VISCOUNTESS BARRINGTON’S TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT 2021/22
Memorial Hall lettings income (our primary income stream) slightly exceeded our budget this year, although it was still down on pre-pandemic levels. The Trust was supported financially by the Government restart grants and an enhanced grant from the Parish Council.
Activities and expenditure were greatly reduced during this year due to the reduced income, which was largely a result of uncertainty over COVID restrictions. We were pleased to see the level of usage in the hall begin to return following the lifting of restrictions in February 2022.
Work on the Sports Pavilion progressed throughout the year. Supply shortages for various building materials, including timber and steel, resulted in delays to the build. The completion date for the project was delayed until late spring 2022.
Planned work on the MUGA expansion was delayed due to delays in the processing of the application for the release of S106 funds. The order for the work was finally placed in November 2021. The project then suffered further delays due to the shortage of steel. This also had an impact on the planned installation of a new toddler slide. Both projects were delayed until Summer 2022.
A 5-year strategic plan was developed in September 2021. This was reviewed at the end of the financial year, with many plans being moved back at least a year due to financial constraints.
Plans for 2022/23 include:
-
Completion of the Sports Pavilion project – due May 2022
-
• Completion of the MUGA expansion – due May 2022
-
• Installation of new toddler slide – due May 2022

Independent Examiner’s Report
To the trustees of Viscountess Barrington Memorial Hall and Recreation Ground
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which is set out on pages 3 to 13.
Respective 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 fair 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 matter has come to my attention:
-
1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements;
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
Have not been met; or
- 2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
for the Year Ended 31st March 2022
Under the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees are required to:
-
1 Keep proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity.

In preparing those 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Charities, issued by the Charity Commission.
