HEZMALHALCH TRUST
FELLISCLIFFE ALMSHOUSES
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8.
Constitution and objects
The Hezmalhalch Charitable Trust was established by an original Trust Deed dated 8 May 1893 by Mr Joseph Hezmalhalch and Miss Mary Hezmalhalch, in memory of their brothers Thomas and James Hezmalhalch.
The objects are to administer the five Almshouses, Chaplaincy fund, Church Repair Fund relating to the Chapel of Ease adjoining the Almshouses built by Mr Joseph and Miss Mary Hezmalhalch, and the Poor Fund bequeathed in the Trust. These objects have been carried out historically as follows: -
-
a) Maintain the fabric of the almshouses.
-
b) Provide funds to enable the fabric of the chapel of ease to be maintained in good order.
-
c) Support the stipend of the Chaplain and any expenses incurred.
-
d) Contributions to support local community activities as the trustees feel fit.
-
(Refer to clause 14).
Clause 14 of the original will dated 8[th] May 1893 reads as follows: -
“That Trustees may, from time to time, make such rules and by-laws for and in relation to the conduct of the business of the charity, not inconsistent with the main objects of the foundation, as they may think fit.”
Organisation
The Trustees who have served in the year are set out on page 1. Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees. There are no minimum or maximum terms of service. The Trustees meet annually or more frequently to attend to any urgent business.
The assets of the Hezmalhalch Trust are to be transferred into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) no 1182128. This is still ongoing after seven years. Once this has been completed the original trust no 236143 will be closed.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Grant making policy
The Trustees are bound by the terms of the charity’s deed to apply funds for the objects set out above. In practice payments are made to support the maintenance of the Almshouses and contributions to Felliscliffe Chapel of Ease when required.
Financial review and investment policy
The charity’s income is mainly generated from rents received from the Almshouses. These rents are reviewed from time to time by the rent service, a government agency. Government stocks held by the charity were redeemed during 2015 and the funds have been received as cash and not reinvested. All investments held remain with COIF Charity Funds administered by CCLA Investment Management Ltd. The Property Fund Income Units dividends continue to be reinvested as previously.
During 2024 there was minimal maintenance necessary on the cottages. Sadly, the resident in cottage 3 died in November. Further maintenance will be required before the cottage will be able to be relet during 2025.
There were outstanding rent arrears at the year end. It is anticipated that the rent arrears will be made good by 2026.
Reserves policy
The Trustees current policy is to build up reserves to enable sufficient funds to be available to cover maintenance requirements for the Almshouses and to support Felliscliffe Chapel of Ease.
The trust is very small and the Trustees consider that there is no significant level of risk to the charity’s funds, other than that which can be managed by prudent bookkeeping procedures and secure operation of the charity’s banking arrangements. The Trustees consider that the present arrangements are satisfactory.

Risk management
Trustees’ responsibility in relation to the financial statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HEZMALHALCH TRUST
This report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages five to eleven, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
As trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 145 of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and that examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Post balance sheet event
From 19[th] February 2019 the charity has been registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. New registration from that date 1182128.
From the Charitable Incorporated Organisation’s incorporation Trustees are appointed on a rotational basis.
The Trustees for the CIO are as follows: -
John R S Lazenby (until 1.06.2026) Joseph A Brown (until 1.06.2024) Reginald W Houseman (until 1.06.2026) Peter C N Capel Cure (until 1.06.2024) Josephine C E Shepherd Ex officio appointed on 23[rd] April 2023 Mrs G Clough Appointed on 8.03.2023 until 1.06.2026 Mrs E Knox Appointed on 8.08.2023 until 1.06.2026
When the property and land held by the existing trust is transferred to the Incorporated Charitable Organisation (CIO), this will enable the trustees to be indemnified from any personal liability; however, as Wrigleys who are acting on the Trust’s behalf have as yet to organise the transfer of the assets from the existing trust and the transfer of assets from the Miss Mary Hezmalhalch Charities to the new CIO the Hezmalhalch’s Charity and the Miss Mary Hezmalhalch Charities have been unable to be closed, consequently the trustees are still exposed to any liabilities that may arise. The transfer is ongoing.
Currently the listed trustees stated on page 1 remain in post for the existing Hezmalhalch’s Charity, number 236143 which continues to be responsible for running the Almshouses at Felliscliffe..

