Continuing to foster further user/volunteer engagement and two-way communications – within the village and with wider stakeholders.

In summary, the main achievements of the Charity between 1[st] July 2024 and 30[th] June 2025 were:

The Centre continued to be a thriving and highly popular community hub for Hurstbourne Tarrant and surrounding villages.
The centre continues to fulfil an important ‘hub’ for the local community with social and information sharing events throughout the year.
Community events have included a monthly Swifts group meeting – a social coffee and cake get together to which everyone in the local villages are welcome to attend. Swifts regularly attracts in the order of forty attendees. In addition we hold an annual Ploughman’s Lunch and Harvest Festival meal in association with St Peter’s Church.
The centre plays an important role in our annual village show, HbT5 cross country run event, markets and school activities.
Other community events have included a weekly table tennis evening, monthly astronomy group and use by local businesses and organisations for meetings.
In addition to weddings, christenings, wakes, private parties we have a busy programme of health and fitness sessions, including yoga and pilates, with the recent addition of a weekly Zumba class.
Wellbeing events have included a FarmWell meeting for members of the local agricultural community and occasional ‘Gong Bath’ sessions.
User feedback is that the quality of the building and the facilities at the Centre, the ease of booking, and our associated customer services are rated as excellent. The location of the Centre, alongside the village playing field, is particularly valued by users.
The planned maintenance schedule continued throughout the year to ensure that the high quality of the building and its facilities were maintained.
Much of the maintenance work is conducted by volunteers, helping to keep running costs to a minimum.
Use of the Hallmaster online booking system continued to provide an affective ‘selfservice’ facility for customers making enquiries and bookings and helps maintain management oversight.
A self-employed part-time ‘Bookings Manager’ continues to ensure a high quality service to customers.
We maintain a cohort of loyal community centre volunteers who assist with bookings and maintenance.

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/directors/ Hurstbourne Tarrant Community Centre members of On accounts for the year Charity no 1156307 ended[30 Jun 2025 ] (if any): Set out on pages 1 Responsibilities and I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the basis of report Company for the year ended 30/06/2024.

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your 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 I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: • accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or

the accounts do not accord with such records; or

• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

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.
