## **Chairman’s Report Eastern Green Village Hall 2025** 

The Hall has enjoyed a busy and happy year. Our committee of volunteers along with several very kind supporters including Derek Faulkner and Collette and Phil Balfe have been able to deal with everything the building and its use has thrown at us. 

Most of our regular users have remained steady with no losses, most available time is booked and we continue to strive to gain maximum use of the hall’s community facilities. Party bookings and general ad hoc bookings have **increased slightly** . Our bookings secretary has the unenviable job of liaising with the public to initiate and support these bookings. We would like to thank her for giving so generously of her time to do this work. 

The usual array of small and large maintenance work has gone on throughout the year. We are fortunate to have some trusted contractors that can help us with much of this and also the generous time and commitment of Derek Faulkner to the hall in dealing with a wide range of repair and maintenance work. We would wish to thank him for this. 

The hall benefitted from a volunteering visit from JLR employees. They dug a border at the front of the hall, cleared weeds from the pathway and painted inside the hall the border around the hall floor. We are very grateful to them for this and we hope to work with them again in the future. 

This year we have had a gas smart meter installed, a new smart water meter, a replacement water butt, external noticeboard for users to use at their sessions, a folding table in the foyer, a replacement front door, gutters repaired and cleaned out and a lawn mower has been purchased. 

Future plans include replacement of the fire doors and swing doors into the hall. The use and maintenance/refurbishment of the rear playground area. The use and refurbishment of the front garden area. Replacement of the hall’s stock of tables and chairs and purchase of a trolley for the tables. Establishing a Ground Maintenance contract will be necessary as the council will no longer be cutting our grass. 

Communication with the community is very important and Mrs.Jen Asbridge looks after this and fields the messages from the community to the correct committee member. We thank her for this.  Mrs.Anne Brown has been invaluable this year as the hall’s secretary. Thank you Anne. The committee has been fortunate to receive help and support from Collette Balfe and her husband Phil this year both in work done on the outside areas and supporting the hall’s projects when contractors have been on site. All of our committee members give generously and freely of their time. No reward is expected and none is received however I think we are all pleased to see the hall thrive and our community given the opportunity to make use of it. 

Sandy Faulkner -  Chairman

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Eastern Green Village Hall, which is a Charitable Incorporated Organisa�on 

I report to the trustees on my examina�on of the accounts of Eastern Green Village Hall for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## Responsibili�es and basis of the report 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examina�on of the Trust's accounts carried out under sec�on 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examina�on I have followed all the applicable Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by sec�on 130 of the Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
