## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2023**
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2023. 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 for Smaller Entities (the FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Charity was established to provide residences for poor and aged persons being any married couple widow or spinster residing for the time being in the Borough of Keighley, West Yorkshire who is or are over the age of sixty years. However on 27 October 2010 the Charity Commission authorised a Scheme to alter Clause 5 of the Governing Document as follows :-
1) The words married couple widow or spinster" deleted and replaced with "person" and
2) The words "but nothing shall prevent a widower already in occupation remaining as such" deleted and
3) The words "the Committee may, in exceptional circumstances, appoint a resident who lives outside the said Borough of Keighley but is otherwise qualified. The Committee must record in the record of their meetings the nature of the exceptional circumstances justifying the appointment. The number of residents appointed under this sub-clause must not exceed two at any one time", to be added to the end of the clause.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Trustees and the Clerk actively manage the properties and maintain close contact with the residents so as to ensure that any necessary maintenance and repairs or other matters requiring attention are promptly dealt with. The Clerk ensures that all statutory requirements and safety inspections are carried out in a timely manner.
All properties have been fully occupied during the year although sadly the resident at number 14 passed away shortly after the year end.
The Trustees make an annual visit to the almshouses with a view to checking the condition of the properties and to enable them to meet the residents and listen to any matters of concern. A Quinquennial Condition Report prepared by a qualified Architect is provided to assist the Trustees in properly maintaining the properties to an acceptable standard. The last such inspection was carried out in 2020 and all major matters have been attended to. However the roofs of all properties may well require replacement in the near future.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The results shown within these financial statements are in line with expectations of the Trustees.
## **Principal funding sources**
## **Maintenance contributions:**
In accordance with their normal procedure the Trustees reviewed the Maintenance Contributions at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 September 2022. After due consideration of the Charity's Budget and the Non-Statutory Valuation obtained from the Valuation Office Agency it was nevertheless resolved that, in view of the current financial pressures for residents, the Maintenance Contribution should remain unchanged for the year commencing 1 February 2023.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Investment policy and objectives**
A valuation of the Charity's investments was reviewed at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 September 2022. The valuation of £255,010 revealed a substantial decrease of £38,377 compared with the value on 31 January 2022 after eliminating the effect of re-invested dividends of £5,727. The value on 31 January 2023 of £275,473 however showed an increase since the Annual General meeting of £16,891 after eliminating the effects of re-invested dividends of £3,572. Thus in the financial year under review the overall decrease amounted to £21,486 after eliminating re-invested dividends of £9,299. In the three-year period from 31 January 2020 to 31 January 2023 the overall decrease in the value of the Charity's investments was £30,394 calculated on the same basis as above.
The Trustees resolved to make no further investments during the year as they are currently in the process of seeking professional advice with a view to both simplifying and managing the Charity's portfolio.
## **Reserves policy**
The Charity has in place a reserves policy and normally makes a contribution to the Extraordinary Repair Fund (ERF). This is a reserve fund for future major expenditure to which transfers are made from Income and Expenditure Account. It can be drawn upon to meet major items of repair or improvements to the almshouses. Contributions to the ERF are invested in Accumulation Units in either the Blackrock BLK Charities UK Bond Fund or the M&G Charity Multi Asset Fund and added to the Charity's existing holdings.
The Cyclical Maintenance Fund (CMF) to which transfers are also made from Income and Expenditure Account is retained to meet maintenance occurring at regular intervals e.g. external redecoration and the cost of professional fees in respect of quinquennial inspections. This fund is invested in the Blackrock BLK Charities UK Bond Fund and the CCLA Investment Management Limited COIF Charities Deposit Fund.
In view of the Investment review referred to above the Trustees have made no transfers to either the ERF or CMF Funds which they believe to be adequate at the present time.
## **Insurances**
The Trustees maintain an Almshouse Insurance Policy to cover both the value of the Buildings (but not residents' contents) for a sum insured of £1,165,362 with Public Liability Indemnity (Limit £5 million) and Charity & Charity Trustee Liability (indemnity limit £250,000). The policy also covers Legal Expenses, and Management Protection (limit £250,000 each) and Professional Indemnity and Loss Assistance (limit £250,000 each).
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The Charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The original Probate and Will of Ruth Slater together with the documents of title are stored at the offices of AWB Charlesworth Solicitors Limited of Aireside House Royd Ings Avenue Keighley BD21 4BZ.
## **Organisational structure**
The Charity is administered by a Committee of not more than six persons who are Trustees of the Charity. If a member of the Committee ceases to hold office by reason of resignation, disqualification or death the continuing members thereof shall appoint a successor. The Committee shall have full power to make such rules for regulating the management of the Charity as in its absolute discretion it thinks fit.
The Charity is the owner of eight almshouses situated at Harewood Road Keighley West Yorkshire. When there is a vacancy the Committee endeavour to find a resident of the former historical Borough of Keighley suitable for appointment as an almspersons.
## **Related parties**
The Charity has no related parties.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Silverwood & Slater Eventide Homes**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Silverwood & Slater Eventide Homes**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Silverwood & Slater Eventide Homes (the Trust) for the year ended 31 January 2023.
## **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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
