SSQ Hall Committee Limited (Registered number: 08940331)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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
Objectives and aims
The charity's objects are:
To provide and maintain a Parish Hall for the use of the inhabitants of Lower and Upper Stanton St Quintin Wiltshire and their environs without distinction of political, religious or other opinions to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreational and leisure time activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
It all seems so long ago now that at the end of March 2020, the Country and the Parish Hall went into COVID-19 Lockdown. All activities were stopped: and when they resumed, they did so under tight restraints and several layers of guidance. However, together with the restrictions came some financial support via Wiltshire Council from central Government. We were able to benefit from these as we are a registered limited company. Some of this funding was used to pay back parts of the two loans still outstanding.
We also took the opportunity to look at the services the Hall can provide and decided to invest in some Table Tennis Equipment. This would happen at the end of the financial year, to enable us to bring it in when COVID Restrictions permitted. We also placed a new Notice Board at the road boundary. These were funded in part through a grant from the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) which is administered for Hills by Community First, the Rural Community Council for Wiltshire.
The works were carried out with the aim of "Bringing the Parish Hall back to the centre of the community". This sits within our Vision to provide a multi-functional, comfortable, warm and inviting space for use by community groups and for social and pastoral events.
Although actual activities at the hall ground to a halt, we continued to organise the monthly 200 Club draw. This maintains an involvement of people from within and without the village and keeps our name in mind for when activities can resume.
So, if last year was a "Business as Usual" year; this year was a "Stop Start" year overshadowed in everything by COVID-19. It is a credit to the Committee that this problem created the opportunity to improve the funding for the Hall and improve the facilities on offer.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
At 31 March 2021 the charity had total reserves of £94,860 of which £88,826 is held as fixed assets. Free reserves are £6,034. The charity received grants of £20,532 and made a surplus of £16,668.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have agreed a reserves policy to retain unrestricted reserves of 18 months of support costs in line with good practice and following the requirements of the Charities Commission. This is reviewed regularly.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The committee will advertise for further Trustees from the local community for whose use the Hall has been used. We are actively seeking support from the local community via our social networks and one to one contacts to recruit new committee members and trustees. We have a Parish Council member on our committee who likewise, is seeking to recruit members.
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.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors 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').

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under the charities SORP (FRS 102) Update Bulletin 1 issued on 2 February 2016, as the charity constitutes a small charity.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donated goods, services and facilities are included in the SOFA at a reasonable estimate of their gross value to the charity. Assets given for use by the charity are recognised as incoming resources and within the relevant fixed asset category of the balance sheet when receivable. Where the cost involved in undertaking a valuation of the gross value to the charity is not justified disclosure is made in the notes to the financial statements.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Equipment
- 33% on straight line basis
Leasehold property improvements - over 35 years
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

During the year ended 31 March 2017, a plot of land next to the existing car park of the Parish Hall was donated to the charity to allow the car park to be extended. A valuation of the land has not been undertaken as the charity can not justify the cost involved. The charity accrued legal fees of £1,000 in relation to transferring the title deeds of the land to the charity and hence this amount has been capitalised.
