TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Almshouse Charity of John Shaftoe for the year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

The object of the charity is the provision of housing accommodation in property owned by the charity.

The Trustees shall first defray out of the income of the charity the cost of repairs and insurance and all other charges and outgoings payable in respect of the property of the charity and all proper expenses incidental to the administration of the charity. The Trustees have designated a Cyclical Maintenance Fund to provide for the ordinary maintenance and repair of the almshouses and an Extraordinary Repair Fund to provide for extraordinary repair, improvement or rebuilding of the almshouses. Thereafter the Trustees shall apply the income of the charity for the benefit of the residents in the almshouses in such manner as the Trustees think fit.

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)'.

Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The charity is able to assist with the housing needs of those resident in the Parish of Haydon Bridge who are in need. Vacancies are advertised locally and the process of selection also is a structured one.

Achievements and performance

Key performance indicators

A key objective of the Trustees has been to upgrade the quality of the almshouse dwellings as they become vacant in order to improve the sustainability of the stock.

Two new showers / wet rooms have been provided to residents who requested them for reasons of accessibility. The communal laundry has been equipped with new, more economical, washing machines and tumble driers. All exterior lighting has been replaced with new LED appliances.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

Review of activities

The Trustees report net income before revaluations in the year of £14,723 (2020: gain of £575).

The charity's funds are invested in UK unit trusts and there was a net gain of £33,441 (2020: loss of £27,121) arising on the revaluation of these investments at 31 March 2021 and a gain on disposal of £6,520 (2020: gain on disposal of £3,231).

The charity's property, which is permanently endowed and vested in the Official Custodian, comprises nine Almshouses and an office at Shaftoe Terrace, Haydon Bridge, all of which are used for the purposes of the charity. These properties were revalued by the Trustees at 31 March 2015 at an open market value of £900,000.

Shaftoe Educational Foundation is a connected charity. The two organisations have a common board of Trustees and were originally one charity, founded in 1685.

Since the retirement of the warden and the handyman, the management and support services have now been reconfigured to include a community alarm and 24/7 emergency response service, and additional gardening services.

Investment policy and performance

The Trustees are required to invest all sums of cash, other than those required for the immediate working purposes, at their discretion, subject to the requirements of the Trustee Investments Act 1961.

The real estate investments of the charity are vested in the Official Custodian for Charities.

The Governors, in conjunction with their investment advisers Brewin Dolphin, developed a new Investment Policy during 2015, which was adopted at the meeting on 12 November 2015. It was further reviewed at the March 2018 meeting and no changes were made to the investment policy.

Brewin Dolphin, the investment managers retained by the charity currently invest on a diversified risk basis, seeking to generate a balance of income and capital growth.

In the year to 31 March 2021 the investment portfolio recovered from the deficit in the period to 31 March 2020 with unrealised investment gains of £39,961.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Financial review

Going concern

The charity relies upon its investment income and support from its connected Charity Shaftoe Educational Foundation. 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.

The Trustees have considered Going Concern in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. The operational aspects of the Charity do not change other than the need for additional security around residents, and the objects of the charity are enhanced by the need for affordable accommodation in a sheltered environment. The pandemic will have little or no impact on the Charity's financial position other than its investments which are not required for operational purposes in the next twelve months following the approval of the financial statements.

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The Almshouse Charity of John Shaftoe is constituted by a Charity Commission scheme.

The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 8 August 1977 and was allocated Charity No. 506598.

Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

Due to the close connection of the charity and the Shaftoe Educational Foundation, the Trustees elected for Shaftoe Educational Foundation are also invited to be Trustees of the Almshouse.

Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The Trustees meet three times a year to review the management of the property. However, the day to day operational needs are devolved to the Clerk to the Trustees, who has experience in the requirements of those in need.

Page 4

ALMSHOUSE CHARITY OF JOHN SHAFTOE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Financial risk management

The Trustees constantly review their policies for the management of risk to the charity. The main threat to the viability of the charity arises from occupancy of the cottages. Lack of residents would curtail this financial stream.

However, the charity is not able to generate sufficient funds to maintain the almshouses to an appropriate standard. For this reliance is placed on its connected charity, Shaftoe Educational Foundation. There is therefore a risk associated with the pressures of need on its connected charity though this is effectively managed through both charities having common Trustees.

The investment policy has a detailed section on risk, covering: land and property risk; investment risk and charity specific risk.

A revised risk policy was agreed at the meeting on 14 July 2016.

The Trustees have updated a number of policies. The main development has been to adopt a new Trustee Code of Conduct Policy at the 8 March 2018 meeting, which also includes a revised Conflicts of Interest Policy, a Register of Interests Statement for Trustees and a Confidentiality Statement for Trustees. At the same meeting the Trustees also adopted a new Financial Controls Policy.

Future developments

The charity will continue to provide affordable accommodation to those in need for the foreseeable future, and manage its properties so that they continue to provide an appropriate quality of accommodation according to the needs of the residents.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Almshouse Charity of John Shaftoe ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements 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 been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

ALMSHOUSE CHARITY OF JOHN SHAFTOE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. General information

Almshouse Charity of John Shaftoe is a charitable trust, charity number 506598. The principal office is Shaftoe Terrace, Haydon Bridge, Northumberland, NE47 6BW. The principal objective is the provision of housing accommodation in properties owned by the the charity.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The 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 the relevant version of the 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 (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Almshouse Charity of John Shaftoe 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.

2.2 Going concern

Having made due enquiry, the Trustees are satisfied that the Almshouse can meet its ongoing obligations because it continues to be supported by the Shaftoe Educational Foundation, a connected charity. Therefore the Trustees are satisfied that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate when preparing the annual financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 10

ALMSHOUSE CHARITY OF JOHN SHAFTOE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date.

Fair values are determined from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a Charity may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach.

Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Statement of financial activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

2.6 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.

Page 11

ALMSHOUSE CHARITY OF JOHN SHAFTOE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.8 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
