WEST MONKTON VILLAGE HALL ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31ST MARCH 2024

West Monkton Village Hall, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, Somerset, is a charity registered with the Charity Commissioners (L2/304670/1) and constituted by a scheme dated 4th December 1980.

The charity is administered by a management committee comprising:Acting Chairman Mr Raymond Tully Secretary Vacant Treasurer David Bell Booking Officer (Honorary Position) Ian Pitchfork Hall Manager (Honorary Position) Ian Pitchfork

All members are as given on page 3

Appointments to the Committee during the year:- Ian Pitchfork Retirements during the year:- None

The Honorary Members are NOT Trustees. Independent Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting and can be co-opted during the year at a Management Committee Meeting. The other Trustees are appointed as representatives of the Users of the Hall. Tony Raymond is an Organisation Representative who may occasionally attend Committee Meetings but has declined to become a Trustee so he does not have a vote.

Kim Cooper remains our appointed cleaner and Simon Cooper attends once a week to polish all the floor areas. David Bell our Treasurer, who is self-employed, has kept books and records during the year from which the accounts have been prepared. Honoraria has been paid to the Honorary Members of our Committee, as detailed on page 3, as a token of our appreciation of their continued support during the year.

The Bankers are Lloyds Bank Plc, Taunton.

The object of the Charity is the provision and maintenance of a Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of West Monkton with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. The aim of the Committee is to provide first class facilities at an affordable cost. The Charity continues to work for the public good and provide facilities for a diverse range of activities and organisations. Activities include:- Pilates and fitness classes, Badminton, Drama, Circus Skills and Table Tennis. Organisations include WI, Brownies, Photography Group, Hardy Plant Society, SW Orchids, Model Railway, Art Group, Model Trams.

We had a slow start to the year but with the new booking system in place since January 2023 we have seen an increase in local bookings for birthday parties and baby showers all helping to turn into surplus.

The financial year ended with the Receipts and Payments Account for the year showing a operating cash surplus of £8626 compared to deficit of £4027 in the previous year as follows:-

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

OF WEST MONKTON VILLAGE HALL

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records

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.
