ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL, WILTON TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
LEGAL STATUS
The hospital is a registered charity number 255110. It was founded many years ago and existed as the Corporation of the Prior, Brethren and Sisters of the Hospital of St John near Wilton until a Charity Commissioners' scheme was made on 21 May 1968 and supplemental orders on 23 March 1978 and 28 October 1996. The charity deregistered from the Housing Corporation as a Registered Social Landlord from 28 September 2004.
OBJECTS
The principal charitable object of the Charity is the provision of almshouse accommodation for needy persons resident in the District of Salisbury at the time of appointment. This is clearly for the public benefit.
ACTIVITIES
The Hospital houses residents in 19 units of accommodation in Wilton, 6 of which are in the new block built as a joint project with the College of Matrons, Salisbury in 1997.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees of the Charity are able to use the surplus accumulated income over expenditure on future projects, to improve the facilities and operation of the Almshouse. The Extraordinary Repair reserve of £63,731 is set aside to meet the cost of extraordinary repairs to the almshouses. The trustees have resolved to try to set aside £10,000 pa to build up the Charity's general reserve over the next few years, subject to the ongoing maintenance needs of the properties. The general reserve at 31 December 2023 was £221,483.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees' policy is to obtain sufficient income from investments to help meet the costs of the Charity, and also to maintain the real value of the Charity's investments over the long-term by investing in a portfolio of equities, fixed interest stocks and cash. This is achieved by investing in a range of common investment funds for charities managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd. The Trustees are bound by the Trustee Act 2000.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the risks. The principal risks faced by the charity lie in the performance of investments and property management. This is mitigated by retaining expert professional investment managers and investing in a range of diversified funds.
ORGANISATION
The Trustees remain closely involved in the operation of the Charity. The part-time dedicated Clerk, appointed in 2007, retains responsibility for administrative matters and the management of the accounts including responsibility for the collection of residents' contributions. The Clerk operates from an office situated within St John's Hospital. He also has responsibility for the payment and subsequent recovery of certain items of expenditure shared jointly with Matrons' College. The Trustees meet a minimum of three times a year. New trustees are recruited and appointed following personal recommendation by the existing Trustee body and are trained by the Chairman and the Clerk. The salaries and fees of key management personnel are set in consultation with the trustees. The charity's property is held by the Official Custodian for Charities.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL, WILTON TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS (Continued)
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Charity's schemes. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENT
The Hospital continues to provide nineteen units of accommodation for residents, in addition to a Flat reserved for the Warden. A further twelve Flats belonging to the College of Matrons share the site.
Two of our ex-Officio Trustees – the Dean of Salisbury and a representative of Wiltshire Council, had elected to relinquish their posts and the Charity Commission had been invited to agree a proposed amendment to the Governing Document
The remaining six Trustees remained in post throughout the year, under the Chairmanship of Mr Shaun Cowlam.
Trustees agreed one further proposed change to the Governing Document, which was to discontinue the annual transfer of funds to the Recoupment Fund. This fund already held more that for which the fund was established, and further transfers were no longer deemed necessary. The Charity Commission had been invited to agree this amendment to the Governing Document, but their formal agreement remains to be promulgated.
The Resident Warden remained in post and continued to perform her role as Warden in an outstanding way. Her dedication to her role as Warden and the way in which she carried out her duties has been deeply appreciated by Trustees and Residents alike.
There was one change of occupancy during the year, following the sad death of one of our residents in November 2023. A married couple from Wilton were appointed to take his place and moved into Flat 7 in July 2023 following its redecoration and refurbishment.
A rolling programme of maintenance and repairs continued throughout the year. This included the replacement of all the radiators in Flats 1 to 10. A number of other improvements were made to the Flats and Cottages, including the fitting of new carpets in five of them. Annual gas safety inspections were completed, as were fire safety checks, the servicing of our stair-lifts and fire extinguishers, and maintenance of the personal alarm systems. A defibrillator had also been bought and fitted to the outside of one of the buildings.
A Quinquennial Inspection (QQR) was commissioned and took place November. This included electrical inspections, further fire risk assessments and an asbestos survey. The completed report and recommendations arriving from the QQR will be published in 2024 and work will be set in hand to implement them.
A waiting list continues to be maintained and some fifteen names were on the list at the end of the year. The list is updated quarterly, to confirm that those who have applied still wish to remain under consideration. A number of new applications were added to the list.
The gardens continue to be well maintained by our contractors and by a number of our residents and bring pleasure to all. The borders surrounding the Matrons’ College Block (Flats 11-28) were progressively dug out and replaced with gravel during the year and this work will continue in 2024 .
Social activities began to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, under the enthusiastic leadership of the Warden, and attendance at our weekly Chapel Services also began to pick up, which was most welcome. Once again, our Residents were sustained throughout by their families and friends and by the Wilton Help network. As always, the work and care provided by the Warden was pivotal to the lives and welfare of the Residents throughout the year and both they and the Trustees owe her a huge debt of gratitude.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
REVIEW OF TRANSACTIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The Charity's total income for the year was £148,259 including investment income of £18,644. Expenditure was £183,592, including depreciation of £16,503. Investment fund values increased by £102,919, resulting in a surplus for the year of £67,586.
The twenty second recoupment payment of £5,000 was made in 2021, but no repayments were made in 2022 or 2023, to recoup over 50 years the capital of £226,000 spent on the new almshouses in 1997, pending confirmation by the Charity Commission that the recoupment is complete.
