|Historical Background:|Over the last 100 years, the parish of All Cannings and Allington<br>has benefted from a 1917 bequest by Miss Mary Watney,<br>comprising the village hall and the land around it. Mary Watney<br>was fond of the village, and she wanted to support family life by<br>providing social opportunites. The hall and land were to be used<br>for the good of all parishioners and were to be managed by the<br>village rector and the churchwardens.<br>Over the years, the hall became the social centre of the village<br>and in 1971 it was converted into a village hall and a 50-year<br>lease was granted to the All Cannings Village Hall (ACVH) Trust by<br>the trustees of the Miss Mary Watney for Reading Room Charity<br>(MWT). This lease expired in the Summer of 2021. In 2005 and on<br>untl 2021, the ACVH Trust sub-leased part of the land to the<br>Village Shop (ACVS), a not-for-proft Community Beneft Society,<br>on a series of fve-year leases. The last of these has also now<br>expired.|
|Main actvites:|Over the last fve years and in the period that this Annual Report<br>addresses, volunteers and trustees from all three organisatons<br>(MWT, ACVH and ACVS) have come together to work out a plan<br>based on modern charity rules and with a view to streamlining<br>the charitable organisatons involved.|

||They created the All Cannings Community Trust (ACCT), a<br>charitable incorporated organisaton (CIO). It was registered in<br>June 2021.|
|---|---|
|Governance:|The ACCT is a registered CIO using the foundaton model.<br>Its modern and fully accountable consttuton (last amended 12<br>March 2021) was drawn up in line with the model rules for Village<br>Halls promoted by the Council for the Protecton of Rural England<br>and has been approved by the Charity Commission.<br>The frst set of trustees are named in the consttuton and were<br>drawn from the trustees of the MWT, the ACVH, the ACVS and<br>the village in general.<br>The ACCT will hold an open village meetng every year at which an<br>account of the year’s progress will be given. Future trustees will<br>be re-appointed or replaced by the village and will, therefore,<br>represent multple viewpoints from the community.<br>The ACCT has a clear mission to support all who live and work in<br>All Cannings and Allington, furthering the inital mission of Mary<br>Watney.|
|Aims and objectves:|The objects of the CIO are to establish and run facilities (to<br>include a village hall) and to promote for the benefit of the<br>inhabitants of the Parish of All Cannings and Allington (“area of<br>benefit”) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age,<br>disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions<br>the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time<br>occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by<br>reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial<br>hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public<br>at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of<br>improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.<br>Importantly, these objectves do not te the Trust to only<br>managing the Village Hall but create the opportunity for other<br>land or buildings to be managed in the future.<br>The new charity is, therefore, ft, and ready to manage the village<br>hall and its land and look for other opportunites to support<br>village life.|
|Going forward:|Both the MWT and the ACVH Trust have teams of trustees<br>registered with the Charity Commission who are authorised to<br>approve the transfer of their assets to the ACCT(CIO). A frm of<br>charity solicitors have completed the paperwork necessary to<br>ensure that we receive Charity Commission approval and that a<br>seamless transiton was made on 31/08/2023.<br>Once this has been accomplished, the ACCT will be able to issue<br>a new lease to the Village Shop. Instead of a short fve-year lease,<br>this will be a 30-year lease, giving the shop the ability to plan<br>ahead for the replacement of the old buildings.|

|Financial maters:||In this fnancial period the ACCT did not have its own bank<br>account. The Village Hall set up a subsidiary savings account to<br>handle income and expenditure on behalf of the Trust.  On<br>31/08/2023 all accounts held by the Village Hall were transferred<br>to come under the Trust control.<br>During this fnancial period, transactons were wholly devoted to<br>the process of preparing the Trust to take the transfer of assets<br>from the ACVH and the MWT up to 31/08/2023. Trading was<br>carried out from  1/09/2023 onwards and is detailed in these<br>accounts.<br>The ACCT received a grant of £2,500 from the Wiltshire<br>Community Foundaton towards these costs. It has been agreed<br>that expenditure above this will be shared equally by the ACVH<br>and the ACVS. The Community Shop will meet its own legal fees<br>for the executon of theproposed lease.|
