LYMPSTONE VILLAGE HALL CIO
Trustee Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
FOREWORD BY MS CARRIE DARBY, CHAIRMAN
I am delighted to report on the activities of Lympstone Village Hall CIO, in its second full year of operation.
The Hall continues to play a significant and leading role in village community life.
During this Financial Year a comprehensive programme of improvements was undertaken, including: the installation of Blue Science UV technology to sanitise circulating air; new above stage lighting; the completion of our AV upgrade - all three lettable spaces now have high quality audio visual capability; new logo, signage, hirer guide and website; redecoration throughout to provide a contemporary feel; replacement of low voltage lighting in our Meeting and Community Room; introduction of smart technology to control systems remotely; carpeting in the Community Room; and an upgrade to the Hall's patio area.
Further upgrades are scheduled for the 2022-23 Financial Year, including ambitious projects to gain disabled access into the rear of the building and stage area, and to landscape and level the land between the main building and the tennis courts. External grant funding will be required for this Project.
Structure and Governance
The Trustees are pleased to present their second Report and Financial Statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation, charity number 1187640.
The Board of Trustees are supported by a Management Team, and by a paid Premises Manager, Bookings Coordinator, and Cleaner. The Charity otherwise relies upon volunteer support.
Objectives and Activities
The Charity owns and manages Lympstone Village Hall, forming the very centre of village activities. The Hall consists of a single storey complex containing three letting rooms: Main Hall, Meeting Room, and Community Room, in addition to a licensed bar and kitchen.
The complex is used by a wide range of village organisations for social, educational, artistic, and entertainment purposes. It is also used by semi-commercial organisations, for example for exercise and keep fit classes. The Hall also hosts wedding receptions, and family parties.
The CIO continues to focus on its central purpose of providing high quality meeting and event spaces for the Lympstone community.
Achievements and Performance
The Charity has continued to receive Covid 19 grants to replace lost income during the periods of lockdown.
Despite these challenges, the Charity remains in a strong financial position.
Charity's Policy on Reserves
The Charity's reserves policy is to maintain a minimum sum of £30,000 for general running costs and other commitments up to 9 months. In addition, the Trustees have approved the allocation of an additional £10,000 for future hall development projects.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE 12 MONTH PERIOD ENDING 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity 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 note(s).
These accounts show the Charity's activities for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022.
Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
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 the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and Legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Donations of gifts, services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Donations of gifts, services and facilities include seconded employees, IT software and office space. Seconded staff's services are provided free of charge to the charity and the cost of their salary is incurred by a third party. IT software and office space are included at ther estimate market value when donated.
Grants Receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred Income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Resources Expended
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Freehold land and buildings Not depreciated Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 20%, 10% or 5% per annum straight line
Page 9
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 9
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade Creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Funds
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
