FEOFFEES. REPORT
for the year ended 31 March 2025
Structure. Governance and Management
The Charity was established in 1506 under the will of Thomas Bond and 15 constituted as an unincorporated
aSS￿latIon being governed primarity by a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 9th August 2002. 11 was
estsblished lo endow the Almshouses of Bond's Hospital, now incorporated into Bond's and Ford's Hospital
Charity. This involves the rnaintenan￿ of the existing Almshouses, their refurbishment and the provision of
further accommodation
The adminislralion of the Charity is vested in five ¢cFoplalive Feoffees and three Feoffees nominated by
Coventry City Council The co-optative Feoffees are chosen by the existing Feoffees, being people considered
lo have a particular Interest In the work of the Charity or knowledge and experEnce likely to assist in ils Proper
adminislralion. No Feoffee re￿iVeS any remuneration.
Firms of Chartered SurveyDrfs, Solicrtors and Stockbrokers advise the Feoffees with Philip Cowen, a Partner of
the firm of Chartered Surveyor's filling the role as Clert( lo the Charity. All report lo the meetings of the Feoffees,
normalty held at quarterly intervals, when recommendations are made, and decisions taken. Be￿een meetings,
decisions on matters of lesser importance are tsken by the Chairman, with routine decisions Con￿rning building
maintenance elc. and the general 8dminislralion of the Charity being delegated to the Clerk.
The Feoffees monitor the strategic, business, and operational risks which the Charity faces and have systems
and adopted processes in place lo control the possible impact of these risks so that ne￿SSary steps lo obviate
them can be taken.
Objectives and Activities
The primary objective of the Charity is lo generate income for Bond's and Ford's Hospital Charity. The Feoffees
have no discretion as lo the distribution of any surplus incorne generated during the year which, in accordan
with its Scheme, is either wholly or partly distributed lo that beneficiary Charity las now administered by
Coventry Church (Municipall Charities). In some years any balance from the distribution can be held on the
beneficiary Charity'5 behalf pending a request for a subsequent dislribub'on towards its work.
During the year £362,71512024. £337,386) was distributed to Coventry Church (Municipall Chanlies to support
its activities and the Objects of that Charity, Including its loan repayment liabilities following the recent completion
of 45 new Almshouses comprising the Bond's Lodge development in 2021 This represented a 7.50/0 year on
year Increase. It Is understood with the beneficiary Charty that the di51ribulion is not spent on day-lo-day
operational matters bul is directed towards a reduction in that Charity's borrowings. In eX￿pIlOn lo this, parts of
the distribution have on occasions been used for capital projects, subject lo the prior agreement of this Charity.
We understand that the funds which We￿ distributed during the year were directed towards the purchase of bNO
properties on Hill Street in Coventy, with the iemainder being invested with the CCLA.
The investrllenl pOI￿Y of the Feoffees is lo provide 3 steadily increasing surplus income for distribution coupled
with reasonable capital growth and proper security of inveslmenL The Feoffees, investment powers are
governed by a Scheme dated 28th ju￿ 2000 which largety replicates the Trustee Act 2000. The Feoffees
believe that their investment aims can best be achieved by holding a fflixtu￿ of agricultural, residential and
commercial pmperties along with a stock market investment F)Ortfolio, the balan￿ bebNeen these will vary
depending upon the circumstances prevailing and, the Feoffees believe that this policy will avoid the Charity
being exposed to major risks There have been no changes to this policy during the past year and the Feoffees
consider that it remains appropriate.
Following receipt of aboLJt £6m in January 2025 from the Pr￿eedS of the Bulkington land development sale, the
Feoffees will be revEwing the investment policy during 202512026 to ensure that the balance of assets and
associated risk remains appropriate lo the Objects of the Charity and enables enhanced distribub'ons for its
beneficiary in future years. The Charity is not dependent upon any donab'ons or any other fDfm of fund raising,
nor is it dependent upon the support of any individuals. The Charity does not engage the seNices of any
volunteers.
The Feoffees confirm that they have referred lo the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when
reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and In planning future actThiities.

