Haslemere Hall Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The Trustees submit their annual directors' report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued in October 2019).

Objects of Charity

These were defined in the Articles of Association of the Haslemere Hall, dated 10th May, 2013 and which came into force as at 1st January, 2016, when all the assets of the "Old" Haslemere Hall (Charity Number: 305058), with the exception of cash of £5,001, were taken over and the "new" Charity (Charity Number: 1155881) commenced trading.

The "new" Charity, Haslemere Hall, is limited by guarantee: (Registered Company Number: 08601292)

The "new" Charity continues the objects of the "old", these being defined in the Articles of Association as: "The Objects of the Charity are to provide and maintain a hall for the use of the inhabitants of Haslemere and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, or of political, religious or other opinions, and in particular for use for meetings, lectures and classes, and for other forms of education, recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants."

Haslemere Hall Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 (Continued)

Structure, Governance and Management

Haslemere Hall, which is situated in Bridge Road, Haslemere, was erected in 1913 and “given to the people of Haslemere for their benefit and enjoyment” by Barclay Lewis Day.

Trustees

The Annual General Meeting held on September 13th, 2022, was held under the rules of the constitution.

Both Paul Thompson and Guy Davenport stood down by rotation, (para 3.4 of the Memorandum of Association) but each offered themselves for re-election.

Stephen Bennett was invited to move from Society Nominee to Public Trustee and was elected.

The Society nominees – Adrian Stent, Kim Seymour and Lorraine Collins, had all been re-nominated by their societies and were therefore eligible to be re-elected.

There were two nominations for the committee: Lucy Moir and Jock Gardner. Both were proposed and seconded and were elected

All Trustees were duly re-elected in accordance with the Trust's requirements.

The Trustee Board is as follows:

Public: Lian Barrow, Guy Davenport, Hamish Donaldson, Jenny Hill, Paul Thompson, Stephen Bennett and Nick Westcott White.

Society Nominations Adrian Stent Haslemere Players Kim Seymour Haslemere Thespians Lorraine Collins Haslemere Musical Society Lucy Moir Surrey Theatre Academy Jock Gardner Haslemere U3A

Peter Taylor was re-elected in order that he may continue to advise over the Hall constitution.

Councillor Simon Dear was welcomed as the Haslemere Town Council's nominated representative.

All Trustees of the Haslemere Hall are also Directors of Haslemere Hall Limited.

Howard Bicknell continues to be The Haslemere Hall Manager.

Details of officers and professional advisers are shown on page 1.

Organisation

The day to day organisation of the Hall is delegated to the Hall Manager, responsible to the Trustees. The Manager is responsible for all aspects of running the Hall, including the necessary compliance with the rules and regulations governing the Hall, health and safety and licensing requirements. The Manager gives a full report of the activities of the Hall at each meeting and his report is recorded in the minutes.

Haslemere Hall Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 (continued)

Risk Management

Before the Covid outbreak, the Trustees had examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Trust faces and confirmed that systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

Since the first lockdown in February 2020, steps were taken to reduce as much of our normal expenditure as possible. Where possible, advantage was taken of the Furlough arrangements which, towards the end of the year, allowed part - time furlough arrangements. This was very helpful.

Financial Review

Income

Income increased from £253,000 in 2021, to £266,000 in 2022

Expenditure

Expenditure increased from £218,000 in 2021, to £282,000 in 2022

.

Despite our best efforts to minimise expenditure, recovery from the pandemic was slower to materialise in patronage than expected, resulting in a one-off loss of £16,124, which the trustees are confident will be turned around in the years ahead as we return to life as we knew it.

Haslemere Hall Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022 (continued)

Overall Result

Net income for 2022 resulted in a deficit of £21,928 (2021 - £29,000). The Arts Council awarded a further £14,650 which we transferred to unrestricted reserves.

Unrestricted reserves finished the year at £104,425 (2021 - £111,704)

Achievements and Performance

We were very pleased with the amazing quality of the live performances - Thespians, Players, Surrey Theatre Academy, Haslemere Musical Society, Imagine That and many others. The houses were all nearly filled and the costumes, bands and actors were amazing.

Sadly, the houses for the films, with a few exceptions, have experienced considerably lower houses than we experienced in the past.

.

Plans for the Future

The Trustees aim to continue offering the hall for the use of the inhabitants of Haslemere and the neighbourhood. They are committed to maintain the fabric of the Hall and to continue making it energy efficient. They are also committed to encourage fuller houses for films in 2023.

The main challenge is to refurbish the flat roof. It is likely to cost some £40-50,000. We will be seeking donors.

Reserves Policy

The policy of the Trustees is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the Trust, at a level of around 6 months expenses of the Hall plus sufficient to cover irregular maintenance (for example redecoration every 5 years).

Using figures for 2022, 6 months expenses were £141,000 (2021 £109,000) with unrestricted reserves of £104,000 (2021 £112,000).

At the end of 2022, we had cash of £142,000 ( 2021 £148,000).

Summary of Reserves in 2022:

6 months expenses: £141,000 Cash of at the end of 2022: £142,000 Unrestricted reserves: £104,000

Our target is to increase our Unrestricted Reserves by £40,000 in 2023

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Haslemere Hall for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

By order of the board of trustees

Haslemere Hall Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting Policies

a) Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified for the revaluation of investments. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102) (Issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. They have been prepared on an accruals basis of accounting.

b) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted accounting Practice

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS102 and the Charities SORP FRS102 a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required.

c) Income Recognition

Income is recognised in the period in which it is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable accuracy.

(1) Grants and Donations

Free donations are taken to unrestricted funds. Tied gifts are separately accounted for to ensure that they are utilised in accordance with the purpose for which they #REF! were given. Where grant income is used to purchase fixed assets, a restricted fund is established which will reduce annually in line with depreciation of the fixed assets purchased.

(2) Investment Income

Investment income is stated at the amount received in the year.

(3) Trading Activities

Income received from trading activities is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities and broken down to show gross income and expenses in the notes to the financial statements.

TRUE

d) Fund Accounting

(2) Unrestricted Funds

The general funds are the free funds of the hall. They are not tied as are the restricted funds for a specific use.

(3) Restricted Funds

Where a donor has specified a particular purpose for a donation or gift, the donation or gift is separately accounted for to ensure that it is only used for the purposes originally specified by the donor.

(4) Designated Funds

Designated funds are amounts which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for a specific, but not legally binding, purpose.

e) Expenditure Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
