## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The objective of the Charity is by charitable means but not otherwise, to provide and maintain dwelling houses, flats or other residential accommodation for the residence and use of persons who are aged or infirm, or unable to obtain employment because of ill health or other disability, but who are fully able to care for themselves and who are in need of financial assistance in the provision of suitable residential accommodation of the type provided by the Charity in the Westmorland and Furness District and who are preferably: 

- Christian Scientists, or 

- persons who have resided in the Westmorland and Furness District for at least fifteen years, or 

- persons employed for at least ten years (whether or not continuously) by the late Thomas Cooper Pattinson of Rayrigg Hall, Windermere or by any member of his family or by any Company or business controlled or formerly controlled by him or them or any of them. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)". 

## **b. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit** 

The Trustees have considered the guidance published by the Charity Commission in relation to public benefit and confirm that they adhere to this guidance. The Trustees believe that the charity's objectives and activities ensure that it assists a variety of beneficiaries within Westmorland and Furness District. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Main achievements of the Charity** 

During the year under review, the Trustees fulfilled their objectives by providing accommodation in 14 bungalows in Rayrigg Gardens, 8 flats in Hunter House and 2 bungalows designed specifically for the disabled known as Llewellyn Cottages. The only full-time employee is a resident manager for whom accommodation is provided in a separate warden / manager's flat within Hunter House. There is also a part time self-employed gardener. 

The financial statements show that the income of the Trust has been fully utilised in providing accommodation and warden support during the year, and in transferring sums to the designated funds recommended by the Almhouse Association. 

The Trust has completed substantial refurbishment to some of its properties in recent years and strives to maintain a high level of standard within all of its accommodation. 

The site formerly known as the Windermere Garden Centre has been leased to Lakeland Gardens Ltd. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have reviewed the level of reserves held by the Charity. The review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams and the nature of the reserves held by the Charity. 

Page 2 

## Cooper Pattinson's Trust Homes 

## Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

The review concluded that to allow the Charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer for uninterrupted service, a level of free reserves amounting to £100,000 should be maintained. This equates to approximately 14 months of unrestricted fund expenditure. The trustees believe that should the activities of the Charity cease they would require this amount of time in order to re-house all of the residents of the properties owned by the Charity. 

The analysis of net assets between funds (note 18 in the financial statements) shows that unrestricted free reserves (i.e. excluding tangible fixed assets) amounted to £293,449 (2024 - £263,770) as of the balance sheet date. 

## c. Investment powers and restrictions 

The Trustees have absolute discretion to invest in any stocks, funds, securities or investments authorised by law for the investment of trust funds or in the purchase, repair or improvement of any freehold or leasehold property whether or not required in whole or in part for occupation for the purposes of the Trust. 

## d. Risk management 

The Trustees have considered the risks that face the charity through its operating activities and consider all risks when making decisions which affect the charity financially, strategically and operationally. 

## Structure, governance and management 

## a. Governing document 

Cooper Pattinson’s Trust Homes is administered from Rayrigg Road, Windermere, Cumbria, LA23 1BW and is registered as a charity number 502457 with the Charity Commissioners. It is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated 14 May 1973 as amended by an order of the Commissioners on 18 November 1969. 

## b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees 

The affairs of the Charity are managed and conducted by the Trustees who have full power to act in the name of and on behalf of the Charity in the furtherance of its objectives. The number of Trustees shall not exceed six and shall not be less than two. The power of appointing new Trustees is vested in the surviving or continuing Trustees for the time being. 

## c. Pay policy for key management personnel 

The Trustees consider the Board of Trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 7 to the accounts. 

## Plans for future periods 

The Trust owns further land which may be available for future improvements or extensions to residents’ facilities. 

The Trustees are building up reserves out of contributions from residents with a view to improving or extending the accommodation.

## **Cooper Pattinson's Trust Homes** 

## **Trustees' Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 Examiner's Report to the Trustees of** 

## **Cooper Pattinson's Trust Homes** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 17. 

Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn. 

We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with 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 section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 5 April 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022. 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities:Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Fund accounting policy** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. 

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 17. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Donations and legacies including donations, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Income from Government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

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.

## **Fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Freehold property 2% straight line basis Furniture and equipment 20% straight line basis 

The depreciation charged on freehold property is based on building costs of £900,000. Land is not depreciated. 

## **Cash and Cash Equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Investments**

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the statement of the financial activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
