Structure, governance and management

The charity is incorporated charity governed by a charitable deed. The trustees are responsible for the running and the maintenance of the facilities. The trustees meet monthly. There are currently five trustees. More trustees are required to manage the building and to take on the renovation that the building requires.

Objectives

The aim of the trust is to maintain some of Loddon's community buildings and keep them open for the use of community clubs and activities.

Review of activities

Throughout the year, work continued to develop the contract with the Nursery for a long lease.

Rental and development activities were limited by the Covid 19 pandemic. Financially, Covid relief grants made up for the loss of rent.

Volunteers

Larry Dainty spends about six hours a month taking bookings, showing new users around and generally caretaking both the Hollies and Nursery buildings.

Future plans

Despite constant efforts, no further progress has been made to build a team to renovate the Hollies building. In the absence of any volunteers coming forward to help, the trustees are expecting to use a consultant to develop the strategy for the building and, based upon this, put together a bid for grant funding. The work on the strategy is expected to commence in the autumn of 2022.

Financial review

The financial statements show the current state of affairs.

Reserves policy

It is the trustees’ policy to retain funds to cover at least 3 months of operational expenses and save for significant future repairs.

Public benefit

The trustees make decisions with due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Principle risks

The trustees monitor risks and uncertainties facing the charity and plan accordingly.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the
Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the

to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for
independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your
charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011
(“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the
Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the
2011 Act.
Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have
examiner's statement come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the
Companies Act 2006; or
• the accounts do not accord with such records; or
• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under
section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
•the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities
SORP (FRS102).
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.
