## Scaynes Hill Millennium Village Centre ## Chairman’s Report 2024 _(Including Buildings Report)_ I am pleased to report on behalf of the trustees, another very successful year for the village centre. The treasurers report outlines where we have invested in the centre and incurred some necessary repairs. The proposal for the new kitchen is currently with Mid Sussex District Council for approval of funding from s106 monies that are ring fenced for the centre. We anticipate getting this work completed this year. Consideration regarding the upgrading of our heating is on-going and we hope to reach a solution before too long. It is a balance between environmental consideration and constantly changing technology. Fortunately, there are funds allocated to the centre under s106, community infrastructure. These will, all being well, be available to fund the upgrade work. Leaving our reserves intact as insurance against unforeseen events. We have increased the hire rates during the year by about 10% to reflect the increase in our costs. During the year there has been repair work to the roof of the centre as well as to some of the doors inside the centre. We already have many people who support the centre in many ways both regularly and occasionally. I thank you most sincerely on behalf of the centre – you know who you are! It is hoped that the village will continue to be involved with the centre and we will use as many volunteers as possible to ensure the centre remains a valued asset in our community. If you can spare some time to support the centre in any way, please get in touch. If you have any skill that you could offer to the centre or know of anyone else who may be prepared to help, please let us know. (i.e., Builder, Window Cleaner, Tradesman, Lawyer, Roofer, Engineer etc.). We have welcomed several new trustees to the trustee committee during the year and their support is much appreciated. I am very grateful to all those who have supported us. Chair of Trustees ## **Scaynes Hill Village Centre Trust Annual Income and Expenses Year ended 31 March 2024** |**Income**
