Plymouth Public Dispensary Trustees. Annual Report Icontinu8d) Year ended 31 December 2020 Stwcture, gov•manco and managgmont History and activities of the Trust The Charity Trust, which dates from 1798, is regulated under a Scheme, approved by the Board of Chanty Commissioners for England and Wales, which came into effect on 22 November 1999. Our main activities and who we try lo help are described below. All our charitable activities fctus on the relief of persons who are sick, convalescent, disabled or infirm and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Charity income dellves from ftjnds invested in COIF and rental from the Public Dispensary Building, a property built be￿een 1806 and 1809. following the foundation of the Charity in 1798, which the Trust owns. Betsveen 1948 and 2013 the building known as "The Public Dispensary" in Calhenne Street, Plymouth was leaseu lo the Secretary of State for Heallh an(J has been used for a variety of purpose5 by the National Health Service. A new lease agreement was in place for a period of seven years from 26 December 2006 al an agreed rent of £45,000 per annum. However, the then tenants exercised an option lo lerminale the lease early on 31 March 2013. A payment of £55,000 was received in ￿SpeCt of dilapidalions. The building remained empty for some time bul a new tenancy with the Red Cross ¢ommenceo In March 2015. The objects of the Charity, broadty relate to the use of the income for "the relief of persons in need in the area of benefit (the boundaries of the area of Plyrnouth City Council) who are sick, convalescent. disabled or infirm by relieving their suffering or assisting their ￿0very, Management and governan¢e arrangements The Scheme permrts there lo be seven trustees. Were there a requirement for new trustees. these would be identified and appointed by the remaining trustees. The chair of trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves awareness of a Iruslee's responsibilities. the governing docurnent. administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new trustee would receive copies of the previous yearfs ann¢Jal report and accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee". What you need to Know,. The trustees hold office for four years In accordance with the expiry dates as shown on page 1. All trustees may be re-elected on expiry of their term and several have served for a number of years. The Iruslees annually Teview the risks that the charity faces. To date these have mainly related to investment management and continuing to rent the Public Dispensary Building. Looking to the future trustees are also aware of risks associated with making grants Ifor example fraud and charities seeking tsvo grants for the same project). They will be looking at what procedu￿5 may be instituted to rcduce risk in this area during the coming year. Procedures and policy for gfanl making During 2020 the Iruslees met on five occasions and income was disbursed to the extent shown in the annual accounts in grants mainly to individuals or families. These needs were, in the main, brought to the notice of the Iruslees by Health professionals or Social Workers on whose expertise. in the evaluation of S￿CknesS and need. the Iruslees relied for information. ￿ere circumstances dictate il prudent, the chairman or any of the other Iruslees, will undertake telephone enquiries or visits lo ensure monies are given to provide relief in legitimate circumstances. It follows that grants are not generally made lo large regional or national organisalions unless they have identified a specific Individual in the boundaries of the city who meets the criteria.

Plymouth Public Dispensary Trustees. Annual Report (contlnued) Year ended 31 December 2020 Structure. governance and management(continued) Objèctives and activities The objects of the Charity, broadly relate lo the use of the income for'the relief of persons in need in the area of benefit {Ihe boundaries of the area of Plymouth City Council) who are sick. convalescent, disabled or infirm by ￿l￿vIng their suffering or assisting their recovery" Achlevements and perfomianct In meeting the objects of the charity. the Trust has given grants towards a wide range of disabled equipment or fittings for individuals. homes. Occasionally the Trust has shared the cost of specific building works with other charities, or the local authorities and has assisted with respite care and holiday costs. Where other local organisalions also seek to provide similar support, the Iruslees have sancts'oned larger, block grants on the undeTStanding that full records of the individual recipients are maintained. In the case of the hospice, where household fittings or equipment are often required for a short loan period, the trustees require that equipments are returned to a "pool" for subsequent further use. Essentially the trustees aim to assist. in the longer term, as many people as possible and they would not look lo support any exceedingly expensive project unless the charitable costs were shared elsewhere. In the same vein, they would not normally support projects encompassing computer technology In view of the relative short-lerm benefit and the inevitable longer term replacement costs. The smallest individual grant made in 2020 was £95, the largest grant was £2,000. Each individual case, as submitted to the Trust was, as ever, treated on its own merits. Periodically, the Iruslees review the number of grants made and, where possible. lake steps lo encourage an increase in applications made lo the Trust. Grant expenditure to individuals was lower this year than in previous years as restrictions imposed due lo the global pandemic prevented professionals from meeting with Clients. This culminated in fewer applications for grant funding being received. With the imminent easing of reslnctions we would hope lo be able to provide more support lo individuals in the next year. Publlc Benefft The charity Trustees have complied with the duty of the charib.es Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trust continues lo support individuals and orqanisations in the City of Plymouth which aims to support those in need. ReseNes At the end of the fsnancial year free reserves were £40,71612019 £36,206) representing approximately 11 months average expenditure al 2020 levels However, this sum depends on the level of funding approved by the trustees. all applications being ￿vieWed on merit. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed annually. The trustees believe the reserves held to be adequate for the Trust lo be regarded as a going concem. Financial review The total incoming resources for 2020 were £56,075 12019 £56,113), amounts paid to maintain the charity's propety were £13,80912019 £3,770) lolal grants paid out were £22,34812019 £29,490) and the govemance costs for 2020 amounted to £14,51412019 £16,211). The Red Cross signed a five-year lease commencing in November 2019. The trustees believe that the carrying value of the property of £300,000 as revised in the 2019 accounts, remains appropriate.

Plymouth Public Dispensary Notes to the Financial Statements icontin4*dJ Year ended 31 December 2020 Accounting policies (continued) Investments (¢onllnu8dl Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditu￿. Investment property Investment propety is initially fe¢orded at cost, which includes pu￿haSe price and any directty attributable expenditure. Investment propety is revalued to its fair value al each feporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in Income or expenditure. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment propety, Il shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis. Imp•imient 01 flxed assets A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset Is impaired ac￿rdinglY. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal al each reKX)rting date For the pun)oses of impairmer¢l testing, when il is not possible to esbmale the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-genefating un11 is the sm311esl identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Flnanclal Instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a paty to the conlraclual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 10
