r¢sidents of the village for ¢v¢nts. Additionally. the hall is used &5 a resourtt by the local schLK)I for many of its
daily 8¢tivities.
Investment Policy
The Trustees ￿COgnized th¢ need to have enough resour¢es so that the village hall can continue to functLO
eff¢¢tively in the fjjture. To cater for major items of exwiditur¢ the Trustees plan for an ongoing SUTplws of
incorne over ¢xE*nditure and hold this surplus according to the wlicy below.
Sto￿.. This policy appli¢s to all village hall fund5 ex¢4K tlw rwired for OTtgoing day-tfrday and monthly
management of activities.
Risk.. The level of acceptable risk shall be minimal. This means we invest where financial servi¢ts 8tE closety
regulat¢tL where a}M￿)SatIOn whemes are in place with a suitable diversifid inve5kn¢nt ￿rtfoliO and not to
make any SF¢¢ulative forni of inve5tmeni.

Athievement Vdnd Perforniance
The Trustees are aware of the need to ensure that the village hall premises are maintained in good Condiiion for
hire and in particular that all risk assessments have i%en underraken aThl are kept up to date. Ass¢ssment &tails
are shown on the village hall website alongside bwking tenns. The T￿￿e¢S arrange for &Ntemal inspectiorLS and
Over the summer we egrrÉed a tnaj(Y repl￿ement and UP￿ of the heating and hot water system.
Unfortutjately. a few w¢¢ks Iat¢r. there was a failure of one of the new hot wat¢r joints that caused extensive
water and steam damage throughout the village hail. The most signifi¢ant of these is pennanent damage to the
main hall flIMir and also ￿ the walls and ¢¢ilin
This is now ihe SUbj￿t of a major insurance claim, with our insurers recovering the cost of th¢ works from the
Heating Contractorltheir insurer. We have appointed Morgan Clark Loss AssessoTS lo act on Im￿ Eehalf.
Major strip i)ut and restoration work5 will be undertaken by $￿tIaliSt contraciors. Works will commence
early 2026 and the total duration of the Work are likely to be between 4 and 6 Months.
The village hall will be out of ￿se forth¢ duration of these works. All hirers (in¢luding the school) h2v¢ been
mmunicated wÉth so that they can make alternate arramgements.
Financial Review
In 2025 there was a reduciion in tota] receiFts of 5V• whith w&8 driven by a drq) in rentsl income excluding the
of IP/r* compared to 2024.
In temis of payments in 2025 th¢re was a significant spend of £15,540 on a new heattng system. Significant
savings were made on utility bills with fixell contracts for el¢ctricity and gas. Water costs increased in 2025 as
result of 2 incide￿s.. a tsp left running and a flood folknving installatith of a new he￿Iti8 system (this will be
vered by Insur￿).
N￿¢. In 2024 there was a'one off, ex￿id1￿￿e for new faKirÉ8 of £4.150.
In 2025 headline payments exceeded receÉpts by £5J14. However, there is still a total balance of £73211 held
in th¢ current and building ￿lety accourt
There will be a significant loss of income in the first half of 2026 as the hall wtll be closed for repaiT5 following
th¢ flood in August 2025. It is expected the loss of tncome will b¢ ￿ver&I by Insurance.
