## **SHEET VILLAGE COMMUNITY TRUST** **(Charity registration no: 1147676)** ## **ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 1 ## **SHEET VILLAGE COMMUNITY TRUST** ## **ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **INFORMATION AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT** ## History The Trust was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 26 March 2012 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 13 June 2012. It successfully converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 9[th] April 2019. ## Trustees Mr V R Clarke Mr R S Gibbons Mr O R Jonathan Colonel A G Platt Rear Admiral J A Trewby CB ## Objects The Charity’s objects are specifically restricted to such of the following as are wholly charitable and for the public benefit:- - the conservation of the environment in and around the village of Sheet in Hampshire (“the beneficial area”); - the provision and enhancement of public amenities in the beneficial area; - the advancement of the education of the public about the conservation and protection of the environment within the beneficial area; and - the acquisition of equipment and of land with or without buildings within or in the immediate vicinity of the beneficial area for the purposes of public amenity recreation and enjoyment. ## Trustees’ report for the year This year the SVCT Trustees met on 30/08/2022 to approve the 21/22 accounts. The combined AGM of the SVCT and the Sheet Association was held 28/10/2022. Apart from the publication of Sheet News (now in full colour and in its 30[th] year) the Sheet Association supported two events this year. The first was the Platinum Jubilee street party in June which attracted over 350 people. The second was the Winter Warmer Café, providing warm drinks and cakes in the Village Hall every Friday in the winter for those in need during the current cost of living crisis. Grants have been received from the Sheet Parish Council for last year’s Platinum Jubilee lunch, this year’s Coronation lunch and the Winter Warmer Café. Grants 2 were received from East Hants District Council and Hampshire County Council for the Platinum Jubilee lunch but they appeared in last year’s accounts. Hampshire County Council also provided a grant for the Winter Warmer Café. So far no village assets have been transferred to the Trust but it remains a facility to safeguard village assets in future against any potential change in council governance. ## Public benefit The Trustees have had regard to the guidance of the Charity Commission with regard to public benefit and are satisfied that throughout the year under review the Trust fulfilled the requirement to operate solely in the interests of the public and for its benefit.
