OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Purposp and aims
The Trust's objects as slated in the Memorandum ofAsso¢lalion a￿.
"The relief, care and assistance of older persons and provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for
recreation and leisure time occup81ion for the benefit of older m8mbers of the communty and in p8rticular but
without prejudic8 to th8 generality of the for8going, wlth the object of Improving the condition of lif8 of the older
inhabilants of the community."
Charitable activltles that contrlbute to achlevement of the Trust's objects
The Trust's prlncipal aclivities are provision of 24 hour nursing, dementia and resplte ￿re for older peopl8 who
are unable to supporl themselv8s at home or in other care services. These services comprise almost 85% of the
Trust's activity.
The Nursing Home, whlch is reglstsred with the Cere Quality Commi5slon, comprlses 62 rooms, of which
currently 22 are for residents who suffer from dementla and 40 are for general nursing and respite care.
The Day Centre offers 25 places a day for older people and those wllh dementia or mental health problems.
Brookfield Homecare Limited offers domiciliary care services to approximatély 80 local residents, providlng soma
500 hours of care each week. but with the opportunlty to substantlally increase care hours delivered as local
demand exceeds the avallable supply.
How our activlties dellver publlc beneflt
Our purpose is lo offer services to the local community that are affordable and relevant lo their needs. We do this
by m8n8ging efficiently our expenses on day-to-day operations but in 8 manner which is consistanl with our
objective of providing tho high quality care for which the Trust is recognised. Feè increases, whilst unwekome,
are necessary lo meet rising costs due lo regulatory Complian￿, inflation and to maintain ccmpelitive salary
levels for our staff.
Fundraising activilie3 are used malnly to fund capltal expendllure whlch means that fee8 for 8eryi¢e8 can be get
at a Iow8r18V81 than would othemise be the case. Servi¢e$ such as nurslng respite care can be made available
regardless of the beneficiary's financial means.
Decisions that would be judged uncommercial are also possible wilh support from fundr8ising activities and
generous donations fram supporters and the local community..
for some Ilme the Trust has provided day care services for those suffering from dementla at fee8 that do
not COV8r the cost of Ihair provision
Ihe premises used for the day centre have been extensively refurbished
in the recent past a sensory garden was created for residents of the nursing home to enjoy.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Occupancy al the nursing home rem8ined high during the year, influenced by a substantlal incr8as8 in NHS
funded residents to assist in relieving pressure on local hospitsls. F6es were 12Yo higher due to both higher
occupanGy and higher fee8 offered by the NHS and local governfflenl and after an increase in fees Charged to
self-fundad resid8nls, the latter numbers being a little lower than in previous years.
Staff recruitment remained challenging against local competition despite increas8s in Staff remuneration - local
evidence suggested that was affecting all healthcare businesses.
Overheads increased falrly substantially, especially food 11 %, insurance 10% and bank interest charges by 50%,
the latt8r du8 to the rnuch increased base lending rate,
Attendance at Ihe Day Cenlr8 was slightly lower than last year although fees were a little higher after 8n increase
in charges and as a result, operating expenses w&re barely covered by income receivad,
A surplus of incom8 over expenditure of £172,000 w88 achieved, of which Brookffeld Homecare conlrtbuted
£17,000.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Hoylakg Cottage
The results for tha year and the Trusvs financial posltion at tha end of the year are shown on th6 attached
financial ststernents. The Trust's 8lrat8gic aim is to recover the full cost of saNices from operats'ng income. It 18
accepted that this may not always occur wilhln a slngle financial y8ar. Fundralslng Is used generally lo fund non-
operational activities.
Brookfleld Homecare Llmlted
8rookfield Homecare had a very satlsfaclory year due malnly to a substantial increase Sn referrals and thus fees,
from Social Servicas who are now our main client. Staff pay lavels were Increased, as required by Social
Services to comply with their contract, but despite thal increase, staff recruitment remained very difficult impeding
our ability to meet increaslng demand for services. Our staff worked extremely hard in an endeavour lo meet the
demand but our ability to fully achieve that and grow the business is limited by staff availability.
Fundralslng and other non•charltablo actlvlty Incom•
Donations were higher Ihan Ihe previous year but we did not benefit from legacies and grants which amounted to
some £64,000 last year,

