Cheswardine Parish Hall Charity No 522487
Trustees Annual Report 2024
Review
The last year has been highly active for the Parish Hall Charity. The community groups that we continue to support have flourished.
Barley’s coffee house has become the centre in the village for community engagement. Our regulars who come from all corners of the Parish have joined with the young of the village school & nursery to generate an atmosphere of community through visits and local history displays.
Our Stay & Play group for young parents & children is well attended and is a first key step towards nursery & school for our growing youngsters.
Our Youth Club continues to be very well attended & provides a broad range activities for youngsters in the village which enables them to develop a range of life skills.
Our other community events specifically for adults continue to grow, the Second Tuesday group meetings and lectures are a success as is the Chatty Crafter’s afternoons that promote artistic skills. Table Tennis mornings continue to thrive.
Community Building
The Village meeting held in May brought together all village clubs & societies for a discussion on how each could participate more widely. It was well attended and finished with several proposals on future cooperation.
The Cheswardine Community Shop rGoup occupies part of the Hall premises for a commercial rent and this brings with it a symbiotic relationship to provide a much-needed centre for the
village.
Bingo held regularly in the Parish Hall provides entertainment and good cheer whilst building a supportive community. Event proceeds are channelled back into the hall and other community areas in the village.
Other events for the Community
We held a Special event to celebrate the 80th anniversary of D Day and provided for 150 villagers a celebratory occasion free of charge.
Residents were treated to a meal, Community singing and a performance by the Village Choir. The hall joined with other local groups, the Church and Parish Council to make this a memorable & significant day.

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 have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination 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’ 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.
