Report of the Trustees
Forthe year ended 31 August 2024
The Trustee5 present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31" August 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
IFR51021 effective I" January 2019.
08JEcfiviES AND AIMS
Rosebird Community Hall was opened in 2012 as part of a neSghbourhood centre development
located to the 50Uth of Stratford-upon-Avon. The objects of the CIO are to rent and run the
Rosebird Community Hall and to hire it out for childrèns parties and for use by local groups, thu5
benefitting the residents of Trinity Mead and Bridgetown and the surrounding a￿a5 through the
provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individua15 who have need
of such facilitie5 by reason of their youth. age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social
and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the
object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
During 2022123 the 10 year Section 106 Agreement which enabled the facility to be built and
offered rent free came to an end. This meant not only the Rosebird Community A550Clation having
to pay rent but a150 a requirement for a lÈa5e to be taken over by the Members to safeguard the
future of the hall.
In March 2022 the Chairman met with CAVA to discuss the challenges faced by the group. A key
issue was thatthe group wa5 not incorporated and théréfore the Committee members were
personally liable for contracts and debts. A5 a result CAVA worked with the Committee to guide
them through the process of setting up a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and this was
registered by the Charity Commission in December 2022. This enabled the Group to become
incorporated and no longer personally liable and the Rosebird Community Hall is now much more
secure.
Management
R05ebird Community Assoeiation is managed by the Board of Trustees and Members of the Charity
who are responsible for ensuring compliance with both Company Law and Charity Commission
requirements.
