DORRIDGE VILLAGE HALL ASSOCIATION Report to Trustees for the Year ended 31[st] March 2023

MAINTENANCE

This year the Main Hall required some minor electrical work which was completed this year.

Due to some very heavy rainstorms that we have experienced this past year we did have a few problems with the roof. Three in the Main Hall at the edge of the sky lights had to be releaded and the flat roof in the Foyer had to be completely replaced. All these repairs were carried out satisfactorily but have left some issues with wiring which are now on going.

Other maintenance jobs with boilers and security issues have been carried out.

The central heating thermostat in Main Hall was replaced with a programmable thermostat.

We changed our internet contract to BT for a better service and potential transition to fibre. A new router was installed in the entrance passage which will help support the security cameras. A new security monitor was put into the bar.

A 55” TV Monitor was installed permanently in the Meeting Room for the use of hirers for presentations etc.

The Meeting Room was redecorated by AJ Decor

The curtains in the Main Hall and Stage have been replaced.

New tables and trollies to store them have been ordered to replace some of the damaged ones and will be delivered next year.

We have continued to use Mopheads cleaning services and have increased the hours since Christmas in order to maintain the cleanliness that we require.

ADMINISTRATION

A loyal team have continued to administer the Dorridge Village Hall Charity for the use of the community.

We have to thank Jackie Edwards Pat Gardener, Barbara Massey, Ed Matthews, Chris Price, Bob Tabb, Jane Thompson for their efforts in keeping DVH running so efficiently throughout the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DORRIDGE VILLAGE HALL ASSOCIATION

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 15

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; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of 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.

DORRIDGE VILLAGE HALL ASSOCIATION NOTES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) issued on 16 July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The charity adopted SORP (FRS 102) in the current financial year.

(b) Incoming Resources

All incoming resources including grant income, are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income, is certain that the resources will be received, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to certain categories of income.

• Non-refundable deposits are recognised as deferred income. Income from hiring out the Hall and provision of the bar facility is recognised on the date of the hire taking place.

• Donated services and facilities are included where the value to the charity is reasonably quantifiable and measurable. They are valued in the accounts at the amount the Trustees would have been willing to pay for the services and facilities on the open market. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

(c) Resources Expended

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expense. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered, as the charity is not registered for VAT and it is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

• 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.

10

DORRIDGE VILLAGE HALL ASSOCIATION

NOTES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (cont’d)

• Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examiner’s fees.

• All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis as set out in Note 4.

(d) Fund accounting

Funds held by the charity are either:-

• (i) Unrestricted general funds – these are funds without specified purpose and are available as general funds.

• (ii) Designated funds – these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.

• (iii) Restricted funds – these are funds which can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Transfers between funds are made to cover deficits on individual restricted funds and to recognise fixed assets acquired with restricted income, but with no further restrictions on use, within unrestricted funds.

(e) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their anticipated useful lives. It is applied at the following rates:

Leasehold property	-	over 35 years or the remaining period of the lease
New Build Extension	-	over 25 years or the remaining period of the lease
Improvements to leasehold property -		over 18 years or the remaining period of the lease
Fixtures and fittings	-	20% straight line

Fixed assets costing less than £500 are not capitalised.
