**BERRYNARBOR MANOR HALL TRUST**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
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 2022. 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 objective of the charity is to maintain and present in good order the Berrynarbor Manor Hall for use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Berrynarbor. Without distinction of political, religious or other opinions including use for meetings, entertainments, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
## **Public benefit**
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
Covid has continued to negatively impact the ability of the Trust to support the local community in the way it would have wished but due to the receipt of the government grants there has been little impact from a financial point of view.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
In common with every other organisation the COVID pandemic has continued to have an impact on the normal running of the Berrynarbor Manor Hall during the year.
As regards the financial impact of COVID, the trust has continued to be fortunate as its regular rental from the School / Preschool / Mens Institute has been maintained and this year the ability to generate income from fundraising has resumed. The government support grants have also enabled it to maintain sufficient reserves to meet current and future spending commitments.
Trustees' expenses reimbursed by the charity have been higher in the year due to the use of personal cards for charitable expenditure. The charity has historically made use of the limited cheque account facilities which resulted in payments being more difficult to process during the pandemic. Changes have subsequently been introduced on the account to enable BACS payments through the bank account rather than the reimbursement of trustees' card expenses.
## **Reserves policy**
The accumulated reserves must be applied solely towards the promotion of the objectives and aims of the charity.
## **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.

**BERRYNARBOR MANOR HALL TRUST**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
It registered as a Community Interest Organisation (CIO) on 8 September 2016.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
Every charity trustee must be a natural person. A trustee cannot be appointed if they are under the age of 16 years. At least one of the trustees of the CIO must be 18 years of age or over. If there is no trustee aged at least 18 years, the remaining trustees may only act to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.
There should not be more that 5 elected trustees, 5 appointed trustees and 3 co-opted trustees. No trustee appointment may be made in excess of this provision.
Apart from the first charity trustees, every elected trustee must be appointed for a term of 2 years at an annual general meeting. At the first annual general meeting the 4 first charity trustees must retire from office but can stand for re-election.
Berrynarbor Parish Council, Berrynarbor Parochial Church Council, Berrynarbor Pre-School, Berrynarbor Men's Institute and Berrynarbor Primary School (constituted as the West Berry Federation), known as the appointing bodies, may each appoint one trustee. The person appointed by the appointing bodies do not need to be a member of the appointing body.
The charity trustees may appoint no more than 3 co-opted trustees to undertake a particular task or who bring a particular skill to the charity trustees. When making such an appointment the charity trustees must record in the minutes the reason for the appointment. Any person appointed will cease to be a trustee at the commencement of the next annual general meeting.
There must be at least 3 charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.
## **Decision making**
Any decision can be made either at a meeting of the charity trustees or by resolution in writing or electronic form agreed by all of the charity trustees.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
The charity will provide to each new trustee on or before their appointment a copy of the current version of the constitution and a copy of the CIO's latest Trustees' annual report and statement of accounts.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BERRYNARBOR MANOR HALL TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Berrynarbor Manor Hall Trust ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **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').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. 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
3. 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
4. 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)).
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.
