Governing Documents
Longtown Memorial Hall Community Centre was constituted as a limited company by guarantee and an English Charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association on the 1 June 2013. The liability of each of its members being limited to £1 each.
Directors and Trustees
The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees. As set out in the Articles of Association, the chairperson of the trustees is nominated by the trustees.
Objectives and activities
The object of the Charity is to maintain a community centre for use by the inhabitants of the area of benefit for the advancement of the education of the said inhabitants and for the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreational and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
The community centre provides a wide range of recreational and social facilities, including a large hall and stage. This is used by the community and community groups for weddings, race nights, quizzes, public meetings etc, in addition there are a number of community groups currently totalling some 20 organisations that use the facilities. There is also a squash court, sauna and fitness suite.
Grant making policy
The charity does not distribute grants.
Investment policy
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit.
Reserves policy
Under the requirements of charity law the trustees are obliged to define the charity's policy for holding reserves. The intention in establishing this reserves policy is to ensure the continuation of the charity's activities. The policy will enable the charity to meet its legal objectives, provide confidence to supporters and donors seeking to give financial support to a prudently controlled charity and to ensure that the reserves are at a level sufficient to discharge all the charity's obligations in in the relevant that it should cease operations. A large proportion of the charity's reserves are held in bank accounts. It is the trustees considered opinion that in the event of the charity having to cease its operations there should be sufficient reserves available to allow the charity's obligations to to be discharged. The reserves which the charity is required to maintain are those needed to fund ongoing monthly costs and further development. To this end the trustees have decided that the charity should seek to have reserves which are not invested in fixed assets of a sum equal to not more than six months general running costs of the charity (described in the Statement of Financial Activities as total resources expended).
The general fund represents the unrestricted fund available from past operating results. It also represents the free reserves of the charity. At present the unrestricted funds, are at a level whereby the charity would be able to continue non restricted activities for a year in the event of a significant drop in funding.

Achievements and performance
Longtown Memorial Hall Community Centre went through a period of change in the last year, with changes in both the centre management and on the Board of Trustees. By the end of the year changes had been put in place with a new Centre Manager in place and the centre has been going from strength to strength.
We are pleased to report that the Centre continues to be well used by the local community, with some new groups coming on board this year. It has been great that the Centre remains at the heart of the local community, and we were proud to play our part in major local events such as the switching on of the Christmas Tree and on Remembrance Sunday.
Financial review
We have continued to face challenges with some rising costs, particularly energy costs. This has been balanced by healthy income from room hire and centre based activities. The Trustees would like to place on record our thanks to our donors and to everyone who uses the Centre.
Plans for future periods
Looking forwards we are hopeful that modernisation work with take place in the Centre during 2024-25, following receipt of grants from a number of funders. We continue to look for new sources of income and to grow our income from room hire and centre based activities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 2 October 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Longtown Memorial Hall Community Centre
Year ended 31 March 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Longtown Memorial Hall Community Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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
-
the financial statements 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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
