FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
The results for the year and the financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements. Overall, excluding gains on pension schemes, the company made a surplus in this operating year of £499,630 (2023: £172,070) before a dilapidation provision of £355,000 (2023: £nil). This represents a surplus of £3,387 (2023: deficit £2,519) on restricted funds and a surplus of £141,243 (2023: £174,589) on unrestricted funds. |
The surplus is a result of the Senior Management Team investing in infrastructure to support 3 of the organisation's most demanding services to deliver the highest standard possible and to ensure that the organisation can respond and be competitive in future procurement exercises. This includes investment in our property portfolio, personnel, on-going upgrades to internal software and information technology. The investments will assist the organisation in increasing its annual income over the next 3-5 years and continuing to deliver high-quality services meeting the requirements of the communities the organisation works with. During this financial year, there has been continued investment into the Finance team in terms of on-going updates to systems and infrastructure to meet the growing demands of the organisation. |
As at 31 March 2024 unrestricted reserves were £451,872 (2023: £283,664) whilst restricted reserves were £31,162 (2023: £27,775). |
Grant Making Policy |
Humbercare is only able to provide grants to individuals who are using our projects or are referred by statutory or other voluntary organisations. |
Investment Policy |
All surplus funds are invested with the Charity's bankers either on deposit or in a current account with the exception of a number of shares and unit trusts (market value £31,162 as at 31 March 2024) transferred to Humbercare from HACRO (Hull & East Riding Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders) in May, 2001. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The Trustees have established a policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ('the free reserves') held by the charity will be expended at the Trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the Charity's objects. Reserves are required to cover: |
- any redundancy costs that become due, together with winding up and associated legal costs; |
- working capital for running the core; |
- exceptional and unforeseen expenditure; and |
- grants received in arrears to ensure cash flow remains healthy. |
The trustees propose to build free reserves and strengthen the financial position of the charity by reducing debtor repayment days and by continued close control of spending and regular monitoring against prudent budgets. Due to the charity's ongoing successful expansion, it is felt that the charity is able to continue its ongoing funded activities, or in the event of a significant drop in funding and the charity being wound up meet redundancy and associated legal costs. |
FUTURE STRATEGY |
Humbercare Limited has in place a five year business strategy and yearly plans which set out to continue the activities as outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. These projects may be subject to further development and expansion in the future. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Charity constitution and governing document |
The charity was established in September 1989 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

Humbercare Limited (Registered number: 02432547) |
Report of the Trustees |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; |
- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
In so far as the trustees are aware: |
- | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
- | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Smailes Goldie, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
This report was approved by the Board on |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Humbercare Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Humbercare Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including 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 requirements of the Companies Act 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 charitable company 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. |
Material uncertainty related 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 charitable company'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 trustees 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, 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 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. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Humbercare Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate 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 |
- | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- | the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. |
Responsibilities of trustees |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
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 Independent Auditors 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. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, |
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations |
which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the |
company, including the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, |
environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the |
extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory |
correspondence. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including |
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and 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 judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates wereindicative of potential bias; and |
- | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
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 Report of the Independent Auditors. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Humbercare Limited |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company'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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
1. | COMPANY INFORMATION |
Humbercare Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 16th October 1989 and registered as a charity on 7th December 1989. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
Going concern |
The Senior Management Team, having considered Humbercare's contracts, housing portfolio and budget for the period 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2025, have a reasonable expectation that the organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have been prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds and any perfromance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Income from government and other grants, whether capital or revenue, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. |
Income received in advance of the delivery of specific deliverables is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. |
The value of services provided by volunteers are not included. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Allocation and apportionment of costs |
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly and general costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. number of staff employed on each project. |
Humbercare Limited |
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Allocation and apportionment of costs |
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and accounting costs. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: |
Long leasehold | - over 50 years for structural improvements |
- over the length of the lease for other improvements |
Westbourne improvements | - over 10 years |
Fixtures and fittings | - over 3 years |
Motor vehicles | - over 5 years |
Computer equipment | - over 3 years |
Taxation |
Humbercare Limited is a UK registered charity and all of its income is applied to the achievement of its charitable objects. The charitable company is therefore exempt under current legislation from most forms of taxation. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the management committee. |
Restricted funds |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates both a defined contribution pension scheme and a defined benefits scheme. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.There is no liability under the defined benefit scheme other than the payment of those contributions. |
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. |
Lease obligations |
Humbercare Limited |
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease on a straight line basis. |
Other contractual obligations that arise under operating leases, namely reinstating properties to their pre-lease condition, are recognised based on the trustees' best estimate of the expected cost of reinstatement at the end of the lease term by reference to the condition of the portfolio of properties at each balance sheet date. The expected future cost is discounted back to its present value at each balance sheet date. |
3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
The trustees recognise significant judgement and estimation uncertainty exist in calculating the level of provision required in respect of obligations to restore its portfolio of rented properties to their pre-lease condition. |
The key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows: |
Average cost to restore each property - £1,500. This has been estimated based on the proportion of properties in the portfolio having met the Decent Homes Standard and an even distribution profile of scheduled property restoration works. |
Discount rate - 9.25%. This has been calculated by reference to the expected cost of borrowing, being bank base rate +4%. |
To reduce estimation uncertainty in future the trustees have commissioned a surveyor to calculate the current cost to restore each property in the portfolio. |

21. | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS |
Humbercare Limited operates various pension schemes resulting in a pensions charge in the Statement of Financial Activities of £174,938 (2023: £158,243). There were outstanding contributions of £27,217 (2023: £30,806) at the year end. |
Details of the various schemes are as follows: |
TPT Retirement Solutions - The Growth Plan |
The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 638 non-associated participating employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme. |
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK. |
The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme. |
A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows: |
Deficit contributions |
From 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2025 - £3,312,000 per annum |
(payable monthly) |
Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustee the term to 31 January 2025 applies. |
The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 scheme liabilities. |
Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost. |
