Martlesham Community Hall – Registered Charity 1009602

Chairmans Report to the Annual General Meeting

2022/23

This report should be read in conjunction with the annual accounts (audited financial statements)

It has been a more conventional year for Martlesham Community Hall. In the previous two years our normal hire activity and incomes were heavily affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions on social gatherings and therefore how and when our venues were used.

Occupancy progressively improved over the reporting period. Most COVID-19 restrictions were removed from late Spring 2022. We now have good levels of occupancy again. Most of our previous regular hirers have returned and have been supplemented by some new regular hirers together with a good level of weekend party/other hires.

The grants we received for the 2021/22 period meant we entered this reporting period with a sound financial position, notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions. The final COVID-19-related grant payment was made during this reporting period.

Our main improvement activity in 2022/23 was a thorough refurbishment of the Community Hall:

The ceiling tiles and decoration were funded from our existing reserves and the projector/PA installation was funded by an Enabling Communities Grant from Councillor Chris Blundell, on behalf of East Suffolk Council. The refurbishment work took place mainly in August - October 2022. I’d like to thank my wife Beverley for assisting me with the ceiling tile replacement – which was several days work. She was very pleased to receive the Committee’s token of appreciation for her work.

The Community Hall refurbishment means that both our hire spaces are now attractively presented and both have a projector and PA for hirers to use, together with the previously installed Wi-Fi Internet access.

However, like most similar organisations, we’ve had a significant increase in our outgoings, due mostly to the multiple increases in electricity costs. Our venues are entirely electrically heated. We’ve also had notable increases in our

Martlesham Community Hall – Registered Charity 1009602

contract cleaning costs, due to general inflation and subsequent rises in minimum wage thresholds.

… over

The Management Committee decided in Autumn 2022 to raise hire charges by approximately 15% from 1 April 2023, acknowledging that a further rise may also be needed from 1 October 2023. Both David Embery (our Hall Manager & Treasurer) and I recommend we consider this at the Committee Meeting following the AGM.

We were protected from the full impact of the electricity cost increase by a twoyear fixed rate deal until 31 October 2022. It is hoped that the Government’s commitment to continue to subsidise business energy if/as needed until 31 March 2024 will also mitigate some of these costs. There has recently been a very encouraging substantial fall in our electricity unit costs from our supplier Scottish Power, to around half of the previous highest rates. It would have been difficult to sustain paying those rates indefinitely, without some kind of external/additional income and/or a large increase in room hire fees.

With all of the inflationary factors taken together though, it is inevitable we’ll continue to use some of our financial reserves to maintain hire charges at reasonable and affordable rates in the short to medium term (i.e. through 2023/24). This is already evident below in the reduced amount carried forward (our ‘balance’) at the end of the 2002/23 financial year. The Management Committee will monitor our financial position closely and has agreed that - for now - any significant expenditure will be limited to important or essential items and/or work, unless it can be covered by external (e.g. grant) funding. The Treasurer will provide more details in his report.

The Management Committee is still actively seeking volunteers to assist the Chairman and Hall Manager with the management, operation and maintenance of the venues. I’m pleased to report that we have recently recruited a volunteer – Paul Calver – who will be assisting David Embery with hall management and maintenance. Welcome Paul and thanks for volunteering!

I’d like to thank David and Pat Embery for their continued hard work and dedication to Martlesham Community Hall. I’d also like to thank the Trustees and representatives who attend our Management Committee meetings, to help us administer the organisation. Together we continue to provide a good quality and affordable community asset.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARTLESHAM COMMUNITY HALL

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Martlesham Community Hall

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Martlesham Community Hall (the Trust) for the year ended 31 January 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

MARTLESHAM COMMUNITY HALL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial instruments

The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and loans with related parties.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, such as trade payables or receivables, are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Debt instruments that are repayable or receivable after one year are initially measured at the present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each financial year for evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.

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.

Financial instruments

The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and loans with related parties.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, such as trade payables or receivables, are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Debt instruments that are repayable or receivable after one year are initially measured at the present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each financial year for evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
