CRONDALL VILLAGE HALL

Governance and Trustees

Crondall village Hall was established as a charity by a Trust Deed dated 1923 The object of the charity is the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions, including use for:

The Village Hall Management Committee is responsible for keeping the building in a good state of repair. As such they are responsible for the raising of appropriate funds to ensure the Village Hall is maintained fit for purpose in accordance with the Trust Deed.

Appointment of Trustees

The Trust Deed governs the appointment of trustees and the management of the charity. All trustees whether elected or appointed by organisations entitled to a representative retire at the end of their 3-year term at the Annual General Meeting

Established in 1923, Crondall Village Hall is a community asset held on a charitable trust and managed by a committee of volunteers.

The trustees also form the Management Committee of the Village Hall which has the power to co-opt a maximum of 4 additional trustees during the year.

Current Trustees

Simon Crowther, Patricia Sharpe, Owen Durrett and Barrie Cheeseman

H iring of the Hall

Besides the furtherance of the charitable objectives, it is also important that the Crondall Village Hall shows that it is also providing public benefit, whilst still achieving its objectives.

The public benefit derived from the activities of the Village Hall includes:

Whilst the public benefit is available to anyone, as there are few bars to usage of the hall, a charge to cover costs is made, and a discount provided for local Crondall Village users. Analysis shows these fees are not higher than for other Halls in the area, and so these fees do not represent an unreasonable restriction to access to the hall.

Use of the village hall is subject to a Hiring Agreement which must be signed by the hirer when booking. The hiring agreement sets out the conditions of hire and identifies the respective responsibilities of each party to the agreement.

The Village Hall is also available on hire to commercial undertakings, particularly those that provide a service to the local community. In this context, the Village Hall provides facilities for Keep Fit for the Over 50s, various types of Dance Classes, including Ballet, Tango, and the disabled, Dog Training, Children’s and Adult Parties and Wedding Receptions.

Income

Income, for the maintenance of the Village Hall is mainly derived from the hiring of the Main Hall and the Meeting Room and holding other occasional events which benefit both the Hall and other local community groups, public donations along with Lottery and Grant Aid. We also put on our our fundraising events

Achievements in 2022

We are still recovering from Covid 19 virus lockdown and our income is still 40% below its pre-pandemic peak, however the hall has been able to have access to several grant monies which has enabled us to further develop its facilities. We have:-

Regular Hire Bookings are returning slowly, this will enable us to ensure our funds are maintained and the hall remains financially sustainable. These and our future events are also important community wide activities that can be enjoyed by all residents and help to maintain and increase our sense of community identity.

Section B Disclosure

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).

Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .

An examination includes 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
