## **ARDLEIGH VILLAGE HALL REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 301234 TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022**
## **Governance**
The governing document is a scheme dated 10[th] March 1980 and minutes dated 26[th] April 1993.
The charity is a village hall, to be used predominately by residents of Ardleigh for recreational, social, educational and wellbeing purposes. The charity operates entirely for public benefit.
Ardleigh Parish Council is the sole trustee of the charity
## **Activities for the year 2021/22**
Ardleigh Village Hall attracts a wide range of user groups of all ages, who use the Hall for various activities including social, recreation, education and exercise purposes, catering for everyone from the very young to the elderly.
The pre-school has been able to operate throughout the year but there have been periods when the hall had to close because of pandemic lockdown requirements. The trustees and hirers had to adapt to the ever-changing COVID guidance, at different times in the year, and we are grateful to everyone for enabling us to operate safely.
## **Accounts for the year 2021/22**
It has been another challenging year with various lockdown closures and changing guidance on operations. Regular hiring’s are slowly increasing to pre-pandemic levels. We received COVID restart grants from Tendring Council and Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grants which have helped to cover our costs. We were also awarded a COVID Community Building Fund grant which was used to purchase new Audio-Visual equipment, furniture, fogging machines and associated PPE to improve COVID security and enable hybrid meetings to take place at the hall. There was a surplus this year of £3334.22 (previous year £815.65).
## **Risk Areas and Risk Management**
The risks associated with COVID19 will continue to be monitored as we enter the autumn and winter months. And rising fuel costs will present a new challenge. Unrestricted cash reserves of £18217.18 are held at the year-end which represents over 10 months running costs. In addition, the charity has investments that could be realised if needed. The trustee is confident that these are sufficient to meet the charities ongoing commitments.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ardleigh Village Hall for the year ended 31st March 2022
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
