Mancetter Memorial Hall Trustees Report April 2024 – March 2025
Mancetter Memorial Hall aims to provide a sustainable community centre at the heart of Mancetter, offering a variety of activities that promote health, leisure, and education.
Coventry and Warwickshire Mind holds mental health support sessions twice a week at the hall, using a dedicated side room for private meetings. Mancetter Parish Council also rents office space and shares facilities with the hall administration.
The hall accommodates children and young people through regular sessions by Barnardos, local Rainbows, Brownies and Guides, and a youth group run by Positive Impact Foundation. A private nursery operates to the rear, supporting childcare needs for working and vulnerable families, and hosts an annual Nativity Play each December.
Ongoing weekly activities include T’ai Chi, Bingo, and a popular Mature Movers dance class for over-50s, with new monthly pet therapy sessions. The Thursday Tea and Chat offers residents a social gathering. Karate classes are held for all ages, including those with special needs.
The venue also hosts monthly meetings for the Mancetter WI and Viking Re-enactment Group rehearsals, alongside various family celebrations, reinforcing its role as a vital and sustainable community hub.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MANCETTER MEMORIAL HALL FUND
| report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March 2025.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees & Examiner As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of s43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners’ 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 the seeking of 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiners’ 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:
- e to keep accounting records in accordance with s41 of the Act; and e 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 trustees wish to highlight that the Memorial Hall Fund is a charitable organisation which is run for the purposes of and in the interests of the local community. The sound financial management of the organisation will enable this role to continue to be fulfilled into the future.
