Thornbury Consolidated Charities
## Report of the Trustees
## for the Year Ended 31 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 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).
It should be noted that a new Trustee Mrs Peggy Belbin was appointed to the Trust in March 2023 following an open recruitment process to replace Mrs Margaret Powell when her term of appointment expired.
## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives of the charity
The objects of the charity, as contained in the Declaration of Trust are:
a) The provision of Almshouses for poor aged widowers, widows or other single persons of good character who are resident in the area of benefit, Thornbury.
b) The provision of relief of persons in need resident in the parish of Thornbury.
## Significant activities
The main activities of the charity continue to be in the area of support for the residents of the parish of Thornbury who fit our criteria for relief in need.
The trustees believe that the activities described above are for the public benefit, through the support of those in need in the area of Thornbury.
## Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit and to the need to report on its observance and delivery.
## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Trustees met in person in five periodic meetings over the year.
The Trust continues to maintain the four Almshouses to a high standard. A new bathroom has been fitted in one of the properties, but sadly the standard door opening to the shower unit is too small for the occupant to use comfortably. An asbestos survey was conducted by Salvum who reported that the asbestos identified was all of low grade and requires management involving regular inspection but no disruptive removal. The residents were informed of the location of any asbestos found in their individual flats and communal areas. The Clerk and Trustees carried out weekly fire alarm tests as well as monthly emergency lighting, legionella, and fire door closer tests.
An application to the Valuation Office Agency has determined the equivalent fair rent is £125 per week; allowing a discount of 10%, for Nos. 33 and 34 the full charge for 3 years from 1st April 2024 will be £487.50 per month. In view of the fact that Nos 31 and 32 would face a very large increase to reach this level, a staged approach will be implemented.
The planned maintenance for 34 High Street was again delayed when the ground floor tenant indicated that they may move away from Thornbury, the programme of maintenance was therefore delayed until the property becomes vacant.
The Trust supported 89 individuals at Christmas time who fit the Trust's criteria for help within the parish. This help was maintained at £130 per person and the cash was delivered by hand by the Trustees and signature obtained from each beneficiary to confirm receipt. A total of £11,570 was provided under this category and in addition a grant of £150 was made to the individual who maintains the allotment's hedges and grassy paths.
The Trust also supported six local groups and organisations at Christmas with grants ranging from £175 to £550. A total of £1,450 was provided under this category. Two organisations providing advice on debt management were advised that the Christmas distribution was inappropriate and applications for support should be requested through the normal route.
The charity considered a number of applications for support from individuals in financial difficulties and approved grants for the purchase of furniture, white goods, and many other basic items as well as helping with debt relief. In all, 26 households received grant support of £10,629 in total.

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Property and Investments
The Thornbury Deli and Barcan + Kirby continued to be tenants throughout the year at 34 High Street.
The Thornbury Deli have indicated that they may be leaving Thornbury to set up nearer the area where they do most of their trade. The likely timetable suggests the ground floor of the property may become vacant in the early summer of 2024. Barcan + Kirby continue to occupy the first floor, it is noted that their lease will expire in April 2025.
Daggs Allotments continued to provide a source of joy for plot holders. As the majority of plot holders had now reached their new rate following the introduction of a new fee scale in 2019, fees were reviewed and increased by 10% in September 2023. At the end of December 2023 there were 22 people on the waiting list for a plot. The situation at the end of 2023 concerning the homeless person has been resolved, at least temporarily, as he has been admitted to hospital with a medical issue.
The Trust's investments are held in the M&G Charity Multi Asset Fund. Over the year 2023 the fund increased in value by 6.3% compared to a benchmark increase of 10.2%. The Trustees have formed an Investments sub-committee and have held a number of meetings with Rathbones to consider the future of the Trust's investments.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
## Financial position
At the balance sheet date, the charity had the following key totals.
Gross assets held at year end totalled £1,025,795 (2022; £991,387). This is inclusive of fixed asset investments totalling £538,309 (2022; £514,979).
Net current assets at year end totalled £480,682 (2022; £472,534). After excluding restricted funds of £299,386 (2022; £288,490) there is 'free' reserves of £181,296 (2022; £184,044).
Total net assets at year end totalled £1,018,991 (2022; 987,513).
The majority of these movements result from the Trust's decision to move considerable funds from 'free' to 'restricted' funds to ensure future building maintenance programmes can be properly funded.
Investment Powers & Policy
The Trustees have the same full and unrestricted powers of investing and transposing investments in all respects as if they were absolutely and beneficially entitled thereto.
The Trustees intend the real value of the charity's assets to be maintained over the long term by investment in a portfolio of equities, fixed income stocks and cash deposits. Consistent with this objective, the Trustees wish to obtain dividend and interest income from the portfolio each year to contribute towards the purposes of the society. A fund which is able to select the investment from a wide spectrum of assets should, it is hoped, provide a better return than a fund, such as M&G, which is restricted to investment in its own 'House' funds. The member of the board of The Trustees with considerable experience in portfolio management has recommended Rathbones to manage the Trust's investments. The Trust has set up an investments sub-committee to manage the Trust's investment in consultation with Rathbones. The Questionnaire completed for Rathbones by the three trustees has produced a remarkable coherence in the attitude to risk to guide the selection of asset.
## Reserves
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the charity should be between twice and four times the average of the last three years expenditure. At this level the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the organisation in the event of a significant drop in funding. If this occurred it would be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed accordingly. The charity is now becoming more widely known in the local community and requests for grants are regularly received from various agencies as well as individuals.
The average expenditure over the past three years (2021 to 2023) was £54,691. The free reserves as detailed in the Financial Position section above is £181,296 which reflects 3.3 times the average expenditure.

