PATER HALL COMMUNITY TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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 objective of the trust, as stated in the Memorandum of Association is to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Pembroke Dock, South Pembrokeshire and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreations and other leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

Financial controls

In furtherance of the objects, but not otherwise, the trust may draw, make, accept, endorse, discount and issue promissory notes, bills, cheques and other instruments, and to operate bank accounts in the name of the trust. It may raise funds and invite and receive contributions, provided that in raising funds the trust does not undertake any substantial permanent trading activities and conforms with statutory regulations.

The principal activity of the company during the year was the provision of a hall for the benefit of the community.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Review of strategy, development, activities and achievements

This financial year has been one of our most trying years with several of our long-term clients either reducing their hours or stopping altogether. It is noticeable that the number of one off bookings for birthday parties etc are well down. However, we have been successful in attracting new corporate users to the complex and several new regular charitable organisations are now regular users The trust is very grateful to our cleaner who is continuing to maintain our standards. A considerable reduction in our energy costs will help to contain operating costs.

The trust has been successful in attracting over £100,000 in grants to install new toilets, a lift and kitchen to the Sunderland Room. We would like to thank The Welsh Government, The National Lottery, The Foyle Foundation and The Garfield Weston Foundation for their support. This work will hopefully be completed by end December.

We are also in the process of installing facilities for cinema / film events in our main hall. We would like to thank Valero, PDTC and PAVS for their financial support for this, not forgetting our Bingo players whose raffle money has paid for the sound system.

Our Friday warm room continues to go from strength to strength with ever increasing numbers. Thank you to our team of volunteers (more are always welcome) and to PDTC for funding the cost of food.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy

There are no restrictions on company's power to invest. However the company does not benefit from an endowment fund or hold large cash reserves. Restricted funds, donated for a specific purpose maybe held for short periods awaiting the completion of a particular project. These funds remain liquid and are held in low risk, high investment savings accounts.

Reserves policy

The trustees maintain their policy of keeping sufficient unrestricted funds as a reserve in order to cover the ongoing management and administration of the hall and to support occasional items of unforeseen expenditure.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PATER HALL COMMUNITY TRUST

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Pater Hall Community Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity's accounts as 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.
