## **Trustees' Report** 

## **Directors and Trustees** 

As required by the Memorandum and Articles of Association the management of the company is invested in the Board of Directors who are also the Trustees of the Charity. The Board consists of up to eleven Directors. Up to two of these are appointed by the Brockenhurst Parish Council, together with up to seven elected by the general public within the area of benefit and up to two representing the user organisations within the area of benefit. The elected directors serve for a period of three years; those representing the general public are elected at the Annual Meeting of the Parish and those representing the user organisations are elected by a ballot of those organisations which are members of the Company. The Trustees serving during the period are shown above. 

## **Objects, Organisation and Activities** 

The object of Brockenhurst Village Trust is to provide educational, recreational and other community facilities for the benefit and social welfare of the people of the civil parish of Brockenhurst in Hampshire by charitable means. 

This means the running of the Village Hall, and its site in Highwood Road described below, as well as organising such events which benefit the widest possible community in Brockenhurst. 

The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

The Village Hall (a main hall seating 300 and several other rooms, some with kitchen facilities) hosts around 30 weekly and 10 monthly clubs and classes in addition to repeat booking from other community groups and small businesses. Organisations such as Hampshire County Council and the New Forest National Park Authority regularly hold training sessions at the Hall, appreciating the location, facilities and service and also the value for money that it offers. External events such as this contribute to the successful running of the Hall, and thus its wider community benefit. 

The Hall is available for hire by individuals and organisations. There is a standard hiring agreement and scale of charges, which is calculated to be adequate to generate income to meet all expenditure incurred in maintaining the Hall, providing an appropriate share of the wider site maintenance and annual depreciation of the Trust’s assets. 

The Trust organises a number of activities, such as “Brockenhurst Cinema” in the Hall on its own account in order to provide a focus for the village as part of the Community Hub concept described below. 

The Trustees are responsible for the overall management of the Company and its future direction. This may also include strategic guidance, or delivery of projects for the community. 

The day to day operation of the Village hall and site facilities is the responsibility of the full-time Hall Manager supported by three part-time administrative and caretaking staff and a number of volunteers.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **Review of Activities and Future Developments** 

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 8 of the financial statements. 

Income from lettings of the Hall was £104,783 (2021 - £54,785). Income from government grants during the coronavirus pandemic was £9,490 (2021 - £40,456). 

Only January 2022 was affected by Covid lockdown, and once permited to re-open activities and revenues very quickly recovered. 

In October 2022 the Trust decided to open one of the Hall’s rooms as a weekly “Warm Hub” in response to high energy costs for the people of Brockenhurst, and in co-operation with the Food Rescue Kitchen (a local charity) hot meals and surplus food from supermarkets were also provided. 

The Charity Shop and Café which the Trust set up in the Hall in 2021 continued to attract wide support in the community, and contributed net £26,525 to the Trust’s income (2021 £18,915). Following the success of the shop, the Trust is planning to relocate it to a currently empty shop in the centre of Brockenhurst which will encourage greater footfall, especially among visitors to the village, will enable us to attract the attention of passers-by to events and activities in the Hall and on the site, and will release space within the Hall which can be used for lettings. 

An event in the Hall in June 2022 enabled the Trust to raise in excess of £2,000 from the community for the local New Forest for Ukraine charity. Also during 2022 the Trust was pleased to employ a young Ukrainian refugee living in Brockenhurst as a part-time marketing assistant. 

During 2022 a defibrillator was installed at the Hall, financed by community contributions and grants from the parish and county councils. 

In  2021 the Trust decided to rebrand the Hall and the Highwood Road site as the Brockenhurst Community Hub, with the  Hall’s activities, the recreational facilities including the MUGA and the Parish Council’s playground, and the remaining “green space” in Highwood Road, Work on this continued throughout 2022, and it is intended to arrange widespread consultation with the village during 2023. In this context planning permission was obtained in 2022 for a higher fence around the MUGA which will enable activities such as tennis and better secure against stray footballs impacting the rest of the site. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees have resolved to commit as much of the charity’s resources as possible to the Trust’s objectives, whilst retaining sufficient investments to generate income from which to meet these objectives. Within these parameters the Trust designated a £100,000 Renewal Reserve in 2021, to be used specifically on keeping the Hall facilities in working order and up to date. 

During 2022 the Trustees carried out a review of the Trust’s activities and financial position at each meeting. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the exposure to major risks.  A formal Risk register within the context of a 5-year plan will be established in 2023. The principal risk identified during 2022 was energy costs, with the Trust’s 3-year deal expiring in September 2023. The Trust has begun a review to identify a sustainable energy policy which will involve major investment in solar panels and battery storage during 2023.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Brockenhurst Village Trust** 

I report to the trustees (who are also directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the financial statements of The Brockenhurst Village Trust for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the trustees of The Brockenhurst Village Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that thefinancial statements of The Brockenhurst Village Trust are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of The Brockenhurst Village Trust 's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) and 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 examiner’s statement** 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of The Brockenhurst Village Trust as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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.

## **The Brockenhurst Village Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) , the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The Brockenhurst Village Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

The accounts (financial statements) are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. 

## **Judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Income and endowments** 

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

## **Donations and legacies** 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Page 10 



## **The Brockenhurst Village Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

## **The Brockenhurst Village Trust** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class** Freehold land and property Equipment 

**Depreciation method and rate** 2%/4%/5%/10%/33% straight line basis 5%/10%/15%/33% straight line basis 

## **Stock** 

Stock has been valued by the trustees at £650 (2021 : £500). 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for hall hire in respect of charitable activities. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
