CHARITY OF JOHN TOWNSON & JOHN WARD
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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 first obligation of the Trustees is to meet the outgoings and repair and maintain the homes. Up to one third of any remaining income may be distributed as grants for the advancement of education. The balance may be applied for relief of "those in need" among the residents. Any residue may be used for the general benefit of parish inhabitants.
Land and Buildings
In addition to the community centre and bungalows at Townson Close, the Charity owns the playing field within the village, 23.9 acres of land at Old Poors Gorse and 1 acre on the edge of the village known as Widows Mite. The Charity surrendered the lease of the small playground in Charles Close from Daventry District Council in September 2013.
Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and believe that the objectives and aims above further the charity's purposes for the public benefit.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Chairman's Annual Report
The end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 brought the hope that we as Trustees would see a return to normal working and planning of the Social and Pastoral events for our Residents, along with the smooth return of all aspects of the running of the Community Centre, and various assets of the Charity.
Unfortunately, this was not be. A leak under the floor of the Centre kitchen, progressed considerably before we noticed damp beginning to creep up the dividing wall between the lobby and the kitchen. On calling in professional advice we found that the water pipe under the kitchen floor had split and water had progressed under all the floor tiles, into the lobby, and was creeping up the dividing wall.
Our Plumbers advice was that we immediately cut off that water supply and re-routed the water along a completely different set of installed piping. Further conversations with plumbers and Surveyors informed us that the pipes laid at the time of the building of the Centre were liable to breaking as they were not laid to the specifications demanded for new builds from the mid-1980s.
Our Insurance Assessors were informed and also came along to view the damage. A further problem which we Trustees were already aware of was that there was Asbestos Resin in all the floor tiles laid down in the original build of the Community Area, and would have to be removed by a professional Asbestos Company. At this stage the Trustees took the decision to appoint an Asbestos Company to remove all the tiling from the whole of the downstairs area which meant we would have to pay at least half the cost of the removal, and carpet re-fitting, as the water damage only affected the kitchen, utility room and lobby. The other area was the main entrance hall, Office and two toilets, but it was felt that if we were having the asbestos cleared we should do so in one go whilst the Contractor was on the premises.
Fortunately, the large Community room was re-floored in the late 1980s due to subsidence at that time, and new flooring was laid when new rules outlawing asbestos in a buildings was in place. The new additional pool room and storage area was also exempt from any asbestos again being a 1980s extension.
The summer of 2023 was extremely difficult to manage, the kitchen and utility area had to be cleared along with all storage space in the utility room, this was moved to the pool room along with all the white goods kitchen equipment and the cooker. The Office was also emptied and set up in the main Community room thus halving the area for any Social get together or meeting of any sort.
Contractors were difficult to engage, the good ones being booked for months ahead, but we managed to get work going, pleading at times with different workman, but it was still took from April to October to get most of the work completed, and the kitchen and utility ready to move everything back into their right place.
By mid-October we were ready to once again function with a new kitchen, new carpeting, and everything back to normal. A huge thank you was due to both our Clerk, and our Housekeeper for managing to keep their sanity throughout this time. We had managed to provide our coffee mornings and lunches for our older or disabled Residents throughout the summer, but we were very grateful for hot sunny days when we could move to the lawn outside to provide coffee and food.
It has been an exceptional year for the Trustees to manage, in terms of decisions on spending but the options were weighed up carefully and the final decisions despite the overall costs were considered worth it, to get the whole of the original downstairs treated for the asbestos and re-carpeting despite the fact we had to bear the expense of the half work not covered by the Insurance cover due to the leakage in the kitchen area. How prophetic my paragraph in my report of 2021 seems now regarding the age of the Centre and Bungalows.
Along the way, the Youth Club has not re-started, that group of teenagers moving onto University now, enquiries have been made about the possibility of a Mums and Tots group, which we have hosted in previous years, depending on the demographics of the ages of youngsters in the Village. We support wholeheartedly the activities of Old Cricket Club, who cater for experienced Cricketers in high leagues, to ladies teams, and youngsters coaching, and we work very well with the Officials running the Club. Closer links are being forged with the Village Hall to the benefit of all.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
All our bungalows are currently occupied and Residents well. We have had changes within the Trustees, Nick Moore, retiring in April this year after serving with us since 2010, followed by Peter Patton in June, a Trustee since 2012. Steve Bocking who was our Parish Council representative changed over to be a nominated Trustee and David Gwinn joined us in October 2022.
