| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The charity's objects are for the benefit of the public generally in the UK. |
| Significant activities |
| The principal activity during the year was to provide and maintain the Kettlesing Millennium Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of Kettlesing and Felliscliffe, North Yorkshire. |
| Public benefit |
| The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, and they consider these activities are for the public benefit. |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| The hall was available for hire throughout the year for various events including weddings, parties, funerals, and other events and gatherings. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Financial position |
| A grant of £2,230 was received from Knabs Ridge which helped to fund property repairs. |
| Income from the hire of the hall increased from £30,370 to £35,431 due to a further increase in wedding bookings but an increase in costs meant that the charity incurred a net deficit of £6,128 (2023: £2,429) and the reserves stand at £359,506 (2023: £365,634). |
| Investment policy and objectives |
| Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the directors see fit. |
| Reserves policy |
| The trustees consider that a reserve of unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level sufficient to ensure the adequate maintenance of the freehold property and fixtures and fittings. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The charity is controlled by its governing document, its articles of association, and constitutes a limited company which is limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
| Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
| The trustees are also directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006. The appointment of new trustees is governed by the articles of association. The board is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies when they identify a need to do so. |
| Organisational structure |
| The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. Sub-committees undertake numerous supporting activities and are accountable to the trustees. No trustee or committee member receives remuneration. |
| Induction and training of new trustees |
| The trustees have been in place for a number of years and therefore no specific training has taken place, however the trustees have used publications and had discussions with their advisors where appropriate to increase their awareness. New trustees are given training appropriate to their role and position as soon as possible after their appointment. |

| INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF |
| THE KETTLESING MILLENNIUM VILLAGE HALL |
| COMPANY |
| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Kettlesing Millennium Village Hall Company ('the Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2024. |
| Responsibilities and basis of report |
| As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
| Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. |
| Independent examiner's statement |
| I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
| 1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
| 2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
| 3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or |
| 4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). |
| I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |

| COMPANY |
| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024 |
| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Income |
| All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
| Expenditure |
| Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
| Governance costs |
| Governance costs include all expenditure not directly related to the charitable activity or fundraising activities. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Fixture and fittings 10% on cost |
| No depreciation is charged on freehold buildings. The directors are of the opinion that the current value of the property is in excess of the book value therefore depreciation would not be appropriate. |
| Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
| Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
| Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Debtors |
| Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due |
| Cash at bank and in hand |
| Cash at bank and in hand represents cash and short-term highly liquid funds |

| Creditors |
| Creditors are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. |
| Grant income |
| Grants receivable relating to income are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which they relate. |
| Cash flow statement |
| The Charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement under Financial Reporting Standard 102 because it is a small charity. |
| Going concern |
| There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue in operation |

| The endowment funds relate to the land and buildings and represent the sum of the original grants and donations received for the building of the village hall. The permanent endowment fund represents the funds received from the Millennium Commission which were subject to a legal document and specific terms and conditions. The remaining funds which were not subject to such conditions are potentially convertible into income if the hall was ever disposed of and not replaced. Such conversion would be under the discretion of the trustees. |
| The restricted fund was used to fund the replacement of the roofing on the building. |
