THE HIVE PSJ LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Hive PSJ Limited
The Hive PSJ Limited was set up in 2025 as a separate entity as a company and charity. The Hive as an unincorporated organization existed prior to this incorporation. The annual report and accounts will reflect the whole 12 months from 1 January 2025 to December 2025
Buildings
The principal building available to The Hive PSJ Ltd :
- The Hive, Bath Road Peasedown St. John BA2 8DH
Governing Document
The charity is governed by the Charity Commission.
Public Benefit
The charity has due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Risk Management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Review of the Year
The Hive PSJ Ltd was formed in September 2025 in order to accept the full lease of the Hive building and by way of becoming separate from the umbrella of the PCC of Peasedown St John. It had already traded as an unincporated entity from before 1 January 2025. Thanks are extended to the PCC for providing guidance and the financial sercurity to enable the Hive project to become a reality and pave the way for autonomy.
A full lease is being negotiated with the expectation of acceptance in March 2026. The Hive PSJ Ltd has, in the meantime, accepted full responsibility for all costs associated with the running of the building with the exception of those areas set out in the lease.
Financial Review of the Year
Total incoming resources for the whole year 2025 were £127,755 (2024: £138,225). This comprises £127,755 of unrestricted funds. Expenditure for the whole year 2025 was £129,506 (2024: £126,725). This comprises unrestricted expenditure of £129,506.
This has lead to a small deficit in 2025 of £1,751 (2024: surplus of £11,500)
At the end of the year, the charity had unrestricted cash reserves that equated to approximately three months of unrestricted expenditure on its activities, based on the 2026 budget.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditor
Insofar as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware; and
-
- The trustees have taken all steps they ought to have taken to become aware of any relevant audit information and to ensure the auditor is aware of it.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the charity's state of affairs and of the incoming and applied resources of the charity for the period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP.
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
Prepare the financial statements in the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that, at any time, disclose the charity's financial position with reasonable accuracy and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and, hence, for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

THE HIVE PSJ LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Hive PSJ Ltd year ended 31[st] December 2025
This report on the financial statements of The Hive PSJ Ltd for the year ended 31[st] December 2025, which are set out on pages 1 to 5, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)
Respective responsibilities of the Hive PSJ Ltd and the examiner
As Trustees of the The Hive PSJ Ltd you are responsible for preparing the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for this year, under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under the 2011 Act. That examination includes a review of the The Hive PSJ Ltd’s accounting records and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes reviewing any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you, as trustees, regarding such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence required for 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 what has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act, have not been met: or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
