Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

(1)   That the Charities Sub-Committee approved the information required by the Charities Commission for the five registered charities, so that the returns can be submitted prior to the 31st January 2026 deadline.

 

(2)   That the Charities Sub-Committee noted the requirement for those charities with gross income of more than £25k in their financial year to have their accounts independently examined and, as this applies to King George’s Field and Hitchin Town Hall Gymnasium and Workmans Hall, instructs this to be undertaken for those accounts for 2024/25. This will be undertaken by the Shared Internal Audit Service (SIAS).

 

REASON FOR DECISIONS: To facilitate the submission of approved returns to the Charities Commission.
