NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Equipment, Fixtures & Fittings - Straight line over 4 years
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

5. TAX CHARGE
Due to a significant fire at the local village school Jameston Village Hall has been let to Manorbier Community Primary school. This has resulted in the hall being unavailable for other groups and organisations. As a result the rent received from Manorbier Community Primary School fails to meet charitable status for UK taxation purposes, therefore a tax charge of £4,061 (2024 £4,379) is included in these accounts. Once the school no longer requires the hall, Jameston Village Hall will revert to full charitable status.

This curtailed our ability to provide a
premises for events and activities for
residents, although in order to meet our
wider objectives we have endeavoured to
provide events at alternative venues.
For instance, we have supported the
community at other venues, and run
regular well-supported coffee mornings.
For the past two years we have also
collaborated with the Giraldus Centre,
another local hall, providing a Christmas
lunch for all the local senior citizens of
Jameston and the wider parish, as well as
funding the local luncheon club
Christmas dinner, and providing sweets
for all the local Children for Christmas.
We are shortly to regain the use of the
hall, although we have not had a firm date
for the school to leave.

| Other | We are about to start negotiations with the Local Authority to regain full use of the community hall, following the County Council meeting on March 5th 2025 which decided that the school is to merge with another local primary school. The licence we granted them expires in July 2026 and while we do not yet have a date for the school’s departure, we shall be pushing for an early date. As we reported previously, a serious fire in October 2022 meant the imminent loss of the Manorbier VC School, a crucial community asset. The trustees considered the situation and the consequences very carefully, and unanimously decided to offer the Community Hall as a temporary home for the school. Local residents – members of the Association and residents within our area of benefit – were, and still are, very supportive of the decision Clearly, the decision fitted with the Association’s educational purpose. However, there were inevitable consequences for the community hall’s other activities although, in the event these consequences were far less serious than they might have been, as in the post-COVID period when the fire happened, activities were running at an all-time low, attendance at those events was extremely poor, and the hall faced financial difficulties. |
m~ÖÉ=NN
Now we know the school is to leave, our attention shifts immediately to consultation across the community as a whole, to identify the activities and events they want and will support. There is a Special General Meeting followed by an AGM on March 13[th] , to clarify where the Association stands at the moment, to move forward with the Association’s plans and to explain the way we intend to plan for the immediate and longer-term future. With a leaflet drop, posters, website information and personal contacts, we expect an extremely good turnout at these meetings, and a clear and positive plan for the way ahead.

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Allowing the local primary school to use the hall has meant that the children stay in the village, whereas they would have been split among other schools, had we not stepped in. Parents in our area of benefit have expressed gratitude that their children did not face a second trauma, after the fire… having individual and group friendships and bonds broken by having to travel to a range of unfamiliar schools. The return of the hall has been longer coming than expected, caught up in the proceedings of Pembrokeshire County Council, and the Church in Wales, neither of which is famous for speed. However, we now have clarity and shall be moving forward to regain the hall, and begin running events and activities that market research shows are in demand with our residents and members. |

Statement explaining the Para 1.22 We are currently retaining the majority of
policy for holding reserves the rental income from the council in
stating why they are held respect of the use of our hall by
Manorbier school.
When we regain the use of the hall some
of this money will go to carry out
necessary repairs to the buildings.
We shall then be exploring the extent to
which we can use the remaining ‘windfall’
funds to safeguard the future, and also to
subsidise events so as to maximise hall
use and reduce the cost to hirers, without
putting neighbouring halls at an unfair
disadvantage.

Six months after the 2025 AGM, two Holding Trustees raised a concern that an extra 7 days’ notice had been given for that meeting, which followed detailed advice from the Charity Commission in order to put right a history of administrative errors concerning the quorum.
Following advice from the Cranfield Trust, a Special General Meeting is set for March 13[th] , where Association members will be asked to vote to re-run the 2025 AGM immediately, to rectify the historic mistakes thought already to have been dealt with, and confirm the election of trustees at that meeting.
