TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Objectives and activities
In planning the charity’s activities the trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
The objective of the charity is the provision of accommodation through its Almshouses, for the benefit of the residents. The charity currently provides six Almshouses to six residents who have met their criteria of need, both financial and social.
The Almshouses are maintained to a very high standard, and are subject to a cyclical maintenance review to ensure their longevity.
The charity charges a nominal weekly maintenance contribution, which is significantly below the Fair Rent levels, and subsidises the operating costs of the Almshouses from the charity’s annual income.
After defraying the costs of maintaining the property of the charity, any remaining surplus income for the year is reserved for the ongoing maintenance of the properties, in accordance with the charity’s objectives.
Risk management
The Trustees monitor the risk profile of the charity – both financial and operational - on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified. The charity enforces the following procedures with regard to the monitoring and management of risk:
-
Clearly defined structure of authority and control
-
Ongoing review of key systems and relationships within the charity
-
Regular review of charity’s funds
-
Regular summary reports to the board of trustees regarding any concerns noted
Achievements and performance
During the year, all the properties were let, maintained and appropriately managed, satisfying the principal objective of the charity.
Financial review
The charity’s income in the year was £28,384 (2024: £28,160), and consisted primarily of maintenance contributions. The charity spent £26,914 on maintenance of its properties (2024: £11,419), and after accounting for overheads and investment gains achieved a deficit of £6,802 (2024: surplus of £25,159).
Investment powers and policy
Under the Trust Deed, the charity has the power to invest or deposit in any lawful manner. The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of the charity and to its reserves policy, have operated a policy of keeping available funds in interest-bearing funds and deposit accounts.

Reserves policy
The total reserves at 31 October 2025 were £334,082 (2024: £340,884), which are made up entirely of unrestricted funds of the charity. Within unrestricted funds are contained two designated reserves: an extraordinary repairs fund, with reserves totalling £31,435 (2024: £40,231), and a cyclical maintenance fund, with reserves totalling £2,270 (2024: £4,540).
The level of reserves are monitored and reviewed by the Trustees throughout the year, to ensure that both general and designated unrestricted funds are sufficient to meet the maintenance requirements of the charity’s properties. This requirement has been met in the year ended 31 October 2025, and the Trustees are continuing to monitor the situation carefully.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a charitable trust, and is constituted and governed by a trust deed dated October 2020.
The Trustees delegate the day-to-day management of the charity to an external administrator, who reports to the Trustees on a quarterly basis.
Plans for future periods
The Trustees will continue to review the long-term maintenance needs of the properties, and will take steps to ensure that these needs are met in a timely manner.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 OCTOBER 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 94 Bates Street, Sheffield, S10 1NQ .
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', and the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Income tax
The charity is exempt for taxation on its income and gains where they are to be applied for charitable purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from charitable activities is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the income, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
income in respect of investments held is recognised in the period in which it is received.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as

expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold property - nil
Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities include the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if required subsequent to their first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and the carrying value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are calculated are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
