THE ABBEYFIELD STEWARTRY SOCIETY LIMITED
REPORT of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Continued)
For the year ended 30 September 2025
Objectives and Activities
The Society’s Objectives
To carry out for the benefit of the community the provision and management of Housing, Accommodation and assistance for the relief and care of elderly persons suffering from the disabilities of old age or otherwise being in need and in furtherance of the objects the Society may: -
-
provide and maintain or assist in providing and maintaining houses and homes for such elderly persons; and
-
provide or assist in providing amenities or services for the benefit of such elderly persons.
The Society remains affiliated to The Abbeyfield Society and The Abbeyfield Societies in Scotland Ltd.
The Provision and Management
The Society currently provides Housing Accommodation in two locations (Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright) in 22 units, 18 of which are designated for single use and 4 suitable for couples. In practice, these 4 rooms have single occupancy at a slightly higher rental than the other 18.
Achievements and Performance
The annual informal review of services with our residents and sponsors has confirmed once again the very high level of satisfaction being provided in both houses. This is reflected in the demand for the Society’s services continuing at its highest level for a number of years with all rooms occupied and an active waiting list.
Mandatory training has been provided at the required levels and non-mandatory training for some or all staff has been provided where there has been a clearly defined benefit to the quality of our services.
Friends and other volunteers underpin the work of the Society by providing social and pastoral support to residents by visiting, organising outings and in-house events in liaison and co-operation with the Society’s staff.
With the provision of an in house Care at Home service for the Society’s residents, this valuable additional service continues to be appreciated by the Society’s residents and provides a significant contribution to the annual finances. At the end of September 2025, this service was being provided by our own staff to fourteen residents.
Financial Review
The Executive Committee continued to review and monitor closely the financial performance of the Society taking account of the monthly income and expenditure data for each house and the Care at Home service as well as regularly considering the best investment options for the capital reserves.
Total income for the year of £839,077 included donations and legacies of just over £41,000.This was significantly lower than the previous year in which the Society received the major tranche of significant legacy of over £850,000. Income from Charitable Activities was £737,429, and income from investments was £60,585. Expenditure of £751,168 was higher than the budget set at the beginning of the financial year. This overspend was primarily the result of higher staff and food costs. This all resulted an overall surplus of £87,909.

THE ABBEYFIELD STEWARTRY SOCIETY LIMITED
REPORT of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Continued)
For the year ended 30 September 2025
Financial Review (Continued)
Reserves at the year-end amounted to £2,326,707 of which £343,645 were restricted, and £1,250,000 designated, leaving unrestricted general funds of £733,062. Of the total unrestricted general funds, £263,310 could only be realised by the disposal of fixed assets.
The Executive Committee has reviewed the current carrying values of the charity’s two properties and has decided that no material adjustments are necessary.
The Committee considers that the value of the support provided by the Friends and volunteers cannot be quantified, and accordingly no amounts have been included in the financial statements.
Investment Policy
The funds of the Society may be invested by the Executive Committee in accordance with the rules. Currently a conservative investment policy is followed with surplus cash placed on deposit to secure appropriate levels of return balanced with future need to access funds. To improve the return on investments the Society has moved a proportion of its sight deposits to higher yielding term deposits not exceeding 18 months without adversely affecting the need for liquid funds.
Reserves Policy and Going Concern
The Society aims to maintain general reserves to an amount of at least 50% of the annual turnover, and to build up, over a period of time, a designated reserve for future capital projects. In accordance with this policy, the Executive Committee decided to designate a further £250,000 for future capital projects.
Having considered the existing reserves and cash held by the Society, together with the continuity of key income streams, the Committee is satisfied that the charity remains a going concern.
Risk Management
The Executive Committee conducts, throughout the year, regular reviews of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces including procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects, and for ensuring compliance with health and safety of residents, staff, volunteers, as well as visitors to the houses.
The main financial risk currently identified in the previous years was the possible loss of Supporting People funding. This funding is subject to a six monthly review with Dumfries and Galloway Council. The likelihood of losing this funding is not currently considered high. In fact, the Society has received an increased amount of contracted funding in each of the previous two years.
The financial risk from voids continues to be significantly lower than in previous years as the Society currently has a strong and active waiting list, reflected in the current low levels of voids. The Management team continues to maintain close links with Social Services, the Primary Health Care Team, and other professionals together with ongoing passive (word of mouth) and pro-active publicity and marketing.
Non compliance risk is reduced by subscribing to the Employment Law and Health & Safety service provided to the Society by Citation Ltd.
Plans for Future Periods
The Executive Committee agreed at its meeting on 6 July 2022 to proceed with plans to develop a third unit. One site in the Stewartry met a significant number of the key elements required to meet our specification based on the Society’s Bothwell House in Castle Douglas.
The development project group met regularly throughout the year. Following a thorough review of the planned development, the Executive Committee concluded that the project should be put on hold to allow time for the recruitment of additional trustees with the skills and experience of overseeing a large capital build project. In addition there is a need to recruit trustees to succeed impending retirements, A recruitment campaign is currently underway with support from Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway.

