ANNUAL CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

FOR THE PERIOD 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 TO 31 AUGUST 2022

INTRODUCTION

We have over the last nearly 2 years had to look after the village hall with it being closed for significant parts of the year as part of the government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. There have been weekly inspections, ongoing maintenance/service requirements and a constant need to keep on top of the government and ACRE guidelines relating to allowable activities in village halls. The Trustees would like to thank the villagers for their continued support during this difficult time.

ACTIVITY AT VILLAGE HALL

The CIO’s current income and expenditure was reported at the time of the AGM as broadly break even and the Trustees are hopeful that the emergence from Covid-19 restrictions will see greater use of the hall as we return to life without fear of closure or health risks by meeting in larger groups. The hall continues to represent a fantastic facility for the village for many years to come.

The trustees ran a number of events during the year including a scarecrow competition, a village picnic with children’s entertainer, an Easter egg hunt, as well as supporting the Sniffers’ Norton Lindsey’s Got Talent events, all of which have helped to keep the community, together at this difficult time. We would like to thank all those who have supported these events and to those who contributed time and prizes.

The CIO has been fortunate to receive support from the government through Covid grants to cover costs whilst generating income was prohibited and it received a donation of £2,000 from the Stilton Sniffers which is to be put towards the installation of stage curtains.

The trustees plans going forward include the installation of a bar, acoustic panels and other sound deadening solutions, a hearing loop, the return of the Village Fete, finishing off landscaping around the Hall, noticeboards/frames, the resurrection of the village cinema, amongst others.

The Committee have met monthly and addressed a variety of issues. The Meetings have been on Zoom and in the village hall when permitted.

The building of the village hall was formally signed off in terms of snagging post build in December 2020 and there have been no reports of building related issues since.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

FOR THE PERIOD 1 SEPTEMBER 2021 TO 31 AUGUST 2022

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTON LINDSAY VILLAGE HALL & PLAYING FIELDS

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts for the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Account and Reporting of 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completion my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the application requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 20o08 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.

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.

This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiners report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Norton Lindsay Village Hall & Playing Fields CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 GOING CONCERN

The Trustees, having considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements which assumes that the company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

2.3 INCOME

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.4 EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
