BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedure to manage them: The Trustees have examined the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have adequate insurance in place to mitigate those risks. Gas and electrical systems are inspected at appropriate intervals. Reviews of Health and Safety (including First Aid and fire precautions) are carried out regularly, and the Play Area is inspected annually by an appropriate external body. In addition, the halls are licensed with the local authority for the times and types of usage and for the sale of alcohol.
Objectives and activities
In planning the charity’s activities, the Trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The objective of the charity is, in the interests of social welfare, to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions by the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time activities.
The main regular activities during the year included Age UK (Seated exercise), Badminton, Lydeard Stitchers, Short Mat Bowls, Ballet (children), Stagestruck Theatre School (children), Drama (all ages), Friendly Club (over 55’s), Zumba, Karate, Pilates, Table Tennis, Tai Chi, Rainbows (Children), Slimming World (ceased during the year), a Baby Sensory group, an NHS group for older persons with mental health problems, and Kings Church Quantocks. There is also a weekly coffee morning organised by the Community Council for Somerset aimed at older persons and providing advice on a range of matters. The Annexe continues in use by Green Days Day Care who provide services for learning disabled adults.
The halls are also used for social events organised by the Management Committee and are booked by individuals and local groups for presentations, parties, events, meetings, and training sessions. Several blood donor sessions are held each year, and the halls are also used for elections.
In the grounds there is a large Play Area with a range of play equipment for children, and a Youth Shelter.
Part of the outside area is leased to the Parish Council which built and manages a Multi-use Games Area.
Grant making policy: The Trustees make no grants.
Achievements and performance
Usage of the halls: Group bookings continue at a satisfactory level, and the number of one-off bookings remains high.

Hall and grounds maintenance
As reported in previous years, the Management Committee has put more work out to contract. However, volunteers continue to carry out rubbish collection, some of the non-specialist maintenance and a variety of administration tasks and once more we wish to thank them.
We continue to have sub-committees for detailed work on:
-
Plans and Grants
-
Fundraising
Fundraising Due to the loss of several Trustees (who resigned for a variety of personal reasons), we were able to run only a small number of our regular events (Easter Prize Bingo, Xmas Prize Bingo and the refreshments at Lydeard House Open Garden in June), and this resulted in our raising less for the Improvement Fund than in normal times.
Flower Show and Fete: The Flower Show was held in the Village Hall and was another success, but it it was not possible to organise the Fete for the reasons given above.
Prize Draw: The prize draw remained suspended in the aftermath of Covid-19.
Hall developments
We planned to replace a major piece of equipment for young children in the Play Park and applied to Awards for All and the Parish Council for financial help towards the scheme. The Parish Council was very supportive and gave £10,000 towards the project but our application was rejected by Awards for All. We will be reviewing our application and applying again to Awards for All. We hope to proceed with the project in 2025
Our car park was being used as a free place to leave vehicles for long periods, often denying parking space for hall users. We therefore decided to restrict parking to 5 hours (with exemptions where appropriate) by installing an ANPR camera operated by a car park management company. This necessitated planning permission, which was granted, and the system was started up on 1[st] January 2025.
Green Days Day Care, our users of the Annexe, were switching to electric vehicles for their vans, so we have installed an EV charger and electricity meter in the Annexe for their use.
The roof of the MUGA storeroom was leaking badly and has been replaced.
Communications and publicity: The committee plans to resume publishing and distributing regular newsletters to every house in the village as soon as possible, but has maintained a web site that can be accessed either directly or via the Parish Council web site. You can visit us at www.bishopslydeardvillagehall.co.uk and follow us on Facebook at ‘Bishops Lydeard Village Hall Official Site’
Maynards: There was no change of tenant during the year.
Hallmark scheme: The hall is a member of the Community Council for Somerset’s Hallmark scheme.
Other matters: The Village Hall is registered as a Place of Safety with the Somerset Local Authority Civil Contingency Partnership for use in the event of a major civil incident, and a Blood Kit has been installed beside the defibrillator that is sited outside between the Village Hall and the Annexe.

BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Financial review
-
Revenue and cost reporting. Revenue, costs and bank balances are reported at every Village Hall Management Committee (VHMC) meeting.
-
Hiring rates. Hiring rates are normally reviewed annually with the aim of covering expected normal running costs plus a contingency. In exceptional circumstances rates might be reviewed more frequently. In view of there having been no increase in hiring rates since Covid-19 epidemic the committee decided to increase hiring rates by 12% for 2024
-
Loans . Policy is not to borrow any money.
-
Projects for the improvement of the Village Hall and grounds. Projects are approved in advance by the VHMC based on at least 3 quotations for projects totalling over £10,000 and only proceed if grants have been approved for any costs not being covered from available hall funds. For projects between £1,000 and £10,000 2 quotations are required and for any project under £1,000 one quotation is acceptable.
-
Urgent abnormal expenditure. Costs up to £500 may be approved by any two of the Chair, Vicechair, Treasurer and Secretary. Costs in excess of £500 can be approved by contacting and getting the approval of at least 50% of the VHMC members.
-
Reserves. For running costs, the charity aims to keep a reserve of 3 months normal costs. For Maynards, the policy is to keep at least 50% of one year’s normal annual income in reserve against maintenance and repair costs, and the costs that arise from changes of tenant. In total, this year’s reserves for running costs and the Maynards property amounts to £12,000 including an addition with the acquisition of the Annexe.
However, at 31 December 2024 the charity’s free reserves were £35,743 (2023: £33,115). Any additional reserves are intended to fund appropriate hall improvement projects in the next year. The Trustees intend to build on these reserves, through fundraising events and grant funding to finance future projects.
-
Bank balances. Bank balances are monitored monthly. Currently, interest rates are low, and the balances held do not warrant use of interest-bearing accounts; if either of these situations changes, the policy will be reviewed.
-
Grants. The charity does not make grants to any other bodies.
Threat of major gas and electricity price increases
The Village Hall has some protection in the medium term by reason of the length of current contracts, and providing that the current suppliers remain in business. However, we have set up a project to explore ways of minimising electricity and gas usage, using more efficient equipment, and installing energy creating systems.
However, we cannot exclude the possibility of raising our hiring rates to cover any significant increase in costs.

Trustees Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Declaration
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts for Bishops Lydeard Village Hall and Playing Field (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).
I 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 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not comply with these records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair view” which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
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 charity meets the definition of public benefit under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
Funds
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Income
Voluntary income, including donations and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where services or assets are donated to the charity and these can be reliably estimated to have value to the charity, the value of the donation is included in the accounts as income.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract.
Income from government grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Where no conditions are attached to the grant income they are recognised within donations and grants and where conditions relating to performance of services are attached, grant income is recognised in income from charitable activities within the Statement of Financial Activities.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount.
-10-
BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Cash and bank in hand
investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fixed assets/ Depreciation
Fixed assets are included at their cost to the charity or valuation, where the valuation is in excess of the cost or the asset is donated.
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Fixtures and fittings 20% straight line basis Property improvements 5% straight line basis Property (excluding land) 5% straight line basis
Creditors
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 recognised at the settlement amount.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is not liable to corporation tax or capital gains tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. The charity is not VAT registered. All income and expenditure is gross of VAT where applicable.
Financial instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements are as follows:
Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
