## **THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD** 

## **REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** 

The Executive Committee presents its report and the audited financial statements of The Abbeyfield Kirkcaldy Society Limited for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** 

The Society’s principal purpose and activity have remained unchanged: the provision of the highest quality care for the elderly in accordance with the philosophy and Guiding Principles of the Abbeyfield Society. To achieve these objectives the Society continues to operate its 29 bed residential care home located in Meldrum Road and its day care centre while continuing to provide outreach meals for around 30 clients within the Society’s catchment area. 

Success for the Society continues to be measured qualitatively by the positive response of residents and their relatives to the services and care provided and the waiting list for entrants to the care home and can be quantified once again by the 97% occupancy level achieved over the year despite delays created by the external approval process. The high utilisation of available places in the day care centre mirrors this success although outreach number have fallen over the past two to three years. 

The Society measures its performance financially against the expectation of generating a surplus to enable reinvestment within the care home and related facilities. As can be seen from the ‘Report and Performance’ below, this has proved very difficult for a charity of Kirkcaldy’s size and ethos in the present economic and political environment. Despite this the Society has managed to generate a modest surplus in this most recent year. 

## **ORGANISATION AND STRUCTURE** 

The Society is a Registered Society under The Co-operative and Community Benefits Act 2014. It is a member of both The Abbeyfield Society for the United Kingdom and The Abbeyfield Societies in Scotland Limited and is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority and with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, OSCR, as a Scottish charity, with the charity registration number SC013525. 

The Society is governed by an elected Executive Committee whose members are noted on page 1 of these financial statements and all of whom, unless otherwise stated, have served throughout the current year. This Executive Committee, which comprises unpaid volunteers who act as trustees and directors of the Society, is responsible for the overall management, performance and strategy of the Society and takes all the major decisions affecting the home, such as the appointment of senior staff, determining staffing levels, approving financial budgets, implementing health and safety improvements and setting development strategy. The Committee also reviews on an ongoing basis the risks to which the Society is exposed, and seeks to eliminate these, whether they arise from new legislation or external financial constraints or internal issues, as quickly and unobtrusively as possible. 

Members of the Executive Committee are elected by the Members of the Society at the Society’s Annual General Meeting. To be eligible for election a candidate must first be a member of the Society after having been identified as having both an interest in and contribution to make towards the running of the Society, its day care centre and its residential care home. Members are introduced to the Society through existing members and their induction to the Society’s activities is through participation in the Society’s committees. 

The Executive Committee aims to ensure the highest quality of care for its elderly residents and is mindful of its obligations under health and safety legislation. It is equally aware of its responsibility to maintain sufficient resources for the Society’s financial stability and future development. In this context salary awards are set at levels which are considered affordable to the Society, compliant with legislation and comparable with the local pay rates. Ongoing experience makes it fully conscious of its responsibilities for staffing matters, of the need to refresh membership of the Executive Committee, and of the requirement to ensure continuity of good practice and governance.

## **THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD** 

## **REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025 (cont.)** 

## **SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM** 

The senior management team of the Society comprises Ms Heather Bethune, a state registered nurse who is the care home manager, and its financial manager, Mrs Elaine Simpson with the continuing support of Mr Peter Martin, formerly the Society’s accountant and administrator. While the role previously performed by the deputy has been reallocated among senior care staff this position is kept under review by the Executive Committee. 

## **RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

Heather Bethune has continued to demonstrate her leadership qualities by ensuring first class care to residents and while supporting and mentoring staff. Enormous credit is owed to all the staff who have continued to work in difficult circumstances in a challenging environment. 

The financial position becomes more difficult each year that passes. The biggest and recurring issue is the underfunding of care by local and central government where increases in the national minimum wage are not replicated by similar increases in grant awards for those who cannot afford to pay for their own care. This position has been exacerbated in the year under review by the increase in employer’s national insurance contributions, particularly the reduction in the starting threshold to £5,000 which in simple terms can be expected to add a further £37,000 to employment costs for the Society with no commensurate funding from government. This and earlier pay rises has reluctantly forced the Society to introduce once again substantial increases in room rates. 

