TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ocfoBER 2025
The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31
October 2025. The financial statements comply with the charity's governing document, Charity Commission
guidence on receipts and payments accounts, and applicable law.
The legal and administrative information set out on page I forms part of this report.
Constitution, objects and aims
The charity operates as an association, governed by a constitution, last updated 8 March 2013. The objects of
the charity are to maintain a community centre to provide facilities for meetings, lectures, classes and other
forms of recreation and leisure time activities, for the inhabitants of Newbridge and the surrounding area.
The main activities of the charity, undertaken for the public benefit, are the provision of coffee mornings,
billiards and bingo for the local community.
The trustees of the charity are elected by the members.
Review of the year
The main activities during the year have been coffee mornings, quiz nights , and billiards. The hall has been
hired by the Isle of Wight Council, Guitar group and Line Dancing. Trustees are still pursuing an ongoing drive to
encourage new members and for more people to hire and make use of the community centre.
Two grants were received during the year, the first was for £4,000 from Shalfleet Parish Council which was put
towards the redecoration of the main function room and the hallway. The second was a sum of £16,800 from
the National Lottery which enabled us to replace the roof over the main function room, hallway and billiard
room. Projects for the coming year are to make further improvements to the kitchen, better extraction and the
refurbishment of the old school tiled roof.
Reserves policy
The trustees consider the reserves held reasonable and these are maintained as a contingency for future repairs
and improvements that may be required to the community centre.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply
with Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ocfoBER 2025
RESPEcfivE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that
an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 seeking explanations from the 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 and fairf 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 matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to
believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in
order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
