The lease from Waverley Borough Council for the tennis courts on Coxcombe Lane Recreation Ground is also held by Chiddingfold Parish Council, nominally for the Charity.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF THE CHIDDINGFOLD VILLAGE HALL AND RECREATION GROUND CHARITY
In accordance with the provisions of s.145 of the Charities Act 2011, I have examined the receipts and payments accounts and statement of assets and liabilities of the Chiddingfold Village Hall Charity relating to the year ended 31st March 2025.
This examination did not extend to a comprehensive audit of such accounts or statement. I confirm that the accounts and statement accord with the accounting records of the Charity and that such records satisfy the requirements of the Act.
I am not aware of any matter to which attention needs to be drawn in order to obtain a proper understanding of the accounts.
