GARGRAVE VILLAGE HALL COULTHURST TRUST OPERATING AS GARGRAVE VILLAGE HALL Registered Charity No. 222607

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Structure, governance and management

Gargrave Village Hall is an unincorporated association, registered as a charity with the Charity Commissioners and is constituted by a trust deed dated March 26, 1958.

The object of the trust is to acquire and hold land in the Parish of Gargrave and to erect and maintain thereon a village hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of Gargrave or otherwise to hold or apply real or personal property for the time being subject to the trusts of the charity’s trust deed for such charitable purposes within Gargrave as the Trustees shall in their discretion think fit.

The charity is administered by a Management Committee, comprising of members elected annually at the Annual General Meeting, and the Trustees.

Risk management

Risks are constantly under review. Where appropriate, systems and procedures are in place to mitigate the risks the charity might face. These include compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors and the impact of legislation generally.

Investment policy

There is no set investment policy but funds are held in low risk, easily accessible investments should the need arise to make use of those funds. Currently, investments are held in National Savings Certificates and building societies.

Public benefit

The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Reserves policy

The charity holds sufficient reserves to cover approximately two years of costs. Some buildings may need substantial repair or replacement and funds are maintained should this be the case. No funds have been raised or are designated for any specific purposes.

Trustees and training

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees is by the Trustees in accordance with the constitution. No other persons or bodies external can appoint Trustees. No formal induction or training of Trustees or management committee members is done but, if required and approved by the Trustees, costs will be met by the charity.

Objectives and activities

Gargrave Village Hall relies heavily on its volunteers and their role in the operation is significant ranging from additional cleaning and caretaking duties to ensuring compliance with legislation and regulation.

Achievements and performance

The Trustees regard the performance of Gargrave Village Hall as satisfactory against the objectives of the trust’s constitution. No material expenditure has occurred other than the maintenance of the fabric of the buildings. Lettings are made to the local library, parish council and local residents for garages. Other major income streams are the lettings of rooms within Gargrave Village Hall, the provision of dances, flea markets and a jumble sale and contributions from the local communities that use the hall and its facilities.

The principal funding sources are from the lettings of Gargrave Village Hall’s premises, events organised by the management team and contributions from the local communities. All expenditure has been made with a view to maintaining the income for the charity in order to sustain the community buildings and assets.

Significant activities are the provision of facilities and events that can be enjoyed by the community for a wide range of purposes including, inter alia, a snooker club, numerous health activities, jumble sales and local meetings. The local library and parish council have publicly accessible rooms within Gargrave Village Hall. The charity will continue to maintain facilities for the local and wider community.

The Trustees consider the financial state of the charity and its performance as satisfactory. The main financial and accounting policies are set out in the notes on pages 8 to 9.

Approved by the Trustees on March 26, 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GARGRAVE VILLAGE HALL

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended September 30, 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”)

The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true & fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

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.

5. Accounting policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005 and applicable UK accounting standards.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Funds are designated only when they are raised for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.

All funds are unrestricted and not designated. The Accumulated Fund has arisen over many years of the charity’s normal operations.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

6. Staff

Apart from the Management Committee and Trustees, all of whom are volunteers, the staff comprises two caretakers and two cleaners. These are part-time positions and, when taken together, amount to less than one full-time member of staff. No employee received emoluments greater than £60,000. No trustee or any associated person has received any remuneration from the charity except for honoraria to cover minor out of pocket expenses of £1,500 to the bookings secretary, £1,200 to the treasurer and £350 to the payroll administrator.
