Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary of the main Para 1.20 achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
The BVA's mission is to improve the lives of the inhabitants of Barripper, Camborne, Crowan, and Gwinear/Gwithian by providing the village hall and playing field for meetings, recreation, and leisure-time activities.
We have strived to bring identity into our community and add a sense of belonging, neighbourly support, and to celebrate our past in the present, while planning for the future. We have achieved this by bringing celebrations into the community, enabling others to help, give ideas, act on ideas, and feel safe within the community.
2023 has been another excellent year, with progress made on ongoing projects and new ones successfully completed.
Highlights from our activities this year include:
-
Planting a mixed fruit orchard with the pupils from Penponds School
-
Progressing the 'refurbishment' phase 1 project to re-open in February 2023 for events
-
Licensing the hall in time for the Coronation party on 7th May
-

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARRIPPER VILLAGE ASSOCIATION
I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on the attached pages.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner
The Charities trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charities trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) if the Charities Act 2011 (the2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the charity commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act;
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 al the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present and ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare account which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
Have not been met; or
