## **Chairmans Report**
This year has been a great year, with the Trust recovering well from the previous year’s trials and tribulations, imposed on us by the Nationwide Covid restrictions, something hopefully well and truly behind us now.
Across the year we have had great success renting out the hall for various parties/events and continue to secure various clubs and activity providers that offer great benefits to the community as a whole, whilst further helping generate income for the trust through rental fees. Post Covid we were concerned re the loss of a number of activity providers who, unfortunately, had not managed to service the lockdown, but have managed to secure new providers over the past year.
The combination of hall hire and the income generated from our ever changing food vendors, some coming and going with others establishing themselves and are now a staple of the Flitch Green community.
Since refurbishing the band stand we have had no real issues, with it being more of less vandal proof, so have incurred no further costs. Having previous assessed the boiler system in the hall, we have taken the decision to start to replace what was originally installed as this was massively over spec’d. The new installation will be easier to maintain and will offer reduced running costs, especially given the increase in energy prices over the past year. We have also replaced all outdated lighting with LED’s, both within the hall and externally.
Across the year we continue to experience vandalism incidents, which is a cost that as a trust is frustrating and something that we try and manage and repair or replace with something more vandal proof.
Post Covid, with winter heating bills increasing for everyone, we set up a heat hub within the hall, which we ran once a week offering free tea/coffee, cake and a chance for residents to spend a few hours meeting up with others in a warm environment. Due to the underfloor heating system we have to run the heat constantly throughout the winter, so thought we may as well use it for the good of everyone. As the heat hub was so popular we decided to continue with it, renaming it ‘Flitch Bean Fridays’ and it runs to this day, for 2 hrs every Friday, with a team of local resident volunteers running the operation in conjunction with the trust.
Having previously replaced all of the fire doors, with more secure aluminium doors, we are now in process of replacing the main entrance door, which was of poor quality and caused constant issues for hall hirers.
On a closing note, I would like to thank Mick Bott, the previous Chairman and driving force behind the set-up of the original Trust, who has this year stepped away from the Trust for personal reasons. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the trustees for all their hard work over the year, with our various talents we make a great team, but are constantly on the lookout for new trustees to help keep up the great work that is being done.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS / TRUSTEES OF THE FLITCH GREEN CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION for the year ending 31[st] May 2023**
I report on the receipts and payments accounts for the year ending 31[st] May 2023.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner**
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention;
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes the review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by a full audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act; or
- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records to enable proper understanding of the account;
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
