THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Executive Committee present their report and the financial statements of the Society for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Activity
The principal activity of the Society continued to be that of providing accommodation for elderly and perhaps lonely people in accordance with the aims and principles of The Abbeyfield Society Limited. The results for the year are set out in the Income and Expenditure Account.
Status
The Society was incorporated under the Companies Act as a company limited by guarantee. The Society is also a registered charity and is registered under the Housing Act. It is also registered with the Regulator for Social Housing (RSH).
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee are directors of the Society under Company Law and Trustees under Charity Law. Those who served during the year are as stated on the information page. The Society has no share capital. However, the Executive Committee Members are all Members of the Company. Under the Articles of Association, the serving Executive Committee may appoint additional Committee Members at any time.
Our Property
In the opinion of the Committee the market value of freehold land and buildings is in excess of £1M.
Review of the Year
At 1st April 2021 core rent was not changed whilst service and management charges were increased by 2.7% following the guidelines laid down by the Ministry of Housing,Communities and Local Government. Over the year the room occupancy was approximately 79%.
The Trustees’ efforts to raise the profile of the House had been successful; the House was full as on 31.03.2022.
In 2021/22, the major programme to upgrade the House facilities - particularly ensuite bathrooms - has continued. Capital expenditure was £10,980. A project to enhance the interior decoration of the communal areas of the House was initiated.
Value for Money Metrics
The Regulator for Social Housing, has required metrics which measure economy, efficiency and effectiveness to be completed; the seven metrics are designed to enable measurement on a comparable basis. These metrics have to be reported with the annual audited Financial Statements.
The Society’s house is a former residence dating back to 1910 which has space for 11 residents’ rooms. Currently the Trustees do not plan to expand the number of rooms.
The Society does not have any borrowings.
The return on capital is dependent on the surplus earned; it fluctuates according to the occupancy level.
The metrics for the current and previous year are shown below. Following the Executive Committee’s decision to introduce a more sustainable staffing level, to improve the system for emergency calls by the residents when the house managers are not on the premises and to comply fully with health and safety legislation developments, it is anticipated that the margins and return on capital will worsen in the next year.

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Society does not have targets for these metrics.

-
The return on capital employed: 2022 – (3%) (2021: (8%)).
Public Benefit
The Executive Committee have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and the Executive Committee have, in their view, met the public benefit requirement by making the Society available to any member of the public in accordance with its objects of providing accommodation for lonely and elderly people.
The Society as a Member Society of The Abbeyfield Society Ltd aims to enhance the quality of life for older people. It is believed that this is beneficial to the section of the public comprising elderly people who do not own their accommodation and in some cases cannot afford to rent at commercial rates but who are seeking comfortable accommodation which they can afford and where they may take advantage of living in a small community that provides companionship.
Insurance
The Society has Directors’ and Officers' Liability insurance for all the Committee Members in relation to the Society’s affairs.
Method of appointment of Executive Committee Members and organisational structure
New Members are appointed by the existing Executive Committee. The selection of the appointees is based on pertinent qualifications and/or relevant experience. Members receive a role outline in addition to a personalised induction from other Committee Members relevant to their duties. The Executive Committee jointly makes decisions affecting the Society and those decisions are recorded in meeting minutes. Training is provided principally through attendance at courses staged by The Abbeyfield Society Ltd that are aimed at keeping members abreast of changes in legislation or developments in practice.
Future Plans
The Executive Committee has put in place a more robust system for emergency calls by residents when the house managers are not on the premises.
In a recently completed strategy review, The Abbeyfield Society Ltd has encouraged smaller member Societies to consolidate their operations wherever possible. Acting on this guidance, the Executive Committee are exploring the potential for collaborating with other local Member Societies. Opportunities for overcoming difficulties in finding competent local tradespeople and containing costs are likely to be achieved.
The Executive Committee has initiated a review of the interior décor of the House and will be assessing the feasibility of refreshing the décor to make the House more appealing for existing and prospective residents.

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Statement of members’ responsibilities
The members (who are also directors of The Abbeyfield Chalfonts Society Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Executive Committees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.
In so far as the members are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
• the members have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Society to maintain unrestricted funds not designated or invested in tangible fixed assets (“the free reserves”) at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure for management and administration costs. The level was maintained throughout the year under review. The Executive Committee considers the current level of reserve funds and their increase a matter of importance for such an old house and to cover possible long-term occupancy voids.
Risk Management
The Executive Committee have conducted a review of the major risks to the work of the Society and of the controls and procedures in place to mitigate them. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Society.
The principal risks identified are:
Jeopardy to the reputation of the Society through
-
failure to maintain the services provided at the desired level
-
lapses in complying with Health and Safety requirements
-
neglect of the premises
-
failure to protect the House against infection from a pandemic or epidemic

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Deterioration in the level of care provided due to:
-
failure to recruit and retain suitable staff
-
neglect to training
Financial instability due to
-
low room occupancy
-
ineffective cost control
In response to the pandemic, the Trustees introduced an extreme lockdown of the House to protect against this unprecedented threat. House Managers agreed to live in the House for 12 weeks from 24[th] March 2020 and were not permitted to leave the House for any reason. No visitors or staff not living in the House were given access. Following this period, guidelines for Supported Housing were followed as per the Government website.
Auditors
The Auditors, Cansdales Audit LLP, have expressed their willingness to continue in office and a resolution to reappoint them as auditors will be put to the Members at the Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies and paragraph 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Abbeyfield Chalfont Society Ltd (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the executive committees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the executive committee have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The executive committee are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the executive committees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If,

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED
(A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the report of the executive committee for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the report of the executive committee has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the report of the executive committee.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of members’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the executive committee were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the report of the executive committee and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the executive committee
As explained more fully in the statement of executive committee responsibilities, the members (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the executive committee determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the executive committee are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the executive committee either intends to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

THE ABBEYFIELD CHALFONTS SOCIETY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the members.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the executive committee use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 137 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
