## **Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley Memorial Hall** ## **AGM 18[th] April 2023** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report for year ending Jan 31[st] 2023** The refurbishment of the hall has been made possible by the efforts of the Project team members who have worked tirelessly and diligently to obtain some amazing grant awards and to stir the village in a similar vein. This has resulted in new room ceiling tiles, ground source heating, kitchen improvements, Gents toilet upgrades, Jubilee room new carpets and cupboards, new back stage curtains amongst other smaller upgrades. The result has seen an improvement in the perception of the hall and additional bookings from far and wide (Wedding celebrations from couples from Darwen, Accrington and Asian Heritage activities from Preston). It is more work for the committee but it has also resulted in greater income AND positive local recognition of the work that has gone into the improvements. The work does not stop, and there are still plans afoot for further changes.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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** [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._ I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did 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’ v iew 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. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ |**Signed:**
