Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS

Objectives and Activities of the Charity

The objectives of the company are laid down in the memorandum and articles of association are to establish homes and receive aged, impotent and poor people of all classes, for the advancement of religion and education and for other charitable purposes beneficial to the community.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the general guidance on public benefit issued by the charity commission when reviewing and planning the charity's aims and objectives.

The principle activity is the provision of very sheltered accommodation for people in need.

Achievements and Performance of the Charity

2023 was the 17th year of operation of our independent hostel on Coronation Drive, Dalton-inFurness. The hostel operated well and the average occupancy was 91%.

Financial Review

Details of the financial aspect of the year are set out in the accounts. The net movement of funds was a £8,150 increase (2022 £5,410 increase). This was after an unrealised increase in the valuation of the Society's investments during the year of £1,899 (2022 unrealised decrease £3,677)

The total reserves at the year-end after revaluing investments stood at £498,588 (2022 £490,438)

Reserves policy and going concern

The Executive Committee has set a policy which requires reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that the Society's core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The society continues to ensure that reserves this year are maintained at an adequate level and hence the society has no going concern issues.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Specific changes in fixed assets

Any Changes in fixed assets are shown in detail in the notes to the accounts.

Share Capital

The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The executive committee is responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control which:

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS (continued)

The executive committee is also responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

The internal control system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the society is ongoing. This process has been in place for the year ended 31 December 2023 and up to the date of approval of the annual report and financial statements and is regularly reviewed by the executive committee.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages seven to fifteen.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

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

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.

Coronation House (Dalton in Furness) Society Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement Of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned based on the number of employees in each function.

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees report.

Raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities, events and non-charitable trading.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Housing association grants

HAG's are made by the department of the environment and were shown in the balance sheet notes as a deduction from the cost of Land and Building HAG-assisted schemes. The company is no longer a Housing Association and the grant has been transferred to the designated reserves.

Fixed Assets: Housing, land and building: HAG-assisted schemes

Cost includes, irrespective of the source of finance, costs of acquisition and development expenditure.

Fixed Assets: Fixtures, fittings and equipment

Assets donated to the society are not included in the Balance Sheet; other assets are included at cost

Depreciation

Land and Buildings: Depreciation is not now charged on the cost of land and buildings as the directors believe that the current value is its residual value.

Fixtures, fittings and equipment: Depreciation is charged at 20% straight line per annum on cost.

Stocks

All purchases of food and other materials are written off to the income and expenditure account when the expense is incurred

11

Coronation House (Dalton in Furness) Society Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

Investments

Investments are included at market value at the year end. Any changes in the value of an investment are reflected through the income and expenditure account.

Taxation

The society has charitable status and is exempt from corporation tax on income it has received. The society is not registered for VAT. Accordingly no VAT is charged to residents and expenditure in the income and expenditure account includes the relevant VAT.

Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated Reserve

The designated reserve has been established to ensure that funds are available to meet the cost of future major repairs and the value of the HAG.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
