## **2. Structure, Governance and Management** 

## _**a. Nature of Governing Document**_ 

The charity was established by a Deed of Trust dated 19[th] July 1919 to Stokesley Parish Council. 

## _**b. Recruitment, Appointment and Training of New Trustees**_ 

All members of Stokesley Town Council serve as trustees of the charity as part of their duties as Town Councillors. The Secretary / Treasurer of the charity is also Clerk to Stokesley Town Council. 

Trustees serve until the date of the next Town Council election. If a Town Councillor is not re-elected at the time of the next Town Council election or resigns as a Town Councillor, he / she is required to resign as a Trustee of Stokesley Town Hall Trust. 

Candidates standing for election to the Town Council, or who have put themselves forward for co-option, are advised that part of their duties, if elected or co-opted, would be to serve as Trustees. 

One of the existing Trustees is identified as mentor to any new Trustee and, along with the secretary, provides guidance and a source to whom queries may be addressed. All new Trustees are provided with a copy of relevant Charity Commission documents including: CC3 – Essential Trustee: What You Need To Know CC15b – Charity Reporting and Accounting: The Essentials Copies of other important documents are also available from the secretary on request and are provided to all Trustees prior to discussions / decisions on specific topics. 

## _**c. Dates of Meetings**_ 

Meetings are routinely held on the first Thursday of each alternate calendar month and are open to the members of the public.  Exceptionally additional meetings may be held between the usual bi-monthly meetings if there is urgent business to transact. 

The annual meeting of the Trust is held in June each year. 

## **3. Objectives and Activities** 

The indenture of 19[th] July 1919 leaving the Town Hall in trust to the then Parish Council states that it should ‘be used for the benefit and advantage of the inhabitants of the Township of Stokesley’. 

The indenture further states ‘The Parish Council shall hold the said premises for such purposes in such manner and under such rules and regulations as they in their discretion shall from time to time consider to be for the benefit and advantage of the 

Page 4 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

Township and inhabitants of Stokesley aforesaid including the formation and carrying on of an Institute or place of recreation and social intercourse for the benefit or advantage of the inhabitants of the Township of Stokesley either gratuitously or in consideration of any money payment or on such terms as the Parish Council may think fit. 

‘The management and control of the property and affairs of the said premises shall be vested in the Parish Council with full power and authority at their discretion at any time to appoint or make provision for the appointment of any persons (including all or any of the Parish Council) as Committee Men or otherwise for the purpose of the administration of the trust aforesaid in such manner and subject to such rules and regulations as the Parish Council may prescribe. 

‘For the purpose of providing additional funds for maintaining the property and of defraying any expenses incidental to the purposes hereof (including the provision of furniture pictures books periodicals games musical instruments and the like) the Parish Council may require such subscriptions (if any) from all or any persons using the premises as they shall from time to time think necessary and proper and may let the said premises for entertainments lectures and like purposes not being inconsistent with the objects and purposes of these presents.’ 

The objectives of Stokesley Town Hall Trust remain wholly consistent with the statements made in the 1919 indenture to provide a wide range of community activities particularly promoting charitable activities. These activities include the provision of the Town Hall as a permanent community facility. 

The Town Hall is available for hire by individuals or organisations in accordance with a standard hiring agreement and scales of charges adopted for the year.  A lower rate of charging applies to local hirers of the facilities and is consistent with the condition in the indenture that the Town Hall shall be ‘for the benefit and advantage of the Township and inhabitants of Stokesley’. A higher set of charges applies for commercial and trade hiring of the facilities. This assists in minimising any shortfall in income to meet all expenditure incurred. 

Whilst it is intended that the overall scale of the charges should be sufficient to generate enough income to cover all costs, this objective has not been achieved in many of the recent financial years. Any shortfall in income compared with expenditure is made good by the transfer of funds from Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust (Registered Charity No: 1023299). Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust shares a common set of Trustees with Stokesley Town Hall Trust. 