Achievements and Performance
The Feoffees have continued to manage the assets of the Trust in a structured and coordinated manner, whilst
following the adopted Investment strategy and taking the neGes5ary actions lo ensure that the Object of the
Charity continued lo be achieved. During the year, Income rose by 1.7'/0 to ex￿ed £460,000, in part as a result
of increased dividend income from the inveslrrenl portfolio and interest on bank deposits. Rental income from
property assets showed a marginal reduction in Income year on year, mainly due lo the Penny Collard Centre
having lo be re-marketed following an initial abortive Te-letting process. Dividend income from the investment
portfolio has shown a year-on-year increase of 20Q/o. with rental income from both comrnercial and agricultural
investmenis having remained broadly static during the year.
The combined Portrolio is managed on a proactive basis by the Feoffees to deliver a con51slent level of income
return with simultaneous capital growth. The Feoffees met lor three Board meets'ngs during the year, with a
fourth meeting based on 8 sile visit lo the Kinelon Estate Achieving a balance be￿een the key pillar5 of
income and capitsl 9rowlh, whilst meeting the Charity's obligations and liabilities without exposing the Charity lo
undue risk remain challenging, bul considerable focu5 has been directed towards both the long-lerm investment
strategy and the continuous assessment of risk. Wlh inllab"onary presSu￿S remaining within the economy al
large, and Bank of England base rates only reducing from S.250/o to 4.50/0 by the financial year end, the
prevailing economic conditions within the UK remain challenging.
Very sadly, Andrew Gillitt passed away in December 2024 having only become a Feoffee about 10 months
earlier, and all those involved with the Charity pass on their condolences to his family at Andrew's loss so shortly
after he had retired from a successful business career. The Charity was also sad lo lose the input of Sylvia Forte
in May 2025 following a distinguished peTiod of 28 years as a Feoffee. Ms Forte's contribution to both this
Charity and Ils beneficiary was widely acknowledged on her rel1￿Ment. The Feoffees were delighted lo wel￿￿￿e
lan Gfindal a5 a new Feoffee in July 2025.
As part of the periodic ￿VIeW of the Charity's investments. its advisers at Brewin Dolphin produce and monitor
an ESG Risk Score lo measure the degree lo which the undertying investment's economic value may be al risk
driven by material environmental, social and governance factors. The Portfolio has perfomied consislenlly al
lowlmedium level of risk in that respect In addition. the Portfolio's exposure to carbon intensive businesses is
monitored through Brewin Dolphin'5 carbon intensity index, to reflect the weighted average of each company,
carbon emissions within the Portfolio, divided by their annual sales. The index identifies that the Portfolio holds
low carbon intensity rating in the year lo March 2025. The total return from the Investment Portfolio during the
year was 1.64Vo, although following a degree of restructuring of the portfolio, the Feoffees were pleased to note
further 230h year on year rise in dividend payments.
During Autumn 2024 terms were concluded with Vistry Homes for the sale of the Charity's land al Home Farm,
Bulkinglon which benefited from a planning consent for the construction of the 149 dwellings on a gile ol about
18 acres. The net oceipt lo the Charity, following the deduction of direct costs incurred up to the date of the sale,
was £6.018m with a further conditional retention of £83,333 relating lo aceess arrangements for the site. The
sale completed on 23r¢ January 2025 and is now under construction by Bovis Homes. This was a significant
milestone from the Charity's perspective following a journey of more than 10 years. The impact of this sale on
the Charity's balance sheet is significant and is clearly shown in the accompanying Financi81 Statements.
In addition to the land at 8ulkinglon, the Charity continues lo actively promote strategic opportunities for
sidential and commercial development of ils land holdings al each stage of the relèvant planning processes,
with particular focus towards L¢xal Plan reviews and public consullalion exerciseg. Other allern8twe uses,
Including renew8ble energy schemes are also progressed where opportunities arise The Charity continues lo
work with its development partner Gladman Developments in respect of a parcel of land on The Acton Hill
Eslale. A planning consent for the enlargement of Blacklands Bungalow was granted in November 2024, and it
Is anlicipaled that further progress will be made with this sile during 202512026 which is likely to include a
planning application for the re- siting and repla￿ment of the existing dwelling.

