TRUSTEES' REPORT
The trustees present their report and accounts for theyearended31 July 2024
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the charity in theyearunder review waswas the provision of social care for people with learning disabilities.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee not having a share capital and was incorporated on 27 July 1992. The liability of the members, in the event of the winding up of the company, is limited to £1. The company is established under a Memorandum of Association which sets out its objects and is governed by its Articles of Association.
The trustees who served during the year were:
A. Levy (resigned 12 January 2024)
C Meakings
G A Meakings
Dr V K Fenton
The trustees of the charity are also directors for the purpose of company law. Trustees are appointed by a resolution of the council or by ordinary resolution of the company.
The trustees meet at least quarterly during the year.
The trustees make a formal assessment of the major risks to which the charity is exposed on an annual basis. They are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to such risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The trust's objects as set out in the Memorandum of Association are the relief of suffering and in particular the care of people with learning disabilities.
Currently, the trust runs a residential care home - Cavendish House - caring for five residents with learning disabilities. This is funded through Local Authority placements.
We also own a second property within Lingfield village that is being leased to another charity on a gratis basis while a supported living service is being established.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

The Cavendish House Trust

FOR THEYEARENDED31 July 2024
TRUSTEES' REPORT
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We have continued to run a residential care home for people with learning disabilities in Lingfield as well as being landlord for a second property which is being run as a supported living service by another charity social care provider. Our residents are supported to lead fulfilling lives and stay connected with the local community. They continue to benefit from being supported by a stable management and staff team at Cavendish House. We have continued to meet our obligations as a registered care home inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We were sad to lose our long-term Chair - Andy Levy - due to his retirement from his position and we would like to thank hm for his support and guidance over a period of many years.
Members of the Board had an Away Day in October 2023 and made plans for further development of the charity. This includes ambitions to work closely with community leaders to expand our reach for supporting more people in the Lingfield community by diversifying our ways of operating as a charity. We also have plans to recruit further trustees with expertise which would be useful to the Board and support our development.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year under review, the charity had net income of £59,647 (2023 - £4,756). General funds are maintained at a level approximating to six months charitable expenditure and are felt sufficient to cover any short term additional costs in line with the potential changes in the funding for the type of care the charity provides.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees should follow best practice and:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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 2016. The trustees 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.
The board keeps its membership under review and seeks to ensure that it reflects the skills and experience needed to discharge its responsibilities. Its approach to recruitment reflects the circumstances of a small, local charity that experiences low turnover. The board will make use of advertisement or other approaches to recruitment as appropriate.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OFTHE CAVENDISH HOUSE TRUST
I report on the accounts of the company for theyearended31 July 2024.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member ofACCA.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
