Hassocks Community Organisation Registered Office: Lynnem House 1 Victoria Way Burgess Hill West Sussex RH15 9NF Registration Number: 1183097
Trustees Report 2023
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of providing inexpensive and local opportunities. for shopping, exercise, socialising and entertainment.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
This year our youth work, Hassocks Youth Project, has had to take a back seat due to the loss of one of two key volunteers, but we are working to recruit a replacement and have high hopes of getting things back on track for next year.
The Village Market has gone from strength to strength, despite having to relocate due to concerns regarding the viability of the old site for the long term. The new location is working extremely well, and we are intending to increase the frequency of markets, or to introduce a new type of market once or twice a year.
Our Green Group accepted the help of local Scouts during the Big Help Out day and local residents saw the benefits of their joint work in the very attractive planters in the village.
Light Up Hassocks, our festive community event project, secured funding of £1500 per year for the next three years from the parish council to help improve the appearance and running of this very popular celebratory event.
Financially we remain in a good position with sufficient funds to cover our projects and indeed to invest in new technology such as card readers for our Star Cinema project.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Hassocks Community Organisation is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
The average number of employees during the year was 2 (2022 - 3).
