**HOLTON-LE-CLAY MULTI-PURPOSE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTRE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The Holton-le-Clay Multi-purpose Educational Resource Centre, which was formed on 18 August, 2010, was registered as a charity on 4 January, 2011 and is governed by its constitution.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Charity's aims and objectives are as follows;
- To further or benefit the residents of Holton-le-Clay and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
- To provide and maintain a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Holton-le-Clay, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions including use for meetings, lectures, classes and other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
- To help young people, especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and complied with section 17 (5) of the 2011 Charities Act when reviewing the aims and objectives prior to planning and developing activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The hall was opened 10th May 2014 for the purpose of providing amenities for the residents of Holton le Clay.
The Hall is used for Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates, Slimming Clubs, Karate, New Age Curling, Zumba, Exercise Classes, Camera Club, Sequence Dances, Children's Dance Classes and afternoon teas.
The hall is very busy with the above classes in the week and regular childrens parties at weekends.
HLCMERC events such as Monthly Afternoon Teas. Summer and Christmas and Quiz Nights continue to be very well attended by.
Blood Donor sessions have returned regularly at weekends now and are fully booked.
A new WI group has been formed and meet monthly at the Village Hall. They have also started monthly Sewing Clubs which have attracted a lot of attention.
We now have a new weekly chair-based exercise class which is so successful they are looking at another regular session
We have just had the floor sanded and revarnished in one room to keep it in good order.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The total income of the Charity for the year to 31 December 2024 amounted to £28,296 (2023 £30,044) and the expenditure for the year was £40,434 (2023 - £38,953) leaving a balance of expenditure over income for the year of £12,138 (2023 - £8,909).
The balance of the charity funds at 1 January, 2024 of £74,614 has therefore been reduced to £62,476 at 31 December, 2024. Free reserves at 31st December 2024 were £28,728. The state of affairs of the charity remains satisfactory as our constitution allows us to retain £10,000 for maintenance and general repairs to the hall. We have added reserves for the Summer Fayre of £5,000 to create a more realistic working capital figure.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **FUTURE PLANS**
We are confident we can continue to carry out our usual practices at the Village Hall as we continue to receive numerous enquiries for bookings and the Village Hall is held in high esteem by our residents.
We will be advertising soon to hopefully fill a couple of free afternoons with new classes.
The committee meet regularly to discuss new projects and work hard to maintain both the building and the reputation of our Village Hall. We will be reviewing the hourly rates charged at an upcoming committee meeting.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on 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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOLTON-LE-CLAY MULTI-PURPOSE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTRE**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Holton-Le-Clay Multi-Purpose Educational Resource Centre**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Holton-Le-Clay Multi-Purpose Educational Resource Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