It is against this environment that the Society generated a surplus of £34,741 in the year ended 30 September 2025 (2024 – deficit of £4,957). As at 30 September 2025 the Society’s net assets stood at £1,715,784 (2024 - £1,681,042) of which £805,748 (2024 - £766,068) represents unrestricted funds and £910,036 (2024- £914,974) restricted funds, the latter either invested in or earmarked for development of the Society’s property. Within these figures the Society’s overall cash position stood at £231,485 compared with £323,679 at the previous year end. The decrease in liquid funds reflects the Society’s investment in a new laundry. 

Currently the Society has modest expectations over the next two accounting years based on an expected increase in income from the creation of an additional room in the care home but fears in the longer term if it increasingly has to rely on government funded placements. As in all recent years the outcome will depend very largely on the attitude of the Scottish government to funding of the care sector and the longer term future continues to look challenging. 

In view of the continuing uncertainty as to the future level of government funding and the future role of private and voluntary organisations in the provision of care services the Committee remains cautious in its overall approach to the strategic development of the Society. 

## **FUNDING** 

The Society’s principal source continued to be income from the provision of accommodation to residents of the care home and day care centre which in 2024/2025 accounted for 98% of total income. 

## **RESERVES** 

The Society continues to provide a number of care services in exchange for consideration and in this respect acts as a normal business but on a charitable basis where surpluses are reinvested for the benefit of the Society and its users. Over time the Society must generate surpluses from its activities in order to be able to repay borrowings, to re-invest in the fabric of the property and to initiate improvements and undertake further development. The Executive Committee believes it appropriate that the generation of surpluses is the ultimate benchmark against which to determine the Society’s financial performance and strength. However, at present the Society maintains sufficient resources to maintain its properties through which it provides it care activities, to provide ongoing high quality care and to ensure the Society is able to continue for the foreseeable future. In the event of a shortfall the Society is able to raise finance through borrowing. 

The Executive Committee’s aim is to generate surpluses from its activities and other sources for the re-investment of these surpluses to improve its provision of care for the elderly. In view of the Society’s net assets and future projections, and despite its current year deficit, the Executive Committee is satisfied that the Society has the resources to continue for the foreseeable future and its financial statements can be prepared on the going concern basis.

## **REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025 (cont.)** 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

During 2025 the Executive Committee moved forward with its plans to replace its old laundry as part of a broader plan to develop the existing bungalow and enhance existing facilities within the care home. The laundry has now been completed and after delays with the installing of utilities has finally been commissioned. The Society is now in the process of applying for consent to create a further bedroom in the area vacated by the former laundry. The other areas requiring attention are phased repairs to the care home’s roof. 

## **EVENTS SINCE THE BALANCE SHEET DATE** 

There have been no significant developments since the balance sheet date other than the completion and commissioning of the new laundry building. The committee have agreed to the conversion of the former laundry into a new bedroom, to try and strengthen the Society’s financial position as well as assisting in meeting the constant the demand for its services. 

## **RISKS** 

The provision of care for the elderly is a high risk, low reward activity subject to significant and ever -changing regulatory overview and insufficient funding. Nothing has changed in this respect in recent years. 

To guard against perceived risks as best as possible the Executive Committee recognises the inherent risks involved in the provision of care for the elderly which requires strict recruitment practices, ongoing staff training, the detailed recording and monitoring of care and ongoing testing against coronavirus and similar viruses. 

Beyond the risks posed to health and care, the constant risk to the future of the Society remains insufficient funding for local authority funded residents with resultant pressure on the quality of care and ultimately on the Society’s ability to continue to remain viable. Year after year the cost of statutory wage increases has not being matched by increases in government funding of care. 

Despite these risks and obstacles, the Executive Committee remains committed to the Society’s providing the highest quality of care to the elderly embracing outreach, day and residential care and will make every effort to achieve and maintain these highest standards despite the financial and regulatory pressures under which it is required to operate. 