## Report of the Trustees
## for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
## REVIEW OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
In 2023, the Trust continued to work with and develop relations with housing agencies, debt advice agencies and the local council - many of the grants made in 2023 were as a result of referrals from these agencies. Applications from these agencies can be expected to grow in the next year as the Trust prefers to receive application from housing specialists rather than a self-penned application which may be short on facts.
There continue to be several major maintenance items that will take place in 2024 mainly as a result of the extensive quinquennial review of the Trust's properties and the refurbishment of the commercial property when the current lease holders vacate the premises.
## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Charity constitution The charity is constituted by a scheme dated 22 April 1981, although the Charity can be traced back to its inception in the 1880s.
Appointment of Trustees
Three trustees are nominated by Thornbury Town Council, these trustees serve for a term of four years. Four trustees who are considered to have a special knowledge of Thornbury are co-opted and serve for a five-year term. They are chosen by the trustees.
Organisational structure
The organisation responsible for administering Thornbury Consolidated Charities is Thornbury Town Trust.
## Clerk to the Trust
Mrs Sally Bertram continues in the role of Clerk to the Trust. She continues to develop close working relationships with the Trustees, tenants at Millard House and 34 High Street, and the plot holders at Daggs Allotments, as well as efficiently managing the day-to-day handling of the Trust's meetings, accounts, objectives and applications for support with impressive competence. Sadly, Mrs Bertram suffered a long period of illness in a parent and eventually bereavement; in this period, she carried the 3 roles of carer, parent, and Trust clerk to a high standard, with energy, skill and compassion.
## Risk review
The Trustees carried out an annual review of the risks faced and the procedures established to manage those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of effective control procedures, which ensure both appropriate authorisation of all transactions and projects and consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. The Risk Management procedures and the Financial Control policy were reviewed in June 2023 for their continuing effectiveness.
The Trustees were content that they had sufficient funds to carry out major structural repairs at the Almshouses and 34 High Street.
## HERITAGE ASSETS
The Thornbury Mace (1700) by Benjamine Pyne remains at Bristol Museum on permanent loan, and a chest containing market relics Including Historic scales, certified weights and staves continue to be held in Thornbury Town Hall. 11/06/2024

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Thornbury Consolidated Charities
## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Thornbury Consolidated Charities
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Thornbury Consolidated Charities (the Trust) for the year ended 31 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
## 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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
## Heritage assets
Heritage assets are held at historical cost or fair value at the time of donation. Depreciation has been considered for all heritage assets. For those with an indefinite life, no depreciation has been charged.The following assets have an indefinite life:
Silver mace Metal scales, weights and measures Two staves Chest
For all other heritage assets depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.No heritage assets currently held are depreciated.
The Trust does not solicit or expect any more donations of a heritage nature.
The history and nature of the Heritage assets currently held by the Town Trust is held by the Trust's Clerk.
Visits to the box of weights can be arranged through the Thornbury Town Clerk at the Town Hall; the Thornbury Mace can be viewed during opening hours in the Silver Room at the Bristol Museum.
Thornbury Town Trust also owns a Parcel Gilt Mace (hereafter known as the "Thornbury Mace") by Benjamin Pyne, London (around 1700) and valued in 2022 at £60,000. This asset has been on loan to the Bristol Museum for display purposes since 1967 with periodic extensions of the loan. Preservation of the Mace is managed by the museum.
All heritage assets other than the mace are kept in an old wooden chest in the Town Council Chamber and checked at least once a year when they are on display.
All heritage assets are reviewed annually for impairment.
