Annual Report for the year ending 31 March 2025
Objectives
Jordans Village Hall Trust was entered on the Register of Charities on 18 July 2016 by
the Charity Commission for England and Wales as a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation. The Trust is governed by its Constitution dated 8 July 2016, under which
its objectives are:
"to provide, manage and maintain a village hall and a550ciated facilities for the benefit
of the residents of the village of Jordans and its neighbourhood and community
without discrimination and without distinction between political, religious or other
opinions"
The Trust was set up to undertake the renovation or rebuilding of Jordans Vlllage Hall,
including the detailed planning, consultation with the residents of Jordans, and
fundraising. At present the village hall is owned and managed by Jordans Villa8e
Limited, and it is intended that the Trust will enter into a long term lease for the village
hall site when renovation or rebuilding commences, and that it will be responsible for
the management and operation of the village hall for a period of time thereafter.
Trustees
The Trust can have a maximum of twelve trustees, nine of whom are elected by the
Members of the Trust at a General Meeting and not more than three of whom are
appointed by Jordans Village Limited. The Trustees who served during the year under
review are detailed above.
The Trustees hold meetings as necessary. All decislons are made by the Trustees in
these meetings.
Rlsk management
The Trust has reviewed its financlal controls in order to provide reasonable assurance
against fraud and error. In the context of increased fundraising and expenditure in the
future, the Trustees wlll maintain close monitoring of these activities and will
implement additional financial controls if deemed appropriate. It will review other
areas of risk as its work progresses.
Actlvltles
Following an electronic vote by residents in favour of the proposed project, a major
fundraisin8 event (the "Spring Soiree" dinner dance) was held with great success,
raising not only awareness but a valuable contribution to our funds. Plans are being
laid for further events during the coming year.
A fundraising sub-committee was established and potential sources of funding have
been identified and will be pursued once planning consents have been achieved and
the future lease has been agreed.
The Trustees have been working closely with the appointed architects and other
consultants and the proposed design and specifications for the new hall have been
fine-tuned with a view to applying for planning permission, which should be feasible
within the coming months.

The Trustees believe that they have complied with the Charity Commission's
requirement on the provision of public benefit during these activities.
Flnancial revlew
During this financial year the Trust received donations of nearly £74,000 and raised
almost £17,000 from the "Spring Soiree" and incurred expenses of £12,500, with cash
resenies of over £112,000 at the year-end.
The Trust holds current and deposit accounts with HSBC, and during the year a new
savings account was opened with Buckinghamshire Building Society, with £20,000
being deposited into an interest-bearin8 120 day notice account. Significant outlay in
professional fees is anticipated during the coming months but the Trustees consider
that these reserves should be sufficient for the expenses of the Trust until the main
fundraising programme starts.
Future developments
Over the coming year the Trust will be working with Jordans Village Limited to
conclude an a8reement for the lease of the new villa8e hall and to obtain planning
consent from them and also to submit our planning application to Buckinghamshire
Council. These approvals will enable us to commence a number of grant applications
and wlll give impetus to our fundraisin8 campaign.
