## **Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31st December 2023** 

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Social Housing  Providers 2018 and applicable accounting standards. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The purpose of the Charity is to manage Almshouses, to afford independent living for the elderly, poor and needy people. The main criteria for meeting its objectives are that the Almshouses be available on payment of a maintenance contribution to elderly, poor and needy people who (except in special cases to be approved by the Charity Commissioners) have resided for a period of not less than two years in a beneficial area consisting of Parlington, Aberford, Lotherton, Garforth, Sherburn-in-Elmet, Church Fenton, Barkston Ash, South Milford, Saxton and  Barwick-in -Elmet, with a preference in the first place for those having been resided in the first four ancient townships mentioned. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission's guidance on the requirement to report on public benefit. The Trustees are satisfied that the work of the Charity and its policies and procedures accord with its stated objectives and provides tangible public benefit. The criteria used to assess those who may benefit comply with its Governing Document and are not unreasonably restrictive. The Charity has taken due regard in its policies for the public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The principal activity of the trust is the letting of almshouses. 

The Trustees are satisfied that, in continuing to provide low cost accommodation, ensuring that the Almshouses are maintained to a good standard and that occupancy levels are high, they have met their objectives. Trustees consider the operations of the Trust during the year and the postion at the end of the year were satisfactory. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The Weekly Maintenance Contribution (WMC) paid by residents is the principal source of funding for the Almshouses. 

The Trustees set the WMC at a level anticipated to cover the annual budgeted operating costs of the Trust. 

The Trustees continue to implement increases to the Weekly Maintenance Contributions, within the guidelines laid down by Homes England, to ensure that the Charity generates a sufficient surplus to meet its capital commitments on the mortgage. 

Additionally, continuous efforts are made to control costs across all areas of expenditure.

**Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31st December 2023** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

Day to day repairs and maintenance are charged to the income and expenditure account as and when they occur. An amount for repairs during the next financial year is budgeted for and agreed by Trustees at their December meeting. 

The Charity operates a cyclical repairs and maintenance reserve to meet any costs in excess of annual budgeted expenditure. 

An extraordinary repair reserve in excess of £105,000 is held at the Co Operative bank. 

Additional reserve funds in excess of £23,000 are held in the Charities Official Investment Fund managed by CCLA. 

The Charity also holds reserves in excess of £60,000 which are held in M & G's Charity Multi Asset Fund.. 

£20,000 is ring fenced in the Current Account to support the cyclical repairs and maintenance reserve but any unexpected costs incurred are met from the Extraordinary Repair Fund.. 

Each year the Trust adds funds to the Extraordinary Repairs Fund. The amount is in line with the amount recommended by the Almshouse Association. 

The Trust includes an amount in reserves to enable it to operate without the Weekly Maintenance Contribution income for a period of six months. 

The Trustees review the level of reserves held at each Trustees meeting and consider the current level of reserves to be more than adequate. 

## **Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Charity plans to continue its present activities in the future. Funds are available to meet future needs where those have been identified. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The governing document of the Charity is a deed dated 22 July 1913, amended 26 July 1960 and approved by the Charity Commission. 

The Charity is a member of the National Association of Almshouses and is also a Registered Social Landlord with The Homes and Communities Agency. 

## **Charity constitution** 

The Almshouse is a Registered Charity (number 236902). 

The Almshouse Trust is registered with the Regulator of Social Housing (Registration number A0230). 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The are no specific requirements in the Charity deed relating to the appointment of Trustees. 

The Trustees may appoint a Clergyman of the Church of England and have sought to have a representative from Leeds City Council on the Board. 

Other than the above, new Trustees are approached based on the personal recommendations of those already on the Board.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Charity operates twenty eight almshouses located at Parlington House, Beech View, Aberford. 

## **Decision making** 

The Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees. 

During 2023 the Trust had eight Trustees who met on a regular basis. 

Any decisions requiring Trustees authorisation which were taken between the full meetings were agreed via email or telephone and ratified at the next full Trustees meeting. 

The trust operates under the Charity Commission's guidelines and follows advice from the Almshouses Association. 

Policies are reviewed on a regular basis. 

A cashbook of receipts and payments is maintained by the Clerk (in line with the Charities Act requirements). Summaries of all expenditure and income are reviewed at each Trustees meeting. Reasons for variation from budget are discussed and any remedial action required is agreed by the Trustees. A small amount of petty cash is held by the Scheme Manager with all expenditure being checked and reconciled by the Clerk on a periodic basis. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Aberford Almshouses** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Aberford Almshouses** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Aberford Almshouses (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31st December 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Social Housing Providers SORP 2018 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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)' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance 

Depreciation is not charged on the housing properties as this is considered immaterial due to the very long  useful economic life and high residual value. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