REPORT of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Continued)
For the year ended 30 September 2025
Key Management Personnel (continued)
The Society has established a Remuneration Committee comprising the Chairman, Hon Treasurer and Mrs Margaret Watson, to advise the Executive Committee on all aspects of remuneration policy. The Society has adopted the minimum wage as advised by the Scottish Government for the care sector in Scotland as the base line for determining the wage structure for all staff. The aim of the remuneration policy is to remain competitive within the Stewartry area and to provide first class working conditions to attract and retain a high quality staff complement. The Society has registered for the Scottish Government’s Fair Work Agenda and a Living Wage Employer.
Responsibilities of the Executive Committee
The Executive Committee are responsible for preparing the Report of the Executive Committee and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Executive Committee are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (second edition – October 2019);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Executive Committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement of disclosure of information to auditors

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE ABBEYFIELD STEWARTRY SOCIETY LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Abbeyfield Stewartry Society Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, and related notes, 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 FRS 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 charity’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 Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees 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 Report of the Executive Committee other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE ABBEYFIELD STEWARTRY SOCIETY LIMITED (Continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Executive Committee.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charity Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
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; or
Respective responsibilities of Executive Committee
As explained more fully in the Executive Committee’s responsibilities statement on page 5, 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 determine 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 charity’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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report to you in accordance with regulations made under that Act.
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 an auditor’s report that includes 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 the 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the charity’s financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:
-
agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
enquiries of key management personnel and the directors;
-
review of minutes of Executive Committee meetings throughout the period;
-
obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE ABBEYFIELD STEWARTRY SOCIETY LIMITED (Continued)
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
There are inherent limitations in an audit of financial statements and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
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.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Executive Committee, as a body, in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Executive Committee those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and the Executive Committee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Abbeyfield Stewartry Society Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The charity’s functional and presentational currency is Sterling (GBP).
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Executive Committee have assessed the Society’s ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the Society has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and are satisfied that no material uncertainties exist in respect of going concern.
Significant judgements and estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Society’s accounting policies, the Executive Committee are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As the estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 8 for carrying amounts of tangible assets.
Resident fee income, donations, legacies and similar income
Donations and similar income are included in the year in which they are receivable, which is when the charity becomes entitled to the resource. Fee income from Supportive Houses and Supporting People funding is accounted for in the period to which it relates and becomes receivable.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be reliably measured by the charity; this is normally when upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Grants receivable
Grants received, including capital grants, are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities when relevant conditions for entitlement have been met, it is probable they will be received and the amounts can be reliably measured. Where donors specify that grants are for particular purposes, this income is included in income within restricted funds when receivable.

NOTES to the FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the year ended 30 September 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Housing Association Grants (HAG) and Other grants
HAG is made by the Scottish Government and is utilised to reduce the capital costs of approved schemes to an amount of required loan finance which it is estimated can be serviced by the net rental income of the scheme. The amount of HAG is calculated on qualifying costs of the scheme in accordance with instructions issued from time to time by the Scottish Government. In accordance with the FRS 102 Statement of Recommended Practice 2015 – Accounting and Reporting by Charities, grants receivable are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in full when the charity becomes entitled to them.
HAG and other grants are repayable under certain circumstances, primarily following sale of property, but will normally be restricted to net proceeds of sale.
Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities
-
Costs of raising funds are those associated with generating income and charitable activities costs are those expended on meeting the charity’s objectives.
-
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with meeting the charity’s primary objectives and include both the direct costs and the support costs relating to these activities. Certain costs have been split between direct charitable activities and support costs. Staff costs have been apportioned on the basis of time spent.
-
Included within charitable activities are Governance costs. These are costs of a constitutional, strategic, or statutory nature with respect to the general running of the charity, rather than day to day management.
Fixed assets and Depreciation
All fixed assets over £2,000 are initially capitalised at cost.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Freehold housing properties are depreciated by component on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of component categories.
Useful economic lives for identified components are as follows:
| Component | Useful economic life |
|---|---|
| Structure | 80 years |
| Roof | 50 years |
| Lift | 20 years |
| Call and fire systems | 20 years |
| Windows | 20 years |
| Central heating and boilers | 8-20 years |
| Kitchens | 8-20 years |
| Bathrooms | 8-25 years |
Impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of income generating units and the estimated value in use at the date an impairment loss is recognised. Value in use represents the net present value of expected future cash flows from these units. Any impairment of assets is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Where work on existing housing properties is likely to enhance value by increasing the net rental stream over the life of the properties it is accounted for as an improvement and capitalised in note 8.

For the year ended 30 September 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Fixed assets and Depreciation (continued)
Works on existing properties that are not regarded as enhancing their value are charged to the income and expenditure account.
Depreciation is provided on all non-housing tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures and fittings over 10 years Computer equipment over 5 years
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the Society has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments other than investments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Pension costs
All members of staff have the opportunity to contribute to a defined contribution stakeholders’ pension scheme.
Taxation
The Society has charitable status for taxation purposes and there is no liability to corporation tax for the year.
2. Funds
Unrestricted funds may be used by the Society at its discretion to meet future expenditure. Restricted funds are the funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the grantor or donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Designated funds are the funds set aside by the members of the Executive Committee out of the unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes and projects. The nature and purpose of each fund is explained in note 12.

Designated funds
Strathdee roof
In anticipation of a high level of future maintenance of the Strathdee roof, the Executive Committee had previously agreed to allocate £50,000 of Unrestricted Funds to Designated Funds to cover future expenditure. Following a recent review which indicated much lower costs of work that may become necessary, the Committee agreed to reduce the anmount designated to £15,000. It is still expected that major roof repairs will be required in the coming years, albeit it at a lower cost than anticipated.
Residents
During the year to 30 September 2018 the Society received a donation of £5,000 which the Executive Committee agreed to set aside for future expenditure for the specific benefit of the residents.
Third Property Development
During the year to 30 September 2024, the Executive Committee agreed to designate £1,000,000 towards the development of a third property which included the Legacy funds received during the prior year. A further £250,000 was designated from general funds in the year to 30 September 2025.
Restricted funds
Scottish Executive: Bothwell House
This fund represents the balance of the £947,810 accumulated Housing Association Grants (“HAG”) received for the refurbishment of Bothwell House.
