Achievements and pèrformance
a. Maln achlevements ofthe Company
2023124 covers the first year ol our new Strategic Plan. 11 was a year dominated by the recovery of the sector
and the longer-term impact of the pandemic. General grant giving pallerns stabilised and our fundin9 rounds
have returned lo a regular pattern. Our new Rent subsidy policy continues lo be rolled out and ensures rental
discounts applied follow SIM￿lar processes lo that of the Grant panel 2nd assessmenl processes.
Our philanthropy activities this year have seen 7 new funds created. We launched our own self-funded match
fund which allracled £325,000 in new donations. which we matched to the value of £175,000, During the year
we dislribuled grants and rent subsidies lolaling £2,595.505.
In January 2024 we launched and published the eleventh edition of the annual Vital Signs report. Our launch
evenl was held al Unity Place and drew an audien￿ of over a hundied and thirty people.
The Foundation's wholly ownecl trading subsidiary company, MK Community Properties Limited, continued to
pmvide conference facilities alongside office leases and small business units for commercial and not for profil
organisalions. The year saw an upturn in conference bookings. bul small business unil occupancy continues lo
be a woiiy. We saw a shift towards more single occupancy offi￿S and in the year Iwo large, hard lo let offices
were converteLI into 11 smaller units, all of which are now fully occupied.
The year saw a major changè lo the management of our property estate. From 1 January 2024, we brought in-
house the management of our two Central Milton Keynes buildings and outsourced the management of the
wider estsle to a new agent, Kirkby Diamond. This change of approach has already seen changes in the way
the estate is managed.
Throughout the year we have continued lo seek lo establish a capital fund to 5UPPOrt the development ol new
community hubs primarily in the expansion areas of Milton Keynes. As a result, we have obtained a waiver from
the Secretary of Stale for Levelling Up lo ensure the majority of the proceeds from the transaction is retained,
reducing payable clawback by 50/0. The released land will be developed to provide much needed housing.
including affordable housing compliant lo MK Council planning policy and enable the creation of the five
community hub cenlres to provide quality facilities for the VCCS to enable them lo effectively deliver their
services lo the people of Milton Keynes.
During the year, progress was made on the development al Granby, although the conslrucllon of the housing
and community centre at the Brooklands development continues lo be delayed due lo contractor issues.

Foundation and ils trading subsidiary, MK Community Properties Limited. Any capital gain on revalu21ion of

Auditor's responslbilitles for thp audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report In accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder.
Our objectives ale lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements ag a whole 2re 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 levèl of assurance, but is not a guarantee thal an audil conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delect a material misslalement when il exists. Misslalements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be
expected to influence Ihe economic decisions ol users taken on the basis of these financial slalements.
Irregularities, including fiaud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delect material misstatements in respect of
irregularilies, including fraud. The exlent lo which our procedures are Capable ol delecling irregularilies,
including fraud is detailed below..
we consider the nature of the industry and sector. Control environment and business performance including
the remuneration incentives and pressures of key management;
the primary responsibility for the prevention and éetection of fiaud rests with both those charged with
governance of the enlily and management. We consider the results of our enquiries of management aboLFI
their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.,
any mallers we identifi& having obtained and reviewed the Group's documentation of their policies and
procedures relating lo".
identifying. evalualing and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any
instances of non-compliance..
delecling and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any a¢lual,
suspected or 211eged fraud.,
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.,
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might owur in
the financial statements and any potential indicators ol fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incenlives that may exist within the
organisalion for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audils under ISAS IUKI,
we are also required lo perform specific procedures to respond to the fisk of management override, including
testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of
material misstatement due to fraud.
We also obtained an understanding ol Ihe legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing
on provisions of those laws and regulallons thal had a direct effect on the determination of vnalerial amounts
and disclosures in the financial stalemenls. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise lo a
material misslalemenl in the financial slatemenls, including, but not limited lo, the Companies AGI 2006,
Charities Act 2011 and relevant lax legislation.

Because of the inherent limitations of arb audit. there is a risk that we wll not delecl all irregularities, including
those leading lo a material mlsslatemenl in Ihe financial stslemenls or non-compliance wilh regulation. This
risk increases the more that complian¢e with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
rèflected in the financial statements. as we will be les8 likely lo become aware of instances ol non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regaiding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather Ihan error, as fraud involves

Critical accounting esllmates and areas of judgment
Eslimales and judgments are continually evaluated ar￿ are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future evenl8 that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Critical accounling estimates and assumptions.
The Group estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Tesulling accounting estimates and
assumptions will, by delinilion. seldom equal the related aclual results. The eslirllates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a maleiial adjuslmenl lo the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next f nancial year are discussed below.
Critical areas of judgment..
Property valuation
There are estimates and assumptions made when the investment property portfolio is valued at their
market value. These eslimales are Continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations ol future even15 that are believed lo be reasonablè under the
Circumstan￿S.
The key judgement relates to the classification of the property portfolio. The Truslees have considered
whether the group's porllolio of properties should be accounted for as tangible fixed assets or as
investment properties. Many of the properties are available on occasion to be rented lo the charily's
beneficiaries al subsidised rents. However, the Trustees cons¢der that the propeflies are primarily held for
long term investment with the objective of generating financial income andlor proceeds from their sale to
maximise a surplus which can be used to make grants or to sUPPOrt the voluntary and community sector
through subsidised rent. Accordingly, the Trustees consider that the properties are investment properties
and that any changes in Iheif value should be recognised as gains or losses on investment properties.
However, any rental income which is generated by properties let al sub51di5ed rates is recognised as
income from charitable activities ialhe¥ than investment income lo reflect Ihe objectives of the charity.

Contingent liabllitles
Under the arrangements surrounding the transfer on 27 November 1992 of certain properties from
Homes England (formerly English Partnerships also previously known as the Commission for the New
Towns), the group is under a conlraclual obligation lo repay amounts lo Homes England {"clawback l in

Community Related Assets {certain industrial units al Kiln Farm, Slaoey BLJshes and Number 56
Buckingham Slreet Wolverton) or Community Foundation Land sites132 undevelopèd and I developed).
Based on the open market value, as al 31 March 2024 the lolal potential li2bility for the clawback was
£7,952,603 12023 - £8,301,143). No provision has been made for this liability as the current proposed
plans lor use of the land siles does not trigger this clause. If the Iruslees are reasonably certain that
there is lo be chang&s in vse of Ihe 51te5, say for a change in slralegies, then al this point il would trigger
the liability to be included in the account5.
No provision has been made for deferied lax that may arise il the properties were sold in the futuie. It is
the Trustees, opinion thal no lax would arisè on a future sale of the properties as any proliis fiom Slich
sale would be distributed via Gift Aid to the company's charitable parenl Milton Keynes Community
Foundation from ils subsidiary company, MK Community Properties Limited. Milton Keynes Community
Foundation is parl of a VAT group with its subsidiary. MK Communily Properties Limited. and is therefore
jointly liable for any VAT debts of MK Community Properties Limited.

The group has purchased insurance for the Trustees and staff of the charity and the directors of Ihe
subsidiary company, MK Community Properties Limited, against liability arising for wrongful acls in
relation lo the charily and ils wholly owned subsidiary. The cost of this insurance amounts to £1,706
12023 - £1,706}.
