HORNCHURCH HOUSING TRUST 

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2021 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The overall objective of the charity is to provide accommodation for poor persons of good character and have resided in the Borough of Havering for at least two years. 

Hornchurch Housing Trust offers 39 modern self-contained dwellings on three sites in the borough of Havering. 

## Skeales Court, Sunrise Avenue, Hornchurch 

Built in 1975 with 30 one bedroom flats over two floors with stair lifts to the first floor. Amenities for residents include a recreation room, kitchen and purpose built laundry room, with a secluded garden. The offices of the clerk and of the warden are on-site. A frequent bus service passes the complex. 

## The Trust, Hacton Lane, Hornchurch 

This site comprises five one bedroom bungalows. The residents have the benefit of sharing the amenities of the adjoining council owned Wm Tansley Smith House, which is a sheltered complex and has a large sunny garden, a recreation room and laundry. The 193 bus services to Hornchurch, Romford and The Queen's Hospital passes the complex. 

## Wolseley Road, Romford 

Here there are four maisonettes in a single block and the two at first floor level are accessed via steep stairs, which makes them suitable only for more active and independent persons. Frequent bus services are available nearby. 

As vacancies occur the units are refurbished as necessary. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission Guidance on Public Benefit in deciding what activities the charity undertakes. All activities undertaken by Hornchurch Housing Trust are focussed on our charitable purposes. 

## **Achievement and performance** 

The charity maintains all of its properties and their grounds in good order, making them a pleasant place for our residents. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The results for the year are set out in the attached accounts. The total funds at 31 December 2021 were £9,8,17,647 compared with £9,395,503 at 31 December 2020. Total expenditure during the year was £255,263 compared with total expenditure of £263,762 during the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## Investment Policy 

The charity utilises Ruffer LLP, M & G Investments and Brewin Dolphin Limited to manage its investment portfolio which includes both fixed interest units and equities. The investment managers are all regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority and are required to ensure that such investments provide an adequate yield, whilst respecting the ethical principles deemed appropriate by the charity. 

## Reserves Policy 

The trustees have decided that the amount of 'free' reserves (ie unrestricted reserves not designated as tangible assets) held by the charity should be maintained at a level equal to the approximate running costs of the charity for a six month period. This is assumed to be £100,000. However the charity is currently pooling resources with the view to expanding the number of properties it owns.

HORNCHURCH HOUSING TRUST 

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Future plans** 

In the short term the Charity's priority is to continue providing accommodation and other facilities to a high standard. This implies the continued maintenance and improvement of our properties and the facilities we offer to our residents. 

Further to this the charity would like to expand the number of properties it owns in order to further its work and increase the provision of accommodation currently offered. 

## Political Uncertainty 

It remains to be seen what the impact, if any, Brexit will have on the construction market and the trust specifically. The outlook for the coming year was encouraging prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, however, in the event of any economic downturn the trust is well placed to operate as normal due to efficient financial controls, a strong balance sheet and healthy cash reserves. 

## Covid-19 

The trust has, like all organisations, been affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. Decisive measures were swiftly undertaken, including closure of sites to protect our team, residents and other stakeholders. We continue to closely monitor the crisis, however, having formed contingency plans early and left significant cash in the organisation following a good year, the trust is well placed to see out the crisis and progress strongly as the economy recovers. 

The trust is looking at possible new business models to ensure compliancy and management of risk, which if progressed, will result in review of the structure. 

## Future Development 

Although the commercial new-build, refurbishment and fit-out market remains competitive and uncertain following the Covid-19 outbreak, by actively managing risk across all areas of the trust , it is well placed to meet the day to day running needs. 

The board is looking at potential investment/property purchase options to extend its current portfolio, as well as possible investment in its existing stock. Trustees will be taking appropriate expert advice before making any investments / strategic decisions 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

Hornchurch Housing Trust is an amalgamation of many ancient charities, the earliest being Appleton's Almshouses founded in 1586. The current version of the governing document was introduced on 15 February 1991 and amended by special resolution on 18 May 1995. The trust is a registered charity with the Charity Commission. 

## **Appointment of trustees** 

The trust deed makes provision for the appointment of seven trustees, one of whom by virtue of his office will be the incumbent vicar of St Andrews Parish Church, Hornchurch. The remaining six are appointed by the Council of the London Borough of Havering. 

## **Organisation** 

The board of trustees administers the charity and meets regularly to discuss the running of the charity. A clerk has been appointed by the trustees to manage its day to day operations under the supervision of the chairman and deputy chairman. 

## **Related Parties and Connected Organisations** 

The charity has no link with "Related Parties" as defined by the Statement of Recommended Practice and has not combined with any other organisation in the pursuit of its charitable objectives.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Hornchurch Housing Trust 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Hornchurch Housing Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of 

Hornchurch Housing Trust 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance 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 statements, as we will be less likely to 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 concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework, the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

We understood how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquires of the management and those responsible for governance. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of Board minutes. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. 

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to: 

- identifying and gaining an understanding of the internal controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

- understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; 

- discussing the risks of fraud amongst the engagement team; 

- assessing the significant estimates and judgements in the financial statements for possible manipulation or management bias; 

- identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the charity; 

- assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
