DALECOTE HOUSE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Achievement and Progress towards charitable objectives
The last year has seen a slight increase in activity following the previous yearfs gradual reopening of
the building after the Covid pandemic. We note that caution still 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
is beginni ng to create increased usage of the building. Util ity Costs for heating the Victorian Ic. 18781
building remain a cause for concern for the Trustees. The Trustees have, therefore, maintained an
approach that the utility costs be fixed wherever possible to allow more rational forecasting and
budgeting. At the begi nning of the previous fi nancial year the original lessee of the majority of the
building chose not to renew the lease. Operational control and management of the building
reverted to Dalecote House Ltd via Dalecote Events Ltd {DELI which is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Dalecote House Ltd. In that context during the year there ha5 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 renewed their lease for another five years which guarantees a modest revenue
stream going forward.
Objertive l)
The library and museum for Freemasonry in Coventry contains items that are pertinent to Coventrv
and its wider area from the former Warwickshire Provincial Museum and Library. A substantial part
of the library and museum is now housed in a downstairs room, with artefacts now contained in
display cabinets. This has proven very useful to both masonic and non-mason visitor5 of the cultural
heritage of the building and Coventry and surrounding areas.
To promote the museum and library, and the house itself, Heritage Open Days in September 2025
proved successful with more visitors than the previous year. This was helped, in part, with the
continued development of a website providing updated information on the background and
information on Freemasonry in Coventry. Development of the website will be continued during
2025126 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.
Objertive 2)
The Charity makes the premises available to various local charities and to the ancient Guilds of the
City for meeti ngs and furtherance of their various events. Fundraising events particularly for the
annual pantomime for disabled and disadvantaged children, run by the Freemasons, have continued
into their twelfth year.

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 function5.
Total incoming resources for the year under review amounted to £96,2681£93,467:_ 2024} including
donations of £39,685. After deducting trading expenditure of £84,1691£70,168'.- 2024, the charity
reports a financial gain of £12,099 { £23,299:_ 2024).
Reserves Policy
The Trustees currently maintain a policy of holding at least one year's running costs in reserve. This
is seen as a sensible move bearing in mind business sensitivities p05t COVID which are gradually
decreasing. There is still a reluctance for large meetings and gatherings especially with the older
members of the community. In addition, the uncertainties with future costs associated with a
Victorian house 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 its
appropriateness.
Role of Volunteer5
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 charity's aims and objectives and in planning future
activities.
Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities
The Trustees {who are also the Directors of Dalecote House Limited for the purposes of company
law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the Accounts in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true
and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and
application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the
year.

DALECOTE HOUSE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure
that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the account5 of the company for the year ended 30 June 2025 which are set out on pages
6tol4.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees land those who are also the directors of the company for the purpose5 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{2) 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 procedures13id down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
under Section 145{5}{bl 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 di5closure5 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 opinton that these accounts represent a true and fair view of the
charFt3ble activities in the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
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 order to enable 3 property
understanding of the accounts to be reached, 53ve the removal of historic balances which
are no longer relevant.
