Chair : Paul Trevatt

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity’s governing document is a Declaration of Trust dated 20 September 1957 and a scheme of 19 February 1968 as amended by a scheme sealed on 7[th] October 1993.

The current governance is based on a declaration of Trust Deed made 22[nd] May 2012 when new Trustees were appointed.

On 9[th] February 2021 an amended Trust Deed of Appointment and Retirement of Trustees was affirmed to establish the current position of the Charitable Trust and recognising all the changes made since 22nd May 2012 that had not been recognised by an amended Trust Deed.

Trustees are appointed or resign annually according to the rules of the Trust. Appointments are usually at the AGM and are subject to approval of the existing Trustees.

The day to day activities of the Trust are managed by a management committee which comprises the Trustees and volunteers as elected.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the charity as set out in the Declaration of Trust Deed 2012 are the provision and maintenance of the Lydney Town Hall Building to provide public benefit through community use .

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have regard to the guidance on “Public Benefit” published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The charity has continued to provide and maintain the Town Hall, in furtherance of the public benefit given by the Charity’s charitable activities.

Financial review

The Trustees believe that the Charity has adequate reserves to finance its activities for the immediate future and have approved the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021

There are no funds in deficit.

The Year ending 31[st] March 2021 was severely affected by the Covid pandemic with income before any support from Covid grants down by 77%.

The outlook for 2021/2022 is cautious due to prevalence of Covid 19 infections impacting on the activities of the Hall. Government support grants and furlough support have assisted in the early part of 2021/2022 together with a lower cost base.

Hall Hire and other sales have increased in the later stages of 2021 and there is increased activity for bookings in 2022.

The maintenance and safety of the Hall structure remains a priority and work continued during 2020 and 2021 despite Covid restrictions to improve the infrastructure.

Independent Examiners

The Charity’s financial statements as filed have been independently examined by Ian Starfield. Chartered Certified Accountant.
