OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are the provision and maintenance of the village hall and playing fields for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of Codford and its immediate vicinity, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes, and other forms of recreation and leisuretime occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
The main activities of the charity are the hire of the hall and social areas, grounds, changing rooms, play area, chill out area and tennis courts. Activities include football, pilates, badminton, indoor bowls, skittles, snooker, darts, singing and fund raising for village organisations. Meeting groups that use the facilities include the Parish Council, the Gardening Club, the Historical Society, the Ladies Circle, the Community Café, St Peter's Church, St Mary's Church and the management committee.
Grants do not form part of the charity's purposes, but loans to enhance the facilities subcontracted to organisations using the hall and grounds are made from time to time.
The trustees depend on many volunteers but accept that paid help is necessary to maintain this valuable community amenity.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Achievements and performance
Codford Village Hall operated throughout the financial year 2024/2025 providing services to the community of Codford and the surrounding area. It hosted a programme of routine ongoing sports and social activities, including the football club that moved from Heytesbury to make Codford its home and changed its name to reflect that. The hall has also served as a hub for official activities such as the polling station, Codford Parish Council committee meetings and other community meetings. Sadly, the wider context of events nationally, and beyond, have had a negative impact on our operations. The energy hikes resulting from Russia’s attacks on Ukraine have continued to push up our overheads and the negative narratives arising during the 2024 general election and overall tightening of household purse strings have led to a reduced footfall in our bar and at events over the second half of the year. Consequently, the positive upturn in the previous year, that enabled the bar to clear its operating deficit from the COVID period and to make a contribution to the hall’s finances, has been reversed with bar trading suffering a small loss for the year of £485. In view of the financial reliance of the bar on the charity, the trustees have closely monitored the bar’s trading performance on a regular, ongoing basis and will continue to do so as a means of safeguarding the charity’s financial resources. In addition, the hall’s operating accounts (i.e. unrestricted funds) are showing a deficit for the year of £5,783. The trustees and the loyal staff and volunteers that work for the charity, have done a great deal to mitigate this and without their many efforts the situation would be worse.
We remain committed to improve the fabric and comfort of the Charity’s facilities, despite the community development fund, that we were seeking a major grant from, being pulled after the change of Government. We have subsequently succeeded in obtaining a number of smaller grants and gifts, which have allowed us to make a start on some key improvements, but we continue to seek some £250,000 to replace the roof and fit solar panels and storage to improve our insulation and generate some of our own power.
The principal risks we face are another hike in energy costs, the deterioration of the roof, and a further loss of footfall due to the condition of the building, particularly in the cold. The Trustees are working to raise funds to allow us to mitigate those risks.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2025
Financial review
The charity’s unrestricted funds ended the year with a deficit of £5,783 (2023/2024 - £1,452 surplus). Although expenditure fell from £27,530 in the previous year to £25,704 this year, income fell by a much larger amount from £28,982 to £19,921, which was due principally to fewer donations being received this year – in particular, the contribution from the bar’s trading activities.
The charity’s restricted funds have continued to show a surplus, with one of £4,515 for the year (2023/2024 - £6,387). This year’s income of £34,485 included grants from the National Lottery and the Warminster Area Board of £20,000 and £4,900 respectively which, together with smaller donations, enabled the replacement of the hall’s windows and external doors at a cost of £27,000.
Public Benefit
The trustees acknowledge the duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s published general and relevant sub-sector guidance on public benefit.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Reserves
The trustees have reviewed the reserves policy, with a view of achieving financial resilience. The trustees’ aim is to maintain Unrestricted Funds reserves at a level that will allow the charity to weather fluctuations in the level of operational activity and income.
Going concern
The trustees have formally reviewed the forecast cost and expenditure for the next twelve months and voted unanimously that Codford Village Hall is still a going concern. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

CODFORD VILLAGE HALL
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
for the year ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed and Constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CODFORD VILLAGE HALL
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Codford Village Hall (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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.
Independent Examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) the accounts do 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 the 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.
Use of my report
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
Codford Village Hall (registered charity number 305493 - the ‘original’ charity) is an unincorporated charity, registered in England and Wales. Codford Village Hall (registered charity number 1208107 - the ‘new’ charity) is a charitable incorporated organisation (‘CIO’), also registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is Codford Village Hall, Broadleaze, Codford, Warminster, BA12 0PP.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's Trust Deed and Constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
On 2 May 2024, the trustees formed a new charity - Codford Village Hall (registered charity number 1208107 - the ‘new’ charity) as a charitable incorporated organisation, to replace Codford Village Hall (registered charity number 305493 - the ‘original’ charity). Following this change in charity structure, the assets of the original charity were transferred to the new charity with effect from 1 August 2024, which the trustees have accounted for in these financial statements through merger accounting.
Merger accounting involves aggregating the assets, liabilities and funds of the combining charities and presenting them as though they had always been part of the same reporting charity. As the merger has taken place part way through a reporting period, the accounts are drawn up to include the results of the combining charities for the whole of the reporting period in which the merger occurred.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have formally reviewed the forecast cost and expenditure for the next twelve months and voted unanimously that Codford Village Hall is still a going concern. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
