The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and Aims** The aims of the Hatton Park Residents' Association (HPRA) are as f ollows: - To represent the interests of the residents of Hatton Park and the surrounding area - To establish the village hall and to run it successfully for the community - To promote the preservation of and improvement of Hatton Park for the residents - To be involved with other local charities. ## **Public Benefit** As a charity, the Trustees have an obligation to the local community to provide a public benefit and this obligation is paramount in both our community activities and also in the management of the hall. In particular: - We operate the village hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of Hatton Park without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions. - The village hall is available for meetings, lectures and classes or other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the social conditions of the life of the inhabitants - The Trustees maintain the hall to a high standard and hold letting rates down as long as possible, taking account of the cash reserves policy above. By their actions, the Trustees feel that they are complying with their duty to provide public benefit in accordance with the guidance given by the Charity Commission. ## **Additional Information** Hatton Park Village Hall was built by AC Lloyd and equipped using additional funds provided by Bovis Homes as part of the Section106 Agreement. The developers, Morris Homes, also gifted a sum of money to be held by HPRA for future maintenance of the hall. The Charity Commission Official Custodian holds the land and buildings of the village hall, on behalf of HPRA. Since 2012, HPRA have also managed land behind the village hall owned by WDC. In December 2012, a community orchard was established on this land, which is for the use and benefit of all Hatton Park residents. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable Activities Covid-19 Pandemic** The COVID-19 Pandemic continued to have an impact on HPRA Activities in 2021. The Trustees continued to meet and held eight committee meetings during the year of which four were held virtually via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. The AGM was postponed. The Committee continued to 1 ## **HATTON PARK RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2021** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** manage and operate the village hall in line with our objectives and assist where possible in any community matters arising. ## **Annual Review** ## **Activities – Community Matters** - **Social and Fundraising Events** - The COVID-19 pandemic again limited all HPRA social and fundraising activities during the year. HPRA is part of a large local social and fundraising group of local charities called Hatton Joint Organisations (HJO). Our committee helps out at various fundraising events and receives a share of funds at the end of the year. No HJO events were held during the 2021. - **Community Orchard** The Community Orchard is thriving and requires very little maintenance. It has been well used by the community, particularly popular during the lockdowns and since as more people continue to work from home. In 2021, we had a volunteer helping us out as part of The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. This work involved tidying, weeding and pruning. - **Community Website** Google made alterations to the provision of free websites during the year and the website had to be reformatted. Despite this we have continued to operate hattonpark.net for the benefit of the community and to assist with Hatton Park Village Hall operations. - **Other Issues** When time and resources have allowed, we have also liaised with the responsible parties on maintenance of communal areas. HPRA continued to maintain the memorial stones in both cemeteries for the benefit of Hatton Park and refurbished the large planter in Crimscote Square. ## **Activities – Village Hall Matters** Managing Hatton Park Village Hall remains the main focus of HPRA’s activities and 2021 has been another challenging year. No regular hirers were able to resume activities under the Government’s COVID step 1 regulations and the hall remained closed at the start of the year. In April under step 2 regulations, allowing children’s educational activities, Warwickshire Dance Academy, Baby Sensory and Sports Development resumed sessions. When step 3 regulations started on 17th May most remaining regular hirers returned with the exception of the WI and the HP Toddler Group who elected to start in September. At the beginning of the autumn term, we were delighted to welcome 1st Hampton Magna Scouts to the hall to hold Cubs and Beavers on Thursday nights. HPRA committee gave returning regular hirers free hire for the month of October though we lost two due to the financial pressures of the COVID lockdowns. A few party bookings were accepted from September onwards. The Trustees have monitored the financial situation of the Village Hall closely during the year to assess the impact of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the situation made financial planning very difficult. However, in the first quarter of 2021 the Village Hall was eligible for government COVID relief grants, the Local Restrictions Support Grant when the hall was closed and then 2 ## **HATTON PARK RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2021** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** the Restart Grant Scheme totalling £17,303. In November, we applied for and received the Additional Restart Grant in the sum of £12,500. These grants were of great assistance and meant that the trustees did not have to utilise any reserves and continued to maintain the hall and surrounding grounds to a high standard by continuing to employ commercial cleaners and gardeners and by keeping on top of maintenance issues as they arose. In April new venetian blinds were fitted to the main hall and replacement curtains purchased in July ready for use when the redecoration of the main hall, meeting room and foyer would be undertaken during the first two weeks of January 2022. During October work started on the car park. We were grateful to WJ South for their work renewing the car parking lines and those on the steps free of charge. Paving stones were repaired and extra bollards installed to deter travellers from setting up camp again. Also, the overflow car park surface was renewed with another layer of gravel. The success of the village hall relies on its day-to-day volunteers. This has been especially true in 2021. Susan Hague continues to perform the role of Booking Clerk and we also have a small band of volunteers (Joy and Philip Southwell, Ruth Wheeler and Beth Parsons) who, in addition to the HPRA Trustees, help out by opening and closing the hall daily and by meeting and greeting hirers at the weekends. We are extremely grateful for the hours that they put in and also to Neil Williams who co-ordinates all of the volunteers and also performs keyholding duties. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy** HPRA had cash balances at the end of 2021 of £120,058 (2020 £91,369). £50,000 of this was gifted along with the hall by the developers to be held for future hall maintenance and is ringfenced for this purpose for the long-term sustainability of the hall. This money is invested in two Charity Bonds to earn interest. Whilst the hall is still relatively new, we aim to meet any day-to-day maintenance costs out of rental income and any large maintenance projects out of excess rental income and also from applications for grant funding. We aim to keep operational cash reserves at a minimum of £10,000 to enable the hall to keep going in loss making periods. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing Document** Hatton Park Residents' Association (HPRA) is an unincorporated association established in 2000 and governed by Constitution dated 14 June 2001. It became a Registered Charity in January 2002. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity Number** 1090075 ## **Principal Address** Hatton Park Village Hall Barcheston Drive Hatton Park Warwick CV35 7TR 3 ## **HATTON PARK RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 December 2021** **________________________________________________________________________________________________** **Trustees** Veronica Chapman Susan Hague Neil Williams Colin Rogers Jake Thompson **Independent Examiner** Bernard Rogers & Co Bank Gallery High Street Kenilworth Warwickshire CV8 1LY **Bankers** Lloyds Bank plc 12 Swan Street Warwick CV34 4BJ ## **THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS** HPRA would firstly like to thank Hatton Parish Council for their continued support to HPRA and the residents of Hatton Park and for their financial contribution by way of annual precept.
