In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity.

Organisational Structure

Shilbottle Community Hall Ltd has a Management Committee of up to 12 members who meet monthly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity as well as the day to day running of the Hall. At December 31[st] 2024 the Committee has four members from a variety of User Groups with a variety of skills.

Responsibilities of the Management Committee

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the management committee should follow best practice and:

The Management Committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. The Management Committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Our Aims and Objectives

Purposes and Aims

Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's Memorandum of Association are to:

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

Each year we review our objects and activities to ensure that what we are doing meets the objects of the charity. In reviewing the year, it helps us focus on what we need to do in the coming year in order to further our aims, encourage other groups to use the Hall and consider what fundraising events we need to run. The User Groups also have opportunities to feedback their thoughts and suggestions through quarterly meetings with members of the Management Committee.

The focus of our work

Our main objectives for the year were to continue to encourage further groups to use the Hall, seeking to

make the Hall as widely available to local residents as possible and to consider a variety of fundraising events to bring in extra revenue. We also focused on continuing to iron out the building problems we have encountered, ensuring the building is safe for all users and in great condition for the coming years.

How our activities deliver public benefit

Who used and benefited from Shilbottle Community Hall?

A wide range of groups of people have used the Hall during 2024, involving a wide age range, men and women, people with disabilities and different ethnic backgrounds providing a range of opportunities for learning, social interaction, and recreation and leisure pursuits and thus enhancing the lives of those taking part.

First and foremost, we are delighted to report that various groups have continued to use the hall. The hall is currently used by: SCYPP (Toddlers and Youth Groups), Local History group, Over 50s Keep Fit, St. James' Church, Time to Care, Carpet bowls, Recreational Art, Badminton, Ukulele group, Women's Workshop, WI, Yoga, Clooties, Gateway Church Northumberland, Line Dancers, AMICALE, Northumberland County Council, Highlights, and Leading Link. The line dancers have expressed their love for our hall and have organized several events, which have been thoroughly enjoyed by participants. We have also had some model plane flyers using the hall! The biggest change has been the NCC EOTAS’s use of the Whittle and Bilton rooms to educate young people outside of mainstream education. These rooms previously had been underused and it’s great to see them generating a regular income for the hall. We have also continued to see an increase in the number of private bookings for parties which has generated even more income for the hall. As you can see, our hall is bustling with energy and engagement. We have again had a number of parties held at the hall creating cherished memories for people in our community as well as farther afield. The parties are also generating a good income for the hall.

The Youth provision in the village continued with Shilbottle Children and Young People’s Project continuing to run groups for all ages and overseeing the provision for the children and young people in the village.

What fundraising events have we run?

In July 2024, Shilbottle welcomed our French visitors from our twin village, Héry. The Amicale used the hall for their welcome evening to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the exchange. Good food, wine and dancing were enjoyed by all.

In October, we welcomed Highlights once again with a show named George Egg. George Egg featured a stand-up comedian and anarchic chef who cooked plates of gourmet cuisine onstage using unexpected equipment and unconventional methods in a funny, inspiring and absurd show which was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who came to watch.

Highlights Show

At the end of November, we held another successful Christmas fair where people from across all age ranges attended and even Father Christmas came along! This year, we decided to run a design your wreath competition and we had many great entries. The event was successful in raising a large amount of money to support the running of the hall.

The Christmas period was full of events including the Highlights metal embossing Christmas tree ornament event, a Christmas quiz and the Christmas Carol Service. All of which were well attended and brought lots of festive cheer.

In conclusion, we would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our members, volunteers, and the many local organisations whose support has been vital to the continued success of our village hall. Through your dedication and shared efforts, we have maintained a welcoming and vibrant space that strengthens community ties, encourages individual development, and contributes positively to village life. We look forward to us building on this strong foundation together, ensuring our village hall remains a valued hub and a true source of pride for our community.

What grant funding have we secured and for what?

We received £30,000 from the Community Action Fund towards the replacement of one of our Ground Source Heat Pumps and a complete refit of the lights inside and outside the building, upgrading them to LED. All this was in the hope of reducing our bills and increasing our energy efficiency.

How have we maintained and managed the facilities?

Shilbottle Community Hall has, as is normal, required ongoing maintenance during 2024. A thorough maintenance and fire risk assessment was carried out in the summer as usual. Health and safety signs were updated, we got on top of the weeds around the building and in the turbine compound again, continued to maintain the Wind Turbine and continue to hope this will help reduce our utility bills.

