Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 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
To further or benefit the residents of Ivinghoe and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilites in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activites promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
Significant activities
General charitable purposes Education/training Economic/community development/employment Recreation
Public benefit
The activities that we carry out are described above. These activities are undertaken to meet our objectives and aims and to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. In setting and reviewing our objectives and aims, and in planning and carrying out our activities, we have due regard for the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
We have secured the Daisy Chain Café which is now operational 7 days a week and at least on evening per month. This provides The Hub with a steady income stream. In addition, the café caters private functions for local people which results in the Community Hall being hired and used regularly. The Hub and café, on several occasions have come together to host fund raising events for both The Hub and for the local community.
The local Food Bank is now located within the building, having its own dedicated locked room. The Food Bank is not charged any rent.
Rentals of the Community Hall have increased but this still. Has to be worked upon
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The bank account looks healthy, though the Trustees are aware that there is a loan outstanding but the agreement is that it can be paid as and when,
Principal funding sources
At present this is from the café’s rental of the space, the Bike Rental space hire and from the rental of the Community Hall. Increased funding will be possible in time thanks to a new potential rental contract.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ivinghoe Old School Community Hub
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ivinghoe Old School Community Hub
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ivinghoe Old School Community Hub (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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
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.

1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements

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.
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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from 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.
