The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. ## **Objectives and activities** ## **a. Policies and objectives** The main object of the company is the provision and maintenance of the village hall for the use of inhabitants of the parish of Grasmere and the neighbourhood. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **a. Main achievements of the Company** It has been another very busy year for the Hall. The Trustees have continued to ensure the Hall is available and fit for purpose for hire by a wide variety of users, predominantly within the local parish but also more widely too. The income from hires and ticket sales was maintained in line with the previous year. Many of our users are repeat hirers who continue to provide very positive feedback to the Trustees which has been much appreciated and acknowledged. The Trustees actively seek to continue to develop and enhance the Hall for the benefit of a wide range of users and purposes. Excluding spend on key enhancement projects, our expenditure and running costs rose by 46.6% compared to the previous year. This was largely attributable to Health and Safety improvements and various routine maintenance replacement items. A key change during this financial year was the change of the car park from annual permits to a public automated number plate recognition pay basis with effect from August 2024. This will generate significantly greater income for the Hall, whilst preserving spaces for hirers and local short visits for convenience shopping. This change will raise much needed funds for major maintenance projects such as replacement guttering and external / internal redecoration. We are also pleased that we continued to subsidise and open the hall as a Community Warm Hub over winter, providing a location for people to meet up in a warm and inviting environment for coffee, tea and chat. This initiative was again well received and attended. The Trustees are fully committed to the maintenance and development of the Hall as a key community asset and continue to work extremely hard to achieve the charitable objectives of the Hall. Page 2 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **Financial review** ## **a. Going concern** After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. ## **b. Reserves policy** The Trustees have initiated fund raising for a major and much needed upgrade to our audio-visual facilities. This key project will be delivered in 2025 with costs expected of £30,000. We are already extremely grateful for grants from Cumbria Community Foundation, Lakes Parish Council and Westmorland and Furness Council, a substantial donation from Grasmere Village Society and a welcome number of user donations towards this project. Initial grant funds have also been received in partnership with Grasmere Village Society towards the purchase of a generator which would enable the Hall to operate as an emergency centre in the event of a major local disaster scenario. Details of restricted and unrestricted reserves are shown in the financial statements. In particular, note 13 shows details of the movements on restricted funds. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. Constitution** Grasmere Village Hall Company Limited is a company limited by guarantee, each member's contribution not exceeding £10 on dissolution. It was incorporated on 27 November 2001 and it was registered as a charity with effect from 13 February 2002. Trustees are appointed to serve for three years and may be re-appointed at the end of a term of service. The trustees meet quarterly or more frequently as required. Page 3 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by: ................................................ VWSe **Mrs S Dixon** Date: Page 4 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Grasmere Village Hall Company Limited ('the Company')** I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 November 2024. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 Company's accounts 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 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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 Trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and preparation of financial statements.

David Johnson (Aug 29, 2025 13:10:58 GMT+1) ................................................ **Mrs S Dixon Mr D Johnson** Date: The notes on pages 8 to 17 form part of these financial statements. Page 7 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **1. General information** Grasmere Village Hall Company Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales . Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. ## **2. Accounting policies** ## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Grasmere Village Hall Company Limited 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. ## **2.2 Income** All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. ## **2.3 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. ## **2.4 Government grants** Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred. Page 8 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.5 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. ## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |Freehold property|-|None| |---|---|---| |Fixtures and fittings|-|25% Reducing balance basis| ## **2.7 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **2.9 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. ## **2.10 Financial instruments** The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Page 9 **GRASMERE VILLAGE HALL COMPANY LIMITED** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.11 Fund accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. ## **3. Income from donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**
