## **MINUTES** 

Present: R. Coward (Chairman), A. Rees, A. Rich, G. Jeans, F. Harris-Yeates Apologies: C. Hazzard, R. Hughes 

## **MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING** 

Minutes of the meeting held on the 7[th] November 2023, were taken as read and unanimously agreed. 

## **MATTERS ARISING** 

## **Review of the terms and conditions of the Charities** 

The Trustees discussed the procedures necessary to change the terms of the Trust Deed, which was shown in correspondence from the Charity Commission. The Trust document also stated the number of Nominated and Elected Trustees that the Charity should have.  This the Charity does not comply with at present. There was a discussion on whether the Trust Deed covered Zeals as well as Mere Forest.  After a discussion the Trustees decided that the terms of the Trust for the charity needed to be fully revised.  Decisions on the revision to be carried out after further discussion. 

## **RESIGNATION AND ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN** 

Mr Coward was thanked for his 17 years service with the Charity.  Mr Coward confirmed that he would carry on as a Trustee for the foreseeable future. 

Mr Rees, as Vice-Chairman, took over the position of Chairman and continued through the meeting. 

## **ACCOUNTS FOR REVIEW** 

The Accounts from the Hub for the Audit were approved 

The current copy of the bank position was also agreed. 

## **APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE** 

The Trustees discussed the delays that had happened in the provision of cleaning Mr Taylors home.  Mrs Rich said due to his condition it would take sometime to arrange. 

## **ANY OTHER BUSINESS** 



The Meeting were informed that no response had been received to the advertisement in Mere Matters to the availability of the scooter.  It was decided to widen advertising through library, post office and on line at Mere Mutters. The Secretary will arrange. 

Insurance on Forest Farmhouse is due for renewal  on 25[th] March 2024.  However, Towergate have not to responded for access online to the Charity’s account, as the contact details were still under a previous Secretary’s name.  The current Secretary in the end had to instigate a complaints procedure on Towergate and looked elsewhere for insurance.   Through Simply Business, it was decided and agreed by the Trustees that insurance through Royal Sun Alliance was to be taken out. 

Following a telephone call from a Mr Curless on behalf of Semley Music Festival, enquiring if the Charity could assist in funding for residents of Mere and Zeals to attend the festival in some way.  The Trustees discussed this pre-application and decided to ask for more information on the requirements as initially they did not feel it was a suitable recipient of the Charity’s funds. 

The Application for Financial Assistance completed by Mrs Rich on behalf of Aimee Ford was discussed.  The Trustees were informed of her current predicament and her personal struggles.  It was agreed that the Charity would pay the outstanding utility bill in full at the amount of £415.01. 

Mr Jeans asked the meeting to consider whether the Charity had any interest in a parcel of land in Mere which is in shared ownership. The details of who owns shares in the land were held by the late Mr Eric Mitchell and since his death no written record of the owners had been found. Since none of the Trustees present had any reason to believe that the Charity had any interest in the land, there was no further discussion. 

The meeting closed.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Mere Forest Charity Charity No. 201995** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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 2011 Act").

We report in respect of our examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act, and in carrying out our examination, we have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement**

- the accounts do 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
