Glamis Hall For All Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution dated 3 February 2015, and is established as a charitable incorporated organisation.

Appointment of trustees

As set out in the constitution, the number of trustees shall be not less than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) no more than ten. The Board of Trustees has the power to appoint additional trustees according to the rules set out in the constitution. The Chair of Trustees is nominated by the Board of Trustees.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees undergo an orientation to brief them on their obligations under charity law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, content of the constitution, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Organisation structure

The charity has a Board of Trustees who are appointed from the charity’s volunteer body. Trustees are sought from a wide range of social backgrounds and experiences.

The Board of Trustees meets at least four times a year. They appoint a Centre Manager and Care Manager who are directly accountable to them and who are responsible for the day to day management of the two core sections of the charity's activities: building management which includes hires and clubs, and the day care centre. Trustees are updated on major activities and important issues at meetings and are involved in specific projects to develop the work of the charity.

Trustees are responsible for agreeing the strategies of the charity, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and governing documents, agreeing policies, setting financial budgets and ensuring compliance with financial and operational targets.

Organisation structure - continued

The views and opinions of the staff and volunteers are sought and appreciated by the trustees on all matters regarding the charity's activities, policies and strategies in accordance with the objects of the charity. The trustees are very grateful for all the support and hard work of all members of staff and volunteers, without which the charity would not continue to flourish.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

DONATIONS

Donations totalling £17,226 were received during the year, including the following which individually amounted to £1,000 or over:

£2,000 from J Mason in memory of Shirley Mason.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The charity has insurance cover for legal liabilities associated with its operations and events including Public, Employee and Trustees' Liability Insurance. The charity recognises that is has a legal and moral duty to minimise personal risks to its members, staff, volunteers and the public.

Risk management is a standing item at Governance meetings and a risk register is maintained by trustees. Each risk on the register is reviewed at least annually. Among the items on this register are falling numbers of volunteers and trustees.

The trustees are mindful that the majority of people involved in the work of the charity are volunteers. The activities of the charity could not continue without the support of a sufficient number of volunteers and paid staff, and volunteers are sought from the wider community. Should the number of trustees fall below the constitutional minimum of three, the remaining trustees would adopt the dissolution policy as required by the constitution. The building and its grounds would be handed back to the North Northamptonshire Council and any residual funds donated to charities supporting elderly people to be determined by the trustees remaining at the time.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The charity plans to:

RESERVES POLICY

The General fund represents the free reserves of the charity arising from past operating results. The Board of Trustees have examined the requirement to maintain free reserves and have approved a policy that requires them to maintain reserves represented by net current assets of six months’ expenditure. The free reserves as stated in these accounts, representing unrestricted funds less the designated funds, stood at £670,225 (2024 - £451,320) but these include amounts set against capital expenditure that cannot be accessed, and so the Trustees continue to work towards an actual reserve of six months’ running costs which, based on these accounts, is £205,237. The trustees meet regularly to monitor and review the policy.
