Achievements and Performance
The charity fully took over the management of the hall from the old West Parley Memorial Hall (charity number 301196) on 1 January 2019. The assets of the old trust were passed to this charity as shown on the accounts statements. The beginning of repair works have been carried out during 2024 to restore the hall.
The performance of the charity will be vastly reduced for the coming year 2024 due to a fire that occurred on 16th January 2023. At the time of the accounts the claim was still currently in resolution with the insurance company and claim assessors, however work has been carried out to repair some areas. Due to considerable conversations with assessors the fixed asset valuations have been revalued and shown in the accounts to reflect the true value for a complete rebuild cost as identified by the insurers and surveyors involved with the recent fire damage claim.
With regard to the repairs/refurbishment, the Charity has been explained that there may be a shortfall so may well have to seek funding, as costs for repairs have gone up three times as much during the past year.

Independent Examiners’ report to the Trustees of West Parley Memorial Hall CIO
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to; examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under s145 (5) (b) of the Act; and to 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 the 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 the seeking of 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 and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act. have not been met; or
-
to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
