REPORT FROM THE DRAKES BROUGHTON VILLAGE HALL TRUSTEES AND MANAGEMENT GROUP
2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Its now 2 years since this rejuvenated village Hall reopened for business…and things are going well. Things are in good shape. The hall is well used and from the comments we receive I think everyone really appreciates the more open aspect that came with the refurbishment.
This is a community hall, and keeping it open requires a community effort and we, the Management Group and the Trustees would like to thank everyone that is involved with looking out for the Village Hall for everything that you have done and continue to do to help keep the hall up and running for community benefit. We really grateful, and we hope that this lovely hall will remain as a welcoming centre for the community for many years to come.
I am grateful to my fellow Trustees (Sheila and Tina) for being Trustees -If anyone else would like to know more about what it involves, please do ask) and also to my fellow members of the management group - Martin, Tina and Tony who between them make sure that things are in good order (bookings, premises, finances) and that things run smoothly.
Keeping the hall in good order and keeping things running smoothly needs support and effort from the community - I know that there is a small army do so much behind the scenes - the person who audits the accounts, the people who open and close the gate, the people who help run the café, bake cakes and organise community events…. thank you
The person who is responsible for making sure our hall is clean and tidy also deserves a special mention – our thanks go to Kelly for taking care of things for us all.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Drakes Broughton Village Hall
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March2024 which are set out on pages 1 showing the Receipts and Payments for the year and pages 1 for the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the year.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner
As trustees of the charity the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to-
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b)of the 2011 Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the 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 any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts ,and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention,
-
Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with s 130 of the 2011Act: or
-
To prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records, have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion ,attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
