Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which NVHL is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
NVHL is committed to enabling as many diverse local organisations, people and their families, as possible to use the hall for both regular and occasional educational, recreational and social activities at an affordable and realistic cost. During the period covered by this report these activities have, for example, included an Ofsted registered pre-school, dance classes providing tuition in a variety of different dance styles, providing a venue for weekly rehearsals and performance for a local amateur dramatics group, a place to practise painting skills with a local art group, a venue for a youth judo club, printing and collation of a monthly village magazine, puppy training classes, plus a venue for meetings held by the Parish Council.
In addition to these regular activities, the hall has been the venue of choice for a wide variety of occasional events, ranging from private family birthday parties and family christening celebrations, Christmas crafts workshop, comedy nights, Boogie Monsters dance events and a Christmas fair and shopping event.
In supporting all these activities and in the promotion of future additional and expanding activities, NVHL policy adheres strictly to the Charity Commission’s issued definition and guidance on what constitutes public benefit.
Achievement and Performance
In accordance with the responsibilities for the proper maintenance and refurbishment of the fabric of the hall, NVHL undertook the following actions during the period covered by this report:
-
Replaced the worn signage at the front of the hall
-
Invested in wifi boosters to improve the wifi signal for hall users
-
Took on a replacement village hall coordinator, chairman and three new committee trustees
-
Undertook general maintenance: plumbing repairs, lighting replacement in the main hall
-
Roofing repairs in January and February 2021
Financial Review
NVHL generates the majority of its income through the booking of the hall by village societies and organisations. The total income for the year was £29,033 (2020 - £22,104) and total expenditure amounted to £20,923 (2020 - £15,053) resulting in a net income of £8,110 (2020 - £7,051). The bookings for the year 2021 amounted to £15,362 compared to £10,715 for the previous twelve months period in 2020.
The trustees would like to acknowledge the grants received during the year from Tandridge District Council of £11,501 and from Nutfield Parish Council of £2,000.
As at the period end the charity held funds of £41,535 (2020 - £33,425).
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries the trustees are satisfied that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and for this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
The charity trustees (who are also directors of Nutfield Village Hall Limited) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the 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;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
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 that 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 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
