INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY

To increase the efficiency of the investment process the Charity’s Broker has been given discretionary authority to invest on the Charity’s behalf. Changes in the investment portfolio continue to be monitored by the Trustee Board on a regular basis and the Investment Fund Manager is invited to brief the Board every six months.

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL FUTURE FOR THE CHARITY

Broughton House has fixed assets with property, assets under construction and plant, which are fundamental to the business, valued at £7,372,204. Investments which are held in the Charity’s Reserve (Designated) Fund are valued at £594,297.

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain a Reserve (Designated) Fund at a level that equates to at least three months of unrestricted expenditure and to place all windfall income, such as legacies, directly into the Charity’s Reserve (Designated) Fund.

Monies placed into the Reserve Fund are held in an investment portfolio with percentage yield / return based on investment strategy and financial markets. This fund is used to meet any General Fund deficit and assists with emergency funding in the unlikely event of normal sources of income drying up and ensures business continuity in the event of a major or unexpected event at the Home.

The Charity currently depends on voluntary income to supplement fee income and meet the full cost of the care provided to its Residents. A significant proportion of this income is received from the Service Charities, Trusts, Legacies and individuals who have direct experience of the Second World War and subsequent conflicts in which Forces served. The Charity must keep in mind that the level of legacy and voluntary income may fall significantly in future years as the Armed Forces reduce in number and consequently those in contact with them falls.

When setting care fees, the Charity seeks to achieve a balance between affordability and a level that is consistent with providing first class care and accommodation for Residents, in order to ensure the long-term financial viability of the Charity. This means that we welcome Residents whose care is funded from a variety of sources.

During the year Broughton House provided care for Residents funded by eleven local authorities. The Charity seeks not to exclude any potential beneficiary on the grounds of financial hardship. A MEDAL DISPLAY FROM THE BROUGHTON HOUSE MUSEUM

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL REMUNERATION

Key management personnel of the Charity are considered to be the Board of Trustees, together with the Chief Executive and Registered Manager who are in charge of directing and controlling the Charity and the running and operating of the Charity on a day to day basis.

All Trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid other than travelling expenses in the year.

The pay of the Charity’s Chief Executive and Registered Manager is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The remuneration is also bench-marked with grant-making charities of a similar size and activity to ensure that the remuneration set is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Major risks to the Charity as identified by the Trustees and listed in the Risk Register have been reviewed and appropriate action has been taken and systems have been put in place to mitigate the risks. Records exist to show that statutory and local procedures are being implemented. Statutory requirements and procedures are constantly under review.

The principal risks facing the Charity are set out as follows: - Covid-19, Financial, Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Training, Human Resources, Quality Assurance and Compliance and Charity Governance.

Currently the long-term financial sustainability of the Charity is compromised: Reduced income from fees and an increase in running costs has had an impact on our Reserves as we deployed funds from our investments in order to fund our operations. In addition to this, the Reserve Fund has been utilised for the project start-up costs. Mitigation include actions to improve our profile and fundraising performance over the next few years and plans to replace the existing care home facility with the Veteran Care Village model as outlined in our objectives.
