According to the Trust, the Committee comprises 12 members , with four appointed each year to serve three-year terms. Appointments are made by election at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) . Casual vacancies arising during the year are filled for the remainder of the original term , and additional members may be co-opted by the Committee as required. The Committee currently has two vacancies .

The Town Hall is a member of Community First , and the Wiltshire Village Halls Association , which provide advice and support as needed. It is also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) .

Policies and procedures are a standing agenda item at each Committee meeting, as are any health and safety matters arising between meetings. Copies of the Health & Safety Manual are available in each kitchen and provided to all hirers as part of the booking process.

The Fire Risk Assessment is reviewed annually, and the Town Hall carries out regular checks on key services, including:

A five-year Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) was last completed on 25 July 2022 for the Town Hall and 27 July 2022 for the Old Weighbridge, both with satisfactory outcomes.

The Town Hall Committee maintains appropriate insurance to cover its property and assets.

Section B – Objects and Activities

Objects

The objects of the Charity, as set out in the Trust Deed, are:

“to permit the Town Hall to be used as a non-sectarian and non-political place of recreation and social intercourse and for the holding of meetings, concerts, dances or other forms of entertainment, as a Petty Sessional Court or for any other purpose for which a Town Hall is usually or may conveniently be used, and generally for the advantage or benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Cricklade.”

The Town Hall Committee continues to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. The primary activity remains the

provision of the Town Hall for hire to groups and individuals whose activities are consistent with the Charity’s stated objectives.

Facilities & Charging Structure

Cricklade Town Hall offers flexible and well-equipped facilities comprising a Main Hall and an Annexe , which may be hired separately or together. Both are self-contained, each with its own kitchen and toilet facilities. The Main Hall features a large, raised stage , suitable for concerts, performances, and community events. A Committee Room is also available for independent hire.

The Town Hall charges for use of its facilities on an hourly basis , with a 20% discount available where the hire falls into one of the following categories:

Hirers who sell alcohol pay an additional fee for use of the Town Hall’s Premises Licence . This charge is lower than the cost of a Temporary Event Notice and saves hirers the time and effort of making a separate application.

Bookings

The Town Hall remained open throughout the financial year. Bookings fell by 8% compared with the previous year, representing the lowest level in the past four years .

The Main Hall and Annexe continue to be heavily used, while the Committee Room remains less frequently booked.

Analysis of bookings by day of the week indicates that Saturday and Sunday usage was significantly lower than in the previous year.

Measuring occupancy precisely is difficult for a facility such as ours, but when expressed as the proportion of days in the year on which at least one room was hired, occupancy was as follows:

Days on which one of our rooms is hired 88% (93% 92%)
Main Hall 81% (85% 82%)
Annexe 65% (69% 69%)
Committee Room 8% ( 6% 9%)

Across the year, the premises hosted an average of 2.3 hirers per occupied day (compared with 2.4 and 2.3 in the previous two financial years). Although the reduction in overall usage is a concern, the trustees note a recent upturn in bookings and will continue to monitor trends closely during the next financial period.

Nature of Bookings

Bookings from 23 different local businesses and organisations , each accounting for five or more bookings during the year demonstrate the wide range of community activities supported by the Charity. These regular hirers represented 77.5% of the total invoiced value of bookings, which showed a significant increase from 71% in the previous year.

A detailed schedule of current hirers, listed in order of their financial contribution for 2024–2025, is set out below.

Summary

The Town Hall fulfils its charitable objects daily by providing well-maintained community facilities available to the public throughout the year. Demand for the premises remains strong, particularly among local organisations and residents.

The Charity’s hiring policy ensures that facilities are made available on a non-sectarian and non-political basis, with priority given —where appropriate—to users with a local connection .

Section C – Achievements and Performance

Planned Project Activities

Each year, the Charity aims to invest in its facilities and allocates a specific budget for this purpose. The project budget for 2023–2024 was set at £10,000 , and this allocation was maintained for 2024–2025 .

During the reporting year, the Trustees undertook several significant projects, intentionally exceeding the approved budget.

In October 2024, Diamond Exteriors replaced all guttering, downpipes, fascias, and soffits across the building—approximately 112 metres in total —using new PVC materials. The work also incorporated roof ventilation improvements and remedied a long-standing drainage issue on the flat roof.

In November 2024 , the same contractor installed new cladding to the south-facing apex of the main building.

Further exterior work took place in March 2025 , when 20 failed double-glazed window units were replaced together with several new interior window handles .

That same month, the entire exterior was repainted with a breathable masonry paint in the Town Hall’s standard magnolia colour. Together with the roof-tile cleaning completed the previous year , these works have left the exterior in excellent condition for many years ahead.

In addition to the above, two internal projects were completed:

The total cost of all project work during the year amounted to £21,844 , more than double the original budget allocation.

Maintenance

Given the heavy use of the Town Hall’s facilities, continual maintenance and minor improvements are essential to address normal wear and tear. Encouragingly, unlike the previous year, no major damage or incidents attributable to hirers required attention.

Several smaller maintenance and improvement works were completed during 2024–2025, including:

  1. Replacement of several storeroom light fittings.

  2. Cleaning and battery replacement for the Annexe doorbell, restoring it to full working order.

  3. Replacement and upgrading of CCTV cameras—one repositioned to widen coverage of the car park, one installed inside the Annexe, and another overlooking the Annexe side facing the Old Weighbridge.

