|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
A very well attended AGM for the previous year ending 31stMay, was held in in July. This was the first AGM held as soon as possible at the end of the Charity Year for a number of years. Though it was well attended and well received no new trustees were elected. Using grant funding where possible and our repair budget we continued our repair and renovation project. We had the hall stage floor renovated bringing it back to a pristine condition and renewed the surfacing on the hall floor. We improved the sanitary arrangements in the toilets. We replaced the alarm system and installed cameras facing the entrances. We moved on with the renovation of the Committee room, renaming it as the Room of Requirement, having previously stripped the walls and begun redecoration as well as having the windows and external door replaced. In addition, we widened the entrance to allow disabled access. We installed infra-red heating on the ceiling of this room. Recognising that our tables were reaching the end of their usefulness we purchased replacement tables. We received a grant for Hepa air filters and purchased 5 of these. We have broadened our hirer base reaching a wider more disparate used base. We held a memorial event for a deceased community leader, Terry Cutmore that was well attended. We also set up a condolences book on the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh. During Covid we moved community events such as Halloween and Santa’s Grotto outside. Being able to go inside our Observance of Remembrance Sunday was well attended, drawing the largest crowd we have had for many years. |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE ASHINGDON & EAST HAWKWELL VILLAGE HALL
I am reporting on the accounts for the year ended 31st May 2022 which are set out on pages 3 to 6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with requirements of the Charities Act 2011. (the Act)
It is my responsibility to:
report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination inclues 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 represent 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 41 of the 1993 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act, have not been met: or
2) which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
