I report on the accounts of the L

2024, which are set out in this document.
Respective responslbilities of tèustees and examlner
The charitws trustees are respdnsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not reqiuired for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts lunder sectlon 145 of the 2011 Act);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission {under sectlon 145(5)Ibl of the 2011 Act). and,
To state whether partic
lar matters have come to my attention.
Bas15 of Independent examlnerfs report
My examination was carried oyt in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination irtbcludes a revlew of the accountlng records kept by the charity and
by 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 the trustees concernlng
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required under an audit and coDsequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present
'fair and true, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

HISTORY. OBJEcfivES AND A
IVITIES OF THE LLOYD HALL
The Lloyd Hall commemorates
the land that now constitutes
banking, corn-merchant and br
known as Brown's Hill Farm, of
been built in the 1850s. He ad
acquiring Burstow Park and its
he Lloyd family who, for nearly a hundred years, owned most of
utwood parish. Alfred Lloyd (1845-1919) came from a family with
wing connections. In 1875 he bought the modest estate previously
some 250 acres, on which a country house called Harewoods had
ed to this property steadily over the next 20 or 30 years, notably
ommons in 1889, until he had some 2,000 acres.
His son Theodore {1872-1959)
by Millers Lane, Wasp Green La
of Outwood in 1938, and built
room provided by his father fo
openin8 ceremony in Februa
assoclation wlth the Natlonal
purpose of the betterment of v
ontinued to acqulre land, including in 1925 the triangle bounded
ne and Brickfield Road. A parcel of this land he gave to the village
hall on it which he also gave to the village. This replaced a parish
y years earlier. Sir Jeremiah Colman of Gatton Park performed the
1938, when Mr Lloyd explained that the hall had been built in
ouncll of Social Service, an institution founded in 1919 "for the
Ilage life by the bullding of village halls"
In 2014 Lloyd Hall was demolished and a new hall opened on January 312015. Since the hall's
opening there has been signifi
ant interest amon8 previous and new hirers and we have seen a
gradual growth in the monthly
iring revenue. The key role of the hall continues to be a place for
the residents of Outwood to
eet and we are delighted that in addition to the regular coffee
mornings, the hall now hosts a
egular film night as well as a broader range of activities such as tea
dances, Pilates, and meditation
classes.
The Lloyd Hall has provided a I
village of Outwood for over 80

organisations, including the Wo
cal venue for social, sporting and educatlonal activities within the
years. It is the site for the annual Outwood Village Show, whlch
society competitions. It is used regularly by many village

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The accounts for the year ended December 2024 show an operating deficit of £4,350, being the
net of £30,500 receipts and operating expenditure of £34,849. The largest single contribution to
operating income was revenue from private lettings, which contributed £16,243 for the year. The
next most significant source of Iincome was regular hirers usin8 the hall for dance and education,
and provided income of £10,313. Coffee mornings continued to be very popular and contributed
£1,763 to income.
Significant items of operating expenditure included cleaning (£7,479), gas for heating (LPG)
(£6,346), water (£6,113) and rejpairs & maintenance1£5,1121. The high water bill reflects a leak
resolved during the year- the costs of which were reclaimed under the Hall's insurance policy. As
a result of overpayments, we mpintain a high credit balance with the water provider, for which we
seek repayment.
Re8arding non-operational inoome, the hall received a generous donatlon of £3,650 from
Shoestring and 'Fundraising' of £1,773 from the sale of flapjacks and a New Year's event. The 50/50
club provided a net income of £,1,260 for the year (£570 was paid after 2024 year end, as adjusted
for as a reduction for 2024 Surplus). We are also deeply grateful for a generous donation that Is
being made each month by one of our village residents. Interest income at the bank totalled £286.
Takin8 operating and non-oper•ting items tO8ether, the hall made a profit of £4,840. The surplus
(being the sum of all bank accounts less any contingent liabilities) at the end of 2023 was £48,178.
After providing for liabilities payable in 2025 (£570 for 50/50 and £789 for deposits paid in 2024
for hirings in 2025), the net surplus shown in the 2024 accounts was £54,374.
While the trustees do not have a formal policy about the level of reserves retained, the objectlve
is for operatin8 income to broadlly meet operatin8 expenditures. This is monitored at each meetin8,
particularly regarding income and expenditure relative to comparable points in the prior year.
We are pleased that notwithstaAding the loss of one of our major hires this year, we have attracted
new regular hires to the hall, sppcifically a dog training group and a new Pilates group.
Full detalls of the Income and, expendlture and year-end balances for the bank accounts are
provided in the Appendix.

STATFMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which
show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that
period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
Select suitable accountimg policies and then apply them consistently
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended
practice have been followed subject to any 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 operational existence.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the finan¢ial position of the charlty and to enable them to ensure that the
financial statements comply with the Charities Acts 1993 and 2011. They are also responsible for
safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for takin8 reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irrpgularities.