## **4. Achievements and Performance** 

The efforts of the Trustees are supported by two groups of volunteers in the successful operation of the Town Hall. These are the Town Hall Management Advisory Committee (THMAC) and the Friends of the Town Hall (FoTH). 

Page 5 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

The THMAC offers advice to the Trustees about the management, running and maintenance of the Town Hall. THMAC may raise funds and invite and receive contributions for the benefit of the Town Hall, but does not undertake any substantial permanent trading activity. 

The THMAC consists of up to four elected members, up to nine appointed members, with each such member representing one of the organisations regularly using the Town Hall, and up to two co-opted members. The officials are elected at the Annual General Meeting held during June each year. No member of the THMAC receives any remuneration or is interested (otherwise than as a member) in any contract entered into by Stokesley Town Hall Trust. 

The THMAC is timetabled to meet formally four times per year and provides minutes of such meetings to the next meeting of the Town Hall Trustees and the chairman presents a report of the preceding year to each THMAC Annual General Meeting and provides a copy of the same report to the Town Hall Trustees. 

The Town Hall Committee (THC), with formal Terms of Reference, integrates the activities of the Trustees and the THMAC. The THC consists of a minimum of three members from the Trustees and three non-trustee members from the THMAC. The quorum of the committee is three members from the Trustees and two members of the THMAC.  The Chairman of the Town Hall Trust is an ex-officio member of this Committee but does not have voting rights. 

The THC produces, reviews and amends the Town Hall Forward Maintenance / Improvement Programme and considers all new proposed items of expenditure. The THC has delegated powers to approve items of expenditure up to the cost of £2,000 that are included in the agreed Town Hall Maintenance / Improvement Programme approved by the Trustees. Any items of expenditure of greater value are subject to approval by the Trustees. 

The FoTH is a less formal group of volunteers. These volunteers also support the Town Hall by raising money for improvements from activities such as coffee mornings and quiz evenings, helping with tasks to maintain the building, and giving time and advice to help its day to day running. 

The Trustees wish to record their appreciation of 

- the significant ongoing contributions of time, effort and commitment made by members of both the THMAC and the FoTH to the successful running of the Town Hall. 

- the ongoing efforts of the Town Hall Stewards for their flexible working, their attitude which benefits the presentation of the Town Hall to the public and for their commitment to maintain the high decorative standard of all the rooms in the Town Hall. 

- the efforts of the secretary and her deputy to secure the success of the craft fairs and entertainment club events. 

Page 6 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

- the members of the Flower Club for the provision of floral displays in the Town Hall during the year. 

The forward plan for maintenance and improvements to the Town Hall over the next few years is regularly updated. This identifies the outline future funding requirements and prioritises those items which are necessary to safeguard the building’s structure, to meet health and safety requirements, and to improve the Town Hall. 

Stokesley Town Hall Trust offers four rooms for hire to suit most needs. On the upper floor is the Main Hall with a maximum capacity of 100 people. Attached to the Main Hall is the Carter Room with a maximum capacity of 28 people which incorporates a bar and mini kitchen. On the ground floor is the Jack Brunton Room and associated kitchen with a capacity of 75 people and finally the smallest room, the Stokesley Room, with a capacity of up to 28 people. 

Specific room hire depends on the number of people attending each function and room availability. Several local societies meet in the different rooms of the Town Hall including Leven Arts, the Stokesley Society, the Women’s Institute, Stokesley Pride In Our Town Association, Stokesley Engineers, the Photography Club, Probus and several activity groups from the U3A. Additionally rooms were hired for birthday parties (for a wide range of ages) and other family functions, including funeral teas, and by the District and County Councils. The Town Hall also hosts wine tasting evenings and evening entertainment and acts as a base for outdoor sporting events and as a polling station for local elections. 

