Objects, Organisatlon and Activities
The charity is established to enhance the community life of the inhabitants of Hemingford Abbots by
providing communal facilities and promoting community projects of a charitable nature.
The village hall is available for hire by any individual or organisation in accordance with the standard
hiring agreement and scale of charges adopted for the year.
It is intended that the scale of charges and other income be sufficient to generate enough
income to meet all expenditure incurred in providing the hall.
Community projects are funded by specific appeals, fundraising and grants.
The charity is organised as an independent assoclation of local resldents with trustees, Activities
include the provision of the village hall as a permanent communityfacility and a variety of community
projects as funds permit from time to time. Local activities include a variety of clubs, weddings,
christenings, parties, concerts. art exhibitions and quiz nights.
The charity continues to employ one member of staff, a Facilities ManagerlBooking Secretary, All
other duties are dependent upon the continuing help of the Committee, Friends of the Village Hall and
other volunteers. The charity also continues to subscribe to Cambridgeshire ACRE and benefits from
Sts free expertise.
Flnance8
It was reassuring to see that income has increased by 200/0 compared to 2022 and the hall continues
to be a popular venue with the local community and other individuals and businesses.
Incom8 was supplemented by funds raised from two quizzes and an Eightles muslc nlght, all of which
were very popular. We were also fortunate to receive a legacy of £1,000 from a former local resldent,
Eva Baynham.
We have tried to keep expenditure as low as possible and no major repairs or equipment replacement
was required during this year. Hlgher energy costs remained a concern but we took steps to reduce
energy usage to keep costs manageable.
Reserves remain healthy and no increases in hire charges are thought to be necessary at thls time.

select sultable accountlng pollcles and then apply them consistently.

Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Charities Act 2011. The financial

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have departed from the

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) issued on
16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended

modifled to include certaln items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling

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.
Exp6ndlturo
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.
