  1. Accounts The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis and are included in this report. Total receipts for the year were £14,729.04, of which lettings and other income accounted for £10,295.19. Donations of £125 were received, but the £600 annual grant from Dunsfold Parish Council was not received until after the year end. Payments were £16,599.34, giving rise to a deficit for the year of £1,870.30. The Charity received £4,308.85 of dividends and bank interest, an increase of 16.8% over the previous year. During the year all of the BlackRock investment fund units were sold for £111,678.55, and 6,713.427 units in the M&G Equities Investment Fund for Charities were purchased for £105,000. This was done in order to generate higher dividend income for the Charity. The M&G units were valued at £108,908.57 at the year end. Funds at the bank were £9,619.15 at the year end, giving total charity assets of £118,527.72 (2024: £117,336.29). The Charity owns the land on which The Winn Hall is situated, as well as the land surrounding it and the car park. It also owns the building and all the plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings in the building. These assets are not shown in the accounts.
  2. Investment and reserves policies The Trustees, having regard to the possibility of occasional unexpected significant payments as well as planned capital and other expenditure, operate a policy of aiming to keep a minimum of about £10,000 of the Charity's reserves in immediately accessible funds at the bank. The balance of the reserves are treated as available for longer term investment, and are invested with a view to giving the Charity both income and long-term capital growth. The Trustees are satisfied that the overall level of reserves is sufficient to allow the Charity to continue to operate safely and effectively for the foreseeable future.
  3. Activities and other operational matters The main matters to report are: The number of hirings has continued at a similar level to the previous year, although one regular hirer was unable to continue due to illness. The Hall was also used for one election during the year. There were again several significant repairs required during the year. These included a major repair to the heating system, a water leak, and a couple of electrical faults. The wi-fi and telephone connections were also repaired. Members of the Management Committee carried out some redecoration and a number of minor repairs, including replacing a blocked down pipe, clearing the car park drain and replacing the lock of the Nugent Room front door. Inspections of the emergency lighting and of fire safety equipment were undertaken as usual, with some new fire extinguishers being installed, and an annual PATS test on all electrical appliances was also done. All tests are done by qualified external contractors. The emergency lighting test certificate is on display in the Hall, other certificates are held on file. The Chairman and a member of the Management Committee undertook an annual fire and general risk assessment and updated the documents accordingly, and the first aid boxes were inspected and items replaced as necessary. The caretaker continued to undertake various checks and activities to help avoid the risk of legionella, and to generally provide excellent support throughout the year.

A working party of Management Committee members met on two occasions to clear the grounds and to clean the Hall and Nugent Room. One of the Committee members undertakes care of the garden in front of the Hall. The data protection policy was reviewed, and no changes were recommended. A Data Protection Privacy Statement is available on the website. 7. Public benefit The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's purpose meets the public benefit requirement and confirm that they have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at Trustee meetings and in managing the activities of the Charity.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding to be reached.
