The Board of Trustees wesent their reporL together with the accounts of the charity
for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Structure, governance and management
The Globe Community Library (The Globe) was registered on 6 February 2017 as a
Charitable Incorporated Organisation consthuted under a goveming document dated
23 January 2017. The charty is managed by a Board of Trustees
under the
Constitution there should be not less than 5 and rK>t more than 11 appointed trustees.
Every trustee is appointed for a term of 3 years. The trustees who have served during
the year were:
Peter Chandler
Bryn Grrffths
Robert E Roberts (Chaimian)
Roy Martin
Carolyn Kitd)irvJ (from 5 July 2020)
David Heggarty
Fiona M Part(in
Andrew Wake
The library operates under a contract with North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC).
The Library Manager arKI her rel￿f are funded and employed by Stokesley Town
Council - though the charty manages their day-t¢>day work Trustees continue to
Value support given by the Tthvn Council. A North Yorkshire County Council {NYCC)
library employee provides 15 hours work time to support the manager.
Charlty Objective
The objects of the charty are io:
Prowde fa￿lItIeS for the educatKJn arKI soaal of the public by the prow&on of a
library and infonnation hub for the benefft of residents of Stokesley and North
Yorkshire-wide and for faolitating communty activfy.
In planning activrties for the reporting period, trustees kept in mind the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefrt.

Keeping in Touch
Library services and activities are communicated lo the community through the local
press, via posters in local venues and businesses, on social media and on our
website
the latter provides details of library services, events. news and
recommended reading.
The website also gives details of trM)w the tharity can be supported by individuals and
businesses. Trustees va￿e the supw>rt given by Frie￿IS of The Globe and business
sponsors.
Activitles
Govemment covid lockdo￿ requirements imposed in Marth 2020 arKI subsequent
staged easirYJ of restrictions severely limited the Servi￿ operation of the library.
Despite this, throughout the lockdovm the Library Manager and a small team of
volunteers were able to provide a litKary service. in the early period of restrictions the
seprfice was limited to a 'click and collect, scheme until, as restrictions were eased,
customers gaIr￿ limited access to the bookshalves. Throughout, a copying service
Y￿S provided and. as restrith'ons eased. public access to computers was made
available. Moreover. the 'home library service, continued where it was safe to make
deliveries. Trustees record their thanks to the dedicated team for providing the limited
service durirg locJ(down.
Unsurprisingly, community events and activrties were suspended and at the close of
the reporting period had not been reinstated be(xuse social mixing restrictions were
still in pla￿. Trustees are eager to reopen community activrties as soon as
restrictions are lifted and it is safe to do so.

Financial review
Inevitably, income of from library operations was significantly lower than in non-covid
years - £3,555 in 2020r21 against £32.541 the previous year. Most signrficanl were
loss of income from library charges (carr£lled by NYCC as ￿1p to library users - that
income normally bein9 assigned to The Globe), dOnatI￿S. fvndraising, and room hire
- for these the reduction in income was £15,160 compared to the previous year. On
the other hand, expenditure of £3,720 was £9,118 lower than in the previous year.
Loss of income overall was offset by red￿ed expenditure leading to
receiptslpayments loss of just £165 for the year.
At 31 March 2021:
8. The surplus on unrestricted funds was £45,423 (2020.. £46,013) and is
dailable to expend on activrties that fvrther the charitable purposes of The
Globe.
b. There was a surplus on deS￿nated furKls of £707 (2020: £282), Unrestr￿ad
funds are those that the trustees have set aside for a particular purpose.
c. The charity held restrict8d funds of £12,245 (same in previous year), funds
which the doncrs have speCff￿ are to be used solely for a particular
projects undertaken by the charity.
Th8 effect of lockdown on The Globe's finances has been a significant loss of income
that cannot be recovered. However. trustees are content that unrestricted funds
remain sufficient to allcw library operations to continue in FY21122. That said.
trustees are well aware of the priority is to utilise the charws signrficant funds as
plans are developed to restart and expand community actNty when pandemic
restrictions permit.

Looking Ahead
The targets set for this reporting year were rK>t achieved as covid restrictions
prevented community gatherings in the Library. Given continuing restrictions trustees
are unable to set targets for FY 21r22, other than to reinstate full library and
community activities as soon as may safely be reintroduce￿8￿1&1￿.
In anticipation of retuming nonnality, trustees will consider how to further extend
community awareness and engagwnent.

THE GLOBE COMMUNITY LIBRARY
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE GLOBE COMMUNITY LIBRARY
I report on the accounls of The Globe Community Library for the year ended 31 March 2021
which are set out on pages 5 and 6 of the Annual Report
Re8PèCtlv• rnsponsiblllties of trustees and examlner
The charity's trustees are responsibl8 for the preparation of the accounts. Th8 charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under s8Ction 144 of the Charities Act 2011
(the Charities Act) and that an independent examinalion is needed.
It is my r6sponsibility to-
examine the accounts under section 145 of th8 Charities Act
follow the procedures laid down in the general Diredions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 14515Mb) of the Charilies Act, and
stat8 whether parlicular matters have come lo my attention.
Basis of independent examlner's statement
My examination was Carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by th8 charlty
and a comparison of the accounts presented wth those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosur8s in the a¢¢ountS, and seeking explanations from the trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do nol provide all the evidence Ihat
would b8 réquired in an audit. and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accoLJnts
present a 'lrue and fair. view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examlnerf8 Statement
In ¢onn8Ction with my examination. material matters have come to my attention which give
me cause to believe that in. any material respect:
accounting records were nol kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or
the a¢¢ounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection wth the examination to which attentlon
should b8 drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
