HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Governing Document

Hanslope Village Hall was built in the middle of the nineteenth century. Originally a village school it became the Property of St James the Great Church Sunday School Charity and was used as a Parish Hall. The conveyance document being dated 3rd December 1935. The Diocesan Trustees (Oxford) became Custodians of the property on 14th November 1977. The property was held on a forty year lease under a trust deed dated 12 June 1979 (and amended in 1983 and 1996) as a public charitable trust named Hanslope Village Hall Charity Registration Number 281981. In 1979 an extension to the Large Hall was added and a new toilet block. The Hanslope Village Hall CIO Charity Registration Number 1165557 took over full responsibility for the lease and all assets, creditors and Debtors of the 1979 Hanslope Village Hall Charity on 1st April 2016. A new 40 year Lease was successfully negotiated between the Diocesan Trustees (Oxford) and the Hanslope Village Hall CIO Charity Registration Number 1165557 and signed on 3rd April 2020. An extension store was added in 2021 funded by Section 106 money from MK Council.

Objects of the Charity

Hanslope Village Hall shall be held on trust as a Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Hanslope without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions including use for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

Summary of the Main Activities in relation to these Objects

Hanslope Village Hall is available for hire by village organisations and individuals at preferential rates over those offered to non-residents of the Parish and other organisations. Regular activities include a pre¬school, various sports group activities, Women's Institute meetings, a drama group who stage shows in the Hall, a theatre dance group, Line Dancing. The Hall is regularly hired for children's parties and adult celebrations of one sort or another. Regular events are held to raise funds for the Village Hall activities.

HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Board of Trustee selection

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.

Chairman's Report (next page)

Chairman’s Report

The Board of Trustees met on six occasions during the year. The executive committee which comprises the chair, vice chair, the secretary, treasurer and manager met on seven occasions.

2023-2024 was a busy and successful year for Hanslope Village Hall. The hall is being well used by our regular hirers. Occasional private hires have increased in number, taking place mostly at the weekends. Hallmaster, the on-line booking system, is working extremely well and we think has helped increase the number of our occasional bookings. We were able to maintain our Hire Charges at the same level for a further year. Gillian Glanville, our Hall Manager, has streamlined many of our operating systems and we are grateful to her for her hard work during the year. A key safe has been installed on the outside wall making it easier for occasional hirers to obtain and return the access door keys. Mac Millington has taken on the roll of vice-chair and during the year updated and expanded all our Policies and Procedures documents. Village Hall documents and records are stored in the Cloud and this year we switched from OneDrive to Dropbox for this storage. Chantel Coxhill, our contract cleaner has worked wonders in the Hall and there has been a huge improvement in cleanliness. A new industrial vacuum was purchased during the year.

The fundraising team ably led by Jenni Alliss and Mat Irvine ran a very successful series of fundraising events during the year. Events have included three Hamex events including SmallSpace. Other fundraisers have included a Tabletop sale, the Horticultural Show, two Craft Fairs and a café at the village’s Scarecrow event. The team were supported by a number of loyal volunteers whose involvement with the charity is greatly appreciated. A volunteer’s “thank you” lunch was held in the summer.

A comprehensive sound system has been installed in both Halls and during the year we built an audio-visual cupboard in the large hall to operate both the sound system and the theme lighting. This required some rerouting of a lot of lighting cables but has made it much easier for both the lights and sound system to be operated by hirers. As acknowledged in last year’s report the Feoffee Charity gave a grant of £3528 towards this project.

A CCTV system of cameras and video recorder has been installed and has greatly improved our security and enabled a reduction in our annual insurance costs. It can be accessed remotely via the internet by the manager. As mentioned in last year’s report we received a grant of £1000 from Thames Valley Police to fund this project.

HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

During the year the Gas Main supplying the village hall had to be renewed and we took the opportunity to also relocate the gas meter to a more appropriate position on the wall of the small hall. By removing a partition wall between the chair store and pre-school’s store we were able to reorganise the chair store, so it works in a more efficient way.

Jenni Allis and Mac Millington have kept the car parks tidy and well stocked with plants. Raised bumpers to prevent vehicles hitting the fence or running over the planted area have been installed.

I wish to record my grateful thanks to all of my fellow Trustees who have worked diligently and very hard during the year to keep our Village Hall operational and popular.

HANSLOPE VILLAGE HALL CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO) CHARITY NUMBER 1165557 NOTES - 2023-2024

(Forming part of the Financial Statements)

1 Accounting Policies

The principle accounting policies of the Charity 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)

Katharine has signed off our a¢¢ounts and I have collected them. Could we try and remedy the error p)inted out in Katharine's email please? She said.. The loss for the year per the report 15 £6,698. but Xero is shownE a loss of £6,245, so £453 dtfferent. This also means that your net assets are also different by the same amount. It's not material and so I'm happy to sign off, but it would be useful to understand why there is a difference. If tt helps, I think it might be in the Hall hiring income line. Have you got a reconciliation of the balance at the end of the year in prepayments, debtor5, accruals and the creditor accounts? Just an excel file showing what makes up the balances at the year end would be great. If we can correct this on the xcounts I'll send the signed ver5K)n to the Charity Commission. Thanks

I have now spent some timing reviewing the report alongside the bank account statements and the transactions etc on Xero. All looks to be in order, so I'm happy to sign the report. There are a couple of thlngs you could maybe help me wlth though which cropped up: The loss for the year per the report is £6,698, but Xero is showing a loss of £6,245. $0 £453 different. Thls also means that your net a55ets are 3150 different by the same amount. It's not materi31 and so I'm happy to sign off, but it would be useful to understand why there is a differen￿. If it helps, I think it might be irh the Hall hiring income line. Have you got a recondllation of the balan￿ at the end of the year in prepayrnents. debtors. accruals and the credltor accounts? Just an ex￿1 file show4ng what makes up the balan￿ at the year end would be great. I've signed the report and will drop it off at your5 John. Could you just remind me of your house number please as I can never remember which one it isl Thanks Katharine Best Wshes Lorraine Bone Treasurer Best Wishes Lorraine Bone Treasurer