Rosarves policy
The Consolidated Balance Sheet of Iha Trusl shows Unrestricted Funds of £4.111,049 an increase of £170,693
which Included Ihe surplus on activities as well as Unrestricted Funds at Brookfield Homecare of £88,252.
The Trustees regularly review the Trusfs needs for Reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charity
Cornmission. The Trustees, policy in respect of Reserves is that minimum Reserves of £250,000 are required to
fund working capital requirements.
Reslrictod funds shown in the Balance Sheet wer8 £32,720 and represented donations for specific purposes
which were unspent al the year end. These funds wlll be used for their intended purpose a5 soon as It Is
appropriate to do so.
At the balance sh8el date. free reserves were £314.736 and free cash reserves were £283,144 which the
Truslaes consid8r acceptable.
Funding sourG¢s
The Trust's working capltal requirements during tha year w8r8 adequalely funded from cash generated from
busines$ activities supported by the 2 long term loans from Royal Bank of Scotland. The new nursing home loan.
originally repayable over 20 years from 2008 has been substantially ￿duCed and repayments on tha Coronavlrus
Business Interruption Loan which was required to fund the deficits incurred during the pandemlc, started in June
2022 over 2 5-y8ar temi.
At the end of the financial year our bankers agreed to amalgamate bolh the loans and extend the repayment
perlod to the original 20 years lo reduce the repayments as the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan.
repayable over 5 years. wa8 placing a strain on cashflow during our recovery from the effects of the pandemic.
Inv•slmont Poli¢y
Under the Articles of Association the Trust has the power to make any Inveslrnent the direclors see fil. Th8
investment portfolio was realisad to fund tha businass during tha pandemic. Cash generated from normal
Charilable activities and donations is needed to fund ongolng worklng capltal requirem8nts so further longer temi
investmenl is unlikely at presenl.
Principal risks and unc•rtaintio9
The rnain operational risks for the Trust which have influenced decisions in the currenl and prevlous years are:
changing govgmmant policy towards long term care funding which has led Io 8 rise In domlclliary care,
Can have the effect of reducing demand for long term nurslng care. This 15 matched by an increasingly
ageing population which potentially increases demand. The effect of these hvo factors together is,
howaver, that our rasidents are more d8P8ndent at admission, and their length of stay with us tends to
be shorter, which leads to higher cosl and lower overall occupancy, This has been especially true over
th8 last 3 y8ars.This risk has been mitigat8d to some 8Xtent by increas8d demand for services from the
NHS emanating from their need to move people with long term illno$s and disability to care homes.
an increasingly demanding regulatory environment with insufficient recognltlon of the cost of m88ting
Ihese demands.
annual Sncreases above inflatlon In National Minimum Wage and the more recent introduction of Natlon81
Livlng Wage whllsl much needed, have been implemented without acceptance of the full impact that has
had on th8 car8 industry and has not lad to a r8alistic incr8asa in stat8-fund8d f88s for nursing care .
budget conslralnt within local & ￿ntral goveinment affecting ability to fund nurslng cara places.
local competition for nursing and day care accompanied by withdrawal of local govemment grants
previously supporting these services.
Managing these risks is challenging for a re181ively small charity. In recent years the Trustees. m81n concern has
been to ensure financial solvency making cash g8nar21ion and cash liow management an integral part of
financial control. The acquisition of the Brookfield Homecare business has provided an opportunily to offset
periods of lower occupancy in the nursing home with growth in incom8 from doffliciliary care which is. currently,
where investment in the care sactor is being encouraged.

Post balance sheel events & plan$ for future perlods
Occupancy at the nursing home further increased during the firsl half of the year mainly driven by increased
demand from self-funded residents although the NHS continued lo plac8 substantial numbers of residenls wilh

diractly or indir8Ctly. We also had high ag8ncy staff charg8s du810 contlnued recruitment difficulty.
The Trust has continued to geneTat8 U6eful monthly Surpluses and the trustees expect that to continue for the

Extentto whlch the audlt VRS consldered capable of dotacting irregularllles, Includlng fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing ih8 risks of material misstatement in respect of Srregularities, includlng
fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows:
the 8ngagement partner ensured Ihat the engagement team collectivety had the appropriate competenco.
capabilities and skills to identify or recosnise nonwcompliance with applicable laws and regulations-
we idenlified the laws and regulatlons applicable lo the group through dlscussions with trustees and 0th8r
management, and from our knowledge and experience of charity sector.,
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may hav8 a dir8Ct materlal effect on the
financial ststernents or the operations of Ihe group, including the Companies Ad 2006, Charities Acl 2011.
data protaction, anti-brib8ry, employm8nt. food hygiene and health and safely legislation;
we assessed the extent of Compllance with tha laws and regulations Identified above through rraking
enquiries of management team and inspecting legal corre3pond8nce', and identified laws and regulations
wer8 communica18d within the audit leam regularly and the tearn remained alert to instances of non-
compliance throughout tha audit.
We 8ssess8d the susceptlblllty of the group's flnanclal statements to material misstslement, induding obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
maklng enquiries of managemenl team as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
knowladge of actual, suspecl8d and a118g8d frauij: and
considering ihe internal control8 in place to miligata risks of fraud and non4ompliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overrida of controls, we:
perfomied an81ytl¢al procedures to Idenllfy any unusual or unexpected relationships;
lesled journal gnlries lo identify unusual trans8Ctions',
a8se&8ed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were
indicativ8 of potential bias,. and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the rlsk of Irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we design8d procedu￿9
whlch Included, bul were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement dlsclosures to underlying supportSng documentation.,
enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claims., and
• reviewing correspondence with HMRC and relevant regulators.
There are Inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The mor8 removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the loss likely it is that we would become awar8 of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limit th8 audil proc8dur8s r8quired tc identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to
enquiry of the directors and other management and th8 inspaction of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any.
Material misslatemenls that 8rise due to fraud can be harder to detect than Ihose that arise from error as they may
involve d8libarat6 concaalmant or collusion.
