Hiring income**<br>**increased by approximately 20%**<br>**compared with the previous year, despite**<br>**disruption caused by major improvement**<br>**works.**<br>**Significant progress was made through**<br>**Levelling Up investment, resulting in**<br>**tangible improvements to the hall that**<br>**benefit all users. Customer retention**<br>**increased by approximately 4%,**<br>**indicating sustained demand and**<br>**satisfaction among regular hirers.**<br>**The trustees also identified and**<br>**prioritised key future projects, including**<br>**improvements to storage, heating,**<br>**windows and roof infrastructure,**<br>**ensuring a clear forward plan for**<br>**maintaining the hall’s long-term viability.**|

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|**During the year, the trustees focused on**<br>**stabilising and increasing use of Probus**<br>**Village Hall, improving facilities, and**<br>**strengthening the charity’s financial**<br>**position following a period of disruption**<br>**caused by major works.**<br>**Key achievements against these**<br>**objectives included:**|
|---|---|---|





|||•<br>**increased hall usage and**<br>**customer retention, with hiring**<br>**income continuing an upward**<br>**trend,**<br>•<br>**successful delivery of significant**<br>**improvements to the hall through**<br>**Community Levelling Up**<br>**Programme funding, enhancing**<br>**accessibility, safety and usability**<br>**for all users, and**<br>**The trustees consider that these**<br>**outcomes demonstrate positive progress**<br>**towards the charity’s objectives of**<br>**providing and maintaining a village hall**<br>**that improves the conditions of life for**<br>**the inhabitants of the Parish of Probus.**|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|**The trustees’ fundraising objective**<br>**during the year was to secure external**<br>**funding to support major capital**<br>**improvements that could not be met from**<br>**routine operating income.**<br>**This objective was achieved through the**<br>**successful securing and application of**<br>**Community Levelling Up Programme**<br>**grant funding, which enabled substantial**<br>**investment in the hall’s facilities.**<br>**Trustees consider this a significant**<br>**achievement, as it delivered long-term**<br>**benefits for users while protecting the**<br>**charity’s unrestricted funds.**<br>**In addition to grant funding, modest local**<br>**fundraising and income-generation**<br>**activities contributed to the charity’s**<br>**overall financial resilience. The trustees**<br>**remain mindful of the need to balance**<br>**fundraising activity with volunteer**<br>**capacity and proportionality.**|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|**The charity does not hold significant**<br>**investments other than modest cash**<br>**balances held to meet operational and**<br>**contingency needs. Any surplus funds**<br>**not required for immediate working**<br>**purposes are held in accordance with the**<br>**governing document.**<br>**During the year, the trustees’ objective**<br>**was to ensure that available funds were**<br>**applied effectively to further the charity’s**<br>**objects rather than to maximise financial**<br>**return. The trustees are satisfied that**<br>**funds were deployed appropriately to**<br>**support the maintenance and**<br>**improvement of Probus Village Hall, and**<br>**that this approach represents the best**<br>**outcome for the charity and its**<br>**beneficiaries.**|

## **Financial review** 

|**Financial review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**For the year ended 31 January 2025, the**<br>**charity reported total income of £95,590**<br>**(2024: £18,412) and total expenditure of**<br>**£90,737 (2024: £17,807), resulting in a**<br>**reported surplus of £65,304 for the year.**<br>**The surplus for the year was primarily**<br>**attributable to the receipt of significant**<br>**grant funding associated with the**<br>**Community Levelling Up Programme**<br>**(CLUP), which was used to deliver major**<br>**capital improvements to the hall.**<br>**Trustees note that this surplus does not**<br>**represent underlying operational profit.**<br>**Excluding grant income, the charity**<br>**generated an operational surplus of**<br>**approximately £4,853, reflecting**<br>**improved hall usage and careful cost**<br>**management despite rising energy and**<br>**wage costs.**<br>**At the year end, the charity held total**<br>**funds of £77,136 (2024: £11,852),**<br>**represented by fixed assets of £64,028**<br>**and cash balances of £11,352, net of**<br>**liabilities of £1,756.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The trustees’ policy is to maintain**<br>**sufficient unrestricted reserves to:**<br>• **meet short-term operating**<br>**commitments,**<br>• **manage cash-flow fluctuations, and**<br>• **provide resilience against**<br>**unexpected expenditure.**<br>**The trustees recognise that the charity’s**<br>**primary asset is the village hall itself and**<br>**that future capital projects (including**<br>**heating, roofing and window**<br>**replacement) remain beyond the scope of**<br>**normal operating surpluses.**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**At 31 January 2025, unrestricted reserves**<br>**stood at £77,136. Trustees consider this**<br>**level appropriate in the context of:**<br>•<br>**recent grant-funded capital**<br>**investment,**<br>•<br>**known future maintenance**<br>**requirements, and**<br>•<br>**the need to protect the charity**<br>**against rising operating costs.**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|**Not applicable. The charity does not hold**<br>**zero reserves.**|





|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|**There were no funds materially in deficit**<br>**at the end of the reporting period.**|
|---|---|---|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|**The trustees believe that the charity**<br>**remains a going concern. While rising**<br>**costs and future capital needs present**<br>**challenges, increasing usage, careful**<br>**financial management, and ongoing**<br>**fundraising and grant activity provide**<br>**confidence in the charity’s continued**<br>**operation.**|



## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|The charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising)|Para 1.47|**The charity’s principal sources of income**<br>**during the year were:**<br>•<br>**hire charges for the use of Probus**<br>**Village Hall by community groups,**<br>**voluntary organisations, charities**<br>**and other users;**<br>•<br>**grant funding, most notably**<br>**Community Levelling Up**<br>**Programme funding, received to**<br>**support major capital**<br>**improvements to the hall; and**<br>•<br>**small amounts of donations and**<br>**bank interest.**<br>**The trustees aim to maintain affordable**<br>**hire rates for community and charitable**<br>**users, while generating sufficient income**<br>**to meet running costs and contribute**<br>**towards the ongoing maintenance and**<br>**improvement of the hall.**|
|---|---|---|
|Investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>social investment policy<br>adopted|Para 1.46|**The charity does not have a formal**<br>**investment policy and does not**<br>**undertake social investment activities.**<br>**Surplus funds not required for immediate**<br>**working purposes are held in cash with**<br>**the charity’s bank, in accordance with the**<br>**governing document. The trustees’**<br>**objective is to safeguard the charity’s**<br>**funds and ensure that resources are**<br>**available to support the maintenance,**<br>**repair and improvement of Probus Village**<br>**Hall, rather than to maximise financial**<br>**return.**<br>**The trustees consider this approach**<br>**appropriate given the charity’s objects**<br>**and the need to apply funds directly for**<br>**the benefit of the community.**|
|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|**The trustees have identified the following**<br>**principal risks facing the charity:**<br>•<br>**Financial sustainability,**<br>**particularly the impact of rising**<br>**energy, utility and staffing costs**<br>**on the affordability of hall**<br>**operations.**|





|||•<br>**Future capital maintenance**<br>**requirements, including significant**<br>**projects such as heating, roofing**<br>**and window replacement, which**<br>**may require external funding.**<br>•<br>**Reliance on volunteers, as the**<br>**charity is run entirely by unpaid**<br>**trustees and helpers, creating a**<br>**risk should volunteer capacity**<br>**reduce.**<br>•<br>**Regulatory and governance risk,**<br>**including the need to maintain**<br>**appropriate financial controls,**<br>**records and compliance with**<br>**Charity Commission requirements.**<br>**These risks are mitigated through regular**<br>**financial monitoring, forward**<br>**maintenance planning, active recruitment**<br>**of trustees and volunteers, careful**<br>**governance oversight, and the pursuit of**<br>**grant funding and other income sources**<br>**where appropriate.**|

**I have examined the accounts and believe them to be a true and fair record based on the information and records provided** 


Signed by: 

**I.M. Taylor A.C.I.B. 10/3/2026** 



Notes and Adjustments 

## **1) Fixed Assets and Grants** 

Fixed asset register shows additions of £106504.17 for the year Accounts show additions of £59785.22 for the year. Accounts show a spend of £62.5k on repairs and IT. 

## _**Assumptions:**_ 

- 1) £62.5k of the grants shown un the CLUP tracker have been used for the IT and repairs. 

- 2) The remainder has been used for Fixed Asset Capex. 

- 3) The asset register as shown in the spreadsheet includes the Repairs and IT spend which has not been capita 

## _**Solution:**_ 

Grants reduced to Annual Grant from PC for insurance £                            1,150.00 Office IT spend £                          12,358.02 Repairs and Renewals £                          50,214.72 Consultancy £                            7,725.00 **New Total Grants £                         71,447.74** Existing Figure £                       132,069.50 **Removed from Grants to Grants for FA £                         60,621.76** 

## _**Further work to do - the asset register needs tidying up so the spreadsheet is the same as the accounting reg**_ 

## **2) Discrepancy between P&L Surplus and Balance Sheet Surplus** 

|Net Proft shown in P&L report|£                          65,303.67|
|---|---|
|Equity Retained earnings from BS report|£                          65,284.56|
|Diference|£                                 19.11|
|The same was true in 31/1/24||
|Net Proft shown in P&L report|£                               605.12|
|Equity Retained earnings from BS report|£                               624.23|
|Diference|-£                                 19.11|



I have shown an adjustment to bring them into line. It should disappear next year hopefully. 

## **3) Liabilites are shown as a negatve liability i.e. an asset.** 

## _**Further work to do - this needs looking at**_ 

## **4) Other income adjustment** 

|**4) Other income adjustment**|**4) Other income adjustment**|
|---|---|
|As advised by Nik Budden, Bokio other income includes £1k donaton from Chris Duton.||
|**_Soluton:_**||
|Other Income|-£                           1,000.00|
|Donatons & Grants received|£                            1,000.00|



No further work required as 2025/26 can just be apportioned correctly.
