Review of operations
The Charity receive5 fund5 from Cha￿¢$ raised on residents in thefomi of servKes charges and licence fees. The
service charges are raised to cover the costs of providing support and services to the residents and
maintenance of the grounds and equipment. licence fee5 are charged to the residents in line with Government
guidance and are used to cover maintenanceof the properties in theyear and to provide resourtes to meet future
planned repairs costs.
Sn line with the Charitvs objectNe to maintain the properties in good repair arbd in order to provide
accommodation to beneficiaries. the Charity continues to review the kbric of the building by means of planned
works programme5 and stock condition sutveys undertaken by the wn3n3giTrg agent and outsourced surveyors.
The main actthiity fDr the year was tt> undertake the major building woths identified under the Quinquennial
Inspection Report dated 3 January 2023 to include extemal repair and redecoratiCFn works, rwf repairs, masonry
repairs and repointing and repairto damaged Listed entrance gates_ Ftyde Harrington, Chartered Surveyors, acted
as Contract Administrators, with associated speciali5tadvice from arthitect5 and arL¥Jriwlturi5ts given the statu5
of the bLJildings a5 Listed Grade 11 and being within a Conservation Area. The 5peciffication went to tender and
was awarded tts John Taylor and Green Limited under a Jct Minor Works Building Contratt.
Due to planning restrictions and the age of the buildings. the original contract sum of £132.710.60 plus VAT and
fees was exceeded. The works commenced in September 2023 and are due to be completed in M2y 2025. The
final contract sum is anticipated at £205.0(X) plus VAT and fees. Additional unforeseen works were needed as a
result of further ￿annIng constraints irnposed durin8 the contract. surveys required a5 a Tesult, urgent works
required to the drdinage system and works to improve damp within the almshouses. The contrart was overseen
by Hyde Harringt(>n reporting directly to the managing agent and Trustees. Additlonal Trustee meetings took
place throughout the year as a result.
Additional non-urgent but esseniial works have been identsfied within the Quinquenni81 lrtspection Report.
Trustees have reviewed the need for further work against the reduced reserves as a result of Phase l above.
Trustees have set up a sub-cctmmittee to consider the timing and funding of these additional work5 which are
likely to begin in the year 2025126 and take the form of smaller contracts.
There is a surplus of £60,780 forthe year12023=105s £4S.0851. Exduding a gain on revaluation of investments of
£24.69612023.. loss £30.5071 there was a surplus on ordinary activilies of £36,08412023=105s £14,578).
Prlntipal risks and uncertaintie5
There are several risks in the extemal enwronment that are contribulinE to significant ch211engesfor all providers
in particular rising costs of services 3nd building materials as well a5 an increased volatility in income from
investments funds. Inflation. global geo-polttical conflicts and economic uncertainty has led to increased costs
ol upkeep as well as reduced levels of reserve5 and income.
All Trustees actively marhage key area of risk, with focus on maintaining service delivery, managing and
anticipating financial impatts. and monitoring the potential negative impacts of the conditions on our customers
and colleague5.
Maintènance of the Charity's properties is dependent on the timely and effective performance by third party
contractors of their obligations.. The perforrnance of contracts may be subject to disruption for a variety of
reasons including 8vai13bility of materials, work stoppages. labour constraints. and macroeconomic conditions.
Professional advisors are employed to manage contracts and provide specialist advio where required.
Investrnents are managed by Sarasin & Partners and a report is provided at every Trustee meeting.

l{al Pri nc i pal Accounting pdicles
Basis ￿ accounting
The Financ131 Statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial RepDrting Standard 102-
the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021 the Statement
of Recommended Practi￿.. Accounting by Registered Social landlords Update 2018 ISORPI and the
Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2DI9.
The Financial Staternents are prepared on the historical cost and accruals basis of accountin& as
modified to include the fair value of finanaal instruments and on the basis of going concern.
The accounting policies set oul below have. unless otherwise rtated. been applied Consistent￿ to all
periods presented in these Financial Statements.
Going concern
The Charitvs business aciivities and factors likely to affect its plans for the future are Set out within
the Report of the 8gard of Trustees. The Charity has adequate unrestricied re5erve5 and desi8nated
reserves with which to furKI its financial obligations and day to day operation5.
Orh thi5 basi5. Ihe Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Charf(v has adequate
restsur￿s to Continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least
twelve month5 afterthe date on which the report and financial statements are signed. Forthis reason.
it continues to adopt the EoinE concem basis in the Financial Statements.
Income
Income represents maintenance charge income from licen5ee5 and service charge5 recefvable whlch
are recognised when the Charity is entitled to thèm together with the amortiS3tion of c3pit31 grant.
Maintenanie charge5 and Service chaige5 are 5hDwn net of void losses which are onty reco8nised
where the propertie5 are available for occupation.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets arè Stated u5in8 the c05t model at C05t, less cumulatTve deP￿CiatIon, less impairment.
Fixed as5et5 includes housing properties held for social benefit purposes and scheme equipment.
Housing properties are properties available for rent and a￿ stated at cost less cumulaiive
depreciation.
There is no record of the original c051 of the housing properties and consequently no value is
attributed thereto. The Housin8 Propertie5 Cort relate to improvements, some ol which were funded
by a Housing Coiporation Grant and a mortgage loan from the London Borough of Southw3rk which
has now been ful￿ repaid.
Scheme equipmenl 15 shown at cost less cumulative depreuation.
Subsequent expelyditure to housing propertte5
Works which result In an enhancement of economic benefits to ihe property li.e. an increase in rental
income, reducrion in fuLure mainten3nce costs or st8nificant extension of life to the property) for a
period of ten years or more are deemed to be improvements and are capitalised and depreciated in
accordance with their expected e£onomic life. Improvewnents to properties that relate to pre-
identified asset components are also capitalised and depreuated over the expected econornic life of
the component.
