-
4 The minutes of the 208[th] meeting held on Tuesday 16[th] June were confirmed by the Trustees.

5 Matters arising:
The Chair asked after the whereabouts of the Safeguarding Document and the Rev’d Bailey agreed to contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team, to whom she had sent it.
The Chair stated that planning permission had been given for the flats to be built at 2 Barrowfield Lane by the Counsel.
She asked the Clerk to check if the members of the Close had received the rewritten page 4 of the Handbook.
-
6 Works:
-
Mr. Mark King spoke to his paper which he had presented.
-
7 Finance
The Treasurer, David Pettifor, spoke to his paper, stating that overall the previous quarter had been good, bringing it back to the February total. He noted that, despite re-investing profits in more shares the value had not increased at the same rate.
He reported that the Natwest Current Account stood at £30,108.51 and the CBF Acount was unchanged a £636.05.
The final figure for upgrading no.10 Margetts Close [along with other small works] will probably account for c. £10,00.
He noted that the proposed new bathrooms in three of the bungalows should be put on hold until the Covid 29 situation became clearer.
- 8 Residents Health and Welfare
The Chair began her report by mentioning the sad loss of the Rev’d Brian Ritchie who had enjoyed so many years living in the Close. The occupants of no.6 [Chris and Maeve Race] are due to move into this bungalow in December/January 2021and their bungalow will be taken by the Rev’d Don and Mrs. Yvonne Alcock’
Thereafter the Chair discussed the residents’ health and welfare
- 9 Any other business
Mr. Pettifor noted that the Trustees lacked ‘new faces’. The Vicar asked if there were ‘skills audits’ available for possible candidates and the Chair agreed to put together a job specification.
During the discussion over finance the Vicar asked if there were any plans to use up the surplus monies. Mr. Pettifor agreed that we could either consider more housing or seriously consider solar panels for the bungalows which would financially help the residents.
The Chair and the Treasurer would consider these suggestions
and, in the meantime, Mr. Radford would be asked to acquire a second tender for solar panels.
The Trustees considered further the question of the TV licence fee and it as agreed to wait and see if the BBC made any further demands. The Vicar felt
that we should warn the residents that they might have to pay the full fee if the BBC did not feel that the Charity was covered by the ARC agreement.
10 Date for next meeting: Tuesday 9[th] February 2021 at 2:15pm
Minutes for the 210th meeting of the Trustees, held on Tuesday February 9th 2021 at 2:15pm, via Zoom

Matters arising:
The Clerk assured the meeting that she had delivered the revamped page of the Handbook to all the Residents.
The Chair reassured the Trustees that the Residents did not have to buy a TV license and noted that the Rev’d Alcock needs to be added to the list for next year.
The Chair apologized for not having yet prepared her paper on skills required to be a Trustee.
5 Works:
Mr. Mark King presented two papers.
Report No. 1: Listing the general work done in Margetts Close. He was advised that the work on the bathrooms in numbers 1,3 5should be suspended until all the residents had been vaccinated against Covid 19.If at all possible, it would be preferable for residents to move out of the property while the work was being done. Decisions about this would be made when we knew that the work was imminent.
He was urged to find an answer to the problem of water entering under the side door of number 3 as this was causing distress to the resident. A structural survey has been carried out at Number 10 when it became apparent, once the furniture was moved, that there had been some structural movement in the conservatory. Ingress of water due to blocked gutters and inadequate drainage systems had led to some settlement of the ground. The structural report did not suggest that this was a cause for major work but highlighted the need for regular maintenance to prevent
blocked gutters and for adequate drainage to be in place. Mr King was asked to look into this and ensure that the leakage does not recur. He was also asked to have the doorbell replaced as it was not functioning. He noted that the pandemic had held up work on the extractor fan in the bathroom of number11 but it was scheduled to be changed. Report No. 2 on the condition of bungalow number 2.
He was advised that removing all the carpets was the best option and for at least two double electric sockets in each room; he was requested to obtain urgent quotations for both re-decoration throughout the bungalow together with a new kitchen.
The Chair thanked him for his two papers and the work he had done in preparation.
6 New Residents
The Chair noted that the Rev’d Don Alcock had moved into number 6 and was keen to join in Margett Close activities. Sadly, his wife had taken the opportunity of the move to remain elsewhere.
No. 2 Margetts Close:
Following the information sent by the Archdeacon to her fellow Archdeacons the Trust had received 3 enquiries regarding the vacant bungalow.
One applicant had visited the Close and had expressed an interest in joining the Close. The Chair revealed that he was a relatively young man forced to retire from the ministry on the grounds of health and it was agreed to offer him the vacant bungalow.
The Chair agreed to inform him of the Trustees’ decision and asked the Clerk to send a formal letter
7 Finance
The Treasurer, David Pettifor, presented his report, copy att ached . The re-investment of the interest received from some of our accounts had paid dividends and that, overall, the charity’s investments were stable. Considering the current amount in savings [nearly £700,000] he suggested that it was appropriate to consider whether solar panels together with solar water panels should be added to the buildings for the benefit of the residents. There would not be any return on capital invested but the residents should see reductions in their heating bills. Another option to consider, would be the purchase of another property to expand the Charity’s remit. Currently there was little available new housing in the town and the Trustees agreed that a property with central access was preferable.
He promised to look at both in the future.

