TRUSTEE REPORT
The Trustee submits their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.
GOVERNING INSTRUMENT
Marsden Memorial Homes, Farsley, was founded by a conveyance dated 26 February 1935 and on 9 October 1986 the Charity Commission established a Scheme for the regulation of the Charity.
Marsden Memorial Homes, Farsley, are used for the residence of those who qualify under the trust deed. Residents should be aged or infirm persons in need. The properties are six semi-detached, onebedroom bungalows, suitable for couples or single persons.
Whenever vacancies occur these are advertised locally. When making decisions about applicants, the homes have been allocated as determined by the Governing Instrument.
The Charity recognises the need for reserves to maintain its future viability. The annual budget provides for setting aside an amount within the weekly maintenance charge to transfer to its Extraordinary Repair Fund and Cyclical Maintenance Fund.

MARSDEN MEMORIAL HOMES Year ended 31 March 2022 SECTION 2 – Trustee Report
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 £4,148 was generated compared to £25,078 in the previous year. Two properties were empty on 31[st] March 2022 however both were occupied in April 2022.
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 Charity had reserves of £192,058 as at 31 March 2022 (2021: £187,911). The Charity establishes designated reserves where reserves are earmarked for a particular purpose.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

As the charity’s trustee, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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.

MARSDEN MEMORIAL HOMES Year ended 31 March 2022 SECTION 7 – Notes to the Financial Statements
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 conducted 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:
| 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%) |

Investments
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments are carried at market value. Investments held for the long-term are included in fixed assets. Investments held as part of the short-term treasury management are included in current assets.
Value Added Tax
Marsden Memorial Homes, Farsley is not registered for Value Added Tax. In these Financial Statements, where applicable, expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
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.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
The Trustee reviews the estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected economic life of the assets. Accumulated depreciation as at 31 March 2022 was £50,487.
Fair value measurements
The Trustee uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial assets.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments which meet the criteria of a basic financial instrument as defined in Section 11 of FRS102 are accounted for under an amortised cost model.
Debtors
Trade debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Creditors
Trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank, local authority, and other loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
