TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 30th September 2024, together with the accounts for the year.

Charitable Objects

(A) PROVIDING HOUSING ACCOMMODATION FOR ELDERLY PERSONS OF LIMITED MEANS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND WITH PREFERENCE BEING GIVEN TO THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES CHARLTON KINGS CHELTENHAM.
(B) FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP OF ANY HOUSING ACCOMMODATION WHICH MAY BE BUILT IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS PURPOSE.

Activities

The charity currently provides almshouse accommodation in 6 units next to Holy Apostles Church Cheltenham.

The trustees have engaged the law firm of Lester Aldridge to look at the benefits of moving the charity to a CIO and the process involved.

Over this year the trustees agreed that a rolling programme of upgrades to each of the six properties, together with the communal grounds, should be commenced.

Due to the age of the heating systems (which had reached the end of serviceable life), each of the properties had a new boiler installed. This has been done to both reduce the amount of future maintenance required, and to also ensure that the properties are made more energy efficient. At the same time, work has been undertaken to improve and update the communal lighting and power supplies, as these, although safe, were becoming unreliable due to the age of the components.

A full refurbishment of one of the wet rooms was successfully undertaken during this period, and as a result of this, it was agreed that, as and when properties became vacant, a more comprehensive refurbishment would be undertaken (to include the bathrooms, cloakrooms and kitchens as required). It was felt that the level of work potentially required, would be too disruptive to be done whilst the property was still occupied.

A regular cycle of grounds maintenance, utility servicing, and ad hoc maintenance continues to ensure that residents are able to remain independent, and any concerns about the properties are dealt with as quickly as possible.

Financial Review

Income

Total income for the year to 30 September 2014 was £35,370 from regular maintenance contributions, and a further £6,925 from interest on investments. All properties were continuously

occupied during the period. The trustees tightened up financial controls and opened a series of deposit accounts to ensure individual balances fall within the FSCS protection limit.

Expenditure

Administrative costs totalled £14,614, leaving an operating profit of £27,861.

Reserves Policy / Future Plans

The properties are all in need of refurbishment, and it is estimated c £20k will be needed per property in the next 2 years to accomplish this. The trustees would also like to make the properties more energy efficient, and quotes will be obtained to facilitate this. As noted above the trustees are moving the charity to a CIO. Preliminary work has been done and the trustees have set aside a nominal amount of £12,000 from reserves for the completion of this process.

Other policies

During the year, the trustees have reviewed and renewed a Safeguarding policy, Risk management policy and a Financial Policy

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and 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 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 trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and 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 Charities Act 2011. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION

The nominated independent examiner will be considered by trustees for re-appointment for the ensuing year.

Signed on behalf of the trustees

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MARY JOAN HAWLEY CHARITY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out in pages 5 - 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirements of s144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s145 of the 2011 Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

An examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
