During the pandemic the Hall was fortunate to be made available to several grants which enabled us to keep the cleaning & caretaking staff employed therefore ensuring Covid19 safety measures were met.

The Main Hall and Annexe is used by the regular hire groups as shown above and is hired at other times by various groups, for Weddings, Birthdays, Dances, Children's parties etc. thus providing a local venue where the community can gather together.

The Hawkwell Village U3A hold their monthly meetings at the hall on the 4th Thursday of the month.

The Hall and Annexe has access for wheelchairs, is well run and kept in an excellent state of repair with all windows and outside doors are of UVPC double glazed standard helping to keep down maintenance costs.

The Hall having had LED panels installed makes a big to the brightness in the Hall and hopefully a saving in the electricity cost.

The Hall and Annexe have been passed by the Area Fire officer and both the Hall and the Annexe have a linked Fire Alarm system in place.

The Hall and Annexe are kept warm during the winter period with large gas heaters, the Main Hall is having 3 new heaters installed. All heaters are serviced yearly and have a Carbon Monoxide alarm fitted in the area's where they are situated.

There is a Hearing Loop System installed in the Hall which can be used for lectures, talks etc.

The hall gets many inquiries from its own web site and email, which shows availability in the current month and information for future bookings for both the Main Hall and Annexe.

The Hall has been in existence for fifty eight years, given its Charity registration in 1963 and opened in Feb 1964 and still used by the local and surrounding communities.

HAWKWELL VILLAGE HALL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 September 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006/Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The effects of events relating to the year ended 30 September 2021 which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 30 September 2021 and the results for the year ended on that date.

Hawkwell Village Hall meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s)

1.2 Income

Hall donations are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the period of hire has actually taken place. Deposits and payments in advance are shown within creditors.

Grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities on the earlier date of when they are received or when they are receivable, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are included in creditors on the Balance Sheet as a grant received in advance to be recognised in the future accounting period.

1.3 Tangible Fixed Assets

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance

Land and buildings are initially valued at cost and subsequently shown in the accounts at fair value and revalued based on an estimate given by the Trustees. The revaluation of the premises is kept separate in an unrealised unrestricted reserve.

1.4 Restricted funds

Restricted funds are to be used for the purposes specified by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is attributed to the fund.

1.5 Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the Trust without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 September 2021

1.6 Creditors and provisions

Are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Trade debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.10 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The charity is considered a going concern. Adequate funding has been achieved to facilitate the charities objectives and activities for the next 12 months. There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
