The Trust is Registered with the Charities Commission, Registered Charity Number 301656 and operated under a Trust Deed made on 30[th] June 1948 with the purpose of

We can confirm that the above purposes are being maintained through a committee which extends to include representation from organisations using the Hall on a regular basis, together with other co-opted members of the community who work closely to maintain a vibrant and well used community asset.
The accompanying Minutes of the AGM held in November 2021, and the Treasurer’s Report should be read in conjunction with this report to illustrate the activities during the year, the current financial position of the Trust and future plans, in particular the Skatepark, and Football Clubhouse extension.
## **Coronavirus Pandemic**
At the time of writing, January 2022, the Hall’s activities are slowly coming back following the impact of the Coronavirus Covid-19 Pandemic
The Trust has benefited from government support through the Forest of Dean District Council with further grants of £17, 669 which is providing much needed financial support in place of the regular income normally received. It is possible a further grant is available in respect of the Omicron virus impact and the initial application has been made to the Council accordingly.
For and on behalf of the Trustees
Mark Lightbound

Published Accounts 2021 06/07/2022
I am reporting on the accounts of Woolaston Memorial Hall and Playing Field Fund (registered charity number 301656) for the year ended 30[th] September 2021 which are set out on the following page and show a Net Surplus for the year of £12,517 and Accumulated Funds of £40,496.
## Respective Responsibilities Of Trustees and Examiner.
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ( ‘’the Act’’)
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to :
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act
- to follow the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5) (b) of the act and
- to state whether matters have come to my attention
## Basis Of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the 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 Examiners Statement.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect.
- Accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 0r
- The accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn, in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
