Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 September 2021 to 28 February 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 September 2021 to 28 February 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the charity, which is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), are in summary to provide a parish hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Warcop with specific reference to recreation and social welfare and in accordance with equality, available to all.
The main charitable purposes of the charity are:
Education/training, Religious Activities, Arts/culture/heritage/science - such as the annual Art & Craft Exhibition, monthly Remote Cinema and weekly art class. Amateur Sport, Recreation, Other Charitable Purposes, such as supporting the Great North Air Ambulance charity with bi-annual bag collections at the hall.

Report of the Trustees for the Period 1 September 2021 to 28 February 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The Charity's governance is based is conducted by the board and sub- committees of Finance & Development, Premises and Events (the latter being made up of a combination of trustees and volunteers.)
The regular weekly hire of the hall for Taekwondo, Table Tennis, Art, Remote Cinema etc plus Coffee Mornings, Soup & Pud lunches have continued to provide a variety of arts and sports activities for local residents plus essential service such as The Post Office and butchers van.
The major development this year has been the appointment of Kilvington Solicitor to progress the merger of The Warcop Village Hall charity with Warcop Parish Hall charity. This was completed in December 2022. Due to the timing of this legal process, the Trustees felt it was prudent to extend the Financial Accounting period with the Charity Commission to allow the completion of the merger with the accounting period. Consequently these accounts cover an 18 month period.
Finance & Development
This committee has reviewed several of the Charity's polices and also, due to this years increased costs of living and high fuel costs, have reviewed the hire costs. The reserves policy states we should retain reserves equivalent to twelve month's operating costs, currently £16,000.
This committee is also researching a computerised booking system to streamline the hall bookings and invoicing process.
Premises
This committee focuses on Health & Safety policy and the ongoing maintenance and development of the site and building. Improvements are put in place using feedback from users and in line with up to date technology e.g.
-
The store room extension has been completed.
-
An annual maintenance programme is in place to enable minor works to proceed quickly.
-
purchase of staging, in conjunction with Warcop Primary School,
Events
The Events group has continued to successfully organise events both to provide social activities and to also raise funds to support the Hall's running costs. The events include Remote Cinema, Quiz Night and ghost walk and, post covid, to restart the annual Arts & crafts weekend.
In response to the cost of living crisis and the huge increase in energy costs, from October 2022 until April 2023 we hosted a weekly Warm Space so that local people could use the hall and get basic refreshments without having to heat their own homes.
FUTURE PLANS
We are currently working with B4RN and allowing them to site a cabinet in our car park so as to allow the community to be able to access superfast broadband.
We are also investigating the installation of solar panels and electric charging points.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Warcop Parish Hall CIO
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Warcop Parish Hall CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Warcop Parish Hall CIO (the Trust) for the period 1 September 2021 to 28 February 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
