HARBURY VILLAGE HALL
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT:
The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. Ten trustees are elected at each Annual General Meeting and six representative trustees can be appointed by local organisations prior to the Annual General Meeting each year to form the Committee until the next Annual General Meeting. The Committee has the power to co-opt no more than eight trustees to fill casual vacancies until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
The Committee shall hold at least two ordinary meetings in each year and may hold such other ordinary meetings as may be required. At least one third of total number of members are required to form a quorum at committee meetings.
The village hall occupies land leased from Harbury Parish Council at a peppercorn rent of one shilling(5p) per annum. The lease term is 999 years with effect from 17[th] October 1961.
OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT:
Harbury Village Hall provides a facility for the furtherance of sporting, cultural, social and artistic activity and community life within the village.
The hall is used by a wide group of local clubs and individuals. These include the parish council, theatre group, football club as well as for dance classes, karate classes, pilates, fundraising events, cinema and private parties. There are in excess of thirty regular user groups of the village hall with very high booking levels.
It can be confirmed that the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE:
The village hall is widely used by members of the village and local groups; however usage has fallen dramatically during 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The trustees have raised significant funding during the year and in 2021 to further improve the village hall facilities including an extension to the foyer.
FINANCIAL REVIEW:
The Trustees have considered the requirement for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed.
General income was £11,413 including £6,236 from the hire of the hall. After expenditure of £16,113 there was a deficit of £4,700 (2019 surplus £4,577). At the yearend there was a balance on unrestricted funds of £48,710 including £10,000 designated for major repairs, £4,175 in the designated fixed assets fund leaving general free reserves at the year-end of £34,535 (2019 £41,070).
The Major Development Fund generated net income of £42,199 during the year from fundraising events and other donations. There was a balance of £52,392 at 31[st] December 2020 in respect of unused funds held.
The Capital Account represents the total capital expenditure on the village hall building. The balance of the fund at 31[st] December 2020 was £488,032.

HARBURY VILLAGE HALL
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020
RELATED PARTIES:
Trustees are members of the local community and organisations making use of the village hall on the same basis and terms as other members of the community. Local organisations use the facilities and raise funds for the benefit of the village hall.
VOLUNTEERS:
The Trustees are indebted to volunteers for their commitment and support to assist with the running of the village hall.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES:
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practices). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
(i) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
(ii) Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charity SORP:
-
(iii) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(iv) State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
(v) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Trust, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
HARBURY VILLAGE HALL
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st December 2020 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as 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 material matters have come to my attention:
-
(1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance 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.
-
(2) I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
