Heswall Hall Community Trust

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 August 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 August 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The Charitable Company was formed to benefit the Community of Heswall and its surrounds with the primary purpose of taking over and managing Heswall Hall for the benefit of the community.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The Trust has therefore established a wholly owned Trading Company to undertake additional activities to help fund the Trust in the future.

Public benefit

The charity is meeting the public benefit requirement as the purpose of the charity is to benefit the community of Heswall and the surrounding area.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Since reopening in July 2021 after a closure of sixteen months, we have had two full financial years of trading. In common with all community halls and hospitality venues these years have been very challenging on several fronts.

Initially, especially during our first full year 2021/22, some of our regular users found it difficult to encourage their membership back to the classes and social meetings/gatherings. However, by December 2022 we felt very encouraged by the feedback and responses from the community to our new facilities and event offerings.

The 'cost of living crisis' resulting largely from the huge increases in fuel prices throughout 2022 and 2023 has impacted the Trust, but we have been flexible and adaptable in meeting these challenges. We continue to strive to provide sustainable resources and services for our community.

Throughout 2023 we have seen our existing regular users expanding their classes, we have acquired new regular users, new hirers and new visitors, including many younger residents. Repeat bookings for regular large annual events are increasing.

The range and variety of events we offer continues to grow, and we attract a wider and broader audience not only from Heswall but across Wirral, Cheshire, and North Wales. Our ongoing strategy aims to balance and meet the needs not only of current users, but also our next and future generations.

The bar and catering partnerships continue and working together we aim to provide a first class service for weddings, parties, functions and events. The new sound and lighting facilities installed in 2021 during the closure have enabled the Trust to offer enhanced packages for private functions making Heswall Hall a desirable and affordable venue.

The unpredictable nature of the economy however continues to influence our reserves and we must regularly review our overheads and costs. It is our aim to move as soon as possible towards an operational surplus and build up our reserves. Meanwhile, the Trust continues to invest in the fabric of the building and enhance the current facilities. This year we added, with help from a generous donation, the festoon lights around the outside of the building which really adds to the appeal of our 1970s building. In addition, the night-time economy in Heswall has really grown in the last two years and we have plans to install a more sophisticated CCTV system next year.

The Trust continues to support local businesses through our active membership of the Heswall and District Business Association (whose monthly meetings are held at the Hall).

Management Review

This has been another difficult year, and we are grateful to our Trustees, staff and volunteers for their help and support. Our small staff have unfailingly risen to the challenges that working in a large community hall brings. They are, most often, the everyday face of the Trust and the first point of communication for the public, we are very grateful for their hard work and dedication this year.

The Trust is open to new applications for Trusteeship and are actively promoting the benefits of becoming a Trustee and joining our Board. In line with Charity Commission recommendations we have identified skills which we believe will help us in our future development.

No doubt next year will bring more challenges, but the Trust has a clear strategy, plans for the future and a willingness and strong desire to deliver.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Trustees of Heswall Hall have arrived at their reserves policy after taking into consideration the following factors.

A level of reserves is required in order to protect the future of the hall against the risk of unforeseen variances in income and for Maintenance, Refurbishment and Development works.

The level of reserves has been arrived at to ensure continuity of the Hall taking into account the monthly expenditure required for running costs and any to fund liabilities, should the hall be faced with unplanned closure.

There is a concern about the possible volatile nature of the income stream due to factors that are outside the control of the hall such as car park closures and competition from other event spaces in the area and feel it would be prudent to keep six months running costs in reserve to cover unforeseen emergencies.

The hall has invested funds that are managed with expert advice, in order to raise income for the charity and meet liabilities if so needed. These funds are readily accessible. The trustees have invested these funds with a view to an acceptable level of risk as to when the funds may be needed.

The reserves policy is reviewed by the trustees and adjusted accordingly on a regular basis but at least once a year.

The reserves exclude the restricted funds that are held by the hall.

In addition to maintaining an adequate level of reserves, the trustees are also looking at alternative income sources and new initiatives.

It is the policy of Heswall Hall Community Trust to keep reserves of £166,000; the breakdown is shown in the designated funds note.

These reserves will be monitored throughout the year and reviewed annually with reference to the budget process.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Heswall Hall Community Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Heswall Hall Community Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023.

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

  2. 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

  3. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about Heswall Hall Community Trust as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised upon receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Theatre - 10% on cost
Improvements to property - 4% on cost
Computers & equipment - 33% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost

Related party exemption

The charitable company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