FELLISCLIFFE ALMSHOUSES
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8.
Constitution and objects
The Hezmalhalch Charitable Trust was established by an original Trust Deed dated 8 May 1893 by Mr Joseph Hezmalhalch and Miss Mary Hezmalhalch, in memory of their brothers Thomas and James Hezmalhalch.
The objects are to administer the five Almshouses, Chaplaincy fund, Church Repair Fund relating to the Chapel of Ease adjoining the Almshouses built by Mr Joseph and Miss Mary Hezmalhalch, and the Poor Fund bequeathed in the Trust. These objects have been carried out historically as follows: -
-
a) Maintain the fabric of the almshouses.
-
b) Provide funds to enable the fabric of the chapel of ease to be maintained in good order.
-
c) Support the stipend of the Chaplain and any expenses incurred.
-
d) Contributions to support local community activities as the trustees feel fit.
-
(Refer to clause 14).
Clause 14 of the original will dated 8[th] May 1893 reads as follows: -
“That Trustees may, from time to time, make such rules and by-laws for and in relation to the conduct of the business of the charity, not inconsistent with the main objects of the foundation, as they may think fit.”
Organisation
The Trustees who have served in the year are set out on page 1. Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees. There are no minimum or maximum terms of service. The Trustees meet annually or more frequently to attend to any urgent business.
The assets of the Hezmalhalch Trust are to be transferred into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) no 1182128. This is still ongoing after seven years. Once this has been completed the original trust no 236143 will be closed.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Grant making policy
The Trustees are bound by the terms of the charity’s deed to apply funds for the objects set out above. In practice payments are made to support the maintenance of the Almshouses and contributions to Felliscliffe Chapel of Ease when required.
Financial review and investment policy
The charity’s income is mainly generated from rents received from the Almshouses. These rents are reviewed from time to time by the rent service, a government agency. Government stocks held by the charity were redeemed during 2015 and the funds have been received as cash and not reinvested. All investments held remain with COIF Charity Funds administered by CCLA Investment Management Ltd. The Property Fund Income Units dividends continue to be reinvested as previously.
During 2024 there was minimal maintenance necessary on the cottages. Sadly, the resident in cottage 3 died in November. Further maintenance will be required before the cottage will be able to be relet during 2025.
There were outstanding rent arrears at the year end. It is anticipated that the rent arrears will be made good by 2026.
Reserves policy
The Trustees current policy is to build up reserves to enable sufficient funds to be available to cover maintenance requirements for the Almshouses and to support Felliscliffe Chapel of Ease.
The trust is very small and the Trustees consider that there is no significant level of risk to the charity’s funds, other than that which can be managed by prudent bookkeeping procedures and secure operation of the charity’s banking arrangements. The Trustees consider that the present arrangements are satisfactory.

Risk management
Trustees’ responsibility in relation to the financial statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations
have not been met; or

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Post balance sheet event
From 19[th] February 2019 the charity has been registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. New registration from that date 1182128.
From the Charitable Incorporated Organisation’s incorporation Trustees are appointed on a rotational basis.
The Trustees for the CIO are as follows: -
John R S Lazenby (until 1.06.2026) Joseph A Brown (until 1.06.2024) Reginald W Houseman (until 1.06.2026) Peter C N Capel Cure (until 1.06.2024) Josephine C E Shepherd Ex officio appointed on 23[rd] April 2023 Mrs G Clough Appointed on 8.03.2023 until 1.06.2026 Mrs E Knox Appointed on 8.08.2023 until 1.06.2026
When the property and land held by the existing trust is transferred to the Incorporated Charitable Organisation (CIO), this will enable the trustees to be indemnified from any personal liability; however, as Wrigleys who are acting on the Trust’s behalf have as yet to organise the transfer of the assets from the existing trust and the transfer of assets from the Miss Mary Hezmalhalch Charities to the new CIO the Hezmalhalch’s Charity and the Miss Mary Hezmalhalch Charities have been unable to be closed, consequently the trustees are still exposed to any liabilities that may arise. The transfer is ongoing.
Currently the listed trustees stated on page 1 remain in post for the existing Hezmalhalch’s Charity, number 236143 which continues to be responsible for running the Almshouses at Felliscliffe..
