## **The Silverwood & Slater Eventide Homes**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2025**
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2025. 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.
The Trustees hold regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
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.
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. In addition other visits are made during the year when matters require attention. 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. The next such report is to be undertaken in 2025.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The results shown within these financial statements are in line with expectations of the Trustees.
## **Principal funding sources**
## **Maintenance contributions:**
The Trustees reviewed the Maintenance Contributions at the Annual General Meeting held on 3 October 2024.. After due consideration of the Charity's Budget and the Non-Statutory Valuation obtained from the Valuation Office Agency it was resolved that the Maintenance Contribution would be increase by a £2 per week effective from 1 February 2025.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
Following the disclosure in last year's Report that the Trustees were seeking to simplify the management of their investments, the Trustees appointed an Independent Financial Adviser to advise and assist them in the management of their investment portfolio. Following that advice all the existing investments of the Charity were encashed in July 2024 and reinvested in an Investment Fund managed on a discretionary basis by RBC Brewin Dolphin.
A valuation of the Charity's investments was reviewed at the Annual General Meeting held on 3 October 2024. The valuation of £309,903 showed an increase of £11,928 compared with the value on 31 January 2024 after eliminating the effect of new investment of £15,000 and re-invested dividends of £4,997. The value on 31 January 2025 of £323,616 showed a further increase since the Annual General meeting of £15,294 after eliminating the effects of re-invested dividends of £2163 and Advisor's fees paid of £3,744. Thus in the financial year under review the overall increase amounted to £27,222 calculated on the above basis. In the five year period from 31 January 2020 to 31 January 2025 the overall decrease in the value of the Charity's investments was £10,887 calculated on the same basis as above.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2025**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **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.
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.
The investments relating to both the EMF and CMF are both now held in the RBC Brewin Dolphin Investment Fund referred to above. During the year transfers were made from the Income Fund of £7,500 to the Extraordinary Repair Fund and £17,500 to the Cyclical Maintenance Fund.
## **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 £1,402,512 together with Public Liability Indemnity (Limit £5 million), Legal Expenses Cover (limit £250,000) and Professional Indemnity and Loss Assistance (limit £100,000 each). In addition there is also cover for Management Protection with a limit of £1 million.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The Trustees propose to continue their policy of upgrading the properties (particularly the bathrooms and kitchens) as and when a vacancy occurs or when the need arises in order to meet the criterion referred to in the Decent Homes Standard of providing modern facilities and services. It is intended to re-roof the properties during the next financial year.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Silverwood and Slater Eventide Homes were founded by the Will of Ruth Slater dated 8 June 1955 in memory of her mother Emily Silverwood and her husband Schofield Slater. The Will was proved in the Principal Probate Registry on 10 October 1960.
## **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 residents of the former historical Borough of Keighley suitable for appointment as almspersons.
## **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 2025.
## **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.
