Gerrans Parish Memorial Hall
AGM April 2022 – Chair’s Report
For those who may be new to the Charity, our purpose is to provide and promote our assets for “ physical and mental training and recreation and social, moral and intellectual development’. Today, along with the Memorial Hall, we fulfil this purpose through a broader base of assets, including the Surgery, Heritage Centre, and a telephone box.
The model that has been created over the years, is a shining example of community selfhelp. The rental income that passes from the NHS to the Surgery and then to the Charity, is reinvested back into the maintenance and improvement of our assets that serve our community so well.
The work of our Charity through 2021 is reported through our existing Charity (Registration Number 300543). Through 2021 we started to shift our legal structure to this, new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The first full annual report for the new CIO will be for the 2022 year and will be signed off at our AGM in 2023.
CIOs are a relatively new, and very helpful legal structure for organisations like ours. CIOs are similar to companies, in that they have the same legal status as a person. This means we can enter into contracts under the name of Gerrans Parish Memorial Hall. Before we formed the CIO, any contract we signed, for say a utility bill or some maintenance work, had to be done in the name of an individual Trustee. That meant that individual also had all the liability should something go wrong. This new move means that our trustees and members generally have limited or no personal liability – which makes it a little easier for people to decide to volunteer to be a Trustee in the future.
However, because CIOs are not companies we don’t have to register with Companies House, rather we are registered and governed by the Charity Commission. This saves us lots of time, effort and costs in paperwork.
In moving to the new legal structure, we also took the opportunity to review and refresh all the polices that govern how we operate to bring us in line with the latest Charity Commission best practice. These documents cover a range of topics including: conflicts of interest; financial procedures; reserves; safeguarding; and data protection.
I look forward to reporting on the Charity on behalf of the Trustees and Members at our AGM in 2023.
