DALECOTE HOUSE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Achievement and Progress towards charitable objectives
The last year has seen an increase in activity following the previous yearfs gradual reopening of the
building after the Covid pandemic. We note that caution remains, particularly amongst the older
members of society, to meet in large numbers or in close proximity to each other. We do note,
however, that the continued improvement in the buildings appearance and visual impression are
alleviating this markedly. Increased utility prices for heating the building remain a cause for concern
for the Trustees and it is encouraging that prices appear to have stabilised. The Trustees have
maintained an approach that the utility costs be fixed wherever possible to allow more rational
forecasting and budgeting. At the beginning of the financial year the previous lessee of the majority
of the building chose not to renew the lease. The operational control and management of the
building reverted to Dalecote House Ltd. During the year there has been a focus on building and
maintaining revenue sources from hire of the building, encouraging use of the bar and dining
facilities, and exploiting opportunities for renting the car park during work hours. This objective
continues to be a major focus of activity. The other leaseholder of small parts of the building,
Heritage 165 Ltd, has chosen to renew their lease for another five years which guarantees a modest
revenue stream going forward.
Objective l)
The library and museum for Freemasonry in Coventry contains items that are pertinent to Coventry
and its wider area from the former Warwick5hire Provincial Museum and Library. During the year a
substantial part of the library and museum was moved to a downstairs room, with artefacts now
contained in display cabinets. With easier access this has proven very enlightening to both masonic
and non-mason visitors of the cultural heritage of the building and Coventry and surrounding area5.
To promote the museum and library, and the house itself, Heritage Open Days in September 2024
proved successful with more visitors than the previous year. This was helped with the introduction
of a website providing updated information on the background and information on Freemasonry in
Coventry. Development of the website will be continued during 2024/25 to aid visibility of the
Charity.
A goal still exists to increase the amount of documentation about the collection and make this
information more widely available via, for example, social media channels, eg X (formerly Twitter) or
Facebook.
Objective 2)
The Charity makes the premises available to various local charities and to the ancient Guilds of the
City for meetings and furtherance of their various events. Fundraising events particularly for the
annual pantomime for disabled and disadvantaged children, run by the Freemasons, have continued
and a very successful event was held in June 2024 which raised over £40￿ for this cause.

DALECOTE HOUSE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Financial Review
Dalecote House Ltd (the Charity) leases the premises 'Dalecote House, on a long lease from Coventry
Masonic Hall Ltd. One of the Charity's main income streams is from sub-leasing parts of the
premises and managing use of the rooms for events and social functions.
Total incoming resources for the year under review amounted to £93,4671£77,877'. 20231 including
donations of £36.900. After deducting trading expenditure of £70,1681£64,222: 2023), the charity
report a financial gain of £23,299 { £13,655:_ 20231.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees currently maintain a policy of holding at least one yearfs running costs in reserve. This
is seen as a sensible move bearing in mind business interruptions post COVID which are only now
beginning to abate. There is still a reluctance for large meetings and gatherings especially with the
older members of the community, also. the uncertainties with future utility costs still exists and a
cause for careful consideration within the overall cost structure of the business. The Trustees review
the reserves policy every six months to ensure it's appropriateness.
Role of Volunteers
All Trustees undertake their work voluntarily.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commissions general
guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitws aims and objectives and in planning future
activities.
Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities

lawl are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the Accounts in accordance with

application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024 which are set out on pages
6tol4.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees {and those who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company
lawl are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144{21 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
Follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 14515){b) of the 2011 Act
State whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of 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 you as Trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit. However. all paperwork has been examined in the course of the
financial year and it is my opinion that these accounts represent a true and fair view of the
charitable activities in the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
Independent Examiners Report
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention .
l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that. in any material respect. the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and
principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by
Charities have not been met, or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in orderto enable a property
understanding of the accounts to be reached. save the removal of historic balances which
are no longer relevant.
