The Great War Memorial Hall (Known as Mawnan Memorial Hall)
Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021
The Trustees present their report and the receipts and payments account together with a statement of assets of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.
The Great War Memorial Hall of Mawnan Smith, Cornwall is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commissioners (Number 235032) and constituted by Deed of Trust, dated 28th August, 1920. Its objectives are to use the Memorial Hall for the recreation or otherwise of the residents of Mawnan Smith or for social, charitable or other public services.
During the year the Charity’s committee continued to manage the hall in accordance with the Deed of Trust in so far as this was possible under the difficult conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst the majority of the regular events and lettings had to be cancelled we were in receipt of substantial financial help from Cornwall Council for which we are extremely grateful. At all times the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. For the same reason the programme for 2021/22 has yet to be arranged but it is hoped that users of the hall will be returning as soon as they consider it appropriate.
The Charity is administered by a management committee who are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting. Those who served during the year comprised:-
Rodney Allday Anthony Barbary Christina Corbett Sylvia King Philip Moyle Ian Newman Susan Pitman Caroline Toland Valerie Tunwell (Chair)
The Charity’s bankers are Barclays of Killigrew Street, Falmouth, Cornwall and its solicitors are Hine Downing of Berkeley Vale, Falmouth.
The committee continue to monitor income and expenses carefully and it is considered that the charity should maintain a reserve equal to at least one full year’s running expenses. In addition reserves are being accumulated to cover the possible cost of future major maintenance. This will be kept under review.
The Trustees are mindful of the need to keep under review potential risks and have arranged suitable insurance cover.

For the year ended 31[st] March, 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the receipts and payments account of the Mawnan Memorial Hall, (the Trust), for the year ended 31st March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts 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.
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:
