The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's

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 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 fairf,
view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the following statement.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In connection with my statement, no matter has come to my attention
l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the

THE HORBURY HERITAGE COMMUNITY BUILDING PRESERVATION & MANAGEMENT
TRUST LTD
Trustees. Annual Report 2024
Company Reg No 4122636, Charlty No 1091935 {Incorporating Primrose Hall Charity No 5101951
April 19th 2009 saw the Trust commence actively managing Primrose Hall as a community hall. Horbury
Heritage C. B. P. & M. Trust Ltd is the Trustee of Primrose Hall Charity no 510195.
The main purpose of refurbishing and reopening the Hall rnet one of Horbury Heritage C.B.P.& M. Trust Ltd
Objects: To preserve for the benefit of the people of Horbury and of the Nation, the historical architectural
and constructional heritage that may exist in and around Horbury". The refurbishment of Primrose Hall
fulfilled this Object and represents sustainable regeneration and management of a community hall to meet
the needs of Horbury people and the wider community. Primr05e Hall continues to make a valuable
contribution towards social inclusion within the town, encouraging good community health and social
relationships.
The Trust has no direct responsibility for any other buildings as at December 31st 2024, but it has continued
to be active in trying to protect the heritage of Green Park, Horbury and lobby regarding severa5 historic
buildings within the town. We remain committed to improving the condition of and promoting a better
future for Green Park. This was left in Trust for the use and benefit of the people of Horbury. Along with
Horbury Common Lands Trust, Horbury Heritage Trust IHHT) has undertaken a feasibility study into how the
park can be improved, managed and maintained if Wakefield Metropolitan District Council IWMDC) grant a
long lease to HHT under a Community Asset Transfer. The Trustees have also held a public consultation
regarding our plans and had them substantially endorsed by the local community and has completed and
been Successful in applying for and being awarded a Community Asset Transfer.
As a result, Green Park has been transferred to HHT under a 50-year lease, to manage and improve with a
Friends of Green Park Horbury group. This group has been formed and is accountable to HHT. Financial
support of £8000pa from Horbury Common Lands Trust and £2000pa from Primrose Hall will meet the
projected running costs.
The Trustees have continued payments of £2000 per annum from the Primrose Hall Charity to support the
Green Park project preliminary and annual running costs. These funds together with grants and funds raised
for the project are under HHT control and are shown as a specific reserve item in the balance sheet as well
as being separately detailed in the income and expenditure of HHT.
Prlmrose Hall: In respect of Primrose Hall's financial performance, 2024 has continued to see the Hall be
financially healthy with hirings at high levels. Income from hirings remains the main source of the hall's
income. Grant income was again b005ted this year by the grant raised to run a Senior Citizens Club though
over 80% of that grant is paid over to Mid Yorkshire Community Foundation to promote and staff the Club.
with Primrose Hall only retaining the value of the hire. The payment out is shown in the "Other expenditure"
line of the accounts.

The Trustees particularly thank Horbury Common Lands Trust who continue to provide a much-appreciated
annual award of £1,012 in 2024 towards our running costs.
Expenditure remained similar to 2023 except for fuel, where new tariffs are beginning to have an effect. The
Trustees are planning to invest in solar panels in 2025 to reduce electricity costs and to this end the repairs
and maintenance heading includes payment of a deposit of £3,255 in order to commission this work. We
have again increased salaries in line with inflation to reward our staff appropriately.
Our succe55 in managing the income and expenditure prudently over 15 years has allowed us to retain
healthy Primr05e Hall bank balances totalling just over£130,000 at the end of this period. The Trustees are
of the opinion that retaining a substantial reserve continues to be a prudent position as further major
expenses will be incurred from time to time. As mentioned above investment in the coming financial year in
solar panels while reducing the resenles should pay back in reduced electricity bills 80in8 forward a5 our
fixed tariffs come to an end.
Horbury Herltage C.B.P.&M. Trust Ltd: Despite the main focus of our activities being The Primrose Hall
Charity, the Horbury Heritage C.B.P.& M Trust Ltd remains an independent legal entity and its, accounts
continue to be shown separately. Funds raised towards the Green Park project, but held by HHT are shown
separately and funds held for that purpose are shown in a specific reserve. The Trust has continued to
monitor and lobby Wakefield MDC regarding the closing of all conditions relating to refurbishment of the
Grade11 listed Carr Lodge Mansion and Its associated parkland, along with Horbury Old Hall. As Carr Lodge is
occupied the ability of the Trust to achieve more in this regard is largely closed off. We have taken a close
interest in the future of the listed former decontamination unit behind the old Town Hall. We continue to
monitor the planning proposals for the redevelopment of the area surrounding the unit. We deem it prudent
to retain a reserve within the Heritage Trusts accounts in case further expense is required in these or other
areas of local heritage importance. The balances are currently sufficient to meet that objective.
Discountin8 Green Park fundraising and costs, the main HHT accounts shows a small surplus of £235 on the
year, largely because of interest earned on balances. The sums held for Green Park are accumulating despite
fee payments to meet legal costs of the lease and to prepare for the p5anning application for the
development of the park which amounted to £9230 in the year. Total funds at year end to complete the
planning application and develop the Park amounted to £93,626 at 31" December 2024. Grants included
£50,000 from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council towards footpaths and grants from Horbury Common
Lands Trust of £3,000 to assist in meeting planning application suNey costs and £8,000 as the first year of
maintenance support. Fundraising proceeds and donations from individua15 and local organisations totalling
£6,299 were also received including £475 raised at the Horbury Show. Modest sums have been invested in
wild flower planting in the park and plans are in place for further tree planting.