The Main Hall is normally used for a wide variety of activities by local groups. These include grand functions, jazz and other musical evenings, theatrical events, lectures, art classes and exhibitions, flower club, chair aerobics, fitness classes and the local branch of Slimming World.  An occasional series of quiz evenings for the financial benefit of the Trust is held through the year. 

The Jack Brunton Room is used for the weekly charity coffee mornings, Community Care lunches (served from the associated kitchen), bingo evenings, yoga classes, art classes, and ukulele classes. 

The smaller Stokesley Room is used as a meeting room for local organisations and committees, including Town Council meetings, and for education and training sessions as well as hosting Santander banking once a week. 

Thanks, are also due to the volunteers who run the bar in the Carter Room on Entertainment Club evenings. 

Several of the groups who regularly use the Town Hall cite the benefits of the rooms being set up ready for their use and having a Steward on hand during meetings. Commercial enterprises hire one or more rooms for events such as valuation days, comedy evenings, wedding fairs, fashion sales and bed sales. The Trustees wish to

Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

thank the Secretary and her assistant for their efforts in ensuring the continued success of the second monthly craft fair on the day of the Northern Makers Market. These twice-monthly Town Hall Craft Fairs and the Big Mouth Comedy Club were important sources of income to the Trust. 

The trustees consider that the above uses meet the requirements laid out in the 1919 deed of gift that the Town Hall shall be used ‘for the benefit and advantage of the Township and inhabitants of Stokesley … including the formation and carrying on of an Institute or place of recreation and social intercourse for the benefit or advantage of the inhabitants of the Township of Stokesley’. 

## **5. Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees are confident they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in the exercising of their powers and duties. 

## **6. Risk Management Statement** 

The Trustees consider that they have the right skills and experience to understand financial information, identify and manage risks. On an ongoing basis, the bi-monthly trustee meetings keep track of income and spending against the budget. 

Strategically the main foci are the protection and development of the income stream from the hiring of rooms in the Town Hall, the control of day-to day costs of running the Town Hall and the establishment of a longer-term expenditure plan covering capital projects to maintain the Town Hall. More detail is given in Section 7. 

## **7. Financial Review** 

## _**a. Review of Year 2024/25**_ 

No changes have been made to the room letting rates since the increases averaging 3% in the local charitable rates and approximately 10% in the local non-charitable rates were applied from April 2017. 

Income from room lettings and associated revenue in 2024/25 decreased from the previous year. Including the rent for the Clerk’s office on the ground floor from the Town Council of £6,248, income in 2024/25 totalled £59,084, down from £65,225 in 2023/24. 

Donations / fund raising income decreased £2,727 in 2023/24 to £1,944 in 2024/25. A grant of £5,000 was made by Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust to the Town Hall Trust in 2024/25 (2023/24 Nil). Total income to the Town Hall Trust of £81,942 in 2024/25 decreased from £88,205 in 2023/24. 

Total expenditure by the Trust increased was little changed in 2024/25 at £89,412, compared with £89,885 in 2023/24. In terms of major items of expenditure, Gross Wages and Salaries, the largest single item, rose by 3.6% from £48,011 in 2023/24 to 

Page 8 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

£49,749, driven by the 9.8% increase in minimum wage rates. However, the cost of Repairs and Renewals fell from £6,957 in 2023/24 to £2,705 in 2024/25. The cost of Light and Heat rose by £210 to £9,469 in 2024/25 from £9,259 in 2023/24 with Cleaning and Sundry Expenses increasing from £1,832 in 2023/24 to £6,550 in 2024/25. 

A full programme of events continued to held by the Stokesley Entertainment Club, but careful management of the artists booked reduced expenditure to £9,825 in 2024/25 from £13,126 in 2023/24. Although receipts were also lower, declining to £15,814 in 2024/25 from £20,253 in 2023/24, increased income led to net income in 2024/25 of £6,089 in 2024/25, down from £7,127 in 2023/24. 