## **STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Law applicable to the Society requires the Executive Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society and of the surplus or deficit of the Society for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Executive Committee is required to: 

- select suitable policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

## • 

The Executive Committee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Registered Social Landlords Accounting Requirements (Scotland) Order 2007 and are based, where appropriate and consistent with the foregoing, on the Scottish Housing Regulator recommended form of published accounts for housing associations **.** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland” (FRS 102), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102”, the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and associated Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Executive Committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Abbeyfield Kirkcaldy Society Ltd (the 'Society') for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the income and expenditure account, balance sheet, statement of cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Society's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Co-operative and Community Benefits Societies Act 2014, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Society in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Executive Committee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Society’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from where the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Executive Committee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The Executive Committee are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and Co-operative and Community Benefits Societies Act 2014 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Executive Committee is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements ; or 

- a satisfactory system of control over transactions has not been maintained; or 

- proper accounting records have not been kept; or 

6 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD (continued)** 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Executive Committee** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Executive Committee’s Responsibilities set out on page four, the Executive Committee are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Executive Committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Executive Committee are responsible for assessing the Society's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Executive Committee either intends to liquidate the Society or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statement** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that include our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non- compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- The engagement director ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Society through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge; 

- We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Society, including taxation legislation, employment, data protection and charity regulations; 

- We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquires of management and inspecting legal correspondence; 

- Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assess the susceptibility of the Society’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by; 

- Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; 

- Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

- Assessed whether judgement and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

Investigated the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions. 

7 



## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD (continued)** 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

- Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- Enquiring of management as to actual potential litigation and claims; and 

- Reviewing correspondence. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Society’s members, as a body, in accordance with Section 87 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Society's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Society and the Society's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **THE ABBEYFIELD KIRKCALDY SOCIETY LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Co-operative and Community Benefits Act 2014, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 the Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)'. 

## **Turnover** 

Turnover represents rental and service charge income receivable. Donations and Investment Income are included when they are received. 

## **Valuation of housing properties** 

Housing land and buildings are stated at cost. No depreciation is charged on housing properties as they are maintained in a state of repair such that the residual value of land and buildings at the balance sheet date is not less than their net book value. 

## **Grants** 

Housing Association Grants (HAG) were made by the Scottish Government and were utilised to reduce the capital costs of an approved scheme to an amount of required loan finance, which it was estimated could be serviced by the net annual income of the scheme. The amount of HAG was calculated on qualifying costs of the scheme in accordance with instructions issued from time to time by the Scottish Government. HAG was repayable under certain circumstances. A grant was approved towards the residential element of the 2015 building extension. Part of the grant was (£95,661) received in financial year 2014/15 and the remainder (£27,500) was received in financial year 2015/16. Following housing regulation changes including the creation of The Scottish Housing Regulator, Abbeyfield Societies were not granted registration with the new body and therefore no longer qualify for such grants. In return it was accepted that no future repayment of grants would be sought should a Society cease to operate. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its residual life: 

Fixtures and fittings - 10% to 33.33% Property improvements - 4% to 20% Vehicles - 10% 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. The Society is not registered for VAT. No VAT is therefore charged to residents and expenditure incurred is inclusive of VAT. 

## **Leasing** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Investments** 

Current asset investments are stated at their current market value. The increase (decrease) in value is included in the SOFA as unrealised gains (losses) for investments still held. The increase (decrease) in value is included in the SOFA as realised gains (losses) for investments sold in the year. 

## **2. NET INCOMING RESOURCES** 

Net resources are stated after charging/ (crediting):

**15. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS** 

Property Equity Fund: Represents the value of property improvements carried out using donated funds. Being written down at a fixed rate. 

Development Fund: Funds originally set aside towards minor general development schemes. Replacement Reserve: Fund set up to provide for the replacement of depreciated assets. The fund is being created by a provision equal to 10% of the in year fixed asset depreciation. Capital Reserve: Funding set aside for property enhancements New Building Fund: Set up using donated funds towards the Society’s major expansion programme. 

**N.B.** Since the bulk of the then accumulated and donated finance was used during the years 2008 and 2009 in purchasing and adapting the properties for the Day Care Centre and the planned Dementia Unit, the above funds are mainly represented by the Society’s fixed assets rather than by available cash. Further recent donations and grants increased bank balances pending being used on capital expenditure that will take place in future years.

NB Statutory pay rates and the weekly income rate for state funded residents are set by governments(s) each fiscal year.
