsonal reasons shortly after taking up the post. Following a further recruitmcnt exerci8e a new Home Manager and Deputy Manager were appointed and have sucueeded in impi'oving the perfoi'mance and CQC. Rating of Marie Louise House.

The plltnning application was subinitted on 24 Deceinber 2019. As well as adininistsative delays caused by the pandemic the dpplication has been delayed by an environmental issue within the Soleni region. By the time ofsigning these accounts HMT had decided not to continue with the planning application that they had subinitted.

As a result they decided to exclude from the sale and leave as theii. legacy an extended site for 8t Cecilia's School as this will 5e¢ure its futuir and allow it to grow and develop in ye£irs ahead. As the presence of the Daughters cjf Wisdom in Sligo has dimini5h¢d iTi T¢ceni years, discussions are ongoing about ti'ansferring the Patronage and ti'usteeship of St Ceeilia's School to the local Bishop and DioLese. It is Iiot possible at this Stage to know with any degree of certainty when these discussions might be nclUded. The Sisters agreed dui'ing the year to support St Cecilia's School transition to independence with a donation of E5,000 fur each of the next five yeai's.

In coinmon with many r¢li&Fious Lharities who in the past have been involved in EduLaiion and medical or social care the Charity is conscious that it may be 5usLeptible to allegations of historic abusc. The Charity has, with the assi.%tance of its bi'oker, maintained a level of insiiranee cover that provides PTQtection against claiins or dctions arising frotn any such claiins.

All th¢ Sisters have devoted the whole of th¢ii' working lives to the Congregation and are dependent upon it for all theirtemporal material needs. Although SisteTS invariably continue to perform chai'itable work long past norinal retirement age if they are healthy enough to do so, the work is Inainly llon-remunei'ative and the Delegation Inust pi'ovide for their needs and in some cases nursing care. The Trustees have examined the need for free reseives i.e. those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, designated foi. Skycific purposes or otheiwise cominitted. I'he I'rustees consider that, given the nature of the Charity's wo] and its coillinitments, the level of free Teserves should be not less than twelve months expenditure. At 31 Decembei. 2021 free resei'ves represented some 22 Inonths of expenditure, which the Trustees believe 18 sufficient taking into account current plans and anticipated inflow of funds froin disposal of PlDperties that are likely to Inaterialise in the next 12 to 24 months. Key managemellt p¢r50niiel The Trustees have identified the General Manager, the Finance Manager and the Wisdom Centre Manager as the key management personnel for the Charity as ihey diiectly influence day to day operation of the whole organisaiion and its main mission activity respectively. Total salary paid to these personnel was £133,389 in 2021 {2020'. £132,795). The pay for these posts is set prioi. to appointment of the individuals paying partitular itgard to the Inarket raie for equivalent posts in other charities and non-charitable organisations. A pay review for all Ineinbers of staff, including key manageinent personnel, takes place annually during the budgeting cycle and is set pi'ineipally with reference to cost of living and inflationary pressures balanced against the Charity's prudent management of its resources in ihe context of a deficit budget. In 2021 the salary review resulted in an across the board inci'ease of 3.5D/o for all staff salaries from Januaiy 2022.
