TRUSTEES’ REPORT
For the Year Ended 31st December 2024
The Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their Report with the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND AIMS
The objects of the CIO are the provision and maintenance of a community hall for the inhabitants of the Parish of Alcester and the surrounding villages 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 life for the inhabitants.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
During 2024 the Greig Hall ‘traded’ for 12 months for the first time since the CIO entered into a lease from Alcester Town Council for the Hall from 17th February 2023. It is pleasing that the second year continues to show a significant surplus. The activities at the Hall have further consolidated its position as a valued ‘Community Hub’, a core ambition in the Charity’s Business Plan. Dedicated groups of volunteers have ensured that the Hall continues to attract new users as well as sustaining regular users. Several teams of volunteers ensure that the Hall’s maintenance needs are addressed, that an impressive array of lighting and sound equipment is available and supported, and that ticketholders to the Hall-organised events are greeted and assisted as required. Whilst the bar and cleaning duties are primarily undertaken by paid staff, volunteers continue to assist so that our finances are not overstretched. The Hall enjoys immense goodwill from amongst the Alcester community and its surrounds.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The accounts for the year to 31st December 2024 show a surplus of £32,986. This figure compares with a figure of £26,120 in 2023 after taking off the special one-off donation from the Friends of the Greig Hall. Income from hire charges at £38,262 represents a 43% increase (after adjusting for the 10 months operation in the first year) which, against a background of financial challenges nationally, must be regarded as an excellent result. It must be noted that that the Trustees, in the first year, had been cautious about spending, whilst a pattern of income developed. Expenditure inevitably increased in the second year, and the scale of increase from £55,784 to £85,058 (52%) was anticipated in our budgeting. But those figures are illustrative of the size of the enterprise now being managed by the Trustees.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The Charity is controlled by its governing document and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Greig Hall CIO for the year ended 31 December 2024. As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
· the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