With expenditure of £2,943 in 2024/25, up from £528 in 2023/24, there was a decrease in the tangible fixed assets represented by Fixtures and Fittings of (£773) in 2024/25, with depreciation increasing from £3,650 in 2023/24 to £3,716 in 2024/45. 

## _**b. Reserves Policy**_ 

A formal Reserves Policy was adopted by the Trustees on 2 October 2014. This is based on Charity Commission guidance, the requirements of charity law and the Charities Commission Statement of Recommended Practice. A summary of the key elements of the policy is provided below. A full copy of the Reserves Policy is available from the treasurer of the Trust. 

The policy recognises that Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust (SMLT) and Stokesley Town Hall Trust (STHT) share both common trustees and a common objective of enabling the Town Hall to remain as a permanent community facility.  In recognition that the governing document for the SMLT expressly states the objective to support STHT and that there is no similar statement in the STHT governing document that permits the reverse transfer of funds from STHT to SMLT, the overall policy of the Trustees is to hold the majority of the reserves in the SMLT. 

Through the medium to longer term the Town Hall is not forecast to generate a surplus of income against expenditure, with further investment being required to refurbish the structure, fixtures and fittings, and to maintain the internal decoration of the building. 

Unrestricted reserves of up to approximately £15,000 are required to provide ongoing support to Stokesley Town Hall Trust for at least one year to fund the anticipated shortfall in income against ongoing expenditure. 

Unrestricted reserves of up to approximately £40,000 are justified for the purpose of refurbishment of the Town Hall external fabric and internal decoration. 

The Trustees will manage the balances held in each of the above reserves, as income is accrued from the ongoing commercial activities of Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust and donations are made to the Trusts and expenditure is made, in the context of the three-year forward plans of each of the trusts. 

Page 9 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

The Trustees will seek to maintain a minimum total reserves balance of approximately £40,000 across the two trusts at all times. The Trustees review this policy at least annually and will decide by resolution at meetings of the trusts on significant changes in the value of reserves held by each trust. 

The Trustees consider the level of reserves currently held is necessary in order to meet both the current and future expenditure outlined above. 

## **8. Plans for Future Periods** 

To assist the Trustees in their legal responsibility to ensure that the Stokesley Town Hall Trust remains solvent the main focus of efforts is to seek to match income and expenditure. Opportunities will continue to be examined to increase income and to secure grant funding for suitable projects whilst the cost base will remain under review. 

The programme of enhancements to, and refurbishment of, the internal fabric and fixtures and fittings in recent years means that only limited capital expenditure will be required in the near future to improve the appearance of the Town Hall. However, there will be an ongoing commitment to the maintenance and servicing of existing facilities. 

Opportunities to increase the attractiveness of the Town Hall to potential hirers will continue to be identified with consideration given to their funding in the short to medium term as resources permit. Aspirations identified for further investigation are the provision of solar panels on at least some of the roof area and of some form of air conditioning in the Main Hall. It is recognised such schemes would require careful planning to protect the fabric and external appearance of the Town Hall, a listed building. Significant grant funding will be a pre-requisite for what are likely to be not inexpensive projects. 

The longer-term expenditure plan for maintenance and improvements to the Town Hall over subsequent years will continue to be reviewed and further developed. This will be used to identify the future levels of financial support to Stokesley Town Hall Trust from Stokesley Manorial Lands Trust. 

## **9. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual 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 financial position 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; 

Page 10 of 20 



Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK 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 proper accounting records which 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 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

## **10. Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees** 

The following pages are taken from the Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements document prepared by Mr Chris Gorman, the Independent Examiner. 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Stokesley Town Hall Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## _**a. Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner**_ 

As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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. 

## _**b. 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2.  the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3.  the financial statements 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 an 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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Disclosure exemptions** 

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: 

(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. 

(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future projects or commitments.

Stokesley Town Hall Trust Annual Report and Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Depreciation is not provided on the Town Hall property as the Trustees consider that its market value is equal to its net book value. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Plant and Machinery:  6% straight line Fixtures and fittings:  6% straight line
