NORTHAM TRUST TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 Flnaneial r•vièw Totsl incoming resources in the year increased from £94,445 to £132,339, mainly due lo a loan pr￿1￿J81Y r￿1Ved from E.A.T. (Holdingsl Limited being converted into a donatyon in 2024 - total ¢k*nations of £68,281 were received in 2023 to assist in funding the Costs to rebuild two of Ihe four burrfJalows, compared to the £100,000 dona￿On recelved In 2024. Resldenls, contrfbutions increased by £5,147 10 £26.690 wlh 811 four bungalows being occul￿ed for the entire year, and inve81ment income Increased by £1,128 to £5,649. Totsl exFenditure in the year was £22,492 {2023.' £34,505). Prcperty repairs decreased from £20,249 to £8,343 as 2023 costs induded £8,687 for the replacement of kitchen units, £1,470 on new floor coverings, £666 for clearance of and minci repairs to a vacated flat and £1,280 on removal and instsllats'on costs. Further details of expenditure are provided in the n¢)tss to th8 financial statements. Net unrealised losses on investments were £1,180 {2023."1oss of£5,8741. Nel inoome for the yeBr was £108,68712023." £54.066). Reserves pollcy General reserves freely available at 5 April 2024 werè £180.766 {2023'. £78,269). The free reserves comprise unrestrirAed funds not invested in tsngible fixed assets. The freély available reserves invested at 5 April 2024 lolalled £136,818 12023.. £137,978). These investments are dassified as fixed assets and are held to ensure onlinuty in the level of rent subsidy provided to our tenants, who a￿ the beneficiar￿$ of the charity. A material reduction or wthdrawal of the subsidy with little or no notice would. in our opinion. cause the very hardships which the charlty 8Sm8 to alleviate. The balance of free r￿r¥eS at 5 Apdl 2024 totalled £43,948 (2023.. £Nill. The trustees have pwlously adopted a policy of maintaining free resources not gamiarkad for long temi inv￿lmant at a level whi¢h is arproximately equivalent to tsvelve months of expected annual expenditure. This Is eslimaled to equate to approximately £31,OW lo £35,000 al 5 April 2024. At fhis level, the liustees consider that, in the event of a significant decrease in income. they would be able. in the short term, to continue to meet their obligatsons lo re￿dents, whilst maint¥ining their wtributions a the pre3ent low level. It would obviously be nec£ssary lo GOn￿der h¢)w income would be replaced or activities changed. Free reserves were above target level at the year end and, following completion of the project to rebuild two of the bungalows owned by the Trust. all properties are rthv occupied and incom& from resKlenls' contributions ha8 increased. As a result, it is ex[￿rted that free reserves will incre88e over the medium term. The trustees will continue lo review their reserves poliw on a regular basis. Investment pollcy and perforniance The trustees have consxlered the m08t appropriate policy for investing funds arKI consider that sFe￿alIsed unil trusts designed for the charity sector, and a building $9¢iety investment a￿O￿nI. meet their requirement to generate both income and capital grovrth with a low level of risk. Income from these inv8slments for the year was £5.649 12023.. £4,521}. In 2024, m#rkel e£Jndf(ions resulted in 8n unrèalised kjss on the unit trust in¥e5tsnents of £1.160. Thi5 compare5 to an unreali8ed loss of £5.874 in 2023. Futurg plans The trustees, objecb.ve is to continue lo achieve high levels of occupancy ty maintainlng the cuffenl high standards of accommodation, whilst m8inlaining residents, contributions at a low thl. Structure. governance and management The charity is an unincorporated charity registered ￿rfth Ihg Charlty Commlsslon for England and Wales. The trust deed provides for a minimum of four and a maximum of ten trustees. The trustees have ttrp power lo appoint substitute or addilKJnal trustees. The tntstees may. If Ot appears expedient and proper so to do, invite Northamplonshire County Counal lo nominate persons for conSiderat￿n by thè tnjslees in the 8Fpoinlment of new or additional trustees.