Maintenance Week was successfully organised over the summer and lots of weeding was done to keep the building looking smart from the outside. In conjunction with Alnwick Gardens, we created a raised bed gardening area in front of the

7

building for the Youth project. Inside the building, we have replaced all the light bulbs with lower energy light bulbs. Additionally, we also replaced the outdoor bulbs, again with lower energy bulbs. This was made possible due to funding we secured from Community Action Northumberland’s Community Spaces Partnership which is a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

Due to the steep increase in energy costs, we have been looking at ways to increase our income. With this in mind, we now have an InPost locker drop off point, a bra bank and a clothing donation. We receive payments from all

Christmas decorations

three which helps to subsidise the increased energy costs. In addition, as mentioned early both the Whittle and Bilton rooms are now being used daily creating another income stream.

Our ongoing responsibilities include the maintenance of the emergency lights, alarm and fire equipment, the gas boiler, the ground source heat pumps, the Lightning Protection system for the building, PAT testing, gutter clearance, and the upkeep of the fabric of the building.

Contribution of Volunteers

Shilbottle Community Hall is managed, maintained, and run by a strong team of volunteers. The Management Committee oversees all the bookings and activities at the Hall, are the main key holders and organise and help run the majority of the fundraising activities. It is supported by a large number of volunteers who help run events and put on fundraising activities of their own and a number of them are also key holders helping with the opening and closing of the building through the week. We are indebted to all of these people and recognise we could not function and fundraise without them.

We are grateful to Gill Bray for all the work she does for the Community Hall. GIll ensures everything runs as it should and without her commitment, knowledge and passion, the hall would struggle to operate as it does, thank you Gill! Special thanks go to Denise and Alistair Mackay who organise the well attended and successful quizzes. Sheila Robertson has continued to support us extremely well over the last year and without her efforts, the 200 Club would be on the decrease instead of being full. Various groups continue to support us in numerous ways, particularly when we have fundraising efforts.

Carrying out our Plans in the Future

Over the past year, we have assessed what we think works well in the hall and what we could do to improve. Our future plans still include securing funding to remodel the kitchen to make it more user friendly. This will hopefully involve moving some of the existing units around, installing further shelving and drawers, installing a new range cooker and generally making the kitchen more user friendly. We have also been successful

Gateway Church Northumberland

in securing funding to install solar panels and we hope that the work will commence in 2026.

The steep increase in energy costs has been very worrying for us and we have been encouraging users of the hall to consider their energy use while in the hall. In addition to encouraging lower energy consumption, as a management committee we have researched how to make the hall more energy efficient and invited a charity to carry out an energy usage audit.

Along with maintaining the great usage of the hall by users, we still need more volunteers to join the Management Committee to keep steering the hall forward, many hands make light work as they say!

We have continued to develop our relationship with the school and it has been lovely to be able to display the childrens’ art work at different events. We hope to increase the number of activities we do with the school to encourage both the children and their families to use the hall.

Financial review

Overview

Shilbottle Community Hall was well supported over the last year. Going forward we need the continuation of support and hard work of our user groups, so we can be confident that the hall will continue to be a resource for the whole community and have the financial capability to provide more events and opportunities for the community to come along to.

We made an operating loss in 2024 of £6854. This is due to increasing energy costs which we are attempting to minimise for the future.

Principal Funding Sources

Shilbottle Community Hall's income is from the room hire fees paid by the User Groups and bookings from parties and outside groups, plus the fundraising events we run. The 200 Club also continued to bring in some extra funding. The grant from the Community Action Fund was specifically for the replacement of the GSHP and upgrading the lighting inside and outside the building.

Reserves Policy

The Management Committee has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted fun ds held by the charity should be at least three months of the

Minis Youth Club decorating the Christmas Tree

expenditure, but with the uncertainty of regular group income and changes in fuel bills, we are aiming to have six months reserves. Budgeted expenditure for 2025 is £27868 and therefore the target for three months reserves is £6967 in the general funds. The target for six months reserves is £13934. The reserves are needed to meet the day-to-day expenditure requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. At the end of 2024, the general funds (i.e. total funds less the restricted money in the bank) had £22189 in them, easily giving us our six months buffer going into 2025. The strategy is to continue to build reserves through normal

9

revenue surpluses, to enable us to consider future plans for the Hall and build reserves for any building maintenance that may arise.

Auditors

Lucid Accounting Ltd were appointed as the charitable company’s auditors during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 relating to small entities.
