**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Charity’s primary objective for the year continued to be that of providing a comfortable and caring environment for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who are no longer able to care for themselves in their own home situation. In order to successfully achieve this objective, the Trustees, with the support of the Council of Management, have maintained the fabric of the Home in accordance with the guidelines for such establishments and continue with a programme of renovation and upgrade. They also seek to keep pace with the changing nature of elderly care provision. 

In order to maintain an appropriate level of care provision the Trustees continued to follow the strategy of allowing the Manager of the Home to focus on care delivery. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity’s principal aim remains as stated in the Trust Deed, namely ‘’the provision of care and comfort and a residence for elderly Christians who through age and disability (not requiring special hospital or medical treatment) no longer shall be able to earn their own livelihood and who do not then have relatives with whom they can conveniently reside’’.  Presently this care is delivered in contract with the relevant local authorities and is regulated by the Care Inspectorate. In the short term the charity’s principal objectives are: 

- To provide care at a price that is affordable to the target residency group; 

- To ensure that services are provided at a good or very good level (as determined by the Care Inspectorate) while maintaining suitable financial balance. 

The most recent inspection by the Care Inspectorate was carried out in September 2025 and the Service maintained its grades at a combination of Good and Very Good. 

The Trustees have concluded that the principal aim would be better met through an incorporated body and have set in motion the process of achieving this goal by establishing a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. Once that company has satisfied the various requirements for registration and compliance, the Trustees intend to transfer the assets and operations of the Trust to it. 

## **Financial review** 

The home had a net surplus in unrestricted resources of £146,948 (2024 - £74,093). This is after a non-cash depreciation charge of £57,550 (2024 - £48,077). The Trustees monitor cash-flow as part of the ongoing funding requirements of the Charity and their going concern assessment. The Trustees continue to identify efficiency savings without reducing the quality of the service provided and are confident that the Brethren Community will continue to support the Charity financially. Consequently, they are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. Further information on the going concern assessment is included at note 1.2. 

At 31 March 2025 the Charity had £8,852 (2024 - £nil) of restricted funds, £639,611 (2024 – £480,117) of unrestricted funds, and a revaluation reserve of £329,091 (2024 – £341,637). 

At 31 March 2025 the Charity held cash reserves totalling £288,907 (2024 - £194,893). The home prefers to maintain cash reserves at a level sufficient to meet the operating costs for a period of three months. This would be approximately £280,000; and the current cash reserves achieve this. The Trustees continue to identify and implement additional ways of raising funds and reducing costs without adversely affecting the service provided, as a means of working towards their reserves policy.

CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME
SUMMERHILL HOME
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
During the year the Trustees carried out significant maintenance activrties on the infrastructure, including: alarm
systems, the electrical installation. flooring in public spaces. and re-decoration of the lounge.
The principal income of the Charity is derived from Residents board income. The Charity is also supported by
donations from Assemblies, other Christian groups and individuals. This funding allows the Charity to provide the
high standard of care and facilities that it aims to deliver.
Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertalntles
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Charty and the implications of these are-
1. The way in which the stste will fund care of the elderly in the future.
The level of funding provided by the state would be insufficient to meet the running costs of the services if
all of the residents were supported by the state {over and above the personal care allowance) and
therefore there is an èlemént of subsidisation rèquired from thè residents who do not reeeivè such support;
thèr8 ig a risk that the balanc8 of this situation may drivè the lattèr group's costs to an unaffordable lèv81. If
that W8r8 to b8com8 an issu8 then rèstrictions would need to bè put in place to limit the number of stat8-
supported resid8nts in order to r8duc8 th8 cross-subsidisation to an acceptable lev81.
2. Reduced occupancy due to several concurrent deaths.
Multiple deaths from ill h8alth in a short period cause th8 income level to fall below break-even until
appropriate occupancy is restored. This restoration takes time as Ihere is an operational limit on how many
new residents can be onboarded concurrenlly. To protect against this the Charty will increase its reserves.
The Trustees have therefore assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that
systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future perlods
The Trustees intènd to maintain Summerhill in its present format as 8 small, clos8-knit, residential home. The ratès
chargèd at Summerhill ar8 lower than other homes of equivalent rating by the Care Inspectorate and the Trustees
plan to continue to increase rates.

