# **Kingsway Hall Management Trust CIO Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

**Full name** Kingsway Hall Management Trust CIO 

**Other names by which the charity is known** Kingsway Hall 

**Organisation type** Charitable incorporated organisation 

**Registered charity number** 1155540 

## **Principal address** 

Kingsway Hall, Clipstone Road West, Forest Town, Notts, NG19 0DU 

## **Trustees** 

Robert Wyatt, Chair Sylvia Wyatt Norma Sparkes 

## **Independent examiner** 

John O’Brien, employee of Community Accounting Plus, Units 1 & 2 North West, 41 Talbot Street, Nottingham, NG1 5GL 

## **Governance and management** 

The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 29 January 2014. 

The trustees invite individuals who have a contribution to offer. This can be as a result of living locally or from their occupation and skillset. Those who accept and join as trustees are appointed through trustee meetings. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The principal objects of the charity are to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Forest Town and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants to establish or secure establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage, or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the trust in furtherance of the above objects. 

## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit** 

The Trust's main activities are its charitable provision which includes older people's health and well-being, Clubbercise, Yoga, Tai Chi, Latin dancing and daycare outreach for disabled people. 

The Grade II building acts as a community centre and hub for local usage. 

The public can hire the main hall for meetings usually for things like annual conventions, keeping fit physically and various other activities as well as accessing

two bespoke training rooms which have now been partially occupied by professionals giving benefits advice to both those in-work and out of work. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'. 

## **Summary of the main achievements during the period** 

Main achievements include the provision of our lunch club which not only provides healthy cooked meals but provides mental and physical activities. A by-product of this direct provision is the evolvement of community cohesion. Many attendees do so as much for the meals and activities as they do to combat loneliness and isolation. We employ a system whereby any non-attendees are contacted to check their wellbeing and this is having an effect of increased numbers. 

We provide Clubbercise, Yoga, Taekwondo, Latin dancing and Tai Chi sessions which all adds to health and well-being. 

The Hall is now open 7 days and evenings a week. 

Sunday multi-faith worship takes place. 

We have been personally and financially supported by Notts County Council, Mansfield District Council, the UKSPF (United Kingdom Strategic and Partnership Fund), County Councillors and District Councillors and Mansfield CVS (Community and Voluntary Sector) to whom we are extremely grateful. 

It is also worthy of note that there is an increasing number of volunteers supporting the work we do and again to whom we offer our thanks and gratitude. 

Year on year more rooms are re-decorated to add to the ambience and encourages re-use of the building by those attending for the first time. 

We are also the Polling Station for 2 wards. 

## **Financial Review** 

The year ending March 2024 has seen a continuing level of balancing income and expenditure in order to maintain the charitable aims of the charity in providing the ability to tackle loneliness and isolation for anyone, regardless of age, and the trustees are committed to continue this fine line of room hire income to subsidise the weekly lunch group. 

## **The charity’s policy on reserves** 

Our reserves target is 3 months running costs (circa £25,000), which we are currently exceeding but are mindful of potential repairs and maintenance pressures on such an old building.

## **Financial risks** 

The very nature of leasing a grade II listed building on a fully-repairing peppercorn rent is the concern of a major roof restoration.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Kingsway Hall Management Trust CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Kingsway Hall Management Trust CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 that in any material respect:

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

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.
