CROWLE PARISH HALL AND RECREATION TRUST
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
INTRODUCTION
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report and the unaudited, independently reviewed, financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.
LEGAL STATUS
The charity is a charitable trust, administered by the trustees in accordance with the Governing document dated 29 November 2000, amended 2020. It is registered with the Charity Commission number 509414. The registered address is Crowle Parish Hall, Church Road, Crowle, Worcester, WR7 4AZ
OBJECTIVES
The object of the charity is, in the interests of social welfare, to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions by the provision and maintenance of a village hall for use by the inhabitants, including use for:
-
a) (i) meetings, lectures and classes, and
-
(ii) other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation, and
-
b) a recreation ground for use by the inhabitants
In setting the Charity's objectives and planning its activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on providing recreational facilities.
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
The Trustees are pleased to provide an overview of the activities related to the Crowle Parish Hall during the financial year ending 31 March 2022. This financial year has again been dominated by the Coronavirus Pandemic, resulting in the closure of the hall for part of the year except for the Preschool. The controls implemented the previous year to provide as safe as possible environment were continually reviewed against guidance and changed as necessary. The covid restriction reduced the opportunities for hiring which had a negative impact, but grants have been received which have helped to balance this effect.
The ongoing maintenance of the hall, particularly when not in use has remained a priority of the Committee and its new Hall Manager.
Although not having an impact on this financial year, the Crowle Community Wellbeing project new building on the Parish Hall site has progressed from its inception and concept stages in the previous year. This is a collaborative project with the Parish Council, who are the lead for the whole project. Following consultation with a VAT consultant, their advice was taken and the building contract was contracted by the Trust. The finance for this is being provided from the project funding secured by the Parish Council. This arrangement is covered in a legal agreement between the parties. Progress on the project has been rapid with finance being secured in the summer of 2021 followed by legal agreements and work starting on site in the Autumn. The building is due to be completed and opening for hires on 11 July 2022. Looking forward to the next financial year the new building, named Platinum Hall, will add to both the expenditure and income of the Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The hire income rceived across the 2021/22 financial year was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic with losses offset by government grants the hall was eligible for. This position coupled with tight management of costs enabled the hall to post a surplus. On balance financially, with the benefit of grants and mitigating actions we are largely where we would expect to be in a normal operating year.
Following the success of the Hall Manager undertaking the cleaning during the part of theCoronavirus Pandemic restrictions, the Hall Manager hours were increased to cover the cleaning. This has proved to be very successful with the quality of cleaning increased and flexible timings to suit hirers and the Hall Manager.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
I report on the unaudited accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 4 to 7.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
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.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
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 :
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 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.

The Capital reserve represents funds received specifically for the construction of the existing hall, and for the new hall which is currently under construction.
The Renewal Reserve exists to cover the cost of maintaining the building, its fixtures, fittings and equipment. It also holds funds to cover any required works to the car park and related external areas. It is increased annually by £1,000. In addition in 2019/20 a generous bequest from one of our Trustees was also transferred to this fund.
The Window reserve exists to cover the anticipated cost of maintaining and/or replacing the windows to an appropriate standard. The bespoke windows at the Hall represent a significant cost risk which is appropriately mitigated through this reserve, which is also increased annually by £500. The windows are being replaced in April 2022.
The General Reserve holds accumulated reserves from prior years and can be used for any charitable purpose approved by the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Trust.
