**NEW ORIEL HALL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
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 December 2023. 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).
## **Incorporation**
The charitable company was incorporated on 26 January 2006, and is limited by guarantee.
## **Objectives**
The objectives of the charity are the provision and maintenance of New Oriel Hall, Brookleaze Buildings, Larkhall, Bath, for the use of residents in the area of benefit; without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes and other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said residents.
## **Review of activities**
During this year, income from the Hall lettings totalled £62,049. Added to this figure are investment income £268; 100 club income of £1,171; donations of £227; other income of £641 making a total income for this year of £64,356.
Unrestricted expenditure of the hall was £80,119 and governance costs were £6,047 giving a total of £86,166. This resulted in a net income over expenditure for the year of unrestricted funds of minus £21,810.
Restricted fund expenditure includes a charge of £25,233 depreciation on the freehold costs of the Hall; garden and yard refurbishment, and depreciation of other assets of £60; a total of £25,293. The depreciation on the freehold represents 2% of the costs thus allowing the initial costs to be written off over fifty years. The actual market value of the hall is not reflected in the accounts.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in income, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities. Unrestricted reserves are £47,420 so in excess of this target.
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees have complied with section 4 of the 2011 Charities Act, having due regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives.
## **Risk factors**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
## **ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:**
**Trustee M Kelleher Date:**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEW ORIEL HALL**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages four to nine.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity 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 company’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 that in any material respect:
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.

During this year, income from the Hall lettings totalled £62,049. Added to this figure are investment income £268; 100 club income of £1,171; donations of £227; other income of £641 making a total income for this year of £64,356.
Unrestricted expenditure of the hall was £80,119 and governance costs were £6,047 giving a total of £86,166. This resulted in a net income over expenditure for the year of unrestricted funds of minus £21,810.
Restricted fund expenditure includes a charge of £25,233 depreciation on the freehold costs of the Hall; garden and yard refurbishment, and depreciation of other assets of £60; a total of £25,293. The depreciation on the freehold represents 2% of the costs thus allowing the initial costs to be written off over fifty years. The actual market value of the hall is not reflected in the accounts.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in income, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities. Unrestricted reserves are £47,420 so in excess of this target.
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees have complied with section 4 of the 2011 Charities Act, having due regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives.
## **Risk factors**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEW ORIEL HALL**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages four to nine.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity 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 company’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 that in any material respect:
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.
