Ettington Community Trust Registered Charity (number 1080602)
TRUSTEES’ REPORT Financial Year Ending 31 March 2023
Ettington Community Trust is a small rural charitable body formed by Ettington Parish Council with the object of building and then managing, by Committee, the running of a new community building in the village to replace the existing Village Hall.
The Declaration of Trust (“Trust Deed”) statement of the objects and powers of the Charity is drafted broadly, but with these central objectives.
Building works on Ettington Community Centre were completed in April 2003.
Tenure
The freehold to the site of the building (and surrounding amenity area) is owned by the Parish Council. There is a Lease for 99 years from Ettington Parish Council to the Trust of the building and a surrounding area of grounds at a peppercorn rent with restrictions to ensure that the Council can have some control over the use of the building.
Structure of the Trust
Custodian Trustee
The Custodian Trustee is Ettington Parish Council. The Hall is vested in (i.e. held legally in the name of) the Custodian Trustee simply to hold the legal title of the Charity’s property and to act on the lawful directions of the Trustees.
Managing Trustees
The Trustees during this financial year were:
Elizabeth Lyall (Chairperson) Steven Kendrick David Hughes (Parish Council)
The Charity Trustees delegate responsibility to the members of the Management Committee formed in 2003 for day-to-day management, in accordance with the governing instrument (the Trust Deed).
The Trust Deed provides for some Committee members to be nominated by village organisations/clubs/societies or groups to represent their particular interests. There are a number of these special interest groups in the village which have “carried over” from the old Village Hall.
Funding/finances
The Trust has no borrowings or debt.
Revenue funding
The Trust’s main sources of revenue funding are:
-
a. Income from hiring / bookings, including regular groups/societies/clubs, amateur dramatics, concerts, parties, dances, functions, events, training courses, conferences, meetings, and sporting activities.
-
b. Fund-raising events e.g. open days, fetes, quizzes, raffles and coffee mornings.
Insurance
The building and contents are insured with XL Catlin Insurance Co. UK Ltd. (through Affinitive Insurance Brokers Ltd) against all the usual risks with a public liability limit of indemnity of £5m and cover for trustee's liability of £250,000.
Repairs and Maintenance
For this financial year, only general maintenance was undertaken. There were no major refurbishments during this period.
