TRUSTEE REPORT (continued)
The Charity is governed by a Trust Deed. Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association is the corporate trustee, having taken over that role from Anchor Trust on 5 November 2012, but delegates most of the day to day management of the Alms-houses to its staff. The Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association Board adopts the NHF code of governance 2015 and an annual appraisal and skills assessment is completed to ensure that the Leeds and Yorkshire Association Board has the skills and experience to comply with the NHF Code of Governance and RSH Regulatory Standards.
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
To provide accommodation for older people who are in need. The Trustee has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and consider that the activities of the Alms-house meet its charitable objects and is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
A surplus of £25,078 was generated against a surplus of £2,811 in the previous year. One property was empty at 31[st] March 2021 however, this was occupied in April 2021.
RESERVES
The Trustee has reviewed the Charity’s needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and consider it prudent that reserves should be sufficient to avoid the necessity to realise fixed assets. The Trustee continues to review whether future income will enable the Charity to meet its foreseeable needs on the basis of planned expenditure. The Charity had reserves of £187,911 at 31 March 2021 (2020: £162,833). The Charity establishes designated reserves where reserves are earmarked for a particular purpose.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Covid 19
During the period, the coronavirus pandemic has had minimal adverse impact on the charity. There have been minimal empty homes and arrears have decreased by £2,519 during the period. We have assured residents that no one will lose their home as a result of the coronavirus and encouraged early contact should residents find their finances affected by the lockdown, Residents received a welfare call, to ensure that they were supported during the lockdown and they were signposted to appropriate additional care or support as was needed. Although non-essential repairs were postponed through April and May 2020, essential maintenance and health & safety inspections continued throughout, ensuring residents remained safe in their homes.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2021
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Housing Properties Social Housing Grant
Government grants include grants receivable from Homes England, local authorities, and other government organisations. Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful life of the housing property structure under the accruals model.
Grants due from government organisations or received in advance are included as current assets or liabilities.
Government grants received for housing properties are subordinated to the repayment of loans by agreement with Homes England. Government grants released on sale of a property may be repayable but are normally available to be recycled and are credited to a Recycled Capital Grant Fund and included in the statement of financial position in creditors.
If there is no requirement to recycle or repay the grant on disposal of the asset, any unamortised grant remaining within creditors is released and recognised as income in income and expenditure.
Depreciation
Marsden Memorial Homes were constructed in 1935. There is no record of the original cost and no value is attributed thereto. The Housing Properties costs relate to improvements carried out since 1990 which were funded by Homes England Grant, a mortgage loan from Orchardbrook Ltd secured by a charge on housing, land, and buildings and from Marsden Memorial Homes’ own resources.
Component Accounting
The SORP requires registered Housing Associations to apply the rules relating to component accounting. The original value of the improvements as transferred into LYHA management in 2012 is assumed to be structural. Further assets were added in 2012/13.
The Trustees depreciate the components of the housing properties at the following annual rates:
| Bathrooms | 30 Years (3.3%) |
|---|---|
| Boilers | 15 Years (6.7%) |
| Heating & Plumbing | 30 Years (3.3%) |
| Electrics | 40 Years (2.5%) |
| Kitchen | 20 Years (5.0%) |
| Roof | 70 Years (1.4%) |
| Structure | 100 Years (1.0%) |
| Windows and doors | 30 Years (3.3%) |
| Lifts | 20 Years (5.0%) |

Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
Estimation uncertainty
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

Trade debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