During the winter of 2022/23 we opened the doors of our Community Centre room five days a week for the Warm Spaces initiative, being mindful of some of our Residents facing difficulties in heating their homes, this will continue until March/April 2023 when the weather improves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
A deficit of £183,156 was incurred by the charity in the year. At the reporting date the charity had restricted reserves totalling £64,834 and total reserves of £1,282,400.
Investment policy and objectives
The Investment Managers are required to maintain the value of the investments in real terms and produce an income of £30,000 p.a. or such other sums as may be agreed from time to time.
Reserves policy
The reserves are held for the future longevity of the Charity and any future ventures that would benefit the residents of the village.
There is no further reserves policy in place as the charity feels the above is sufficient for the nature of the charity.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The Schemes
There are four main Schemes governing the Charity. The first is dated 1 September 1897 and sets out the original aims of the Charity as "being for the benefit of the deserving poor, resident in Old, and for the advancement of the education of the children of the poor residents of Old". These aims continue to determine the scope of the operation of the Charity but have been re-stated and expanded in the first amending scheme, dated 25 April 1972. The second amending Scheme dated 25 May 1976 is concerned with the management of the homes in Townson Close and playing field, and makes the upkeep of the homes a priority for the Charity. The third amending Scheme dated 25 May 1976 is concerned with the criteria for selection of suitability for any vacant properties. Each of these amending schemes also included provisions relating to the management of the Charity. Further amendments to the arrangements for management were made on 28 February 2000 and on 1 May 2007 to the provisions relating to the numbers of Trustees and to the proportion of nominated and co-opted Trustees and the length of their terms of office. On 13 January 2016 a further amendment to the arrangement for management was made, relating to the criteria for selection of suitability for any vacant property.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are recruited from those living in the parish or its vicinity with the aim that the body of Trustees will include a breadth of background and experience. Trustees' induction includes being given the Trust Deeds, copies of minutes and accounts, and spending time with the Clerk to understand the day to day operation.
There are currently 8 serving Trustees. Changes in the year have been 1 co-opted resignation, replaced by another. Full details are mentioned in the Chair Report.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure and Administration
The Trustees met 12 times this year in person at the Community Centre. Meetings were advertised locally with residents invited to attend the Public part of each meeting so that they may raise any concerns or queries upon which the Charity may be able to comment and/or act. The Trustees were assisted in the general running of the Charity by a part time Clerk who prepared agendas, minute meetings and who dealt with the day to day administration together with any pastoral issues arising.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Trustees together with the Investment Manager review the major investment risks faced by the Charity and they believe that steps have been taken to minimise such risks. An annual review of such risks is made and professional advice is taken where appropriate.
Each year a ROSPA inspection is undertaken of the playground and playing field in Charles Close. The Trustees consider all recommendations made and take such resulting action as they consider appropriate.
The Charity has in place policies of insurance for the usual risks, namely for property damage to the bungalows and community centre, employer's liability and cover for public and products liability.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARITY OF JOHN TOWNSON & JOHN WARD
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Charity of John Townson & John Ward
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Charity of John Townson & John Ward (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
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 independent examination 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 independent examiner's 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 independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. 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.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies below.
Going concern
There are no material going concern uncertainties.
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 calculated at the following rates:
Land and buildings 0% Equipment Over 3 years straight line Playing field equipment Over 7 years straight line
Equipment purchased for the Community Centre is capitalised if the value equals £500 or more.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The trustees are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The trustees consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
The Trustees are carrying the homes in Townson Close at cost in the financial statements as they are of the opinion that the programme of repairs and modernisation ensures that any depreciation would be immaterial.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds 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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of financial activities under administrative expenses.
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the statement of financial activities. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
Investments
Investments are valued at fair value at the year end with changes during the year going to the statement of financial activities.