  4. Installation of outdoor electrical sockets , one beside the Annexe gate and another inside a large storage shed.

  5. Repair of the Annexe heating timer, using salvaged parts from the Committee Room timer.

  6. Installation of coloured exterior lighting to illuminate the apex and architectural features.

  7. Fitting of a large water butt between the two halls in March 2025 , enabling Cricklade Bloomers to water nearby floral displays more easily, complete with a simple lever-style tap.

  8. Installation of a new electrical circuit in the Annexe kitchen to address a recurring RCD tripping issue.

  9. Adjustment of the stable door in the kitchen to ensure smooth operation.

The Town Hall is indebted to all the volunteers who assist with upkeep, and particularly to Tim Norman , the Trustee responsible for building maintenance, for his expertise and oversight of these works.

Administrative Matters

At the most recent Annual General Meeting, Paul Hewer, Tim Norman , and Beverley Williams were reelected to the Committee, and Jane Holloway was newly elected.

Although the year began with a full complement of trustees, Amy Thomson and Alan Armstrong subsequently resigned following their moves away from Cricklade. The Trustees express their thanks for the valuable contribution both made to the management of the Town Hall. These two vacancies remain unfilled , and the Committee intends to prioritise recruitment in the coming year.

The Town Hall could not operate effectively without a committed management committee. The Trustees collectively shoulder the responsibilities of running a registered charity, and the Committee wishes to record its sincere thanks to all members for their time and dedication in serving both the Charity and the wider community.

Special recognition is also due to our staff:

Together, they form an excellent team , supporting hirers, maintaining smooth operations, and safeguarding the reputation and condition of the Town Hall. The Trustees are extremely grateful for their ongoing commitment and professionalism.

Section D – Financial Review

This section sets out the charity’s financial results for the year and the Trustees’ approach to managing reserves, investments, and hiring charges. The Trustees continue to take a prudent and long-term view of the Town Hall’s finances, balancing the need for ongoing reinvestment in the facilities with the careful stewardship of funds.

Operating Results

The Town Hall made an operating loss in the year of £6,217 , the first such loss in the past ten years. This outcome, however, is not a cause for concern , reflecting instead the Trustees’ conscious decision to deliver a number of significant capital projects during the year. Had expenditure remained within the original project budget of £10,000, the Town Hall would once again have achieved an operating surplus.

More concerning, though not requiring immediate action, is the decline in hiring income . At £28,434 , this represents only 89% of the annual budget and a reduction of £6,054 compared with the previous year. This shortfall reflects a reduction in the number of bookings, as noted earlier in this report.

In overall financial terms, the Town Hall remains in a strong position , with cash balances exceeding £168,000 and working capital of just under £43,000 at year-end.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees reviewed the reserves policy during the year and confirmed the following designated reserves as at 30th September 2025 :

Representing funds invested in the Cambridge & Counties Bank and United Trust Bank deposit accounts, which have been nominally allocated to this reserve.

• Safety Inspections – £2,000

The last inspections were carried out in 2022 at a cost of £1,560. Allowing for inflation over a five-year period, the Trustees consider £2,000 an appropriate amount to set aside for the next round of inspections due in 2027.

• Asset Replacement – £18,110

This represents the estimated replacement cost of 120 conference-style chairs, 100 bucket-style poly chairs, 42 premier Go-Pak tables, and 10 bistro-style tables. The reserve will be reviewed next year against an updated specification.

As the cost of unforeseen major events is inherently uncertain, the Trustees continue to take a prudent approach by maintaining a reserve of £25,000. This amount is reviewed annually.

Investment Review

The Trustees’ investment policy continues to prioritise low-risk deposits . Funds held with Cambridge & Counties Bank, United Trust Bank, Redwood Bank, Lloyds Bank (32-day notice account, instant access account, and current account) all remain protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) .

Given the current high inflation and interest rate environment, the Trustees regularly review all deposit arrangements. A recent decision has been taken to move part of our instant access funds from Lloyds Bank to a comparable account with Hampshire Trust Bank , offering a better return while maintaining capital security.

Hiring Charges

Despite ongoing cost pressures, the Management Committee has agreed not to increase hiring charges from 1st January 2026 . The position will be kept under regular review to ensure future sustainability.

Cricklade Town Hall Registered Charity No. 305499

CRICKLADE TOWN HALL

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1) Where a charity’s annual income is over £25,000, the Trustees must arrange for an independent person or accountancy firm to carry out either an audit or an independent examination of the Charity's accounts.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

2) The accounting provisions have been set in line with the Charity's Reserves Policy.

3) Cricklade Town Hall own two properties, the values of which are not incorporated into the annual accounts. Their insurance value, as at 16th February 2025 is however stated for information purposes:

Both the Town Hall and the Old Weighbridge were valued on an open market basis as at 25th September 2017

PREPARED BY

Accounts prepared by the Treasurer, David Tetlow, 1 Pleydells, Cricklade, Wiltshire, SN6 6NG

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

It is my responsibility to:

1) examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,

2) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and

3) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
