TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)

Report of the Trustees for the year to 31[st] December 2021

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2021.

The Charities Constitution and Management structure

The Memorial Hall Charitable Trust was established by the conveyance of land between the Tang Estates and the Parish Council of Hampsthwaite made on 30[th] March 1953 for the purpose of erecting and running a village hall, the Parish Council being the Trustees.

The general management and control of the Trust’s premises and the arrangements for their use is invested in a management committee consisting of not more than twenty five members of whom eight shall be elected members of the public, the remainder being representatives of village organisations as laid out in the second schedule of the conveyance document.

All members of the committee shall retire at the Annual General Meeting. Every organisation entitled to appoint a member of the committee to replace a member retiring at the Annual General Meeting shall make the appointment at any time within one month before the Annual General Meeting.

Representation on the management committee is currently: -

Village organisations - Twelve

Public members - Eight

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the hall committee has been unable to meet during 2021; however, any major issues have been discussed by the officers and where necessary where decisions were required these were emailed for approval.

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the Trust are for the purposes of physical and mental training, recreation and social, moral and intellectual development through the medium of reading and recreation rooms, library, lecture classes, recreation and entertainments or otherwise as may be found expedient for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Hampsthwaite.

The hall is let on a fixed charge or hourly basis dependant upon the hirer in order to support the activities described above.

Achievements during the year

Sadly, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the operation of the hall has continued to be severely restricted in the activities that could be carried out. Despite this the hall managed to generate an income of £14,175 from hiring activities. Whilst hiring the hall all protocol procedures relating to COVID-19 were implemented. The hall received through the government COVID-19 support scheme distributed via borough councils a grant of £17,597.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAMPSTHWAITE MEMORIAL HALL

This report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages five to eleven, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner

As trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 145 of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and that examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement
