Board of Trustees selection 



## **HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

Apart from the first charity trustees, every appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.  In selecting individuals for appointment as appointed charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. Each user group may nominate a Representative User and the Representative Users together will appoint one nominated trustee to serve for three years. 

## Reserves Policy 

A reserve of £4,000 is held within the General Fund to cover fluctuations in income receipts and expenses payments and emergency expenses such as urgent repairs. 

A reserve is held to satisfy the condition of the lease to return the hall to the Parochial Church Council in "good and substantial repair" at the end of the term.  This reserve currently stands at £6388, which is held in COIF Chaity Funds. 

## Chairman's Report 

_(see next page)_ 



**HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The year 2020-2021 has been a unique year for us all because of the Coronovirus Pandemic and this has had a major impact on Hanslope Village Hall as indeed it has had on all of us.  The year started with the Village Hall completely closed in the first lockdown.  The Board of Trustees introduced significant Covid Security measures to the Hall which enabled preschool to return, using just the large hall with restricted numbers. In October a few more groups returned to a limited use of the large Hall. The Hall closed again in January 2021 with the second lockdown to all groups except for preschool who were able to continue in the large hall.  This situation continued until the end of the financial year.  We are grateful for the help we received in our planning for the pandemic from ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) and Community Impact Bucks. 

The Pandemic has had a major impact on our income and put our very survival at risk.  Our income from regular hirings dropped considerably and we lost most of our income from occasional hires such as children’s parties, wedding receptions and other events.  The Pantomime, Vegan Fayres, Horticultural Show and Fashion Show were all cancelled significantly reducing our income.  Many of our overheads however continued to require payment.  The Hall Manager was put on furlough for the periods of lockdown, and we reduced the hours of our cleaning contractor.  We applied for and received several government pandemic business grants and the Parish Council gave us a £4000 grant. Because of these grants and a small cash reserve we had in the Bank we have been able to survive so far and are secure moving forwards.  Many of our regular user groups have now not held meetings in the Village Hall for a year! 

On a more positive note we have received a £48,500.00 Section 106 Grant from Milton Keynes Council to enable us to build a store extension at the back of the Hall. Section 106 money comes from the builders of the new developments in Hanslope. When the Hall is fully operational there is a desperate shortage of storage space for regular organisations' equipment. The new building will solve this problem.  We are grateful to Robert Beesley for giving us a small piece of land for this development. Building work will commence in July 2021.  Once the building is finished we plan a grand opening ceremony. 

Andy Grout, our previous Chairman, resigned as a Trustee in May 2020 as he was moving out of the village.  We are enormously grateful for Andy’s leadership over many years.  Gavin Ruse retired as a Trustee in May 2020 after a long stint both as Hall Manager and more recently as a Trustee.  Sarah Pollitt resigned in July 2020 because she was leaving the village.  A heartfelt “thank you” to all of them. 

We welcomed Gillian Glanville and Duncan Carter in July 2020 and Andrea Kingston, Win Parry and Mac Millington in January 2021 as new Trustees.  The success of the Village Hall is dependant on an active and vibrant Board of Trustees (all volunteers) and I am most grateful to the support of all of the Trustees  as we move forwards out of the pandemic.

In a “normal year” our fundraising events depend heavily on our group of volunteers who help in many different ways.  We would like to increase our pool of volunteers and would be grateful for anyone interested in giving some of their time to helping us at fundraising events, advertising, with a bit of gardening or in many other ways. Contact: 

jenni@hanslopevillagehall.co.uk 

Hanslope Village Hall is there for the community of Hanslope.  Its survival depends on it being regularly used and I urge every villager to support our endeavours as we struggle to come out of this dreadful pandemic.  If you are thinking of a weekend celebration, a child’s birthday party or a family get together “think local” and see if our Hall fits the bill for your event.  You can find full details of all of our activities on our website which is magnificently managed by Mat Irvine, a Trustee: www.hanslopevillagehall.co.uk . 

Thank you to one and all who support us. 

Dr John Sorrell Chairman 20th July 2021

## **HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL TRUST CHARITY NUMBER 281981 NOTES - 2019-2020** 

## **(Forming part of the Financial Statements)** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

The principle accounting policies of the Trust are set out below: 

## Basis of Preparation 

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards, Accounting and Reporting by Charities - Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005), and the Charities Act 2011, under the accruals and going concern basis. 

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historic cost (except that investments are shown at market value). 

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year, and no changes have been made to Financial Statements for previous years. 

## Incoming Resources 

Incoming Resources are included in the Financial Statements when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the Financial Statements. 

Grants and donations are only included in the Financial Statements when the charity has unconditional entitlement to them.  Tax reclaims are included at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

The value of voluntary help received is not included but is described in the annual report. 

Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable. 

Investment Gains / (Losses) includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

## Expenditure and Liabilities 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. 

## Grants and Donations 

Building improvements funded directly by grants paid to contractors are included as income and expenditure within the Financial Statements. 

Other grants and donations are included within the Financial Statements as income once they have been received and there are no conditions to be met relating to them which remain in the control of the charity. 

## Fixed Assets and Depreciation 

Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. 

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. 

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value (and grants where appropriate) of tangible fixed assets by instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows: 

Building and Improvements 10% per annum on original known cost 



## **HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL TRUST CHARITY NUMBER 281981 NOTES - 2019-2020**
