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 2022
There are no funds in deficit. All creditors and loans (Covid Bounce Back Loan) are covered by liquid assets.
The Year ending 31[st] March 2022 saw the Hall run by the Trust recover from the Covid pandemic and return to the level of bookings and hire experienced in 2018 and 2019.
The Trust was able to add £13,916 to its reserves for the year ended 31.3.2022 retaining 21% of its gross income for the year to maintain and improve the infrastructure of the Hall going forward
The outlook for 2022/2023 is still cautious as covid infections may return but probably the main risk will be from the higher cost of living and inflationary pressure on costs. This will impact the Hall by increasing its cost base by at least 10%. In addition, the Hall is dependent on the public being able to afford to attend our events or hire the Hall. The pressure on disposable incomes during 2023 is likely to increase as prices and interest rates continue to rise. Energy costs are a particular concern.
The maintenance and safety of the Hall structure remains a priority and work continued during 2021 and 2022 to improve the premises for public use.
Independent Examiners
The Charity’s financial statements as filed have been independently examined by Ian Starfield. Chartered Certified Accountant.