8 Residents Health and Welfare The Chair, Mrs. Heather Alford gave a report on the current status of the residents.

9 Any Other Business
-
2021 Summer Event for residents
It was agreed that, should events change by the summer, something could be arranged for the residents
A discussion began about the Trusts’ decision to expand the brief of the Charity to include non- stipendiary ministers but the Archdeacon, Sue Field, spoke against this idea, arguing that many priests did not have a second residence to retire to and would be in need of places like Margetts Close; she advised using the phrase “Christian ministers in a tied living” to describe those we support

The Borrowell Clergy Homes
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 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
Objectives and aims
The primary objects of the Charity are the maintenance of homes for:
(a) the permanent residence and retirement of men and women of the clergy of the Church of England, with their spouses and dependent children, who shall be in reduced circumstances and shall by reason of age, sickness or bodily infirmity be wholly or partly incapacitated from holding or continuing to hold any preferment.
(b) the temporary rest, relief or recuperation of sick and infirm men or women of the clergy of the Church of England in reduced circumstances.
The secondary Objects are:
(a) the temporary rest, relief or recuperation of men or women of reduced circumstances, and
(b) the permanent residence and retirement of such men or women as immediately before mentioned in paragraph (a) with a preference for such men or women who are the widows or widowers of deceased clergymen or women formerly resident in the homes.
Activities during the year
The Charity continues with its policy to provide accommodation to retired clergy and widows and partners.
There were no necessary major repairs or improvements made to the properties during the year.
The period was disrupted by the Covid 19 outbreak and subsequent lock down; however essential services were dealt with and the high standard of the accommodation maintained.
It had been anticipated that during the year two properties would be re-fitted with new bathrooms; however these were put on hold until it was considered safe to do so.
Two long standing tenants, the Revd Brian Ritchie and Mrs Jean Jones, sadly died during the period. After re-furbishment to the properties we were able to welcome the Revd. Don. Alcock and the Revd. Robert Wilkinson to the community.
Accommodation is provided for six married couples, four single clergy and three widows.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have taken into account the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit where applicable.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees have power to invest as they see fit.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trustees to keep sufficient reserves to meet any repair work that may become necessary in the foreseeable future.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Borrowell Clergy Homes is governed by a Declaration of Trust dated 21st July 1941 as amended on 4th June 2001, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Our governing document lays down that the Bishop of Coventry, the Archdeacon of Coventry, and the Vicar of St Nicholas, Kenilworth are ex-officio Trustees. Changes in these appointments automatically result in new Trustee appointments.
The rest of the Trustees (up to 5 more) are drawn from an area within 50 miles of the Kenilworth, and must be members of the Church of England.
We therefore look to the members of churches in the area for new Trustees and take advice from clergy in the area, trying to recruit people able in due course to take up the Offices of Clerk and Treasurer in particular.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees are given copies of Charity Commission leaflets outlining the duties of Trustees and are encouraged to attend seminars run for Trustees, Clerks, etc by the Almshouses Association.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments, which are included at market value, 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.
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 - Improvements: 10% on cost and Buildings: 2% on cost
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Funds held by the Charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.
Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds - these are funds that 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.

6. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS
There were no trustees' remuneration or other benefits for the year ended 31st March 2021 nor for the year ended 31st March 2020.
Trustees' expenses
There were no trustees' expenses paid for the year ended 31st March 2021 nor for the year ended 31st March 2020.
7. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
The Trustees have reviewed the requirement for depreciation to be charged on property assets. They are of the opinion that the residual value of the properties is such that were depreciation to be charged, it would be immaterial, and therefore no depreciation has been charged during the year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 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
Objectives and aims
The primary objects of the Charity are the maintenance of homes for:
(a) the permanent residence and retirement of men and women of the clergy of the Church of England, with their spouses and dependent children, who shall be in reduced circumstances and shall by reason of age, sickness or bodily infirmity be wholly or partly incapacitated from holding or continuing to hold any preferment.
(b) the temporary rest, relief or recuperation of sick and infirm men or women of the clergy of the Church of England in reduced circumstances.
The secondary Objects are:
(a) the temporary rest, relief or recuperation of men or women of reduced circumstances, and
(b) the permanent residence and retirement of such men or women as immediately before mentioned in paragraph (a) with a preference for such men or women who are the widows or widowers of deceased clergymen or women formerly resident in the homes.
Activities during the year
The Charity continues with its policy to provide accommodation to retired clergy and widows and partners.
There were no necessary major repairs or improvements made to the properties during the year.
The period was disrupted by the Covid 19 outbreak and subsequent lock down; however essential services were dealt with and the high standard of the accommodation maintained.
It had been anticipated that during the year two properties would be re-fitted with new bathrooms; however these were put on hold until it was considered safe to do so.
Two long standing tenants, the Revd Brian Ritchie and Mrs Jean Jones, sadly died during the period. After re-furbishment to the properties we were able to welcome the Revd. Don. Alcock and the Revd. Robert Wilkinson to the community.
Accommodation is provided for six married couples, four single clergy and three widows.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have taken into account the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit where applicable.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees have power to invest as they see fit.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Trustees to keep sufficient reserves to meet any repair work that may become necessary in the foreseeable future.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Borrowell Clergy Homes is governed by a Declaration of Trust dated 21st July 1941 as amended on 4th June 2001, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Our governing document lays down that the Bishop of Coventry, the Archdeacon of Coventry, and the Vicar of St Nicholas, Kenilworth are ex-officio Trustees. Changes in these appointments automatically result in new Trustee appointments.
The rest of the Trustees (up to 5 more) are drawn from an area within 50 miles of the Kenilworth, and must be members of the Church of England.
We therefore look to the members of churches in the area for new Trustees and take advice from clergy in the area, trying to recruit people able in due course to take up the Offices of Clerk and Treasurer in particular.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees are given copies of Charity Commission leaflets outlining the duties of Trustees and are encouraged to attend seminars run for Trustees, Clerks, etc by the Almshouses Association.

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').

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.
Freehold property - Improvements: 10% on cost and Buildings: 2% on cost
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Funds held by the Charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.
Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds - these are funds that 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.