At the year end the Charity had net assets of £1,493,260, including investments worth £1,071,059. The almshouses (inclusive of those with nil cost in the accounts) were insured for £6.155 million.
The Trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to be satisfactory and confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, with the charity's governing documents and the relevant Charity SORP FRS 102. The investments held were acquired in accordance with the powers in the governing Charity Commission Schemes, and the assets held are adequate to fulfil the Charity's obligations.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Charity are prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective from 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. These financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost accounting basis except that investment assets are carried at market value. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. A summary of the more important accounting policies is set out below.
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that demand for the charity's accommodation plus investment income will continue to produce sufficient revenue, so there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The most significant areas of judgement are the non capitalisation of replacement of fixtures and fittings within the properties and key assumptions that affect items in the accounts are to do with estimation of the useful economic life of buildings, furniture, office equipment, IT equipment. With respect to the next reporting period, the year ended 31 December 2024, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Charity are the estimated life of the buildings and the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets. On this basis, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
a) Cash flow
The accounts do not include a cash flow statement because the Charity, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement.
b) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees at their discretion for particular purposes.
Endowment funds are permanent trusts whose income is intended for the benefit of the charity. Transfers between funds are made in accordance with the requirements of the Charity Commission Schemes and Recoupment Order.
Restricted funds hold funds that can only be applied for particular purposes within the objects of the charity.
c)
Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income from the provision of accommodation represent maintenance contributions receivable, after deduction of voids. Such income is recognised when receivable.
Investment income is accounted for when it becomes due for payment. All investment income arising on endowment funds is unrestricted as to its use.
Since 1 September 2003 the charity has employed a warden, the costs of which are shared with the College of Matrons, another almshouse in the Salisbury area. The annual costs are calculated in arrears, of which Matrons' College contributes 40%, this being the same ratio as the ownership of the flats under the warden's supervision. The charity also recharges to Matrons' College shared housing costs. Recharged shared costs are recognised as income when the corresponding expenditure is recognised.

ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL, WILTON
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
d) Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure once there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure on the charitable activity includes those costs associated with the objects of the Charity and therefore includes the costs necessary to maintain the Almshouse for the residents and associated support costs. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs have been allocated between Management Support Costs and Governance costs.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with public accountability of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
The clerk's fees are apportioned 50:50 between Governance and Management Support Costs in approximate proportion to the work involved .
e) Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance
St John's Hospital has established a regular programme of cyclical repairs and maintenance. Costs are charged to the Revenue Account in the year in which they are incurred.
f) Extraordinary Repairs
Costs of Extraordinary Repairs, unless representing major improvements to the properties, are charged to the Revenue Account in the year in which they are incurred.
g) Housing Properties
St John's Hospital was largely reconstructed in the twentieth century but the chapel and site were used for almshouses since 1195. There is no record of the original cost so a nil value has been capitalised. The original buildings are historic, and form part of the endowment. The users of the accounts are principally the Trustees who consider the cost of carrying out a professional valuation to include these assets at a value in the accounts to be considerable compared to the limited additional benefit derived by the users of the accounts.
The cost of Housing Properties represents improvements carried out since 1985, valued at cost, which were funded by a grant from the Housing Corporation, a mortgage loan from the Housing Corporation, now with Royal Bank of Scotland, secured by a charge on housing land and buildings, and from the Charity's own resources.
New almshouses costing £405,949 were built in 1997, of which £226,000 was endowment capital, to be recouped over 50 years.
h) Fixed Asset Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are shown under the heading 'Net gains/(losses) on investments' in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Page 11
ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL, WILTON
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
i) Capitalisation of Interest
Interest on the mortgage loan financing a development is capitalised up to the date of practical completion of the scheme.
j) Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. All freehold properties are being depreciated at the rate of 2% per annum on cost. In accordance with the applicable Charity Commission Schemes, depreciation is charged against the reserves which were used to fund the costs. It is therefore shown against the appropriate columns in the Statement of Financial Activities.
The Trustees have a policy of non-capitalisation of capital expenditure costing less than £2,000 and replacement of components, fixtures and fittings in the accommodation are written off as repairs.
k) Impairment Reviews
The Trustees consider that the recoverable amount of tangible fixed assets exceeds the net book value disclosed in the accounts so an impairment review is not required.
l) Value Added Tax
St John’s Hospital is not registered for Value Added Tax. In these accounts, where applicable, expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
m) Taxation
St John’s Hospital is a registered Charity and is therefore exempt from liability to taxation on its Income and Capital Gains.
n) Debtors
Debtors are measured at the amounts the charity anticipates it will receive from a debt or the amount it has paid in advance for goods or services.
o) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and cash on deposit with a short maturity of three months or less.
p) Liabilities
Liabilities are measured at the amounts the charity anticipates it will pay to settle a debt or the amount it has received in advance for goods or services.
q) Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. They are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments which are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
r) Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 7. There were no outstanding contributions at the year-end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included with the associated staff costs and allocated therefore to raising funds, charitable activities, support and governance costs and charged to the unrestricted funds of the charity.
The money purchase plan is managed by NEST (National Employment Savings Trust). The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions.

All investments are carried at their fair value. The basis of fair value for unlisted common investment funds is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. All investments are charitable common investment funds, namely the CBF Church of England Investment Fund and COIF Charities Investment Fund. The main risk to the Charity from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield.
