TACOLNESTON & FORNCETT RECREATION CENTRE ASSOCIATION
(Charity no. 269496)
INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF CHARITY ACCOUNTS (y/e 31 March 2026; conducted on 13[th] April 2026)
I have duly carried out an independent examination of the Charity Accounts relating to Tacolneston & Forncett Recreation Centre Association.
I would like to thank Mr Paul Butcher for providing me with all necessary documentation to undertake the review (which includes the accounting records for the year in question).
Tacolneston Parish Council (henceforward referred to as “TPC”) acts as the sole managing trustee of the Trust.
Trustees are drawn from TPC elected councillors and are appointed annually. None of the trustees receive any remuneration.
I have not read the governing document of the charity in its entirety. The charity was first registered on 27[th] May 1975. The village hall was built in 1983. Cllr. Lennie Pincher acts as Chair of the Trust (as he does for TPC).
Charitable objects are listed thus:
(1) TO PROMOTE THE BENEFIT OF THE INHABITANTS OF TACOLNESTON AND FORNCETT AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF SEX OR OF POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS OR OTHER OPINIONS BY ASSOCIATING THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES, VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS AND INHABITANTS IN A COMMON EFFORT TO ADVANCE EDUCATION AND TO PROVIDE FACILITIES IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIAL WELFARE FOR RECREATION AND LEISURE-TIME OCCUPATION WITH THE OBJECT OF IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE FOR THE SAID INHABITANTS.
(2) TO ESTABLISH OR TO SECURE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RECREATION CENTRE.
Financial Management & Governance Arrangements
1. Paul is the Treasurer for the charity.
- The charity has adopted the following policies: Bullying & Harassment; Complaints; Internal Risk Management;
Safeguarding; Conflicts of Interest; Serious incident reporting.
- The accounts to the year ended 31[st] March 2025 have been lodged with the Charity Commission. These were confirmed as being received “on time”. The accounts for the previous five financial years are also listed as being received “on time”. Reporting is thus up to date.
4. The Trust usually meets on a monthly basis.
TPC meets at least once per year specifically in consideration of its role as sole trustee.
This meeting serves as the Trust’s AGM.
-
The balance sheet has been correctly prepared. Income & Expenditure is used as the basis for accounting.
-
Income is mainly derived from hirers (including “Muddy Puddles”; a Pilates class; the bowls club; provision of function space and donations.
-
Banking is with Barclays. Insurance is with Hiscox. All payments are now made using electronic transfer.
Audit / Self-assessment checklist
On behalf of the charity, Paul has drawn up an extensive document which covers all facets of its accounting and governance procedures. In the form of a checklist, it covers everything from internal financial controls to trustees’ responsibilities.
I do not recall seeing anything as thorough or as “in depth” as this document when dealing with a small charity.
The Management committee has adopted a Finance Policy which informs decision making.
Annual budgets showing income and expenditure are prepared and approved by the trustees.
Conclusions & Any Recommendations
As mentioned previously, the Treasurer’s use of a “Control” document is a very efficient, impressive and comprehensive management device.
In my opinion, the Charity has been properly constituted and works diligently in the interests of the local community.
I have identified nothing in the accounts to cause concern and I have nothing to report separately to the Charity Commission.
To the best of my knowledge and belief, this is a well run charity which is continuing to carry out its charitable and legal responsibilities in a satisfactory manner.
I have duly signed off the 2025/26 accounts and made the usual declaration in respect thereof.
