## **The Abbeyfield Thirsk & Sowerby Society Limited** 

## **Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Director's Report)** 

## **for the year ended 31 May 2021** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the Society for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the society for the year ended 31 May 2021. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Society is registered with Homes England (number H3470), is a company limited by guarantee (number 953566), having no share capital and with solely charitable objectives, and registered as a charity (number 259951). The liability of the members in the event of a winding up is limited by guarantee to an amount not exceeding £1 per trustee. 

The governing document is its memorandum and articles of association dated 1 December 2009. 

## **TRUSTEES** 

The trustees who served during the year were as follows: AA Bardon Chairman Mrs A D Turner Treasurer and Company Secretary 

J Digby Mrs S Holt C Sykes Mrs J Wilkin Mrs G R Fox Mrs S Walker 

Mrs G R Fox and Mrs S Walker retire by rotation in accordance with the rules of the Society and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. 

New trustees are given adequate training in respect of their legal obligations under charity and company law, in particular in relation to the Charity Commission Guidance on Public Benefit, the company memorandum and articles of association dated 1 December 2009, and the trustees decision making processes. 

## **ORGANISATION** 

A Committee of Directors, who meet quarterly, administers the Society. There are currently eight employees appointed by the Directors. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The Directors have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The principal activity and source of income of the Society is the provision of sheltered accommodation for the elderly in accordance with the aims and principles of the Abbeyfield Society Limited. 

## **REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT** 

The Society continues to develop and it is pleasing to note that The Limes has 

been fully occupied over the last year which is very encouraging. Two of the rental properties have seen changes in tenancy but all Residents and Tenants enjoy living in quality accommodation. 

The year from June 2020 to the end of May 2021 has been the most challenging year in all respects due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the unstinting commitment, dedication and sheer determination of every single person has helped to keep the environment at The Limes as safe as possible for residents and staff and is to be commended. The ever changing situation regarding rising infections in the area and nationally resulted in a constant review of the measures we had to put in place and everyone was affected by not being able to physically see and spend time with their friends and family for some considerable time. It is good to report that to date there have been no infections at The Limes and all residents and staff have kept well.

## **For the Year ended 31 May 2021** 

## **REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT - continued** 

When some restrictions were eventually eased, despite its tired demeanour, the summer house, which was purchased in 1998 in memory of our late first ever Housekeeper Miss Oates, came into its own on numerous occasions by acting as a hair salon and outdoor meeting point allowing some ‘normality’ to be reintroduced and although it will be replaced in the coming year with a new one, the old summer house will be remembered with affection. 

In the midst of all the ups and downs The Limes celebrated two birthdays of 101 and residents have enjoyed ‘socially distanced’ gatherings by way of quizzes and talks and enjoyed joining together for lunch on a daily basis when it was safe to do so. 

There has been one change of occupancy in the rental properties and one change of occupancy in The Limes which is very encouraging. 

Executive meetings took place online using ‘Zoom’ as face to face meetings were not allowed and this was a new opportunity which allowed Trustees to ‘meet’ and The Society’s business to continue. 

Despite the anxious nature of the past year it has been rewarding and successful at the same time and special thanks go to the staff and friends of The Limes for their dedication and to the Trustees for their unstinting commitment and devotion to the ongoing success and sustainability of The Society. 

## **FINANCIAL RESULTS** 

Occupancy levels during the year were approximately 99% (2020 - 99%). The results for the year are as set out in the income and expenditure account and the surplus on ordinary activities of £84,094 (2020 - £91,256) will be transferred to the income and expenditure accumulated surplus. In addition the Major repairs reserve has increased by £7,422 (2020 - £6,766) in the event of the need for major refurbishments. 

The financial position at the end of the year is shown on page 7. The Directors consider the results for the year and the state of affairs of the Society to be satisfactory. 

## **RESERVES POLICY AND RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Directors aim to keep cash reserves equivalent to three months running costs (approximately £60,000). Any surplus funds will be retained and used to assist in the purchase of future housing properties and to ensure the properties are maintained to a high standard. 

The Directors monitor the financial position of the Society at each committee meeting and also examine other operational and business risks. The Directors are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks by following the relevant Abbeyfield Standards procedures 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Abbeyfield Thirsk and Sowerby Limited for the purpose of Company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and applications of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES - continued** 

- 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Society's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the Society's aims and objectives which they have set. 

The Trustees are committed to furthering the Society's objectives primarily by providing high quality care and support to elderly users of the Society's facilities. It is the objective of the trustees each year to maximise the public benefit of the society in providing high quality care and support, having regard to the extent of the Society's income and reserves, the cost of the facilities and the ability of residents to make payments from their own resources 

In accordance with the requirements of the Regulator of Social Housing the Society sets out below the Value for Money Metrics in accordance with the Technical note guidance dated June 2021. 

Metrics 1 and 2 are Zero on the basis that there has been no increase in housing units during the year. 

Metrics 3 and 4 are Zero on the basis that the Society has no debt or loan finance.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of The Abbeyfield Thirsk & Sowerby Society Limited** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 May 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act"). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act . 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

The company's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 

   - the financial statements do not accord with such records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an 

the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP 

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 financial statements to be reached.
