Trustee’s Report
The purpose of Rossett and Burton Village Hall continues to provide a facility for all members of the community on a not for profit basis. The hall has a commitment to fostering an environment where differences are valued, all individuals are treated with respect, and everyone has equitable opportunities, promoting fairness and belonging,
For the 2024/2025 tax year Rossett and Burton Village Hall just about broke even with income matching expenditure.
Additional costs were incurred with the implementation of a village hall manager. When the position started the village hall manager had to be equipped with tools to do her job, e.g. laptop and phone.
For a short period we paid the village hall manager position and the booking clerk. The VHM now manages all bookings.
The Village hall benefitted from a number of grants from Cadwyn Clwyd and the levelling up fund from Wrexham Council.
The funds were used for;
-
Improving the hard standing surrounding the village hall with a resin covering.
-
Internal furniture in the back rooms to make it more useful and attractive for rental income.
Improvements in the garden with hedging, planting and benches.
All records are supported by bank statements, invoices paid and receipts.
In conclusion;
Due to the inability to recruit trustees, I have taken the decision to close down the charity and hand over the assets to an new IMO charity run by other committee members. This will take place over the coming months.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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