Achlevements and Performance (continued)
Arrangements were concluded with the agricultural tenant of Manor Farm, Lawford Heath for a significant joint
investment by landlord and tenant into that holding to Improve the live51ock facilities al the farm. The project
benefi'ted from substsntial grant funding and will be of long-lerm benefit in terms of animal welfare, the
environment and future operating arrangements at the farm. The first phase of the project was completed in
earty 2025 to which the Charity made a one-off investment of £40,000 on conditional terms. A second phase lo
this work will ft)Ilow during 202512026.
The Charity's commercial properties conb.nue to be managed on a proactive basis, with routine matters handled
as needs require Although an Initial letting of The Penny Collard Centre proved abortive during Autumn 2024,
terms were subsequenlty agreed with a Coventry-based Charity, Ego, who are a local arts- orienlaled
organisation. Their lease of the premises commenced In February 2025. Tems were also agreed with Godfrey
Payton for their lease of Old Bablake to be renewed for a further 5-ye8r term from December 2024. The
Feoffees also considered a number of potential commercial propety investment opportunities during the year,
although that none were progressed prior to the year end.
Financial Review
The Feoffees carry out five yearly capital revaluations of their properties, however. since they have no powers
to distribute any of the assets comprising of the endowed capital, any revaluations of the fi'xed assets will not
affect the income available for distribution by the Feoffees. The assets are next due for ￿VIeW as at March
2026.
The investments held on the Stock Market are managed by Brewin Dolphin on a discretionary basis and the
Portfolio has performed In line with the industry benchmark and the Feoffees, expectations.
The overall income from rents and investments was £460,173 12024.. £452,385) Expenditure in the year
amounted to £476,93912024. £441,225), which included a distribution of £362,715 12024. £337,386) lo the
Charity s benefi¢iary.
The total unreslricled surplus for the year was £3,139 following a beneficiary distribution of £362,715 {2024'.
unreslricled surplus of £25,329 after a distribution of £337.386). The Accumulated Income Iunreslrictedl Fund
at 3151 March 2025 stands at £365,854, which therefore shows a small increase in the income which is
available lor distribution lo the beneficiary Charity on adoption of the accounts.
R￿gNeS Policy
The Charity maintains an lrnproverllenl and Renovab'on Fund, established by a scheme dated 23r4 May 1994
for the purp05es of improving and repairing ils properties. 11 is held to ensure that should works of
Improvement or repair beGorne necessary at the same time that urgent requests for income to be distributed
lo Bond's and Ford'5 Hospital Charity are received, there are sufficient reserves for the works to be carried
out. The amount held within the fund 15 entirely 81 the discretion of the Feoffees and remains unchanged from
2024 at £220,000.
The Feoffee5 have sel up a designated Land Promotion Fund of £35,00012024.' £105.0001 which represents
fees re￿iVed for land option and promotion agreernents which, should they be exercised, will be transferred
to the endowment fund During the year £70,000 was transferred to the endowment fund following the
completion of the 8ulkinglon land development sale.
Al the year-end the Charity held total unreslricled funds of £620,854 of which £255,000 were designated. Free
reserve5 at 31st March 2025 were £365,854 12024. £362,715}. The Feoffees believe these sums to tr)e
sufficient lo meet the immediate future needs of the Charity.

Plans for the Future
The Feoffees have a clear plan lo invest the Charity s assets lo best overall effect., maintain and improve the
propertie5 belonging lo the Charity,. lo manage the assets of the Charity as market conditions determine and
the national economy permits., and lo increase the Income and asset value of the Charity having regard lo the
financial, environmental, and social credentials which remain a key part of the Charity's function. They will
look lo enhance the value of their assets where suitable opporlunilies arise.
Following the significant capital receipt that was achieved in January 2025, the Feoffees concluded that il was
in the best interests of the Charity for the net ￿CeIpt to be invested within a liquidity fund for Immediate growth
on a short-term basis pending a further strategic decision with regards to future investments al their May
meeting. It was subsequently agreed that about £3 sm of the re￿Ipt should be supplemented lo the existing
investment portfolio with the balance of funds being held for commercial and 8gricullur81 inveslmenls. That
policy was further evolved through an opportunity to acquire a 51gnificanl commercial properly investment in
Stfftfford-upon-Avon for £2.8m. The purchase of that property completed in early Oclobef 2025 and will form
significant part of the Charity's commercial portfolio in the future.
These capital investments will result in a significant rise in income for the Charity in ftjture years and will also
provide an opportunity for a wider strategic review of all assets and the ongoing investment strategy during
202512026.
The appointment of lan Grindal as a new Feoffee in July 2025, following a long career in the legal profession,
has helped lo diversify the skill sel within the Feoffee group such that the Charity is well placed to protect ils
assets and lo drive forward growth in the prevailing market conditions. It was regrettable that the City Council
were not able lo bring forward a nominee as a successor to Silver Forte al their Annual Meeting held in May
2025, and discussions will be taken forward with the City Council lo find a solution which enables the Charity
lo continue with growth and enhanced levels of return in the future.
Bonds Hospitsl Eslale Charity maintains a low annual operating budget which can a￿ayS be scaled back
when necessary, and il does not carry significant fixed overhead costs. The meeting structure. allied lo the
wide variety of matters on the agenda for each meeting, help to ensure that w15e decisions are taken with
regard lo the endowment in order lo maintain a balanced portfolio, and maximise the income of the Charity lo
the ultimate advantage of ils beneficiary.
Fundraising Regulator Statement of Compliance
Bond's H05Pital Estate Charity does not contract with a third paty lo undertake any fundraising on ils behalf.
Hence, we have recewed no fundraising cofflplainls during the year.

Audltor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the financial statements Icontinuedl
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect 811 irregular6ties. inGluding
those leading lo a material misst*ement in the financial slalements or non<ompliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial slatemenls, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-
compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud
involves intentional concealrnenl, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenialKJn.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is loeated on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. ww.frc.org.uklaudrtorsresponsibilitses. This description forms part of our
auditorfs report.

The valuation has not been made in accordance with RICS Valuation Standards and the Feoffees agree
that going to that length is unnecessary and not cost effective.
The Feoffees have ft)r many years adopted the practice of revaluing investment properties every five
years lo provide a better indication of the value of such assets. For this reason, historical cost records of
properties have not been retsined. Accordingly, the 1985 valuation is the earliest available Information
concerning their historical cost. This valuation and the cost of subsequent additions comprises the
above historul cost disclosure.
