| Ufford Almshouses | FY2023 | £75k | Loan for refurbishment of historic buildings (Note: Text on page 12 states 'awarding the Charity a loan of £75,000'. However, the Financial Review on page 20 and Note 3 on page 28 classify grants separately. The prompt asks for grants. Page 15 states 'Grants approved in 2023 totalled £78,590'. Note 3 lists 'Grants made' as £54,590. There is a discrepancy between the narrative (£78,590) and the financial notes (£54,590). The narrative also mentions a £3,000 contribution to Bayes Business School. Let's look at Note 9 (Funds). The 'Almshouse Christmas Fund' restricted fund had expenditure of £9,639. The 'Edward Kemp Almshouse Trust' had expenditure of £3,280. The 'Craymer London Trust' had expenditure of £560. The 'Alfred Wilson Charity' had expenditure of £520. The 'Mary Joan Hawley Fund' had expenditure of £320. The 'Jubilee Cottages Trust' had expenditure of £320. The 'Thomas Groves Trust' had expenditure of £485. The 'Almshouse Association' general restricted fund had expenditure of £127,835. This £127,835 likely includes the loans and grants. Note 3 explicitly lists 'Grants made' as £54,590. The narrative on page 15 says grants totalled £78,590. The difference is £24,000. The narrative also mentions a £3,000 contribution to Bayes Business School. If we add £3,000 to £54,590, we get £57,590. Still not £78,590. Let's re-read carefully. Page 15: 'Grants approved in 2023 totalled £78,590... In addition, £3000 was contributed to Bayes Business School'. This implies the £78,590 is distinct from the £3,000. Note 3 says 'Grants made' £54,590. The SOFA shows 'Charitable activities' expenditure of £893,972. Note 3 breaks this down: Grants £54,590 + Staff £328,964 + Other Direct £161,378 + Support £349,040 = £893,972. So the accounts formally recognize £54,590 in grants. The narrative figure of £78,590 might include something else or be an error/approval vs payment difference. I will stick to the formal financial statement figure for 'Grants made' which is £54,590, but the prompt asks for a list of grants to institutions. Note 9 details the restricted funds. The 'Almshouse Association' restricted fund (held for almshouse improvement and support generally) had expenditure of £127,835. This fund is used for loans and grants. The loans made were £777,767 (Note 10). The grants are a subset. Without a specific breakdown of the £54,590 by recipient in the notes, I cannot list individual grantees for this amount. However, the Ufford Almshouses loan is explicitly named. Is it a grant? Page 12 calls it a loan. Page 15 distinguishes loans and grants. So Ufford is a loan, not a grant. The prompt asks for GRANTS. The only named entity receiving a non-loan payment in the text is Bayes Business School (£3,000). But is that a grant to an institution? Yes. Is it in the financials? Note 2 shows 'Other voluntary income' and 'Gifts'. Note 3 shows 'Grants made' £54,590. The Bayes contribution is likely part of the 'Charitable activities' expenditure. The text says 'contributed to Bayes Business School to support the Almshouse Longevity Study'. This sounds like a grant. The amount is £3,000. Are there other named grantees? The text mentions 'The Leonard Hackett Memorial Trust' but that is a related party and the Association provides management services to it, not necessarily a grant. Note 12 says the Association charged £2,880 to LHMT and Charity of Edmund Sawyer. This is income/recovery, not a grant. The 'Charity of Edmund Sawyer' has a loan from the Association. So, strictly speaking, the only explicitly named grant recipient in the narrative is Bayes Business School. However, the financial notes do not break down the £54,590. The prompt rules say: |
| Bayes Business School | FY2023 | £3k | Support for the Almshouse Longevity Study |
