Recruitment and appointment of trustees
All of the charity's trustees are appointed or reappointed by the members at our annual general
Potential trustees are invited to apply in writing, and are considered for the board depending on the skills and experience they can offer, to enable the charity to meet its objectives.
Governing document
The Charity is a charitable unincorporated association and the purpose and administration arrangements are set out in our constitution.
Charitable purpose
Our purpose, as recorded in our constitution, is to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Kirkpatrick Durham and its environs without distinction of sex or political, religious or other opinions by associating the local and statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Activities and achievements
The charity continues to make the Hall available for let to the local community and any interested parties in the wider community too. We are also part of the local resilience group should an emergency arise. In 2024 a program of repairing and replacing the gable ends and the roofing was begun by Lewis Black, a local Heritage roofer. This work was finally completed in early 2025 but ran over budget. However, payment in full was achieved by use of hall profits. Also in 2025, we installed WiFi in the hall, thus enabling live streaming of events etc and expanding our potential usage.
Volunteers
The charity makes use of volunteers who offer their time and help to ensure the hall remains open and available. In line with accounting policies, no amount is recognised within the accounts for them.

The total deficit for the year of (£4,579) (2024: £4,294) leaves total reserves of £4,029 at the year end.
Of these reserves, there are no Restricted Funds and unrestricted funds of £3,829. The reserves held at the year end are considered by the board to be sufficient to enable the charity operate for at least 12 months should it face a shortage of income.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Kirkpatrick Durham Community Hall Committee
SC023627
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025 which are set out on pages 3 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended)("the 2006 Regulations"). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the 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
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations (as amended), and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations (as amended)
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.
