long term financial viability. The Hall is in need of major upgrading in order that it complies with

Standards. An extension to the Hall will allow for toilets to be upgraded, the installation of toilets
accessible to those with disabilities, separate toilet facilities for young children and public toilets.

the Villa
e Hall and to add a Parish OfFice have been in discussion for the
ast

give a true and fair vi&v of the state of affairs of the Chariws financial activities and of its financial
position at the end of the year.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies
and then apply them consistently" make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.,
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have b&n
followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and prepare
the financial statements on the going con￿￿ basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
Charity will continue in operation.

reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure
that the financial statements comply with applicable law. They are also responsible for
safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking ￿aSOnable steps for the prevention and
