The charity receives income from the hire of the hall and grants from the Parish Council. During this period, the hall has been closed due to the Covid-19 restrictions however preschool was able to reopen and we were successful in obtaining a Covid-19 grant from South Derbyshire District Council which has maintained our income. Expenditure has increased due to a trustee decision to reinstate the policy of reimbursing the Parish Council for the caretaker’s wages which did not occurred in 2020/21. The caretaker is on the payroll of the Council to minimise administration costs administering pensions etc.

Use of the hall

The main hall, prior to Covid, was heavily subscribed and the bookings clerk had to turn away potential hirers. As noted above, the hall use has been substantially impacted during

the year due to the hall closure. For the forthcoming year, indications are that the hirers will return as covid restrictions are lifted.

Village Hall Improvement Project

Phase 2 of the project was constructed in October / November 2020 within budget and the upgraded Pavilion room, toilets and entrance hall are now available for use as the hall reopens.

Over the next few years, it is anticipated that further Section 106 funding will become available and in anticipation of this, Phase 3 is being prepared. Phase 3 will primarily consist of improvements to the main hall to install an insulated suspended ceiling, upgrade the lighting and heating and install an upgraded public address / hearing loop system. These works will significantly improve our environmental impact.

Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the FRANK WICKHAM HALL – CHARITY NO 1111226

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under Section 43(3) of the Act and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner's statement

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

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

2. ⚫ to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act and

3. ⚫ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and

4. ⚫ to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met, or

5. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached,
