STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust dated 26th March 2004, and constitutes a company limited by guarantee.

Objects, aims and activities

Operating as a charitable company limited by guarantee, the Trustees are responsible for the management of premises owned by Hart District Council known as the Cross Barn Odiham.

The objects of Cross Barn Odiham are “to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Odiham and the surrounding area, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare, and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.”

Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees met monthly as The Cross Barn Management Committee. The Events group is a sub-committee of the main Board and meets as required

Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of trustees

In accordance with the Trust Deed one third of the Trustees must retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting and, being willing, will offer themselves for re-election. M K Drayton, I Green and H J Swalheim will retire at the forthcoming AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election. R L T Jones will also seek re-election, having exceeded the maximum term of office of 9 years. R Coleman was appointed as a Trustee at a meeting on 15th October 2020.

All new Trustees are appointed on the basis that they have enough knowledge and experience to understand the nature of the charity, to manage their duties responsibly and to further the charity’s objectives and aims. Trustees attend training sessions as appropriate

Related parties

The charity manages the Barn with the agreement of Hart District Council, owners of the property.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees periodically reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed and has ensured that systems are adequate to mitigate those risks. The charity has both Public and Employer's Liability Insurance and Charity Trustee Insurance cover.

A premises licence has been granted by Hart District Council.

Governance

In March 2018 the Board reflected on the recommendations of the new Charity Governance Code. The Board are satisfied that they operate within best practice guidelines

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In June 2017, the Trustees launched Barn 500, which sets out the projects to be undertaken over the next few years to ensure the Barn can celebrate its 500[th] anniversary in style in 2032. Having completed the upgrade of the washroom facilities in Spring 2018, the Trustees worked with LEADER, Hampshire County Council and Hart District Council to secure grants, which together with the final Barn 500 donations and support from the Friends, enabled the kitchen to be significantly upgraded in the Summer of 2019. A substantial upgrade to the audio-visual equipment to support the programme of cinema and screened events was made in the summer of 2020. We received a grant from LEADER, Hampshire County Council to support this investment.

Significant activities

The Barn, when opened post pandemic, will continue to be the home of U3A Odiham. Other major regular users will include the Hart Male Voice Choir, an art group, dance and exercise classes and the Two Fold Trust. A significant number of bookings from individuals and groups to hire the Barn for their special occasion are continuing to be made in anticipation of lockdown restrictions being lifted.

The Cross Barn management committee maintains its good working relationship with Hart District Council, particularly with regard to improving the fabric of the premises. In April 2015 Hart DC formally granted a 20 year lease of the building to the Cross Barn management committee. This recognises the commitment that each party has to the building and facilities, and protects the community’s investment in its infrastructure.

Throughout the year the Barn was maintained as a “Covid Secure Building” which attracted business in closure; Polling Station and NHS/RMS immunisation centre.

The Trustees and the Events Group continued to meet through Zoom

A part time bookkeeper was appointed by the charity on 1[st ] April 2020. The manager and cleaners are self-employed. In addition, the Barn relies heavily on the Trustees and other volunteers to conduct its day to day activities and deliver its programme of events.

Plans for the Future

The Barn reopened it’s doors in May following the restricted use allowed by the Government guidelines, and continued to welcome it’s customers back as soon as lockdown restrictions were eased. We plan to start a full schedule of events, assuming no further restrictions, after the summer break, in September.

With improved audio-visual capabilities, including a high quality roof beam mounted camera, Zoom capabilities and new cinema quality projectors we will be offer the community an enhanced service allowing hirers to the maintain remote links developed during the COVID crisis.

2021/2 will be a year of recovery and consolidation to ensure we are able to bring our finances back in good order, before resuming our Barn500 program of enhancements to the Barn to enhance it’s community value and service.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Results

The Barn apart from a limited number of activities was closed during the year. As a result earnings from activities in the Barn fell from £46829 to £2496 in the current financial year and operational expenditure, excluding depreciation, was £20557 a reduction of £22515.

Cleaning was carried on throughout the year, which was necessary in order to secure the Barn’s status as a Covid secure venue.

Despite this operational loss, the Barn benefited from substantial grants from the Government, via Hart District Council, in the form of sustainability and re-start grants for the months that we were forced to be closed. The combination of these funds and our reduced expenditure has resulted in a surplus of £2937 for the year. In addition, the Friends of the Barn have maintained their subscription, which is gratefully acknowledged.

Reserves policy

The contingency fund ensures that a significant amount of money is available to cover unforeseen adverse events and it currently stands at £15,000 Funds raised by the Friends are separately identified and may be used to support the Barn activities as agreed by the Trustees.

Likewise, the Barn 500 reserves are separately identified having completed the major refurbishment of the washrooms and kitchen.

The unrestricted fund represents the operational surpluses of running the Cross Barn and the minor operational capital expenditure.

Transfers between the funds may be authorised by the Trustees as appropriate

The Cross Barn Odiham Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages eight to eleven.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
