Trustees' Report 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 objects of the organisation are to provide a village hall for use of the inhabitants of the parish of Wales and the surrounding area in the county of South Yorkshire without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions including use for meetings, lectures, classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of said inhabitants.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable and Fundraising activities

As with most charities having survived the pandemic, rebuilding the business is a key priority; we have realised that this and the next few years will be our most challenging and survival is a real issue.

Being a "not for profit" organisation has not insulated us from the cost of living increases, in fact it has highlighted our vulnerability. The increases have had serious consequences on our charity, especially the cost of utilities which increased by nearly 400%; other fixed costs have risen by between 2% and 14%. Next year will also see the 10% increase in the national minimum wage.

Income from room hire has always been one of our main revenue streams, we are now seeing a loss of classes and our ability to find replacements is difficult in the current economic climate, fortunately parties seem to be holding steady.

Of our other income streams the rental of the Lamp and Pony and financial help in the form of Gift Aid has suffered the most. For the fourth year running no Gift Aid has been paid as no profit has been generated by the Lamp and Pony. This has been compounded by social impacts after Covid, Cost of Living and increased operating costs which has resulted in them being unable to meet even the monthly rent payments and stay open.

As always, we are extremely fortunate to have committed people supporting the Charity in the form volunteers and Trustees, however even in this area it has been extremely difficult to recruit new people to the organisation. Succession planning remains a top priority to enable us to keep the Village Hall open and available to all and to do that we need the full support of the community and its elected representatives.

Fundraising activities

We continue to support local community groups and charities (local primary schools, animal welfare groups, children's events, whenever we can.

We are extremely conscious of the economic impact on the community and try and keep our events affordable whilst raising funds.

Christmas this year was extremely successful we look forward to replicating this next year. Annual Halloween, Bonfire and Easter events were also well supported, however we are limited by the resources we have available to undertake events which adds pressure on to us all.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The results for the period are shown on page 6 - 7.

Donations - the amount shown for 2023/24 of £9,794 is mainly for Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive payments. There were no gift aid payments from the Lamp & Pony in 2023/24 (2022/23 £5,098).

£29,204 (2022/23 - £32,611) income was received from charitable activities. The reduction was mainly due to lower income from room hire due to tougher economic circumstances and increased local competition.

Other trading activities represents income from gaming machine takings and raffle/other ticket sales. Income from both these areas was around 50% lower than in 2022/23 mainly due to economic circumstances.

Investment income is bank interest, rent from the Lamp & Pony and rent from hire of a room to a Physio. Income was higher than 2022/23 due to a full years rent from the Physio and higher interest income due to increase in bank deposit rates.

Total costs excluding depreciation of £67,829 (2022/23 £37,496) are £30,333 higher than 2022/23 due to a £13,960 provision for bad debts relating to the rent from the Lamp & Pony and £20,913 increase in electricity costs due to increase in rates. These increases are partially offset by lower costs for repairs and maintenance.

Net expenditure before depreciation was £7,549 (2022/23 - net income £21,049). This was funded from reserves.

Principal funding sources

The main sources of funding are the hire of facilities at the hall for regular private functions, community group classes, fund raising events, and donations received from The Lamp and Pony bar. There are no outstanding funding applications at the present time.

Investment policy and objectives

The Village Hall is a very young company and is not yet at the stage of having funds to invest.

Reserves policy

The Management Committee is aware, and has a policy, that unrestricted funds held by the charity and not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should be between 3 and 6 months of expenditure.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

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.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13 April 2007 and registered as a charity on 7 January 2008. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under the Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute £10 each only. The company is exempt from the requirement to include 'limited' in the name.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. The Articles require a minimum of five and a maximum of nine trustees. Any vacant positions may be filled by co-option throughout the year. One quarter of the trustees must retire at each AGM, the longest serving to retire first, and may offer themselves for re-election if qualified. A retiring trustee may offer themselves for re-election for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Kiveton Park and Wales Village Hall

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kiveton Park and Wales Village Hall ('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.

The land and buildings, which are stated at cost, represent the village hall in the Parish of Wales. No valuation of this has been carried out. However, as this is a public building, the market value on an existing use basis may be lower than cost. No adjustment has been made to reflect this.

The buildings were part funded by a grant from the Wales Parish Council who hold a debenture over all of the fixed assets of the village hall.
