income whlch reached record levels In 2024. This reflects growth In both regular hirer incomes and
especially prlvate bookings along with the increasin8ly popular Trull Clnema and some fundralsing.

interlor improvements, security. fire safety. heating and decorating. Urgent work will commence In
2025 and roll forward as funds including possible grant options are Identified

and fundraising costs, gross profit was E35.421 compared to £28,626 in 2023.
Despite continued inflation. particularly of payroll and utility costs, operating expenditure has been
well controlled. Operating expenditure has fallen to £31,277 compared to £35.091 in 2022 due to
the timing of repairs and maintenance costs.
The trustees are pleased to a report a profft of £5.596 In 2024 compared to a £5,435 loss in 2023,