**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 Trustees 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 year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- 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; and 

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Christian Brethren Summerhill Eventide Home (the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities including income and expenditure account, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the 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 charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its income and expenditure, 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 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 _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 Trustees' 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 twelve 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME** 

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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or 

- proper accounting records have not been kept; or 

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

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

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees 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 Trustees 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 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 as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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.

CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME
SUMMERHILL HOME
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME
Irregularities, induding fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilf(ies, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The specrfic procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below-
Perfomiing audit procedures over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal
entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of signtficant
transactions outside of the nomial course of business and reviewing judgements made by management in
their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias.,
Performing audit work proc8dur89 ovèr thè risk of incom8 rècognition, including testing of the completeness
of incom8',
Reviewing minutes of meetings of management;
Reviewng the level of and reasoning bahind tha charity's procurement of legal and professional services;
and
Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to supporting documentation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those
leading to a material misstatemant in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial ststements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also
greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment,
forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:11
www.frc.org.uklaudrtorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with "Accounting
and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance wrth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102)" (as
amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued
on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities
Accounts {Scotlandl Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's
trustees 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 charity's
trustees as a body, for our audit work, ft)r this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Christian Brethren Summerhill Eventide Home is constituted under a trust deed.  The Home is a charity registered in Scotland with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. The principal address is Summerhill Home, Summerhill Road, Aberdeen, AB15 6HU. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold buildings at deemed cost. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the appropriateness of the going concern basis, reflecting on the financial position of the charity at the balance sheet date, and the requirement to consider a period of at least 12 months from the approval date of the financial statements. 

The Home has recorded a surplus of £155,800 (2024 - £73,553), after a non-cash depreciation charge of £59,691 (2024 - £48,077). Excluding depreciation, a surplus of £215,491 (2024 - £121,630) has been generated. 

Careful cash management and cost control has also ensured that the working capital of the charity remains a priority, to allow all liabilities to be met as they fall due. There were net current assets of £209,373 at 31 March 2025 and the cash at bank and in hand has increased from £194,893 as at 31 March 2024 to £288,907 at 31 March 2025. The operating results for the Home are regularly reviewed to minimise cost inefficiencies whilst maintaining the appropriate level of care for residents. The trustees are continually looking for more efficient funding options such as private donations and grants. 

The trustees have prepared financial forecasts through to June 2025 and are currently preparing forecasts to March 2026 considering various potential scenarios. By their very nature financial projections are uncertain, including projecting future occupancy levels. The trustees are satisfied that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the approval date of the financial statements. Consequently, the trustees consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. The separate presentation within unrestricted funds of the revaluation reserve represents the surplus arising on the previous revaluation of the freehold buildings. The annual release to general funds is equivalent to the excess depreciation charge associated with the previously revalued amount over the historic cost basis. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

- 11 - 



**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Donated assets are recognised at fair value when gifted to the charity. 

Residents board income, including amounts received from local authorities which meet the SORP definition of a government agency, is recognised in the period in which the board was provided. 

Residents board received in arrears is accrued in as necessary. Residents board received in relation to the next period has been deferred as detailed in note 16. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

All expenditure is included on an accrual basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of expenditure and include irrecoverable VAT. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred directly in achievement of the charity’s objectives and support costs, which indirectly support the charities activities. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 2 to 10% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance 10% straight line 

Freehold land is not depreciated. 

The part of the annual depreciation charge on previously revalued assets (subsequently carried at deemed cost) which relates to the revaluation surplus is transferred from the revaluation reserve to general unrestricted funds. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.8 Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At each reporting date an assessment is made for impairment. 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Impairment of financial assets**_ 

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. 

## _**Derecognition of financial assets**_ 

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire or are settled. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

## **1.12 Retirement benefits** 

The Charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes on behalf of certain employees. Pension costs charged represent the contributions payable by the Charity in the year.

**CHRISTIAN BRETHREN SUMMERHILL EVENTIDE HOME SUMMERHILL HOME NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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. 

## **Critical judgements** 

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. 

## **Depreciation** 

The assessment of the estimated useful lives and residual values of tangible fixed assets involves judgements and estimates regarding the anticipated purpose and use of the asset and the period of time in which the asset can adequately perform its anticipated role before it becomes ineffective or obsolete. These judgements and estimates have a direct impact on the depreciation charge and the carrying value of tangible fixed assets. The Trustees review these judgements and estimates as required at least on an annual basis. The carrying value of tangible fixed assets at the year end is £768,181 and the depreciation charged during the year was £59,691.
