| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parishes of Shalbourne, Ham, Buttermere, Tidcombe and Fosbury, Grafton, Great Bedwyn, Little Bedwyn and Froxfeld in the County of Wiltshire and the Parishes of Hungerford and Inkpen in the County of Berkshire without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for: (a) meetings, lectures and classes, and (b) other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of lifefor theinhabitants |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The CIO has continued with the programme of repair refurbishment and improvement initiated by the original charity (the Shalbourne Village Hall — 309309) and adopted by the CIO following the transfer of assets to it. During the year Listed Building Consent was obtained for the rebuilding of the boundary wall to the yard at the rear of the Hall and grants to cover the rebuilding costs were sought. An internet connection to the Hall has now been provided for the beneft of users of the Hall. Several public flm shows took place making use of the cinema equipment and screen installed in the Hall. Although the equipment has proved to bemostsatisfactory, support for |

| the cinema has been disappointing and the venture has not proved fnancially successful. Further flm shows have been suspended whilst the CIO considers a diferent format for the venture. However, the installation of the equipment has led to the Hall being hired by a local education authority to hold teacher training courses. The Hall has been available for hire throughout this period being used for Pilates and exercise classes, fencing, club meetings, council meetings, art classes, a pre-Christmas market, and for use by crafting and contact groups as well as for the sorting and packing of vegetables by a local community growers group. The Hall was also involved in the local celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III. |

Internal Auditor's report to the Shalbourne Village Hall Management Committee
I have audited the financial statements in accordance with approved auditing standards. In my opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Charity's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its surplus and cashflow for the year then ended. The statements comply with clause 24 of the governing document dated 10 February 2020.

Notes to the accounts
-
1 Accounting Policy
-
1.1 The Hall's financial year ends on 31 December.
-
1.2 Accounts are produced under the historic cost convention, on an accruals basis and using the natural activities method.
-
1.3 Fund based accounts are prepared, in accordance with the Charities Commission guidelines, dividing the Hall's financial assets into unrestricted funds which may be used for the Hall's general charitable purposes, restricted income funds which may only be used for the purpose for which the income was received and endowment funds.
-
1.4 The market value of the land and building is not known and therefore it is shown in the accounts with a nominal value.
-
1.5 Fixed assets and equipment are not depreciated. The full cost of purchases is written off on acquisition.
-
1.6 Reserves are maintained for the purpose of keeping the Hall going, even if not in use, for a period of two years. The policy is to hold the equivalent of two years' running costs in the reserve. The amount is adjusted at each year end to twice the running costs for the most recent year.
-
2 Water charges were much higher at £733.89 (2022 : £112.96). A price increase during the year caused overall bills for the year to go up by 19.75%. Also, estimated meter readings were updated to actual readings which added to this year's cost and there was a period of higher consumption last October and November.
