The governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Associailon of th8 limited company which was incorporated on 22 May 2013. All Iruslees were directors during this period of accounts. They ar8 SUPPOrted by management MMIttee. An assessment of major risks has beèn completèd by the trustees and they have determined that the charitable company is not exposed to any major risks. The m8n8gemenl committee is responsible for maintaining the books and records of the charitablè company and lo ensure that SLtfficienl reserves are held and projected lo be held lo ensure that the all future commitments can be mel. The year ended 31 May 2025 repr8S6nted the 618v8nth full year that the ¢harity has owned the building, now known as Horspalh Communlty Hub. The regular classes and clubs continue throughout the year and there are many private meetings, celebrations, and talks that lake place al the Hub during the weekends and evenings. We were abl8 lo follow up the talk by Mensun Bound this year with a talk conceming the support workers set up by Shackleton that had a terrible time when Shackleton did not show up. This was a fascinating account. We wouldn't be able lo organise all of those without our efficient Webmaster, who has made some changes lo make the website more effiaenl and infom181ive especially for those hiring the hall lor their cwn personal events. Our Scarecrow trail was attended again in October not just by villagers, btrt from very many people Ihroughout Oxlordshire who make It 8 f8mily day out during the autumn half term. And we held our Apple Day during this event 50 there was even more for people to join in wth. We have held markets again this year our annual Christma5 event and the spring Produc8 market whiGh always proves popular both wlh those purchasing and those selling. The Village M8g8zine which is run and written by members of The Friènds and goes out every other month lo the whole of the village continues lo keep the village inform8d of all th8 8venls and aclivilie5. We have welcomed a new trustee Mr. John Underdown and fortunalaly as the Age concem are no longer running our Film Club, he has stepped in lo run this monthly event. Unfortunately, in April we learnt the Post Office al Great Milton was going to dose du8 lo the tlEment ol the Post Mistress. This meant that we loo would have lo close. Since then, we have been running a cempaign lo keep our Post Offic£ open which has included a petition that has taken us up to 10 Downing Street and we have had the full sUPPOrt of our MP and Local Councillor. We are still awaiting the decision by the Post Office but we are still hopeful. The Friday Cafe that supported the Post Office has remained open bLrt 811 those that 811end are very upset that they can no longer include business Ihat the Post Office attended too. page 3
